The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) can flexibly manage power flow and maintain line voltage. The UPFC consists of two inverters in parallel side and series side. In parallel side, the reactive power can be compensated to improve the power factor. In series side, the voltage drop can be compensated to maintain proper line voltage. It is necessary for the operation in both sides to output the current and the voltage quickly and accurately. As the method for the UPFC control, the deadbeat control with state observer is applied. The deadbeat control is able to realize a quick response of the current and voltage control for only a sampling period compared with the general PI control. A principle and simulation results are presented in this paper.

In recent years, multilevel technology has become an effective and practical solution in the field of moderate and high voltage applications. This paper discusses an APF with a three-level NPC inverter. Obviously, the application of such converter to APFs is hindered by the problem of the voltage unbalance of DC capacitors, which leads to system instability. This paper comprehensively analyzes the theoretical limitations of the neutral-point voltage balancing problem for tracking different harmonic currents utilizing current switching functions from the space vector PWM (SVPWM) point of view. The fluctuation of the neutral point caused by the load currents of certain order harmonic frequency is reported and quantified. Furthermore, this paper presents a close-loop digital control algorithm of the DC voltage for this APF. A PI controller regulates the DC voltage in the outer-loop controller. In the current-loop controller, this paper proposes a simple neutral-point voltage control method. The neutral-point voltage imbalance is restrained by selecting small vectors that will move the neutral-point voltage in the direction opposite the direction of the unbalance. The experiment results illustrate that the performance of the proposed approach is satisfactory.

This paper presents a discrete state-space controller using state feedback control and feed-forward decoupling to provide a desirable control bandwidth and control stability for dynamic voltage restorers (DVR). The paper initially discusses three typical applications of a DVR. The load-side capacitor DVR topology is preferred because of its better filtering capability. The proposed DVR controller offers almost full controllability because of the multi-feedback of state variables, including one-beat delay feedback. Feed-forward decoupling is usually employed to prevent disturbances of the load current and source voltage. Directly obtaining the feed-forward paths of the load current and source voltage in the discrete domain is a complicated process. Fortunately, the full feed-forward decoupling strategy can be easily applied to the discrete state-space controller by means of continuous transformation. Simulation and experimental results from a digital signal processor-based system are included to support theoretical analysis.

This paper presents a firing angle controller of a thyristor converter for DC power supply using PID controller with parallel data loop to improve the dynamic response. The proposed parallel data loop for firing angle controller of 3-phase semi-converter, generates pre-measured firing angle according to reference voltage and load current. With the approximated firing angle according to operating conditions, the output voltage can fast keep the reference value with small voltage error. And the PID controller compensates the output voltage error from the firing angle of parallel data loop. In order to reduce the sudden changing of the data from current ripple, a simple digital low pass filter is used to determine the output data. The proposed control scheme is verified by the experimental test of a practical 50[A] grade thyristor converter system.

To obtain a robustness which is one of important characteristics needed in servo drive, the sliding mode control method is used as a control strategy. However, the undesired phenomenon of chattering is a serious problem. In this paper, an adaptive chattering alleviation algorithm for variable structure system control is proposed to solve this serious problem. Digital controller using the theory of chattering alleviation control is applied to the position control problem of an induction motor system. Comparisons of this algorithm with other variable structure system control algorithms indicate that the chattering can be alleviated. This controller is implemented using IBM-PC(8088 CPU) which controls current controlled PWM inverter consisted of IGBT as a switching device to drive motor.

Booster is used widely as one of the step-up DC/DC power converter in power conversion process for fuel cell power plant which have the electrical characteristic of the high current density and low cell voltage. In view of control system, booster can be unstable when it is operated in broad operation range because the transfer function of booster has zero in right half plane of s-domain. So for reliable operation, controller must make the system stable in whole working range. In this paper, the two control method such as digital PID control and fuzzy control is studied for booster output voltage regulation in fuel cell plant. The design procedure of PID control and fuzzy control is described. And the experiment of designed controller action is performed in various operation points for controller performance test.

Linear motor is able to produce line movement without rotary-to-line converter at the system required line moving. Thus Linear motor has no gear, screw, belt for line movement. Therefore it has some advantage which decrease friction loss, noise, vibration, maintenance effort and prevent decay of control performance due to backlash. This paper proposes the estimation method of unknown parameters from the BLDC Linear motor and determine the PI controller gain through this estimation. Each control movement that is current, speed, position control, and PWM wave generation is performed on Processor, which is DSP(Digital Signal Processor), having high speed performance. PI theory is adopted to each for controller for control behavior More fast convergence to command position is accomplished by applying the new velocity locus which derived from position error.

A design of a highly stable current-controlled power supply combining the phase-controlled rectifier (PCR), passive filter and active filter is investigated. A digital phase-looked voltage control (PLVC) with a capability of compensating the thyristor firing angles under unvalanced power source is proposed` otherwise the PCR output voltage has low-order subharmonics whose suppression requires a bulky passive filter. The digital PLVC has a fast dynamic characteristics as an inner control loop of the PCR. To suppress further the output ripple, an active filter using a transformer is introduced and its design is described through the frequency domain analysis. An optimal integral, proportional and measurable variable feedback (IPM) controller is designed using the time-weighted performance index based on the time domain analysis. The design method based on the time-weighted performance index gives better response characteristics than that based on the conventional performance index. It is also shown via experimental results that the proposed scheme gives better response characteristics than that based on the conventional performance index. It is also shown via experimental results that the proposed scheme gives good dynamic and static performances.
