A small-signal low-frequency disturbance of the input line affects the regulated-output voltage of the series resonant converter. To mitigate the detrimental effect, the output feedback PI-controller is employed. Small-signal linear models are represented to characterize the closed loop series resonant converter system. Design equations for the PI-controller which satisfy stability and percent ripple conditions are derived from the closed-loop linear model. Experimental results are presented which show excellent correlation with theory.

A new RMRAC scheme far the PMSM current regulation is proposed in a synchronous frame, which is completely free from the parameter's uncertainty. A current regulator of PMSM is the inner most loop of electromechanical driving systems and plays a foundation role in the control hierarchy. When the PMSM runs in high speed, the cross-coupling terms must be compensated precisely for large system BW. In the proposed RMRAC, the input signal is composed of a calculated voltage defined by MRAC law and an output of the disturbance compensator. The gains of feed forward and feedback controller are estimated by the proposed modified gradient method, where the system disturbances are assumed as filtered current regulation errors. After the compensation of the system disturbance from error information, the corresponding voltage is fed forward to control input to compensate for real disturbances. The proposed method robustly compensates the system disturbance and cross-coupling terms. It also shows a good realtime performance due to the simplicity of control structure. Through real experiments, the efficiency of the proposed method is verified.

In this paper, a new on-line dead-time compensation method is proposed. The output voltage errors due to the dead-time effect is considered as disturbance voltages. The magnitude of the disturbance voltages is estimated using a time delay control technique and the disturbance voltages are calculated using the estimated values, measured currents, and position information. The calculated disturbance voltages are fed to voltage references in order to compensate the dead-time effect. The proposed method is applied to a PM synchronous motor drive system and implemented in a digital manner using a digital signal processor (DSP) TMS320C31. The experiments are carried out for this system to show the effectiveness of the proposed method and the results show the validity of the proposed method.

A power quality improvement scheme for grid connected inverters, even in the presence of the disturbances in grid voltages due to harmonic distortions and three-phase imbalance, is presented for distributed generation (DG) power systems. The control objective is to force the inverter currents to follow their references with robustness even under external disturbances in grid voltages. The proposed scheme is realized by a disturbance observer (DOB) based current control scheme. Since the uncertainty in a system can be effectively canceled out using an estimated disturbance by the DOB, the resultant system behaves like a closed-loop system consisting of a disturbance-free nominal model. For experimental verification, a 2 kVA laboratory prototype of a grid connected inverter has been built using a digital signal processor (DSP) TMS320F28335. Through comparative simulations and experimental results under grid disturbances such as harmonic distortion and imbalance, the effectiveness of the proposed DOB based current control scheme is demonstrated.

In this study, the dynamic characteristic of a contact wire and pantograph suppling electrical power to high-speed trains are investigated from an electrical response point of view. To analysis power line disturbance by induced contact loss phenomenon for high speed operation, a hardware Simulator which considered contact loss between contact wire and the pantograph as well as contact wire deviation is developed. It is confirmed that a contact wire and pantograph model are necessary for studying the dynamic behavior of the pantograph system. One of the most important needs accompanied by increasing the speed of high-speed train is reduced that an arc phenomenon by loss of contact brings out EMI. In case of a high-speed train using electrical power, as comparison with diesel rolling stock, PLD(Power Line Disturbance) such as harmonic, transient voltage and current, EMI, dummy signal injection etc usually occurs. Throughout experiment, it is verified that an arc phenomenon is brought out for simulator operation and consequently conducted noise is flowed in electric circuit by power line disturbance.

