Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a pivotal strategy for optimising the performance of power electronic converters and motor drive systems. By utilising an explicit model of the controlled ...

The trend is clear: The Power Supply industry is starting to accept full-digital control of Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) as a viable control technology. The advantages this trend brings are ...

Solar photovoltaic (SPV) systems are employed in applications ranging from simple battery charging to complex grid-connected solar inverters. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is an algorithm used ...

The simplest of fan-control schemes — an on-off switch — is simple but inefficient, because it provides more cooling than necessary most of the time. When on, the fully powered switch-controlled fan ...
