Physical fundamentals of ultrashort femtosecond lasers are addressed along with emerging applications for precision manufacturing and metrology. Femtosecond lasers emit short pulses whose temporal width is in the range of less than a picosecond to a few femtoseconds, thereby enabling extremely high peak-power machining with less thermal damages. Besides, the broad spectral bandwidth of femtosecond lasers constructed in the form of frequency comb permits absolute distance measurements leading to ultraprecision positioning control and dimensional metrology.

A recently developed electro-thermal simulation methodology is used to analyze the behavior of a PWM(Pulse-Width-Modulated) voltage source inverter which uses IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) as the switching devices. In the electro-thermal network simulation methdology, the simulator solves for the temperature distribution within the power semiconductor devices(IGBT electro-thermal model), control logic circuitry, the IGBT gate drivers, the thermal network component models for the power silicon chips, package, and heat sinks as well as the current and voltage within the electrical network. The thermal network describes the flow of heat form the chip surface through the package and heat sink and thus determines the evolution of the chip surface temperature used by the power semiconductor device models. The thermal component model for the device silicon chip, packages, and heat sink are developed by discretizing the nonlinear heat diffusion equation and are represented in component from so that the thermal component models for various package and heat sink can be readily connected to on another to form the thermal network.

There are many increasing demands for efficient high power density of auxiliary power unit(APU) for high speed traction application. Many techniques have been proposed to measure the voltage flicker on the traditional pulse width modulation(PWM) inverter. This paper proposes a novel functionality of the static inverter on the APU to mitigate the voltage flicker and regulate the output voltage. A new control algorithm for the inverter based on the Hilbert transform(HT) is presented. The HT is employed as an effective technique for tracking the voltage flicker levels in APU systems. Simulation results are provided to verify the tracking capabilities of the HT and to evaluate the performance of the proposed DG interface for multi-function operation.

본 논문은 철도 차량용 보조전원 장치의 부피 저감을 위하여 펄스 폭 제어가 포함된 공진형 LLC 컨버터를 제안한다. 철도 차량용 보조전원 장치는 가선에 연결되어 객차의 각종 전원을 공급하는 장치로써 객실 내의 전원과 절연이 필수적이다. 따라서 고효율의 절연형 DC/DC 컨버터인 LLC 컨버터가 적용되어 있으나, 가선의 큰 입력전압 변동에 대응하기 위해 스위칭 주파수의 변조 폭이 넓어질 뿐 아니라 제어 난도가 증가하는 단점을 가진다. 이러한 LLC 컨버터의 단점을 보완하기 위해 Boost+LLC 또는 Buck+LLC 컨버터의 두 단계의 전력변환을 통해 Boost 또는 Buck 컨버터가 LLC 컨버터의 입력전압을 제어하며, LLC 컨버터는 항상 공진 주파수에서 동작하도록 제어하는 시스템이 주로 사용된다. 본 논문은 3레벨 LLC 컨버터에 펄스 폭 변조를 적용하여 입력전압 제어를 달성하며, 이를 통해 기존의 시스템보다 부피 저감을 달성하는 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 전력변환 모의해석 프로그램인 PSIM 및 Matlab을 통해 검증되었다.

As global environmental regulations have been strengthened, the eco-friendly market has grown rapidly. In the field of aircraft, research on electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft that can enter city centers and perform personal air transportation using electric propulsion is ongoing. For aircraft using electric propulsion methods to operate reliably, electric power thrust systems are a key factor. Electric aircraft require a high power density for propulsion systems with strict limits on volume and weight. The efficient control of inverter systems is essential for achieving high power density. Therefore, in this paper, the characteristics of inverters and motors were analyzed through simulations based on the space vector pulse width modulation (PWM) and discontinuous PWM methods for controlling inverter systems.

With the aim to maximize the use of a given voltage source in the field of railway and electric vehicles, this study applies a technique for controlling the overmodulation region between the linear and the six-step regions. High linearity overmodulation techniques that do not use look-up table (LUT) to digital signal processor (DSP) using carrier based pulse width modulation (PWM) are proposed. Such technique requires the phase of the voltage vector at the point where the circular trajectory of the voltage command vector and hexagonal cross each other. Therefore, a method is proposed to obtain a phase of a voltage vector that is derived through an equation and applied to a carrier-based PWM. Validity of the proposed implementation method is confirmed through simulation and experiment.

효율 및 내환경성에서 우수한 성능을 갖는 매입형 영구자석 동기전동기(IPMSM, Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)는 최근 철도차량용 견인전동기로서 주목받고 있다. 일반 도시 철도차량의 추진제어시스템은 장시간 연속 운행 및 자연통풍냉각 방식의 설계가 요구되므로 대전력 스위칭으로 인한 발열 문제가 고려된 낮은 스위칭 주파수 및 6-스텝 제어 아래 인버터의 고성능 제어가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 6-스텝 및 낮은 스위칭 주파수로 IPMSM을 제어하기 위한 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 동기화 방법을 기술하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제어 성능을 검증하였다.

MSIS(Modular Scalable Inverter System)에서 모터 구동 시 발생하는 고주파 성분의 순환 전류는 구동 시스템의 효율 및 신뢰성을 저하시키기 때문에, 이를 저감하기 위한 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 동기화 기법의 구현이 필수적으로 요구 된다. 본 논문은 MSIS에서 PWM 동기화 기법을 적용하기 위한 모터 구동 인버터용 제어보드의 설계에 관한 것이다. 제어보드 간 PWM 동기화 기법을 적용하기 위해 DSP(Digital Signal Processor)의 EPWMSYNC를 활용하였다. EPWMSYNC은 서로 다른 DSP간 PWM의 위상을 동기화하는 기능으로 DSP의 EPWMSYNCO과 EPWMSYNCI를 사용한다. 설계한 제어보드는 EPWMSYNC 신호를 광케이블을 통해 다른 제어보드로 연결할 수 있도록 설계하여, 제어보드 간의 절연과 잡음의 영향을 최소화했다. 본 논문에서 설계한 제어보드의 EPWMSYNC를 시험하였으며, 600W급 IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)을 부하로 사용하는 시스템에서 설계된 제어보드의 유효성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents a novel soft-switching PWM utility frequency AC to high frequency AC power conversion circuit incorporating boost-half-bridge inverter topology, which is more suitable and acceptable for cost effective consumer induction heating applications. The operating principle and the operation modes are presented using the switching mode and the operating voltage and current waveforms. The performances of this high-frequency inverter using the latest IGBTs are illustrated, which includes high frequency power regulation and actual efficiency characteristics based on zero voltage soft switching (ZVS) operation ranges and the power dissipation as compared with those of the previously developed high-frequency inverter. In addition, a dual mode control scheme of this high frequency inverter based on asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse density modulation (PDM) control scheme is discussed in this paper in order to extend the soft switching operation ranges and to improve the power conversion efficiency at the low power settings. The power converter practical effectiveness is substantially proved based on experimental results from practical design example.
