In recent years, voltage source multilevel converters are very popular in medium/high-voltage industrial applications, among which the NPC/H-Bridge converter is a popular solution to the medium/high-voltage drive systems. The conventional finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) strategy is not practical for multilevel converters due to their substantial calculation requirements, especially under high number of voltage levels. To solve this problem, a hierarchical model predictive voltage control (HMPVC) strategy with referring to the implementation of g-h coordinate space vector modulation (SVM) is proposed. By the hierarchical structure of different cost functions, load currents can be controlled well and common mode voltage can be maintained at low values. The proposed strategy could be easily expanded to the systems with high number of voltage levels while the amount of required calculation is significantly reduced and the advantages of the conventional FCS-MPC strategy are reserved. In addition, a HMPVC-based field oriented control scheme is applied to a drive system with the NPC/H-Bridge converter. Both steady-state and transient performances are evaluated by simulations and experiments with a down-scaled NPC/H-Bridge converter prototype under various conditions, which validate the proposed HMPVC strategy.

This paper presents an improved current control strategy for a three-phase grid-connected inverter under distorted grid conditions. Distorted grid condition is undesirable due to negative effects such as power losses and heating problem in electrical equipments. To enhance the power quality of distributed generation systems under such a condition, a modulated finite control set - model predictive control (MFCS-MPC) scheme will be proposed, in which the optimal switching signals of inverter are chosen by online basis using the principle of current error minimization. In addition, the moving average filter (MAF) is used to improve the phase-lock loop in order to obtain the harmonic-free reference currents on the stationary frame. The usefulness of the proposed MFCS-MPC method is proved by the comparative simulation results under different operating conditions.

This paper deals with the problem of steering a group of mobile robots along a reference path while maintaining a desired geometric formation. To solve this problem, the overall formation is decomposed into numerous geometric patterns composed of pairs of robots, and the state of the geometric patterns is defined. A control algorithm for the problem is proposed based on the Nash equilibrium strategies incorporating receding horizon control (RHC), also known as model predictive control (MPC). Each robot calculates a control input over a finite prediction horizon and transmits this control input to its neighbor. Considering the motion of the other robots in the prediction horizon, each robot calculates the optimal control strategy to achieve its goals: tracking a reference path and maintaining a desired formation. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated using numerical simulations.

An independent determination of H0 is crucial given the growing tension of the Hubble constant (H0). In this work, we present a new determination of H0 using velocities and Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) distances to 33 galaxies in front of the Virgo Cluster. We model the infall pattern of the local Hubble flow modified by the Virgo mass, as a function of the H0, the radius of the zero-velocity surface R0, and the intrinsic velocity scatter. Fitting velocities and TRGB distances of 33 galaxies to the model, we obtain H0 = 65.6 +/- 3.4 (stat) +/- 1.0 (sys) km/s/Mpc and R0 = 6.96 +/- 0.35 Mpc. Our local H0 is consistent with the global H0 determined from cosmic microwave background radiation, showing no tension.

실증연구들은 2001년 미국의 세금 환급에서 나타난 평균적인 한계소비성향이 이전의 조세 감축에서 보여진 한계소비성향보다 감소되었음을 암시하고 있다. 우리는 이와 같은 현상이 신용카드의 광범위한 사용으로 대부분의 미국 가계에서 차입이 쉬워짐으로써 발생하였다는 것을 차입제약 완화의 동태적 효과를 분석하는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 고찰한다. 우리 모형은 위험 기피도와 시점 간 대체탄력성을 독립적으로 결정하는 Kreps-Porteus 선호를 사용하여 차입제약이 완화된 직후 한계소비성향이 크게 하락하였음을 보여주고 있다. 우리 모형은 또한 차입제약이 완화된 후, 소비자들이 자산을 감소시켜 완화된 차입제약의 구속력이 서서히 커져서 한계소비성향이 이전보다 약간 낮은 새로운 정상상태로 서서히 상승됨을 보여주고 있다. 이러한 한계소비성향의 동태적 패턴은 신용카드 사용으로 인한 차입제약 완화가 2001년 세금환급에서 이전보다 낮은 한계소비성향을 야기하였음을 의미한다. 그리고 우리의 모형은 차입제약이 완화되었을 때 소비자들이 예비적 유동자산을 낮은 수준에서 유지한다는 것을 보여주고 있다.

This paper presents a proactive longitudinal motion planning algorithm for improving the safety of an automated bus. Since the field of view (FOV) of the autonomous vehicle was limited depending on onboard sensors' performance and surrounding environments, it was necessary to implement vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication for overcoming the limitation. After a virtual V2V-equipped target was constructed considering information obtained from V2V communication, the reference motion of the ego vehicle was determined by considering the state of both the V2V-equipped target and the sensor-detected target. Model predictive control (MPC) was implemented to calculate the optimal motion considering the reference motion and the chance constraint, which was deduced from manual driving data. The improvement in driving safety was confirmed through vehicle tests along actual urban roads.

삼중수소의 단일 피폭과 만성피폭에 의한 한국인의 내부피복 선량을 삼단계형모델을 이용하여 계산하였다. 이 모델은 체내수분과 조직체 사이의 삼중 수소의 축적량을 잘 나타내 주는 것이다. 그 결과 삼단계형의 축적 반감기 9, 30과 450일을 사용한 단일 피폭의 총 선량은 1mCi/kg 섭취당 17.64mrad였고 이것의 97%는 체내수분에 있는 삼중수소에 의한 선량이고 나머지 3%는 조직내 삼중수소에 의한 것이다. 그리고 1 mCi/day의 삼중 수소를 섭취하는 만성 피폭의 경우, 총 선량은 85.5mrad/day이었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 한국인에 대한 최대허용 농도값을 선질계수 1을 사용하여 계산하였다. 그 결과, ICRP의 최대허용 농도값은 약 50%가량 낮게 평가되었으므로 한국인의 최대허용 농도값은 ICRP의 결과보다 약 50%높게 책정되어야만 한다.

We present a two-stage inverter with high step-up conversion ratio engaging modified finite-set Model Predictive Control (MPC) for utility-integrated photovoltaic (PV) applications. The anticipated arrangement is fit for low power PV uses, the calculated efficiency at 150 W input power and 19 times boosting ratio was around 94%. The suggested high-gain dc-dc converter based on Cockcroft-Walton multiplier constitutes the first-stage of the offered structure, due to its high step-up ability. It can boost the input voltage up to 20 times. The 3S current-source inverter constitutes the second-stage. The 3S current-source inverter hires three semiconductor switches, in which one is functioning at high-frequency and the others are operating at fundamental-frequency. The high-switching pulses are varied in the procedure of unidirectional sine-wave to engender a current coordinated with the utility-voltage. The unidirectional current is shaped into alternating current by the synchronized push-pull configuration. The MPC process are intended to control the scheme and achieve the subsequent tasks, take out the Maximum Power (MP) from the PV, step-up the PV voltage, and introduces low current with low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and with unity power factor with the grid voltage.

A model predictive control (MPC) method without individual PWM has been recently researched to simplify and improve the control flexibility of a multilevel inverter. However, the input power of each H-bridge cell and the switching frequency of switching devices are unbalanced because of the use of a restricted switching state in the MPC method. This paper proposes a control method for balancing the switching patterns and cell power supplied from each isolated dc source of a cascaded H-bridge inverter. The supplied dc power from isolated dc sources of each H-bridge cells is balanced with the proposed cell balancing method. In addition, the switching frequency of each switching device of the CHB inverter becomes equal. A simulation and experimental results are presented with nine-level and five-level three-phase CHB inverter to validate the proposed balancing method.
