This paper proposes a fault-tolerant control strategy with finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) based on hierarchical optimization for five-level H-bridge neutral-point-clamped (5L-HNPC) inverter-fed induction motor drives. Fault-tolerant operation is analyzed, and the fault-tolerant control algorithm is improved. Adopting FCS-MPC based on hierarchical optimization, where the voltage is used as the controlled objective, called model predictive voltage control (MPVC), the postfault controller is simplified as a two layer control. The first layer is the voltage jump limit, and the second layer is the voltage following control, which adopts the optimal control strategy to ensure the current following performance and uniqueness of the optimal solution. Finally, simulation and experimental results verify that 5L-HNPC inverter-fed induction motor drives have strong fault tolerant capability and that the FCS-MPVC based on hierarchical optimization is feasible.

Solar power generation systems require maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control to acquire maximum power using inefficient and high-cost PV modules. Most conventional MPPT algorithms are based on the slope-tracking concept. The perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm is a typical slope-tracking method. The two factors that determine the MPPT performance of P&O algorithm are the MPPT control period and the magnitude of the perturbation voltage. The MPPT controller quickly moves to the new maximum power point at insolation change when the perturbation voltage is set to large, and the error of output power will be huge in the steady state even when insolation is not changing. The dynamics of the MPPT controller can be accelerated even though the perturbation voltage is set to small when the MPPT control period is set to short. However, too short MPPT control period does not improve MPPT performance but consumes the MPPT controller resources. Therefore, analyzing the performance of the MPPT controller is necessary for actual insolation conditions in real weather environment to determine the optimum MPPT control period and the magnitude of the perturbation voltage. This study proposes an optimum MPPT control period that maximizes MPPT efficiency by measuring and analyzing actual insolation profiles in typical clear and cloudy weather in central Korea.

This paper describes development of hardware simulator for the PMSG wind power system, which was designed considering wind characteristic, blade characteristic and blade inertia compensation. The simulator consists of three major parts, such as wind turbine model using induction motor, PMSG generator, converter-inverter set. and control system. The turbine simulator generates torque and speed signals for a specific wind turbine with respect to given wind speed. This torque and speed signals are scaled down to fit the input of 2kW PMSG. The PMSG-side converter operates to track the maximum power point, and the grid-side inverter controls the active and reactive power supplied to the grid. The operational feasibility was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC, and the implementation feasibility was confirmed through experimental works with a hardware set-up.

In this study, an adaptive node generation procedure in the radial point interpolation method is proposed. Since we set the initial configuration of nodes by subdivision of background cell, abrupt changes of inter-nodal distance between higher and lower error regions are unavoidable. This unpreferable nodal spacing induces additional errors. To obtain the smoothy nodal configuration, it's regenerated by local Delaunay triangulation algorithm This technique was originally developed to generate a set of well-shaped triangles and tetrahedra. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, the results of making optimal nodal configuration with adaptive refinement method are investigated for stress concentration problems.

This study examines the relative efficiency of 34 local public medical centers in Korea. In order to concretely grasp the causes of inefficiency and suggest improvement solutions, the desirable set point was established based on the actual value which needs to be improved. As a result of analysis, we determined that output must be increased while input is held constant in order to improve effectiveness through the actual value and set point. Efficiency cannot be achieved if input is augmented solely to increase output. Also, to increase output, the medical centers need to improve their quality without increasing any input for customer visits and hospitalizations. Further, in order to strategically promote effectiveness and efficiency of local public medical centers, these medical centers must focus on input resource and patient interchange through the mutual cooperation with local private hospitals and university medical centers.

Simple tuning methods of PI, PD and PID controller are proposed for an integrating process with time delay. This is based on matching the coefficients of corresponding powers of s in the numerator and that in the denominator of the closed-loop transfer function. For set-point tracking problem, the derived controller is found to be a PD controller which is shown by Lee's tuning rule based on minimizing the performance indexes (ISE, IAE, ITAE) using a real-coded genetic algorithm. A method can be also proposed PI, PID controllers according to tuning parameter lambda $({\lambda})$ similar to IMC method. Simulation example is given to illustrate the set-point tracking and disturbance rejection performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of an asymptotically k-strict pseudo-contractive mapping in the setting of real Hilbert spaces. We establish some weak and strong convergence theorems of the sequences generated by our proposed scheme. Our results are more general than the known results which are given by many authors. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions for strong convergence of our iterative scheme are obtained.

This paper deals with a general contraction. Two fixed-point theorems for a limit weak-compatible pair of a multi-valued map and a self map on a D-metric space have been established. These results improve significantly, the main results of Dhage, Jennifer and Kang [5] by reducing its assumption and generalizing its contraction simultaneously. At the same time some results of Singh, Jain and Jain [12] are generalized from a self map to a pair of a set-valued and a self map. Theorems of Veerapandi and Rao [16] get generalized and improved by these results. All the results of this paper are new.

This paper deals with the tuning method of PID controls for process controls. It introduces the normalized process gain and the normalized process dead-time for processes based on Ziegler-Nichols tuning methods. In the case of PID auto-tuning, the first, this method applies Ziegler-Nichols tuning method and introduces the set-point weighting for reducing overshoot in the large normalized process gain or small normalized process dead-time, the second, this method is modified and includes the set-point weighting in the small normalized process gain or large normalized process dead-time. In the case of PI auto-tuning, this method is modified for reducing overshoot. This paper obtains empirical data with Ziegler-Nichols methods for refined Ziegler-Nichols tuning methods.

In this paper, we introduce a general iterative algorithm for finding a common element of the common fixed point set of an infinite family of ${\lambda}_i$-strict pseudo-contractions and the solution set of a general system of variational inclusions for two inverse strongly accretive operators in q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Then, we analyze the strong convergence of the iterative sequence generated by the proposed iterative algorithm under mild conditions.
