An improved circulating current suppression control method is proposed in this paper. In the proposed controller, an outer loop of the average capacitor voltage control model is used to balance the sub-module capacitor voltage. Meanwhile, an individual voltage balance controller and an arm voltage balance controller are also used. The DC and harmonic components of the circulating current are separated using a low pass filter. Therefore, a multiple quasi-proportional-resonant (multi-quasi-PR) controller is introduced in the inner loop to eliminate the circulating harmonic current, which mainly contains second-order harmonic but also contains other high-order harmonics. In addition, the parameters of the multi-quasi-PR controller are designed in the discrete domain and an analysis of the stability characteristic is given in this paper. In addition, a simulation model of a three-phase MMC system is built in order to confirm the correctness and superiority of the proposed controller. Finally, experiment results are presented and compared. These results illustrate that the improved control method has good performance in suppressing circulating harmonic current and in balancing the capacitor voltage.

본 연구는 piezo-electric transducer 등가회로의 모델링에 관한 연구로서 진동시에 발생하는 공진주파수와 harmonics까지 고려한 등가모델을 제시하였다. 실험결과 공진주파수만을 고려한 모델의 경우 harmonics를 제외한 부분에서 평균 6.5%의 오차가 발생하였으며 harmonics까지 고려한 모델에서는 평균오차가 5.3%로서 그 차이점을 줄일 수 있어 실제등가회로에 접근함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 음향변환기의 전기적 특성을 파악함으로써 전기-음향 상사관계의 제반응용에 이용될 것이 기대된다.

When ultrasound propagates to a crack, transmitted and reflected waves are generated. These waves have useful information for the detection of the crack lying in a structure. When a crack is under residual stress, crack surfaces will contact each other and a closed crack is formed. For closed cracks, the fundamental component of the reflected and transmitted waves will be weak, and as such it is not easy to detect them. In this case, higher harmonic components will be useful. In this paper, nonlinear characteristic of a closed crack is modeled by a continuum material having a tensile-compressive unsymmetry, and the amplitude of the second harmonic wave was obtained by spectrum analysis. Variation of the second harmonic component depending on the nonlinearity of the inclusion was investigated. Two-dimensional plane strain model is considered, and finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit is used.

In the present study, active control of a smart beam under forced vibration is analyzed. The aluminum smart beam is composed of two piezoelectric patches and strain gauge. One of the piezoelectric patches is used as controlling actuator while the other piezoelectric patch is used as vibration generating shaker. The smart beam is harmonically excited by the piezoelectric shaker at its fundamental frequency. The strain gauge is utilized to sense the vibration level. Active vibration reduction under harmonic excitation is achieved using both strain and displacement feedback control. Control actions, the finite element (FE) modeling and analyses are directly carried out by using ANSYS parametric design language (APDL). Experimental applications are performed with LabVIEW. Dynamic behavior at the tip of the beam is evaluated for the uncontrolled and controlled responses. The simulation and experimental results are compared. Good agreement is observed between simulation and experimental results under harmonic excitation.

전기부하설비의 전압, 전류, 전력, 고조파 등의 분석을 위해서는 수학적 모델링 보다는 실제 계측을 통한 전력분석이 필요하고 이를 통해 전기설비의 효율적인 관리, 에너지 절약 및 사고 예방에 필요한 대책을 수립할 수 있다. 특히 비선형 부하에 의해 발생되는 고조파의 대책수립을 위해 계측을 통한 전력분석이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전기부하설비에 공급되는 전력을 측정하고 분석할 수 있는 저가형 데이터 획득 시스템을 DSP 기반으로 개발하였고 이를 실제 전력계통에 설치하여 전력 및 고조파의 측정과 분석을 수행함으로써 그 성능을 입증하였다.

Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is a new medical imaging modality providing cross-sectional images of a conductivity distribution inside an electrically conducting object. MREIT has rapidly progressed in its theory, algorithm and experimental technique and now reached the stage of in vivo animal and human experiments. Conductivity image reconstructions in MREIT require various steps of carefully implemented numerical computations. To facilitate MREIT research, there is a pressing need for an MREIT software package with an efficient user interface. In this paper, we present an example of such a software, called CoReHA which stands for conductivity reconstructor using harmonic algorithms. It offers various computational tools including preprocessing of MREIT data, identification of boundary geometry, electrode modeling, meshing and implementation of the finite element method. Conductivity image reconstruction methods based on the harmonic $B_z$ algorithm are used to produce cross-sectional conductivity images. After summarizing basics of MREIT theory and experimental method, we describe technical details of each data processing task for conductivity image reconstructions. We pay attention to pitfalls and cautions in their numerical implementations. The presented software will be useful to researchers in the field of MREIT for simulation as well as experimental studies.

