PMSM(permanent magnet synchronous motor) are widely used in industrial and home appliance because of their high torque to inertia ratio, superior power density, and high efficiency For the high control performance, accurate information of rotor position Is essential. In recent, sensorless algorithms are much studied due to high cost problem of position sensor and low reliability in harsh environment. In the proposed method, a differential linkage flux is used for the estimation of rotor position. The differential magnetic field flux is calculated by the voltage equations and measured phase current without any integration and differential calculus. Instead of linkage flux calculation with differential operation, a new mathematical differential method is introduced by a-$\beta$ transformation. The proposed novel position sensorless speed control scheme is verified through experimental results.

The three-phase four-leg voltage-source inverter topology is an interesting option for the three-phase four-wire system. With an additional leg, this topology can achieve superior performance under unbalanced and nonlinear load conditions. However, because of the low bandwidth of conventional controllers in high-power inverter applications, the system cannot guarantee a balanced output voltage under the unbalanced load condition. Most of the methods proposed to solve this problem mainly use the multiple synchronous frame method, which requires several controllers and a large amount of computation because of frame transformation. This study proposes a simple hybrid controller that combines proportional-integral (PI) and resonant controllers in the synchronous frame synchronized with the positive-sequence component of the output voltage of the three-phase four-leg inverter. The design procedure for the controller and the theoretical analysis are presented. The performance of the proposed method is verified by the experimental results and compared with that of the conventional PI controller.

This paper studies the performances of five typical Phase-locked Loops (PLLs) for distorted and unbalanced grid, which are the Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame PLL (DDSRF-PLL), Double Second-Order Generalized Integrator PLL (DSOGI-PLL), Double Second-Order Generalized Integrator Frequency-Lock Loop (DSOGI-FLL), Double Inverse Park Transformation PLL (DIPT-PLL) and Complex Coefficient Filter based PLL (CCF-PLL). Firstly, the principles of each method are meticulously analyzed and their unified small-signal models are proposed to reveal their interior relations and design control parameters. Then the performances are compared by simulations and experiments to investigate their dynamic and steady-state performances under the conditions of a grid voltage with a negative sequence component, a voltage drop and a frequency step. Finally, the merits and drawbacks of each PLL are given. The compared results provide a guide for the application of current control, low voltage ride through (LVRT), and unintentional islanding detection.

The noise generated from a treadband mechanism of a tire has been the subject of this research. In particular, the treadband has been treated as an infinite tensioned beam resting on an elastic foundation which includes damping. The main objective is to predict the sound power generated from a system mentioned above by locating harmonic point forces representing the excitation of treadband at the contact patch. It is possible to predict the sound power radiated from this structure by using wavenumber transformation techniques. In order to find out the minimum radiated sound power, All parameters were varied. Thus, this model can be used as a tire design guide for selecting parameters which produces the minimum noise radiation.

Using a developed mathematical model and calibrated kinetic constants, numerical experiments for a aerobic digestion of wastewater sludge by SBR aerobic digestion process combined with ultrasonication (USSBR) were performed in this study. It simulated well the phenomena of the decomposition of particulate organics and the release of organic nitrogen and transformation. To achieve 40 % of particulate organics removal, USSBR process requires only 6 days of SRT and 14 W/L of ultrasonic power whereas SBR aerobic digestion process requires 12 days of SRT. Based on the model simulation results, an empirical equation was presented here. This equation will be used to predict digestion efficiency for the given variables of SRT and ultrasonic power dose. USSBR aerobic digestion process can reduce the nitrogen concentration. The optimal operation strategy for the simultaneous removal of solids and soluble nitrogen in this process is estimated to 7 days of SRT with 14 W/L of ultrasonic power dose while anoxic period was 6 hours out of 24 hours of cycle time. In this condition, 40 % of particulate organics as well as 36 % of total nitrogen will be removed and the soluble nitrogen concentration of the centrate will be lower less then 40 mg/L.

A theoretical model has been studied to describe the sound radiation analysis for structural vibration noise control of tire under the action of random moving line forces. When a tire is analyzed, it has been modeled as a curved beam with distributed springs and dash-pots which represent the radial, tangential stiffness and damping of tire, respectively. The reaction due to fluid loading on the vibratory response of the curved beam is taken into account. The curved beam is assumed to occupy the plane y = 0 and to be axially infinite. The material of curved beam and elastic foundation are assumed to be lossless, and governed by the law of Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. The expression for sound power is integrated numerically and its results examined as a function of Mach number(M), wavenumber ratio(.gamma.) and stiffness factor(.PSI.). The experimental investigation for structural vibration noise of tire under the action of random moving line forces has been made. Based on the STSF(Spatial Transformation of Sound Field) techniques, the sound power and sound radiation are measured. The experimental results show that operating condition, material properties and design factors of the tire have a great effect on the sound power and sound radiation characteristics.

This paper presents the Hessenberg method, a new sparsity-based small signal stability analysis program for large interconnected power systems. The Hessenberg method as well as the Arnoldi method computes the partial eigen-solution of large systems. However, the Hessenberg method with pivoting is numerically very stable comparable to the Householder method and thus re-orthogonalization of the krylov vectors is not required. The fractional transformation with a complex shift is used to compute the modes around the shift point. If only the dominant electromechanical oscillation modes are of concern, the modes can be computed fast with the shift point determined by Fourier transforming the time simulation results for transient stability analysis, if available. The program has been successfully tested on the New England 10-machine 39-bus system and Korea Electric Power Co. (KEPCO) system in the year of 2000, which is comprised of 791-bus, 1575-branch, and 215-machines. The method is so efficient that CPU time for computing five eigenvalues of the KEPCO system is 3.4 sec by a PC with 400 MHz Pentium IIprocessor.

This paper proposes a DTMB deinterleaver structure to reduce the SDRAM power consumption with buffer conversion and the single pointer-register structure. The DTMB deinterleaver with deep interleaving for higher performance consists of long delay buffers allocated on SDRAM. The conventional structure activates a new SDRAM row almost everytime when it reads and writes a datum. In the proposed structure, long buffers are transformed into several short buffers so that the number of row activations is reduced. The single pointer-register structure solves the problem of many pointer-registers. The experimental results show that the SDRAM power consumption can be reduced to around 37% with slight logic area reduction.

In this paper, the system equation for the balanced two-phase induction motor is derived and the characteristics for speed control is also analyzed in the region of constant torque and constant power. The modified vector control theory is applied to two-phase motor drive system. The speed of two-phase motor drive can be controlled precisely by the modified indirect vector control theory. The modified vector control theory is simpler comparing to the conventional vector control because of the simpler axis transformation. The computer simulations and the experimental results presented to confirm the vector control for two-phase inverter fed two phase induction motor system.

Heavy tailed distributions are useful for modeling actuarial and financial risk management problems. Actuaries often search for finding distributions that provide the best fit to heavy tailed data sets. In the present work, we introduce a new class of heavy tailed distributions of a special sub-model of the proposed family, called a new extended alpha power transformed Weibull distribution, useful for modeling heavy tailed data sets. Mathematical properties along with certain characterizations of the proposed distribution are presented. Maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters are obtained. A simulation study is provided to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators. Actuarial measures such as Value at Risk and Tail Value at Risk are also calculated. Further, a simulation study based on the actuarial measures is done. Finally, an application of the proposed model to a heavy tailed data set is presented. The proposed distribution is compared with some well-known (i) two-parameter models, (ii) three-parameter models and (iii) four-parameter models.
