The importance of "decoupling" to maintain economic growth and reduce greenhouse gases is emerging as the world has been mandated to reduce greenhouse gases since the 2015 Paris Agreement. This study covered 63 countries from 1980 to 2014 and analyzed the main characteristics and causes of decoupling phenomenon between economic growth and carbon emissions. In this study, the degree of decoupling was measured every five years. The analysis found that the decoupling rate of OECD countries and countries with large incomes was high, and that the decoupling phenomenon has accelerated worldwide since the 2000s. However, the degree of decoupling was different depending on the national characteristics. According to the results of dynamic panel model, the growth rate of manufacturing and the proportion of exports hampered decoupling, while the proportion of human capital and renewable energy had a positive effect on decoupling. Also income had a inverse U-shape non-linear effect on decoupling.

This study proposes analytical methods to establish the eigenfunction of continuous system due to substructuring and decoupling of discrete subsystems. The dynamic characteristics of updated continuous system are evaluated by the constraint effect of consistent deformation at the interfaces between two systems. Beginning with the dynamic equation for constrained discrete system, this work estimates the modal eigenmode function for the continuous system due to the addition or deletion of discrete systems. Numerical applications illustrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method.

A complete current loop decoupling control strategy based on a sliding mode observer (SMO) is proposed to eliminate the influence of current dynamic coupling and back electromotive force (EMF) in the vector control of permanent magnet synchronous motors. With this strategy, current dynamic decoupling and back EMF compensation can be simultaneously achieved. Unlike conventional methods, the proposed strategy can avoid the disturbances caused by the parametric variations of motor systems and maintain the advantages of proportional integral (PI) controllers, which are robust and easy to operate. An improved SMO, which uses a special PI regulator other than a linear saturation function as the equivalent control law in the boundary layer of a sliding surface, is proposed to eliminate the estimated errors caused by the quasi-sliding mode and obtain a satisfactory decoupling performance. The stability and parameter robustness of the proposed strategy are also analyzed. Physical experimental results are presented to verify the validity of the method.

This paper proposes a improved decoupling current control algorithms using a compensator to enhance the robustness to the stator inductance error. And the compensator composed from a d-axis current error for sensing change of the real stator inductance can match the estated stator inductance to the real stator inductance. A great advantage of this algorithms is more robust than feedforward decoupling current control or dynamic decoupling control. So it looks suitable to the practical applications where the exact parameters are unknown. Though simulation and experimental results with 1[kW] prototype PMSM and TMS320F2812 board for motor control, we show that the proposed controller achieves the desired performance.

This paper presents a new control scheme for decoupling the dynamics of two coordinating robot manipulators. A simple full-state feedback scheme with configuration dependent gains can be devised to decouple the system dynamics such that the dynamics of each arm and that of an object held by the two arms is independent of one another. A condition for stability is shown. The advantage of the proposed scheme is that the same control scheme can be applied both for the closed kinematic chain(object-grasping) case and open kinematic chain(no object-grasping) case.

This paper presents a discrete state-space controller using state feedback control and feed-forward decoupling to provide a desirable control bandwidth and control stability for dynamic voltage restorers (DVR). The paper initially discusses three typical applications of a DVR. The load-side capacitor DVR topology is preferred because of its better filtering capability. The proposed DVR controller offers almost full controllability because of the multi-feedback of state variables, including one-beat delay feedback. Feed-forward decoupling is usually employed to prevent disturbances of the load current and source voltage. Directly obtaining the feed-forward paths of the load current and source voltage in the discrete domain is a complicated process. Fortunately, the full feed-forward decoupling strategy can be easily applied to the discrete state-space controller by means of continuous transformation. Simulation and experimental results from a digital signal processor-based system are included to support theoretical analysis.

This paper presents a novel power decoupling control scheme with the bidirectional buck-boost converter for primary-side regulation photovoltaic (PV) micro-inverter. With the proposed power decoupling control scheme, small-capacitance film capacitors are used to overcome the life-span and reliability limitations of the large-capacitance electrolytic capacitors. Then, an improved flyback PV inverter is employed in continuous conduction mode with primary-side regulation for the PV power conditioning. The proposed power-decoupling controller shares the reference for primary side current regulation of the flyback PV inverter. The decoupling controller shapes the input current of the bidirectional buck-boost converter. The shared reference eliminates the phase-delay between the input current to the bidirectional buck-boost converter and the double frequency current at the PV primary current. The elimination of the phase-delay in dynamic response enhances the ripple rejection capability of the power decoupling buck-boost converter even with small film capacitor. With proposed power decoupling control scheme, the additional advantage of the primary-side regulation of flyback PV inverter is that there is no need to have an extra current sensor for obtaining the ripplecurrent reference of the decoupling current-controller of the power-decoupling buck-boost converter. Therefore, the proposed power decoupling control scheme is cost-effective as well as the size benefit. A new transient analysis is carried out which includes the source voltage dynamics instead of considering the source voltage as a pure voltage source. For verification of the proposed control scheme, simulation and experimental results are presented.

This paper proposes a new control strategy for the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). It is based on a synchronous PI decoupling control strategy which features fast response time and low steady state error. Therefore, the proposed control strategy produces faster action time against voltage sag and guarantees more than enough compensation for reduced supply voltage. Experimental results, implemented with the TMS320C3${\times}$DSP control unit, are shown to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

This paper proposed a novel double closed control strategy for single-phase voltage source pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier based on active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) and dq current decoupling control. First, the mathematical model of the single-phase PWM rectifier in the d-q axis synchronous rotating reference frame is established by constructing a virtual component using a second-order generalized integrator (SOGI). Then, the mathematical model is simplified according to the active power conservation, and the first-order equation of single-phase PWM rectifier voltage outer loop is acquired. A linear auto-disturbance rejection controller is used to design the voltage outer loop according to the first-order equation. Finally, the proposed control strategy and the traditional PI control are compared and verified by simulation and physical experiments. Both simulation and experimental results confirm that the proposed control strategy has excellent dynamic performance and strong rejection ability to disturbances.

Comparative analyses of a shield building subjected to a large commercial aircraft impact between decoupling method and coupling method are performed in this paper. The decoupling method is applying impact force time-history curves on impact area of the shield building to study impact damage effects on structure. The coupling method is using a model including aircraft and shield building to perform simulation of the entire impact process. Impact force time-history curves of the fuselage, wing and engine and their total impact force time-history curve are obtained by the entire aircraft normally impacting the rigid wall. Taking aircraft structure and impact progress into account some loading areas are determined to perform some comparative analyses between decoupling method and coupling method, the calculation results including displacement, plastic strain of concrete and stress of steel plate in impact area are given. If the loading area is determined unreasonably, it will be difficult to assess impact damage of impact area even though the accurate impact force of each part of aircraft obtained already. The coupling method presented at last in this paper can more reasonably evaluate the dynamic response of the shield building than the decoupling methods used in the current nuclear engineering design.
