Average current-mode control, as shown in Figure 1, is common in continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) power factor correction (PFC). It has two loops: a voltage loop that works as an outer loop and a ...

Abstract: This brief focuses on developing a hybrid fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller enhanced with fuzzy logic to regulate the output voltage of a DC-DC Buck converter. The FOPID controller ...

This year I am helping us laugh and possibly learn by making one of my humorous books available to download for free in this year’s first six columns. The fourth book is Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am.

You’ll learn about instrumentation and valves. The article identifies the importance of positioners in fast loops. How first-principle dynamic simulations provide insights into compressor surge, ...

Abstract: The control of pneumatic soft robotics is challenging due to nonlinearites arising from many factors including pneumatic system components and material properties of the soft actuator.

In this hands-on course, you'll learn the basic terminology and building blocks of process control, as well as advanced process control techniques, using our control solutions. Learn how to evaluate ...

Many PID control loops are still operated manually. CEE looks at an auto tune solution which offers the benefit of having a clear view of the information on a large-screen HMI. The three-term local ...
