This paper proposed a transfer function of a frequency-controlled resonant inverter for output power control. The inverter is modeled as an equivalent circuit by using Phasor transformation. A transfer function is derived from the equivalent circuit which contains cross-coupled nonlinear parts. By simulation of the circuit, the transfer function can be approximated as a linear first-order function. The proposed transfer function is verified through comparison of experimental and simulation results.

In order to increase the seismic safety of nuclear power plant (NPP) structures in high seismicity regions, seismic isolation techniques can be adapted to NPP structures. In this paper, the applicability of multi-step analysis of seismically isolated NPP containment structures with lead-rubber bearings (LRB) is evaluated. The floor response spectrum of NPP containment structures with equivalent linear LRB and nonlinear LRB are compared. In addition, the force-displacement relationships for equivalent linear LRB and nonlinear LRB are compared.

This paper proposes a novel fault diagnosis method of a electrolytic capacitor used for DC-link voltage smoothing in adjustable speed drives. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the electrolytic capacitor is directly estimated from DC-link voltage and load currents and the status of the electrolytic capacitor is determined from the estimated ESR. To compensate the variation of the ESR owing to temperature variation, diodes are located on the same PCB near the capacitor and the temperature of the capacitor is sensed indirectly from the voltage drop of diodes. Simulation and experimental studies show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

dynamic analysis of power systems is required the information for building a transfer function of has the heavy calculation of high order matrices. Since generally the order of the state matrix is over the limit of commercial analysis programs such as MASS(Multi-Area Small Signal Stability) Program, it is necessary to develop dynamic equivalent systems with preserving essential properties of the original system. In this work, a procedurd to find an optimal location of FACTS controllers is presented. The procedure was applied to KEPCO system in the year of 2000. The results on a test system demonstrate the accuracy of dynamic equivalencing and verify the effect of FACTS controllers.

In this paper, the static characteristics of the trapezoidal corrugated plate under uniformly distributed pressure are investigated by the analytical method. Because the corrugated plate is very flexible in the corrugation direction and stiff in the transverse direction, the corrugated plate is treated as the orthotropic plate. This equivalent orthotropic plate must include both the extensional and flexural effect to obtain the precise solution. The effective extensional and flexural stiffness of the trapezoidal corrugated plate are derived to consider these effects in the analysis. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach, the comparison is made with the previously published results. Some numerical results are presented to check the effect of the geometric properties.

By employing the concept of equivalent linkage, this paper presents an analytical method for analyzing the mechanical errors of disk cam mechanisms with a flat-faced follower. The resulting error equations do not really involve the location of the curvature center of the cam profile, and locating the curvature center of the cam profile is not essential. The resulting errors are significantly affected by the pressure angle, and the smaller pressure angle will result in the smaller mechanical error. In the worst case, owing to the joined effects of various design parameters, the accuracy of the follower motion may degrade considerably. For the oscillating follower case, all acceleration error functions have a sudden change at every beginning and at every end of the motion even though the theoretical follower displacement is cycloidal motion.

The safety block which prevents drop of laborers at high altitude was analyzed by finite element method. Elastic analysis was done by Ansys ver. 11.0. and tetrahedral meshing was used. As load applied more vertically at the fixed face of saw tooth, the stress concentration became smaller and the load distributed broader. When load worked at saw tooth and the shape was more straight to the direction of load, most stresses except principal stress became smaller. When the area of the load increased, principal stress and equivalent stress could be decreased simultaneously. A principal stress and other various stresses occurred in 3D shape, therefore revised model which has smaller equivalent stress than other models shows excellence on the stability and the credibility.

This paper proposes a new method of the state reduction in dynamic equations of generators in large electric power system stability analysis. This method assumes study groups whose state trajectories we are interested in, coherency groups whose state trajectories are similar to the other state trajectories of generators in the same coherency group by a certain disturbance. By the weighted sum or the other method, the states of generators in one coherency group can be reduced to the equivalent states of an equivalent generator. This method is shown to be highly efficient in reducing the number of states with small error by the result of case study presented latter part of this paper.

The SMT(Surface Mount Type) ferrite bead used to reduce the influx of power bus noise is modeled with parallel capacitor(C), series resistor(R) and series inductor(L). The simple equivalent circuit modeling doesn't agree with the measurement result. In this paper, we proposed the accurate equivalent circuit model of the ferrite bead at wide frequency range(50 MHz∼3 GHz) and analyzed the noise effect to the high speed IC(Integrate Circuit) with ferrite bead or not.

This paper deals with the characteristic and thermal analysis of brushless motors for Rack assist type Electric Power Steering(REPS). The performance of permanent magnet is under the influence of temperature. To predict the motor performance, the thermal analysis is necessary. The equivalent thermal network is composed of the thermal resistance and the temperature of major parts is calculated according to the operating condition.
