Starting with the development of environmentally friendly electric controlled engine, sensors have played an increasing role in automotive technology. Electric power steering (EPS) systems are more and more replacing hydraulic systems. To improve fuel economy, the power assistance is provided by an electric drive. In this paper, development of a unique torque sensor for EPS is introduced. A capacitive type torque sensor is concluded to be suitable for EPS because its output is accurate, linear and robust against the variance of temperature, and patents have not applied so much.

This paper describes the attributes, performance and development status of a high performance capacitive torque sensor intended for use in a electric power steering (EPS) system. The EPS system is composed of torque sensor, ECU, motor, gears and etc. Among the elements, torque sensor in the steering column is one of the core technologies. The new capacitive torque sensor in this paper is developed differently from working principle and mechanical structure compare to extant torque sensors in market and patent. Based on the result of numerical analysis, a experimental equipment is made which is composed of a test jig and a capacitive sensor and validity of numerical analysis and feasibility of the torque sensor are verified.

본 논문에서는 3상 IPM을 사용하여 2상 유도전동기를 위한 2레그형 인버터를 설계하였다. 3상 IPM은 6개의 스위칭 소자를 내장하고 있어서 이중 4개는 2레그형 인버터로 사용하고, 나머지 2개는 역률제어 회로에 이용할 수 있다. 이렇게 하면 하드웨어의 추가를 최소화하면서 역률제어 기능을 갖는 2레그형 인버터를 구현할 수 있다. 2레그형 인버터에서는 반드시 직류링크에 2개의 커패시터를 직렬로 연결하는데, 입력 전원의 반주기 마다 각각의 커패시터에 충방전 동작이 수행된다. 이러한 동작으로 인해 2개의 커패시터에 전압 불균형이 발생할 수 있고 커패시터 용량이 서로 다를 경우에는 이 전압 리플이 더욱 커지게 되며, 이것은 전동기에 불평형 전류를 공급하게 되어 전동기의 토크리플을 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 직류링크의 전압 불균형 문제가 전동기에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 이러한 전압 불균형을 보상하여 전동기의 토크리플을 제거하고 동작특성을 개선하는 방법을 제안하며, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 이를 검증한다.

저용량 에어컨의 압축기에 많이 사용되는 Single rotary 방식은 하나의 피스톤만을 채용하여 가격적인 면에서 큰 이점을 가진다. 그러나, 압축기 모터가 1회전할때 마다 압축과 토출을 단 1회 거치게 되므로, 부하변동을 심하여 진동이 많이 발생하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 Single rotary를 사용하는 에어컨 제품에서는 저속에서의 운전을 회피하거나 하나의 운전점에 대한 전향보상기를 채용하여 진동을 저감시켜 왔다. 본 논문에서는 모든 운전점에서 보상이 가능하도록 압축과 토출로 인한 부하의 패턴에서 각 주파수 성분을 분석하여 자동으로 부하 토크를 보상하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 가장 영향이 큰 1차와 2차 주파수 성분의 속도 리플의 양을 FFT 하고, 그 양이 작아지는 방향으로 부하 토크를 전향 제어방식으로 인가하는 방식이다. 제안된 방식을 이용하여 저속 운전에서 진동이 저감 되는것을 실험을 통하여 보였다.

In these days, demand for agile spacecraft is gradually increasing, due to the fact that agile spacecraft can improve mission capability. In this paper, an attitude control logic based on reaction wheels that can enhance agility of spacecraft is proposed. Three methods are suggested, and all three or part of them can be integrated to the existing attitude control system. First, a feedforward/feedback controller is introduced, and its pros and cons are provided, compared to the conventional feedback controller. Second, an attitude command generation method that fully utilizes torque/momentum capacities of reaction wheels is proposed. Third, a torque (current) control mode for internal wheel control is introduced. Numerical results verify that the settling time can be significantly reduced by employing the feedforward/feedback control method, especially for large angle maneuver.

Wet multi-disk clutch, a power switching device of the ducted fan, was optimized and results were analyzed. The clutch was divided into two types depending on whether a mechanical lock-up was applied or not. It was optimized under each design condition. Transfer torque capacity, friction material surface pressure, friction surface temperature, and drag torque were calculated as factors to optimize the clutch. The volume of separator plate and drag torque were used as the objective function for optimization. In the case of Type 1, which did not include a mechanical lock-up, the clutch could be operated regardless of the pitch angle of the ducted fan. However, the outer diameter of the friction surface was doubled, the volume was increased by 5~7 times, and the drag torque was increased by 7~12 times compared to those of Type 2, which included a mechanical lock-up.

This study proposes a method to estimate drilling torque during ground boring with an aid of electrical energy required for rotating a boring-auger. Ground boring is commonly used in geotechnical engineering such as preboring precast pile installation, soil-cement grouting, ground exploration and so forth. In order to understand the correlation between required electrical energy to rotate the boring auger and the drilling torque, a small laboratory apparatus was designed and a pilot study was performed. The apparatus rotates common drill bits of $D=5{\sim}25mm$ in CBR specimens. The velocity of a bit is 19 RPM and predefined using a reduction gear which connects a main rotation axis to a 25 Watts AC electrical motor shaft. In the middle of drilling the motor current increments and the drilling torque were measured and the correlation between the current and the torque was obtained through linear square fits. Based on the correlation the acquired motor current during drilling was applied to predict the drilling torque in consequent testing and the prediction results were compared to the measured torque. The comparison leads a conclusion that the motor current during drilling using electrical power may be a good indicator to estimate/determine strength characteristics of the ground.

In this paper, the 50kW aerogenerator which is applicable to the microgrid was designed and analyzed by using commercial simulation program Maxwell 2D. Particularly, the suggested PMSG to reduce the cogging torque introduced the offset and skew concept. The suggested optimal value of offset and skew was decided by 2mm and 60 degree of electric angle. The simulation results of the PMSG when load operation condition showed the average harmonic distortion 1.3%, voltage 322.41V, current 94.95A, and iron loss 9.73W, eddy current loss 73.68W, copper loss 3.52kW. The capacity of aerogenerator calculated 61.56kW, and the suggested design process can be applied to higher capacity generator.
