This paper deals with the issue of force synchronizing control for the clamping servomechanism of injection molding machines. Prior to the controller design, a virtual design model has been developed for the clamping mechanism with hydraulic systems. Then, a synchronizing controller is designed and combined with an adaptive feedforward control in order to accommodate the mismatches between the real plant and the linear model plant used. As a disturbance, the leakage due to the ring gap with relative motion in the cylinder has been introduced. From the robust force tracking simulations, it is shown that a significant reduction in the force synchronizing error is achieved through the use of a proposed control scheme.

기존의 위상천이 풀 브리지 DC/DC 컨버터의 경우 변압기의 누설 인덕턴스와 정류 스위치의 기생 출력 캐패시턴스 사이의 공진으로 인하여 정류 스위치에 스파이크 전압이 발생하며, 이는 시스템의 전력 변환 효율을 감소시킨다. 최근에 보조 DC/DC 컨버터를 사용하여 클램핑 캐패시터에서 흡수된 에너지를 부하로 회기시키는 방법이 연구되고 있으나, 보조 DC/DC 컨버터를 설계하기 위한 정확한 분석은 제시되지 않았다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 2차 측 정류기의 공진 전압을 저감할 수 있는 비동기식 능동형 스너버 회로의 설계방법을 제안한다. 또한, 초기 기동 시에 발생되는 큰 공진에너지를 히스테리시스 회로를 이용하여 저항을 통해 소모시킴으로써 보조 DC/DC 컨버터의 자성소자를 최소화할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 방식의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 이론적으로 분석하며, 450W급 시작품을 제작하여 제안방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper deals with supercapacitor energy storage system for the compensation of the slow response characteristics of a fuel cell generation system for grid connection. A bidirectional dc/dc converter is used for the charging and discharging of the supercapacitor. The conventional converters use additional clamping circuit, etc. to reduce a voltage spike at the instant of switching and to provide wide range of soft switching. The proposed method provides simplified hardware implementation without any clamping circuit, and soft switching condition for both charging and discharging mode with proper switching patterns. The usefulness of the proposed scheme is verified through simulation and experimental results with 1 kW system.

In this paper, an inductive clamping class-E power amplifier has been tested for wireless power transmission at ISM band, 13.56 MHz. The implemented power amplifier is designed to operate stably without destroying power transistor in wireless power transmission system which basically keeps not to align between a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna. The power amplifier is also designed to enhance harmonic filtering characteristic. The amplifier was tested with a DC supply voltage of 28 V and input power of 25 dBm at 13.56 MHz. The test results show the output power level of 43 dBm, the difference power level between fundamental frequency and second harmonic frequency of more than 55 dBc, the dc current consumption of 830 mA, and the high power-added efficiency of 85 %. Finally, the implemented power amplifier operated normally with 830 mA DC current consumption from 28 V source when the two antennas were aligned, and the power transmission was successful. But when the two antennas were not aligned, its DC current consumption automatically decreased down to 420 mA to protect the switching transistor.
