Three-level diode clamped multilevel inverter, generally known as neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter, has an inherent problem causing neutral point (NP) potential variation. Until now, the NP potential problem of variation has been investigated and lots of solutions have also been proposed. This paper presents a neutral point voltage control technology using the anti-windup PI controller and offset technology of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to control the variation of NPC 3-phase three-level inverter neutral point voltage. And the proposed algorithm is tested and verified using a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) in order to synchronize the phase voltage from the line voltage of grid. It significantly improves the voltage balancing under a solar fluctuation conditions of the inverter. Experimental results show the good performance and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Let $Lu=u_{tt}+u_{xxxx}$ and E be the complete normed space spanned by the eigenfunctions of L. We reveal the existence of six nontrivial solutions of a nonlinear suspension bridge equation $Lu+bu^+=1+{\epsilon}h(x,t)$ in E when the nonlinearity crosses three eigenvalues. It is shown by the critical point theory induced from the limit relative category of the torus with three holes and finite dimensional reduction method.

In this paper, a novel neutral-point voltage balancing scheme for NPC three-level inverters using carrier-based sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) method is developed. The new modulation approach, based on the obtained expressions of zero sequence voltage in all six sectors, can significantly suppress the low-frequency voltage oscillation in the neutral point at high modulation index and achieve a fast voltage-balancing dynamic performance. The implementation of the proposed method is very simple. Another attractive feature is that the scheme can stably control any voltage difference between the two dc-link capacitors within a certain range without using any extra hardware. Furthermore, the presented scheme is also applicable to the single-phase NPC three-level inverter. It can maintain the neutral-point voltage balance at full modulation index and improve the voltage-balancing dynamic performance of the single-phase NPC three-level inverter. The performance of the proposed strategy and its benefits over other previous techniques are verified experimentally.

Localization of sensor nodes is a key technology in Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs). Trilateration is an important position determination strategy. To further improve the localization accuracy, a novel Trilateration based on Point In Triangle testing Localization (TPITL)algorithm is proposed in the paper. Unlike the traditional trilateration localization algorithm which randomly selects three neighbor anchors, the proposed TPITL algorithm selects three special neighbor anchors of the unknown node for trilateration. The three anchors construct the smallest anchor triangle which encloses the unknown node. To choose the optimized anchors, we propose Point In Triangle testing based on Distance(PITD) method, which applies the estimated distances for trilateration to reduce the PIT testing errors. Simulation results show that the PIT testing errors of PITD are much lower than Approximation PIT(APIT) method and the proposed TPITL algorithm significantly improves the localization accuracy.

Multidimensional integrals are expressed in terms of lower dimensional integrals and function evaluations. An iterative process is used where a trapezoidal and three point identities are used as generators for higher dimensional identities. Bounds are obtained utilising the resulting identities. It is demonstrated that earlier Ostrowski type results are obtained as particular instances of the current work.

For the high power variable speed applications, the DCTLI(diode clamped three-level inverter) have been widely used. This paper describes the analysis of the neutral point current of the DCTLI and the improved space vector-based PWM strategy considering the switching frequency of power devices, that minimizes the fluctuation of the neutral point current in spite of high modulation index region and low power factor. It contributes to decrease the capacitance of dc-link capacitor bank and to increase the neutral point voltage controllable region. Especially, even if second (or even) order harmonic is induced in load current (at this situation, is was investigated that the general control method can not suppress the neutral point voltage variation), this PWM can provide effective control method to suppress the neutral point voltage variation. Various simulation results by means of Matlab/Simulation are presented to verify the proposed PWM.

This paper proposes a simple compensation method for switches of the unclamped voltage in the three-level NPC inverter. Voltages of inner-switches can be unclamped in the three-level NPC (neutral point clamped) inverter. It can cause the problem of the switch fault accident. By adding a capacitor, switches of the unclamped voltage can be clamped. Through the analysis of the circuit, the reason behind switches being unclamped was verified which leads to the solution method that designs a compensation capacitor. The proposed method was validated through the simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents the measurement process of the rotational accuracy and the comparison with the theoretical results in the main bearing of scroll compressor. The main bearing is cylindrical oil proceeding bearing, but there are straightly cut used for oil supply. Therefore the roundness error is not a negligible quantity compared with the rotational accuracy. For this reason, three-point method is used in the experiment. The result of three-point method coincides with the theoretical value. So if the theory in this paper is used to the bearing design of scroll compressor, the efforts for testing and designing can be reduced.

In this paper, we present a local convergence analysis of a three point method with convergence order $1.839{\ldots}$ for approximating a locally unique solution of a nonlinear operator equation in setting of Banach spaces. Using weaker hypotheses than in earlier studies, we obtain: larger radius of convergence and more precise error estimates on the distances involved. Finally, numerical examples are used to show the advantages of the main results over earlier results.

This paper investigates the optimal locations of internal point supports in a symmetric crossply laminated rectangular plate for maximum fundamental frequency of vibration. The method used for solving this optimization problem involves the Rayleigh-Ritz method for the vibration analysis and the simplex method of Nelder and Mead for the iterative search of the optimum support locations. Being a continuum method, the Rayleigh-Ritz method allows easy handling of the changing point support locations during the optimization search. Rectangular plates of various boundary conditions, aspect ratios, composed of different numbers of layers, and with one, two and three internal point supports are analysed. The interesting results on the optimal locations of the point supports showed that (a) there are multiple solutions; (b) the locations are dependent on both the plate aspect ratios and the number of layers (c) the fundamental frequency may be raised significantly with appropriate positioning of the point supports.
