Leakage current of CMOS circuits has become a major factor in VLSI design these days. Although many circuit-level techniques have been developed, most of them require significant amount of designers' effort and are not aligned well with traditional VLSI design process. In this paper, we focus on technology mapping, which is one of the steps of logic synthesis when gates are selected from a particular library to implement a circuit. We take a radical approach to push the limit of technology mapping in its capability of suppressing leakage current: we use a probabilistic leakage (together with delay) as a cost function that drives the mapping; we consider pin reordering as one of options in the mapping; we increase the library size by employing gates with larger gate length; we employ a new flipflop that is specifically designed for low-leakage through selective increase of gate length. When all techniques are applied to several benchmark circuits, leakage saving of 46% on average is achieved with 45-nm predictive model, compared to the conventional technology mapping.

Traction motors that is one of the rotating machines for urban transit EMU have been subjected to increased demand for higher operating temperature, more demanding duty cycles, higher starting current, frequent voltage transients and severe environmental exposure. With the advent of PWM drives using power IGBTs in addition to the thermal considerations, it is important to take into account the impact of the dielectric stress upon the winding insulation system life. In analyzing the life of the stator winding, which is the heart of the motor, the majority of all winding failures are usually caused by a combination of various stresses acting on the insulation materials and system. In this paper, to evaluate the expected life of traction motor for urban transit E.M.U. it is proposed a new test method of complex accelerating degradation.

After steam turbines in power plant drives generator and maintains it at rated speed using high temperature and high pressure steam energy, they regulate the output of generator when synchronized in parallel with the power system. By the way, as the steam flow into turbine can not be reduced fast even though the electrical load is lost, the turbine gets into dangerous situation due to the increase of its speed. At this time, the duty of the turbine governor is "how to limit the speed within its overspeed trip setpoint and escape from danger." In order to implement this purpose, there are various ways different from valve position control. So, in this paper, the various methods for overspeed protection are introduced in comparison with valve position control.

The bogie of monorail vehicles applies rubber wheel system not steel wheel system. In addition, The structure of the bogie is very complicated because vehicle operates on the elevated road and vehicle drives with wrapping the guide way. When the monorail vehicle applies air brake system, lower device of vehicle may be complex and some devices may be limited. On the other hand, hydraulic brake equipment is compact and not weighing. Braking force is also outstanding compared with air brake so the hydraulic brake equipment is suitable for monorail vehicle. Also urban transit system such as monorail, applies mixed system both friction brake and electric brake in order to save electric energy. But application case of hydraulic brake in the country is very rare because hydraulic brake have difficulty in satisfaction of control requirement and maintenance. Therefore, this study suggests ways to design hydraulic brake system with blending brake for monorail vehicle and applies the ways to future monorail.

This paper describes the dynamical performance of a four-quadrant circulation current mode control of dc motor drive, using the controlled flywleeling technique, a four-quadrant closed-loop control drive with an inner current control loop and a speed fuzzy PI regulator is designed. The obtained computer simulation results of a dc motor drive below and above the base speed are demonstrated. These result show that compare to a conventional dual-converter-fed dc motor drive with simultaneous control, the overal system performance has been improved and also, agood stability and robstness has been achieved.

This paper presents a new approach to the automatic control of the turn-off angle used to excite the Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) employed in electric vehicles (EV). The controller selects the turn-off angle that supports and improves the performance of the motor drive system. This control scheme consisting of classical current control and speed control depends on a lookup table to take the best result of the motor. The turn-on angle of the main switches of the inverter is fixed at $0^{\circ}C$ and the turn-off angle is variable depending on the reference speed. The motor, inverter and control system are modeled in Simulink to demonstrate the operation of the system.

This paper proposes a method for comparing and evaluating anti-windup proportional-integral (PI) control strategies. The so-called PI plane is used and its coordinate is composed of the error and the integral state. In addition, an anti-windup PI controller with integral state prediction is proposed. The anti-windup scheme can be easily analyzed and evaluated on the PI plane in detail. Representative anti-windup methods are experimentally applied to the speed control of a vector-controlled induction motor driven by a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage-source inverter (VSI). The experimental results compare the anti-windup PI controllers. It is empathized that the initial value of the integral state at the beginning of the linear range dominates the control performance in terms of overshoot and settling time.

In order to drive motor control system precisely, the motor is to be controlled by mmfs and current with sinusoidal waveforms. In this paper the Delta Modulation (DM) Technique is used for generating PWM pulse with sinusoidal waveform. However the motor currents yet contain odd harmonics due to leakage inductances, speed and exitation. To reduce harmonics, the parameter adaptive control method is introduced. That is, Req.C parameter of Delta Modulator is controlled adaptively by parameter adaptor. The adaptive signal is achieved by the difference between motor current and reference waveform, and this signal is converted to the voltage commend signal by adaptive mechanism. The test reslts show that this system is operated smoothly over a wide range of motor speed and motor current is controlled to be sinusoidal waveform adaptively.

This paper proposes to position and speed control of interior Permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) drive without mechanical sensor. Also, this paper develops a adaptive fuzzy controller based fuzzy logic control for high performance of PMSM drives. In the proposed system, fuzzy control is used to implement the direct controller as well as the adaptation mechanism. A Gopinath observer is used for the mechanical state estimation of the motor. The observer was developed based on nonlinear model of IPMSM, that employs a d-q rotating reference frame attached to the rotor. A Gopinath observer is implemented to compute the speed and position feedback signal. The validity of the proposed scheme is confirmed by various response characteristics.
