A 3-phase Z-source inverter driven by a novel hybrid switching algorithm by Malengret, Jean-Claude

“…A novel DSP control algorithm allows the inverter toachieve the following:· Run Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SV-PWM) for maximum DCbus voltage utilization while boosting the DC bus during zero space vectorstates using shoot through.· Seamless transition between modulation control and modulation / shootthrough control.· Optimised efficiency and DC bus utilisation using Hybrid Space VectorBoost Pulse Width Modulation (HSVB PWM) which is unique to thisdissertation.Such a system is particularly suited to fuel cell and particularly wind turbineapplications where the DC bus voltage is varies over a wide range resulting inthe need for a DC to DC buck/boost to regulate the DC bus to maintain a steady3-phase sinusoidal output. …”

The optimal placement of phasor measurement units and their effects on state estimation by Yuill, William

“…The two main objectives of this work are to investigate and develop 1. a method for the algorithmic placement of a minimum number of PMUs into a system to ensure full observability, 2. conventional, hybrid and linear state estimation techniques to incorporate and utilize PMU measurement data to perform state estimation and to study the effects that differing PMU placement positions have on the accuracy of the resultant state estimator solution.…”

The optimal asset allocation for South African real return investors by Van Zyl, Barry

“…These blocks of data are resampled in order to simulate the distributions of returns of portfolios with their own unique empirical distribution. The optimal portfolios are derived using a genetic algorithm, showcasing how these extremely versatile optimisation tools can be used in combination with resampling methods to find the optimal portfolio for virtually any criterion. …”
