Conventional variable-speed Induction motor drives with inverters are subject to detrimental effect of zero-sequence voltages, such a shaft voltage and bearing current. This paper presents a way of the suppression of the zero-sequence components in multilevel H-bridge inverters. First examined Is the inherent zero-sequence characteristic of the conventional subharmonic PW method. Then it is shown that the zero-sequence voltage can be eliminated with proper -selection of switching states with space vector modulation. Although this method alone restricts the linear modulation range of control, a combination of the proposed method and the minimum switching method appears to be effective in suppressing the zero-sequence voltage to minimum level while maintaining the linear control range.

This paper presents nonlinear vibration characteristics of a vertical passive zero stiffness isolator. The passive isolator can achieve zero stiffness through buckling of notched flexure caused by a compressive force. First, a simulation model of the isolator was built based on elastic beam theory. As increasing the compression force, time and frequency responses of the isolator were simulated. In addition, further nonlinear vibration characteristics were investigated through a bifurcation diagram and a Poincare's map, which shows that even chaostic vibration could happen. The simulations show that as the compressive force increases, the stiffness goes close to zero and the nonlinear characteristic becomes stronger to have a great effect on the isolation performance.

This paper presents a new algorithm that can refine hexahedral elements while maintaining the appropriate connectivity. In the algorithm, at first the regions of mesh to be refined are defined and, then, the zero-thickness element layers inserted into the interfaces between the regions. All the meshes in the regions, in which the zero-thickness layers are inserted, are to be regularized in order to improve the shape of the slender elements on the interfaces. This algorithm is applied to the analysis of plastic deformation process. The results show that the refined mesh gives smaller relative errors than the original mesh.

A plane wave expansion method(PWEM) was applied for photonic band structure calculation. We examined zero group velocity modes in photonic crystals. The zero group velocity was obtained in second band along G-K direction. We expanded Brillouin zone, and investigated on zero group velocity.

A algorithm for control and performance of a pulse-density-modulated (PDM) series-resonant voltage source inverter developed for corona-dischange precesses is presented. The PDM inverter produces either a square-wave ac-voltage state or a zero-voltage state at its ac terminals to control the average output voltage under constant dc voltage and operating frequency. Moreover it can achieve zero-current-switching (ZCS) and zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) in all the operating condition for a reduction of switching lost. Even though the corona discharge load with a strong nonlinear characteristics, new high frequency resonant inverter is shown the wide range power control from 5% to 100%.

This paper proposes a new secondary battery charger/discharger available for zero voltage discharge which is used for test equipments and formation process. The proposed system is a switching type converter, and thus the system is high efficiency and more compact as compared with linear type charger/discharger. Conventional switching type charger/discharger can not discharge secondary batteries to zero voltage because of voltage drops in the switching elements and long distributing line(typically 10m). However, the proposed system is able to discharge the battery to zero voltage in constant current mode regardless of the voltage drops. In this paper, we analyze the proposed charger/discharger and the validity of the system is verified by simulation and experiment.

Decreasing actual greenhouse gas will be difficult if it is not solved addressed in architectural fields. Zero emission building or zero energy building, maximize the efficiency of energy, which means the building can operate by their own renewable energy facility without any other supplying. To be a zero emission building, a building needs realization of high efficiency low energy consumption, construction of building its own energy production facilities and lastly a power grid connection. According to increasing of DC load about TV, LED lighting, computer, IT in building for living and business, it is expected the save of energy when the system of AC power distribution change into the system of DC power distribution. Renewable energy exists a big different rate produced by outside environment. When electrical power overproduce, it can supply for system. Otherwise, if electrical power produce less, it can receive supply from system. Send and receive power can lead to zero to annual standard. This paper shows the simulation about efficient control of power conversion which is related to DC power distribution of architecture and DC output of renewable energy by using L-type converter.

본 논문은 Zero energy building(ZEB) 또는 net zero energy building의 정의와 개념에 대해서 서술 하였다, 그리고 ZEB의 장단점을 알아보고 연구 방향에 대해서 논하였다. ZEB는 주거와 상업적 빌딩에 신재생에너지를 이용하고 에너지 소비 효울을 높여 큰 에너지 절감을 통해 경제적 이익을 얻을 수 있고 저탄소 배출로 환경을 보존 할 수 있는 녹색성장의 한 방법이다. "Zero energy"라는 단어는 요즘 많이 사용 되는데 비해 정확한 정의와 개념에 대해서는 이해가 부족하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 ZEB에 대해 정확한 정의와 세계적 흐름, ZEB의 장단점 그리고 앞으로 연구해야 할 방향에 대해 논의 하겠다.

This Paper Proposes a circuit system that is capable of rejecting the zero phase voltage produced by a inverter, which transform do-ac power using high speed power semiconductor. It generates a rejecting voltage which has the same amplitude as, but the opposite phase to the zero phase voltage. The rejecting voltage is superimposed on the load line for rejecting of the zero phase voltage through a transformer. Simulation results show that the zero phase voltage applied to the load and ground current are eliminated.

This paper proposes a frequency detection method based on an advanced zero-crossing technique. Zero-crossing method for detecting frequency is one of the most widely used methods today. Although it is simple to apply, it requires extra hardware in implementation due to its limitations in accuracy. The proposed method models the error generated during zero crossing linearization and compensated for it in real time which makes it simple and accurate. The validity of the method and its applicability in anti-islanding detection of distributed generators was confirmed through simulation.
