HERMES, a graphical user interface software tool, is presented, for pre-processing X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data from laboratory Rowland circle spectrometers, to meet the data handling needs of a growing community of practice. HERMES enables laboratory XAS data to be displayed for quality assessment, merging of data sets, polynomial fitting of smoothly varying data, and correction of data to the true energy scale and for dead-time and leakage effects. The software is written in Java 15 programming language, and runs on major computer operating systems, with graphics implementation using the JFreeChart toolkit. HERMES is freely available and distributed under an open source licence.

Abstract We present the design of the first prototype of MIRA (MIcro-channel plate Readout ASIC) that has been designed to read out Micro-Channel Plates (MCP), in particular for UV spectroscopy. MIRA will be able to detect the cloud of electrons generated by each photon interacting with the MCP, sustaining high local and global count rates to fully exploit the MCP intrinsic dynamic range with low dead time. The main rationale that guided the electronics design is the reduction of the input Equivalent Noise Charge (ENC) in order to allow operations with lower MCP gain, thus improving its lifetime, crucial aspect for long missions in space. MIRA features two selectable analog processing times, 133 ns or 280 ns (i.e. fast mode or slow mode), granting a count rate per pixel of 100 kcps. Moreover, it shows an Equivalent Noise Charge ENC = 17 e r m s − . A spatial resolution of 35 μm and an operation with zero dead time, due to the readout, are targeted. The low noise, high count rate and high spatial resolution requirements are expected by keeping a compact pixel size (35 μm × 35 μm) for a total of 32 × 32 pixels in a 2 mm × 2 mm ASIC area. In this work, the ASIC design is described.

Grid-tied inverter is the prominent component of the three-phase dual-stage photovoltaic (PV) grid-tied power generation system. However, the disturbances caused by dead time effect will pose the reduction of grid-tied current quality and even cause the imbalance of inverter itself or other circuit devices. In this paper, a current control strategy is proposed to damp dead time effect for the three-phase dual-stage PV grid-tied inverter system, and its design, stability analysis, and implementation are carried out. First, the inverter model is modified by regarding the dq reference frame coupling terms, uncertainties, and external and internal disturbances as an unknown lumped disturbance. Then, a current control scheme based on compensation of equivalent input disturbance is introduced, and it estimates and compensates the unknown lumped disturbance, which effectively realizes the inverter model decoupling and comprehensive disturbance rejection. Last, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed current controller.
