The Cycloconverter that the author is going to treat in this paper, has strong advantages over the D.C. Link Inverter in points of chattering torque problem and natural commutation. Thus, the Cycloconverter is expected to be well applied to large and low-speed machines which require better speed control at low frequency. But the control circuit of Cycloconverter has two weak points described as follows. 1) Because of its rather complicated control circuit, it is likely to be illoperating due to unexpected noise signals, thus the higher the accuracy and reliability of the circuit is required to be, the more the circuit may cost. 2) Because the load current is not purely sinusoidal, the Cycloconverter may possibly be destroyed in case of inaccurate convert switching resulted from the difficulties in detecting the load current-zero and the current direction at the moment. In this paper, the author first of all intends to design and build a modified VVVF-type Noncirculating Current Cycloconverter to which recently proposed control methods are applied for improving the circuit simplicity, the control performance, and the system reliability. And then, experiments for observing the output waveforms of the Cycloconverter which is controlled by Singled-Board Computer using 8086 16-bit microprocesser are carried out. Finally the author concludes the result of this study as follows. 1) By replacing the conventional analog control circuits such as Reference Wave Generator, Cosine Timing Wave Generator, and Comparator with softwares, a great circuit simplicity is achieved. 2) The output of the designed Cycloconverter changes its frequency very fast without showing discontinuity of its waveform, and this waveform characteristics enables the smooth speed control of Induction Motor. 3) The design control circuit of Cycloconverter can be applied to the systems of 12 or 24 pulses because of its short processing period.

인버터형 가변속 압축기를 사용한 냉각기를 최적으로 제어하기 위한 선행 연구이며, 외기온도를 변화 시켰을 경우 압축기의 회전수 변화와 전자팽창밸브의 개도 변화가 전체 시스템에 미치는 영향에 대해 실험적으로 규명하였다. 외기온도 $35^{\circ}C$와 외기온도 $30^{\circ}C$의 30Hz에서는 제어 시 피해야할 영역으로 판단됨을 확인할 수 있었으며, 압축기 회전수 제어로 인한 용량 제어범위는 외기온도 $35^{\circ}C$에서의 약 43~100%, 외기온도 $25^{\circ}C$에서는 46~100%, 외기온도 $10^{\circ}C$에서는 48~100%로 외기온도가 낮아질수록 용량제어범위는 작아짐을 알 수 있었다.

This study applies the selective harmonic elimination (SHE) technique to design and operate a regulated AC/DC/AC power supply suitable for maritime military applications and underground trains. The input is a single 50/60 Hz AC voltage, and the output is a 400 Hz regulated voltage. The switching angles for a multi-level inverter and transformer turns ratio are determined to operate with special connected transformers with equal power ratings and produce an almost sinusoidal current. As a result of its capability of directly controlling harmonics, the SHE technique is applicable to apparatus with congenital immunity to specific harmonics, such as series-connected transformers, which are specially designed to equally share the total load power. In the present work, a single-phase 50/60 Hz input source is rectified via a semi-controlled bridge rectifier to control DC voltage levels and thereby regulate the output load voltage at a constant level. The DC-rectified voltage then supplies six single-phase quazi-square H-bridge inverters, each of which supplies the primary of a single-phase transformer. The secondaries of the six transformers are connected in series. Through off-line calculation, the switching angles of the six inverters and the turns ratios of the six transformers are designed to ensure equal power distribution for the transformers. The SHE technique is also employed to eliminate the higher-order harmonics of the output voltage. A digital implementation is carried out to determine the switching angles. Theoretical results are demonstrated, and a scaled-down experimental 600 VA prototype is built to verify the validity of the proposed system.

The trend of the regulations on environmental issues are getting tight. Responding to this trend new technologies such as moving electrodes, wide pitch and pulsed power supply are also introduced in the electrostatic precipitator(EP) systems. The introduction of wide pitch and moving electrodes enhances the system performance of the EPs by improving air-flow and by improving the ash reentrainment on rapping. The power supplies for the EPs developed up to date include thyristor-based dc or intermittent type, SMPS(switching mode power supply) type and the pulsed-power supply type. The use of the pulsed ones is known to improve dust-collecting efficiency of high resistivity ash and reduces back corona occurrence in the collecting plate. There are two kinds of pulsed-power supplies; one with pulsed transformers and the other with direct dc switching devices. The latter uses rotary spark gap switches or semiconductor switches. Both have the merits and demerits: the spark gap switches are simple and robust but has short life time, hence, high maintenance cost, whereas the semiconductor switches have long life time but are costly. In this study, A high voltage power supply with superimposing voltage pulse on dc source was developed for EPs. This study describes circuit topology, operating principle of the scheme, and analysis of experimental results on Dong-Hae Power Plant. The pulsed power supply consists of a variable dc power supply with ratings of 60kV, 800mA and pulse generator which is made of high voltage thyristor-diode switch strings, an LC resonant tank and a blocking inductor. The pulse generator generates variable pulse-voltage up to 70kV using a high frequency resonant inverter with a variable dc source. Two prototypes were built and tested on 250MW DongHae power plant to verify the possibility of the commercial use and the normal operation in the transient states.

