The proposed VBC method can assist charging stations in balancing the dc-bus voltages so that additional balancing circuits are eliminated, leading to improved system efficiency. Meanwhile the proposed modulation method is not only intuitive to be implemented, but also have merits of reduced switching frequency, resulting in lower switching losses. The modulation principle is formulated, and its effective combination with the voltage balance control are analysed in detail. Based on which, the overall control scheme for the charging system is proposed. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":270660,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 10th Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128420151","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}

One of the key issues which are urgent to be solved is to effectively classify human error, while now there is still no uniform fixed method. Firstly, engineering classification method and cognitive behavioral classification method are analyzed starting from the definition of the human error in this paper. On this basis, the paper also gives the comprehensive evaluation index for controllable human error using Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis (PFMEA). At last, taken the assembling process of the automobile gearbox for example, a case study is conducted.

Air conditioning loads are a significant portion of the overall peak load on grids. In order to match generation and load in a more optimal way and reduce the strain on the grids, we need load information of houses in advance. The main problem is that the majority of houses are still not smart enough to notify the grids about future loads. Even the smart houses with such capability, the users need to keep track of it, which is a cumbersome manual task. Furthermore, the houses do not have the ability to sense the occupant and air conditioning requirements if the occupant is on the road. In this paper we have proposed a system to tackle these problems. The proposed system is a smart agent developed by combining existing technologies such as smart phones, GPS sensors, Internet over GSM networks, cloud services, and a novel application of image processing to combine interfaces of different components and technologies. Development of this smart agent requires low cost, less resources, and no modification to the existing systems. Lab results show that the prototype agent can easily sense and notify the upcoming air conditioning loads to the grid operator. A conservative estimate of the proposed systems' effect on the grid shows that in peak hours by just keeping 1000 ACs away from the grid for a single minute may result in a significant reduction of grid load by 1 MW.","PeriodicalId":270660,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 10th Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124761692","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}

There is a rich set of knowledge for ergonomics design but it is mostly about how easy for the human operator to operate directly or monitor the product. For HMCPs, there is not only the issue of how easy to operate or monitor but also the issue of how the human operates.

In order to improve the robust performance merely using open-loop time optimal control, a closed-loop attitude tracking strategy is proposed, which means designing a controller to guide system states to follow the prior optimization results. The optimization procedure is implemented by solving the nonlinear programming problem to which the original problem is transformed with the aid of collocation method. The closed-loop tracking controller design is achieved by utilizing sliding mode and adaptive control methods to provide control system with strong robustness.

Taking the gird-connected MMC rectifier as an example, a comprehensive control scheme is proposed to perform the DC voltage control as well as the reactive power control.
