In this paper, the efficiency of a sensorless method with square-wave injection for a low-cost inverter, so called B4 inverter is presented. This inverter comprises only 4 switches to reduce system cost. It is distinguished from the conventional B6 inverter that has 6 of switching elements. The B4 inverter, injected a 1 kHz of harmonic wave, has been modelled using the functions and library in Matlab/Simulink. This paper described each component of sensorless algorithm. Among them, the Notch Filter is used to extract the harmonic component of the phase current and a second-order low-pass filter was used to reduce the ripple of the estimated speed. It is shown through simulation that the rotor angle of a permanent magnet synchronous motor is detected by multiplying the current waveform extracted using the notch filter by the harmonic voltage. The feasibility of the proposed method is shown through Simulink simulation.

A dynamo set for a high-power induction motor drive is expensive and needs a long time to manufacture. Therefore, the development of a simulator that functions as the induction motor and load equipment is required. A load simulator of an inverter for a high-power three-phase induction motor consists of a reactor and three-phase PWM inverter. Therefore, it cannot simulate the dynamic characteristics of an induction motor and functions only as a load. In this paper, a real-time simulator is proposed to simulate a model of an induction motor and the load characteristics based on an LCL filter and three-phase PWM rectifier for a three-phase induction motor. The currents of a PWM inverter that simulate the stator currents of the motor are controlled by the inductor currents and capacitor voltages of the LCL filter. The capacitor voltages of the LCL filter simulate the induced voltages in the stator windings by the rotating rotor fluxes of the motor, and the capacitor voltages are controlled by the inductor currents and a PWM rectifier. The rotor currents, the stator and rotor flux linkages, the electromagnetic torque, the slip frequency, and the rotor speed are derived from the inverter currents and the motor parameters. The electrical and mechanical model characteristics and the operation of vector control were verified by MATLAB/Simulink simulation.

GMA용접은 높은 생산성과 자동화 효율로 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 종래의 인버터 용접기는 스패터 발생이 높고 고속용접이 어려운 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 와이어 송급 전후진을 가능하게 하는 장치를 개발하였고 개발된 장치를 H사의 펄스용접기에 장착하여 기계적 제어(와이어 전후진 고속 송급제어)를 통해 저스패터와 고속 용접이 가능한 기계적 전류파형을 개발하였다. 스패터는 단락과 아크발생시에 높은 전류로 인해 발생되기 때문에 기계적 제어를 통하여 Fig. 1에 보는 바와 같이 낮은 전류에서 단락과 아크발생이 일어나 스패터 발생이 줄어들게 되고 기계적 제어를 통해 단락과 아크발생 주기가 일정하게 되어 아크의 안정성 및 고속용접에 유리하게 된다. 개발된 기계적 파형을 이용하여 가장 스패터 발생이 많은 재료인 스틸과 $CO_2$를 보호가스로 하여 용접전류와 용접 속도를 변화시키며 실험한 결과 저스패터 및 1.5m/min이상의 용접 속도에서 안정된 비드를 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper deals with a method to minimize the welding time for an AC spot welding system. The spot welding system using a conventional SCR type circuit has a disadvantage of slow control speed and no precise current control. Therefore, recently, the using of inverter type welding system is increasing. Conventional welding machine adopts several tens of switching devices connected in parallel to obtain a huge current of several thousands ampere with a short welding time. This paper analyzed a welding system consisting with 4 IGBT switches for a full-bridge inverter and conventional 60 [Hz] transformer. The simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed method.

In this paper the problems associated with the switching surge of PWM inverter devices were analysed. As the application of ASD for efficient speed control of AC rmtors is increased, so is the rrntor and ASD-related failure increased. In the industrial rmtor awlications, the introduction of PWM drives can sometmes cause insulation breakdown between the phase windings due to high transient voltage peak. The motor cable length combined with the high switching frequency becomes more sensitive issue for proper drive operation. Effects of the cable length and high switching frequency influence both on rmtor and inverter. When the insulation level of rmtor winding is low, the failure probability caused by high peak voltage and fast voltage rise times(dv/dt) is high. Voltage refloctions are simulated far rmtor capacities, ASD and rise times and are presented graphically. The filtering techniques are discussed to reduce the rmtor terminal overvoltage and dv/dt in inverter fed AC rrntor drive systems. We confirmed that the lower motar capacity and rmtar insulation level, the shorter switching time and cable length and the higrer the probability of insulation breakdown .kdown .

Switched reluctance motor(SRM) has the advantages of simple structure, low rotor inertia and high efficiency. However, position sensor is essential in SRM in order to synchronize the phase excitation to the rotor Position. The Position sensors increase the cost of drive system and tend to reduce system reliability.

The proposed system consists of Position decision circuit, speed controller, digital logic commutator, switching angle controller and inverter The performances in the proposed system are verified through the experiment.

본 논문에서는 가동물체형 AFPM 파력 발전기용 시뮬레이터 구현 및 실험을 수행하였다. 파력 발전기는 파도의 에너지를 이용하여 부이의 움직임에 따라 발전하는 방식이다. 기존의 소형 파력 발전 시스템의 경우 단순히 전파 정류하여 축전지에 충전하는 방식을 사용한다. 그러나 전파 정류기를 사용하는 경우 파도에 속도에 따른 최적의 발전량을 제어하지 못해 발전 효율이 떨어지는 단점이 있지만, 인버터를 사용하는 경우 속도에 따른 발전량을 순시 적으로 제어할 수 있어 발전 효율을 높일 수 있다. AFPM 파력 발전기의 제어를 위하여 전류제어기와 센서리스 알고리즘을 구성하였으며 구현된 제어기는 파력 발전 시뮬레이터 실험을 통하여 회전자 위치 추정 및 속도에 따른 제어 성능을 확인하였다.
