A standard repetitive controller (RC) is theoretically able to replace a bank of resonant controllers in harmonic signals tracking applications. However, the traditional RC has some drawbacks such as a poor dynamic response and a complex structure to compensate grid frequency deviations for an effective unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) control scheme. In order to solve these problems, an improved RC with an outstanding dynamic response and a simplified grid frequency adaptive scheme is proposed for UPQC control systems in this paper. The control strategy developed for the UPQC has delay time, i.e., one-sixth of a fundamental period (T_p/6), repetitive controllers. As a result, the UPQC system can provide a fast dynamic response along with good compensation performance under both nonlinear and unbalanced loads. Furthermore, to guarantee the excellent performance of the UPQC under grid frequency deviations, a grid frequency adaptive scheme was developed for the RC using a simple first order Padé's approximation. When compared with other approaches, the proposed control method is simpler in structure and requires little computing time. Moreover, the entire control strategy can be easily implemented with a low-cost DSP. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified through various experimental tests.

This paper describes the two control techniques to perform the sensorless vector control of a PMSM by injecting the high frequency voltage to the stator terminal. The first technique is the estimation algorithm of the initial rotor position. A PMSM possesses the saliency which produces the ellipse of the stator current when the high frequency voltage is injected into the motor terminal. The major axis angle of the current ellipse gives the rotor position information at a standstill. The second control technique is a sensorless control algorithm that injects the high frequency voltage to the stator terminal in order to estimate the rotor position and speed. The rotor position and speed for sensorless vector control is calculated by appropriate signal processing to extract the position information from the stator current at low speeds or standstill. The proposed sensorless algorithm using the double-band hysteresis controller exhibits excellent reference tracking and increased robustness. Experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility of the proposed control schemes. Speed, position estimation and vector control were carried out on the floating point processor TMS320VC33.

This study describes a software-based conrol methodology eliminating low-frequency harmonics from a 3.phi. phase-controlled converter. The converter topology used in the study is capable of the phase current lagging and dealying with respect to the phase voltage. Low order harmonics are eliminated in the dc output voltage by introducing notches. The good agreements between the simulation and experimental resuls show the validity of the proposed scheme. The use of the software-based control scheme results in a simple and flexible realization of the system.

A control method of UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) to reduce low frequency oscillation is proposed. UPFC is modelled by voltage source, which magnitude and phase angle can be controlled. Because there needs some time to change to desired value, d-axis voltage and Q-axis voltage is modeled by 1st order delay. LQG(Linear Quadratic Gaussian) is used. It is shown that low frequency can be damped by control of UPFC effectively.

In a SRM drive, the on/off angles of each phase switch should be accurately controlled in order to control to torque and speed in a stable way, The accuracy of the switching angles is dependent upon the resolution of the encoder and the sampling period of the microprocessor. However, as the speed increase, the amount of the switching angle deviation from the preset values is also increased by the sampling period of the microprocessor. Therefore, a low cost encoder suitable for a practical and stable SRM drive is proposed and the control algorithm to provide the switching signals using the simple digital logic circuit is also presented in this paper. It is verified from the experiments that the proposed encoder and logic controller can be a powerful candidate a the practical low cost SRM drive.

In this paper, an accurate position control using new estimator which estimates the instantaneous speed and accurate position with a low precision shaft encoder is proposed. The overall performance of position control system is strongly depend on the accuracy of the position information and the performance of the speed controller in low speed range. In this paper the position and speed of the motor are obtained from Kalman filter which is an optimal full order estimator. This estimator has good performance even in very low speed range include standstill. The simulation and experimental results confirm the validity of the proposed estimation and control scheme.

This paper presents a network based fire detection system using CAN, in order to evaluate feasibility of home automation protocol for smart home. In general, because a traditional fire detection system has an analog transmission method with 4-20mA current, it has several shortcomings such as weakness to noise. Hence, as an alternative to the traditional system, this paper presents the architecture of CAN based fire detection system and the design method of CAN communication network. Also, the performance of the suggested system is evaluated through an experimental testbed. Especially, CAN has several advantages such as low cost and easiness of implementation compared to Ethernet or ARCNET, which are low layer of BACNet. Therefore, if CAN is adopted as low layer of BACNet, the home automation system is implemented more effectively.

일반전원이 공급되지 않은 광파표지는 태양광을 이용한 전력공급시스템을 사용하고 있다. 이러한 전력공급시스템에서는 충 방전조절기의 역할이 매우 중요하다. 항로표지의 효과적인 관리를 위해 도입된 IT기술(AIS통신 등)은 광파표지에 전력을 사용하는 장치를 추가하게 됨으로써 충 방전조절기의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 현재 운용되는 충 방전조절기는 항로표지 내부에 부착되어 해상환경에 따라 점검 및 확인하는데 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 충 방전조절기에 블루투스 모듈을 구성하여 근거리 점검이 가능한 모니터링 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안한 시스템은 도입 비용이 적고, 구성이 간편하여 다양한 항로표지에 응용가능한 장점이 있다. 또한 근거리에서 충 방전조절기의 실시간 상태정보를 확인할 수 있어서 점검 비용을 절감하고, 점검 시 발생 가능한 위험요소를 줄일 수 있다.

In the field of marine transportation the energy saving is one of the most important factors for profit. In order to reduce the fuel oil consumption the ship's propulsion efficiency must be increased as much as possible. The propulsion efficiency depends upon a combination of an engine and a propeller. The propeller has better efficiency as lower rotational speed. This situation led the engine manufacturers to design the engine that has lower speed, longer stroke and a small number of cylinders. Consequently the variation of rotational torque became larger than before because of the longer delay-time in the fuel oil injection process and an increased output per cylinder. As this new trends the conventional mechanical-hydrualic governors for engine speed control have been replaced by digital speed controllers which adopted the PID control or the optimal control algorithm. But these control algorithms have not enough robustness to suppress the variation of the delay-time and the parameter pertubation. In this paper we consider the delay-time and the perturbation of engine parameters as the modeling uncetainties. Next we design the controller which has zero offset in steady state engine speed, based on the two-degree-of-freedom control theory and $\mu$-synthesis. Thd validity of the controller is investigated through the response simulation. We use a personal computer and an analog computer as the digital controller and the engine (plant) part respectively. And, we certify that the designed controller maintains its performance even though the engine parameters may vary.

It is essential to examine and analyze the power output and load responses together using real-world turbulent wind speeds. In this paper, the power controller and the drive train damper are simultaneously considered using the NREL 5MW wind turbine model, and the damage equivalent load(DEL) of the low speed shaft torque and power output responses according to the natural frequency of the second order low pass filter are simultaneously investigated. Numerical testing is carried out above rated wind speed using commercially available Bladed software. From the viewpoints of DEL reduction of the drive train shaft torque and power output responses, it is shown that the natural frequency of the low pass filter is appropriately about 6 to 10rad/s. And the reduction ratio of the DEL of the low-speed shaft torque decreases as the wind speed becomes higher, and it is confirmed that the reduction ratio is limited to about 20% at high wind speeds.
