This paper presents CAN-based parallel-operation and load-sharing techniques for the communication server power supply. With the load information obtained through CAN communication, each modules performs its current control independently and the power unbalance caused by impedance differences of converter modules can be reduced. In conventional method, slave modules are controlled by master module. On the other hand, the proposed load share algorithm uses the Multi-Master method. Therefore, accurate load sharing can be accomplished by the reference structure of each module's average current. Each converter has two stages and it is separated into PFC, which is responsible for harmonic regulation, and LLC resonant converter, which controls output voltage. To verified the performance of the proposed method, two 2KW prototypes has been implemented and experimented.

An analysis on a passive current sharing characteristics of a multi-phase synchronous buck converter is presented. The passive current sharing method is simple but its characteristics depend on the converter equivalent resistance and PWM uniformity. In this paper, the load sharing and power consumption of the passive current sharing system for the converter equivalent resistance and duty ratio inequalities are investigated through the simulation and experiment.

In this study, field measurements were investigated to analyze the load sharing ratio and behavior of piled raft foundation. The field measurements were performed for about 300 days from the start of construction. The geometry of the raft is $3.1m{\times}3.1m$, and the pre-cast and pre-bored pile is 23 m in length and 0.508 m in diameter. Based on the field measurements, the load-settlement relationship of the piled raft foundation was obtained, and the load sharing ratio of the pile was converged to 70% at ultimate loading condition. The load sharing ratio of the pile increased as the settlement increased, and this is because the surface friction of the weathered soil, which is at the lower ground, was significantly increased. Based on the results of the field measurements, load transfer curves were obtained and applied to a numerical analysis by using load transfer method.

Hybrid finite element analysis was used to analyze the influence of bearing stiffness on the static properties of a planetary gear system with manufacturing errors. The effects of changes in stiffness were similar for most of the manufacturing errors. State variables were most affected by the stiffness of the planet ,bearings. Floating either the sun or carrier helps to equal load sharing and minimizes the critical tooth stress. The effects of a floating sun and carrier are similar, but it is not recommended that both float, because this can induce greater critical tooth stress. Planet bearing stiffness should be optimized. Both load sharing and critical tooth stress should be considered to determine optimal bearing stiffness.

This paper describes characteristics of independent load sharing of parallel UPS systems and proposes a method of control which does not require control interconnections at each UPS system and compensates for line impedance. Simulation results of a two-module UPS system with different power latins and line impedance have demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed control scheme in load sharing.

The address selection mechanisms have been suggested under the circumstance occurring link failure already. But this paper proposes various considerations to address selection for load sharing without presenting address selection mechanism clearly. The goal of this document is merely referred various situation that have to consider when we make out address selection mechanism in the context of load sharing.

In the conventional method, two CTs have been used to share the load current equally with two converters. A new simle method to find out the current difference between two converters using only one CT as a ZCT is suggested. Two experimental prototype converters were designed and implemented for the evaluation of the load current sharing. The results of experiment show that the newly proposed ZCT method using only one CT could make a good load current sharing than the conventional method required two CT when operating two converters in parallel.

In our country, in the case of traditional design of pile foundations, only a design depending on end bearing has been performed. However, through the load transfer measurement data that have been carried out for in-situ piles, it was known that skin frictional force was mobilized greatly. In this study, through the analysis of the load transfer test cases of driven steel pipe piles and large-diameter drilled shafts, load bearing aspects of pile foundation depending on pile construction methods and pile load test methods were established. The average sharing ratios of skin frictional force were independent of pile types, pile load test methods, relative pile lengths, pile diameters and soil types. Because the average sharing ratios were over 50%, the case pile foundations mostly behaved as a friction pile and the extremely partial case pile foundation behaved as a combined load bearing pile.

This study proposes a new solution for the parallel operation of microgrid inverters in terms of circuit topology and control structure. A combined three-phase four-wire inverter composed of three single-phase full-bridge circuits is adopted. Moreover, the control structure is based on adaptive three-order sliding-mode control and wireless load-sharing control. The significant contributions are as follows. 1) Adaptive sliding-mode control performance in inner voltage loop can effectively reject both voltage and load disturbances. 2) Virtual resistive-output-impedance loop is applied in intermediate loop to achieve excellent power-sharing accuracy, and load power can be shared proportionally to the power rating of the inverter when loads are unbalanced or nonlinear. 3) Transient droop terms are added to the conventional power outer loop to improve dynamic response and disturbance rejection performance. Finally, theoretical analysis and test results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

본 논문에서는 2KW급 LLC 컨버터를 적용한 전원장치의 병렬운전 및 Load Sharing 기법을 제안한다. 각 모듈의 제어기로는 TI사의 TMS320F28035를 사용하였으며 모듈 각각의 독립적인 전압제어를 담당한다. 그리고 Load Share 모드에서는 CAN통신을 사용하여 각 전원장치의 전류제어 및 전압제어를 수행한다. 각 모듈에 전체전류의 1/N의 균일한 전류를 흐르게 하여 각 모듈에 임피던스 불균형으로 인한 스트레스를 줄일 수 있다. 기존방식은 마스터(Master) 모듈의 지령치에 따라 슬레이브(Slave)모듈에서 부한 분담을 수행하는 반면, 제안된 Load Share 알고리즘은 멀티 마스터(Multi-Master: MM) 방식으로써 각 모듈의 평균전류를 레퍼런스로 갖는 구조로 정확한 부하분담을 수행한다.
