Copyright © 2013 Jun Hu et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.Some recent advances on the recursive filtering and sliding mode design problems for nonlinear stochastic systems with network-induced phenomena are surveyed. The network-induced phenomena under consideration mainly include missing measurements, fading measurements, signal quantization, probabilistic sensor delays, sensor saturations, randomly occurring nonlinearities, and randomly occurring uncertainties. With respect to these network-induced phenomena, the developments on filtering and sliding mode design problems are systematically reviewed. In particular, concerning the network-induced phenomena, some recent results on the recursive filtering for time-varying nonlinear stochastic systems and sliding mode design for time-invariant nonlinear stochastic systems are given, respectively. Finally, conclusions are proposed and some potential future research works are pointed out.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant nos. 61134009, 61329301, 61333012, 61374127 and 11301118, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK under Grant no.

Multi phase system for metal disc induction heating: modelling and RMS current control
This paper presents a multi phase induction system modelling for a metal disc heating and further industrial applications such as hot strip mill. An original architecture, with three concentric inductors supplied by three resonant current inverters leads to a reduced element system, without any coupling transformers, phase loop, mobile screens or mobile magnetic cores as it could be found in classical solutions. A simulation model is built, based on simplified equivalent models of electric and thermal phenomena. It takes into account data extracted from Flux2D® finite element software, concerning the energy transfer between the inductor currents and the piece to be heated. It is implemented in a versatile software PSim, initially dedicated to power electronic. An optimization procedure calculates the optimal supply currents in the inverters in order to obtain a desired power density profile in the work piece. The paper deals with The simulated and experimental results are compared in open-loop and closed loop. The paper ends with a current control method which sets RMS inductor currents in continuous and digital conditions
The Essential Role and the Continuous Evolution of Modulation Techniques for Voltage-Source Inverters in the Past, Present, and Future Power Electronics
The cost reduction of power-electronic devices, the increase in their reliability, efficiency, and power capability, and lower development times, together with more demanding application requirements, has driven the development of several new inverter topologies recently introduced in the industry, particularly medium-voltage converters. New more complex inverter topologies and new application fields come along with additional control challenges, such as voltage imbalances, power-quality issues, higher efficiency needs, and fault-tolerant operation, which necessarily requires the parallel development of modulation schemes. Therefore, recently, there have been significant advances in the field of modulation of dc/ac converters, which conceptually has been dominated during the last several decades almost exclusively by classic pulse-width modulation (PWM) methods. This paper aims to concentrate and discuss the latest developments on this exciting technology, to provide insight on where the state-of-the-art stands today, and analyze the trends and challenges driving its future

A survey on modeling of microgrids - from fundamental physics to phasors and voltage sources
Microgrids have been identified as key components of modern electrical
systems to facilitate the integration of renewable distributed generation
units. Their analysis and controller design requires the development of
advanced (typically model-based) techniques naturally posing an interesting
challenge to the control community. Although there are widely accepted reduced
order models to describe the dynamic behavior of microgrids, they are typically
presented without details about the reduction procedure---hampering the
understanding of the physical phenomena behind them. Preceded by an
introduction to basic notions and definitions in power systems, the present
survey reviews key characteristics and main components of a microgrid. We
introduce the reader to the basic functionality of DC/AC inverters, as well as
to standard operating modes and control schemes of inverter-interfaced power
sources in microgrid applications. Based on this exposition and starting from
fundamental physics, we present detailed dynamical models of the main microgrid
components. Furthermore, we clearly state the underlying assumptions which lead
to the standard reduced model with inverters represented by controllable
voltage sources, as well as static network and load representations, hence,
providing a complete modular model derivation of a three-phase inverter-based
microgrid
Fuzzy-logic-based control, filtering, and fault detection for networked systems: A Survey
This paper is concerned with the overview of the recent progress in fuzzy-logic-based filtering, control, and fault detection problems. First, the network technologies are introduced, the networked control systems are categorized from the aspects of fieldbuses and industrial Ethernets, the necessity of utilizing the fuzzy logic is justified, and the network-induced phenomena are discussed. Then, the fuzzy logic control strategies are reviewed in great detail. Special attention is given to the thorough examination on the latest results for fuzzy PID control, fuzzy adaptive control, and fuzzy tracking control problems. Furthermore, recent advances
on the fuzzy-logic-based filtering and fault detection problems are reviewed. Finally, conclusions are given and some possible future research directions are pointed out, for example, topics on two-dimensional networked systems, wireless networked control systems, Quality-of-Service (QoS) of networked systems, and fuzzy access control in open networked systems.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61329301,

Design and control of parallel three phase voltage source Inverters in low voltage AC microgrid
Design and hierarchical control of three phase parallel Voltage Source Inverters are developed in this paper. The control scheme is based on synchronous reference frame and consists of primary and secondary control levels. The primary control consists of the droop control and the virtual output impedance loops. This control level is designed to share the active and reactive power correctly between the connected VSIs in order to avoid the undesired circulating current and overload of the connected VSIs. The secondary control is designed to clear the magnitude and the frequency deviations caused by the primary control. The control structure is validated through dynamics simulations.The obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness of the control structure
