The aim of this study is to develop a technique for the accelerated life test of the capacitor in a propulsion control device of a traction inverter used for a high-speed train. Using this technique, the accelerated life test can possibly estimate the life cycle of a capacitor under various temperature conditions and irregularly applied voltage. The accelerated life test is conducted for the capacitor of the traction inverter. The common proceedings of this test are selection of failure mechanism, determination of accelerated stress, range determination of the accelerated stress, determination of the test condition, and distribution and determination of the sample. From this result, the continuous applied voltage was not considered for the acceleration factors anymore. Therefore, the final result having an acceleration factor of 9.4 (= 13,626/1,445) was observed. Furthermore, the life-shortening acceleration effect for the irregular applied voltage condition can be applied to various situations.

This paper presents a new multi-machine robust control based on an electric differential system for electric vehicle (EV) applications which is composed of four in-wheel permanent magnet synchronous motors. It is based on a new master-slave direct torque control (DTC) algorithm, which is used for the control of bi-machine traction systems based on a speed model reference adaptive system observer. The use of an electric differential in the design of a new EV constitutes a technological breakthrough. A classical system with a multi-inverter and a multi-machine comprises a three-phase inverter for each machine to be controlled. Another approach consists of only one three-phase inverter for several permanent magnet synchronous machines. The control of multi-machine single-inverter systems is the subject of this study. Several methods have been proposed for the control of multi-machine single-inverter systems. In this study, a new master-slave based DTC strategy is developed to generate an electric differential system. The entire system is simulated by Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the new multi-machine robust control based on an electric differential system for use in EV applications.

전기 철도계통은 기존 전력계통과 달리 단상, 대용량 부하로 필연적으로 전압강하, 전압불평형 및 고조파 왜곡 등의 전력품질의 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 문제점 중 상시전압강하는 전력품질의 가중 중요한 요소로서 SVC(Static Var Compensator) 또는 STACOM(Static Compensator)를 설치하여 전압강하를 보상하는 연구가 수행되었다. 또한 순시전압강하는 고속으로 운전중인 철도차량의 제어 및 안전에 상당한 영향을 미칠것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 AT(Auto Transformer)급전계통에 적용되는 순간전압강하 보상장치에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 순간전압강하에 의한 철도차량의 과도해석을 위해 전원, 철도급전변압기, AT, 철도선로 및 철도 차량부하를 모델링 하였다. 또한 순간전압강하 발생시 철도차량부하의 과도특성을 분석하였고 이를 보상하기위한 순간전압강하 보상장치 (DVR:Dynamic Voltage Restorer)를 제안하였다. 순간전압강하 보상 시뮬레이션 결과, 순간전압강하 보상장치의 철도급전계통의 적용은 상당히 유용함을 알수있었다.

Recently, SRMs are used in automobiles for power assistant steering, accessory motion control and traction drives. Especially in the motion control and traction drives, safety and efficiency are of paramount important. The paper describes the essential elements, faced in designing and constructing drive circuits for a switched reluctance motor for automobiles. These converters will be referred to as energy efficient C-dump converter and modified C-dump converter Energy efficient C-dump converter topology eliminate all the disadvantages of the C-dump converter without sacrificing its attractive features, and also provide some additional advantages that have lower number of power devices, full regenerative capability, free-wheeling in chopping or PWM mode, simple control strategy, and faster demagnetization during commutation. The experiments are peformed to verify the capability of proposed control method on 6/4 salient type SRM.

3차원 유한요소법을 이용하여 엔드코일 효과를 고려한 SRM의 자계해석을 수행하였다. 고정자 극 형상에 따른 자계특성의 비교를 통하여 제안된 형상에서 자계특성이 향상됨을 확인하였다. 해석한 자계특성을 적용하여 철도부하에 대한 PI 제어기와 슬라이딩모드 제어기의 속도제어를 수행하였다. 속도 제어 시뮬레이션은 Matlab-Simulink를 사용하여 구현되었으며 부하 가변 조건에서 슬라이딩모드 제어기가 PI 제어기에 비해 더 우수한 과도응답 및 정상상태응답을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

Hybrid electric vehicles have attracted much attention of late, emphasizing the necessity of developing traction motors with a high input current and a wide speed range. Among such traction motors, various researches have been conducted on interior permanent-magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) with high power density and mechanical solidity. Due to the complexity of its parameters, however, with nonlinear motor characteristics and current vector control, it is actually difficult to accurately estimate the base speed within an actual operating speed range or a voltage limit. Moreover, it is impossible to construct an efficiency map as the efficiency differs according to the control mode. In this study, a simulation method for operation performance considering the nonlinearity of IPMSM was proposed. For this, datasets of various nonlinear parameters were made via the finite-element method and interpolation. Maximum torque-per-ampere and flux-weakening control were accurately simulated using the datasets, and an IPMSM efficiency map was accurately constructed based on the simulation. Lastly, the validity of the simulation was verified through tests.

This paper presents the current-fed inverter of a TGV-K traction system with thyristor switches using phase control and commutation techniques. The current-fed inverters have two modes of operation which consist of forced commutation and natural commutation. In forced commutation mode, at speed of less than 120km/h, commutation is forced by means of the commutation capacitors and the thyristors. Above 120km/h, the thyristors operate in natural commutation mode. according to the voltages between phases of the motors. In this paper. the power conversion theory of the TGV-K traction system and the control principle of the converter and current-fed inverter are discussed.
