최근 인버터의 에너지절약 및 이용 합리화는 공조용뿐만 아니라 전에는 별로 생각하지 않았던 반송(搬送)기계, 기타 일반산업기계에도 니즈가 높아가고 있다. 그 결과 여러 가지 에너지절약 방법에 의한 대처방안이 추진되고 있다. 1999년 4월에 시행된 개정 (일본)省에너지법에서도 (1)팬, 펌프, 블로어, 컴프레서 등의 유체기계에 대해서는 회전수 제어 등으로 송출량과 압력을 적절히 조정하여 전동기의 부하를 저감시킬 것 (2) 전동력응용설비를 부하변동이 큰 상태에서 사용할 때는 부하에 따른 운전제어를 할 수 있도록 회전수제어장치 등을 설치하도록 검토할 것 과 같이 공조용도 이외의 일반용도에 대해서도 인버터 설치를 장려하고 있다. 그래서 본고에서는 인버터운전에 의한 에너지절약을, 공조용도에 한정하지 않고 부하특성에 따른 것과 운전상태에 따른 것에 대하여 각각의 에너지절약 실현방법을 소개한다. 2장에서는 인버터운전으로 에너지절약을 할 수 있는 기본적인 생각을 기술한다. 3장에서는 부하특성에 따른 에너지절약 방법으로 2승저감토크 부하, 정토크 부하, 정출력 부하로 분류하여 상용운전에서의 에너지로스 요인을 분석, 인버터운전이 에너지절약이 되는 이유를 기술한다. 4장에서는 각 운전상태에 따른 에너지절약방법으로 시동$\cdot$가속, 일정속도 운전, 감속$\cdot$정지 모드로 분류하여 각각의 상태에서의 에너지로스의 요인을 분석, 인버터운전이 에너지절약이 되는 이유를 기술한다. 5장에서는 공조용도 이외의 분야에서 새로운 에너지절약이 가능하게 된 구체적인 사례 도입에 있어서의 주안점과 효과에 대해 소개한다.

As a part of the global industrial efforts to reduce environmental pollution owing to air pollution, regulations have been established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The IMO has implemented various regulations such as EEXI, EEDI, and CII to reduce air pollution emissions from ships. They are also promoting measures to decrease the power consumption in ships, aiming to conserve energy. Most of the power used in ships is consumed by electric motors. Among the motors installed on ships, the engine room blower that takes up a significant load, operates at a constant irrespective of demand. Therefore, energy savings can be expected through frequency control. In this study, we demonstrated the efficacy of energy savings by controlling the frequency of the electric motor of the generator blower that supplies combustion air to the generator's turbocharger. The system was modeled based on the output data of the turboharger outlet temperature in response to the blower frequency inpu. A PI control system was established to control the frequency with the target being the turbocharger outlet temperature. By maintaining the turbocharger design standard outlet temperature and controlling the blower frequency, we achieved an annual energy saving of 15,552kW in power consumption. The effectiveness of energy savings through frequency control of blower fans was verified during the summer (April to September) and winter (March to October) periods. Based on this, we achieved annual fuel cost savings of 6,091 thousand won and reduction of 8.5 tons of carbon dioxide, 2.4 kg of SOx, and 7.8 kg of NOx air pollutants on the training ship.

For drones to be used for industrial or agricultural applications, it is necessary to increase the payload and endurance. Currently, the payload and endurance are limited by the battery technology for electric powered drones. In addition, charging or replacing the batteries may not be a practical solution at the field that requires near continuous operation. In this paper, a procedure to optimize the power system of an electric hybrid drone that consists of an internal combustion engine, a generator, a battery, and electric motors is presented. The example drone for crop dusting is sized for easy transportation with a maximum takeoff weight of 200 kg. The two main rotors that are mechanically connected to the internal combustion engine provides most of the lift. The drone is controled by four electric motors that are driven by the generator. By analyzing the flow of the energy, a methodology to select the optimum propeller and motor among the commercially available models is described. Then, a procedure of finding the optimum operational condition along with the proper gear reduction ratios for the internal combustion engine based on the test data is presented.

In compliance with environmental regulations at sea and the introduction of unmanned autonomous ships, electric propulsion ships are garnering significant attention. Induction machines used as propulsion electric motor (PEM) have maintenance advantages, but speed control is very complicated and difficult. One of the most commonly used techniques for speed control is DTC (direct torque control). DTC is simple in the reference frame transformation and the stator flux calculation. Meanwhile, two-level and three-level voltage source inverters (VSI) are predominantly used. The three-level VSI has more flexibility in voltage space vector selection compared to the two-level VSI. In this paper, speed is controlled using the DTC method based on the specifications of the PEM. The speed controller employs a PI controller with anti-windup functionality. In addition, the characteristics of the two-level VSI and three-level VSI are compared under identical conditions. It was confirmed through simulation that proper control of speed and torque has been achieved. In particular, the torque ripple was small and control was possible with a low DC voltage at low speed in the three-level VSI. The study confirmed that the application of DTC, using a three-level VSI, contributes to enhancing the system's response performance.