단독운전이란 계통의 점검이나 사고로 인해 피더가 계통과 분리된 상태에서 태양광 발전설비가 멈추지 않고 운전을 계속하는 것을 의미한다. 정전된 배선 선로가 충전되어 공중감전, 기기손상, 작업원 감전 위험성이 있기 때문에 법적으로 사양이 규제되어 있다. 신재생에너지의 보급이 늘어남에 따라서 단독운전의 검출 기준이나 계통 보호 사양들이 점점 강화되면서 새로운 연구 방법에 대한 요구가 늘어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 계통전원의 하모닉 성분을 이용한 단독운전 검출방법에 대해서 다룬다. 태양광 발전 시스템이 계통에 연결되었을 경우와 분리되었을 경우, 계통연결점에서의 등가 고조파 성분이 달라지는 사실에서 하모닉 성분의 변화량으로 단독운전을 판별하는 방법이다. 이 방법의 장점은 기존의 방법보다 비검출 영역을 줄일 수 있고 빠른 검출시간을 가질 수 있다. 또한 계통전원의 외란에 대해서도 강한 특성을 가진다. 고조파 모델링을 이용한 이론적인 해석과 고성능 32-bit 부동소수점 DSP를 이용한 실험결과로서 본 연구의 타당성을 입증하였다.

Due to detection and control errors, some high-frequency harmonics with voltage-source characteristics cause circulating currents in modular inverters. Moreover, the circulating currents are usually affected by the output filters (OF) of each module due to their filter and resonance properties. The interaction among the circulating currents in the modules increase the power loss and reduce system stability and control precision. Therefore, this paper reports the results of a study on the SPWM high-frequency harmonics circulating currents for a double-module VSI. In the paper, an analysis of the circulating-current circuits is briefly described. Next, a mathematic model of the single-module output voltage based on the carrier frequency of SPWM is built. On this basis, through mathematic modeling of high-frequency harmonic circulating currents, the formation mechanism and distribution characteristics of circular currents and their influences are studied in detail. Finally, the influences of the OF on the circulating currents are studied by mainly taking an LC-type filter as an example. A theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate some important characteristics. First, the carrier phase shifting of the SPWM for each module is the major cause of the SPWM harmonic circulating currents, and the circulating currents are in an odd distribution around n-times the carrier frequency $n{\omega}_s$, where n = 1, 2, 3, ${\ldots}$. Second, the harmonic circular currents do not flow into the parallel system. Third, the OF can effectively suppress the non-circulating part of the high-frequency harmonic currents but is ineffective for the circulation part, and actually reduces system stability.

Nonlinear loads with harmonics exist in an actual power system where harmonic currents make voltage distortion. The sum of reactive power measured at individual load is different from the measured reactive power at a bus in a power system with linear and non-linear loads. In this study, ANN(artificial neural network) load modeling technique with consideration of harmonics is introduced for more accurate component load modeling and an impact coefficient is proposed for aggregation of component loads. Results of this research show more accurate load modeling method. Since precise data for power system analysis can be acquired, the proposed method will be used for power system planning and maintenance.

This paper proposes a systematic approach to the modeling of the small-signal characteristics of three-phase bridge boost rectifiers under non-sinusoidal conditions. The main obstacle to the conventional synchronous d-q frame modeling approach is that it is unable to identify a steady-state under non-sinusoidal conditions. However, for most applications under non-sinusoidal conditions, the current loops of boost rectifiers are designed to have a bandwidth that is much higher than typical harmonics frequencies in order to achieve good current control for these harmonic components. Therefore a quasi-static method is applied to the proposed modeling approach. The converter small-signal characteristics developed from conventional synchronous frame modeling under different operating points are investigated and a worst case point is then located for the current loop design. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses are presented. It is observed that operating points influence the converter low frequency characteristics but hardly affect the dominant poles. The relationship between power stage parameters, system poles and zeroes is also presented which offers good support for the system design. Both the simulation and experimental results verified the analysis and proposed modeling approach. Finally, the practical case of a parallel active power filter is studied to present the modeling approach and the resultant regulator design procedure. The system performance further verifies the whole analysis.
