This paper presents a sensorless speed control of BLDC Motor using terminal voltage of the one phase. Rotor position information is extracted by indirectly sensing the back EMF from only one of the three terminal voltages for a three-phase BLDC motor. Depending on the terminal voltage sensing rotor position, active filter is used for position information. This leads to a significant reduction in the component device of the sensorless circuit. Therefore this is a advantage for the cost saving and size reduction. With indirect sensing methods based on detection of the terminal voltage that require active filtering, the position information needs the six divider section by PLL circuit, the binary counter and johnson counter by the EPLD. Finally, this algorithm can estimate the rotor position information similar to Hall-sensor sticked the three-phase BLDC motor. As a result, the method described that it is not sensitive to filtering delays, allowing the motor to achieve a good performance over a wide speed range. In addition, a simple starting method and a speed estimation approach are also proposed. Experimental and simulation results are included to verify the proposed scheme.

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.

Reduction of breakdown voltage is serious short channel effect (SCE) by shrink of channel length. The deviation of breakdown voltage for doping concentration is investigated with structural parameters of sub-10 nm double gate (DG) MOSFET in this paper. To analyze this, thermionic and tunneling current are derived from analytical potential distribution, and breakdown voltage is defined as drain voltage when the sum of two currents is $10{\mu}A$. As a result, breakdown voltage increases with increase of doping concentration. Breakdown voltage decreases by reduction of channel length. In order to solve this problem, it is found that silicon and oxide thicknesses should be kept very small. In particular, as contributions of tunneling current increases, breakdown voltage increases.

This study conducted RIII reflex measurement to examine degree of pain depending on polarity of high voltage pulsed current of primary and secondary hyperalgesia site in hyperalgesia rat by local thermal injury. Hind paw which was injury site was taken as primary hyperalgeisa site, sole which was injury adjacent site was taken as secondary hyperalgesia site, and mechanical pain threshold, thermal pain threshold and root mean square of RIII reflex were measured. This study was conducted with control group I of hyperalgesia rat at hind paw by thermal injury and experimental groups divided into cathodal high voltage treatment group II, anodal high voltage treatment group III and alternate high voltage treatment group IV, applied active electrode of high voltage pulsed current to hind paw directly, placed reference electrode on the sole of injury adjacent site and applied pulse frequency. It measured RIII reflex and obtained the following results: Root mean square of RIII reflex at primary hyperalgeisa site was significantly reduced in group II after 2 days of hyperalgesia. Group II showed significant decrease after 5 and 6 days of hyperalgesia. Root mean square of RIII reflex at secondary hyperalgesia site showed significant reduction in group II after 6 days of hyperalgesia. Consequently it was found that application of high voltage pulsed current of hyperalgesia site reduced RIII reflex at primary hyperalgeisa site and secondary hyperalgesia site by electrical stimuli. Effects by polarity of high voltage pulsed current showed the greatest reduction of pain threshold when cathodal active electrode was used.

This paper proposes a neutral-point voltage ripple reduction of high frequency injection sensorless control of IPMSM fed by a three-level inverter. The high frequency voltage injection method has been successfully applied to sensorless control for IPMSM at low speed region. In the process of high frequency voltage injection sensorless control for IPMSM, the neutral-point voltage ripple is increased. It should be reduced because it distorts the output current and decreases a life time of DC-link capacitor. The proposed method in this paper reduces the neutral-point voltage ripple by compensating the reference voltage, and the compensation value is calculated simply with reference voltages and currents. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation results.

In this paper, we propose a method for suppressing shaft voltage by modifying the rotor shape and the permanent magnets in interior permanent magnet type high voltage motors. The shaft voltage, which adversely affects the bearing by occurring bearing current, is induced by parasitic components and the leakage flux in motor-driven systems as well as inherent linkage flux between main magnetic flux and shaft according to rotor configuration. Thus, shaft voltage should be analyzed and considered under inverter-driven and non-inverter-driven conditions because inherent linkage flux can analyze under non-inverter-driven condition. In this study, we designed re-arrangement magnet and re-structuring rotor to minimize the shaft voltage. In addition, we optimized the proposed models. The shaft voltage suppression effect of the designed model was validated experimentally and by comparative finite element analysis.

For the paralleled operation of DC/DC converters, the current sharing between each modules is the most important for the reliability of the power system. Interleaving method is commonly used with many paralleling schemes for the reduction of the ripple in the output voltage of paralleled converters and there are many commercial IC for interleaving application appliable. But for all of them, it is impossible to detect the number of module in operating and then change the phase of them automatically. In this paper, a novel paralleling method is proposed for the converter parallel operation, which detects the number of modules in active and sets the phases of PWM signals applied to each modules autonomously. This can greatly improve the output voltage ripple and reliability of the system. The expandibility of modular number can be done very easily by just adding several parts.

Conventional SVPWM method has null switching vectors. Null switching vectors cause high common-mode voltage in induction motor drive system. The newly developed common mode voltage reduction PWM technique don't use zero switching state for inverter control. It is realized by changing software without additional hardware. Simulation and experimental results show that proposed method are reduced common mode voltage more than conventional method.

High frequency common mode voltage produced by power inverters are a major cause of conducted EMI, creating motor ground currents, bearing currents and other harmful by products. This paper focuses on a new SVPWM method with random PWM injection to reduce conducted EMI noise. A New PWM technique associated with the common mode voltage can be significantly reducing and contributes to mitigate. The common mode voltage to $50\%$ in comparison with that for conventional SVPWM technique. Validation of the theory and reduction methods are then performed experiment ally based on an induction motor drive.

5 MeV proton-irradiation with total dose of $10^{15}/cm^2$ was performed on AlGaN/GaN-on-Si high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with various gate metals including Ni, TaN, W, and TiN to investigate the degradation characteristics. The positive shift of pinch-off voltage and the reduction of on-current were observed from irradiated HEMTs regardless of a type of gate materials. Hall and transmission line measurements revealed the reduction of carrier mobility and sheet charge concentration due to displacement damage by proton irradiation. The shift of pinch-off voltage was dependent on Schottky barrier heights of gate metals. Gate leakage and capacitance-voltage characteristics did not show any significant degradation demonstrating the superior radiation hardness of Schottky gate contacts on GaN.
