FCS-MPC for four-switch three-phase AC-DC converters with DC-link capacitor voltage balancing

Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation, 2019
Due to the decrease in the number of switches for the four-switch three-phase alternating current-direct current（FSTP AC-DC） converter, it can easily lead to DC-link capacitor voltage imbalance and the system stability reduction.

Tough and Skin‐Free Porous Polyelectrolyte Complex Hydrogels via Salt‐Induced Aqueous Phase Separation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Controlling counterion exchange rate during aqueous phase separation enables the formation of skin‐free, homogeneously porous polyelectrolyte complex hydrogels by suppressing kinetically trapped skin layers and macrovoids. The resulting hydrogel networks exhibit exceptional toughness (∼15 MJ·m−3) and enable 3D (bio)printing and post‐functionalization ...
