Boost Integrated Three-Phase Solar Inverter using Current Unfolding and Active Damping Methods
© 2018 IEEJ Industry Application Society. This paper proposes a three-phase grid connected solar inverter with integrated boost function. The circuit operating principle is based on current unfolding and injection method, which is similar to that of a SWISS rectifier. This approach requires only two high frequency switches operating at only half voltage stress, thus leading to a significant reduction in switching losses. Other switches only operate at line frequency, and therefore can be optimized to reduce conduction losses. The proposed inverter therefore can deliver high efficiency. This paper discusses the basic operating principle as well as control method for the inverter. It is revealed that the output currents of the proposed inverter contains intrinsic oscillation due to current unfolding operation. In order to solve this problem, an active damping method is proposed to stabilize the operation. As a result, stable operation of the proposed method is confirmed by simulation. The feasibility of the proposed inverter is also confirmed using a mini laboratory prototype
Tradeoff Analysis of Delay-Power-CSIT Quality of Dynamic BackPressure Algorithm for Energy Efficient OFDM Systems
In this paper, we analyze the fundamental power-delay tradeoff in
point-to-point OFDM systems under imperfect channel state information quality
and non-ideal circuit power. We consider the dynamic back- pressure (DBP)
algorithm, where the transmitter determines the rate and power control actions
based on the instantaneous channel state information (CSIT) and the queue state
information (QSI). We exploit a general fluid queue dynamics using a continuous
time dynamic equation. Using the sample-path approach and renewal theory, we
decompose the average delay in terms of multiple unfinished works along a
sample path, and derive an upper bound on the average delay under the DBP power
control, which is asymptotically accurate at small delay regime. We show that
despite imperfect CSIT quality and non-ideal circuit power, the average power
(P) of the DBP policy scales with delay (D) as P = O(Dexp(1/D)) at small delay
regime. While the impacts of CSIT quality and circuit power appears as the
coefficients of the scaling law, they may be significant in some operating
regimes.Comment: 30 page
Electron Addition Spectrum in the Supersymmetric t-J Model with Inverse-Square Interaction
The electron addition spectrum A^+(k,omega) is obtained analytically for the
one-dimensional (1D) supersymmetric t-J model with 1/r^2 interaction. The
result is obtained first for a small-sized system and its validity is checked
against the numerical calculation. Then the general expression is found which
is valid for arbitrary size of the system. The thermodynamic limit of
A^+(k,omega) has a simple analytic form with contributions from one spinon, one
holon and one antiholon all of which obey fractional statistics. The upper edge
of A^+(k,omega) in the (k,omega) plane includes a delta-function peak which
reduces to that of the single-electron band in the low-density limit.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Let
Size dependent line broadening in the emission spectra of single GaAs quantum dots: Impact of surface charges on spectral diffusion
Making use of droplet epitaxy, we systematically controlled the height of
self-assembled GaAs quantum dots by more than one order of magnitude. The
photoluminescence spectra of single quantum dots revealed the strong dependence
of the spectral linewidth on the dot height. Tall dots with a height of ~30 nm
showed broad spectral peaks with an average width as large as ~5 meV, but
shallow dots with a height of ~2 nm showed resolution-limited spectral lines
(<120 micro eV). The measured height dependence of the linewidths is in good
agreement with Stark coefficients calculated for the experimental shape
variation. We attribute the microscopic source of fluctuating electric fields
to the random motion of surface charges at the vacuum-semiconductor interface.
Our results offer guidelines for creating frequency-locked photon sources,
which will serve as key devices for long-distance quantum key distribution.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures; updated figs and their description
Combinatorial interpretation of Haldane-Wu fractional exclusion statistics
Assuming that the maximal allowed number of identical particles in state is
an integer parameter, q, we derive the statistical weight and analyze the
associated equation which defines the statistical distribution. The derived
distribution covers Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein ones in the particular cases
q = 1 and q -> infinity (n_i/q -> 1), respectively. We show that the derived
statistical weight provides a natural combinatorial interpretation of
Haldane-Wu fractional exclusion statistics, and present exact solutions of the
distribution equation.Comment: 8 pages, 2 eps-figure
A Study on Knowledge Sharing in Vietnamese Organizations
Knowledge sharing is very much a sign for the atmosphere of social interactions in the organizations, it depends on the quality of the conversation, formally or informally. In other words, for more effective knowledge sharing, communication competence is required in order to have appropriate conversation. During the past decades, most theories of communication competence have been developed on the basis of “western” conceptualization. This empirical research is conducted in order to study the organizational communication competence in a non-western country, Vietnam, and the effect of such competence to the employees’ knowledge sharing behavior respectively. Base on the data collected from 11 organizations, the effects of three culture dimensions, namely individualism, power distance, and uncertainty avoidance to the communication competence were statistically analyzed; then, stemming from the certain level of communication competence, the behavior of organizational members towards knowledge sharing was explaine
Exact dynamical structure factor of the degenerate Haldane-Shastry model
The dynamical structure factor of the K-component (K = 2,3,4)
spin chain with the 1/r^2 exchange is derived exactly at zero temperature for
arbitrary size of the system. The result is interpreted in terms of a free
quasi-particle picture which is generalization of the spinon picture in the
SU(2) case; the excited states consist of K quasi-particles each of which is
characterized by a set of K-1 quantum numbers. Divergent singularities of
at the spectral edges are derived analytically. The analytic
result is checked numerically for finite systems.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Let
Renormalized Harmonic-Oscillator Description of Confined Electron Systems with Inverse-Square Interaction
An integrable model for SU() electrons with inverse-square interaction
is studied for the system with confining harmonic potential. We develop a new
description of the spectrum based on the {\it renormalized
harmonic-oscillators} which incorporate interaction effects via the repulsion
of energy levels. This approach enables a systematic treatment of the
excitation spectrum as well as the ground-state quantities.Comment: RevTex, 7 page
