In this paper the partial switching PFC converter which is based on predictive control is proposed. In terms of satisfying the harmonic standard, the predictive control shows a similar performance to the conventional average current mode control PFC in the normal input condition. Moreover, the current harmonic characteristic is insensitive to the distorted input voltage. With predictive control method, novel on-line partial switching strategy is suggested in this paper. Depending on the operating condition, the partial switching PFC converter can boost its output voltage. Also when its efficiency needs to be improved, according to load condition, the partial switching can be achieved. The proposed strategy is proved by the results of FFT and the loss analysis using PSIM 9.0.

In this paper, a novel type auxiliary active edge resonant snubber assisted zero current soft switching pulse modulation Single-Ended Push Pull (SEPP) series load resonant inverter using IGBT power modules is proposed for cost effective consumer high-frequency induction heating (IH) appliances. Its operating principle in steady state is described by using each switching mode's equivalent operating circuits. The new multi resonant high-frequency inverter with series load resonance and edge resonance can regulate its high frequency output power under a condition of a constant frequency zero current soft switching (ZCS) commutation principle on the basis of the asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) control scheme. Brand-new consumer IH products using the proposed ZCS-PWM series load resonant SEPP high-frequency inverter using IGBTs is evaluated and discussed as compared with conventional high-frequency inverters on the basis of experimental results. In order to extend ZCS operation ranges under a low power setting PWM as well as to improve efficiency, the high frequency pulse density modulation (PDM) strategy is demonstrated for high frequency multi-resonant inverters. Its practical effectiveness is substantially proved from an application point of view.

Sliding mode control (SMC) is a robust control method to control a robot arm with nonlinear properties. A high switching gain of SMC causes chattering problems, although the SMC allows the adequate control performance by giving high switching gain, without the exact robot model containing nonlinear and uncertainty terms. In order to solve this problem, SMC with sliding perturbation observer (SMCSPO) has been researched, where the method can reduce the chattering by compensating the perturbation, which is estimated by the observer, and then choosing a lower switching control gain of SMC. However, optimal gain tuning is necessary to get a better tracking performance and reducing a chattering. This paper proposes a method that the Q-learning automatically tunes the control gains of SMCSPO with an iterative operation. In this tuning method, the rewards of reinforcement learning (RL) are set minus tracking errors of states, and the action of RL is a change of control gain to maximize rewards whenever the iteration number of movements increases. The simple motion test for a 7-DOF robot arm was simulated in MATLAB program to prove this RL tuning algorithm. The simulation showed that this method can automatically tune the control gains for SMCSPO.

A high density optical data storage device has been required for many years. In the field of the optical data storage, a near-field recording (NFR) technology is considered as a next generation one for achieving the high data density. Due to an evanescent wave effect occurred under 100nm distance which is the excessively small distance between the SIL and the disc, the most significant and difficult problem in this technology is to maintain a gap between a solid immersion lens (SIL) and a disc. Also, maintaining the gap under at least 50nm is required in the NFR gap servo system to use the evanescent wave effect efficiently. There are some institutes that have shown the novel gap servo control. In general, they use a mode switching servo method which consists of approach, hand-over and gap control mode. However there is a critical problem such as an overshoot at the tuning point from the approach mode to the hand-over mode, which may cause a collision between the SIL and the disc. In this paper, we show our NFR system and an improved gap servo system using an exponential function as the approach mode which can reduce the overshoot.

In variable structure control algorithm, sliding mode makes the closed loop system insensitive to modelling uncertainties and external disturbances. However due to imperfections in switching, the system trajectory chatters, which is very undesirable. And the insensitivity property of a sliding mode controller is present only when the system is in the sliding mode. To overcome these shortcomings, in this paper, new sliding mode control algorithm using time-varying sliding surface and fuzzy PI structrue is proposed.

Robustness characteristics to the modelling imprecision and some disturbances could be achieved in sliding mode control. However, there are drawbacks such as discontinuous control and chattering. Recently, many researches have been developing to solve such the problems. In sliding mode control, overall control input could be divided into two parts which are equivalent control input and sliding mode control input. Sliding mode control input is a function of the switching surfaces and can be designed with their linear combinations. In this paper, the sliding mode control input is designed by TSK fuzzy model. The proposed method gives the continuous sliding control input and reject the chattering phenomenon.

This paper presents a novel circuit topology of a high efficiency single-phase power conditioner. This power conditioner is composed of time-sharing sinewave absolute pulse width modulated boost chopper with a bypass diode in the first power processing stage and time-sharing sinewave pulse width modulated full-bridge inverter in the second power processing stage operated by time-sharing dual mode pulse pattern control scheme. The unique operating principle of the two power processing stage with time-sharing dual mode sinewave modulation scheme is described with a design example. This paper proposes also a sinewave tracking voltage controlled soft switching PWM boost chopper with a passive auxiliary edge-resonant snubber. The new conceptual operating principle of this novel power conditioner related to new energy utilization system is presented and discussed through the experimental results.

This paper describes implementation contents contents of manual/automatic complex redundancy control mothod for control of a modulation system of a Paging earth station in redundancy stracture. The existed redundancy control method usually is a automatic local control method in which the redundancy switching, including display or alarm beeping through operation of display devices or audio devices, is performed by the co-action of components or modules when the abnormal status is occurred in a modulation system. However, this method introduced in here is designed to enable use of three control modes;1) Manual mode by an operator, 2) Auto-remote mode by the Network Maagement System, through implementation of the redundancy control system composed of the redundancy control board and the redundancy switching circuit.

Due to the development of information communication field, the interest of the SMPS(Switched Mode Power Supply) is increased. The size and weight of SMPS are decided by inductor, capacitor and transformer. Thus, the low loss converter which is operated in high speed switching is required. The resonant FB DC-DC converter is able to operate in high speed switching and apply to high power field because the switching loss is low. In this thesis, it is proposed to control strategy for constant output power of resonant FB DC-DC converter in variable input voltage. The proposed control system is a digital I-PD type control and apply to phase-shift resonant type controller. The output voltage tracks reference without steady state error in variable input voltage. The validity of proposed control strategy is verified from results of simulation and experiment.
