A framework called “Combined AUTOSAR AP and ROS 2 Tracing Framework (CART)” was proposed in a previous study to integrate trace data from both platforms; however, its evaluation was limited to functional verification with small-scale applications, and its effectiveness in an environment with complexity and high load close to actual autonomous driving systems was unverified. Therefore, this article proposes the “Evaluation Platform for Tracing of Autonomous Driving System Combined AUTOSAR AP and ROS 2,” which extends CART and integrates CARLA, a high-fidelity simulator, and a practical autonomous driving software stack (Autoware). This platform targets the sequence from the reception of sensor data by the autonomous driving system, through processing via ROS 2 and AUTOSAR AP, to the emission of control commands immediately before they are forwarded to the simulator, enabling the tracking of overall system behavior and the identification of bottlenecks in complex mixed environments. The results indicate that integrated tracing and latency analysis using CART can be applied to a mixed AUTOSAR AP and ROS 2 autonomous driving stack executed in a cloud-based simulator-driven evaluation environment. Furthermore, quantitative evaluation confirmed that the CPU and memory overhead from the ara::log-based tracing method adopted by CART remain at a low level comparable to the ROS 2 standard tracing tool, affirming its viability for large-scale systems. The proposed platform supports detailed performance evaluation and reduces manual effort by enabling unified end-to-end latency analysis across the heterogeneous AUTOSAR AP and ROS 2 autonomous-driving stack.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"7 ","pages":"1385-1400"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11643586","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148925348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these challenges, this article introduces a nonisolated multiport bidirectional DC–DC converter developed using hybrid and cascaded converter design approaches, employing traditional boost, switched-coupled-inductor, and quadratic structures. The proposed topology features a high voltage conversion ratio, low semiconductor voltage stress, continuous input current with low ripple, high efficiency, and low cost without the need for heavy and expensive cooling systems. The proposed converter integrates high- and low-voltage ESUs into a single converter and interfaces them with high- and low-voltage DC busbars. Moreover, the proposed converter supports multiple operating scenarios and enables charging and discharging of the connected ESUs using only two control inputs without increasing control complexity. The proposed converter is analyzed under steady-state and dynamic conditions, followed by the design of its components and controller. Furthermore, it is compared with similar converters in terms of various performance metrics to validate its advantages.

This article proposes a new single-stage CGSC-TL nine-level (9L) multilevel inverter (MLI) with voltage-boosting capability and limited spikes of charging current of the capacitor, designed to be employed as a single-stage power-electronics-based interface device between renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) systems and power grid and/or load. The proposed MLI provides several merits, such as a common-ground structure that suppresses PV-to-ground leakage current associated with PV parasitic capacitances, active and reactive power support, a wide input voltage range, and higher output voltage levels (9L) compared with other structures in the same class. Comprehensive comparative analyses, as well as simulation and experimental results, are presented to verify the performance of the proposed inverter.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"7 ","pages":"86-103"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11316224","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145929677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cam profiles were designed for vertical chewing with different lateral excursions to provide small, medium, and large shear strains during occlusion. The robot's kinematics were modeled, and real human chewing trajectories, measured using an optical tracking system, were converted into motor reference profiles via a closed-form inverse-kinematics transformation derived from the cam-follower geometry, with chamber-specific phase offsets. To enable head-to-head comparisons under identical actuation and ambient conditions, TriChewer operates three oral chambers in parallel, each reproducing a distinct human-inspired force-shear regime. Chamber-specific occlusal-force profiles, paired with distinct trajectories and food types, were imposed to quantify their effects on texture evolution during chewing. A position controller combining velocity/acceleration feedforward with PID feedback ensured accurate trajectory tracking. Experimental studies on roasted peanuts and breadcrumbs were conducted. Results indicate that occlusal force is the dominant determinant of chewing performance. For roasted peanuts, sufficient force progressively reduced particle size, and trajectories combining lateral shear with vertical compression outperformed pure compression. For breadcrumbs, sufficient force with minimal shear decreased thickness and increased hardness and cohesiveness, whereas excessive shear caused tearing and reduced cohesiveness. This study demonstrates the successful application of human chewing motions in a robotic system to analyze food texture dynamics.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"7 ","pages":"104-118"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11316426","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145929678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown for the first time that the virtual output impedance-targeted false data injection attack is capable of destabilizing the autonomous microgrid, especially when the distribution lines' X/R ratio is sufficiently low. Through small-signal modeling, the low-frequency oscillations and stability margin are comprehensively characterized, providing a theoretical basis for designing resilience-enhancing virtual output impedance controls against false data injection attacks. This method can provide additional damping to microgrids with any low X/R ratio, ensuring an adequate stability margin. To simplify the small-signal model for design analysis, the work adopted the assumptions of light and high-power factor loads, as well as small voltage-angle variations across the microgrid network. A design guideline that considers the damping ratio and the diminishing-return nature of the stabilizing effect provided by the virtual inductance has been developed. The proposed modeling, attack analysis, and resilience-enhancing techniques are comprehensively demonstrated and validated on a two-distributed energy resource microgrid through simulations and experiments. It is shown that the enhanced virtual output impedance control successfully improves the resilience of the microgrid against false data injection attacks, suppressing low-frequency oscillations and maintaining grid stability.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"7 ","pages":"119-135"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11316366","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145929479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate current control plays a critical role in achieving high performance, and a wide speed operation range is often required in electrified drivetrains.

This article presents a comprehensive review and classification of current control strategies for SRMs, organized according to their applicable speed regions. The speed-dependent characteristics and corresponding control challenges are first discussed to establish the basis for classification. Existing methods are then categorized into two major groups: those applicable to low and intermediate speeds and those tailored for high-speed operation. Each category is analyzed in terms of dynamic performance, robustness, and computational complexity. Representative current control methods are evaluated through both simulation and experimental validation to assess their performance across varying speed conditions.

A peak current optimization strategy tailored for electrolysis applications is proposed.

In the overwhelming majority of control systems, the developers use maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control, which is a tradeoff between simplicity and loss minimization. The developers mainly pay attention to MTPA control in steady-state modes, which are usually the main operating modes of motor drives. However, motors in some applications such as automotive, machine tools, etc., operate with numerous transients, thus the implementation of MTPA control in transients is crucial for efficient control in those applications. Therefore, this article proposes an algorithm for the planning of current transients, which aims for the provision of the trajectory closer to motor MTPA curve. In steady state mode the proposed technique is inactive, however when the control system detects significant change of current command, it activates the planning algorithm. The algorithm detects transient direction (raising or falling current) and defines initial and target points. Then it calculates the ratio between cutoff frequencies of <italic>d</i>- and <italic>q</i>-axis current PI controllers and changes the gains of the slowest controller. When that transient is over, the algorithm restores the modified gains and becomes inactive.
