Assessment of State-of-Charge Estimation Method for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Assessment of State-of-Charge Estimation Method for Lithium-Ion Batteries

In this paper, a numerical model of lithium-ion batteries is developed and deployed to a Speedgoat Baseline target machine. The estimation method for the state-of-charge (SOC), based on a nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous input (NARX) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) that are correctly trained with multiple datasets, is designed, and experimentally validated by hardware-in-the-loop simulation.

Independent Generation of Sequence Elements by Motor Cortex

Independent Generation of Sequence Elements by Motor Cortex

Rapid execution of motor sequences depends on fusing movement elements into cohesive units that are executed holistically. The contribution of the primary motor and dorsal premotor cortex to this ability is determined in this paper. Also, the hypothesis that movement elements fuse makes specific predictions regarding three forms of activity, preparation, initiation, and execution is investigated.

Systematic Design of Multivariable Fuel Injection Controllers for Advanced Diesel Combustion

With multiple fuel injections per combustion cycle, the advanced diesel combustion process depends on all injection pulses in a coupled way. This work describes the cycle-to-cycle fuel injection control problem. A control-oriented model is introduced and locally validated with experimental data. Finally, a systematic design approach is proposed to synthesize a multivariable fuel injection controller.
