Hysteresis current control is one of the simplest techniques used to control currents for high speed drive systems, because of its simplicity of implementation, fast current control response, and inherent peak current limiting capability. However the conventional fixed-band hysteresis control has a variable switching frequency throughout the fundamental period, and consequently the load current harmonics spreaded on the wide frequency range. In this paper, a simple, novel alterative approach is proposed for a variable-hysteresis band current controller which uses feedback techniques to achieve constant switching frequency with good dynamic response. The method is easily implemented in hardware, the resultant controller is easily tuned to a particular load, and has good immunity to variation in PV parameter and dc supply voltage.

In this paper, a single current sensor technique (SCST) is proposed for single-phase full-bridge inverters. The proposed SCST measures the currents of multiple branches at the same time, and reconstructs the average inductor, capacitor, and load current in a single switching cycle. Since all of the branches' current in the LC filter and the load are obtained using the SCST, both the inductor and the capacitor current feedback schemes can be selectively applied while taking advantages of each other. This paper also analyzes both of the current feedback schemes from the view point of the closed-loop output impedance. The proposed SCST and the analysis in this paper are verified through experiments on a 3kVA single-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

This paper presents the design and the optimal control method of current-fed half-brige switching regulator. To achieve fast response load current variation is fed to control input, and simple optimal control model has been derived with provision of current control loop in the control circuit. Test results show that the control system model is correct and 5ms response time has been obtained at 25 KHz switching frequency.

In this paper, a new fully digital current control method of UPS inverter, which is based on an internal model control, is proposed. In the proposed control system, overshoots and oscillations due to the computation time-delay are compensated by explicit incorporation of the time-delay in the current control loop transfer function. The internal model controller is adopted to a second order deadbeat reference-to-output response which means that its response reaches the reference in two sampling time including computational time-delays. That is, the average current of filter capacitor is been exactly equal to the reference current with a time lag of two sampling intervals. Therefore, this method has an essentially overshoot free reference-to-output response with a minimum possible rise time. The effectiveness of the proposed control system has been verified by the simulation and experimental respectively. From the simulation and experimental results, the proposed system is achieved the robust characteristics to the calculation time delay and parameter variation as well as very fast dynamic performance, thus it can be effectively applied to the power supply for the critical load.

This paper presents a new current sharing control strategy for parallel-connected, synchronised three-phase DC-AC converters employing space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) without current sharing reactors. Unlike conventional control methods, the proposed method breaks the paths of the circulating current by dividing the switching cycle evenly between parallel connected equally rated converters. Accordingly, any inter-module reactors or circulating current control will be redundant, leading to reductions in system costs, size, and control algorithm complexity. Each converter in the new scheme employs a synchronous dq current regulator that uses only local information to attain a desired converter current. A stability analysis of the current controller is included together with a simulation of the converter and load current waveforms. Experimental results from a 2.5kVA test rig are included to verify the proposed control method.

This paper is presented real-time digital control techniques of the PWM inverter for UPS. This proposed system is based on instantaneous digital control scheme which is empolyed double dead beat control and prediction method. Especially, to supply the load current from the inverter without the computation delay, the predictive methods are used to generate the load current signal. From the simulation and experimental results, it is shown that presented scheme has good performance such as very low THD of the output voltage, and good dynamic response under the nonlinear load. The experimental implementation of the system is estabilished by using the TMS320C25 DSP.

The torque of SRM is developed by phase currents and inductance variation. Phase currents and inductance variation. Phase current is often the controlled variable in electrical motor drives, so it seems natural to use closed loop current controllers. However, the highly nonlinear nature of switched reluctance motors makes optimisation of closed loop current controlled difficult because of saturation effect in magnetic circuit. Therefore, torque generation region is nonlinearly varied according to phase current and rotor position. This paper describes the torque control scheme with neural network that can control varied with load torque. The torque control is simulated by PSIM.

This paper proposes a combined fuzzy adaptive sliding-mode voltage controller (FASVC) for a three-phase UPS inverter. The proposed FASVC encapsulates two control terms: a fuzzy adaptive compensation control term, which solves the problem of parameter uncertainties, and a sliding-mode feedback control term, which stabilizes the error dynamics of the system. To extract precise load current information, the proposed method uses a conventional load current observer instead of current sensors. In addition, the stability of the proposed control scheme is fully guaranteed by using the Lyapunov stability theory. It is shown that the proposed FASVC can attain excellent voltage regulation features such as a fast dynamic response, low total harmonic distortion (THD), and a small steady-state error under sudden load disturbances, nonlinear loads, and unbalanced loads in the existence of the parameter uncertainties. Finally, experimental results are obtained from a prototype 1 kVA three-phase UPS inverter system via a TMS320F28335 DSP. A comparison of these results with those obtained from a conventional sliding-mode controller (SMC) confirms the superior transient and steady-state performances of the proposed control technique.

Commercial eddy current dynamometers control the torque of rotating body, power supply machine, with the field coil current being operated as a braking force. In this paper, we studied the relation between field coil current and torque load of eddy current dynamometer. By the torque measuring analysis of eddy current dynamometer it is linear relation between the brake force measured from a torque meter which is installed at the case of dynamometer and the multiplied shaft rpm by the squares of field coil current (N$\times$I$^2$). To prove the relation, it was experimented and showed that the torque operated by the rotating body can be measured with the shaft rpm and the field coil current of the eddy current dynamometer. This result shows a possibility that eddy current dynamometer can measure the torque of rotating body without a torque measuring device. such as load cell.

This paper shows that higher amplification can be achieved by applying load current on the internal feedback winding of the magnetic amplifier under test. Since the magnetic flux of the control winding and internal feedback winding saturate the core more fully, the permeability tends to zero and load current increases to the value more than that of ordinary magnetic amplifier without feedback.
