This study proposes a circulating current reduction method that uses high-frequency voltage compensation when carrier phase difference occurs between two inverters in MSIS. In MSIS, inverters are configured in parallel to increase power capacity and to increase efficiency by using inverters only as needed. However, in the parallel inverter structure, circulating current is inevitably generated. Circulating current increases the stress on the switch, adversely affects the current control performance, and renders load sharing difficult. The proposed method compensates for the output voltage reference of the slave module by using the high-frequency voltage so that the switching pattern of each module is matched even in asynchronous carriers. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulations and experiments with 600 W IPMSM.

In this paper, an operating algorithm for single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor based on PR current controller is proposed. In general, an asymmetric gap may occur depending on the shape of the rotor of single-phase PMSM, and this causes noise and vibration during high-speed operation. Therefore, in this paper, an operating algorithm for a single-phase PMSM usihng a proportional resonant current conrtoller with excellent control stability was proposed. Proportional resonant current controller has on steady state error is relatevly robust against distortion. Also, steady state error of AC input can be eleminated without complicated calculation process. The validity and availability of the proposed algorithm are verified through the experiment.

The main purpose of this paper is to present a simulation model for assessing the impacts of a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) on the distribution network and perform a simulation analysis of volt-age profiles and harmonics along the wind turbine installed feeder using the presented model. The modeled wind energy conversion system consists of a fixed pitch wind turbine and a permanent-magnet synchronous generator, in which a controllable power electronics inverter performs variable speed operation and reactive power output control. Impact analysis on voltage profiles and harmonics of a VSWT-installed distribution feeder is addressed and simulated in terms of steady state and dynamic behaviors. Various capacities and different modes of variable speed wind turbines are simulated and investigated. Case studies demonstrate how feeder voltages are influenced by capacity and control modes of wind turbines and changes in wind speed under various network conditions, and show harmonic impacts on the feeder. Modeling and simulation analysis is based on PSCAD/EMTDC a software package.

This paper proposes a seamless MPPT operation mode transfer method of photovoltaic system. The photovoltaic system consists of a DC-DC boost converter, a DC-Link, and a 3-level neutral point clamp (NPC) type inverter. The PV voltage fluctuates due to the output characteristics of the solar pane1 depending on the irradiation amount and the temperature. The photovoltaic system requires seamless MPPT mode transfer method that the discontinuity does not occur in order to supply the stable power to system without affecting the fluctuation of the PV voltage. MPPT operation is divided into two modes by the voltage reference. Under the condition that the PV voltage is below 650V, the DC-DC boost converter performs MPPT through duty control based on perturb & observe (P&O) method, and the inverter conducts DC-link voltage and grid current controls in synchronous reference frame. On the other hand, when the PV voltage exceeds above 650V, inverter performs MPPT in accordance with the variation of DC-link voltage control while the converter stops operating. Two MPPT operation modes is smoothly transferred through the proposed method that DC-link voltage or grid current commands are appropriately adjusted from the certain criteria. The feasibility of the MPPT operation mode transfer method is verified using a 10kW solar photovoltaic system, experimental results have good performances that the fluctuation of PV current is reduced to 100%.

To improve the control performance of the IPMSM, a novel nonlinear disturbance observer is proposed by using the T-S fuzzy model. A T-S fuzzy model is the combination of local linear models considered at each operating point. Usually the inverse model is easy to obtain in linear systems but not in nonlinear systems. To design a nonlinear disturbance observer, a nonlinear inverse model is obtained based on nonlinear inverse model which is the fuzzy combination of the local linear inverse models. The proposed DOB is used with a PDC controller which is one of the T-S fuzzy controller, and its performance improvement is shown from the simulation results.

