A Novel Bipolar DC Connection Strategy for Photovoltaic Power Plants With a 50% Reduction in DC Cabling Length

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Bipolar configuration is a new topology in the direct current (DC) system of photovoltaic power plants, which is topologically analogous to the bipolar configuration utilised in High‐Voltage Direct Current power transmission systems. DC cable length and copper usage are reduced by 50% using a bipolar configuration.

Ultralow‐Backscattering Induced Mode Splitting in Chipscale Valley Photonic Topological Cavities

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
The proposed in‐situ metrology based on mode splitting quantifies the ultralow backscattering of topological valley edge states at a single sharp corner, demonstrating near‐lossless topological transport (0.09 dB/corner) on a silicon chip. This work provides insight into the robustness of the photonic valley system and shows the great potential of ...

A Comprehensive Multistage Average Controller for Trajectory Tracking in Solar‐Powered Mobile Robots: Analysis of Actuator‐Driver and Power Stage Integration

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work addresses the challenge of bidirectional trajectory tracking in solar‐powered wheeled mobile robots (WMRs), considering the mechanical structure, actuator‐driver, and power stage subsystems. Notably, this is the first study to explicitly model and control the actuator‐driver subsystem within this context. The proposed solution relies

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...
