Due to the non-linear relation between current and voltage of the PV modules, DC/DC power electronic converters are used to adapt this non-linearity. Controllers are used to control the DC/DC converters in order that, they can take actions against changes in irradiance input levels, temperature input levels and load values. In this study, a standalone PV system that feeds a DC load is simulated

This paper proposes the realization of grounded and floating fractional order mem-elements (FOMEs) based on two- and three-port mutators, respectively. Three different topologies based on two-port mutators are implemented using the four members of the second-generation current conveyor (CCII) family which is useful to achieve several realizations for the same circuit. The Fractional Order Mem

This paper proposes a general prototype fractional order filter based on a two-port network concept with four external impedances. Three induced classifications from the general prototype are extracted with one, two and three external impedances, achieving ten possible generalized topologies. The external impedances are fractional-order elements and resistors. There are forty-six filters divided

Exploring the implementation of fractional calculus is essential to be adequately used in several applications. This paper introduces an FPGA design methodology of fractional order multi-scrolls chaotic system. Hardware resources comparison proves the efficiency of the proposed method. The designs are simulated using Xilinx ISE 14.7 and realized on FPGA Xilinx Artix 7. Different interesting

This paper studies a new fractional-order form for the active low-pass filter. The form was mainly generated from generalizing an active second-order low-pass filter with three capacitors to the fractional-order domain with three independent orders. The transfer function introduced an extra term in the denominator comprising the third fractional order. The effect of the third fractional-order

Bio-impedance measurement has been used as an indicator for specific physical and chemical changes in food products, fruits and vegetables, cancer detection and other applications. In this paper, a portable wireless bio-impedance measurement embedded system, based on the AD5933 chip, is introduced. The system is calibrated using a parallel RC network and the industry standard electrochemical

Solar energy turns into a promising supply of electricity, so structures of Photo-voltaic (PV) regularly use a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) way to deliver the highest probable power to the load continuously. This paper presents the methodology of PI controller tuning of PV employing Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The aim is to obtain the maximum power and maintain its value using the PI

In this paper, a CMOS wide-band low-power second-order voltage-mode allpass filter design is proposed as a true time delay element. The proposed allpass filter core design consists of a single transistor, three resistors, one capacitor and one inductor. As a time delay element, the proposed circuit exhibits a group delay of 34 ps within a bandwidth of 8 GHz while consuming only 926 μW from a 1-V

In this short communication we analyze the impact of signal harmonics on the formation of the pinched hysteresis loop using a commercial memristor device. We show that by using only the fundamental frequency and the second harmonic components, extracted from the measured electrical current signal, a distortion-less pinched hysteresis loop is re-created. This loop is then used to simulate memristor

Here, the authors show that an asymmetric cross-coupled oscillator can be used to achieve independent-phase tunable outputs. In particular, a third-order cross-coupled oscillator, with non-balanced loads, is studied and expressions for its start-up condition, oscillation frequency, phase-shift between its two outputs as well as their amplitude ratio are derived. From these expressions, it is found
