This paper reports an investigation of pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques for two-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors fed by a two-phase eight-switch inverter in a fan application. The three-phase BLDC motor is widely applied in industry; however, a lower-cost two-phase BLDC motor and drive circuit has been greatly in demand in recent years. In this paper, we introduce a mathematical model of the two-phase BLDC motor with sinusoidal back electromotive forces (EMFs) based on traditional three-phase BLDC motors. To simplify the drive algorithm and speed up its application, we analyze the principle of block commutation for a two-phase BLDC motor drive in the 180-electrical-degree conduction mode, and we further propose five PWM schemes to improve the commutation performance of the two-phase BLDC drive. The effectiveness of the proposed PWM methods is verified through experiments.

본 논문은 차세대 ROADM을 구성하는 핵심기술인 LCOS를 이용한 파장선택 스위치에서 LCOS 소자의 빔 제어방법으로 컴퓨터 생성 홀로그램 설계에 관한 논문이다. LCOS 소자를 이용한 빔 제어방법으로 일반적으로 grating 패턴을 사용하지만 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 생성 홀로그램을 도입하여 보다 높은 광효율의 파장선택 스위치 구현이 가능하도록 하였다. LCOS 소자의 위상변조 특성을 이용하여 5개의 출력 포트와 40 채널의 다중파장의 빔 제어를 할 수 있는 파장선택 스위치의 홀로그램 설계방법을 제시하였다. Gerchberg-Saxton 알고리즘을 적용한 멀티레벨 위상변조 홀로그램을 설계하였으며 다른 출력 포트와 채널을 갖는 파장선택 스위치 시스템에도 쉽게 적용이 가능하다. 타겟 이미지의 밝기정보를 사전에 입력하고 역프리에 변환을 통해 위상정보를 추출하여 홀로그램에 저장한 후 임의의 광원의 밝기정보를 합성하여 프리에 변환하는 방법으로 타겟 이미지의 밝기정보를 예측하는 방법을 사용한다. 5개의 출력포트용 홀로그램을 제작하여 검증실험장치의 재생 이미지의 출력특성을 통해 본 연구방법으로 설계된 홀로그램의 유용성을 검증하였고 40채널 파장선택 스위치 제어용 홀로그램 설계방법을 제시하였다.

This paper proposes performance improvement schemes for sensorless PMSM control drive using a four-switch three-phase inverter (so-called B4 inverter). In the proposed scheme, the back-EMF estimation-based sensorless control algorithm is used to control the brushless PMSM without position sensors. In order to have stable operation, this paper presents a gain adjustment scheme that compensates the reduction of stable sensorless operation range as long as the rotor speed increases. In B4 topology, the center point of dc-link capacitors is connected to 3-phase load, and it is prone to have the load current distortion. Hence, to mitigate this problem, a distortion compensation scheme by modifying voltage commands using measured dc-link potentials is proposed in this paper. The validity of the proposed method is evaluated by simulations and experiments.

A single-phase bi-directional inverter with a diode bridge-type resonant circuit to implement ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) switching is proposed. It is shown that the polarized ramptime current control algorithm, a method that belongs to the family of ZACE(Zero Average Current Error) methods, is a suitable technique to integrate with a typical single-phase ZVT inverter. The proposed current control algorithm is analyzed to design the circuit with auxiliary switch which can operate with ZVT for the main power switch. The simulation results would be shown to verify the proposed current algorithm to turn the main power switch on with ZVT and to operate the inverter bi-directionally

Micro-grid is connected to the main power grid through a static switch. One of the critical issues in micro-grids is protection which must disconnect the micro-grid from the network in short-circuit contingencies. Protective methods of micro-grid mainly follow the model of distribution system protection. This protection scheme suffers from improper operation due to the presence of single-phase loads, imbalance of three-phase loads and occurrence of power swings in micro-grid. In this paper, a new method which prevents from improper performance of static micro-grid protection is proposed. This method works based on artificial neural network (ANN) and able to differentiate short circuit from power swings by measuring impedance and the rate of impedance variations in PCC bus. This new technique provides a protective system with higher reliability.

Dual type Independent multi-phase BLDC Motor (DI-BLDCM) is designed to be robust to faulty conditions of motor and drive system. Despite the efforts of the motor design, open-switch faults of DI-BLDCM drive system cause the torque ripple of the motor. This torque ripple makes unwanted sound noise and mechanical vibration of associated systems. This paper proposes four methods for compensating the torque ripple and compares the characteristics of each proposed method. All proposed methods are able to reduce the torque ripple to similar level of the healthy condition, although the motor operates in open-switch fault conditions. However, these methods have different characteristics in various fault conditions. Therefore, from the results of the comparison, the suitable method is selected for the various fault conditions. The feasibility of the proposed methods is proved by the several experimental results.

This paper proposes an adaptive carrier-based pulse width modulation (PWM) method for a four-switch three-phase (4S3P) inverter under dc-link voltage ripple conditions. The proposed method guarantees balanced output currents despite of the existence of the voltage oscillations across two dc-link capacitors. And also, this new approach achieves a linear over-modulation with calculation time reduction. Simulation and experimental results are given to validate the feasibility of the proposed method.

This paper presents a simple electronic starter for single phase induction motor (SPIM). It replaces the centrifugal switch in the auxiliary winding circuit of the capacitor start type SPIM. The centrifugal switch disconnects the auxiliary winding when the motor gets close to its rated speed. The presence of the centrifugal switch, with its possibly fluttering contacts, reduce reliability of SPIM. The operation principle of the proposed electronic starter is explained, and illustrated with experimental results.

As the Internet traffic increases, the demand for higher performance routers continues to grow, and it makes switch chips more complex. To make matters worse, these chips also need to handle high-level services. In this paper, we introduce an efficient verification methodology that can support real network traffics to satisfy the verification requirement of real complex situation even at the early design phase of switch chips.
