Static synchronous compensator(STATCOM)은 무효전력을 공급하여 외란을 완화하는 등 전력 품질을 향상시켜 전력 계통을 안정화하는 시스템이다. Cascaded H-bridge(CHB) 컨버터는 멀티레벨 구조를 가지므로 STATCOM 시스템 적용에 많은 이점이 있다. 하지만, 이러한 멀티레벨 CHB 컨버터의 안정적인 동작을 위해서는 균형 제어가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 Y 결선 CHB 컨버터의 레그 에너지 균형 제어에 사용되는 주입 영상분 전압에 대하여 분석하고 균형 제어의 동특성 향상을 위한 전향 보상 계산 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법을 적용하여 부하 불평형뿐만 아니라 계통 사고로 인한 계통 및 부하 동시 불균형에서도 안정적으로 시스템을 동작할 수 있다. 마지막으로 제안한 방법에 대한 수학적 타당성을 제시하고, 50MVA의 실제 스케일의 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 방법을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는, 결합 인덕터 정류단을 갖는 위상천이 풀브릿지 컨버터에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 동기정류기 제어 기법을 제안한다. 결합 인덕터 정류단을 활용하면 1차측 환류 전류를 감소 시켜 도통 손실을 줄일 수 있지만, 동시에 줄어든 전류로 인하여 레깅-레그 스위치의 영전압 스위칭을 달성하기 어려워진다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 변압기의 자화 전류를 이용할 수 있지만, 컨버터가 넓은 출력 전압 범위로 설계되는 경우 낮은 시비율을 기준으로 작게 설계된 자화 인덕턴스로 인하여, 높은 시비율로 구동 시 과도한 자화 전류로 인한 불필요한 도통 손실이 증가하는 문제점을 갖는다. 제안하는 제어 기법은 기존 동기정류기 제어와 달리 동기정류기를 기존보다 먼저 구동시켜 1차측에 환류 전류를 순간적으로 재생성할 수 있고, 이를 이용하여 레깅-레그 스위치의 영전압 스위칭을 달성할 수 있다. 따라서, 작은 자화 전류로 영전압 스위칭을 달성할 수 있으므로 1차측의 도통 손실을 줄여 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 제안하는 동기정류기 제어 기법의 효용성을 증명하기 위하여, 400V 입력, 27-54V/13A 출력에서 실험 검증을 진행하였다.

MSIS(Modular Scalable Inverter System)에서 모터 구동 시 발생하는 고주파 성분의 순환 전류는 구동 시스템의 효율 및 신뢰성을 저하시키기 때문에, 이를 저감하기 위한 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 동기화 기법의 구현이 필수적으로 요구 된다. 본 논문은 MSIS에서 PWM 동기화 기법을 적용하기 위한 모터 구동 인버터용 제어보드의 설계에 관한 것이다. 제어보드 간 PWM 동기화 기법을 적용하기 위해 DSP(Digital Signal Processor)의 EPWMSYNC를 활용하였다. EPWMSYNC은 서로 다른 DSP간 PWM의 위상을 동기화하는 기능으로 DSP의 EPWMSYNCO과 EPWMSYNCI를 사용한다. 설계한 제어보드는 EPWMSYNC 신호를 광케이블을 통해 다른 제어보드로 연결할 수 있도록 설계하여, 제어보드 간의 절연과 잡음의 영향을 최소화했다. 본 논문에서 설계한 제어보드의 EPWMSYNC를 시험하였으며, 600W급 IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)을 부하로 사용하는 시스템에서 설계된 제어보드의 유효성을 검증하였다.

This paper proposes a current compensation method of a three phase PWM converter. The phase angle of utility voltage is essential to control a PWM converter. In the case of using synchronous reference frame PLL to detect the phase angle of the distorted source, harmonics of source voltage cause the phase angle to be distorted. PWM converter control by the distorted phase angle results in input current harmonics. This paper proposes a current compensation method which can limit THD of Input currents below to 5% that is the harmonic current requirements by IEEE std. 519. Its validity is verified by simulation and experiment.

