This study presents a new dead-time measurement method using the gamma attenuation law and generalized dead-time models for nuclear gamma-ray detectors. The dead-time of the NaI(Tl) detection system was obtained to validate the new dead-time determination method using very thin lead and polyethylene absorbers. Non-paralyzing dead-time was found to be 8.39 ㎲, and paralyzing dead-time was found to be 8.35 ㎲ using lead absorber for NaI(Tl) scintillator detection system. These dead-time values are consistent with the previously reported dead-time values for scintillator detection systems. The gamma build-up factor's contribution to the dead-time was neglected because a very thin material was used.

A new dead time compensation scheme that can exactly estimate the dead time and inverter nonlinearity under parameter variations is proposed for a PWM inverter-fed PMSM drive. The proposed scheme uses the fact that the sixth harmonic component in total disturbance estimated under the presence of various uncertainties is mainly caused by the dead time and inverter nonlinearity. The total disturbance due to the parameter variations as well as the dead time and inverter nonlinearity is estimated by the adaptive scheme. The sixth harmonic component is extracted from this total disturbance through harmonic analysis. The obtained sixth harmonic is processed by the PI controller to estimate the disturbance caused by the dead time and inverter nonlinearity in the stationary reference frame. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified. Without requiring an additional hardware, the proposed scheme can effectively compensate the dead time and inverter nonlinearity even under the parameter variations.

Dead-time element must be set into space vector pulsed width modulation signals to avoid short circuits of the inverter. However, the dead-time element distorts the output voltage vector, which deteriorates the performance of electrical machine drive system. In this paper, dead-time effect and its compensation control strategy are analyzed. Based on the analysis, the voltage distortion caused by dead-time is regarded as two disturbances imposed on dq axes in the rotor reference frame, which degenerates the current tracking performance. To inhibit the adverse effect caused by the dead-time, a control scheme using two linear extended state observers is proposed. This method provides a strong ability to suppress dead-time effects. Simulations and experiments are conducted on a permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes the dead time effect compensation algorithm using proportional resonant controller in pulse width modulation inverter of motor drive. To avoid a short circuit in the dc link, the dead time of the switch device is surely required. However, the dead time effect causes the phase current distortions, torque pulsations, and degradations of control performance. To solve these problems, the output current including ripple components on the synchronous reference frame and stationary reference frame are analyzed in detail. As a results, the distorted synchronous d-and q-axis currents contain the 6th, 12th, and the higher harmonic components due to the influence of dead time effect. In this paper, a new dead time effect compensation algorithm using proportional resonant controller is also proposed to reduce the output current harmonics due to the dead time and nonlinear characteristics of the switching devices. The proposed compensation algorithm does not require any additional hardware and the offline experimental measurements. The experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed dead time effect compensation algorithm.

Dead time은 공정의 동특성을 기술할 때 매우 자주 나타나는 것으로 공정의 동특성 모사 혹은 제어 시스템 분석에 많은 어려움을 준다. 이 어려움을 줄이기 위해 무한 차원의 dead time을 유한 차원의 전달함수로의 근사가 필요한데, 여기에는 Pade 근사가 자주 사용된다. Dead time의 정밀한 근사를 위해서는 고차의 Pade 근사가 필요한데, 고차의 Pade 근사식은 외우기 쉽지 않고 수치적으로 안정적이지 못하다. 이 Pade 근사와 같은 전달함수를 주지만 수치적으로 우수한 continued fraction 전개를 이용하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 방법은 수치적으로 우수할 뿐만 아니라 매우 체계적이어서 쉽게 기억할 수 있어 공정제어 강의와 계산에 편리하게 이용할 수 있을 것이다.

전압형 인버터에서 데드 타임은 직류단 단락을 방지하기 위하여 필요하다. 데드 타임 효과는 출력 전압, 출력 전류의 왜곡으로 나타난다. 최근 많은 논문에서 데드 타임 보상 방법에 대한 연구가 이루어졌다. 본 논문에서는 데드타임을 보상하는 것이 아니라 데드 타임이 없는 인버터를 제안한다. 부하전류를 측정할 필요도 없으며 데드 타임보상을 위한 계산도 필요 없다. 이는 인버터의 각 레그에 트랜스포머를 추가함으로써 가능하다. 제안된 방법의 각 모드 해석이 선행되고 타당성을 위한 시뮬레이션 결과가 제시된다.

Measuring occurrence times of random events, aimed to determine the statistical properties of the governing stochastic process, is a basic topic in science and engineering, and has been the subject of numerous mathematical modeling approaches. Often, true statistical properties deviate from measured properties due to the so called dead time phenomenon, where for a certain time period following detection, the detection system is not operational. Understanding the dead time effect is especially important in radiation measurements, often characterized by high count rates and a non-reducible detector dead time (originating in the physics of particle detection). The effect of dead time can be interpreted as a suitable rarefied sequence of the original time sequence. This paper provides a limit theorem for a high rate (diffusion-scale) counter with extendable (Type II) dead time, where the underlying counting process is a renewal process with finite second moment for the inter-event distribution. The results are very general, in the sense that they refer to a general inter arrival time and a random dead time with general distribution. Following the theoretical results, we will demonstrate the applicability of the results in three applications: serially connected components, multiplicity counting and measurements of aerosol spatial distribution.

In this paper, The modified dead-time compensator for plants with an integrator and long dead time is proposed. The design procedure takes account of the closed-loop performance and robustness. The tuning of the controller can be done using some information about the plant and its uncertainties. The proposed controller is compared to others recently presented in the literature. Some simulation results verify good closed-performance and robustness of the proposed DTC.

It is necessary to obtain the high performance of the inverter system that control the output current of inverters. The dead time causes detrimental effects to the control performance of the inverter system. So we need to compensate the dead time effects. And the dead time minimization switching method can be considered as the best way to avoid the dead time effects fundamentally. In this paper, a new dead time minimization switching strategy is proposed. According to the proposed method, very short dead time is adopted in only once when the current polarity is changing. And the adopted dead time is equal to the applied dead time or shorter than it. As the proposed method can be done with the porlarity information of the reference current. it is easy to avoid some problems in comparison with the case that the real current is used to get the polarity changing time; level detection difficulty, noise problem and so on.

This paper presents a novel and direct dead time compensation method of the 3 phase inverter using space vector pulse width modulation(SVPWM) topology. In the turn on time calculation of the effective voltage, the dead time effect is directly compensated according to the current direction of the midium voltage reference. Since the turn on time of the effective voltage vector is affected by the dead time, the loss time is compensated to turn on time of the effective voltage vector. And the dead time is added to the calculated voltage vector switching times according to the current direction. For the more effective compensation, the direction of the midium phase current is considered by the practical direction and voltage drops in the power devices. The proposed method can compensate the dead time which is considered feedback error or direction of middle phase current without coordinate transform in added controller. The proposed dead time compensation scheme is verified by the computer simulation and experiments of 3 phase R L load.
