The paper presents a method for controlling induction motors using a nonlinear internal model control (IMC) approach. The process model and the inverse model are developed in the rotor flux coordinate. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it easily specifies the performance (steady state error, transient response, etc.) and the robustness of the controller by means of the IMC filters. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results on a real time system show that the control system has good performance and robustness against changes in motor parameters (rotor and stator resistances, rotor and stator inductances, rotor inertia).

An interleaved DC/DC converter with series-connected transformers is presented to implement the features of zero voltage switching (ZVS), load current sharing and ripple current reduction. The proposed converter includes two half-bridge converter cells connected in series to reduce the voltage stress of the switches at one-half of the input voltage. The output sides of the two converter cells with interleaved pulse-width modulation are connected in parallel to reduce the ripple current at the output capacitor and to achieve load current sharing. Therefore, the size of the output chokes and the capacitor can be reduced. The output capacitances of the MOSFETs and the resonant inductances are resonant at the transition instant to achieve ZVS turn-on. In addition, the switching losses on the power switches are reduced. Finally, experiments on a laboratory prototype (24V/40A) are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper describes a fast response control of an inverter-fed induction Motor. The transfer function of the induction Motor controlled by this control method ie very similar to that of a separately exited dc motor. This paper presents the linear control method for the transfer function in the control of an inverter-fed induction motor, Acceding to this control, the response speed is correctly grasped faking the leakage inductances into account and the inverter-fed induction motor is controlled with fast response.

In this paper, finite element analysis for a PMASynRM is presented and the characteristic analysis of inductance and torque is performed under the effect of saturation. The focus of this paper is characteristic analysis of d and q-axis inductances and torque according to magnetizing quantity of interior permanent magnet for PMASynRM.

This paper presents the design of a new turn-off gate drive circuit for GTO which can accomplish faster turn-off switching. The major disadvantage of the conventional turn-off gate drive technique is that it has a difficulty in realizing high negative diS1GQT/dt because of VS1RGM(maximum reverse gate voltage) and stray inductances of turn-off gate drive circuit[1~2]. The new trun-off gate drive technique can overcome this problem by adding another turn-off gate drive circuit to the conventional turn-off gate drive circuit. Simulation and experimental results of the new turn-off gate drive circuit in conjunction with chopper circuit verify a faster turn-off switching performance.

Line-start motor has ability to start itself without using other methods, so, it is important to predict starting performance accurately. In this paper, the starting characteristics of single-phase capacitor-start, capacitor-run line-start motor was calculated by combination of d-q axis voltage equations and mechanical dynamic equations. D-q axis inductances of this machine varied with current phase angle and amplitude are considered. The validity of analysis method verified by comparing to test results.

In this paper, a layout-based CMOS RF model for RFIC's including the capacitance effect, the skin effect, and the proximity effect between metal lines on the Si surface is proposed for the first time for accurately predicting the RF behavior of CMOS devices. With these RF effects, the RF equivalent circuit model based on the layout of the multi-finger gate transistor is presented. The capacitances between metal lines on the Si surface are modeled with the layout. And the skin effect is modeled to the equivalent ladder circuit of metal line. The proximity effect is modeled by adding the mutual inductance between cross-coupled inductances in the ladder circuit representation. Compared to the BSIM 3v3 and other models, the proposed RF model shows better agreements with the measured data and shows well the frequency dependent behavior of devices in GHz ranges.

Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) provides the effect such as enhancement in power system reliability due to limiting fault current in a few miliseconds. The flux-lock type SFCL among various type SFCLs consists of two coils wound on the same iron core and a component using the YBCO thin film. In the SFCL, operation characteristics can be controlled by adjusting the inductances and the winding directions of the coils. In this paper, we investigated the various fault current limiting characteristics according to the voltage level. To analyze the current limiting performance, we compared operational characteristics on the subtractive polarity winding direction on in case of open-loop iron core.

The current control for interior permanent magnet machines is more complicate than surface permanent magnet machine because of its torque characteristic depending on the reluctance. For high performance torque control, it requires state decoupling between the d-current and q-current dynamics. However the variation of the inductances, which couples the state dynamics of the currents, makes the state decoupling difficult. So some decoupling methods have developed to cope this variations and each current can be regulated independently. This paper presents a novel approach for fully decoupling the states cross-coupling using parameter adaptation. The adaptation method is based on the error between reference currents and the currents with state decoupling which have to follow the references. This method is more object-oriented than the other online parameter estimation methods in IPM machine and other electrical machines

This paper, presents SECRET(SEC REliability Tool), which predicts reliability problems related to the hot-carrier and electromigration effects on the submicron MOSFETs and interconnections. To simulate DC and AC lifetime for hot-carrier damaged devices, we have developed an accurate substrate current model with the geometric sensitivity, which has been verified over the wide ranges of transistor geometries. A guideline can be provided to design hot-carrier resistant circuits by the analysis of HOREL(HOT-carrier RFsistant Logic) effect, and circuit degradation with respect to physical parameter degradation such as the threshold voltage and the mobility can also be expected. In SECRET, DC and AC MTTF values of metal lines are calculated based on lossy transmission line analysis, and parasitic resistances, inductances and capacitances of metal lines are accurately considered when they operate in the condition of high speed. Also, circuit-level reliability simulation can be applied to the determination of metal line width and-that of optimal capacitor size in substrate bias generation circuit. Experimental results obtained from the several real circuits show that SECERT is very useful to estimate and analyze reliability problems.
