In his Tech Trends column, Chief Technologist Ahmad Bahai explains emerging technology trends that will change our world and the key innovations needed to make them a reality.

 The electrification tide is rising. Electronics are permeating every aspect of our lives. Everything around us is getting more intelligent, more connected – and therefore replete with semiconductor content.

Big data is getting bigger, personal electronics are getting more personable, and smart machines are getting, well, smarter.

In 2017, I see the following technology trends helping to steer the course of innovation. Some of these trends are carryovers from the prior year, but continue to be pervasive and increasingly important in the technology landscape.

1 - High voltage

The growth in high voltage is driven in part by the increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Most major car companies are aggressively developing both EVs and HEVs, and the need for power drivers and charging stations will fuel the growth of high voltage power electronics.

Also, high voltage power will be necessary to power more robust data centers with the development and proliferation of 5G-enabled devices. We’ll talk more about this later –under smart buildings and smart cities. Off-line applications, such as smart and rapid chargers – dependent on high voltage power – are also showing signs of healthy growth.

Traditional power devices continue to experience a healthy growth.  More advanced power devices, such as gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC), show promising opportunities, though only when they become more affordable, by offering higher power density in a smaller footprint.

2 - Semi-autonomous systems

The automotive industry is embracing the latest electronic features at the pace of the consumer market. Even more telling is that the semiconductor content growth within cars continues to outpace automotive market growth since 2010. However, with automotive quality standards demanding higher reliability and longevity, innovation for next generation cars has prompted both new technical challenges and market promises. New complex advanced driver assistance (ADAS) systems will deploy multiple cameras, radar, LIDAR and ultrasound sensors for autonomous driving. Additionally, the EV/HEV market, which has driven innovation in power electronics, shows promising growth but still a small percentage of total market.

Another semi-autonomous system that will see growth this year is robots. Traditionally, robots have been used in industrial applications for some routine and precise applications. Robots are now finding roles in enterprise, education, the consumer market and in assembly lines working alongside people. Advanced control techniques, in conjunction with high performance motor drive and sensors, will be extensively utilized in modern robots.

Drones will also see expansion of professional applications. Their use in security, entertainment and survey services will grow this year. We will see advanced sensor systems and flight time improvements for many critical applications.

3 - Smart buildings and smart cities

Smart buildings and cities are adopting industrial internet technology at a faster pace than the rest of industry 4.0. More commercial and industrial buildings are adopting sensor networks for security, utility monitoring, water and air quality, and more.

Urbanization is accelerating globally. With higher concentrations of people in big cities, we cannot underestimate how critical it is to ensure energy efficiency, improved transportation quality, and better water and utility management. Cities are also deploying intelligent traffic monitoring and control, security systems, and intelligent utility monitoring at a faster pace.

As big data continues to grow, the demand for data – both wired and wireless – is growing exponentially. Video will contribute to about 60 percent of data traffic on networks, and mobile data is doubling every 15 months (Cisco Visual Networking Index: Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update, 2016–2021). The need for processing and moving massive amounts of data around buildings, factory floors, and inside cars or public transportation have pushed many aspects of the technology to its limits. The explosive growth of data in wireless networks has expedited the development of 5G radio infrastructure.

Data centers are also rapidly expanding. The implications of this trend manifest themselves in ultra-high speed interfaces up to 100Gbps, advance power management, and integrated radio units. Data analytics, in many cases real-time, is critical in many applications and has prompted new processor architectures. Machine learning accelerators for embedded processors and GPUs with special hardware features for artificial intelligence are utilized in many new applications.

4 - Personal electronics

The fast pace of personal electronics growth drives the development of innovations with increasing semiconductor content and differentiating features. Many of the personal device innovations will gradually enhance and emerge in automotive and industrial markets as well.

Devices around us are more powerful and omnipresent than before. Therefore, our interaction with machines is more frequent and evolving. While touch has been the dominant human machine interface, more native approaches that leverage speech, vision and gestures are emerging. Voice interface is increasingly more reliable and affordable for many consumer and automotive applications. Virtual and augmented reality started for entertainment and gaming – with dizzying effect – but have been evolving for many professional applications, such as flight simulation. Flexible electronics and display is finding applications in mobile and medical applications.

Keep an eye out for my columns this year – each diving deeper into these trends. We’ll discuss the technical challenges within each and how semiconductors are driving the technologies forward.

在风能领域,准确预测风速对于风电场的运行与管理至关重要。Matlab作为一个强大的数学计算和数据分析平台,被广泛应用于风速预测模型的构建。本文将深入探讨基于四种风速——随机风、基本风、阵风和渐变风的组合风速预测技术。 我们来理解这四种风速类型: 1. **随机风**:随机风是指风速呈现出随机性的变化,通常由大气湍流引起。在建模中,通常通过统计方法如高斯分布或Weibull分布来模拟这种不确定性。 2. **基本风**:基本风速是指在无特定扰动条件下的平均风速,它是长期观测结果的平均值,通常用于结构设计和风能评估。 3. **阵风**:阵风是短时间内风速显著增强的现象,对建筑物和风力发电机造成的主要威胁之一。阵风的预测涉及到风的脉动特性分析。 4. **渐变风**:渐变风是指风速随时间和空间逐渐变化的过程,常见于风向转变或地形影响下的风场变化。 在Matlab中,利用这四种风速类型进行组合预测,可以提高预测的准确性。预测模型可能包括以下几个步骤: 1. **数据收集与预处理**:收集历史风速数据,包括随机风、基本风、阵风和渐变风的数据,进行异常值检测、缺失值填充以及数据标准化。 2. **特征工程**:提取风速变化的相关特征,如平均值、标准差、极值、频率分布等,这些特征可能对预测有重要影响。 3. **模型选择**:可以选择多种预测模型,如时间序列分析(ARIMA、状态空间模型等)、机器学习算法(线性回归、决策树、支持向量机、神经网络等)或深度学习模型(LSTM、GRU等)。 4. **模型训练**:利用历史数据训练选定的模型,调整模型参数以优化性能,例如通过交叉验证来避免过拟合。 5. **模型验证与评估**:使用独立的测试集验证模型预测效果,常见的评估指标有均方误差(MSE)、平均绝对误差(MAE)和决定系数(R²)。 6. **组合预测**:结合四种风速的不同模型预测结果,可以采用加权平均、集成学习(如bagging、boosting)等方式,以提升整体预测精度。 7. **实时更新与动态调整**:实际应用中,模型需要不断接收新的风速数据并进行在线更新,以适应风场环境的变化。 通过以上步骤,可以构建一个综合考虑各种风速特性的预测系统,这对于风电场的功率输出预测、风电设备的维护计划以及电网调度都具有重要价值。然而,需要注意的是,每个风场的地理环境、气候条件和设备状况都有所不同,因此模型的建立应根据实际情况进行定制和优
