Seed image analysis and taxonomy of Diplotaxis DC. (Brassicaceae, Brassiceae)

The genus Diplotaxis, comprising 32 or 34 species, plus several additional infraspecific taxa, displays a considerable degree of heterogeneity in the morphology, molecular markers, chromosome numbers and geographical amplitude of the species. The taxonomic relationships within the genus Diplotaxis were investigated by phenetic characterisation of germplasm belonging to 27 taxa of the genus, because there is an increasing interest in Diplotaxis, since some of its species (D. tenuifolia, D. muralis) are gathered or cultivated for human consumption, whereas others are frequent arable weeds (D. erucoides) in many European vineyards. Using a computer-aided vision system, 33 morpho-colorimetric features of seeds were electronically measured. The data were used to implement a statistical classifier, which is able to discriminate the taxa within the genus Diplotaxis, in order to compare the resulting species grouping with the current infrageneric systematics of this genus. Despite the high heterogeneity of the samples, due to the great intra-population variability, the stepwise Linear Discriminant Analysis method, applied to distinguish the groups, was able to reach over 80% correct identification. The results obtained allowed us to confirm the current taxonomic position of most taxa and suggested the taxonomic position of others for reconsideration.

Simulation of AC, DC, and AC-DC coupled mini-grids. In search of the most efficient system

Renewable energy hybrid systems and mini-grids for electrification of rural areas are known to be reliable and more cost efficient than grid extension or only-diesel based systems. However, there is still some uncertainty in some areas, for example, which is the most efficient way of coupling hybrid systems: AC, DC or AC-DC? With the use of Matlab/Simulink a mini-grid that connects a school, a small hospital and an ecotourism hostel has been modelled. This same mini grid has been coupled in the different possible ways and the system’s efficiency has been studied. In addition, while keeping the consumption constant, the generation sources and the consumption profile have been modified and the effect on the efficiency under each configuration has also been analysed. Finally different weather profiles have been introduced and, again, the effect on the efficiency of each system has been observed.

Electrical Power Fluctuations in a Network of DC/AC inverters in a Large PV Plant: relationship between correlation, distance and time scale

This paper analyzes the correlation between the fluctuations of the electrical power generated by the ensemble of 70 DC/AC inverters from a 45.6 MW PV plant. The use of real electrical power time series from a large collection of photovoltaic inverters of a same plant is an impor- tant contribution in the context of models built upon simplified assumptions to overcome the absence of such data. This data set is divided into three different fluctuation categories with a clustering proce- dure which performs correctly with the clearness index and the wavelet variances. Afterwards, the time dependent correlation between the electrical power time series of the inverters is esti- mated with the wavelet transform. The wavelet correlation depends on the distance between the inverters, the wavelet time scales and the daily fluctuation level. Correlation values for time scales below one minute are low without dependence on the daily fluctuation level. For time scales above 20 minutes, positive high correlation values are obtained, and the decay rate with the distance depends on the daily fluctuation level. At intermediate time scales the correlation depends strongly on the daily fluctuation level. The proposed methods have been implemented using free software. Source code is available as supplementary material.

Performance metrics for small-signal stability assessment of DC-distributed power-system-architecture comparisons

The objective of this paper is to provide performance metrics for small-signal stability assessment of a given system architecture. The stability margins are stated utilizing a concept of maximum peak criteria (MPC) derived from the behavior of an impedance-based sensitivity function. For each minor-loop gain defined at every system interface, a single number to state the robustness of stability is provided based on the computed maximum value of the corresponding sensitivity function. In order to compare various power-architecture solutions in terms of stability, a parameter providing an overall measure of the whole system stability is required. The selected figure of merit is geometric average of each maximum peak value within the system. It provides a meaningful metrics for system comparisons: the best system in terms of robust stability is the one that minimizes this index. In addition, the largest peak value within the system interfaces is given thus detecting the weakest point of the system in terms of robustness.

Bidirectional multiple port dc/dc transformer based on a series resonant converter

In this paper a novel bidirectional multiple port dc/dc transformer topology is presented. The novel concept for dc/dc transformer is based on the Series Resonant Converter (SRC)topology operated at its resonant frequency point. This allows for higher switching frequency to be adopted and enables high efficiency/high power density operation. The feasibility of the proposed concept is verified on a 300W, 700 kHz three port prototype with 390V input voltage and 48V and 12V output voltages. A peak overall efficiency of 93% is measured at full load. A very good load and cross regulation characteristic of the converter is observed in the whole load range, from full load to open circuit. The sensitivity analysis of the resonant capacitance is also performed showing very slight deterioration in the converter performances when a resonant capacitor is changed ±30% of its nominal value.

