Doubly Fed Induction Generator(DFIG) systems occupy the largest proportion of worldwide wind energy generation market. DFIG systems are very sensitive to grid disturbances especially to voltage dips due to the structure of the stator connected to grid. In the past, when a grid fault occurs generators are separated from grid(trip method) in order to protect the systems. Nowadays, due to the growing penetration level of wind power, many countries have made some requirements that wind turbines are required to have Low Voltage Ride Through(LVRT) capability during grid faults. In this paper, a flux tracking LVRT control strategy based on system modeling equations is proposed. The validity of the proposed strategy is verified through computer simulations.

The brake system of train must posses the large braking effort in order to stop the train safely within the limited traveling distance. But, the excessive braking effort has been deteriorated the ride comfort due to high level of deceleration and jerk, and sometimes occurred the skid, because the applied braking force exceeds the allowable adhesive force. This skid causes not only to increase the stopping distance but also to deteriorate the safety of train and damage the rail surface by wheel flat. In the present paper, the braking force for disc brake of Korea High Speed Train (HSR350x) was measured through on-line test and the adhesion force was estimated by using the analytic model in the skid condition. Also, we have discussed the relationship between the actual disc brake force and the adhesion force in real skid condition.

This paper addresses experimental results carried out to investigate the transmission of seat vibration to the head for Korean. Vertical seat vibration in the frequency range of 0.5-30 Hz was applied to a seated Korean male subject. To examine the intra-variable effects on transmissibility, five different postures and three different vibration excitation levels were considered. The applied acceleration and head accelerations of the seated subject were measured simultaneously by using a 6-axes bite-bar. Detailed experimental results of measured transmissibilities are illustrated for each posture and/or vibration excitation level. They are found to allow the identification of dynamic characteristics of Korean seated body for various real vibration environments. Furthermore, they are expected to be very useful in designing new seats for automotive and railway vehicles and in improving their vibration ride quality.

Recently many studies have been carried out to predict the characteristics of vehicle noise and to reduce the noise for enhancing the ride quality. In this study, the structural-acoustic coupling theory and the acoustic finite element theory were reviewed, and the structural acoustic coupling analysis was applied to an automobile. Because of nonuniformed lateral shape of a compartment cavity, the acoustic modes were calculated with 3-D finite element modeling. The structural modes were measured with the modal testing. Using the structural-acoustic cooling analysis, the modes which strongly coupled to the interior noise were identified and the boundary regions which could reduce noise level efficiently by structural modification were predicted.

This paper addresses experimental results carried out to investigate the characteristics of dynamic mass for Korean. Vertical seat vibration in the frequency range of 0.5-30 Hz was applied to a seated Korean male subject. To examine the intra-variable effects on dynamic mass, five different postures and three different vibration excitation levels were considered. The applied acceleration and transmitted force to the hip of the seated subject were measured simultaneously. Detailed experimental results of measured dynamic mass are illustrated for each posture and/or vibration excitation level. Maximum peaks of around 5 Hz were observed for most experimental cases. They are found to allow the identification of dynamic characteristics of Korean seated body for various real vibration environments. Furthermore, they are expected to be very useful in designing new seats for automotive and railway vehicles and in improving their vibration ride duality.

This paper investigates control algorithms for a doubly fed induction generator with a back-to-back three-level neutral-point clamped voltage source converter in medium voltage wind power system under unbalanced grid conditions. Control algorithms to compensate for unbalanced conditions have been investigated with respect to four performance factors; fault ride-through capability, instantaneous active power pulsation, harmonic distortions, and torque pulsation. The control algorithm having zero amplitude of torque ripple shows the most cost-effective performance concerning torque pulsation. The least active power pulsation is produced by control algorithm that nullifies the oscillating component of the instantaneous stator active and reactive power. Combination of these two control algorithms depending on the operating requirements and depth of grid unbalance presents most optimized performance factors under the generalized unbalanced operating conditions leading to high performance DFIG wind turbine system. The proposed control algorithms are verified through transient response in the simulation.

Traditional passive suspension has limitations to meet the required specifications of high level trains, and so Active suspension system is proposed to meet the requirements with active components which could be controlled by external signal for optimized behavior of train. Active suspension is to be divided by Full active suspension and Semi-active suspension whether using the external power source or not, and though the performance of Semi-Active suspension is worse than Full one. Semi-active suspension is focused with its effectiveness per cost. Semi-Active suspension system consists of sensors, ECU (electrical control unit), and variable damper, which are to be designed to be fit for train system. And the software of ECU is to be developed for to be suited to its dynamic behavior through simulation result calculated by proven model. In this experimental study, the hardware and software of semi-active suspension system is to be realized and its performance for improvement of ride quality to be confirmed through roller rig test.

This paper investigates control algorithms for a doubly fed induction generator(DFIG) with a back-to-back three-level neutral-point clamped voltage source converter in medium voltage wind power system under unbalanced grid conditions. Two different control algorithms to compensate for unbalanced conditions are proposed. Evaluation factors of control algorithm are fault ride-through(FRT) capability, efficiency, harmonic distortions and torque pulsation. Zero regulated negative sequence stator current control algorithm has the most effective performance concerning FRT capability and efficiency. Ripple-free control algorithm nullifies oscillation component of active power and reactive power. Ripple-free control algorithm shows the least harmonic distortions and torque pulsation. Combination of zero regulated negative sequence stator current and ripple-free control algorithm control algorithm depending on the operating requirements and depth of grid unbalance presents the most optimized performance factors under the generalized unbalanced operating conditions leading to high performance DFIG wind turbine system.

This paper addresses the numerical study on the dynamics of the High-speed EMU to enhance the ride quality. The 17 and 34 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) dynamic models for a single railway vehicle are proposed, and its vibrational characteristics according to the nonuniform rail profile are analyzed via Matlab. The validity of the proposed 34-DOF model are verified by comparing its dynamic characteristics and those from ADAMS/Rail. In addition, the critical dynamic parameters are identified by the parametric analysis, and rough design variables to reduce the vibration level of the railway vehicle are proposed. Finally, the frequency analysis - FFT - are conducted to extract the resonant frequencies, which have a significant influence on the determination of the critical speed of the railway vehicle. It is demonstrated that the results from the Matlab-based numerical analysis of the 34-DOF dynamic model are similar to those from ADAMS/Rail.
