Miller feedback compensation is introduced in a low dropout regulator (LDO) in order to obtain a capacitor-free regulator and improve the fast transient response. The conventional LDO has a limited bandwidth because of the large-size output capacitor and parasitic gate capacitance in the power MOSFET. In order to obtain a stable frequency response without the output capacitor, LDO is designed with resistor-capacitor (R-C) compensation and this is achieved with a connection between the gain-stage and the power MOS. An R-C compensator is suggested to provide a pole and zero to improve the stability. The proposed LDO is designed with the 0.35 μm CMOS process. Simulation testing shows that the phase margin in the Bode plot indicates a stable response, which is over 100^o. In the load regulation, the transient time is within 55 μs when the load current changes from 0.1 to 1 mA.

This paper proposes a compensation algorithm for the analog rotor position errors caused by nonideal sinusoidal encoder output signals including offset and gain errors. In order to achieve a much higher resolution, position sensors such as resolvers or incremental encoders can be replaced by sinusoidal encoders. In practice, however, the periodic ripples related to the analog rotor position are generated by the offset and gain errors between the sine and cosine output signals of sinusoidal encoders. In this paper, the effects of offset and gain errors are easily analyzed by applying the concept of a rotating coordinate system based on the dq transformation method. The synchronous d-axis signal component is used directly to detect the amplitude of the offset and gain errors for the proposed compensator. As a result, the offset and gain errors can be well corrected by three integrators located on the synchronous d-axis component. In addition, the proposed algorithm does not require any additional hardware and can be easily implemented by a simple integral operation. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through several experimental results.

If an internal combustion engine is operated by consolidated control, the minimum fuel consumption is achieved satisfying the demanded objectives. For this, it is necessary that the engine is operated on the ideal operating line which satisfies minimum fuel consumption. In this context of view, there are many tries to achieve given object. However, the parameter in the internal combustion engines are variable and depend on the operating points. Therefore, it is necessary to cope with the uncertainties such that the optimal operating may be possible. From this point of view, this paper gives a controller design method and a robust stability condition for engine torque control which satisfies the given control performance and robust stability in the presence of physical parameter perturbation. Exactly, the present paper considers a robust stability of this 2DOF servosystem with nonlinear type uncertainty in the engine system, and a robust stability condition for the servosystem is introduced. This result guarantees that if the plant uncertainty is in the permissible set defined by the given condition then a gain tuning can be carried out to suppress the influence of the plant uncertainties.

This paper presents a voltage and frequency controller (VFC) for a 4-wire stand-alone wind energy conversion system (WECS) employing an asynchronous generator. The proposed VF con-troller consists of a three leg IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Junction Transistor) based voltage source converter and a battery at its DC bus. The neutral terminal for the consumer loads is created using a T-connected transformer, which consists of only two single phase transformers. The control algorithm of the VF controller is developed for the bidirectional flow capability of the active power and reactive power control by which it controls the WECS voltage and frequency under different dynamic conditions, such as varying consumer loads and varying wind speeds. The WECS is modeled and simulated in MATLAB using Simulink and PSB toolboxes. Extensive results are presented to demonstrate the capability of the VF controller as a harmonic eliminator, a load balancer, a neutral current compensator as well as a voltage and frequency controller.

Sensorless control methods are generally used in motor control for home-appliances because of the material cost and manufactureing standard restrictions. The current model-based control algorithm is mainly used for PMSM sensorless control in the home-appliance industry. In this control method, the rotor position is estimated by using the d-axis and q-axis current errors between the real system and a motor model of the position estimator. As a result, the accuracy of the motor model parameters are critical in this control method. A mismatch of the PMSM parameters affects the speed and torque in low speed, steadystate responses. Rotor position errors are mainly caused by a mismatch of the stator resistance. In this paper, a stator resistance compensation algorithm is proposed to improve sensorless control performance. This algorithm is easy to implement and does not require a modification of the motor model or any special interruptions of the controller. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through experimental results.

유도전동기의 벡터제어를 수행하기 위해서 회전자 자속의 위치정보가 필수적이다. 하지만 정확한 회전자 위치정보를 얻기 위해서는 속도정보가 필수적이다. 속도정보 없는 개루프 방식의 제어나 전동기 방정식을 이용하는 방법들은 노이즈나 전동기 상수오차등에 의해 적용하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 자속관측기와 속도추정기를 분리하여 임의의 자속관측기를 사용할 수 있는 속도추정기를 제안하고 기존의 세 가지 자속관측기를 제안된 속도추정기에 적용하였다. 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 제안된 속도추정기의 타당성을 검증하였고 세 가지 자속관측기의 특성을 분석하였다.

In this paper, we implement a non-time-varying transfer function of the duty ratio to improve the control characteristics in a control system that Input voltage and the output voltage is varied, DC / DC converters for bi-directional charging. When control is performed with using controller gain of conventional design, characteristics of the control is varied to fluctuations of the input voltage. The proposed method is the equivalently removing method for duty ratio in entire control block, by voltage controller gain is changed for inverse of the duty ratio. The proposed non-time-varying duty ratio transfer function is applied to DC / DC converter for bi-directional charging. In this paper, feasibility and superiority is verified through PSIM simulations and experiments.

A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) applied to rapidly changing, highly unbalanced loads such as electric arc furnaces (EAFs), requires both positive-sequence and negative-sequence current control, which indicates fast response characteristics and can be controlled independently. Furthermore, a delta-connected STATCOM with cascaded H-bridge configuration accompanying multiple separate DC-sides, should have high performance zero-sequence current control to suppress a phase-to-phase imbalance in DC-side voltages when compensating for unbalanced load. In this paper, actual EAF data is analyzed to reflect on the design of current controllers and a pioneering zero-sequence current controller with a superb transient performance is devised, which generates an imaginary -axis component from the presumed response of forwarded reference. Via simulation and experiments, the performance of the positive, negative, and zero-sequence current control of a cascaded H-bridge STATCOM for EAF is verified.