The current paper presents a novel control strategy of a three-phase, four-wire Unified Power Quality (UPQC) to improve power quality. The UPQC is realized by the integration of series and shunt active power filters (APF) sharing a common dc bus capacitor. The realization of shunt APF is carried out using a three-phase, four-leg Voltage Source Inverter (VSI), and the series APF is realized using a three-phase, three-leg VSI. To extract the fundamental source voltages as reference signals for series APF, a zero-crossing detector and sample-and-hold circuits are used. For the control of shunt APF, a simple scheme based on the real component of fundamental load current (I $Cos{\Phi}$) with reduced numbers of current sensors is applied. The performance of the applied control algorithm is evaluated in terms of power-factor correction, source neutral current mitigation, load balancing, and mitigation of voltage and current harmonics in a three-phase, four-wire distribution system for different combinations of linear and non-linear loads. The reference signals and sensed signals are used in a hysteresis controller to generate switching signals for shunt and series APFs. In this proposed UPQC control scheme, the current/voltage control is applied to the fundamental supply currents/voltages instead of fast-changing APF currents/voltages, thus reducing the computational delay and the required sensors. MATLAB/Simulink-based simulations that support the functionality of the UPQC are obtained.

The gas turbine static starter rotates the stationary synchronous machine by the interaction of the rotor and the stator. The detection from the initial position of the rotor has been an important issue to drive with optimum torque. Previously, the gas turbine starter was used by attaching the encoder to the synchronous machine, but the position and velocity of the rotor have been estimated by sensor-less method until recently due to the difficulty in attaching and detaching and damage caused by the shaft voltage noise. In this paper, Rotor initial(stationary state) position estimation, forced commutation control(speed less than 10%), and natural commutation control(speed more than 10%) method using magnetic flux with integrated terminal voltage were presented and the sensor-less speed control performance was verified. As a result of making and evaluating the 29 kVA synchronous machine and the starting device, the performance of each control mode was satisfactory. Furthermore, the applied technology is expected to be used for the development of the gas turbine starter of tens of MW class and the field application.

본 논문은 플래너 버스바가 적용된 BLDC 전동기 드라이브 시스템에서, 직류단 캐패시터 전단 전류를 이용한 BLDC 전동기의 상전류 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 플래너 버스바는 기생 인덕턴스의 크기를 최소화하여 스위칭 시 스파크에 의한 소자 파손을 방지하고, EMC (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility) 특성을 향상시킨다. 하지만 플래너 버스바의 장점을 극대화하기 위해서는 직류단 캐패시터의 전단에 전류 센서를 설치할 수밖에 없는 구조적 제약이 따른다. 직류단 캐패시터 전단에 설치된 전류 센서는 캐패시터에 흐르는 전류와 인버터 입력전류의 합을 측정하게 된다. 따라서 직류단 캐패시터 전단 전류로부터 인버터의 입력전류를 정확하게 추출하는 것이 BLDC 전동기의 전류 제어를 위해서는 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 BLDC 전동기의 온/오프 구간 동안의 등가 회로를 분석하여 캐패시터 전단 전류로부터 인버터 입력전류를 추정하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 실험을 통해 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

LTPS TFT의 개발과 성능 향상은 패널에 다양한 디지털 회로를 내장하는 SOP의 비약적 발전에 기여하였다. 본 논문에서는 일반적으로 적용되는 낮은 성능의 CMOS 논리게이트를 대체할 수 있는 전류모드 논리(CML) 게이트의 설계 방법을 소개한다. CML 인버터는 낮은 로직스윙, 빠른 응답 특성을 갖도록 설계할 수 있음을 보였으며 높은 소비전력의 단점도 동작 속도가 높아질수록 CMOS의 경우와 근사해졌다. 아울러 전류 구동능력을 키울 필요가 없는 까닭에 많은 수의 소자가 사용되지만 면적은 오히려 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 비반전 및 반전 출력이 동시에 생성되므로 noise immunity가 우수하다. 다수 입력을 갖는 NAND/AND 및 NOR/OR 게이트는 같은 회로에 입력신호를 바꾸어 구현할 수 있고 MUX와 XNOR/XOR 게이트도 같은 회로를 사용하여 구현할 수 있음을 보였다. 결론적으로 CML 게이트는 다양한 함수를 단순한 몇가지의 회로로 구성할 수 있으며 낮은 소비전력, 적은 면적, 개선된 동작속도 등을 동시에 추구할 수 있는 대안임을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 인버터 압축기를 적용한 3실형 멀티-열펌프 시스템의 냉방운전 시 시스템의 성능특성을 조사하였다. 시스템의 운전특성은 항온항습 기능을 가진 공기엔탈피방식의 칼로리미터를 이용하여 측정되었으며, 냉방표준 및 냉방저온 온도조건에서 실내기 조합에 따른 실험이 수행되었다. 3실형 열펌프의 실내기 조합운전에 따른 냉방 표준운전 및 냉방저온운전 시의 냉방능력, COP, P-h선도로부터, 3실형 열펌프의 운전특성과 냉방사이클의 거동을 이해하였다. 열펌프의 운전부하와 성능은 실내기 조합에 의존하므로 시스템의 능력과 사이클의 거동은 다르게 관찰되었다. 과냉도 증가와 압축일의 감소로 표준조건보다 저온조건에서 냉방능력과 COP가 더 높았다. 또한 P-h 선도를 이용하여 사이클의 운전특성도 분석하였다.
