This paper presents a design methodology for improving the energy efficiency by considering the inertial properties of serial manipulators. This method employed is to put the inertia matrix, which has a critical effect on the equation of motion, into the constraints of the optimization problem. Through the optimization process, we propose a design algorithm that can double-check whether the optimized parameters satisfy the required performance or not by using an auxiliary index associated with the inertia and energy. Using this design algorithm, we were able to improve the energy efficiency by minimizing the torque. We applied this method to a 3 degrees of freedom serial manipulator and simulated it.

In this study, a method for designing blade pitch and generator torque controllers for a wind turbine generator is presented. This method consists of two steps. First, the Lyapunov stability theory is used to obtain nonlinear control laws that can regulate the rotor speed and the power output at all operating ranges. The blade pitch controller is chosen such that it always decreases a positive definite function that represents the error in rotor speed control. Similarly, the generator torque controller always decreases a positive definite function that reflects the error in power output control. Then, the simulation-based optimization technique is used to tune the design parameters. The controller design procedure and simulation results are presented using the widely adopted two-mass model of the wind turbine.

In this work, the configuration of a haptic gripper featuring magnetorheological(MR) brakes is proposed and an optimal design of the MR brakes for the haptic griper is performed considering the required braking torque, the uncontrollable torque(zero-field friction torque) and mass of the brakes. Several configurations of MR brake is proposed such as disc-type, serpentine-type and hybrid-type. After the configurations of the MR brakes are proposed, braking torque of the brakes is analyzed based on Bingham rheological model of the MR fluid. The zero-field friction torque of the MR brakes is also analyzed. An optimization procedure based on finite element analysis integrated with an optimization toolbox is developed for the MR brakes. The purpose of the optimal design is to find optimal geometric dimensions of the MR brake structure that can produce the required braking torque and minimize the mass of the MR brakes. In addition, the uncontrollable torque of the MR brakes is constrained to be much smaller than the required braking torque. Based on the developed optimization procedure, optimal solution of the proposed MR brakes are achieved and the best MR brake is determined. The working performance of the optimized MR brake is then investigated.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the dynamic disturbances(disturbed forces and disturbed torques) due to attitude control thruster's plume impingement on the solar arrays. To produce database of the dynamic disturbances a sweep analysis was done, in which the two parameters are used; the distance between the thruster and solar arrays and the thruster tilt angle. Based on the database, a third order polynomial approximation is computed to represent the characteristics of the disturbed forces and torques. The final results are the coefficients of the approximation for each solar array angle position. These results as input data are used to optimize the configuration of the attitude control thrusters. This analysis is appled to the two candidate solar arrays for Geo-Kompsat-2 satellite and the results of the disturbed forces and disturbed torques are compared and analysed.

1kW급 저소음 수직형 풍력발전기용 동기발전기 설계에 대해 설명한다. 낮은 풍량에 유리한 수직형 블레이드 특성에 맞춰 발전기는 코깅 토크가 낮아야 하며, 고효율화를 위해 다극형 설계가 유리하다. 현제 국내 수직형 풍력에 적합한 발전기가 대부분이며 수직형 풍력발전기에 적합한 낮은 코깅 토크의 발전기는 일반화 되어있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 동기발전기 최적 설계를 통해 코깅토크를 최소화 시켰고, 다극형 형태를 통해 낮은 풍량에서 고효율 출력을 만들어낼 수 있도록 200rpm에서 역기전력 96V, 1kw의 정격출력을 가지도록 설계 하였다. 수직축형태의 블레이드에 구조에 맞춰 축계통형 발전기 구조를 가지고 있고, 유한요소해석법을 이용 회전자, 고정자, 권선법, 영구자석 등의 구조를 최적화 시켰다.

본 논문에서는 BLDC 운전 중 각 상의 결상 사고에 따른 토크 및 속도의 최적화에 대해 연구하였다. BLDC 모터의 구동을 위하여 ATmega16이 사용되었으며 제어기법으로는 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 기법이 사용된다. 속도 제어는 Hall Sensor의 검출 속도에 따라 Duty비를 제어하여 이루어지며 회전자 위치는 Hall Sensor 검출 방식을 통하여 이루어진다. 이러한 BLDC 모터를 이용하여 예기치 못한 결상 상황의 발생 시 토크의 감소로 인한 급제동에 대비하여 부하에 상응하는 토크를 최대한 낼 수 있도록 알고리즘을 구현하였다.

본 논문에서는 비선형 최적화 기법을 이용하여 자기 포화(magnetic saturation) 및 교차 결합 현상(cross-coupling effect)을 고려한 매입형 영구자석 전동기(IPMSM)의 실시간 MTPA 제어 방법을 제안한다. 이는 토크 지령 추종과 최소 동손 운전을 만족하는 제한 최적화(constraint optimization) 문제로 접근할 수 있다. 이를 통해 유도한 연립 비선형 방정식의 경우, Levenberg-Marquardt 수치 해석법을 적용하여 안정적이면서 빠르게 해를 구할 수 있다. 이러한 방법을 이용하면 참조표(look-up table) 없이 운전 환경의 실시간 변동을 고려한 효율적인 MTPA 운전이 가능하다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 알고리즘의 전류 해가 최적 운전점과 일치함을 확인하였다.

A mathematical model of human gait was developed to calculate the muscle forces of the lower extremity during walking. The musculoskeletal model consisted of 7 segments and 16 lower extremity muscles. The muscle forces variation during the gait calculated with optimization technique showed a good agreement with previously reported experimental results, mostly EMG variation. Moreover, the resulting joint torques matched well with those from the kinematic data and the inverse dynamics.

Electric fans, which consist of axial blades, are operated by the induction motor. In this paper, the objective of this study is the performance improvement of the base model fan using the design optimization. In order to aerodynamic analysis, computational simulations are performed using commercial tool ANSYS-CFX ver. 14.5. And k-${\omega}$ SST turbulence model is used for the CFD analysis. The design variables are set up as sweep and lean angles. Volumetric flow rate and torque of the fan blades are fixed to objective function. The optimized model is shown the increment of the volumetric flow rate and the reduction of the torque compared with the base model. The experimental procedure is followed KS C 9301. CFD results and experimental results are fairly well matched.
