The majority of current research is based on ABC logic synthesis methods, which do not support multioutput logic gates, including mapping dual data flip-flop, resettable D flip-flop with clear, and their variants. Therefore, in the combinational logic optimization stage, we propose a local optimization method to search for specific logic in Boolean expressions by performing the characteristic representation of matrices to achieve technology mapping for multioutput SFQ gates. Moreover, we use multioutput logic gates to replace the redundant logic in the circuit. We illustrate the operation of our approach on ISCAS benchmark circuits. By adopting our proposed methodology, the performance, power consumption, and area performance of SFQ circuits are improved, which also increases the efficiency of our cell library utilization.","PeriodicalId":13104,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity","volume":"34 9","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes an optimal capacity configuration model for the hybrid electrolytic cells P2H system in distribution system (DS). Firstly, a unified operating model for the electrolytic cell is established. Secondly, the optimal capacity configuration model is proposed with the objective function to minimize the total cost of the DS, including the numbers and capacity configuration of the hybrid electrolytic cells. Finally, the proposed model is verified by using the modified IEEE 33-bus system. The results show the total cost of the proposed model reduced by 4% and 11%, the hydrogen production power increase of 0.26% and 0.52% compared to the AEC and PEMEC configurations only.

First, an analytical model based on general racetrack coils is given to calculate the thrust of the SLSM, which takes the elliptic effect edges into consideration. Second, combining the analytical model with the response surface method, a surrogate model is yielded to express the thrust with six variables. Third, the multiobjective optimization of the SLSM is carried out, taking the surrogate model as the fitness function of the genetic optimization algorithm. Fourth, the thrust ripple of the optimized SLSM is evaluated by finite-element models and compared with that of the original, considering the variable postures of the secondary resulting from the multi-degree-of-freedom motions of the EDS train. Finally, the optimization is verified by the measured thrust. Consequently, the thrust ripple of the SLSM is reduced by 49% with the invariant thrust and material consumption. In this work, an optimization of the SLSM is provided to enhance the comfort of the Yamanashi test line and the future EDS system.","PeriodicalId":13104,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity","volume":"34 9","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A two-dimensional (2D) particle-in-cell (PIC)/ Monte-Carlo collisional (MCC) model of the post-arc plasma dissipation process is established. Firstly, the influences of the TMF on the plasma motion are analyzed. The results indicate that the TMF enhances the ion velocity, thereby facilitating the plasma dissipation. In addition, the model was improved by considering the particle collision process. It was found that the TMF increases collisions and produces more charged particles, which hinders plasma dissipation. Finally, as the TMF affects the movement and collisions of particles, the time for the plasma dissipation initially decreases, then rises as the TMF increases from 0 mT to 400 mT. The minimum dissipation time occurs at 100 mT, with Cu\u0000<sup>+</sup>\u0000 taking 1.47 µs and electrons taking 1.14 µs.

To address these issues, this paper proposes a method for optimizing the rotor structure of IPMSMs to reduce torque ripple. The flux barriers in the rotor are abstracted as virtual slots, and the effect of the position of the virtual slots on torque ripple is studied. Based on this analysis, a general method for optimizing the rotor structure to reduce torque ripple is proposed. To demonstrate the proposed method's effectiveness, the original prototype's rotor structure is optimized using the proposed method. The electromagnetic performance of the prototype before and after optimization is calculated. The results show that the optimization can reduce the torque ripple without affecting other electromagnetic performance. Finally, the theoretical analysis and simulation results are validated by conducting a prototype test, which provides support for the proposed method of torque ripple reduction.","PeriodicalId":13104,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity","volume":"34 8","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
