This paper proposes a simultaneous control of frequency deviation and electric vehicles (EVs) battery state of charge (SOC) using load frequency control (LFC) and EV controllers. In order to provide both frequency stabilization and SOC schedule near optimal performance within the whole operating regions, a multiple-input multiple-output model predictive control (MIMO-MPC) is employed for the coordination of LFC and EV controllers. The MIMO-MPC is an effective model-based prediction which calculates future control signals by an optimization of quadratic programming based on the plant model, past manipulate, measured disturbance, and control signals. By optimizing the input and output weights of the MIMO-MPC using particle swarm optimization (PSO), the optimal MIMO-MPC for simultaneous control of the LFC and EVs, is able to stabilize the frequency fluctuation and maintain the desired battery SOC at the certain time, effectively. Simulation study in a two-area interconnected power system with wind farms shows the effectiveness of the proposed MIMO-MPC over the proportional integral (PI) controller and the decentralized vehicle to grid control (DVC) controller.

The MPC(Moisture Protected Computer) system is completely unique. It was recently invented in Korea and it is a technological break-through in the field of computer systems. It will be instrumental in the development of a complete moisture air-tight capability and will work well in field environments. The MPC includes the following: 1) An enclosed design. 2) Moisture proof computer enclosure joints. 3) System dust protection & an impact buffing system. 4) A normal temperature maintenance system when the temperature inside the computer is low. 5) The ability to generate heat and a radiate system inside the computer 6) An automatic power input sensing controller device. 7) A safety device in case of mis-operation. 8) A proper admission procedure for various tests. Because of the above, and as a result of temperature property experiments, there aren't any operational problems. The result of this treatise could provide very important data for verification of cases involving: using strong materials to protect against explosions, searching for ways to make the size and weight small, and for making repairs easier. As a result, it could achieve price and function competitiveness in advanced countries such as the USA and in Europe.

차량용 전방충돌방지 시스템으로 많이 사용 중인 FMCW 레이더는 현재 상용화되어 대중적이 되었다. 본 연구에서는 77 GHz급의 고성능 ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance System)를 위한 전용 프로세서인 NXP사의 MPC5775K를 기반으로 레이더 신호처리부를 개발하였다. MPC5775K는 자동차용 MPU 계열에 FMCW 레이더에서 요구하는 기능을 추가한 것으로 10Msps급 12bit ADC, 2개의 50MHz Radix-4 FFT HW를 내장한 것이 특징이다. 또한 주기적인 레이더 송수신 신호를 만들고, 이를 동기화하여 획득하는 CTE(Cross Triggering Engine)를 제공하여 다양한 알고리즘 개발에 활용이 가능하다. 보드를 개발하여 직접 FMCW 레이더 기능을 시험하였으며 그 결과를 시리얼통신으로 PC에서 전송하여 Matlab에서 실시간 그래프로 성능을 검증하였다.

인공수정체로 사용되고 있는 소수성 아크릴 하이드로겔의 단백질 흡착 감소와 기능을 향상시키기 위한 하이드로겔을 제조하여 인공수정체로의 응용성을 살펴보고자 한다. 소수성 아크릴 인공수정체는 ethyleneglycol phenyletheracrylate(EGPEA), Styrene, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA)를 사용하여 제작하였고 첨가제로 polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP)와 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine(MPC)를 사용하였다. 인공수정체의 물리적 특성을 평가하기 위해 함수율, 습윤성, 광투과율 및 단백질 흡착량을 측정하였다. 첨가제를 넣은 모든 시료의 함수율과 습윤성은 증가하였고 단백질 흡착량은 감소하였다. 특히 MPC가 포함된 시료의 단백질 흡착량은 더욱 감소하였다. PVP와 MPC를 첨가한 소수성 아크릴 하이드로겔은 기본적인 물리적 특성을 가지면서 단백질 흡착을 감소시킴으로써 기능이 향상된 인공수정체로의 응용이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Advanced control algorithms must be used to make wind power generation truly cost effective and reliable. In this study, we develop a new and simple control scheme that employs model predictive control (MPC), which is used in permanent magnet synchronous generators and grid-connected inverters. The proposed control law is based on two points, namely, MPC-based torque-current control loop is used for the generator-side converter to reach the maximum power point of the wind turbine, and MPC-based direct power control loop is used for the grid-side converter to satisfy the grid code and help improve system stability. Moreover, a simple prediction scheme is developed for the direct-drive wind energy conversion system (WECS) to reduce the computation burden for real-time applications. A small-scale WECS laboratory prototype is built and evaluated to verify the validity of the developed control methods. Acceptable results are obtained from the real-time implementation of the proposed MPC methods for WECS.