Theoretical IPMSM control technique is complicated, and reliability is low because of the changing parameters. Further, in case of general look-up table designing method which obtains torque characteristics (according to current and speed) or torque characteristics (according to magnetic flux through the entire control region), obtaining a precise result can be difficult and has the disadvantage taking too much time to establish a current look-up table. In this paper, the new auto maximum torque point tracking (MTPT) algorithm that automatically finds the optimum stator d - q axis electric current reference through the entire speed region is devised; consequently, it could establish a 3D look-up table with torque characteristics according to current and speed. In case of using the devised auto MTPT algorithm, the result value detailed was obtained in comparison with the generalized look-up design technique, and checked to reduce the current look-up table establishment time.

This paper describes the loss analysis based on load conditions of the air conditioning compressor motors using variable dc-link voltage. The losses of PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) should be analyzed by the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output of inverter. The harmonic loss by the PWM cannot consider that using the current source analysis of the inverter. In addition, when the voltage of dc-link is variable with the condition of variable speed and load conditions in motor, the losses of motor are also changeable, however it is hard to analyze those losses by only electromagnetic finite element method (FEM). Therefore, this paper proposes the analysis method considering the carrier frequency of the inverter and the varying state of the dc-link voltage through the FEM-control coupled analysis. Using proposed analysis method, additional core loss and eddy current loss of permanent magnet caused by PWM could be analyzed. Finally, the validity of the proposed analysis method is verified through the comparison the result of coupled analysis with experiment.

In this paper, a new on-line dead-time compensation method is proposed. The output voltage errors due to the dead-time effect is considered as disturbance voltages. The magnitude of the disturbance voltages is estimated using a time delay control technique and the disturbance voltages are calculated using the estimated values, measured currents, and position information. The calculated disturbance voltages are fed to voltage references in order to compensate the dead-time effect. The proposed method is applied to a PM synchronous motor drive system and implemented in a digital manner using a digital signal processor (DSP) TMS320C31. The experiments are carried out for this system to show the effectiveness of the proposed method and the results show the validity of the proposed method.

Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor (PMLSM) has high efficiency, high energy density, and high control-ability. But, the detent force always is produced by the structure of slot-teeth. There are the disadvantages such as noise and vibration of the apparatuses are induced and the control ability is curtailed because detent force acts as thrust ripple. Therefore, the detent force reduction is an essential requirement in PMLSM. Generally, the method, skewing permanent magnet or slot-teeth, is used to reduce the detent force. But the thrust is decreased at the same time. If permanent magnet is skewed, the lateral force which operates as the perpendicular direction of skew direction is generated in linear guide of PMLSM. So, V-skew model is proposed for the reduction of lateral force. The lateral force acts as braking force in linear motion guide, and it has bad influence to the characteristics of PMLSM. However, these problems will not be solved by 2-dimensional Finite Element Analysis (FEA). So, in this paper 3-dimensional FEA is applied to analyze the PMLSM where permanent magnet is skewed and has overhang. The detent force and thrust characteristics considering skew and overhang effects of permanent magnet are analyzed by 3-dimensional FEA and the results are compared with experimental values to verify the propriety of analysis.

In this paper, a novel motor control method is proposed to improve the performance of sensorless drive of BLDC motors. In the terminal voltage sensing method, which is a great portion of sensorless control, a precise rotor position cannot be obtained when excessive input is applied to the drive during synchronous operation mode. Especially in the transient state, the response characteristic decreases. To cope with this problem, the unknown input (back-EMF) is modelled as the additional state of system in this paper. Taking into account the disturbance adopted by the back-EMF, the observer can be obtained by the augmented system equation. An algorithm to detect the back-EMF of the BLDC motor using the state observer is constructed. As a result, the novel sensorless drive of BLDC motors that can strictly estimate rotor position and speed is proposed.
