This paper proposes a mode transition algorithm between the grid-tied and the stand-alone operations for the single-phase inverter with the energy storage system. For the grid-tied operation, the dc-link voltage and the output current are required to be control. For the stand-alone mode, both the output voltage and the output current should be regulated. In order to mitigate a falling-off in control performance during transients in mode change, the load power estimation and the current selection schemes are proposed. The proposed method allows an optimized current reference is selected to reduce an output voltage drop and an excessive over-current in transient. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, both the simulation and the experiments for a 3kW single-phase inverter with the energy storage system have been conducted. From the results, it has been confirmed that the proposed method reduces a transient error as well as implementing smooth mode transition.

The paper proposes a new type of robust speed control strategy for permanent magnet synchronous motor by using PD-sliding mode hybrid control. The PD control has a good performance in the transient region while the sliding mode controller provides the robustness against system uncertainties. Taking advantages of the two control strategies, the proposed control method utilizes the PD control in the approaching region to the sliding surface and the sliding mode control near at the sliding surfaces. The chattering problem of the sliding mode controller is eliminated by applying the saturation function for the switching function of the sliding mode control. The stability of the sliding mode control is verified by using Lyapunov function with the proper selection of variable gains. It is shown that with this simple switching algorithm, stability of the overall hybrid control system is ensured. Through the simulations, the PD-sliding mode algorithm is shown to have a good performance in the transient response as well as being robust against disturbances. The robustness of the PD-sliding mode algorithm is further demonstrated against various external disturbances in the real experiments of SPMSM motor control.

Recently, Uninterruptible power supply(UPS) is spotlighted from concern about black out, due to reserve power problem caused by increased power consumption. When fault occurs on the grid, UPS system supplies power to loads instead of the grid. Also, it is an advantage of possible operation as Energy storage system(ESS). Bi-directional power control of AC/DC Pulse width modulation(PWM) converter is essential for grid-connected UPS system. And, mode transfer control has to be performed considering phase and dynamic characteristic under grid condition. In this paper, control of mode transfer and bi-directional power control of AC/DC PWM converter is proposed for UPS system. Also, it is verified by simulation and experimental results.

This paper deals with PWM patterns for harmonic reduction in inverter fed traction motors and the gear changing techniques for the variable speed drive of traction motor. GTOs are used as switching device of inverter because traction motor is a large load. To derive PWM rattern which can minimize the harmonics with the limited switching frequency, the output current and torque characteristic of SPWM and SHE PWM was analyzed. GTO inverter used for traction motor drive includes harmonics in the output current and torque by the limitation of switching frequency. However, the hybrid PWM method that adopt SPWM in the range of low frequency and SHE PWM in upper frequency range can achieve less harmonic characteristics in GTO inverters. If the traction motor is driven in variable speed by the proposed PWM pattern, 7 times of gear changing is needed. At the instant of the mode change, magnetic flux and torque may be altered and the large current flow. To reduce such an undesirable transient behavior, it is also presented the technique for the gear changing of inverter fed traction motor drive operated with the hybrid PWM. The results are verified by simulations and experiments.

A simulation procedure was developed for identifying Yungnam unit 2 excitation model parameters to improve the accuracy of stability simulation of KEPCO. First, generator model parameters are derived by using modified load rejection technique from measured load rejection test. For identifying excitation model parameters, switch was changed from MVR mode to AVR mode in Yungnam unit 2 excitation system instead of applying to a small step to the voltage reference($V_{ref}$) because of saving time and efforts, assuming the test result would show coincided result with applying to a small step to the $V_{ref}$. However, it was found that the response of switching from MVR to AVR is greatly different from it of applying small signal to the $V_{ref}$. A simulation procedure was needed to take into accounts of real AVR component status before and after switching from MVR to AVR. This paper reports the procedure which duplicated the measured response and addresses the merits of this test on conventional AVR step test.

This report documents a case of paraplegia which apparently occurred following epidural injection of triamcinolone (40 mg) and 0.125% bupivacaine(10 ml). The patient's condition was progressive until she experienced paraplegia and dissociative sensory loss below T5(Rt) and T10(Lt) dernatomes, along with urinary and fecal incontinence lasting 24 hours. CT and MRI were normal. Three months after the onset of paraplegia, the patient could only slightly move her legs. After 8 months of the initial paraplegia, she was able to walk with assistance, and to perceive pinrick sensation in her right leg, and tingling in her left leg. She could also void and defecate. At 16 months, paraplegia and sensory loss were slightly recovered. The cause for this paraplegia is still unknown, but it may be from exacerbation of preexisting disease, acute transverse myelitis, anterior spinal artery syndrome, or neurotoxicity.