This paper proposes a new finite control set-model predictive control (FCS-MPC) method for induction motors. In the method, the reference state that satisfies the given torque and rotor flux requirements is derived. Cost indices for the FCS-MPC are defined using the state tracking error, and a linear matrix inequality is formulated to obtain a proper weighting matrix for the state tracking error. The on-line procedure of the proposed FCS-MPC comprises of two steps: select the output voltage vector of the two level inverter minimizing the cost index and compute the optimal modulation factor of the minimizing output voltage vector in order to reduce the state tracking error and torque ripple. The steady state tracking error is removed by using an integrator to adjust the reference state. The simulation and experimental results demonstrated that the proposed FCS-MPC shows good torque, rotor flux control performances at different rotating speeds.

In this paper, a voltage-based model predictive control (MPC) scheme for a modular multilevel converter is used to reduce switching loss. The proposed method calculates an offset voltage that clamps the switching operation of submodules in which the current greatly flows at every sampling period by using the reference phase voltage and the reference phase current. To use the offset voltage, the proposed method converts the current-based MPC to the voltage-based MPC. The proposed voltage-based MPC then generates a new reference pole voltage that clamps the switching of submodules by applying the calculated offset voltage to the phase voltage. Therefore, the proposed method can reduce the switching loss by stopping the switching operation of submodules in which the current greatly flows. The switching loss reduction effect of the proposed method is verified by comparing its loss data with those of the conventional MPC method.

This paper presents a theoretical study of a model predictive control (MPC) strategy employed in semi-active control system with magnetorheological (MR) dampers to reduce the responses of seismically excited structures. The MPC scheme is based on a prediction model of the system response to obtain the control actions by minimizing an objective function, which can compensate for the effect of time delay that occurred in real application. As an example, a 5-story building frame equipped with two 20 kN MR dampers is presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed MPC scheme for addressing time delay and reducing the structural responses under different earthquakes, in which the predictive length l = 5 and the delayed time step d = 10, 20, 40, 60, 100 are considered. Comparison with passive-off, passive-on, and linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control strategy indicates that MPC scheme exhibits good control performance similar to the LQG control strategy, both have better control effectiveness than two passive control methods for most cases, and the MPC scheme used in semi-active control system show more effectiveness and robustness for addressing time delay and protecting structures during earthquakes.

MPC 제어기가 고정된 출력준위에서 선형 증기발생기 모델을 위해 설계되었다. 고정된 출력준위에서 설계된 제어기는 단지 입력가중치만을 변경하므로써 어떤 다른 출력준위에서 좋은 성능을 보여주었다. 또한 증기발생기는 비선형 특성을 갖고 있기 때문에 제안된 제어 알고리듬이 실질적인 성능 및 안전성을 검증하기 위하여 증기발생기의 비선형 모델에 적용되었으며, 좋은 성능을 보여주었다.

This paper considers the model predictive control (MPC) problems in nonlinear processes or systems. The MPC method determines the control law such that the predicted output based on the identified process model is equal to the reference output which consists of both the process output at current time and the setting value called as the command generator. In this paper, the nonlinear MPC software for a chemical reactor is developed and analized from the point of view of practical applications.
