Small power sources (≤ 1000W) tend to have more abrupt transient power flow due to the associated characteristic low inertia. This is prevalent in small wind turbine systems. In an effort to reduce the complexity of system control under fast power transients, we develop an averaged model which allows for more advanced controller design while keeping computations reasonable low. This effort is intended to complement related work in distributed generation power flow measurement and control suitable for emerging smart-grid and micro-grid systems. We also utilize a more accurate inductor model incorporating resistive effects for the converter power coupling device. Simulation results are provided demonstrating the capability of the model.","PeriodicalId":188414,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology (EIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129455967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the acquisition phase, many artifacts may adversely affect the quality of the sample edge estimation and interfere with surface detection. Their accuracies are important for metrology and correct volume visualization. In particular, the artifacts caused by the scatter radiation can be substantially strong, depending on the sample material and the geometry. In this paper we present a study on the use of wavelet denoising techniques to reduce the impact of such artifacts. The acquired images are filtered before the 3D reconstruction process. The reconstructed volumes are analised with the purpose of evaluating the influence of the denoising process, aiming at a better visual quality and more precise surfaces determination.","PeriodicalId":188414,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology (EIT)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129214949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Software modification of large code bases often consists of recurring changes, similar but slightly different changes across multiple locations and revisions. It is a high-effort, time consuming process for developers to find all the relevant locations to maintain such changes among bug-fixes, refactorings, and new code being added to the code base for new features. This process is highly error-prone leading to many mistakes, such as inconsistent or incorrect updates. To address this problem, we present a tool that helps developers ensure correctness of recurring changes to multiple locations in an evolving software. CloneMap is a clone-aware code inspection tool which allows developers to specify the older and newer revisions of a software. It then applies a clone detection technique to (1) mine repositories for extracting differences of recurring changes, (2) visualize the clone evolution, and (3) help developers focus their attention to potential anomalies, such as inconsistent and missing updates as the software evolves from one revision to the next.","PeriodicalId":188414,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology (EIT)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121173809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This configuration makes it possible to generate both positive and negative forces. The linearization of this force results in force-current and force-displacement factors, which make the control design easier as it can exploit all the tools of linear control theory. However, the control performance can deteriorate when these factors do not closely match the real plant. This paper presents a procedure to identify the force-displacement and force-current factors in an active magnetic bearing (AMB) system using grey-box modeling. These force factors are obtained for different operating points defined by a range of bias currents. Since the AMB has an unstable open loop nature, a position Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is implemented to stabilize the plant. Experimental data are collected exciting the system with a persistent disturbance current. The models tuned with the identified parameters were able to describe the plant dynamics with improved accuracy. The set of identified parameters can be exploited in model-based control approaches by varying energy-efficiently the bias current.","PeriodicalId":188414,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology (EIT)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125601192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