Ramp metering is one of the most efficient and widely used control methods for an intelligent transportation management system on a freeway. Its objective is to control and upgrade freeway traffic by regulating the number of vehicles entering the freeway entrance ramp, in such a way that not only the alleviation of the congestion but also the smoothing of the traffic flow around the desired density level can be achieved for the maintenance of the maximum mainline throughput. When the cycle of the signal detection is larger than that of the system process, the density tracking problem needs to be considered in the form of the discrete-time system. Therefore, a discrete-time sliding mode control method is proposed for the ramp metering problem in the presence of both input constraint in the on-ramp and exogenous disturbance in the off-ramp considering the random behavior of the driver. Simulations were performed using a validated second-order macroscopic traffic flow model in Matlab environment and the simulation results indicate that proposed control method can achieve better performance than previously well-known ALINEA strategy in the sense that mainstream flow throughput is maximized and congestion is alleviated even in the presence of input constraint and exogenous disturbance.

In order to achieve the zero voltage regulation of the output voltage, the function control law will be used. In the previous function control law, only the proportional controller is used and the stability of the closed loop system was not analyzed. In this paper, for the realization of the control law, a new method to retrieve the low frequency component of the inductor voltage is proposed and analyzed. The large signal closed loop characteristics are alos analyzed to ensure the stable operation of the system disturbances. By using the function control law in the control system, the effect of the disturbance of the supply voltage is reduced in 93.3% for the direct dusty ration method. Also, in the effect of the disturbance of the load current, the output voltage has a logn recovery-time and is changed proportionally in the direct duty ratio method, but has stable in the function control law. Finally, the analysis shows that the disturbance of the output voltage being due to the supply voltage variation can be eliminated completely and the closed loop output voltage is insensitive to the disturbance of the load current. Therefore, it is proved that by using the function control law, the switching power supply with zero-voltage regulation output voltage can be realized.

One of the major issues in inertial and magnetic measurement unit (IMMU)-based 3D orientation estimation is compensation for magnetic disturbances in magnetometer signals, as the magnetic disturbance is a major cause of inaccurate yaw estimation. In the proposed approach, a kinematic constraint is used to provide a measurement equation in addition to the accelerometer and magnetometer signals to mitigate the disturbance effect on the orientation estimation. Although a Kalman filter (KF) is the most popular framework for IMMU-based orientation estimation, a complementary filter (CF) has its own advantages over KF in terms of mathematical simplicity and ease of implementation. Accordingly, this paper introduces a quaternion-based CF with a constraint-combined correction equation. Furthermore, the weight of the constraint relative to the magnetometer signal is adjusted to adapt to magnetic environments to optimally deal with the magnetic disturbance. In the results of our validation experiments, the average and maximum of yaw errors were $1.17^{\circ}$ and $1.65^{\circ}$ from the proposed CF, respectively, and $8.88^{\circ}$ and $14.73^{\circ}$ from the conventional CF, respectively, showing the superiority of the proposed approach.

This study was to analyze the difference in pilot error by using the Signal Detection Theory. The task was to detect the targeted aircraft(signal) which is different shape from many other aircraft(noise). From the two experiments, we differentiated the task difficulty followed by change in noise stimuli. Experiment 1 was to search the signal stimuli(fighter plane) while the noise stimuli(cargo plane) were increasing. The results from the Experiment 1 showed the tendency to decrease the hit rate by increasing the number of noise stimuli. However, the false alarm rate was not increased. The sensitivity(d') showed quite high. In Experiment 2, a disturbance stimulus(helicopter) was added to noise stimuli. The result was generally similar to those of Experiment 1. However, the hit rate was lower than that of Experiment 1.

Modern power grids are becoming more and more stressed with the load demands increasing continually. Therefore large stressed power systems exhibit complicated dynamic behavior when subjected to small disturbance. Especially, it is needed to analyze special conditions which make small signal stability structure varied according to operating conditions. This paper shows that the relation between small signal stability structure varied according to operating conditions. This paper shows that the relation between small signal stability and operating conditions can be identified well using node-focus point and 1:1 resonance point. Also, the weak point which limits operating range is found by the analysis of resonance condition, and it is shown that reactive power compensation may solve the problem in the weak points. The proposed method is applied to test systems, and the results illustrate its capabilities.
