This paper presents the simulator system of high-speed elevator system, which can be implemented as 3-mass system as well as equivalent 1-mass system. In order to implement the equivalent inertia of total elevator system, conventional simulator has generally utilized mechanical inertia (flywheel) with large radius, which makes the size and weight of total simulator system large. In addition, the mechanical inertia should be replaced each time in order to test the another elevator system. In this paper, the simulation method using electrical inertia is presented so that the volume and weight of simulator system are greatly reduced and the adjustment of value of the inertia can be achieved easily by software. Experimental results show the feasibility of this simulator system.

In order to convert wave energy into large quantities of high-efficiency power, it is necessary to study the optimal converter system appropriate for the environment of a specific open ocean area. A wave energy converter system with a counterweight converts the translation energy induced from the heave motion of a buoy into rotary energy. This experimental study evaluated the primary energy conversion efficiency of the system, which was installed on an ocean generating basin with a power take-off system. Moreover, this study analyzed the energy conversion performance according to the weight condition of the buoy, counter-weight, and flywheel by changing the load torque and wave period. Therefore, these results could be useful as basic data such as for the optimal design of a wave energy converter with a counterweight and improved energy conversion efficiency.

Nowadays high-cost energy storage system using flywheel or secondary battery is applying to hybrid generation system with WT(Wind Turbine) and diesel generator in island areas for stable operation. This paper proposes an operating algorithm and modeling method of the hybrid generation system that can operate for variable wind speed and load, which is composed of energy storage system, variable-speed PMSG(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator) WT and diesel generator applied in island areas. Initially, the operating algorithm was proposed for frequency and voltage to be maintained within the proper ranges for load and wind speed changes. Also, the modeling method is proposed for variable speed PMSG WT, diesel generator and BESS(Battery Energy Storage System). The proposed operating algorithm and modeling method were applied to a typical island area. The frequency and voltage was kept within the permissible ranges and the proposed method was proven to be appropriate through simulations.

Marine Propulsion shafting system coupled with medium diesel engine forms multi-degree torsional vibration system which consist of many inertia masses such as crank, flywheel, propeller and sometimes gear system is adopted additionally for the purpose of improving propeller's propulsion efficiency or connecting with PTO/PTI. The periodic excitation torques generated by combustion pressure in cylinder and reciprocating masses induce various kinds of vibrations in this shafting system. If the frequency of this excitation torques is equal to the natural frequency of the shafting, the amplitude of the torsional vibration increases steeply and the damage of crankshaft or gears may be occurred by that. This frequency is called critical speed. When making a plan for shafting system, it is important for this frequency to be expected exactly and not to be in commonly used speed. For this reason, this paper introduces the experimental equipment for torsional vibration of marine propulsion shafting system and describes the theoretic and the experimental methods to look for natural frequencies.

As for the marine propulsion shafting system using 4 stroke diesel engine, it is common to apply a reduction gear box between diesel engine and shafting to increase propulsion efficiency, which requires inevitably a certain elastic coupling to avoid chattering and hammering inside of gear box. In this study, the optimum method of rectifying propulsion shafting system in case of 750 ton fishing vessel is theoretically studied in a view of dynamic characteristics of torsion. After the replacement of diesel engine and gear box, the torsional vibration get worse and so some countermeasures are needed. The elastic coupling is modified from a present rubber coupling of block type having relatively high torsional stiffness to a rubber coupling haying two serially connected elements. Torsional vibration damper was installed at crankshaft free end additionally and moment of inertia of flywheel was adjusted. The dynamic characteristics of shafting system was improved by these modification. The theoretical analysis of torsional vibration are compared to measurement results using two laser torsion meters during the sea trial.

Permanent-magnet (PM) passive bearings use the repulsive forces between the rotor and the stator magnets for the bearing function. It is desirable that the stiffness of the bearing is maximized with the given volume of the magnet. The stiffness is affected by the magnet strength, the number of layers, and the magnetization patterns. Previously, finite-element method (FEM) has been used to maximize the stiffness of the bearing. In this paper, we used the equivalent current sheet method to calculate the stiffness. The validity of this approach is checked against FEM results. The optimized bearing is applied to a micro flywheel energy storage system.

The rotational loss is one of the most important problems for the practical use of the high power Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS). This rotational loss is divided as the mechanical loss by windage and bearing and iron loss by hysteresis loop and eddy current in the part of the magnetic field. So, In this paper, a double-sided PMSM/G without the iron loss is designed by analytical method of the magnetic field and estimation of the back-EMF constant represented as the design parameter. This design model consists of the double-sided PM rotor with Halbach magnetized any and coreless 3-phase winding stator. The results show that the double-sided PMSM/G without iron loss can be applicable to the high power FESS.

본 논문에서는 전력 시스템의 저주파 진동을 효율적으로 억제하기 위하여 기존의 PSS 를 이용하는 방법 대신 FESS를 적용하는 방법을 제시하였다. FESS PID 제어기의 최적 파라미터를 선정하기 위하여 GA를 이용한 방법을 제시하였다. 최적화 파라미터 선정시 사용되는 평가함수를 2가지로 선정하여 선정된 파라미터를 이용하여 FESS PID 제어성능을 평가하였다. 다양한 동작 조건하에 몇 가지 외란이 발생한 경우 비선형 시뮬레이션을 통하여 기존의 PSS를 이용한 방법과 동특성을 비교 고찰하였다.

Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) are designed and analyzed for radial superconducting bearings. The designed SFDs are mounted on the superconductors submerged in liquid nitrogen such that the dampers should supply additional damping to the relatively underdamped superconducting bearing support . Basic theory of SFD assembled with superconductors is introduced. Rotordynamic simulations are provided to support the feasibility of the superconducting bearings mounted on SFDs for a horizontal flywheel energy storage system.

풍력발전은 친환경적인 에너지를 사용함에도 불구하고 그 에너지의 불안정성 때문에 실용화가 어렵다. 이를 극복하기 위해 효과적인 에너지 보상시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 유도기를 모티브로 해서 플라이휠을 등가 모델링 한다. 그 후 PSIM을 이용하여 풍력발전기의 지락사고를 설정하고, 플라이휠의 보상 유무에 따른 부하의 과도현상을 살펴보고자 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 안정된 전력보상시스템의 구현찬 수 있었지만, 한편으로는 고조파의 영향이 관찰되었다.
