In this paper, we study a series active power filter to compensate current harmonics and unbalanced source voltages. Conventional control methods for compensating unbalanced source voltages use source voltages to calculate compensation voltages, and in addition use load voltages to regulate load voltages. But the proposed control method uses load voltage to compensate unbalanced source voltages and regulate load voltages. And we propose a control method to reduce current harmonics which can calculate compensation voltages directly from source currents and load voltages. By well-matched operation of two control methods, the series active power filter can compensate current harmonics, unbalanced source voltages, and regulate load voltages. We compose a combined system of the series active power filter and parallel passive filters to confirm a validity of proposed control methods. The results from experiments are presented to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed method.

Plasma arc cutting is one of the most widely used processes in metal cutting fields and is a process that produces parted metal plates by cutting them with an arc plasma established between the electrode tip and the plate(workpiece). When the tip-to-workpiece distance varies during cutting, the cut quality, for example the kerf width, is deteriorated by the change of plasma arc. The variations of tip-to-workpiece distance are due to the different factors such as inaccuracies in setting the torch or workpiece, thermal distortions during cutting, and uneven surface of workpiece. The control to keep the tip-to-workpiece distance constant is thus indispensable to improve the flexibility of automatic plasma arc cutting system applications. In this study, an arc sensor which utilizes the electrical signal obtained from the plasma arc itself was developed. The arc sensor has an advantage that no particular sensing device is necessary and real-time sensing of the tip-to-workpiece distance is possible directly under the plasma arc. The relationship between plasma arc voltage and tip-to-workpiece distance was determined through the repeated experimental results. The model was used for developing an automatic tip-to-workpiece distance control system of plasma arc cutting. It could be shown that the proposed system has a successful capability of tip-to-workpiece distance control.

TiMoN 코팅층은 우수한 내마모 특성과 낮은 마찰계수를 보여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음극아크 증착으로 질소 가스 유량, 아크 전류, 기판 전압 등 공정 변수를 제어하여 TiMoN 코팅층을 스테인리스와 초경 기판 위에 제조하고 색상, 미세구조, 경도 등 물리적 특성을 평가하였다. TiMo 타겟은 Mo가 약 8 at.% 함유되어 있으며 직경은 80 mm이었다. 색차계를 이용하여 TiMoN 코팅층의 색상을 분석한 결과, 질소 유량이 증가할수록 $a^*$와 $b^*$ 값이 증가하는 경향을 확인하였다. 질소 유량 90 sccm으로 제조한 TiMoN 코팅층은 TiN 코팅층과 유사한 색상을 보였다. TiMoN 코팅층의 조성을 에너지분산형 분광기(energy dispersive spectroscopy)로 분석한 결과, 타겟과 유사한 조성을 보였다. TiMoN 코팅층의 단면을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과, 주상정 형성이 확인되었으며 코팅층 표면에는 음극 아크 공정 시 발생하는 거대입자가 발견되었다. 질소 유량 50 sccm으로 제조한 TiMoN 코팅층은 약 3000 Hv의 경도 값을 보였다. X-선 분광기로 TiMoN 코팅층의 결정성을 분석한 결과, TiN과 유사한 합금상이 형성된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. TiMoN 코팅층은 TiN과 유사한 색상을 보였으며 경도는 TiN보다 높은 값을 보여 절삭공구, 금속 가공용 부품 등 고경도 코팅층으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a method of the voltage-reactive power control in the long and short range operations and introduces a conception, "optimum control pattern." The optimum control pattern, aiming at the over-all system control, is defined as the optimum voltage distribution which minimizes the system operating cost under the conditions that the specified power be supplied and the system voltage be kept within the specified bounds. The following procedure was adopted to obtain this optimum pattern. In the first place, a power system was divided into three blocks, namely, load, substation and generator. Lagrange's, multiplier method is applied to each block in turn, paying attention only at the operating voltage distribution. Phase angles at each bus are then modified so that the continuity of active power is maintained. This procedure may be called "block relaxation method with Lagrange's multipliers." In a long range operation, this control pattern determines the optimum installation capacity of reactive power sources. In a short range operation, it also gives the reference state of real time control and the optimum switching capacity of reactive power souces. The real time control problem is also studied from the standpoint of cooperation of control devices such as generators, shunt capacitors, shunt reactors and ratio load controllers. A proposal for the real time control will contribute to the automation of power system operation in the near future. in the near future.
