A method for the fault-tolerant vector control of star-connected 3-phase Induction Motor (IM) drive systems based on Field-Oriented Control (FOC) is proposed in this paper. This method enables the control of a 3-phase IM in the presence of an open-phase failure in one of its phases without the need for control structure changes to the conventional FOC algorithm. The proposed drive system significantly reduces the speed and torque pulsations caused by an open-phase fault in the stator windings. The performance of the proposed method was verified using MATLAB (M-File) simulation as well experimental tests on a 1.5kW 3-phase IM drive system. This paper experimentally compares the operation of the proposed fault-tolerant vector controller and a conventional vector controller during open-phase fault.

This paper is focused on the optimum design for decreasing volume and increasing reliability of multi-stage gear drive. For the optimization on volume and reliability, multi-objective optimization is used. The genetic algorithm is introduced to multi-objective optimization method and it is used to develop the optimum design program using exterior penalty function method to solve the complicated subject conditions. A 5 staged gear drive(geared motor) is chosen to compare the result of developed optimum design method with the existing design. Each of the volume objective, reliability objective, and volume-reliability multi-objectives are performed and compared with existing design. As a result, optimum solutions are produced, which decrease volume and increase reliability. It is shown that the developed design method is good for multi-stage gear drive design.

A simple construction and low cost, fault tolerant power electronic drive has made the switched reluctance drive a strong contender for many applications. But, switched reluctance drive does exhibit higher levels of vibration and acoustic noise than that of most competing drives. The main source of vibration in the switched reluctance drive is generated by rapid change of radial magnetic force when phase current is extinguished during commutation action. In this paper,2 excitation method is proposed and compared to reduce vibration and acoustic noise of the switched reluctance drive. The excitation strategies considered this research are 1-phase, 2-phase and hybrid excitation method. 1-phase method is a conventional and 2-phase method is excited 2 phases simultaneously. The hybrid excitation has 2-phase excitation by long dwell angle as well as conventional 1-phase excitation. The vibration and acoustic noise are compared and tested. Suggested 2-phase and hybrid strategies reduce acoustic noise because the scheme reduces abrupt change of excitation level by distributed and balanced excitation.

A new high frequency switching drive method using IGBT is proposed for non-magnetic induction heating system. Using this method, the switching and conduction losses of the switching devices can be reduced. In addition, since IGBT cosl is lower than MOS-FET one, the system cosl can be remarkably pared down. The prototype induction heating system with 1.2㎾ power consumption is builted and tested to verify the operation of the proposed high frequency switching drive method.

Recently, there has been much interest in practical use of standardized HD map that can effectively define roads, lanes, junctions, road signs, and road facilities in autonomous driving. Various kinds of de jure or de facto standards such as ISO 22726-1, ISO 14296, HERE HD Live map, NDS open lane model, OpenDRIVE, and NGII HD map are currently being used. However, there are lots of differences in data modeling among these standards, it makes difficult to use them together in autonomous driving. Therefore, we propose a data model conversion method to enable an efficient use of various kinds of HD map standards in autonomous driving in this study. Specifically, we propose a conversion method between the NGII HD map model, which is easily accessible in the country, and the OpenDRIVE model, which is commonly used in the autonomous driving industry. The proposed method consists of simple conversion of NGII HD map layers into OpenDRIVE objects, new OpenDRIVE objects creation corresponding to NGII HD map layers, and linear transformation of NGII HD map layers for OpenDRIVE objects creation. Finally, we converted some test data of NGII HD map into OpenDRIVE objects, and checked the conversion results through Carla simulator. We expect that the proposed method will greatly contribute to improving the use of NGII HD map in autonomous driving.

Conventional SVPWM method has null switching vectors. Null switching vectors cause common-mode voltage making high in induction motor drive system. New SVPWM method without using null switching vectors are proposed in the paper. So, new SVPWM method reduces the common mode voltage for induction motor drive system. It is realized by changing software without adding hardware to induction motor drive system. Simulation results show that common-mode voltage adapting proposed method are reduced regarding conventional method.

As the current shape of SRM is of pulse type and changed by the motor parameters and drive conditions, the influences on the drive efficiency by control method are more than other types of motors. In this paper, a proper excitation condition to drive a SRM with high efficiency is proposed and tested. It is derived from the conditions that the phase current of a SRM is to be flat-topped at various drive. The saturation effect of magnetic circuit is accounted for more accurate analysis. Experimental tests are executed to verify the proposed excitation method. This drive system is easy to commutate and also advantageous in reducing torque ripple. (author). 6 refs., 10 figs., 1 tab.

The synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) servo-drive system has highly nonlinear uncertainties owing to a convex construction effect. It is difficult for the linear control method to achieve good performance for the SynRM drive system. The nonlinear backstepping control system using upper bound with switching function is proposed to inhibit uncertainty action for controlling the SynRM drive system. However, this method uses a large upper bound with a switching function, which results in a large chattering. In order to reduce this chattering, a nonlinear backstepping control system using an adaptive law is proposed to estimate the lumped uncertainty. Since this method uses an adaptive law, it cannot achiever satisfactory performance. Therefore, a nonlinear backstepping control system using a reformed recurrent Hermite polynomial neural network with an adaptive law and an error estimated law is proposed to estimate the lumped uncertainty and to compensate the estimated error in order to enhance the robustness of the SynRM drive system. Further, the reformed recurrent Hermite polynomial neural network with two learning rates is derived according to an increment type Lyapunov function to speed-up the parameter convergence. Finally, some experimental results and a comparative analysis are presented to verify that the proposed control system has better control performance for controlling SynRM drive systems.
