자동차 차체와 같은 박판을 접합하기 위해서 인버터 DC 저항 점 용접공정은 매우 널리 사용되어지고 있다. 이는 교류 용접에 비해 적은 전류로 용접이 가능하고, 더 넓은 적정 용접 영역을 가지며, 보다 적은 전극마모를 가지는 인버터 DC 저항 점용접의 특성에 기인한다. 아울러 최근에는 파워 소자와 같은 인버터 구성에 필요한 구성 요소의 가격이 낮아져, 전반적으로 용접기의 가격이 하락하였고, 구성 장치에 대한 신뢰성이 증가하였으며, 기존보다 전력의 사용량이 감소하여 인버터 DC 저항점 용접공정의 사용이 더욱 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 또한 차량의 경량화에 대한 요구가 증가함에 따라 고 장력 강판의 적용이 확대되고 있다. 이러한 재료의 우수한 용접을 위해 인버터 DC 저항 점 용접시스템의 개발이 더욱 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 인버터 DC 저항 점용접 시스템을 구성하더라도 모재의 특성이 전류 파형에 영향을 주게 되어, 정 전류 제어가 적용되지 못하면 전류 파형이 불안정해지게 되고 원하는 전류가 발생되지 않게 되어 스패터가 발생하거나, 용접 품질에 영향을 줄 수 있게 된다. 본 연구에서는 인버터 DC 저항 점용접 시스템을 구성하고, 정 전류의 제어를 위한 퍼지 제어 알고리즘을 개발하여 적용하였다. 퍼지제어기의 환산 계수를 최적화하기 위해서 유전 알고리즘을 적용하였으며, 실험에는 고장력강을 대상으로 정 전류 용접 공정을 수행하였다.

DC-DC converter and DC-AC inverter in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) generate the switching noise. It may be generated by the reverse recovery operation of the power diode in the switching circuit of the converter or the inverter. The shape of the reverse recovery region may be determined by both reverse time and recovery time in the diode. So, in this paper, the frequency spectrum of switching noise was estimated by the shape of the reverse recovery region and compared with the measured results. It shows that the meaningful region of the frequency spectrum is directly related with the reverse time.

In the microgrid, inverters for energy storage system are generally constructed in a parallel structure because of capacity expandability, convenience of system maintenance, and reliability improvement. Parallel inverters are required to provide stable voltage to the critical load in PCC and to accurately share the current between each inverter. Furthermore, when islanding occurs, the inverters should change its operating mode from grid-connected mode to stand-alone mode. However, during clearing time and control mode change, the conventional control method has a negative impact on the critical load, that is, severe fluctuating voltage. In this study, a parallel operation control method is proposed. This method provides seamless mode transfer for the entire transition period, including clearing time and control mode change, and has accurate current sharing between each inverter. The proposed control method is validated through simulation and experiment.

In this paper, a model predictive torque control (MPTC) without the use of a weighting factor for surface mounted permanent-magnet synchronous machine (SPMSM) drive systems is presented. Firstly, the desired voltage vector is predicted in real time according to the principles of deadbeat torque and flux control. Then the sector of this desired voltage vector is determined. The complete enumeration for testing all of the feasible voltage vectors is avoided by testing only the candidate vectors contained in the sector. This means that only two voltage vectors in the sector need to be tested for selecting the optimal voltage vector in each control period. Thus, the calculation time can be reduced when compared with the conventional enumeration method. On the other hand, a novel cost function that only includes the dq-axis voltage errors between the desired voltage and candidate voltage is designed to eliminate the weighting factor used in the conventional MPTC. Thus, the control complexity caused by the tuning of the weighting factor is effectively decreased when compared with the conventional MPTC. Simulation and experimental investigation have been carried out to verify the proposed method.

This paper shows the design and control methods of the bidirectional DC-DC converter to generate the proper DC-link voltage of a PMSM drive. Conventionally, because the controllable power of the PWM based voltage source inverter is limited by its DC-link voltage, the DC-DC converter is used for boosted DC-link voltage if the inverter source cannot generate enough operating voltage for the PMSM drive. In this paper, to obtain more utilization of this DC-DC converter, optimal DC-link voltage control for PMSM drive will be explained. First, the process and current path of the DC-DC converter will be illustrated, and a control method of this converter for variable DC-link voltage will then be explained. Finally, an improvement analysis of the optimal DC-link voltage control method, especially on the deadtime effect, will be explained. The DC-DC converter of the proposed control method is verified by the experiments by comparing with the conventional constant voltage control method.

