유성음원과 무성음원을 사용하는 멀티펄스 음성부호화 방식에 있어서, 대표구간의 멀티펄스를 사용하는 경우에 유성음의 합성음성파형에서 일그러짐이 나타난다. 이것은 대표구간의 멀티펄스를 피치구간마다 복원하는 과정에서 재생 음성신호가 정규화되는 것이 원인으로 작용한다. 이것을 해결하기위하여 본 논문에서는 피치구간마다 멀티펄스의 위치를 보정하는 방법(PC-MPC)을 제시하였으며, 기존의 MPC와 멀티펄스 위치를 보정한 PC-MPC의 $SNR_{seg}$를 평가한 결과, PC-MPC의 남자음성에서 0.4dB, 여자음성에서 0.5dB 개선된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결국, MPC에 비해 PC-MPC의 $SNR_{seg}$가 개선되어 음성파형의 일그러짐을 제어할 수 있었으며, 본 방법은 셀룰러폰이나 스마트폰과 같이 Low Bit Rate의 음원을 사용하여 음성신호를 부호화하는 방식에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper investigates the stability and performance of model predictive controlled active-front-end (AFE) rectifiers for energy storage systems, which has been increasingly applied in power distribution sectors and in renewable energy sources to ensure an uninterruptable power supply. The model predictive control (MPC) algorithm utilizes the discrete behavior of power converters to determine appropriate switching states by defining a cost function. The stability of the MPC algorithm is analyzed with the discrete z-domain response and the nonlinear simulation model. The results confirms that the control method of the active-front-end (AFE) rectifier is stable, and that is operates with an infinite gain margin and a very fast dynamic response. Moreover, the performance of the MPC controlled AFE rectifier is verified with a 3.0 kW experimental system. This shows that the MPC controlled AFE rectifier operates with a unity power factor, an acceptable THD (4.0 %) level for the input current and a very low DC voltage ripple. Finally, an efficiency comparison is performed between the MPC and the VOC-based PWM controllers for AFE rectifiers. This comparison demonstrates the effectiveness of the MPC controller.

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.

유성음원과 무성음원을 사용하는 멀티펄스 음성부호화 방식에 있어서, 음성신호의 진폭이 증가하거나 감소하는 경우에 음성 파형에 일그러짐이 나타난다. 이것은 대표구간의 멀티펄스를 피치구간마다 복원하는 과정에서 재생 음성신호가 정규화되는 것이 원인으로 작용한다. 이것을 해결하기위하여 본 논문에서는 피치구간마다 멀티펄스의 진폭을 보정하는 방법(AC-MPC)을 제시하였으며, 기존의 MPC와 멀티펄스 진폭을 보정한 AC-MPC의 SNRseg를 평가한 결과, AC-MPC의 남자음성에서 0.7dB, 여자음성에서 0.7dB 개선된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결국, MPC에 비해 AC-MPC의 SNRseg가 개선되어 음성파형의 일그러짐을 제어할 수 있었으며, 본 방법은 셀룰러폰이나 스마트폰과 같이 Low Bit Rate의 음원을 사용하여 음성신호를 부호화하는 방식에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents a method to enhance tracking performance of an input-constrained bilinear system using MPC (Model Predictive Control) when a feasible tracking control is known. Since the error dynamics induced by the known tracking control is asymptotically stable, there exists a Lyapunov function for the stable error dynamics. By defining a cost function including the Lyapunov function and describing tracking performance, an MPC law is derived. In simulation, the performance of the proposed MPC law is demonstrated by applying it to a converter model.

The main objective of load frequency control (LFC) is to keep the frequency value at nominal value and force deviation of the frequency to zero in case of load change. This paper suggests LFC by using a model predictive control (MPC), based on Integral Square Error (ISE) method designed to optimize the damping of oscillations in a two-area power system. The MPC is designed and simulated with a model system in state space, for robust performance in the system response. The proposed MPC is tuned by ISE to achieve superior efficiency. Moreover, its performance has been assessed and compared with the PI and PID conventional controllers. The settling time and overshoot with MPC are extremely minimized as compared with conventional controllers.

Recently, the demand for high precision and large stroke in linear positioning systems is increasing in industry. A coarse-fine position control system composed of a linear motor and a piezoelectric actuator has such characteristics. Many optimal control laws have been applied to the position control of coarse-fine actuators but most of them did not take account into constraints. In this study, model predictive control (MPC) method with constraints is applied to the position control of the coarse-fine actuator and the performance of MPC is compared with those of conventional control laws.

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 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.

Steam generator level control at low power is difficult due to its adverse thermal hydraulic properties, and is usually conducted by an operator. The basic model predictive control (MPC) is similar to the action of an operator in that the operator knows the desired reference trajectory for a finite period of time and takes the necessary control actions needed to ensure the desired trajectory. An MPC is based on a model; the performance as well as the efficiency of the MPC depends heavily on the exactness of the model. In this study, steam generator models that can describe in detail its thermal hydraulic behaviors, particularly at low power, are used in the MPC design. The design scope is divided into two parts. First, the MPC feedwater controller of the feedwater station is determined, and then the MPC level controller for the overall system is designed. Because the dynamic properties of a steam generator change with the power levels, a realistic situation is simulated by changing the transfer functions of the steam generator at every time step. The resulting MPC controller shows good performance.
