    Control System Design for Boost Converter

    Hi guys, I have this problem for my undergrad final year project. I'm trying to design a control system to regulate the voltage output for a boost converter and I am not too familliar with control theory. I've built the control system in MATLAB based on the basic boost equation...

    DC to AC Inverter Design Difficulty

    Hey Guys, I'm having trouble designing an inverter to power an ac motor using a fuel cell with MATLAB. With the inverter, the output current of the DC converter dips below 0 and the fuel cell does not like that at all because it causes a 'ln of -ve number' error. I have tried placing an...

    Voltage Drops across Resistive Elements

    Try to imagine a wire as a river and let's assume water represents current, resistance can be represented as dam and the speed of the water; voltage Imagine this scenario: a river has water flowing thru it and just so happens there is a point where a family of beavers has built a dam. The...

    In my humble opinion, computers have yet reached the level of intelligence as humans because so far only humans (and perhaps animals) have the ability to be curious. We wonder why the sky is blue, why it hurts when we fall, etc. While current computers can learn it cannot wonder. By the way...
