This thesis proposes novel SRP-PWM(Separately Random Pulse Position PWM) techniques and novel two-phase switching pattern applied to four-switch inverter, having various advantages such as operation time decrease that is required for decrease of switching damage, easy of implementation and inverter control at high frequency switching. In this thesis, we wish to confirm that SRP-PWM techniques disperse harmonic spectrum of inverter output current evenly into wide frequency area, that is, side-band of specification frequency. And we confirm the harmonic reduction effect of proposed techniques. Therefore, we will achieve an experiment by IGBT inverter using DSP and will verify the validity of proposed techniques compared with simulation results that use MATLAB/SIMULINK.

With the advent of fast power devices, the high dv/dt voltage produced by PWM inverts have been found to cause EMI noise, shaft voltage and bearing current. This paper describes the application of newly developed Conducted EMI reduction SVPWM technique in induction motor drives. The newly developed common mode voltage reduction SVPWM technique don't use any zero-vector states for inverter control, hence it can restrict the common mode voltage more than conventional PWM technique. The validity of the proposed technique by software approach is verified through simulation and experimental results.

The cause of black out of Tokyo Power in 1987 has been identified as the voltage stability problem. After this event many researchers has been interested in voltage stability or voltage collapse phenomena. The voltage instability is different Com the transient stability in the sense of reactive power mismatch and the long duration time. In this study, we developed efficient tool for analyze and control the dynamic voltage instability. To analize specific condition of dynamic voltage stability, quasi-dynamic simulation method is developed. To provide proper mathmatical model for dynamic voltage stability, generator, SVC, OLTC, induction motor models are introducted. To provide specified dynamic voltage stability, the authors considered to use reactive loss function(${\partial}Q/{\partial}p_L$) as reactive power facility control index. This program was tested and identified its usefulness in real KEPCO system.

In this paper, an auto-diagnosis method of rotor bar fault for small induction motor is suggested. Usually FFT of stator currents are given the good results, but to detect the fault, slip is needed for calculating the feature frequency. The slip is varied as the load is changed. So in this paper, some alternative method for estimating the load is suggested. This method is based on the Park's vector pattern. The magnitudes of the feature frequency are compared with the threshhold that is predefined in the bounded range of load. The healthy rotor, single rotor bar fault and double rotor bar fault are tested with no load, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% rated load. From 50% to 100% rated load case, the rotor bar faults are detectable using indirect estimation of the load and the comparing the magnitudes of feature frequency. The no load case and under 40% rated load case, rotor fault are un detectable.

A newly-built inverter has to undergo a series of stress tests in the final stage of production line. This can be achieved by connecting it to a dynamometer consisting of a three-phase machine joined by a rigid shaft to a DC load machine. The latter is controlled to create some specific load characteristic needed for the test. In this paper a test method is proposed, in which no mechanical equipment is needed. The suggested test stand consists only of a inverter to be tested and a simulator converter. Both devices are connected back- to-back on the AC-side via smoothing reactors. The simulator operates in real-time as an equivalent load circuit, so that the device under test will only notice the behaviour of a three-phase machine under consideration of the load. In odor to wove rightness of the suggested test method, the simulation and actural experiment rallied out emulation for a 2.2kW induction motor.

This paper deals with the design and modal characteristics analysis of a drive-train for a paralleltype hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The function of the drive-train system (DTS) in the HEV combines or divides the torque and velocity from the internal combustion engine along with the induction motor. The system consists of a compound planetary gear and unit's electromagnetic clutch to provide the operation modes such as Engine Only (EO), Electric Vehicle (EV), and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) modes. In order to investigate the characteristics of the velocity and torque flow for the system, dynamic models of the HEV with DTS are derived from the prototype DTS. The performance of the derived dynamic models is evaluated by both computer simulations and experiments according to each mode.

Authors design a rotary-type small-scaled linear induction motor(LIM) and a performance test machine before manufacturing a real-scaled LIM for a railway transit. The designed LIM is a single-sided, short primary type and its primary has 4 poles. The rated power is 10(kW). In order to analyze characteristics of the LIM, authors use a mixed 2D-3D FEM analysis. 3-D FEM analysis is used for calculating a distribution of eddy-current on the semi-caped AL-sheet of the secondary reaction. Authors calculate a correction factor of conductivity and an equivalent conductivity on the secondary AL-sheet using a normalized eddy-current. The equivalent conductivity which is calculated in this way includes a transverse edge-effect of the LIM. Authors apply the equivalent conductivity on the secondary AL-sheet of 2D-FEM model and get performance characteristics of the LIM. Basic characteristics such as thrust and normal force, input current, efficiency and power factor of the LIM have been analyzed with the variation of frequency and speed. In order to apply an air-gap control system, the variation of the basic characteristics have been analyzed with the air-gap length variation of the LIM. Finally, authors introduce an operation mode using the air-gap control system and conduct a research on feasibility of the system.

The inverter is an essential part of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive systems. The performance of an inverter is greatly influenced by its modulation strategy. Using a proper management of modulation strategies can guarantee high performance from a PMSM under various speed conditions. Switching between modulations is a pivotal technique that determines the performance of a PMSM. Most works on hybrid methods focus on two-level induction motors drive systems. In this paper, in order to improve the performance of PMSMs under various speed conditions, a hybrid method of a pulse width modulation (PWM) control scheme based on a neutral-point-clamped (NPC) three level topology was proposed. This hybrid PWM modulation comprised space vector PWM (SVPWM) and selective harmonic elimination PWM (SHEPWM). Under low speed conditions, the SVPWM is employed to cause the PMSM to start smoothly, and to obtain a rapid response from the control system. Under high speed conditions, the SHEPWM is employed to reduce the switching frequency and to eliminate particular current harmonics. Moreover, the harmonic characteristics of different modulations are analyzed to obtain a smooth transition between the SHEPWM and the SVPWM. Experimental and simulation results indicated the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

This study is based on research on a magnetic induction amplification power generation system using quantum fluctuations, and aims to confirm the similarity to the meissner effect through quantum analysis using magnets and suggest the possibility of utilizing alternative energy. Research was conducted on increasing the efficiency of motors based on the similarity between magnetic quantum array experimental devices and the superconductor phenomenon. It was confirmed that the experimental device that arranged the quantum of magnetism rotated by canceling out the magnetism by having a resistance value of "0", which is not a general characteristic of magnetism that generates attractive force. This is an observation of the similarity between the superconductor phenomenon and the meissner effect, and it was confirmed that material synthesis or temperature had little effect. This study confirmed that the efficiency is more than 20 times that of existing power on average. Therefore, this study suggests that there is a possibility of commercialization of an Energy Harvesting System (EHS) that can produce and store energy.
