The modular multilevel converter (MMC) has become a promising topology for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems. To control a MMC system properly, the ac-side current, circulating current and submodule (SM) capacitor voltage are taken into consideration. This paper proposes a low-computation indirect model predictive control (IMPC) strategy that takes advantages of the conventional MPC and has no weighting factors. The cost function and duty cycle are introduced to minimize the tracking error of the ac-side current and to eliminate the circulating current. An optimized merge sort (OMS) algorithm is applied to keep the SM capacitor voltages balanced. The proposed IMPC strategy effectively reduces the controller complexity and computational burden. In this paper, a discrete-time mathematical model of a MMC system is developed and the duty ratio of switching state is designed. In addition, a simulation of an eleven-level MMC system based on MATLAB/Simulink and a five-level experimental setup are built to evaluate the feasibility and performance of the proposed low-computation IMPC strategy.

It this paper, a single-phase high power factor rectifier with low-enery requirements for filtering elements is proposed. By switching control, the current containing the 3rd-hamonic component is to flow into the rectifier. Properly selecting the amplitude of the 3rd-hamonic component, it is possible to reduce the stored energy in the rectifier. Boost converter is used for power-factor control while active filter absorbs the 3rd-hamonic component. Simulation results are presented to show low stored energy of the proposed rectifier.

본 논문은 저 전력 설계 자동화를 위한 새로운 최소 자원 상위 레벨 합성 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 상위 레벨 합성 동안에 기능 연산자의 소비 전력 최소화를 위해 효율적인 접근 방식을 실행한다. 본 논문에서는 CDFG의 스위칭 활동을 감소시키기 위해 모든 제어 스텝을 하나씩 차례로 방문한다. 레지스터 공유 알고리즘은 모든 변수들의 생명 주기를 분석 한 후, 최소의 레지스터들을 결정한다. 또한 기능 단위의 입력 신호의 특성에 따라 모든 제어 스텝을 하나씩 차례로 방문하고, 갈망 방법에 따라 각 제어 스텝의 소비 전력을 최소화하여 자원 할당을 수행한다. 제안된 저 전력설계 자동화를 위한 최소 자원 상위 레벨 합성 알고리즘은 다양한 벤치마크들의 예를 통해 효율성을 입증한다.

The switching frequency of the power electronic devices used in large synchronous motor drives is usually kept low (less than 1 kHz) to reduce the switching losses and to improve the converter power capability. However, this results in a couple of problems, e.g. an increase in the harmonic components of the stator current, and an undesired cross-coupling between the magnetization current component ($i_m$) and the torque component ($i_t$). In this paper, a novel complex matrix model of electrically excited synchronous motors (EESM) was established with a new control scheme for coping with the low switching frequency issues. First, a hybrid observer was proposed to identify the instantaneous fundamental component of the stator current, which results in an obvious reduction of both the total harmonic distortion (THD) and the low order harmonics. Then, a novel complex current controller was designed to realize the decoupling between $i_m$ and $i_t$. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of this novel control system for EESM drives.

The purpose of this paper is the improvement of the speed control characteristics of induction machines suited the low resolution incremental-type encoder in a low speed region. In order to improve the control characteristics in a low speed range, we propose that the instantaneous speed control method by the instantaneous speed detection which is implemented by the disturbance torque observer. Also, in case of the speed control by the instantaneous speed detection, the simple estimation method of the mechanical inertia moment is proposed. We will the carry out the mathematical verification of the proposed theory by the theoretic advisement connected with the convergence relationship of the estimated inertia moment to the real mechanical inertia moment. Computer simulations and experiments by the IGBT inverter adopting DSP is performed to verify the proposed method.

In this paper, a sampler model for the P-type current mode control employing low pass filter is proposed. Even though the frequency response of the compensator used in a P-type current mode control employing low pass filter is similar to that of P-type compensator, the sampler model has to be obtained from the method used in PI-type current mode control. In order to show the usefulness of the proposed method, prediction results of the proposed model are compared to those from the circuit level simulator, PSIM.

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 paper presents a voltage and frequency droop control for accurate power sharing of parallel distributed generation (DG) inverters in low voltage microgrid. In practice, line impedances between inverters and the point of common coupling of a microgrid are not always equal. This inequality in line impedances often results in reactive power sharing mismatch among inverters. To address this problem, intensive researches have been conducting. Although these methods can solve the unbalanced reactive power sharing, there are still problems remain unresolved, such as complicated structure or circulating current. To overcome such problems, a new droop control scheme is proposed, which not only guarantees accurate reactive power sharing but also has simple structure so that it can be easily implemented in existing systems without any hardware modification. The simulation is performed using Matlab/Simulinks to validate the proposed scheme.
