A torque ripple reduction technique of direct torque control(DTC) for high power induction motors driven by 3-level inverters with the inverter switching frequency limited around 0.5-1.0kHz level is presented. It is noted that conventional DTC algorithms to reduce torque ripple are devised for applications with relatively high switching frequency above 2-3kHz. Such conventional algorithms can not accomplish satisfactory torque ripple reduction for 3-level inverter systems with lower switching frequency. A new DTC algorithm, especially for low switching frequency inverter system, illustrates relatively reduced torque ripple characteristics all over the operating speed region. Simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.

In this paper, an efficient switching pattern to equalize the size of transformer is proposed for a multi-level inverter employing cascaded transformers. It is based on the prior selected harmonic elimination PWM(SHEPWM) method. Because the maximum magnetic flux imposed on each transformer becomes exactly equal each to each, all transformers can be designed with the same size regardless of their position. Therefore, identical full-bridge inverter units can be utilized, thus improving modularity and manufacturability. The fundamental idea of the proposed switching pattern is illustrated and then analyzed theoretically. The validity of the proposed switching strategy is verified by experimental results.

This paper presents an DTC-PWM (Direct Torque Control-Pulse Width Modulation) of PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor). The proposed DTC-PWM method combines a conventional DTC and PWM approach for switching signal generation. The actual torque is estimated by the torque estimator in conventional method, but the switching signal is generated by PWM method according to the switching rules and torque error. A effective voltage vector and zero vector are used to generate the switching signals and asymmetric switching method is applied. A simple calculation of PWM without any complex determination of space vector can assure the constant switching frequency with an constant torque and flux. The proposed torque control scheme for PMSM is verified by experimental results.

This paper deals with a new design methodology for a switching-type fuzzy-model-based controller in continuous and discrete-time system. Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model is employed to design the switching-type fuzzy-model-based controller. A switching-type fuzzy-model-based controller is constructed based on the spirit of “divide and conquer”. The global system which has several rules in divided into several subsystems and then, a solution is found at each subsystem. The global solution is determined by a conjunction of the solutions of each subsystem. The design conditions are formulated in terns of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which guarantee the stabilization of a given TS fuzzy system. Simulation examples are included for ensuring the proposed control method.

This paper is analyzed for a step up-down DC/DC chopper of high efficiency added electric isolation. The converters of high efficiency are generally made that the power loss of the used semiconductor switching devices is minimized. To achieve high efficiency system, the proposed chopper is constructed by using a partial resonant circuit. The control switches using in the chopper are operated with soft switching by partial resonant method. The control switches are operated without increasing their voltage and current stresses by the soft switching technology. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of the chopper is high. The proposed chopper is also added electric isolation which is used a pulse transformer. When the power conversion system is required electric isolation, the proposed chopper is adopted with the converter system development of high efficiency. The soft switching operation and the system efficiency of the proposed chopper are verified by digital simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, a high-performance fault-tolerant switching network using a deflection self-routing was proposed. From an abstract algebraic analysis of the topological properties of the Delta network, which is a baseline switching network, we derive the Multidimensional Ring-Delta network: a multipath switching network using a deflection self-routing algorithm. All of the links including already existing links of the Delta network are used to provide the alternate paths detouring faulty/congested links. We ran a simulation analysis under the traffic loads having the non-uniform address distributions that are usual in Internet. The throughput of $1024\;{\times}\;1024$ switching network proposed is better than that of the 2D ring-Banyan network by 13.3 %, when the input traffic load is 1.0 and the hot ratio is 0.9. The reliability of $64\;{\times}\;64$ switching network proposed is better than that of the 2D ring-Banyan network by 46.6%.

More advanced and demanding applications, like videoconferencing, video on demand. distributed computing etc., have been devised thanks to the availability of enhanced network feature. Network technologies need to be enhanced to support these applications and to cope with the increasing number of users. Increasing the availability of network resources is just not enough to achieve this goal; scalable network architecture. increased packet forwarding capabilities, a wider range of services are all additional requirements. MOLS (multiprotocol label Switching) is one of the new networking techniques under standardization in the scientific community. In this paper, we analyze the performance of label switching in ATM networks. Simulation tests were performed. In this simulation, we set a simple network configuration and used internet traffic traces from NLANR as input traffic sources. The simulation results and analysis will be helpful in utilizing the functions of ATM switching and IP routing.

In this paper, a new algorithm based on sensitivity method for alleviating overloads in power networks is presented to find the switching branches effectively. By applying the new sensitivity of the line flow with respect to the change of the branch impedance, both on and off switchings for alleviating overloads in power networks are performed systematically at once and an effective scheme for drawing up a plan to alleviate overloads of the lines is presented through screening a large number of line switching cases easily. The ranking of switching branches is calculated according to the new switching algorithm based on sensitivity method and the switching of the ranked branches is performed in the order of ranking until overloads are eliminated. In order to show the effects of this algorithm, it is applied to a small scale power system of IEEE 39-bus test system.

Thanks to Dynamic Capacitance Control (DCC) technique, response time of an LCD display has greatly improved. However, DCC requires hi-speed memory for the real-time writing/reading of an image of a previous frame, which results in increases in hardware overhead and cost. In this paper, we propose Modified Exponential Golomb (MEG) coding, a low-complex high-speed image compression method, which can remarkably reduce memory requirement for DCC. We also propose a pixel-wise DCC switching technique to prevent a compression error from affecting the quality of a final image on LCD. In our experiment, the degradation in visual quality was not noticeable when we cut the DCC memory size of 1080i HD data by 1/3.
