A model predictive control (MPC) method without individual PWM has been recently researched to simplify and improve the control flexibility of a multilevel inverter. However, the input power of each H-bridge cell and the switching frequency of switching devices are unbalanced because of the use of a restricted switching state in the MPC method. This paper proposes a control method for balancing the switching patterns and cell power supplied from each isolated dc source of a cascaded H-bridge inverter. The supplied dc power from isolated dc sources of each H-bridge cells is balanced with the proposed cell balancing method. In addition, the switching frequency of each switching device of the CHB inverter becomes equal. A simulation and experimental results are presented with nine-level and five-level three-phase CHB inverter to validate the proposed balancing method.

Adaptive control of a peak current mode controlled (PCM) boost converter supplied by a PEM fuel cell is described in this paper. The adaptive controller with reference model and signal adaptation is developed in order to compensate the deviation of the response during the change of the operating point. The procedure for determining the adaptive algorithm's weighting coefficients, based on a combination of the pole-zero placement method and an optimization method is proposed. After applying the proposed procedure, the optimal adaptive algorithm's weighting coefficients can be determined in just a few iterations, without the use of a computer, thus greatly facilitating the application of the algorithm in real systems. Simulation and experimental results show that the dynamic behavior of a highly nonlinear control system with a fuel cell and a PCM boost converter, can fairly accurately be described by the dynamic behavior of the reference model, i.e., a linear system with constant parameters.

For the pressurized water reactor two-step calculation, the traditional assembly homogenization and two-group neutron diffusion calculation have been widely used. When it comes to the core pin-by-pin simulation, many models and techniques are different and unsettled. In this paper, the homogenization methods based on the pin discontinuity factors and super homogenization factors are used to get the pin-cell homogenized parameters. The heterogeneous leakage model is applied to modify the infinite flux spectrum of the single assembly with reflective boundary condition and to determine the diffusion coefficients for the SP3 solver which is used in the core simulation. To reduce the environment effect of the single-assembly reflective boundary condition, the online method for the SPH factors updating is applied in this paper, and the functionalization of SPH factors based on the least-squares method will be pre-made alone with the table of the group constants. The fitting function will be used to update the thermal-group SPH factors with a whole-core pin-by-pin homogeneous solution online. The three-dimensional Watts Bar Nuclear Unit 1 (WBN1) problem was utilized to test the performance of pin-by-pin calculation. And numerical results have demonstrated that PWR pin-by-pin core calculation has more accurate results compared with the traditional assembly-homogenization scheme.

In this paper, a observer-based PI controller will be developed for PEM fuel cell system. Nonlinear model of PEM fuel cell system is introduced to study the controller design problems. Sliding mode observer will be designed to estimate the cathode and anode pressures of PEMFC system. And a nonlinear state observer is also designed to estimate the other states such as supply manifold pressure, Oxygen pressure, Hydrogen pressure, return manifold pressure, etc. These estimated states are used to design the observer-based PI controller. The validity of the proposed controller will be verified by using computer simulation.

The paper proposes a simulation model of grid-connected photovoltaic generation system (PV system) using on PSCAD/EMTDC, a reliable power system and apparatus transient analysis program. A equivalent circuit model of a solar cell is used for modeling solar array. A series of parameters required for array modeling are deduced from general specification data of a solar module. A PWM voltage source inverter (VSI) model is presented and current control scheme is implemented for VSI control. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is applied for controlling the PV system. Simulation case study provides V-I and V-P characteristics of solar array and PV system control performance for irradiation changes.

최근 전 세계적으로 이상화탄소 배출규제에 대응하기 위해 신에너지를 동력원으로 하는 자동차에 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그중 이온 교환막 연료전지(PEMFC)는 내연기관을 대신에 자동차 동력원으로 많이 사용되어지고 있으며 양산화를 위한 노력을 전 세계적으로 하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 수소 자동차가 시장과 소비자의 요구 조건을 충족하기 위해서는 내구성을 개선하여야 한다. 현재 선진사들을 중심으로 수소 자동차의 내구성을 개선하기 위해 노력하지만, 대부분 실험적 방법으로 내구성의 분석 및 평가를 수행하고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 방법은 비용과 시간이 많이 들기 때문에 경제적이지 못하다. 본 기고문에서는 내구성에 영향을 받는 인자, 연료전지 시스템 내구성을 예측하고 평가할 수 있는 수소 자동차 내구성 모델 개발에 필요한 수식에 관한 연구, 그리고 내구성 개선을 위한 해석적 방법(simulation)에 관한 연구 동향을 소개하고자 한다.

This paper proposes a grid-tied power conditioning system for the fuel cell power generation, which consists of a 2-stage DC-DC converter and a 3-phase PWM inverter. The 2-stage DC-DC converter boosts the fuel cell stack voltage of 26-48V up to 400V, using a hard-switching boost converter and a high-frequency unregulated LLC resonant converter. The operation of the proposed power conditioning system was verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. Based on the simulation results, a laboratory experimental set-up was built with a 1.2kW PEM fuel-cell stack to verify the feasibility of hardware implementation. The developed power conditioning system shows a high efficiency of 91%, which is a very positive result for the commercialization.

This paper proposes a multiuse detection system in a multi-cell M-ary Frequency Shift Keying(MFSK)/frequency hopping(FH)-Code Division Multiple Access(CDMA) environment, in which the channel model is an OR-channel and in the reverse link. We have proposed a multiuse detection system in a single cell. However, this sitye is not adequate to detect multiuser in a multi-cell environment. Therefore, we propose a multiuser detection system based on 3 level OR decision with two threholds. The proposed detection system can delete interference as well as intra-cell interference, receive the weakened desired signal and reject the false alarm. computer simulation shows the performance improvement.

A novel unit cell for a high pass filter was designed based on a composite right/left-handed structure that uses a folded coplanar waveguide. The equivalent circuit model for the unit cell was extracted from the geometry of the unit cell, and the effect of each main parameter of the unit cell was analyzed. The equations to calculate the immittance values of the equivalent circuit elements were formulated, and moreover, the dispersion characteristics and energy the distributions of the electromagnetic fields were simulated to determine the characteristics of the composite right/left-handed structure. Finally, the high pass filters were implemented as a series of the proposed unit cells. We show that the experimental results were in good agreement with those obtained from the simulation. Thus, the high pass filter was found to achieve a baseband insertion loss of 3 dB and a stopband attenuation of 70 dB.

중성입자입사 장치의 효율적인 빔형성 구조를 목적으로 정전기장 내에서 하전 입자의 움직임을 시간의 흐름에 따라 계산해 볼 수 있는 프로그램을 만들어 입자 모사 모형을 찾았다. 가속관 내의 입자의 움직임은 일정 시간 간격으로 계산하였고 전위는 유한차분법에 의해 Poisson 방정식에서 구하였다. 행렬식은 반복해법인 successive overrelaxation법을 사용하였고 전하밀도와 임자에 미치는 전기장의 힘을 구할 때는 cloud-in-cell모델을 사용하였다. 이 전자계산 코드를 사용하여 가속관 내 전극의 여러 조건들을 변화시켜가면서 빔형성 구조의 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 중성자 입사 장치의 가속관에서 가속 감속-전극간의 간격변화, 감속전극의 두께 변화, 가속 전극의 형태변화 등을 통하여 이들이 빔의 모양에 끼치는 영향을 조사하여 몇 가지 경우에 있어서 일정한 시간 간격으로 나타나는 입자들의 움직임을 예시하였다. 이 입자 모사모형을 통하여 가속전극의 형태가 빔 퍼짐에 가장 주요한 역할을 하는 것을 알았다.
