This paper presents the design of a lab-built powered knee prosthesis based on a BLDC motor, a sensored impedance control using a force sensor, and a sensorless impedance control through torque estimation. Firstly, we describe the structure of the lab-built powered knee prosthesis and its limitations. Secondly, we decompose the gait cycle into five stages and apply the position-based impedance control for the powered knee prosthesis. Thirdly, we perform an experiment for the torque estimation and the sensorless impedance control of the prosthesis. The experimental results show that we can use the torque estimation to control the low impedance during the swing phase, although the estimated torque data has a delay compared with the measured torque by a load cell.

최근 최저효율제를 대비한 프리미엄급 고효율 전동기의 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 유도전동기를 대체할 수 있는 고효율 전동기로써 영구자석 매입형 동기 릴럭턴스 모터(PMA-SynRM)가 각광받고 있다. 하지만 모터의 속도와 토크를 제어하기 위해 회전자 속도와 위치 정보를 측정할 수 있는 센서가 필요하고, 이 때 센서 설치의 공간적 문제, 센서의 유지/보수 및 시스템의 추가 비용 발생 등 많은 문제점들이 발생한다. 따라서 센서를 제거하기 위한 센서리스 위치 및 속도 제어에 관한 연구가 폭 넓게 진행되고 있다. 하지만 모터를 운전함에 따라 저항이나 역기전력 상수, 인덕턴스 등의 제정수의 변동이 발생하게 되고 센서리스 제어 시 이러한 변동에 의해서 추정 속도 및 위치에 오차가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 오차의 보상을 위해 MRAS(Model Reference Adaptive System) 방식을 적용한 센서리스 제어를 제안한다.

고속 선박을 추진하는 한 방법으로 널리 사용되는 물분사 추진은 물을 내부 덕트로 빨아들여 임펠러로 물을 가속시켜 노즐을 통해 분사시킴으로써 입출구의 운동량차이에 의해 추력을 얻는 추진장치이다. 선박의 목적에 따라 사용되는 다양한 형태의 물분사 추진기의 개발을 위하여 모형실험을 통하여 그 성능을 검증하는 부분에서 로터의 피치각 변화에 따른 추진기의 성능 실험을 하는 것은 많은 비용과 시간이 따른다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 추진기 내부의 유동장을 4가지 피치각에 따라 추진력을 3차원 비압축성 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 이용하여 해석하였다. 로터의 회전을 고려하여 슬라이딩 다중 격자기법을 적용하였고 추력계수, 토크계수, 그리고 모멘텀을 해석 결과와 비교 분석을 통하여 추진기의 성능과 효율을 추정하였다.

This paper presents a simple torque estimation method and the switching angle control of SRM using Neural Network. SRM has gaining much interest as industrial applications due to the simple structure and high efficiency. Adaptive switching angle control is essential for the optimal driving of a SRM because of the driving characteristic varies with the load and speed. The proper switching angle which can increase the efficiency was investigated in this paper Neural Network was adapted to regulate the switching angle and nonlinear inductance modelling. Experimental result shows the validity of the switching angle controller.

In this paper, a speed estimation based on the quick torque control is proposed to realize speed sensorless control in a full range of induction motors. The proposed method can be formulated simply from a motor circuit equation and conducted easily by detecting primary motor currents and a voltage command at every sampling time. Since the method need not the differential values of primary currents in an arithmetic of a speed, it can be expected to improve the precision of speed estimation in a very low speed area, especially. Some numerical simulations were conducted with the assumption of using a Pulse Width Modulation voltage source inverter.

This paper proposed a speed adaptive control system with load torque observer and feed-forward compensation using neural network for air compressor system driven an induction motor. The motor receive impact load change under the influence of piston movement of up and down, and so it difficult to obtain good speed control characteristics. With real-time adjusting control gain estimated in neural network, control characteristics of motor is improved. The validity of the proposed system is confirmed through the theoretical analysis and computer simulation.

A momentum type actuator produces force and torque disturbances as well as its designed control torque. These disturbances are ones of the largest disturbance sources inside the spacecraft, which deteriorate the pointing stability of the high precision spacecraft. The measurement and analysis of actuator disturbances are therefore imperative for such a spacecraft, and thus a three dimensional torque measurement table has been developed for that purpose. The data acquired from the measurement table are processed in the frequency domain and displayed in the power spectral density(PSD). Through this process, disturbance model parameters are obtained and used for the attitude stability simulation. The process has been adopted for the disturbance measurement of the reaction wheel, and the validity of measurements and parameter identification procedure is verified.

Direct Torque Control has the fast torque and flux dynamic response as we know. This dynamic performance is realized by the estimation of electromagnetic torque and stator flux linkages. Generally, the stator flux estimation is based on the stator voltage equation. The equation uses a pure integrator. If the equation is used without an encoder in Direct Torque Control, there is the drift problem. It is same to sensorless Stator Flux Orientation Control (SFO). In this paper a programmable low pass filter (LPF) is proposed for solving the problem in Direct Torque Control.

As the method need not the differential value of primary current in a arithmetic of voltage command, it can be expected to promote the precision of speed estimation in low speed area, especially. Through the numerical simulation, the validity of the proposed method was successfully confirmed.
