This study proposes an enhanced quadruple-Active-Bridge (QAB) converter that can solve power coupling problems. By adopting a multiple winding transformer, the equivalent circuit of a conventional QAB converter has power couplings between arbitrary output ports. This coupling is an unintended power relationship that complicates the regulation of output voltage of the multiple ports. The proposed converter can carry out power decoupling by changing the arrangement of the coupling inductor. Power transfer equations for the proposed converter and its operating principles are analyzed in detail. The power coupling caused by the transformer's leakage inductance is verified by using a proposed coupling factor that presents the relationship between inductance ratio and coupling power. In addition, the decoupling power control performance of the proposed converter is verified by simulation and a 3 kW prototype converter.

This work proposes a simple control method of a buck-type active power decoupling circuit that can minimize the ripple values in the dc link voltage. The proposed method utilizes a simplified duty calculation method and an optimal compensation gain tracking algorithm with variable-step approach. Thus, the dc link voltage ripple can be effectively reduced through the proposed method along with rapid response in tracking the optimum compensation gain. Moreover, the proposed method has better dynamic responses in the load fluctuation or abnormal situation. MATLAB/Simulink simulation and hardware-in-the-loop-simulation(HILS)-based experimental results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

In hybrid renewable power systems, the use of a multiple-input dc/dc converter (MIC) leads to simpler circuit and lower cost, when compared to the conventional use of several single-input converters. This paper proposed a novel three-input buck/boost/buck-boost converter, which can be used in applications with various values of input voltage. The energy sources in this converter can deliver power to the load either simultaneously or individually in one switching period. The steady relationship, the power management strategy and the small-signal circuit model of this converter have been derived. With decoupling technology, modeling and regulator design can be obtained under multi-loop control modes. Finally, three generating methods of a multiple-input buck/boost/buck-boost converter is given, and this method can be extended to the other multiple-input dc/dc converters.

This study proposes a control method using a repetitive controller for a boost-type PFC rectifier with an APD circuit structure to improve the current distortion caused by DCM condition. Conventional proportional integral controllers have bandwidth limitations in DCM conditions. The performance improvement of the APD controller in the DCM region is verified through simulations and experiments on the compensation of harmonics by the repetitive controller.

A grid voltage estimation method for modular plug-in active power decoupling (APD) circuits is proposed in this study as direct replacements of electrolytic capacitors. Since modular plug-in APD circuits cannot have additional grid voltage sensors and should be operated independently without information exchange with the front-end converter, it is impossible to obtain the phase information of the grid directly. Therefore, the proposed method uses the second-order harmonic component of the DC-link voltage to estimate the grid voltage necessary to control the APD circuit. By employing the proposed method, the concept of modular plug-in APD circuits can be realized and implemented without direct detection of the grid voltage. The experimental results based on hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) validate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

For a multi-input, multi-output system, it is widely known that feedback control gain presents extra freedom pole placement problem. An eigenstructure assignment utilizes this freedom for assignment of all or some elements of the closed-loop eigenvectors. In this paper, a nonlinear optimization technique is adopted to obtain a small gain controller that assigns closed-loop eigenvalues and elements of eigenvectors simultaneously. To illustrate the approach, a numerical example of the Airplane mode decoupling using an advanced fighter is shown.

건설산업은 타산업에 비해 불확실성이 크게 존재하고, 작업간에 상호 의존성이 강한 산업으로, 불확실성에 의해 발생되는 변이는 건설산업의 생산성 감소를 가져온다. 불확실성에 의한 변이의 대처방안으로 변이관리 및 연구의 필요성이 절실히 요구되고 있으나, 아직까지 국내에선 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 건설산업에서 변이의 원인 빛 유형을 분석하고 그에 대한 대안으로 변이관리 기구 및 기법을 정립에 있다. 변이관리를 위한 방법으로, 우선 국내 건설현장에서의 변이관리 실태를 조사하였으며, 이를 토대로 변이관리 모델을 제안하였다. 변이관리 모델은 변이관리 기구를 통한 첫 번째 접근과 변이관리 기법을 통한 두 번째 접근 방식으로 제안하였고, 변이발생 시기에 따른 접근으로 변이의 발생 전과 발생 시, 발생 후로 변이관리의 상태를 분류하였다. 또한 변이관리에 적용되는 변이관리 기법으로 쉴딩(shielding)과 디커플링(decoupling) 두 가지를 사용하였다. 변이관리 기구 빛 기법의 적용은 국내 건설산업에서 생산성과 신뢰도(reliability)향상을 증대시키는 중요한 요소이며, 변이관리 모델을 이용한 변이관리는 국내 건설산업의 새로운 방향을 제안한다.

In this paper, we suggest the high efficient control method based on general PI control law to control the refrigeration system of the ship effectively. In the variable speed refrigeration system, the capacity and the superheat are controlled by inverters and electronic expansion valves respectively for saving energy and improving cost performance. Thus, we propose decoupling model to eliminate the interfering at first. Next, we design PI controller to control capacity and superheat independently. Finally the control performance was investigated through some experiments. The experiments results show that the PI control design can obtain good control performance deal with the varied control reference and thermal load.

본 논문에서는 다변수 제어시스템 설계시 효과적인 제어를 어렵게 만드는 요인 중의 하나인 입력과 출력의 결합문제를 해결하기 위해서 각 채널의 출력변수는 대응되는 입력 신호에 의해서만 독립적으로 조정되도록 하는 비결합 제어기를 설계하였다. 설계된 제어기는 비결합 조건뿐만 아니라 제어계의 강인성을 동시에 고려할 수 있는 특성을 2자유도 구조에 적용하였다. 또한 제어기를 구하는 경우 계산을 용이하게 하기 위해서 플랜트를 표준모델로 확장시킨 후 전달행렬을 이용하여 상태공간계수로 표현하였다. 이 경우 비결합제어기의 자유매개변수를 구하는데 있어서 지능형탐색방법의 일종인 유전알고리즘을 적용하였다. 일반적으로 유전알고리즘을 특정한 문제에 적용할 경우 그 문제가 가지고 있는 최적화 특징을 잘 파악하여 이것을 이용하는 것이 유전알고리즘 적용시 성공여부를 결정하는 중요한 요인이 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 유전알고리즘을 이용하여 고정 차수의 정방 비결합제어기의 $H_{\infty}$설계시 효율적인 방법을 제시하였다.

We proposed the speed control of the SLIM(Single-sided Linear Induction Motor) for conveyance system by the decoupled thrust control. The voltage equations of SLIM are expressed on the suitable $\alpha-\beta$ axis by the proposed equivalent circuit, which can analyze the characteristics of the thrust and the normal force and so on. These control methods, which are the slip angular frequency control and the decoupling control for the thrust and normal force by analyzing these parameters can be successfully driven without interfering of each axis. These results exemplified the linear drive of SLIM with the reference value.
