Electrolytic capacitors are used in variety of equipments as smoothening element of the power converters because it has high capacitance for its size and low price. Electrolytic capacitors, which is most of the time affected by aging effect, plays a very important role for the power electronics system quality and reliability. Therefore it is important to estimate the parameter of an electrolytic capacitor to predict the failure. This objective of this paper is to propose a new method to detect the rise of equivalent series resistor(ESR) in order to realize the online failure prediction of electrolytic capacitor for DC output filter of power converter. The ESR of electrolytic capacitor estimated from RMS result of filtered waveform(BPF) of the ripple capacitor voltage/current. Therefore, the preposed online failure prediction method has the merits of easy ESR computation and circuit simplicity. Simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the performance of the proposed on-line method.

This paper describe a control scheme for direct torque control of BLDC Motor. The proposed Luenberger Observer scheme calculate flux errors in order to control the torque and flux more correctly. This proposed control scheme has not the requirement of a separate current regulator and proportional-integral (PI) control of the flux and torque, there by improving transient performance and also has the advantage of less torque ripple in steady state with a fixed switching period. The effect of proposed method has been proven by simulations.

A novel single-stage power factor corrected (PFC) drive for switched reluctance motor (SRM) is presented to achieve sinusoidal, near unity power factor input current. The proposed PFC SRM drive has no additional active switch. And a single-stage approach, which combines a DC link capacitor used as do source and a drive used for driving the motor into one power stage, has a simple structure and low cost. The characteristics and validity of the proposed circuit will be discussed in depth through the experimental results.

In this paper, we consider feedback-linearizing control of VR (Variable Reluctance) motors which have been increasingly used in high performance direct-drive applications. We characterize all torque controllers that can make the generated torque of a VR motor linear to torque command but without torque ripple. The torque controlles maximize the range of torque commands which are admissible under the physical limitation in stator currents. The whole class of all such torque controllers is parameterized in the explicit form which contains a function to be chosen freely. This free function can be used to achieve other control objectives as well as linear dynamic characteristics. As the examples for optimal choices of the free function, we actually determine two optimal free functions, one for minimal rate of change in current commands and the other for minimal power loss due to stator resistance. To illuminate further the practical use of torque controllers proposed in this paper, we present some experimental results for the case of a commercially available VR motor.

Direct torque control(DTC) of AC motor has the fast torque and flux dynamic responses even though it has very simple scheme to implement. DTC is also very simple in its implementation because it needs only two hysteresis comparators and switching vector table for both flux and torque control. The amplitude of hysteresis band greatly influences on the drive performance such as flux and torque ripple, switching frequency and current harmonics. Therefore, authors analysis flux and torque hysteresis bands is suggested considering switching frequency and harmonic distortion of currents.

단상 계통연계형 인버터에서 전류센서를 통한 상전류 측정시 옵셋 오차는 전류센서와 측정 경로상에 위치한 아날로그 소자의 전압 불균형 및 비선형성으로 인하여 발생하게 된다. 또한 데드타임은 전력용 반도체 스위치를 제어하기 위한 PWM 신호 출력시 필연적으로 발생된다. 본 논문에서는 데드타임으로 인하여 왜곡된 상전류에 포함된 옵셋 오차에 의한 영향을 분석하고 동기좌표계 dq축 전류에 포함된 특정 고조파 성분을 제거하기 위하여 PR 제어기를 사용한 알고리즘이 제안되었다. 데드타임 및 옵셋 오차로 인해 발생된 전류맥동 보상을 위한 기준신호로는 동기좌표계 dq축 전류를 사용하였다. 제안된 알고리즘의 타당성을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 증명하였다.

본 논문은 고속 소형 PMSM을 벡터제어 방식으로 구동하는 장치에서 전류 리플을 저감하기 위한 방법으로서 외부 인덕터를 추가하는 기법을 다룬다. 고속 소형 PMSM은 설계 특성상 인덕턴스가 매우 작기 때문에 전류 리플이 크게 나타나는데, 이오 인해 전동기 코어에서의 히스테리시스 손실이 증가하고 제어 시스템이 불안정하게 된다. 이 문제를 해결하면서도 벡터제어를 용이하게 할 수 있도록 인덕터를 추가하는 기법을 검토하고, 적절한 외부 인덕턴스 값을 정량적으로 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 100 W급 50,000 rpm의 PMSM 시스템에 대하여 시뮬레이션을 실시하여 제안된 기법의 타당성을 확인한다.

A Linear Pulse Motor (LPM) is a direct drive motor that has good performance in terms of accuracy, velocity and acceleration compared to the conventional rotating system with toothed belts and ball screws. However, since an LPM needs supporting devices which maintain constant air-gap and has strong nonlinearity caused by leakage magnetic flux, friction and cogging, etc., there are many difficulties in improvement on accuracy with conventional control theory. Moreover, when designing the position controller of LPM, the modeling error and load variations has not been considered. In order to compensate these components, the neural network with conventional feedback controller is introduced. This neural network of feedback error learning type changes the current commands to improve position accuracy. As a result of experiments, we observes that more accurate position control is possible compared to conventional controller.
