This paper proposes a high speed SRM drive system for blower application with a new 4-level inverter and precise excitation position generator. For a high speed blower, a proper inverter and control method are proposed and the output characteristics are analyzed. In order to get a fast build-up and demagnetization of excitation current, a 4-level inverter system is proposed. The proposed 4-level inverter has additional charge capacitor, power switch and diode in the conventional asymmetric converter. The charged high voltage is supplied to the phase winding for fast current build-up, and demagnetization current is charged to additional capacitor of the 4-level inverter. In addition, a precise excitation position generator can reduce turn-on and turn-off angle error according to sampling period of digital control system. The proposed high speed SRM drive system is verified by computer simulation and experimental results.

For the high speed blower, a proper 12/8 SRM is designed and analyzed. In order to get a fast build-up and demagnetization of excitation a current, now 4-level inverter system is proposed. The proposed 4-level inverter has additional charge capacitor, power switch and diode in the conventional asymmetric converter. The charged high voltage is supplied to the phase winding for fast current build-up, and demagnetization current is charged to additional capacitor of 4-level inverter. In addition, a precise excitation position generator can reduce turn-on and turn-off angle error according to sampling period of digital control system. The proposed high speed SRM drive system is verified by computer simulation.

The torque of SRM depends on a phase current and the inductance of the motor. But the inductance is saturated nonlinearly according to the position and current. To drive the motor effectively, the control scheme should take into account the nonlinear characteristics of the magnetic material. This paper proposes an optimal control scheme for high efficiency drive of SRM by adjusting both the turn-on and turn-off angle. The high efficiency drive points are simulated and searched by using GA-Neural Network The switching angles are nonlinearly varied with rotor speed and load.

Switched reluctance generators(SRGs) attract much attention in the generator because of high efficiency, simplicity, and ruggedness. They require rotor position information In determine the turn-on and turn-off angle, but the rotor position sensor is less tolerant of extreme environmental conditions, such as high temperature or dust, so the position sensor is limited and undesirable. This paper describes a new approach to estimate the rotor position from the measured terminal voltages and currents of the SRG. The proposed method is based on the instantaneous inductance of the SRG. The proposed method is verified by computer simulations and experiments.

The low cost, ruggedness, and reliability of switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive makes them potentially suitable for many industrial applications. But the generation of a high-level torque ripple and the acoustic noise restricts the practical application range. This paper analyzes the torque characteristic of SRM according to rotor pole arc and the effect of turn-on and turn-off angles to reduce the torque ripple. The simulation result shows the different torque characteristic of each cases.

In order to elucidate the effects of positive pressure gradient on flame properties, structure and stabilization, an experimental study is made on turbulent diffusion flame stabilized by a circular cylinder in a divergent duct flow. A commercial grade gaseous propane is injected from two slits on the rod as fuel. In this paper, stabilization, characteristics and flame structure are examined by varying the divergent angle of duct. Temperature, ion current and Schlieren photographs were measured. It is found that critical divergent angle is expected to be about 8 ~ 12 degree through blow-off velocity pattern to divergent angle and the positive pressure gradient influences the flame temperature, intensity of ion current and eddy structure behind the rod. With the increase of divergent angle, typical temperature of recirculation zone is low but intensity of ion current is high in shear layer behind rod. Energy distributions of fluctuating temperature and ion current signals turn up low frequency corresponding to large scale eddies but high frequency corresponding to small scale eddies as well as low with the increase of divergent angle. Therefore the flame structure becomes a typical distributed-reacting flame.

이 논문은 4상 6극 SRM의 최대토크/효율 및 최소토크맥동 운전을 위한 적정 전압과 스위칭각에 관한 연구이다. SRM은 비선형적인 특성이강하여 해석적인 방법으로 특성을 고찰하거나 속도/토크 제어가 어려운 단점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 최대토크/효율 및 최소토크맥동의 운전이 가능한 최적의 스위칭각과 전압을 SIMULINKK를 이용하여 구하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 최대토크운전에서는 속도는 스위칭각에 의존되고, 토크는 전압에 의존됨을 알 수 있었다. 뿐 만 아니라 최대효율, 최소토크리플운전에서는 전압보디는 속도와 스위칭각에 의해서 최대효율과 최소토크 리플이 발생되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션에 의해서 구해진 최적각들을 ROM 데이터형식으로 참조 테이블을 만들어 마이크로 프로세서를 이용하여 구동하여 최대토크/효율, 최소토크리플 운전의 타당성을 보였다.

Multi-pulse topology of converters using elementary six-pulse GTO - VSC (gate turn off based voltage source converter) operated under fundamental frequency switching (FFS) control is widely adopted in high power rating static synchronous compensators (STATCOM). Practically, a 48-pulse ($6{\times}8$ pulse) configuration is used with the phase angle control algorithm employing proportional and integral (PI) control methodology. These kinds of controllers, for example the ${\pm}80MVAR$ compensator at Inuyama switching station, KEPCO, Japan, employs two stages of magnetics viz. intermediate transformers (as many as VSCs) and a main coupling transformer to minimize harmonics distortion in the line and to achieve a desired operational efficiency. The magnetic circuit needs altogether nine transformers of which eight are phase shifting transformers (PST) used in the intermediate stage, each rating equal to or more than one eighth of the compensator rating, and the other one is the main coupling transformer having a power rating equal to that of the compensator. In this paper, a two-level 48-pulse ${\pm}100MVAR$ STATCOM is proposed where eight, six-pulse GTO-VSC are employed and magnetics is simplified to single-stage using four transformers of which three are PSTs and the other is a normal transformer. Thus, it reduces the magnetics to half of the value needed in the commercially available compensator. By adopting the simple PI-controllers, the model is simulated in a MATLAB environment by SimPowerSystems toolbox for voltage regulation in the transmission system. The simulation results show that the THD levels in line voltage and current are well below the limiting values specified in the IEEE Std 519-1992 for harmonic control in electrical power systems. The controller performance is observed reasonably well during capacitive and inductive modes of operation.

본 논문은 3상 6/8극 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기의 설계 및 특성해석에 대해 다루었다. 고정자와 회전자 극호각의 설계 범위를 해석하고 최적값을 해석하였다. 최적의 값은 선형, 비선형으로 나누어 전통적인 설계접근 방식과 설계용 CAD를 이용하여 해석하였으며 실제 전동기를 제작하여 설계결과를 확인하였다. 이 전동기는 동일한 8/6 SRM에 비해 구동회로가 단순해지며, 권선의 전류밀도와 동손이 감소하여 효율이 상승하는 장점이 있다.