Objective : This study was performed to assess the efficacy of GKS in patients with ten or more brain metastases. Methods : From Aug 2002 to Dec 2007, twenty-six patients (13 men and 13 women) with ten or more cerebral metastatic lesions underwent GKS. The mean age was 55 years (32-80). All patients had Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score of 70 or better. According to recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) classification, 3 patients belonged to class I and 23 to class II. The location of primary tumor was lung (21), breast (3) and unknown (2). The mean number of the lesions per patient was 16.6 (10-37). The mean cumulated volume was 10.9 cc (1.0-42.2). The median marginal dose was 15 Gy (9-23). Overall survival and the prognostic factors for the survival were retrospectively analyzed by using Kaplan Meier method and univariate analysis. Results : Overall median survival from GKS was 34 weeks (8-199). Local control was possible for 79.5% of the lesions and control of all the lesions was possible in at least 14 patients (53.8%) until 6 months after GKS. New lesions appeared in 7 (26.9%) patients during the same period. At the last follow-up, 18 patients died; 6 (33.3%) from systemic causes, 10 (55.6%) from neurological causes, and 2 (11.1 %) from unknown causes. Synchronous onset in non-small cell lung cancer (p=0.007), high KPS score (${\geq}80$, p=0.029), and controlled primary disease (p=0.020) were favorable prognostic factors in univariate analysis. Conclusion : In carefully selected patients, GKS may be a treatment option for ten or more brain metastases.

While Long Term Evolution-Frequency Division Duplexing (LTE-FDD) is regarded as one of the strong candidates for "4G" wireless broadband access in FDD field, LTE-Time Division Duplexing (TDD) is emerging as one possible migration path for WiMAX-TDD in some cases as well as the migration path for Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA). In this paper, we analyze the feasibility of dual mode with LTE-TDD in two combinations: dual mode LTE-FDD/TDD and dual mode Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX)-TDD/LTE-TDD. Thanks to the commonality in numerology, terminology, and frame structure between LTE-FDD and LTE-TDD, dual mode LTE-FDD/TDD looks feasible in a cost-effective manner. Thanks to the commonality in scheduling algorithm, control mechanism, and supported spectrum bands, it is shown that dual mode WiMAX-TDD/LTE-TDD looks feasible as well. It should be also noted that the commonality in numerology and frame structure is critical for building a chip while the commonality in algorithms and control mechanisms is critical to make it work.

In this paper, a photovoltaic system is designed with PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) voltage source inverter. Proposed synchronous signal and control signal was processed by 56F8323 microprocessor for stable modulation. The PWM voltage source inverter using inverter consists of complex type of electric power converter to compensate for the defect, that is solar cell cannot be developed continuously by connecting with the source of electric power for ordinary use. It can cause the effect of saving electric power, from 10 to 20[%]. The PWM voltage source inverter operates in situation that its output voltage is in same phase with the utility voltage. In addition, I connected extra power to the system through operation the system voltage and inverter power in a synchronized way by extracting the system voltage so that the phase of the system and PWM voltage inverter can be synchronized. In the system of this research showed good results after being controlled in order to provide stable power to the load and the system through maintaining and low output power of harmonics.

Recently, the optical subscriber interface module uses the high performance network processor to quickly develop new application services such as MPLS, VPN, RPR and EPON with a short time-to-market. Although a number of vendors are developing the network processor at 2.5Gbps, only the IBM NP4GS3 can provide packet processing with wire-speed at 2.5Gbps. IBM NP4GS3, however, uses its unique speed DASL interface instead of CSIX-Ll interface, which has standardized by M: Forum currently Therefore, we implement an interconnection mechanism to use the switch fabric with CSIX-Ll interface. In this paper, we suggest the architecture and a packet control mechanism supporting interconnection between IBM NP4GS3 DASL and CSIX-Ll switch interface using the common IBM UDASL ASIC and XILINX FPGA.

This paper presents a new possibility of calculating optimal control for large scale which consist of non-linear dynamic sub-systems using two level hierarchical structures method. And the proposed method is based on the idea of block pulse transformation to simplify the algorithm and its calculation. This algorithm used an expansion around the equilibrium point of the system to fix the second and higher order terms. These terms are compensated for iteratively at the second level by providing a prediction for the states and controls which form of a part of the higher order terms. In this new approach the quadratic penalty terms are not used in the cost function. This allows convergence over a longer time horizon and also provides faster convergence. And the method is applied to the problem of optimization of the synchronous machine. Results show that the new approach is superior to conventional numerical method or other previous algorithm.
