EXPERIENCES

Research Experiences
Wind Power Generation System with Asynchronous Dynamo, Tianjin University, 2006-2007
◆Sponsored by Tianjin Natural Science Foundation Committee
◆ Dynamo: squirrel-cage induction machine operating in regeneration mode
◆ Regulation of the operating point and torque-speed characteristics is based on Converter control
◆ Control based on grid-connected wind power generation system

High-accuracy algorithm and NN based management of harmonic, Tianjin University, 2005-2006
◆ Interpolating Windowed FFT Algorithm for computation of fundamental frequency
◆ HNN Optimum Algorithm based detection of harmonic current

New DC-DC Converter based on Novel Control Strategy, Tianjin University, 2005-2006
◆ Configuration: consisting of main converter and auxiliary converter connected in parallel
◆ Control method: the fuzzy control with better robustness and real-time

NN based control of Power Active Filter, Tianjin University, 2004-2005
◆ Sponsored by National “985” Plan Foundation
◆ Configuration: removing the requirement for a large current or voltage source that leads to the reduction in cost and in physical size.
◆ Control method: combining the neural network and hysteresis control

Direct Torque Control system, Tianjin University 2004-2005
◆ Sponsored by Tianjin Natural Science Foundation Committee
◆ Instead of speed sensor, neural network is used to identify the speed
◆ Requiring too much offline training is a limitation of this system

Analysis and design of adaptive system, Tianjin University of Technology, 2003-2004
◆ Artificial Neural Network based adaptive contro
