In this paper, a three-phase induction machine-based wind power generation scheme is proposed. This scheme uses a low-cost diode bridge rectifier circuit connected to an induction machine via an ac load voltage regulator (AC-LVR) to regulate dc power transfer. The AC-LVR is used to regulate the DC load voltage of the diode bridge rectifier circuit which is connected to the three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG). The excitation of the three-phase SEIG is supplied by the static VAR compensator (SVC). This simple method for obtaining a full variable-speed wind turbine system by applying a back-to-back power converter to a wound rotor induction generator is useful for wind power generation at widely varying speeds. The dynamic performance responses and the experimental results of connecting a 5kW 220V three-phase SEIG directly to a diode bridge rectifier are presented for various loads. Moreover, the steady-state simulated and experimental results of the PI closed-loop feedback voltage regulation scheme prove the practical effectiveness of these simple methods for use with a wind turbine system.

This paper studies new estimation method for state of charge (SOC) of the hybrid electric vehicle lithium battery using sliding mode observer. A simple R-C Lithium battery modeling technique is established and the errors caused by simple modeling was compensated by the sliding mode observer. The structure of the sliding mode observer is simple, but it shows robust control property against modeling errors and uncertainties. The performance of the system has been verified by the UUDS test. The test results of the proposed observer system shows robust tracking performance under real driving environments.

We have developed a simple model of a bright-room contrast ratio (BRCR) measurement system for plasma display panels (PDPs) adopting a contrast enhancement film (CEF) by using an illumination design tool. Only four model parameters were used, namely, total ambient illumination power delivered by fluorescent lamps, a panel scattering rate, illuminance of PDP white patterns, and the absorption coefficient of a color adjusting film. These parameters were determined by simple optical measurements and matching simulations. The proposed model was employed to predict the BRCR values of four different CEF samples, and the simulated ones were found to be in agreement with measured ones within about 10% relative-error.

In this paper, an improved timing synchronization method for OFDM system is proposed. In multipath fading channels, timing offset estimation algorithm based on simple correlation metric can cause inter-symbol interference (ISI). The proposed algorithm promises accurate timing offset estimation, which can be achieved by simple windowing. The estimation errors in several multipath channels are evaluated in computer simulations.

A Multi-Robot Control language (MRCL) is proposed to effectively control the multi-robot. MRCL has not only single-robot, command, but multi-robot command with multi-task OS, XINU. Concurrent motion, coordinate motion, and simple collision avoidance motion are implemented. This language is expected to act as a intelligent supporting tool for multi-robot system. To verify the effectiveness of the MRCL, a simple puzzle matching example is illustrated.

A simple and new CMOS potentiostat circuit for amperometric sensor is described. To maintain a constant potential between the reference and working electrodes, only one differential difference amplifier (DDA) is needed in proposed design, while conventional potentiosatat requires at least 2 operational amplifiers and 2 resistors, or more than 3 operational amplifiers and 4 resistors for low voltage CMOS integrated potentiostat. The DDA with rail-to-rail design not only enables the full range operation to supply voltage but also provides simple potentiostat system with small hardwares and low power consumption.

In this numerical study, characteristics of swirl generation by the fan and selection of the location of the fan was studied theoretically by the modified TEACH code. The governing equations for the system are solved by means of the k dimensional version of the SIMPLE method and STAGGERED grid. From the present results, the optimal position of the fm is 0.625(h/H).

We present a simple approach to finding the stationary workload of M/G/1 queues having generalized vacations and exhaustive service discipline. The approach is based on the level crossing technique. According to the approach, all that we need is the workload at the beginning of a busy period. An example system to which we apply the approach is the M/G/1 queue with both multiple vacations and D-policy.

The use of soft-lithography instead of standard photolithography and dry etching technologies is attractive because inexpensive optical device can be realized. Polymerization using multi-photon absorption of materials is also a good method for optical waveguide fabrication. Laser induced self-writing technology of optical waveguide is also very simple and attractive. Using these processes, we can fabricate and interconnect optical circuits at once. In this presentation, several simple fabrication methods will be introduced. New optical loss evaluation method for polymer optical waveguides will also be presented

Other problems associated with pole placement have been discussed. A simple algorithm for output feedback pole shifting has been developed. The algorithm is based on minimising an objective function which is the sum of the exponential of the real part of the system colsed loop eigenvalues. It is demonstrated that the algorithm is simple and effective in arriving at a suitable feedback matrix for the control of boiler using only two measurement.
