A new robust load-frequency control (LFC) methodology is proposed for nonlinear power systems with the valve position limits of the governor in the presence of parametric uncertainties. The Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model is adopted for fuzzy modeling of the nonlinear power system. A sufficient condition of the robust stability is presented in the sense of Lyapunov for the TS fuzzy model with parametric uncertainties. The intelligent digital redesign technique for the uncertain nonlinear power system is also studied. The effectiveness of the proposed robust fuzzy LFC controller design method is demonstrated through a numerical simulation.

In this paper, the method to improve the efficiency of an induction motor at light load is discussed. Efficiency of induction motor can be very substantially improved by keeping the slip frequency as constant. Therefore, to simplify the control loop, algorithm which maintain constant slip frequency and control the input voltage is adopted. Simplified high efficiency drive of induction motor using PLL technique is suggested. In order to verify the validity of this system, the test results are compared with those obtained by optimal slip drive system and then we found closer to the optimal efficiency. For example its efficiency is improved from 18[%] to 42[%] at a few fraction of the full load (20[%]).

An experimental study was performed to investigate characteristics of an inverter driven water-to-water refrigeration system with a variation of compressor frequencies and expansion devices. The frequency of a compressor varied from 30Hz to 75Hz, and performance of the systems applying three different expansion devices such as capillary tube, thermostatic expansion valve(TXV), and electronic expansion valve(EEV) were measured. The load conditions were altered by varying the temperature of the secondary fluid entering condenser and evaporator with a constant flow rate. When the test conditions were deviated from the standard value(rated value), TXV and EEV showed better performance than capillary tube due to optimum control of mass flow rate and superheat. In the present study, it was observed that the variable area expansion device had better performance than constant area expansion device in an inverter refrigeration system due to active control of flow area with a change of compressor frequency and load conditions.

After the short-term dynamics due to the major disturbance are over, the power system may lead to viability crisis state wherein there is possibility of cascading damage. This paper presents an emergency control algorithm to alleviate the obstacles of system frequency or bus voltage during the viability crisis state. The algorithm considers the effects of controlling reactive power sources for load shedding and generation reallocation in order to alleviate the obstacles. The problem is decomposed into a subproblem I and a subproblem II. The former minimizes system frequency deviation from nominal value and the latter voltage violation of load buses. The optimization problem is solved by a reduced gradient technique which can handle a great number of inequality constraints more easily. It has been verified that the use of the proposed algorithm for IEEE 14 bus system alleviates the obstacles efficiently during the viability crisis.

This paper presents a new circuit topology of the half-bridge resonant inverter. As the proposed half-bridge inverter can be operated in the load freewheeling modes, pulse width modulation (PWM) control method can be used for the output power control. The proposed half-bridge inverter should keep unity output displacement factor under the load-impedance varying conditions, if a new PWM control scheme based on the resonant frequency tracking algorithm is adopted. In this paper, electrical characteristics, and losses analysis of the proposed half-bridge resonant inverter are described. Simulation and experimental results of the prototype experimental setup to verify the validity of the proposed half-bridge resonant inverter are presented and discussed.

The module UPS can flexibly implement expansion of power system capacities. Furthermore, it can be used to build up the parallel redundant system to improve the reliability of power system operation. To realize the module UPS, load sharing without interconnection among parallel connecting modules as well as a small scale and lightweight topology is necessary. In this paper, the three-arm converter/inverter is compared with the general full-bridge and half-bridge topology from a practical point of view and chosen as the module UPS topology. The switching control approaches based on a pulse width modulation of the converter and inverter of the system are presented independently The frequency and voltage droop method is applied to parallel operation control to achieve load sharing. Two prototype 3kVA modules are designed and implemented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. Experimental results show that the three-arm UPS system has a high power factor, a low distortion of output voltage and input current, and good load sharing characteristic.

A control technique for the auxiliary buck/boost converter is proposed herein to improve the load transient response of the buck converter. The proposed technique improves the system efficiency by enabling the soft switching operation of the auxiliary converter. The design guidelines for achieving capacitor charge balance for the output capacitor during the transient are also presented herein. The experimental results revealed that the output voltage undershoot and settling time during the load step-up transient were 40 mV and 14 ㎲, respectively, and the output voltage overshoot and settling time during the load step-down transient were 35 mV and 21 ㎲, respectively. The performance and effectiveness of the proposed technique were experimentally verified using a prototype buck converter with a 15-V input, 3.3-V output, and 200-kHz switching frequency.

A frequency in electrical power system changes by the load fluctuation in utility grid, has an influence on a connected generator, and ultimately brings a big trouble in the power system. Therefore, a quick measurement of system frequency and governor control of power system is a very important factor in the reliability and the economic feasibility. Electromagnetic frequency relays in the past had the large power consumption and the difficulty of accurate measurement. After Researched and developed digital relays are very affected by the noise and the distortion, and the recently developed Microprocessor relays have problems of expensive device and time when measuring the frequency at 50[ms]. In this study, An improve algorithm that measures the power system frequency quickly and accurately is suggested, simulated by using Matlab and programmed using C code through DSP6713 KIT. This algorithm is tested to the arbitrary voltage waveform input. The results show that the suggested algorithm is effective in the accurate and quick frequency measurements.
