Most of the LV customer have been applied the distribution system of 3-phase four wire system because of its advantage of supplying both of 1-phase & 3-phase loads simultaneously. Due to its structural simplicity, it is more convenient for use rather than the conventional separated scheme. But uneven load distribution or unclean voltage quality has occurred various problems such as de-rating, losses increase and vibration, etc. In this paper, voltage, current and power waveform in the actual fields have measured and analyzed in relation with internationally allowable voltage unbalance limits and compared the current unbalance factor with the load unbalance factor.

This paper proposed an unified dual-phase-shift (UDPS) control for dual active bridge (DAB) converters in order to improve efficiency for a wide output power range. Different operating modes of UDPS are characterized with respect to the reactive current distribution. The proposed UDPS has the same output power capability with conventional phase-shift (CPS) method. Furthermore, its implementation is simple since only the change of the leading phase-shift direction is required for different operating power range. The proposed UDPS control can minimize both the inductor rms current and the circulating reactive current for various voltage conversion ratios and load conditions. The optimal phase-shift pairs for two bridges of DAB converter are derived with respect to the comprehensive reactive power loss model, including the reactive components delivered from the load and back to the source. Simulation and experimental results are illustrated and explained with details. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in terms of reactive power losses minimization and efficiency improvement.

Power requirement to the induction heating system varies during the heating process. A closed loop control is required to have a smooth control over the power. In this work, a constant frequency pulse density modulation based power tracking control scheme for domestic induction heating system is developed using the Fuzzy Logic Controller. In the conventional power modulation schemes, the switching losses increase with the change in the load. The proposed pulse density modulation scheme maintains minimum switching losses for the entire load range. This scheme is implemented for the class-D series resonant inverter system. Fuzzy logic controller based power tracking control scheme is developed for domestic induction heating power supply for various power settings. The open loop and closed loop simulation studies are done using the MATLAB/Simulink simulation tool. The control logic is implemented in hardware using the PIC16F877A microcontroller. Fuzzy controller tracks the set power by changing the pulse density of the gate pulses applied to the inverter. The results obtained are used to know the effectiveness of the fuzzy logic controller to achieve the set power.

This paper presents the application of a single phase AC-to-DC converter using a three-phase series parallel (SPRC) resonant converter to variable speed dc-drive. The improved power quality converter gives the input power factor unity over a wide speed range, reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of ac input supply current, and makes very low ripples in the armature current and voltage waveform. This soft-switching converter not only possesses the advantages of achieving high switching frequencies with practically zero switching losses but also provides full ranges of voltage conversion and load variation. The proposed drive system is the most appropriate solution to preserve the present separately excited de motors in industry compared with the use of variable frequency ac drive technology. The simulation and experimental results are presented for variable load torque conditions. The variable frequency control scheme is implemented using a DSP- TMS320LF2402. This control reduces the switching losses and current ripples, eliminates the EMI and improves the efficiency of the drive system. Experimental results confirm the consistency of the proposed approach.

It is necessary to accurately predict converter losses for optimized design of a high-power DC-DC converter. The losses of switching devices and inductor among the elements of the converter take significantly greater proportion. The current ripple will be determined by the size of the inductance and this inductance value varies depending on the DC amount of inductor current. As the inductance changes according to load current, the change influences not only the inductor loss itself but also the total converter loss. In this paper, for more accurate design of a bi-directional DC-DC converter for 30kW-class energy storage system, more accurate computational model is proposed considering inductance variation according to the load current change. The inductance changes using variable magnetic cores are verified and converter efficiency is tested through simulations and experiments.

