Hybrid cascade multilevel PWM inverter has advantages of hybrid structure which enhances the better utilization of power semiconductor switches, that is, both hi호 power-low frequency switch, GTO and low power-high frequency switch, IGBT can be used in the same circuit. In this paper, a static var compensator using hybrid cascade 5-level PWM inverter is presented for high voltage/high power applications. The proposed system is modelled by circuit DQ transformation, and thus an equivalent circuit is obtained which reveals the important characteristics of the system and lead to the related equations. Finally, circuit structure and characteristics is presented and the validity of the characteristics analysis is shown through PSIM simulation.

The real-time industrial network, often referred to as fieldbus, is an important element for intelligent manufacturing systems. Thus, in order to satisfy the real-time requirements of field devices, numerous fieldbus protocols have been announced. But, the application of fieldbus has been limited due to the high cost of hardware and the difficulty in interfacing with multi-vendor products. Therefore, as an alternative to fieldbus, the computer network technology, especially Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), is being adapted to the industrial environment. However, the crucial technical obstacle for Ethernet is its non-deterministic behavior that makes it inadequate for industrial applications where real-time data have to be delivered within a certain time limit. Recently, the development of switched Ethernet shows a very promising prospect for industrial application due to the elimination of uncertainties in the network operation resulting in much improved performance. This paper focuses on the application of the switched Ethernet with cascade structure for industrial communications. More specifically, this paper presents an analytical performance evaluation of switched Ethernet with cascade structure, and a case study about networked control system.

The losses at off-design points from a compressor cascade occur due to the deviation from a design incidence angle at the inlet of the cascade. The self-noise from the blade cascade at off-design points comes from a separated boundary layer and vortex sheddings. If the incidence angle to the cascade increases, stalling in blades may occur and the noise level increases significantly. This study applied Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) using deductive and deductive dynamic SGS models to low Mach-number, turbulent flow with each incidence angle to the cascade ranging from -40$^{\circ}$ to +20$^{\circ}$ and compared numerical predictions with measured data. It was observed that the oscillating separation bubbles attached to the suction surface do not modify wake flows dynamically for cases of negative incidence angles. However, an incidence angle greater than 8$^{\circ}$ caused a separated vortex near the leading edge to be shed downstream and created stalling. The computed performance parameters such as drag coefficient and total pressure loss coefficient showed good agreement with experimental results. Noise from the cascade of the compressor is summarized as sound generated by a structure interacting with unsteady, turbulent flows. The hybrid method using acoustic analogy was observed to closely predict the measured overall sound powers and directivity patterns at design and off-design points of blade cascade.

본 논문에서는 고전압 대용량 응용에 적합한, 하이브리드 cascade 5-레벨 PWM 인버터를 이용한 정지형 무효전력보상기가 제안된다. 또한, 제안된 시스템을 회로 DQ 모델링하고 이로부터 시스템의 중요한 동작특성을 해석하고 각종 관련 식들을 유도한다. 제안된 무효전력보상기는 대용량으로 구성 이 가능하고, 대용량-저주파 스위칭을 하는 GTO와 소용량-고주파 스위칭을 하는 IGBT등 서로 다른 종류의 스위치를 섞어 사용하는 하이브리드 구성의 장점을 가지므로 전력반도체 스위치의 활용도를 극대화 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 정지형 무효전력보상기의 회로구성과 특성이 설명 및 해석되고, 이를 PSIM 회로 시뮬레이션으로 그 동작특성 해석의 타당성을 입증한다.

In this paper a novel converter structure based on cascade converter family is presented. The suggested multilevel advanced cascade converter has benefits such as reduction in number of switches and power losses. Comparison depict that proposed topology has the least number of IGBTs among all multilevel cascade type converters which have been introduced recently. This characteristic causes low cost and small installation area for suggested converter. The number of on state switches in current path is less than conventional topologies and so the output voltage drop and power losses are decreased. Symmetric and asymmetric modes are analyzed and compared with conventional multilevel cascade converter. Simulation and experimental results are presented to illustrate validity, good performance and effectiveness of the proposed configuration. The suggested converter can be applied in medium/high voltage and PV applications.

본 연구에서는 블레이드 구조 변형 효과를 고려하여 스테이터-로터 상호간섭 케스케이드 모델의 성능평가를 위한 유체-구조 연계해석 시스템을 개발하였다. 고정된 스테이터와 회전하는 로터는 상호간섭 영향이 유동해석에 고려되었으며, 레이놀즈-평균화 난류 방정식인 Spalart-Allmaras 모델과 k-ω SST 난류 모델이 압축성 유동박리 효과를 고려한 유동하중을 예측하기 위해 적용되었다. 정적인 유체-구조 연계해석과 수렴율 증진을 효과적으로 수행하기 위하여 큰 인공 감쇠를 가지는 연계 Newmark 시간적분 기법을 적용하였다. 수치실험을 통해 탄성축 위치에 따른 구조변형 효과가 케스케이드 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 구조변형 효과가 고려된 경우 일반적인 강체 블레이드 모델에 대한 성능예측 결과와 다소 차이가 유발될 수 있음을 보였으며 공력탄성학적 영향을 고찰하였다.

In this study, a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis system has been developed in order to evaluate the turbine cascade performance with blade structural deformation effect. Relative movement of the rotor with respect to stator is reflected by modeling independent two computational domains. To consider the deformed position of rotor airfoil, dynamic moving grid method is applied. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with one equation Spalart-Allmaras and two-equation SST $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence models are solved to predict unsteady fluid dynamic loads. A fully implicit time marching scheme based on the Newmark direct integration method with high artificial damping is used to compute the fluid-structure interaction problem. Cascade performance evaluations for different elastic axis positions are presented and compared each other. It is importantly shown that the predicted aerodynamic performance considering structural deformation effect of blade can show some deviations compared to the data generally computed from rigid blade configurations and the position of elastic axis also tend to give sensitive effect.

본 논문은 수중 차의 차속도와 프로펠러 각속도를 추정하는 문제를 다룬다. 계단식 관측기는 측정된 위치 값으로부터 속도값 추정을 위해 사용한다. 고이득 관측기(high-gain observer)에 전형적으로 생기는 전형적인 문제를 없애기 위하여 계단식 구조의 관측기가 설계되었다. 고이득 관측기처럼 시스템 다이나믹스와 파라미터로부터 무관하게 설계할 수 있으며 단순한 구조를 가진다 관측기의 첫 단계에서 출력 값이 추정되고 측정된 출력의 1계 미분 값이 관측기의 두 번째 단계를 통해 추정된다. 또한 출력의 n 번째 미분 값은 관측기의 n+1 번째 단계에서 추정된다. 제안된 관측기가 전체 점근적 안정도를 보장함을 보여준다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 기존의 고이득 관측기에 비해 제안된 관측기가 수중 차의 차속도와 프로펠러 각속도를 더 우수하게 추정함을 보여준다.

In this paper, we proposed to improve performance of the design of a cascade controller with the smith-predictor structure. The parameters of controller in the inner loop are determined to minimize the integral of time multiplied by the absolute value of error (ITAE) value of performance Index. The controller of outer loop and parameters of Smith-Predictor can be obtain using reduction model. The model reduction is considered that it is the transient response and the steady-state response through the use of nyquist curve. Simulation examples are given to show the better performance of the proposed method than conventional methods.