Systematic Method to Assess Small-Signal Stability of DC-Distributed Power-System-Architecture

The objective of this paper is to present a simplified method to analyze small-signal stability of a power system and provide performance metrics for stability assessment of a given power-system-architecture. The stability margins are stated utilizing a concept of maximum peak criteria (MPC), derived from the behavior of an impedance-based sensitivity function that provides a single number to state the robustness of the stability of a well-defined minor-loop gain. For each minor-loop gain, defined at every system interface, the robustness of the stability is provided as a maximum value of the corresponding sensitivity function. Typically power systems comprise of various interfaces and, therefore, in order to compare different architecture solutions in terms of stability, a single number providing an overall measure of the whole system stability is required. The selected figure of merit is geometric average of each maximum peak value within the system, combined with the worst case value of system interfaces.

Análisis, simulación y pruebas de un convertidor DC/DC para aplicaciones aeronáuticas

En la actualidad se está desarrollando la electrónica para el diseño de sistemas de conversión de potencia de alta frecuencia, que reduce notablemente el peso y el ruido de los dispositivos convertidores y aumenta a su vez la densidad de potencia sin afectar negativamente al rendimiento, coste o fiabilidad de dichos dispositivos. La disciplina que se encarga de investigar y crear estos sistemas es la electrónica de potencia. Este documento recoge la metodología empleada para el diseño, análisis y simulación de un convertidor DC/DC de 10 kW de aplicación aeronáutica. Este dispositivo forma parte de un proyecto en el que colaboran el Centro de Electrónica Industrial de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (CEI - UPM) y las empresas Indra y Airbus. Su objetivo es el diseño y construcción de un rectificador trifásico que proporcione una salida continua de 28 V y 10 kW de potencia. Durante su aplicación final, se dispondrá de dos dispositivos idénticos al diseñado en este proyecto, aportando cada uno de ellos 5 kW, sin embargo, debido a la importancia en seguridad en las aplicaciones aeronáuticas, cada rectificador debe ser capaz de aportar 10 kW de potencia en caso de fallo en uno de ellos. En primer lugar, este trabajo explica el diseño elegido para dicho convertidor, que sigue una topología Dual Active Bridge (DAB), en creciente interés para el desarrollo de dispositivos de potencia en alta frecuencia por sus mejoras en eficiencia y densidad de potencia. Esta topología consiste en dos puentes completos de dispositivos de conmutación, en este caso MOSFET, con un transformador entre medias diseñado para proporcionar la tensión de salida deseada. La topología ha sido modificada para satisfacer especificaciones del proyecto y cumplir las expectativas del diseño preliminar, que se centra en la transición suave de corriente en el transformador, siendo clave el diseño de un filtro resonante en serie con el transformador que proporciona una corriente senoidal con valor nulo en los instantes de conmutación de los MOSFET. Una vez introducida la topología, el siguiente capítulo se centra en el procedimiento de selección de componentes internos del convertidor: destacando el análisis de condensadores y MOSFET. Para su selección, se han estudiado las exigencias eléctricas en los puntos en los que estarán instalados, conociendo así las tensiones y corrientes que deberán soportar. Para asegurar un diseño seguro, los componentes han sido seleccionados de forma que durante su funcionamiento se les exija como máximo el 70% de sus capacidades eléctricas y físicas. Además, a partir de los datos aportados por los fabricantes ha sido posible estimar las pérdidas durante su funcionamiento. Este proyecto tiene un enfoque de aplicación aeronáutica, lo que exige un diseño robusto y seguro, que debe garantizar una detección rápida de fallos, de modo que sea capaz de aislar la anomalía de forma eficaz y no se propague a otros componentes del dispositivo. Para asegurarlo, se ha realizado la selección de sensores de tensión y corriente, que permiten la detección de fallos y la monitorización del convertidor. Al final de este apartado se muestra el esquema de alimentación, se analiza el consumo de los MOSFET y los sensores y se recopilan las pérdidas estimadas por los componentes internos del convertidor. Una vez terminado el diseño y selección de componentes, se muestran las simulaciones realizadas para prever el comportamiento del convertidor. Se presenta el modelo construido y las modificaciones instaladas para las diferentes simulaciones. Se destacan el diseño del regulador que introduce la entrada de corriente del convertidor para analizar su arranque, la construcción de una máquina de estados para analizar la detección de tensiones y corrientes fuera del intervalo correspondiente del correcto funcionamiento, y el modelo de MOSFET para simular los fallos posibles en estos dispositivos. También se analiza la influencia de la oscilación de la carga en los valores de tensión y en la resonancia del convertidor. Tras la simulación del equipo se describen las pruebas realizadas en los componentes magnéticos construidos dentro del periodo de elaboración de este trabajo: el transformador y la bobina externa, diseñada para mejorar el filtro resonante. La etapa final de este trabajo se ha centrado en la elaboración de un código de generación de señales PWM que controlen el funcionamiento de los MOSFET. Para esto se ha programado una tarjeta de control del procesador digital de señales (DSP)Delfino (TMS320F28335) instalado en una placa de experimentación (TMS320C2000), desarrollado por la empresa Texas Instruments, que facilita el acceso a los terminales GPIO y ADC del DSP durante el desarrollo del código, anexo a este documento.
