In general, the swing motion of the crane is controlled and suppressed by activating the trolley motion. In many papers reported by us, we suggested a new type of anti-sway control system of the crane. In the proposed control system, a small auxiliary mass(moving-mass) is installed on the spreader and the swing motion is controlled by moving the auxiliary mass. The actuator reaction against the auxiliary mass applies inertial control forces to the container in order to reduce the swing motion in the desired manner. Futhermore the measuring systems based on image sensor have been proposed also. To obtain the robustness for our control system, $H_{\infty}$ based control techniques and other approach have been applied to suppress swing motion. As well known, the robust control technologies based on $H_{\infty}$ control need complicated and difficult process. In the result, the obtained closed-loop system becomes to high order system which may give us many difficulties to apply it to the real plants. Therefore, we introduce an easy approach which is based on LQ control theory. In this approach, we introduce the frequency dependent weighting matrices which give the system filters to shape frequency characteristics of the controlled system and guarantee the control performance.

This paper deals with control design method having anticipation delay which is proposed for the discrete nonlinear engine where system dynamics is not accurate. Due to the induction-to-power delay in internal combustion(IC) engine having abrupt torque loss, underdamping and chattering in engine idle speed becomes a serious problem and it could make drivers uncomfortable. For this reason, Three types of the closed-loop controller are developed for the stable engine idle speed control. The inputs of the controllers are an engine idle speed and air conditioning signal. The output of the controllers is an duty cycle to operate the idle speed control valve(ISCV). The proposed controllers will be useful for improving actual vehicles since these shows good test

The conventional PI controller has been widely used in industrial applications. If a PI control gain is selected suitable, the PI controller shows very good control performance. But it is very difficult to find the optimal PI control gain. Therefore, in this paper, the 4-rule based fuzzy logic modifier of the conventional PI controller are presented. The fuzzy logic modifier which exhibits a stabilizing effects on the closed-loop system, has good robustness regarding the improperly tuned PI controller. The simulation are performed to verify the capability of proposed control method on vector controlled induction motor drive system.

PM synchronous motor may be rotated to an arbitrary direction and speed by outside wind under natural condition in cases where the fan is applied outside, such as in vehicle radiators and outdoor air-conditioners. Sensorless controls that cannot detect rotor position requires additional sensorless control algorithm because a rotor is rotated by an external load. In this study, the sensorless control of a PM synchronous motor under naturally rotating condition is proposed. The natural rotation conditions are classified as forward high-speed rotation, reverse high-speed rotation, and low-speed rotation. Experiment results verify the performance of the sensorless control, including the rotor speed and position detection at natural rotation mode and switch to the closed-loop sensorless control.

In grid-connected voltage-source inverters (VSIs), when compared with a simple inductive L filter, the LCL filter has a better performance in attenuating the high frequency harmonics caused by the pulse-width modulation of power switches. However, the resonance peaks generated by the filter inductors and capacitors can make a system unstable. In terms of simplicity and filter design cost, a passive damping method is generally preferred. However, its high power loss and degradation in high frequency harmonic attenuation are significant demerits. In this paper, a mathematical design solution for a passive LCL filter to derive filter parameters suppressing the high frequency current harmonics to 0.3% is proposed. The minimum filter inductance can be obtained to reduce the size of the filter. Furthermore, a minimum damping resistance design considering a current controller is analyzed for a stable closed-loop system. The proposed design method is verified by experimental results using a 5-kW three-phase prototype inverter.

The main aim of this paper is to expound high-efficiency operation of Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) based on the current waveform. For this purpose, theoretical analysis of the copper loss and iron loss of the system is done first. Then, necessary simulation is done to find the variation trend of the copper loss and iron loss with the variation of the current waveform at the same output power. Finally, the best current waveform which can make the system operate with high efficiency is obtained by considering the influence of these two kinds of loss. In order to verity the simulation results, the experimental platform of DC motor-SRG is built and the modified angle position control (APC) method which can specify the current shape optionally is presented. By comparing the system efficiency at the three kinds of typical current waveform, the correctness and feasibility of the theory is verified. The proposed method is simple, reliable, and easy to achieve.

This paper presents a wavelet-fuzzy based controller for indirect field oriented control of three-phase induction motor drives. The discrete wavelet transform is used to decompose the error between the actual speed and the command speed of the induction motor drive into different frequency components. The transformed error coefficients along with the scaling gains are used for generating the control component of the motor. Self-tuning fuzzy logic is used for online tuning of the scaling gains of the controller. The proposed controller has the ability to meet the speed tracking requirements in the closed loop system. The complete indirect field oriented control scheme incorporating the proposed wavelet-fuzzy based controller is investigated theoretically and simulated under various dynamic operating conditions. The simulation results are compared with a conventional proportional integral controller and a fuzzy based controller. The speed control scheme incorporating the proposed controller is implemented in real time using a digital processor control board. Simulation and experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

A Single phase induction motor is the predominant fractional horsepower power rated, extensively used in domestic and industrial application. For example, these motors provide the motive power to washing machines, fans, refrigerators, etc. In this paper, single phase induction motor input current was detected by a small current transformer and determined TRIAC gate signal by using op-amp analog circuit. The soft-start strategy is based on limited auxiliary current angle during starting period in the closed-loop control. The Simulation and experimental result show the motor's starting characteristics of the proposal starting system and are compared with centrifugal switch starting motor.

This paper investigates the conducted-noise characteristics of a digitally-controlled randomly-switched dc-dc converter. In order to investigate the effect of the suggested digital controller on the conducted-noise characteristics of a dc-dc converter, three factors have been studied: the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) clock speed, the randomization ratio percentage, and the effect of using a closed loop feedback controller. A field-programmable gate array is much more flexible than analog control circuits, has a lower cost, and can be used for power supply applications. A novel FPGA-based implementation has been suggested for obtaining the experimental validations and realizing the studied concepts. Furthermore, the experimental results have been discussed and design guidelines have been included.
