This paper proposes a modified space-vector pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy which can restrict the common-mode voltage for three-phase to three-phase matrix converter and still keep sinusoidal input and output waveforms and unity power factor at the input side. The proposed control method has been developed based on contributing the appropriate space vectors instead of using zero space vectors. The advantages of this proposed method is to reduce the peak value of common-mode voltage to 42% beside the lower high harmonic components as compared to the conventional SVM method. Hence, the new table is also presented with the new space vector rearrangement. Furthermore, the voltage transfer ratio is unaffected by the proposed method. A simulation of the overall system has been carried out to validate the advantages of the proposed method.

This paper proposes phase current reconstruction techniques for two-phase two-leg and two-phase four-leg inverters using a single current sensor. In the proposed methods, one phase current is sampled simultaneously with a particular branch current by using only one current sensor, and then current reconstruction algorithms are applied to extract the information on two phase currents from the sensor output. The sampled current information is periodically updated at the peak and the valley of the triangular carrier waveform in each switching cycle of pulse-width modulation (PWM). The voltage vector spaces where the phase currents can be reconstructed are evaluated. Compared to the existing method using two individual current sensors in two phases, the proposed schemes can save implementation cost since it is possible to remove one current sensor. In addition, the proposed methods are free from gain discrepancy issues between two current sensors. Simulations and experiments show excellent current reconstruction performance of the proposed methods.

지구온난화 방지 등 환경보전을 목적으로 전기기기 및 설비의 전력소비를 저감시키기 위한 성에너지관련법이 일부에서 시행되어 각 방면에서 그에 대한 대책이 이루어지고 있다. 전기기기 중에서도 공조기는 일반가정의 소비전력에서 차지하고 있는 비율이 $24\%$로 상당히 큰 편이다 최근 공조기는 소비전력을 저감시키기 위해 기간부품의 효율 개선을 도모하여 왔으나, 이 효율 개선에는 전력소비가 큰 압축기(탑재)모터와 이것을 구동하는 인버터의 손실 저감도 반드시 필요하다. 또 효율개선 외에 공조기 운전시의 쾌적성 향상의 관점에서 저진동화 및 저소음화를 도모할 필요가 있어 구조명과 함께 인버터 제어면에서의 대책을 시행하여 왔다. 압축기 중에서도 성능개선이 두드러진 룸에어컨은 압축기에 고효율의 브러시레스 DC모터를 탑재하여 정현파구동방식을 이용한 인버터에 의해 고효율화를 실현하였다. 이 정현파구동방식은 독자적인 과(過)변조 PWM(Pulse-Width Modulation) 방식을 적용하여 효율 개선에 크게 기여하고 있다. 또 인버터는 압축기 특유의 맥동(脈動)부하에 기인하는 진동을 제어$\cdot$억제하여 저진동화를 실현하였다. 또한 패키지에어컨에서는 인버터 캐리어주파수에 기인하는 캐리어음(音)을 인버터제어로 억제하여 저소음화를 실현하였다. 본고에서는 공조기를 대상으로 특히 에너지 소비가 큰 압축기용 모터와 이것을 구동하는 인버터의 효율개선 기술과 저진동화 및 저소음화를 도모하기 위한 인버터 응용기술에 관하여 기술한다.

Traditional ankle rehabilitation procedures are tedious, repetitive, and require therapist's help. Therefore, they do not provide patients with good motivation to actively participate in the rehabilitation exercises. In addition, objective diagnosis and evaluation of the treatment progress have been difficult because records of exercise history are made by passive instruments from time to time. The virtual reality technology can make these procedures more fun so that patients can perform everyday rehabilitation exercises more actively. Moreover, haptics technology can give active resistance to the patients ankle motion to improve strength of muscles as well as can record ankle's motion and force histories for objective diagnosis and evaluation. This paper summarizes development of a virtual environment fur reforming the conventional ankle rehabilitation procedures. First of all, conventional rehabilitation procedures have been summarized. Secondly, haptic design and control, user interface design, virtual environment contents design are described. Lastly, mutual cooperation among many developers including medical doctors and therapists and future works are commented.

휴대용 전자제품의 증가에 따라 배터리의 사용 시간을 증가시키기 위한 파워메니지먼트 회로의 설계는 매우 중요해 지고 있다. 이에 따라 switching power supply, 특히 DC-DC 변환기의 필요성은 더욱 커지고 있다. 기존 DC-DC 변환기용 컨트롤로 칩들은 순수한 아날로그 방식으로 설계되어 왔었다. 본 논문에서는 아날로그 방식의 단점을 극복하기 위한 디지털방식 컨트롤러 칩의 제작 및 측정된 연구 결과를 소개한다. 디지털 컨트롤러의 장점으로는 설계시간이 빠르고, 설계 변경을 쉽게 할수 있다는 점이다. 그러나 DC-DC 컨버터의 최종 출력 전압은 아날로그 전압이기 때문에, 아날로그를 디지털로 변환해 주는 장치가 디지털 컨트롤러에는 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 flash 방식의 데이터 변환기 대신에 회로설계가 단순화된 델타시그마 모듈레이션을 사용하여 아날로그 신호를 디지털 신호로 변환하였다. 개발된 CMOS 컨트롤로 칩은 테스트 보드 측정을 통하여 성공적인 동작이 검증되었다.

