In this paper, the problem of voltage unbalancing in series-connected multiple electric double-layer capacitors(EDLCs) is studied. Good understanding of this problem is required in order to increase reliability and stability of an energy storage system comprising EDLCs. Existing methods to settle voltage unbalancing cannot mitigate the problem enough for each cell, since most method have been applied to each module. For equalizing between cells, Zener diode which is one of passive method have been well examined in literature. However, Zener have well not used in balancing due to heating problem. In addition, It is difficult to choose Zener diode fitted rating voltage of EDLC, because of its internal resistance. Thus, we proposed passive balancing using Zener diode by analyzing parasitic element of Zener and EDLC. To experimentally confirm the balancing effect, we compared in two occasions which are with and without passive. As a result, proposed passive balancing circuit mitigated unbalanced voltage gap between EDLCs.

Adequate ventilation with the proper amount of air to the right place is important factor to achieve a good Indoor air climate. Thus it is of prime importance that the ventilation system is working properly. This requires reliable pressure loss calculation to balance the air flow through duct systems. So a computer program for balancing CAV duct system is developed In this study. The results of CAV duct system is compared with the "Balans" code developed by Larsen from Norway. To obtain the pressure drop characteristics of damper at duct terminal, some experiments are performed using DPM(Dual Pressure Measurement) system. To adjust the resistance of damper, present study suggests that some special diffusers should be designed and damper producers should give the data of air flow vs. pressure drop to the customs when they manufacture the damper. One of the results concludes that the working time can be reduced from several minutes to several seconds per damper in the present experimental site, if the DPM system and the air volume adjusting process are used.

This paper proposes an adaptive robust control method for an acrobot system in the presence of input disturbance. The acrobot system is a typical example of the underactuated system with complex nonlinearity and strong dynamic coupling. Also, disturbance can cause limit cycle phenomenon which appears in the acrobot system around the desired unstable equilibrium point. To minimize the effect of the disturbance, we apply a fuzzy disturbance estimation method for the swing-up and balancing control of the acrobot system. In this paper, both disturbance observer and controller for the acrobot system are designed and verified through mathematical proof and simulations.

This paper presents experimental studies on controlling one-wheel robot, GYROBO. The previous one has the problem of falling down because the inside gimbal leans against one direction to make it balancing. This structural problem has been solved by redesigning the system. Gains obtained through experimental tasks are used as a gain scheduling method so that GYROBO is more stabilized. A line trajectory following control task is performed to test the driving control as well.

Wireless sensor networks is composed of many similar sensor nodes with limited resources. They are randomly scattered over a specific area and self-organize the network. For guarantee of network life time, load balancing and scalability in sensor networks, sensor networks needs the clustering algorithm which distribute the networks to a local cluster. In existing clustering algorithms, the cluster head selection method has two problems. One is additional communication cost for finding location and energy of nodes. Another is unequal clustering. To solve them, this paper proposes a novel cluster head selection algorithm revised previous clustering algorithm, LEACH. The simulation results show that the energy compared with the previous clustering method is reduced.

This paper presents implementation and control of a two wheeled mobile robot system which consists of two systems, an inverted pendulum system and a mobile robot system. Control purpose is to regulate its balancing and navigation. The balancing robot has advantages of one point turning and robust balancing against disturbances from the ground. Simulation studies of local and global control methods are performed. Since the robot is implemented to have a symmetrical structure, simple linear control algorithms are used for balancing and navigation. Low cost sensors such as gyro and tilt sensor are fused together to detect the inclined angle. Experimental studies of following desired circular trajectory are conducted.

