This paper proposes a more accurate task level energy measurement technique for high speed microprocessors. The technique is based on the relationship of the amount of current consumed by the microprocessor and the pulse width of the power supply controller chip, employed in the synchronous buck DC-DC converter in the microprocessor's power supply. The accuracy of the measurement is accomplished by measuring variation in pulse width in each power supply cycle. The major advantage of this technique is that its accuracy does not depend on the operating frequency of the microprocessor. To prove the proposed technique, we implemented the measurement unit of the microprocessor energy meter using an FPGA chip operating at 50 MHz. Both static and dynamic load measurement are tested in order to obtain some behaviours. Moreover, various commercially available mainboards which employ synchronous buck regulators at 200 KHz switching frequency, were measured. The results agree with previous works with better accuracy at higher operating frequency.

Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite (KOMPSAT) uses software-controlled unregulated bus system In which the main bus is directly connected to a battery and the duty-ratio for PWM switch is generated by the on-board satellite software algorithm. In this paper, we propose a new power-stage circuit that can be available for modularization of a solar array regulator(SAR) which is used in the KOMPSAT. The operations at each mode and current sharing characteristics of the power-stage are analyzed and verified by simulation and experiments on a prototype converter.

This study is about vector controlled inverter for high quality elevator drive that is to improve the settling accuracy of elevator car and passenger's comfort in commercial buildings. In this study, an instantaneous space vector control type inverter was used to reduce the torque ripple ant to improve the velocity follow-up. This method calculates Instantaneous actual output torque and flux of induction motor by voltage and current, then compares them with a reference values by a speed regulator. The outputs of comparators select a switching mode, for an optimal voltage vector. Also, this study used IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar-Transistor), a high speed switching element, to reduce sound noise level, and DSP (Digital Signal Processor) was used to improve the reliability of the control circuit by fully digitalization.

There are generally two temperature control methods using ac voltage regulators - the phase control method and the on-off control method. The phase control method uses thyristor's angles of extinction for the output power regulation and the on-off control method uses the control of on and off times for the output power regulation. Both of methods have the problems that are the unbalance of the three phase and surge current caused system's destruction. The main object of this study proposes a solution of problems of surge currents and unbalance of three phase when thyristor voltage regulator is switching. To solve the problem, It is proposes that the solution of surge currents is using a tap transformer and an additional switch with adjustable resistance and applies zero crossing of switching voltage of two input line to power load. This method is discuss and verified by computer simulations and experiments.

This paper presents a new velocity estimation strategy of a non-salient permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) drive without high frequency signal injection or special PWM pattern. This approach is based on the d-axis current regulator output voltage of the drive system which has the information of rotor position error. The rotor velocity can be estimated through a rotor position tracking PI controller that controls the position error to aero. For zero and low speed operation, the PI gains of rotor position tracking controller have a variable structure. The PI tuning formulas are derived by analyzing this control system using the frequency domain specifications such as phase margin and bandwidth assignment.

In this study, we investigate the safety requirements and test methods of a radiofrequency stimulator. The main test items include controls of a minimum output, accommodation range, and output parameters that have been known as the safety requirements in conformity with international standards. As the test criteria for controlling the minimum output, an increase or decrease in a unit of 1 mA or 1 V or less was applied to the output amplitude regulator for both continuous and discontinuous control, and the output at the minimum setting was manipulated to not exceed 2% of the maximum setting. For controlling the output parameters, one of the representative test criteria states that the current limit of 250 mA should be equal to or less than 1,500 Hz. Consequently, when applying the radiofrequency stimulator on the human body, we need to ensure that the safety requirements conform to the international standards.

In this paper a new buck-boost type DC-DC converter is presented. Its voltage gain is positive, all active elements operate under soft-switching condition independent of loading, magnetic isolation and self output short-circuit protection exist, and very fast dynamic operation is achievable by a simple bang-bang controller. This converter also exhibits appropriate PFC characteristics since its input current is inherently proportional to the source voltage. When the voltage source is off-line, it is sufficient to add an inductor after the rectifier, then near unity power factor is achievable. All essential guidelines to design the converter as a DC-DC and a PFC regulator are presented. Simulation and experimental results verify the developed theoretical analysis.

A brush-less type synchronous generator is driven by an internal-combustion engine that is used for emergency source. This kind of generator has to maintain output voltage in a range of some degree under the abrupt load irregular conditions such as a full load trip. This paper suggests a suppression method of increasing the output voltage over the rating. Automatic voltage regulator detects excessive rising of output voltage of the generator and supplies the signals to a switch installed in the rotating exciter through the photo-coupler. The current of main field rapidly decreases by additional resistor of the main filed circuit. Therefore, the output voltage of the generator is maintained effectively. The experimental results verified that the excessive value of the output voltage is limited in the range of 7% of the rated voltage.

This paper presents a high-efficiency low-power permanent magnet (PM) generator for the power supply of the generator exciter. In the conventional generator system, the power for the exciter is fed by the generator output power or an emergency battery for the starting. The proposed low-power PM generator can generate the proper power and voltage to excite the exciter field winding. According to the starting of the generator, the designed PM generator can supply the constant voltage to the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR), then it can be used to control of exciter field current for the generator. Because of the designed PM generator which is placed inside the conventional generator system, the emergency battery and Potential Transducer(PT) for AVR can be removed. Thus, the total efficiency can be improved. The proposed generator system is tested in the practical system. And the efficiency characteristic is analyzed.

The key objective of this paper is to suggest a pilot model for mobile network interconnection charge calculation by bottom-up long-run incremental costing methodology. Interconnection issues have lately attracted considerable attention by network operators and regulators. However there is no standard by all the network operators' agreement. The costing method is an acute problem because the interconnection charge is directly related to the network operators' revenue. Thus Korea has planned to launch the new interconnection policy based on the current traffic distribution and then we simulate the model in a sample area with virtual data. The results propose objective and reasonable guideline for the mobile network element cost calculation. It can be helpful for calculating price floor or bottom-up long run incremental interconnection charge by regulator.