We propose a face recognition and notification system that can transform visual face information into tactile signals in order to help visually impaired people. The proposed system consists of a glasses type camera, a mobile computer and an electronic cane. The glasses type camera captures the frontal view of the user, and sends this image to mobile computer. The mobile computer starts to search for human's face in the image when obstacles are detected by ultrasonic sensors. In a case that human's face is detected, the mobile computer identifies detected face. At this time, Adaboost and compressive sensing are used as a detector and a classifier, respectively. After the identification procedures of the detected face, the identified face information is sent to controller attached to a cane using a Bluetooth communication. The controller generates motor control signals using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) according to the recognized face labels. The vibration motor generates vibration patterns to inform the visually impaired person of the face recognition result. The experimental results of face recognition and notification system show that proposed system is helpful for visually impaired people by providing person identification results in front of him/her.

In this paper, a low loss magnetic levitation(Maglev) system is suggested and tested. The suggested Maglev system includes four hybrid magnets which consist of permanent magnet and coil. In the steady state, the levitated module system can be supported by attraction force generated by permanent magnet. The coil current controls only dynamic loads due to external disturbances. The module systems are designed by using finite element method(FEM) software tools such as MAXWELL and ANSYS. Also, digital control systems are designed to keep the magnet airgap at a constant value. The control systems include a VME(versa module europa)-based CPU(central processing unit) board, AD(analog to digital) board, PWM(pulse width modulation) board, 4-quadrant chopper, and sensors. In order to estimate the vertical velocity of the magnet, we use second order state observer with acceleration and gap signals as input and output signals, respectively. The characteristics of the suggested low loss Maglev system are demonstrated by experimental results showing coil current of 0A in the steady state of 3m airgap and performance specifications are satisfied for reference gap and force disturbance.

This article deals with the sensor-less control of a DC Motor via a SEPIC Converter-Full Bridge combination powered through solar panels. We simultaneously regulate, both, the output voltage of the SEPIC-converter to a value larger than the solar panel output voltage, and the shaft angular velocity, in any of the turning senses, so that it tracks a pre-specified constant reference. The main result of our proposed control scheme is an efficient linear controller obtained via Lyapunov. This controller is based on measurements of the converter currents and voltages, and the DC motor armature current. The control law is derived using an exact stabilization error dynamics model, from which a static linear passive feedback control law is derived. All values of the constant references are parameterized in terms of the equilibrium point of the multivariable system: the SEPIC converter desired output voltage, the solar panel output voltage at its Maximun Power Point (MPP), and the DC motor desired constant angular velocity. The switched control realization of the designed average continuous feedback control law is accomplished by means of a, discrete-valued, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Experimental results are presented demonstrating the viability of our proposal.

This study presents a new interleaved three-level zero-voltage switching (ZVS) converter for high-voltage and high-current applications. Two circuit cells are operated with interleaved pulse-width modulation in the proposed converter to reduce the current ripple at the input and output sides, as well as to decrease the current rating of output inductors for high-load-current applications. Each circuit cell includes one half-bridge converter and one three-level converter at the primary side. At the secondary side, the transformer windings of two converters are connected in series to reduce the size of the output inductor or switching current in the output capacitor. Based on the three-level circuit topology, the voltage stress of power switches is clamped at $V_{in}/2$. Thus, MOSFETs with 500 V voltage rating can be used at 800 V input voltage converters. The output capacitance of the power switch and the leakage inductance (or external inductance) are resonant at the transition interval. Therefore, power switches can be turned on under ZVS. Finally, experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

In this paper, the induction motor bearing fault diagnosis system using current signals which are measured by over-sampling method is presented. In the case of inverter fed motor drive unlike line-driven motor drive, that make a lot of noise which can cause a wrong fault signals because of PWM(pulse width modulation) voltage. So, the current signals for fault diagnosis need very precise and high resolution information, which means this system demand additional hardware such as low pass filter, high resolution ADC system and so on to use fault diagnosis system. Therefore, the proposed over-sampling method is expected to contribute to low cost fault diagnosis system even though previous inverter fed motor drive without any additional hardware. In order to confirm the presented algorithms, various experiments for bearing faults are tested and the line current spectrum of each faulty situation using park transformation is compared with a FFT results.
