The parallel operation system of multiple UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply) is used to increase power capacity of the system or to secure higher reliability at critical loads. In the parallel operation of the two UPSs, the load sharing control to maintain the current balance between them is a matter of consequence. In this paper, a highly precise load sharing controller is proposed and implemented for the parallel operation system of two UPSs. After that, a good performance of the proposed method is verified by simulation in the parallel operation system with two UPSs.

Parallel three-phase voltage source inverters in a direct connection configuration are widely used to increase system power ratings. A zero-sequence circulating current can be generated according to the switching method; however, the zero-sequence circulating current not only distorts current, but also reduces the system reliability and efficiency. In this paper, a model predictive control scheme is proposed for parallel inverters to drive an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor with zero-sequence circulating current suppression. The voltage vector of the parallel inverters is derived to predict and control the torque and stator flux components. In addition, the zero-sequence circulating current is suppressed by designing the cost function without an additional current sensor and high-impedance inductor. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the proposed control scheme.

An active boost converter for a single phase SRM using series-parallel connected capacitors is proposed in this paper. The proposed active boost converter has two diodes and one power switch with an anti-parallel diode and one additional boost capacitor. The additional boost capacitor could be series or parallel connected to the dc-link capacitor to produce proper excitation and demagnetization voltage. The proposed active boost converter can easily achieve a fast excitation and demagnetization from the capacitor connection. In this paper, series and parallel connected converters are reviewed, and the detailed operating modes as well as the voltage characteristics of the proposed converter are analyzed. The simulation and experimental results shows the effectiveness of the proposed active boost converter.

This paper proposes a new parallel manipulator fur plane motion, and then discusses on the workspace and kinematical characteristics of the manipulator. The conventional planar parallel manipulators have some disadvantages which are complex non-closed type direct kinematics, workspaces containing useless voids, and concave type border tines of workspaces. The proposed planar parallel manipulator overcomes the above disadvantages, that is, the manipulator has simple closed type direct kinematics, a void-free workspace, and a convex type borderline of a workspace. This paper shows the simulation result of the workspace as well as performances indices using a homogeneous inverse Jacobian.

In this paper, we present a partitioning algorithm for distributed simulation of DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) models. To preserve concurrency inherent in models, the proposed algorithm utilizes the structural information of models. Through benchmark simulation experiments, we show that the proposed algorithm can generate good partitions.

The adsorption properties of benzene, toluene, p-xylene in MCM-41 with heterogeneous and cylindrical pore were studied using grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulation. The simulated isotherms were compared with experimental ones, and the different adsorption behaviors in MCM-41 with pore diameters of 2.2 and 3.2 nm were investigated. The simulated adsorption amounts above the capillary-condensation pressure agreed with the experimental ones. The simulation results showed that most molecular planes were nearly parallel to the pore axis. This orientation was not affected by the molecular position in the pore. The molecular planes were nearly parallel to the pore surface for the adsorbate molecules close to the pore wall, and the molecules in the MCM-41 with the pore diameter of 3.2 nm were ordered along the pore axis.

Workflow is an ordered sequence of interdependent component data activities each of which can be executed on an integrated information system by accessing a remote information system. In our previous research [4], we proposed a distributed CIM Workflow system which consists of a workflow execution model called DAF-Net and an agent-based information systems called AIMIS. Given a component data activity, there needs an interaction protocol among agents which allocates the component data activity to a relevant information systems exist. The objective of this research is to propose and test two protocols: ARR(Asynchronous Request and Response)protocol and NCL(Negotiation with Case based Learning) protocol. To test the effectiveness of the protocols, we applied the PVM(Parallel Virtual Machine) software to simulate the distributed CIM Workflow system. PVM provides a distributed computing environment in which users can run different software processes in different computers while allowing communication among the processes.

A 6 DOF Multi axis simulation table (MAST) is used to perform vibration and fatigue tests for parts or assemblies of automobiles, aircraft, or other systems. It consists of a table and 6 linear actuators. For its attitude control, we have to adjust the lengths of 6 actuators properly. The system is essentially a parallel mechanism. Three actuators are connected to the table directly and other three actuators are connected indirectly. Because of these, the MAST shows also a serial mechanism#s property: the inverse kinematics is more complicated than a pure parallel mechanism and each actuator can operate independently. The authors have performed a kinematics analysis of the 6 DOF MAST. We have presented an analytical and a numerical solution for the inverse and forward kinematics, and we have verified the solutions by a 3D CAD software.

Large eddy simulation(LES) methodology used to model isothermal non-swirling and swirling flows in a model gas turbine combustor. The LES solver was implemented on parallel computer consisting 16 processors. To verify the capability of LES code and characterize swirling flow, the results was compared with that of Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) using k -$\epsilon$ model as well as experimental data. The results showed that the LES and RANS well predicted the mean velocity field of a non-swirling flow. Specially, the LES showed a very excellent prediction performance for the corner recirculation zone. In swirling flow, comparing with the results obtained by RANS, LES showed a better performance in predicting the mean axial and azimuthal velocities, and the central recirculation zone. Finally, unsteady phenomena of turbulent flow was examined with LES methodology.

A feed forward differential architecture of analog PRML decoder is investigated to implement on analog parallel processing circuits. The conventional PRML decoder performs the trellis processing with the implementation of single stage in digital and its repeated use. The analog parallel processing-based PRML comes from the idea that the decoding of PRML is done mainly with the information of the first several number of stages. Shortening the trellis processing stages but implementing it with analog parallel circuits, several benefits including higher speed, no memory requirement and no A/D converter requirement are obtained. Most of the conventional analog parallel processing-based PRML decoders are differential architecture with the feedback of the previous decoded data. The architecture used in this paper is without feedback, where error metric accumulation is allowed to start from all the states of the decoding stage, which enables to be decoded without feedback. The circuit of the proposed architecture is simpler than that of the conventional analog parallel processing structure with the similar decoding performance. Characteristics of the feed forward differential architecture are investigated through various simulation studies.
