In this paper, a stand-alone wound rotor induction generator system is proposed and its steady state characteristics are analyzed. It is shown that the self-excitation of the system can be acheined by exciting the rotor through the PWM inverter. The analysis is based upon the eguivalent circuit and the steady state dq model of the mahine. The results show that the proposed system can be made to generate constant voltage constant frequency power for various speed and load conditions.

Due to the high peripheral speed of the rotor and the relatively high conductivity of the magnets used, rotor eddy current loss can be substantial. On the basis of the coupled FEM and analytical method, this paper deals with the rotor loss analysis in permanent magnet high-speed machine with 3-phase rectifier.

As a fundamental investigation to develop a sensor which is able to detect shorted turn phenomenon of generator rotor, we have experimented with self-made sensor using flux generator and high-resolution oscilloscope. We have recorded sensor-induced voltage according to the different condition, such as variations of turn, diameter and length of sensor. Based on the acquired data, we analyzed and simulated under similar circumstances of actual spot to maximize reliability. We have a plan to invest more resources to supply power plants with the developed sensor for ourselves.

Wind energy is currently the fastest growing source of renewable energy used for electrical generation around the world. Wind farms are adding a significant amount of electrical generation capacity. The increase in the number of wind farms has led to the need for more effective operation and maintenance. CMS(Condition Monitoring System) can be used to aid plant operator in achieving these goals. Its aim is to provide operators with information regarding th e health of their machine, which in turn, can help them improve operation efficiency. In this work, wind turbine fault diagnostic algorithm which can diagnose the mass unbalance and aerodynamic asymmetry of the blades is proposed. Proposed diagnostic algorithm utilizes both FFT(Fast Feurier Transform) of the signal from accelerometers installed inside of nacelle and simple diagnostic logic. Furthermore, to verify the applicability of the proposed system, 3W small sized wind turbine system is tested and physical experiments are carried out.

Experiments on mechanical fatigue were conducted using the specimens which were cut from hydrogen cooled generator(rated 22kV and 50OMW) stator windings. We have investigated the aged mechanism of mica/epoxy insulation systems under air or hydrogen by both the tensile and compressive loadings. The fracture of generator stator windings is generally affected by mechanical stress. Thus, the tensile strength test were conducted. In this case, the maximum strength and strain are quite different between sound and aged specimens. It is observed that low bonded interface parts of tapes generally have lower strength than those of normal tapes which causes stress. In order to estimate the effects of cyclic load by the electromagnetic forces while the generator starts/stops, the mechanical fatigue test was also conducted. It is confirmed that the equation of expected life depends on stress amplitude and number of cycles. Though the stress amplitude and number of cycles are very tiny, the tensile fatigue of aged specimens under hydrogen atmosphere is bigger than those under air. In the case of hydrogen atmosphere, the tensile stress gives bigger effect than the compressive one.

Rotor position is essentially required for vector control of permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG) and position sensor such as encoder are generally used for the purpose of position sensing. However, the use of position sensor degrades reliability of PMSG control system. This paper presents position sensor fault tolerant control method for PMSG control system. Sensorless position estimator based on extended electromotive force(EMF) is operated in parallel with sensored vector control to provide rapid reconfiguration capability to sensorless vector control at the moment of position sensor fault detection. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

일반적으로 대형 버스 및 트럭 등 같은 경우, 부하가 아주 크다. 또한 내리막길이나 장거리 운행 시에 잦은 제동으로 인하여 마찰을 이용한 기존 방식의 브레이크들은 브레이크 파열 및 페이드 현상 때문에 제동 안전성에 문제가 있다. 이러한 제동 부담을 분담하기 위해 현재 보조브레이크(리타더)가 필수적이며, 엔진 계통의 보조브레이크가 아닌 비접촉식 브레이크 같은 친환경 보조브레이크가 요구되고 있다. 그리고 차량 제동시 발생하는 기계에너지를 전기에너지로 회생하여 에너지효율을 향상시키려는 연구가 현재 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 와전류를 이용한 전자기형 리타더에서 발생되는 전기에너지를 회수하기 위한 전압 제어 방법을 다룰 것이다. 리타더의 제동에너지를 전기에너지로 회생하기 위해 L-C 공진회로로 구성하였다. 리타더를 자여자 유도발전기(Self-Excited Induction Generator)로 모델링 하였고 이를 토대로 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 진행하였다. 자여자 유도발전기의 구동 조건에 대해서 언급하고 이를 파라미터에 따라 3-D map으로 만들었다. 또 회로 중의 FET 게이트에 전압을 인가하는 제어장치의 구동펄스에 따라 바뀌는 공진회로의 전압을 분석하였으며, 이 전압을 제어하기 위하여 PI 제어기를 이용한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 전압을 3상 AC/DC컨버터를 통과한 후 DC/DC컨버터를 통하여 차량 내부의 배터리에 충전되는데 제어를 위해 3상 AC/DC에서의 전압 리플을 MA(Moving Average) 방식의 필터를 사용하여 DC/DC컨버터의 입력에 맞도록 제어하였다. 이와 같이 전자기형 리타더에서 유도되는 전압을 제어기의 제어 펄스에 따라 제어할 수 있으며 Matlab Simulink를 이용하여 리타더의 모델과 그 제어기의 타당성을 보였다. 또 실제 M-G Set 실험을 통하여 그 연관성을 확인하였다.

As an emerging power generation technology, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have received increasing attention due to their boundless promise in energy harvesting and self-powered sensing applications. The recent rise of soft robotics has sparked widespread enthusiasm for developing flexible and soft sensors and actuators. TENGs have been regarded as promising power sources for driving actuators and self-powered sensors, providing a unique approach for the development of soft robots with soft sensors and actuators. In this review, TENG-based soft robots with different morphologies and different functions are introduced. Among them, the design of biomimetic soft robots that imitate the structure, surface morphology, material properties, and sensing/generating mechanisms of nature has greatly benefited in improving the performance of TENGs. In addition, various bionic soft robots have been well improved compared to previous driving methods due to the simple structure, self-powering characteristics, and tunable output of TENGs. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive review of various studies within specific areas of TENG-enabled soft robotics applications. We first explore various recently developed TENG-based soft robots and a comparative analysis of various device structures, surface morphologies, and nature-inspired materials, and the resulting improvements in TENG performance. Various ubiquitous sensing principles and generation mechanisms used in nature and their analogous artificial TENG designs are demonstrated. Finally, biomimetic applications of TENG enabled in tactile displays as well as in wearable devices, artificial electronic skin and other devices are discussed. System designs, challenges and prospects of TENGs-based sensing and actuation devices in the practical application of soft robotics are analyzed.
