The space vector model of a five-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) yields 32 vectors, with 30 active and two zero vectors. The presented technique utilizes 11 space vectors for the current control and hence the name finite control set is given. Search is made by the algorithm to find the vector which minimizes the chosen cost function. It is shown that the performance of the current control relies upon the choice of the cost function, the number of vectors used and the sampling time.

More importantly, this type of technique not only reduces the leakage effect caused by the floating target, but it also prevents the interference picked up by the floating target from significantly influencing the performance. The technique has been prototyped using a printed circuit board, and measurement results show a dynamic range of 15 bits.","PeriodicalId":256385,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115723210","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}

The method employs a free-standing laser that is used to define a goal point, a 3D point on an object of interest. Biclops, a directed stereo vision system, uses triangulation to compute the coordinates of the 3D point. A trajectory is defined by collecting a sequence of quasi-static points designated by the free-standing laser. This trajectory can be executed by the robot in 3D space either on the fly or stored for subsequent execution. While a single robot is needed to capture the laser-tagged points, we use a second robot to verify that the 3D point was computed correctly. The first robot carries Biclops and computes the coordinates of the points designated by the free-standing laser. The second robot, which carries a laser, receives the 3D point information from the first robot. Then, the second robot aims at the free-standing laser point. Ideally, the two laser points will overlap. Directed laser-tagging is a rapid way to obtain 3D points compared to other traditional methods including teach-pendants and off-line programming. Experiments show that the error between the laser designated points and the vision acquired points is typically less than 3 mm.","PeriodicalId":256385,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127452310","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}

Bit-Stream signals can be directly applied to control electronic devices but the high speed nature of Bit-Stream signals can lead to excessive switching losses. Thus it is essential to down-sample Bit-Stream signals to reduce switching losses to acceptable levels. This paper presents a novel modulator, which down-samples high frequency Bit-Streams to low frequency switching signals that are suitable for driving a three-state full-bridge inverter. Methods for compensating for switch dead time and balancing switching losses of the inverter legs are presented, and the performance of the proposed modulator is compared to a standard PWM strategy to show that it produces output currents with comparable THD and reduced switching losses.","PeriodicalId":256385,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125115951","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}

The method selects the commutation state of the converter according to an optimization algorithm given by a simple cost functional and the discrete system model. The control goals are regulation of the load current and to force the input current to be sinusoidal with unity displacement power factor.