In this study rotordynamic characteristics of an air turbo-compressor (ATC) used in oxygen plant are analyzed and its operating-speed balancing is performed to solve the vibration trouble caused by rotor unbalance. Three dimensional model of the ATC rotor is completed and then analytical FE (finite element) model, which is verified by experimental modal testing, is developed. A rotordynamic analysis includes the critical map, Campbell diagram, and unbalance response, especially considering the pedestal housings supporting tilting pad bearings. A test run of operating-speed, using tilting-pad bearing of actual use, showed that the vibration level increased very sharply as approaching the rated speed. The operating-speed balancing specified by API 684 was carried out by using influence coefficient method. The results showed that the vibrations at the bearing pedestal housings represented good levels of 0.1 mm/s. From the test run and operating-speed balancing, the analytical results, that is, critical speeds are in good agreement with the test results and unbalance responses introducing the correction masses are similar to the as-is test responses in its aspect.

각종 산업 플랜트엣 입형펌프의 공진문제는 다른 기계에 비해 자주 발생한다. 이는 입형펌프가 구조 특성상 대개 지반에 비해 기초강성이 낮은 콘크리이트 슬래브(slab)위에 설치되는 경우가 많고, 외팔보 형태의 펌프 위에 무거운 전동기가 설치되어 무게 중심이 횡형펌프에 비해 높게 되기 때문에 대형 입형펌프 구조물의 고유진동수는 낮게 된다. 그리고, 일반 대형펌프의 회전주파수도 저속임에 따라 축계의 불평형가진력에 의한 공진문제가 빈번하게 발생된다. 대형 입형펌프가 설비가동에 있어서 최중요 기계(critical machine)인 경우가 대부분이므로 높은 진동을 유발시키는 공진은 공장 설비운전의 안정성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 입형펌프의 전동기가 아무리 밸런싱 상태가 좋고, 설치상태가 펌프 전동기제작사의 설치조건을 만족한다 하더라도 전도이가 펌프위에 설치되어 운전될 경우 공진이 발생하게 되면 과도한 진동이 일어나게 된다. 이때 전동기에 부하가 걸리지 않는 전동기 단독운전 상태에서도 높은 진동이 나타나기 때문에 운전자는 흔히 전동기자체의 문제로 판정하곤 한다. 이같은 현상은 보통 진동원인이 전동기에 있지 않고 펌프의 전동기대(motor stool)와 전동기 시스템의 리드 공진(reed resonance)에 의한 결과이다. 본 논문에서는 입형 펌프에서 리드공진의 확인방법과 대책작업에 대해 실제 사례를 통하여 논한다.

In designing assembly lines, it is required that the lines should not only meet the demand of the product, but also minimize the assembly cost associated with the line. For such a purpose, numerous research efforts have been made on either the assembly sequence generation or the assembly line balancing. However, the works dealing with both the research problems have been seldom reported in literature. When assembly sequences are generated without consideration of line balancing, additional cost may be incurred, because the sequences may not guarantee the minimum number of workstations. Therefore, it is essential to consider line balancing in the generation of cost-effective assembly sequences. To incorporate the two research problems into one, this paper treats a single-model and deterministic (SMD) assembly line balancing (ALB) problem, and proposes a new method for generating line-balanced robotic assembly sequences by using a simulated annealing. In this method, an energy function is derived in consideration of the satisfaction of assembly constraints, and the minimization of both the assembly cost and the idle time. Then, the energy function is iteratively minimized and occasionally perturbed by the simulated annealing. When no further change in energy occurs, an assembly sequence with consideration of line balancing is finally found. To show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, a case study for an electrical relay is presented.

Conventional two-wheeled balancing robots are limited in terms of turning speed because they lack the lateral motion to compensate for the centrifugal force needed to stop rollover. In order to improve lateral stability, this paper suggests a two-wheeled balancing mobile platform equipped with a tilting mechanism to generate roll motions. In terms of static force analysis, it is shown that the two-body sliding type tilting method is more suitable for small-size mobile robots than the single-body type. For the mathematical modeling, the tilting-balancing platform is assumed as a 3D inverted pendulum and the four-degrees-of-freedom equation of motion is derived. In the velocity/posture control loop, the desired tilting angle is naturally determined according to the changes of forward velocity and steering yaw rate. The efficiency of the developed tilting type balancing mobile platform is validated through experimental results.
