기존의 단방향 차단기 소전류 차단성능 해석에서는 해석의 편의를 위해 실제 차단기의 고정부(고정아크접점과 피스톤)를 움직이게 하고 가동부(퍼퍼 실린더 노즐 등)를 고정시켜 놓고 해석을 하였다. 기존 차단기에서는 이런 식으로 해석을 하여도 아무런 문제가 발생하지 않았으나 이번 당사 모델인 550kV 50kA 1점절 차단기는 차단성능 향상을 위해 양방향으로 구동이 이루어지고 있어서 기존 방식으로 해석을 하는 것이 거의 불가능하다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 상용프로그램인 PHOENICS를 이용하여 실제 차단기와 마찬가지로 가동부가 움직이도록 모의하는 방법을 개발하여 550kV 1점절 차단기의 소전류 차단성능을 평가하였으며, 앞으로 개발될 모든 복잡한 형태의 차단기도 쉽게 해석할 수 있는 계기를 마련하였다.

The transmission performance of 10Gb/s optical duobinary transmitters implemented by using a Mach-Zehnder(MZ) modulator and an optical delay interferometer is presented. We investigated the theoretical impact of transmission systems by the modulator driving voltage ratio(=driving voltage/switching voltage) and the optical interferometer time delay to improve transmission distance using computer simulation. By reducing the driving voltage ratio and optimizing the partial bit time delay, the transmission performance has been improved greatly.

On the prediction of driving performance, an acceleration performance is normally simulated in stall starting condition which is the engine status of full-throttle and high-speed. The lack of transient engine torque data makes the difficulty of predicting an acceleration performance on engine-idle start condition. A experimental equation of transient engine torque is derived from vehicle performance test data. It is applied to simulation the accleration performance prediction on idle starting condition.

In this paper, a design scheme of a cruise control system for an electric vehicle using piece-wised PD control is proposed. Cruise control of electric vehicles is one of the major performance elements. Drive motors having linear characteristics ideally is required in order to achieve the cruise driving. But practical motors have nonlinear characteristics and the performance of the motors can be improved by the closed-loop control to compensate it. In this paper, we improved the performance of by applying piece-wised PD control because the driving motors having nonlinear characteristics are difficult to obtain adequate performance only using closed-loop control. In order to test the proposed method, the experiments were carried out by applying the proposed method after setting up an electric vehicle equiped with a driving motors having large nonlinear characteristics. The experiment results of the proposed piece-wised PD control shows better performance than that of closed-loop control.

This paper proposes a fast fault detection algorithm under open-circuit fault of a switch for a brushless DC(BLDC) motor drive system. This proposed method is configured without the additional devices for fault detection and identification. The fault detection and identification are achieved by a simple algorithm using the operating characteristic of the BLDC motor. After the fault identification, the drive system is reconfigured for continuous operation. This system is reconfigured by four-switch topology connecting a faulty leg to the middle point of DC-link bidirectional switches. This proposed method can also be embedded into existing BLDC motor drive systems as a subroutine without excessive computational effort. The feasibility of a the proposed fault detection algorithm is validated in simulation and experiment.

The torque ripple that is generated by the irregularity of magnetic flux density on the BLDC motor in a satellite actuator degrades the satellite attitude control performance. In this paper, the performance analysis of permanent magnet configurations (shape, arrangement, and air gap) is simulated by the Finite Element Method (FEM) to find the appropriate combination of the configuration. The configuration is chosen by comparing between rectangular and arc-shaped permanent magnets and single-arrangement and dual-arrangement magnets. The performance is verified by a prototype.

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors(PMSMs) have a wider range of applications due to their high output density and high efficiency. PMSMs are used not only in high-power density, high-performance motor-driven systems such as vehicle and robots, but also in systems where cost-cutting is very important, such as washing machines, air conditioners and refrigerators. To reduce costs, position sensorless control is required, which is generally difficult to be used under conditions of starting the motor. Thus, the I-F speed control that rotates the current vector at any speed in the starting procedure should be used at first, and then the sensorless speed control could be applied after PMSM rotates above a certain speed. Speed control performance in I-F speed control and sensorless speed control is very important. And more speed control performance should be maintained even in the transient in which the two control techniques are changed. In this paper, the speed controller transition method from I-F speed control to sensorless speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motor is proposed. Experiments were carried out on the washing machine drive system to verify the performance of the proposed technique.

Although a lot of research and development has been conducted on the performance improvement of PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) water electrolysis, the research on durability is still in early stage. This study investigated effect of temperature on the water electrolysis durability when driving temperature of the PEM water electrolysis was increased to improve performance. Voltage change, I-V, CV (Cyclic Voltammetry), LSV (Linear Sweep Voltammetry), Impedance, and FER (Fluoride Emission Rate) were measured while driving under a constant current condition in a temperature range of 50~80 ℃. As the operating temperature increased, the degradation rate increased. At 50~65 ℃, the degradation of the IrO₂ electrocatalyst mainly affected the durability of the PEM water electrolysis cell. At 80 ℃, the polymer membrane and electrode degradation proceeded similarly, and the short resistance decreased to 1.0 kΩ·cm² or less, and the performance decreased to about 1/3 of the initial stage after 144 hours of operation due to the shorting phenomenon.

일반적으로 BLDC 모터는 고효율 고토크의 특성을 가지고, 넓은 속도 범위에 걸쳐 높은 효율을 유지 하고 제어가 용이하므로 널리 사용 되고 있다. 이러한 BLDC 모터는 구동 원리에 의해서 역기전력의 파형이 구형파를 가지는 것이 유리하다. 또한 BLAC 모터는 효율, 역률, 전력밀도 및 토크 밀도가 높은 장점을 가지고 정현파 역기전력을 요구한다. 매입형 영구자석형 동기전동기 중 할박 구조로 인해서 자속을 집중 시키는 Spoke type 모터의 회전자 표면은 철심으로 이루어져 있기 때문에 회전자 표면의 형상을 Arc설계를 통해서 형상 최적화가 가능하다. 회전자 표면의 Arc 설계를 통해서 공극의 자속밀도 분포의 변화를 줄 수 있어 BLDC 구동 시 요구하는 구형파 역기저력 파형과 BLAC 구동 시 요구되는 정현파 역기저력 파형을 Arc 설계 각도에 따라 다르게 발생 시킬 수 있다. 이를 통해서 역기전력을 형태를 구형파와 정현파 형태를 가지도록 설계하여 BLDC와 BLAC 구동 시에 성능을 FEA를 통해서 비교 평가 하여, 구동 방식에 따른 Spoke type IPM 모터의 형상 설계방법을 제시한다.

Underactuated prosthetic hands are relatively light and economical. In this work, an economical grasping force control system is proposed for underactuated prosthetic hands with adaptive grasp capability. The prosthetic hand is driven by a main cable based on a set of electromyography sensors on the forearm of a user. Part of the main cable tension related to grasping force is fed back to the user by a skin-mounted vibrator. The proper relationship between the grasping force and the vibrator drive voltage was established and prototype tests were performed on a group of users. Relatively accurate grasping force control was achieved with minimal training of users.
