This paper describes the on-line readymixed concrete production system using CAN network, which is a leading industrial control network. The CAN network interface circuits for moisture sensor and load cell sensor we designed for CAN network of readymixed concrete production system, respectively, and also the method for networking 2-states devices such as limit switch and lamp is suggested. The operating status of a overall remicon production system is monitored, and also the system is controlled with host computer through the network. The CAN network interface method is applied to the real readymixed concrete production system to verify the performance of proposed method.

A novel neuro controller based simple neuro-structure with modified error function is introduced in this paper. This controller consists of two independent controllers, known as the voltage regulator and the angular controller. The voltage regulator is used to modify terminal voltage for the purpose of tracking a reference voltage. The angular controller is utilized to guarantee the stability of the system. In this structure each neuron uses a linear hard limit activation function that depends on the controlled variable and its derivatives. There is no need for parameter identification or any off-line training data. Two proposed controllers are merged by a smooth switch to build a complete controller. The effectiveness of the proposed novel control action is demonstrated through some computer simulations on a Single-Machine Infinite-Bus (SMIB) power system.

The function of main starting valve for marine engine is to supply cylinder with the air to start marine engine. But, if the spindle, one of the main starting valve components, doesn't rotate accurately at the designated air pressure, the marine engine may have some trouble in starting. So, to resolve the problem due to spindle .elation in the main starting valve, the blocking device (blocking plate, limit switch, etc.) is installed in the upper part of spindle to constrain the rotation. So, in this paper we introduced the rotation constraining ability of blocking plate prevent the spindle from mis-working in the main starting value of the marine engine.

This paper describes a detailed performance analysis of TCSC using experiment with a scaled model. A 3-phase scaled model of TCSC was built with rating of 2kVA to verify the operation. The variable reactance of TCSC with respect to the firing angle of thyristor switch analyzed theoretically and experimentally. And the limit of TCSC operation was investigated in whole range of the thyristor firing-angle. The experimental results with scaled model were compared with the simulation results for a periodic state space model using MATLAB.

This paper presents the design of zero current switching ZCS pulse frequency modulation type DC-DC converter for magnetron power supply. A magnetron serving as the microwave source in a microwave oven is driven by a switch mode power supply (SMPS). SMPSs have the advantages of improved efficiency, reduced size and weight, regulation and the ability to operate directly from the converter DC bus. The demands of the load system and the design of the power supply required to produce constant power at 4[kV]. A magnetron power supply requires the ability to limit the load current under short circuit conditions. The current source series resonant converter is a circuit configuration which can achieve this. The main features of the proposed converter are an inherent protection against a short circuit at the output, a high voltage gain and zero current switching over a large range of output power. These characteristics make it a viable choice for the implementation of a high voltage magnetron power supply.

A new current controlled PWM technique with NPC structure is proposed in this paper. A current controlled PWM technique with neutral-point-clamped pulse-width modulation inverter composed of main switching devices which operates as switch for PWM and auxiliary switching devices to clamp the output terminal potential to the neutral point potential is described. The proposed current controller has a first and second current band. The switching pattern will be made by the first current band. According to the second current band, the output state of the switching pattern is changed into positive and negative state. This inverter output contains less harmonic content and lower switching frequency than that of conventional current controlled PWM technique at the same current limit. Two inverters are compared analytically and the performance is investigated by the computer simulation.

This paper deals with output voltage characteristics analysis of outage and phase jump generator. As soon as the outage occurs the STS(Solid Transfer Switch)s are switched off. At the beginning of the outage the DG is required to limit the reverse current within the rated DG output current. In case of phase jump the DG output voltage phase should be adjusted with PLL. Simulation results show the output voltage characteristics of the generator.

Currently, the commonly used method for PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) Inverter of the Solar Power Plant. However, the limit of the developing performance to the non-linear and switch devices of the Inverter. Therefore, we propose a model predictive control techniques applied to Laguerre functions. LMPC(Laguerre functions model predictive control) reduces the number of computations made and so online implementation becomes possible where traditional MPC would have fail. In this paper, we comment on the appropriate scope and functions degree of the LMPC inverter control. The simulation results from MATLAB are also provided.

This paper presents a high efficiency coupled inductor boost DC-DC converter that uses a simple clamp circuit and the coupled inductor and thus overcomes output voltage limit of the conventional boost converter. The proposed converter solves problems of voltage stress of the power semiconductor switch and reverse recovery of the output diode using a simple clamp circuit composed of a diode and a capacitor, and thus the converter improves its total efficiency. In this paper, the operational principle of the proposed converter is explained by each mode and then a design example for the prototype converter based on the explanation is shown. And good performance of the proposed converter is verified through experimental results of the prototype converter that is implemented with the designed circuit parameters.

A new passive lossless snubber for boost converter based on magnetic coupling is proposed. It is composed of a winding coupled with boost inductor, one snubber inductor, two snubber capacitor and three additional diodes. Especially, the snubber inductor can not only limit the reverse recovery current of output diode but also minimize switch turn-on losses greatly. Moreover, all of the energy stored in the snubber is transferred to the load in the manner of resonance. To confirm the validity of proposed system, theoretical analysis, design consideration, and verification of experimental results are presented.