PWM컨버터 차량은 전압벡터제어방식에 의해 부하역률 1.0에 가까운 운전이 가능하므로 기존 저역률의 위상제어방식 차량에 비해 급전선로 전압강하 측면에서 우수한 부하특성을 나타낸다. 그러나 이 경우에도 급 전구간 내의 운전밀도가 높거나 연장급전 구간에서는 선로손실의 증가 및 전압강하 현상이 심각한 수준으로 나타날 수 있다. 본 논문은 PWM컨버터 차량의 역률을 1.0으로 고정하여 운행하는 대신 차량의 운전 조건에 따라 가변적으로 최적 제어함으로써 급전선로의 손실을 최소화 하고 전압 프로파일을 개선하는 방법을 기술하였다. 제시된 방법은 동일 급전구간 내에 운행중인 차량을 대상으로 최대 경사법에 의해 선로의 무효전력손실이 최소화되는 개별 차량의 무효전력 보상량을 결정하게 되며, 이 방법을 표본 계통에 대해 시뮬레이션 한 결과 선로손실의 감소와 함께 전압 프로파일도 상당한 수준으로 개선됨을 알 수 있었다.

Automotive fuel efficiency regulations and air pollution control are hot issues of recent years in the automotive industry. To solve these regulation problems, many studies are continuing to improve the transmission efficiency of transmissions. Tapered roller bearings are useful to improve the transmission efficiency in the recent automobile parts. The frictional losses in the tapered roller bearings are mainly composed of the rolling friction and the sliding friction, and are dependent upon the load, the lubrication, the rotation speed of bearings, and etc. In this paper, the operating conditions of the transmission are defined and then the power losses of each bearing are calculated. In addition, improvement options are suggested after identifying the design factors influenced much by the improvement effect of power loss under the operating conditions of each bearing. We compare the power losses of the entire transmission system due to bearing improvements by comparing the friction losses between the original design and the improved design. Lastly, it is shown that the calculated power losses are valid by comparing the test values and the theoretical values for the frictional torque characteristics of the original and improved bearings.

본 연구에서는 터보과급기의 성능을 저해하는 주요 인자 중 하나인 마찰손실에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실제 엔진에서 빈번하게 사용되는 저속 구간에서의 승용차용 터보과급기의 마찰손실 측정 장치를 개발하고, 30,000~90,000rpm의 저속 영역에서 작동하는 터보과급기의 마찰손실을 측정하였다. 플로팅 베어링 타입의 승용차용 터보과급기를 실험 대상으로 선정하였으며, 마찰손실 측정 장치는 구동 모터, 오일 공급 시스템, 커플링으로 구성되었다. 실제 차량의 저속 운전 상황을 모사할 수 있도록 설계, 제작되었고, 회전속도, 오일 온도 및 압력을 실험 변수로 선정하였다. 또한, 마찰손실 측정 장치는 로드셀을 사용하여 발생하는 마찰 토크를 직접 측정하여 마찰손실을 산출하였으며, 마그네틱 커플링을 통해 구동 모터의 동력을 터보과급기 축에 전달하고, 오일 공급 시스템을 오일 온도 및 압력을 조절하였다. 온도 $60^{\circ}C$와 $90^{\circ}C$, 압력 4bar의 오일을 공급하는 상태에서 터보과급기가 회전수 30,000~90,000rpm으로 작동할 때 터보과급기 회전속도 증가할 때 마찰손실은 증가하며, 대략적으로 과급기 회전속도의 1.4~1.8 지수승에 비례함을 보이고 있다. 또한 오일온도가 $60^{\circ}C$에서 $90^{\circ}C$로 증가할 때 마찰손실은 최소 41%, 최대 63% 감소하였다.

This paper presents a scheme for the interconnection of dispersed generator systems(DGs) based on load .unbalance and load model in composite distribution systems. Groups of each individual load model consist of residential, industrial, commercial, official and agricultural load. The unbalance is involved with many single-phase line segment. . Voltage profile improvement and system loss minimization by installation of DGs depend greatly on how they are placed and operated in the distribution systems. So, DGs can reduce distribution real power losses and replace large-scale generators if they are placed appropriately in the distribution systems. The main idea of solving fuzzy goal programming is to transform the original objective function and constraints into the equivalent multi-objectives functions with fuzzy sets to evaluate their imprecise nature for the criterion of power loss minimization, the number or total capacity of DGs and the bus voltage deviation, and then solve the problem using genetic algorithm. The method proposed is applied to IEEE 13 bus and 34 bus test systems to demonstrate its effectiveness.