Purpose This study analyzes resistance spot weldability of DP60 steels. Methodology To compare the resistance spot weldability of DP60 steels, tensile strength test and macro-section test were conducted for the resistance spot welds. Acceptable welding conditions were determined as a function of the resistance spot welding process parameters such as electrode force, welding time, and welding current. The lower limit of the welding lobe was the minimum shear tension strength for 590MPa-grade steel while the upper limit was determined whether or not expulsion was detected. Findings Welding force is 200kgf more appropriate in terms of 300kgf the larger the width of the welding zone. Acceptable welding current condition and welding lobe were changed depending on welding force. Research limitations This study is forced on inverter DC resistance spot weldability of 590Mpa-grade steels for automotive application. Practical implications This study confirms the weldability of DP60 steel by comparing resistance spot weldability depending on welding force. Originality This study analysed resistance spot weldability depending on welding force. wedability of DP60 steel were determined by welding lobes.

As global warming accelerates, eco-friendly electric cars are being developed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and power conversion inverters are used to drive motors. Among inverter components, DC-link capacitor is heated by high current usage, which causes problems such as performance and life-saving of inverter. Although metal cases with good thermal performance have been used to solve this problem, it is difficult to apply them in practice due to insulation problems with other parts. In this paper, the Heat-Generation influence factor of DC-link capacitor is analyzed. Variables on heat-generation are set at 3 levels for film width, inductance, and film thickness. Box-Behnken to 13 tests using the design and minimal deviations, e.g. through the experiment three times by each level. The surface of the film k type by attaching the sensor current is measured temperature. Capacitance was set to a minimum level of 200 ㎌ and had a frequency of 16 kHz with Worst case, ambient temperature of 85℃ and a ripple current of 50 Ams was applied. The temperature at the measurement point was collected in the data logger after sampling at 1 minute intervals for 2 hours after saturation with the ambient temperature. This experiment confirmed that setup factors are correlated with heat-generation.

Resistance spot welding has been investigated to apply for manufacturing car bodies because of its high productivity. So quality of resistance spot weld is one of the major concerns for both automobile and aerospace industry. Current design trends in automotive manufacture have shifted emphasis to alternative lightweight materials in order to aid in producing vehicles with higher fuel efficiency and lower down the vehicle emission level for environmental control. There is increasing emphasis to provide lighter cars. Therefore there is an effort to use high strength steels such as HSLA, dual phase, in car body. However there is used in restricted because of difficulty in producing consistently high quality resistance spot welds. In this study, resistance spot welding schedules were developed to achieve acceptable welds with improved static mechanical properties. Improved resistance spot welding schedules were developed using post heating current to reduce the cooling rate, or in-process tempering to reduce the hardness of the weld produced. The effects of resistance spot welding process parameter on hardening fracture mode and static mechanical properties of the joints were determined.

In the ultrasonic welding machine, when the load fluctuates, the L and C of the piezo element in the oscillation part change. As a result, the resonant frequency is changed, so it is necessary to match the operating frequency of the ultrasonic welding machine to the new resonant frequency. That is, in order to maximize the output of the oscillation unit of the ultrasonic welding machine, it is inevitable to follow the resonance frequency. Accordingly, many methods for following the resonant frequency are being actively studied. In addition, in order to check the effect of external inductance on the operation of the ultrasonic welding machine, The equivalent circuit of the piezo element was analyzed by including the external inductance for resonance in the equivalent circuit of the piezo element, and the method of selecting an appropriate inductance was described. In this paper, we propose a new system that allows the switching frequency of the inverter to tracking the resonance frequency even if the resonance frequency is changed due to the load of the ultrasonic welding machine.

In a three-phase system, three-phase AC signals can be translated into two-phase DC signals through a coordinate transformation. Thus, the PI regulator can realize a zero steady-state error for the DC signals. In the control of a three-phase grid-connected inverter, the phase angle of grid is normally detected by a phase-locked loop (PLL) and takes part in a coordinate transformation. A novel control strategy for a three-phase grid-connected inverter with a frequency-locked loop (FLL) based on coordinate transformation is proposed in this paper. The inverter is controlled as a current supply. The grid angle, which takes part in the coordinate transformation, is replaced by a periodic linear changing angle from $-{\pi}$ to ${\pi}$. The changing angle has the same frequency but a different phase than the grid angle. The frequency of the changing angle tracks the grid frequency by the negative feedback of the reactive power, which forms a FLL. The control strategy applies to non-ideal grids and it is a lot simpler than the control strategies with a PLL that are applied to non-ideal grids. The structure of the FLL is established. The principle and advantages of the proposed control strategy are discussed. The theoretical analysis is confirmed by experimental results.
