A two stage ac drive configuration consisting of a single-phase line commutated rectifier and a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) is very common in low and medium power applications. The deterministic pulse width modulation (PWM) methods like sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) could not be considered as an ideal choice for modern drives since they result mechanical vibration and acoustic noise, and limit the application scope. This is due to the incapability of the deterministic PWM strategies in sprawling the harmonic power. The random PWM (RPWM) approaches could solve this issue by creating continuous harmonic profile instead of discrete clusters of dominant harmonics. Insufficient filtering at dc link results in the amplitude distortion of the input dc voltage to the VSI and has the most significant impact on the spectral errors (difference between theoretical and practical spectra). It is obvious that the sprawling effect of RPWM undoubtedly influenced by input fluctuation and the discrete harmonic clusters may reappear. The influence of dc link fluctuation on harmonics and their spreading effect in the VSI remains invalidated. A case study is done with four different filter capacitor values in this paper and results are compared with the constant dc input operation. This paper also proposes an ingenious RPWM, a ripple dosed sinusoidal reference-random carrier PWM (RDSRRCPWM), which has the innate capacity of suppressing the effect of input fluctuation in the output than the other modern PWM methods. MATLAB based simulation study reveals the fundamental component, total harmonic distortion (THD) and harmonic spread factor (HSF) for various modulation indices. The non-ideal dc link is managed well with the developed RDSRRCPWM applied to the VSI and tested in a proto type VSI using the field programmable gate array (FPGA).

본 연구에서는 펄스의 위치를 랜덤하게 함으로써 효율적은 RPWN (Random PWM)을 구현할 수 있는 새로운 공간 벡터 RPPWM(Random Position PWM)방식을 제안하였다. 제안한 방식은 마이크로 컨트롤로 적용하기 쉬운 공간벡터 변조에 의하여 각 상의 듀티비를 연산한 다음, 스위칭 순서를 유지하며 각 3상 펄스들의 위치를 변조구간내에서 임의의 위치에 랜덤하게 배치함으로써 RPWM을 구현하는 방식이다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 MATLAB/SIMULINK를 이용하여 펄스위치의 랜덤화 공각벡터 변조, 인버터 및 3상 유도전동기를 포함하는 전체 시스템을 모델화하였다. 종전의 공각벡턱 PWM 그리고 제안된 RPPWM에 의한 인버터 출력 전압 전류의 고조파 성분을 시뮬레이션에 의하여 비교 검토하였으며 제안된 방법의 유용성을 입증할 수 있었다.

Recently computer games have been widely spread. For the purpose of studying brain activities, EEG was measured during the computer game and analyzed in terms of channels and frequency bands. EEG data were obtained during the resting state and game immersion. Then the power spectra of alpha, beta and theta bands were computed. During game immersion, the ratio between theta / alpha could effectively differentiate between rest and game immersion. Changes in brain activity (26~53%) were observed in the parietal and occipital lobes. Interestingly, immersion shows different features compared to concentration. The state of game immersion could be detected. Therefore, it is possible to utilize the state of immersion as one of the game parameters or to generate a control signal that may be used to provide a warning message or abort the game when the situation of the excessive indulgence in the game reaches. EEG can be applied as smart interface for computer game.
