This study proposes a neural network for solving optimization problems such as the TSP (Travelling Salesman Problem), scheduling, and line balancing. The Hopfield network has been used for solving such problems, but it frequently gives abnormal solutions or non-optimal ones. Moreover, the Hopfield network takes much time especially in solving large size problems. To overcome such disadvantages, this study adopts nodes whose outputs changes with a fixed value at every evolution. The proposed network is applied to solving a TSP, finding the shortest path for visiting all the cities, each of which is visted only once. Here, the travelling path is reflected to the energy function of the network. The proposed network evolves to globally minimize the energy function, and a ...

Since world-wide oil shock on 1970s, many large size-low speed diesel engines, instead of steam turbines, are used for the industrial electric power generating plants due to their economic advantage of low specific fuel consumption. But it is very important to control their electric power fluctuation problems for the purpose of smooth parallel operation with existing power plants. In this paper the fluctuation problem of KEPCO Nam-cheju No.1 generator driven by diesel ngine(B & W 7K 60MC, 13931x138.5RPM) is investigated with analysis of torsional vibration of which 4th harmonic component is related to its power fluctuation. The problem can be improved by modification of cylinder arrangement and flywheel position in reverse sequence, equalizing the combustion gas pressure of all cylinder and installation of torsional vibration damper enlarged 30%(Je=7287Kg.m$^{2}$) and high quality balancing of generator rotor.

This paper presents an extended Twyman-Green interferometry that enables simultaneous and real-time measurement of 5-DOF motion errors of the translational moving stage. This method uses a null balancing technique in which two plane mirrors are used as target mirrors to generate an interferometric fringe utilizing the optical principles of Twyman-Green interferometry. Fringe is detected by 2D photodiode array for high-speed measurement. Errors are then independently suppressed by activation of piezoelectric actuators through real-time feedback control while the machine axis is moving. Experimental results demonstrate that a machine axis can be controlled with motion errors about 10 nm in linear displacement, 0.15 arcsec in angular displacement

In this research a Self-Standable mobile Robot with standing arms based on an Wheeled Inverted Pendulum is developed. Almost existing mobile robots have wide planar shape that is statistically stable and it is sometimes hard for them to run or steer on a narrow road. A Wheeled Inverted Pendulum based mobile robot has vertical shape that is upright-running and easily steering on a narrow road. It, however, requires actively balancing control and never restores the shape once it falls down. This research develops a Self-Standable mobile robot which equips standing arms and is able to change its chassis' posture freely from planar to vertical shape or vice versa.

The main idea behind the Intelligent Networks (IN) concept is the separation of switching function from the service control, in order to meet various service requirements of subscribers and development of new services in time. The (N+l) architecture of the IN service system consists of front-end processors (FEP) and back-end processors (BEP), which is in service in a domestic telecommunication company, and balances the traffic load for services among the processors. Under this architecture, the IN service system can distribute the traffic load dynamically, and M services are easily launched and manipulated minimizing impacts on the existing services. This paper traces the performance of the (N＋1) structured system by means of the simulation approach, and shed a light on the result.

본 논문에서는 기존 직렬결합 커패시터 입력단을 갖는 7-레벨 인버터에 커패시터 전압균형 제어법을 적용하여 출력 전압의 중간레벨 구간이 제대로 형성되지 않는 문제점을 해결하고자 한다. 기존에 제시된 직렬결합 커패시터 입력단 구성을 갖는 7-레벨 인버터는 2개의 양방향 스위치모듈과 3개의 직렬 연결된 커패시터를 이용한 변형된 Cascaded H-bridge 인버터이다. 기존 논문에서는 입력 전압원으로부터 3개의 직렬 연결된 커패시터의 충전을 통해 레벨을 형성하는 과정에서 커패시터 전압불균형 문제를 해결하지 못하여 결국 출력전압레벨이 7-레벨에서 5-레벨로 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 세 개의 직렬결합된 커패시터중 중앙에 위치한 커패시터의 충 방전량을 조절하여 커패시터 전압불균형 문제를 해결한다. 제어법의 타당성은 PSIM 기반의 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 기존 스위칭 제어법과 비교하여 검증한다.

We are interested in this paper on the control of an electromechanical system consisting of a doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG), driven by a prime mover that can supply or extract mechanical power, e.g., a flywheel inertia, and an induction motor(IM). The stator of the Induction machine is connected to the stator of the generator whose rotor voltage is regulated by a bidirectional converter. The main interest of this configuration is that it permits a bidirectional power flow between the motor, which may operate in regenerative mode, and the generator We propose a passivity-based controller to regulate the motor mechanical speed. Since this kind of controllers achieve stabilization via energy balancing, regulation of the power flow in the system is naturally incorporated. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the main points of our paper.

A single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) features low input current ripple and output voltage up/down capability. However, the switching devices in a two-level SEPIC suffer from high voltage stresses and switching losses. To cope with this drawback, this study proposes a three-level SEPIC that uses a low voltage-rated switch and thus achieves better switching performance compared with the two-level SEPIC. The three-level SEPIC can reduce switch voltage stresses and switching losses. The converter operation and control method are described in this work. The experimental results for a 500 W prototype converter are also discussed. Experimental results show that unlike the two-level SEPIC, the three-level SEPIC achieves improved power efficiency with balanced capacitor voltages.

This paper is concerned with walking trajectory generation by applying the genetic algorithm. The walking trajectory is generated though three via-points and genetic algorithm is employed to find velocity and acceleration at each via-point. Also genetic algorithm is applied for balancing joint trajectory. Fitness function is used for minimizing the trajectory. As a result, new algorithm generated the smooth trajectory. The proposed algorithm is verified by the experiment of biped walking robot developed in our Control laboratory, and we compared the result with the previous walking algorithm. It showed that the new proposed algorithm generated the better walking trajectory.
