Abstract: A system for controlling a turbine valve is provided. The system includes a hydraulic pilot valve section being moveable in a first direction and a second direction; a main hydraulic valve section being moveable in a first direction to close the turbine valve and a second direction to open the turbine valve; a position demand indicating a desired position of the turbine valve; a first feedback indicating an actual position of the hydraulic pilot valve section; and aa second feedback indicating an actual position of the main hydraulic valve section. The system also includes a pilot valve error; a main valve error; a turbine valve error; and a pilot valve adjustment moving the hydraulic pilot valve section in response to the turbine valve error. The turbine valve error is repeatedly determined and the pilot valve adjustment repeatedly moves the hydraulic pilot valve section to minimize the turbine valve error.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electrical converter system is provided herein. The method includes determining a switching signal and a reference trajectory of at least one electrical quantity of the electrical converter system over a horizon of future sampling instants; generating a sequence of averaged switch positions from the switching signal over the horizon; determining a sequence of optimized averaged switch positions with optimized averaged switch positions by optimizing a cost function based on the sequence of averaged switch positions; determining an optimized switching signal for the current sampling interval by moving switching transitions in the switching signal, such that the average of the switching signal with the modified switching transitions equals the optimized averaged switch position; and applying at least the next switching transition of the optimized switching signal for the current sampling interval to the electrical converter system.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer readable media for determining a position of a tracking device. The tracking device includes a vision sensor and an inertial sensor. A first position of the tracking device in relative to a reference marker is obtained based on an image of the reference marker that is collected by the vison sensor. A second position of the tracking device in relative to the first position is obtained by the inertial sensor after a movement of the tracking device. A position of the tracking device in relative to the reference marker is determined based on the first and second positions.

Abstract: An electrical enclosure includes a main cabinet and a modular cabinet removably secured to the main cabinet. The main cabinet includes a bus compartment that includes a busbar assembly, and the bus compartment is located between an end wall of the main cabinet and a partition opposite the end wall. The modular cabinet is comprised of interlocking compartment modules. Each compartment module interlocks with an adjacent compartment module. Each compartment module includes first and second side panels. Each side panel includes an alignment member that engages an alignment member of a respective side panel of the adjacent compartment module. Each compartment module also includes a base that extends between the first and second side panels and a terminal wall that joins the first and second side panels. The terminal walls of the interlocking compartment modules engage to form a structural wall of the modular cabinet.

Abstract: A cable tray of the ladder type configuration can be fabricated from soft solid curable polymer strips comprised of a thermosetting material. The curable polymer strips in a pliable state may be wound into strip rolls for storage and transportation to the installation site. At the installation site, the soft solid curable polymer strips can be deployed, molded into pliable formed rail sections, and transversely connected together by a plurality of rungs. The curing process can be completed by, for example, exposing the thermosetting material to a ultraviolet or visible light source to produce hardened rail sections of the ladder type cable tray.
