Quad-rotor is one kind of a rotorcraft in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which consists of four rotors in total and fixed-pitch blades located at the four corners. This vehicle is emerging as popular platform for UAV research due to the simplicity of its construction, the ability of hovering and the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability, etc. Because of those specific capabilities, this vehicle can be applied to many fields: search and rescue, mobile sensor networks, fire observation, etc. However a quad-rotor is much affected by the disturbance due to the characteristics of structure. So this vehicle needs attitude control for stabilizing. In this paper, we design the control law for automatic stabilization. The PID controller is used to control a brushless DC motor. And an accelerometer is used to measure the roll and pitch angles of a quad-rotor.

Even though 30inch optical telescope at Kyung Hee Astronomy Observatory has been used to produce a series of scientific achievements since its first light in 1992, numerous difficulties in operating of the telescope have hindered the precise observations needed for further researches. Since the currently used PC-TCS(Personal Computer based Telescope Control System) software based on ISA-bus type is outdated, it doesn't have a user friendly interface and make it impossible to scale. Also accumulated errors which are generated by discordance from input and output signals into a motion controller required new control system. Thus we have improved the telescope control system by updating software and modifying mechanical parts. We applied a new BLDC(brushless DC) servo motor system to the mechanical parts of the telescope and developed a control software using Visual Basic6.0. As a result, we could achieve a high accuracy in controlling of the telescope and use the user friendly GUI(Graphic User Interface).

This paper deals with decentralized control scheme and its application to multi-machine power systems. Decentralized control scheme has several practical advantages, because power system has geographically distributed characteristics. In this paper, decentralized observer-based optimal Power System Stabilizer(PSS) and Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor(TCST) controller are designed and tested in WSCC 9 bus system with one TCSC installed. Simulation results show that the proposed decentralized controller has satisfactory performances comparable to the centralized controller. In addition, using modal analysis, this paper shows that the proposed decentralized controller significantly affects only one pair of eigenvalues which have high participation with each generator, while slightly affects other eigenvalues. This result indicates that the application of the decentralized control scheme to enhance power system dynamic stability via excitation control have potential advantages because each low-damped mode occurs dominantly by each decentralized subsystem.

In this paper, a new control scheme to use 6-switch IGBI module for 3-phase switched reluctance motors(SRM) is proposed. Compared with the conventional asymmetric bridge converter topology, it can minimize the entire system size and cost. Therefore, it may have a new topology lot SRM to compare the other ac motors, such as induction motors, brushless dc motors, and so on. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation, and experimental results.

최근의 선박 추진시스템은 기존의 엔진, 터빈 둥의 구동 원에서 선박의 발전기로부터 선체 외부의 프로펠러와 일체형으로 구성된 모터를 구동하여 추진하는 전기추진식으로 변화되고 있다. 특히, 히토류계 영구자석재질의 발달로 인하여 대형선박의 추진을 위한 대용량 자석계자형 BLDC와 영구자석형 동기전동기의 설계 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 여전히 MW급 대용량 BLDC 추진전동기의 설계 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 5MW급 대용량 BLDC 추진전동기 설계 연구를 진행하였으며, 그 결과 슬롯 수에 의한 고정자 형상이 다른 3가지 타입의 인버터 내장형 MW급 모델을 설계하였다. 그리고 이들 모델들을 정자계 유한요소법을 이용하여 해석함으로써 고정자 형상에 따른 회전특성을 분석하였고, 이를 바탕으로 본 설계 조건에 적합한 고정자 형상 설계 방향을 제시하였다.

최근 산업기기의 대형화로 인하여 전기기기 및 전력기기의 고효율 대용량 설계에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 그 동안에는 대용량 전동기로 주로 유도전동기와 릴럭턴스 전동기가 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 유도전동기는 저속에서의 효율이 낮으며 회전자의 열손실이 효율과 역률을 저하시키는 단점이 있고, 릴럭턴스 전동기는 구조 및 동작원리 상 큰 맥동토크로 인하여 소음과 진동이 매우 크다. 이에 효율과 역률이 좋고 고속운전이 가능한 영구자석형 전동기에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되었고 최근에는 영구자석 재질(희토류계)의 발달함로 인하여 고속 대용량 자석계자형 BLDC와 영구자석형 동기전동기의 설계가 가능해져 대형기에 많이 이용되고 있다. 그러나 대용량 전기기기의 경우 그 크기와 부피가 매우 크고 대전류 대전압의 전원을 공급하여야 하기 때문에 인버터부를 병렬 연결하여야 하므로 제어부를 포함한 전동기의 설치 공간이 증가해 지는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인버터를 전동기의 회전자 내부에 배치한 인버터 내부형 5[MW]급 BLDC 전동기를 설계하고자 하였다.

Hall sensors of BLDC(brushless DC) motor are used to detect a position information for a control mechanism, which implements an algorithm for velocity and position control. Actual azimuth and altitude were measured to evaluate a control precision. The measurement revealed comparatively good accuracy that the measured values were $2.02^{\circ}$ and $1.01^{\circ}$ respectively, and the maximum error falls within $1.86^{\circ}$. The developed monitoring system of photovoltaic generation plants is a LCU(Local Control Unit) based on an integrated monitoring system which supports 1:N method for multiple simultaneous connections, remote control and real-time system state monitoring.

In the control actuator system of a launch vehicle based on thrust vectoring, the interaction between electro-mechanical position servo and inertial load are combined with the dynamic characteristics of the flexible vehicle support to generate synthetic resonance. This occurred resonance is fed back to the attitude control system and can influence stability of launch vehicle. In this study, we proposed a simulation model to analyze synthetic resonance of electro-mechanical actuation system for thrust vector control and explained the results of simulation and test using dynamic force feedback control which improves dynamic characteristics of servo actuation system by reducing synthetic resonance.