Controller for doubly-fed induction-type wind generation system should be designed with mechanical power on blade. The controller in this paper consists of upper level controller and lower level controller. The upper level controller determines operating modes according to mechanical input power and calculates proper reference values. There are 4 operating modes - minimum speed control, variable torque control, torque limit control and idle mode. The lower level controller performs current regulated PWM control of rotor-side converter and grid-side inverter. A wind turbine simulator is implemented using doubly-fed induction-type generator and DSP based back-to-back converter to verify the performance of designed controller experimentally.

This paper proposes the improved transition scheme for a sensorless drive of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). In order to operate the IPMSM, the current controller can be used until 300 rpm for the initial operation. After that, the control method of IPMSM is changed to the speed controller for the sensorless control method. At that point, the rotor speed overshoot is generated due to the rapid change of the current reference for the speed controller. The proposed algorithm is able to reduce the overshoot of a rotor speed by compensating the estimated feedforward value to the speed controller. The feedforward value of the current reference is estimated by using a coordinate transformation and is approximated to the current reference after the transition of the control mode. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by experiments using an IPMSM drive system.

화력 발전소 드럼수위의 제어는 보일러 시스템의 효율적인 운용을 위해 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 드럼수위의 제어 목적은 드럼수위를 외란에 관계없이 항상 설정치로 유지하는 것이다. 정상 운전중에는 드럼의 중앙이하 부분에는 물이 차 있고, 상부에는 증기가 차 있으나 만일 수위가 너무 높아지면 carry over 현상이 발생하며 반대로 너무 낮으면 드럼 하부의 과열 및 튜브의 손상을 초래하여 대사고를 유발하게 되므로 드럼수위는 항상 정상으로 유지해야 한다. 드럼수위 제어루프는 처음에는 드림수위만을 제어입력으로 취하는 PI 제어기에 의해 이루어지다가, 주증기량이 일정량 이상 유지되면 드럼수위가 일정한 설정치를 유지하도록 급수량, 드럼수위, 주증기량에 의한 PI-PI 캐스케이드 형태의 제어로 절환되어 제어가 이루어진다. 또한 드럼 수위는 차압검출기에 의해서 측정되어지는데, 드럼의 압력에 따라 물과 증기의 밀도가 변하기 때문에 차압검출기에 의한 드럼수위 지시치는 드럼압력에 의한 보상도 요구되어진다. 본 논문에서는 중용량 화력발전소를 대상으로 드럼수위 보상과 드럼수위 제어기를 구현하고, 적용하여 실제 발전출력 증발시의 드럼수위 제어결과를 보임으로서 구현한 드럼수위 제어기의 효용성을 보인다.

본 논문은 마이크로그리드의 seamless mode transfer 를 위한 부하 위치에 따른 고조파 보상 기능을 가진 간접 전류 제어기법을 다루고 있다. 분산 발전 기반의 마이크로그리드는 계통 연계 모드와 독립 운전 모드시 각각 전류 제어기와 전압 제어기로 정의되며 각 모드에서 고품질의 전력공급을 위하여 강인한 제어기가 필요되어진다. 이때 계통 왜곡이나 비선형 부하의 연결등은 시스템의 전력 품질 악화를 초래할 수 있으며 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 계통연계 모드 뿐만 아니라 독립 운전 모드에서도 사용 가능한 비례공진 제어 기반의 간접 전류 제어기법을 제안하였고 부하 위치에 따른 고조파 보상 기법과 안정적인 모드변환을 동시에 고려하였다. 또한 비례 공진 제어기의 실용적인 모델을 사용함으로 인해 때때로 야기되는 독립 운전시의 전압 크기 감소에 대한 대책으로 적용이 간편한 전압 회복 기법도 추가되었다. 결과적으로 비선형 부하를 공급하기 위한 제안된 방식은 계통 연계와 독립 운전 모드에서 안정적인 전력 공급과 모드 절환 특성을 가짐을 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 통해 입증되었다.
