This paper introduces the combined test results of the traction system for KHST(Korean High Speed Train: hereafter refer to KHST). The main purpose of this combined test is to verify the performance of the traction system that is designed to operate up to maximum 350km/h speed. Combined test system consists of a traction transformer, two AC-DC PWM converters, a PWM Inverter, two traction motors and flywheel system. Flywheel system represents equivalent model of the train inertia. Also traction control system and MASCON Interfaces are included. Various kinds of experiments are performed to prove total traction system performance and detail waveforms are described

This paper investigates analytical models of Conduction and Switching Losses (CASLs) of a matrix-Z-source converter (MZC). Two analytical models of the CASLs are obtained through the examination of operating principles for a Z-source inverter and ac-dc matrix converter respectively. Based on the two models, the analytical model of CASLs for a MZC is constructed and visualized over a range of exemplified operating- points, each of which is defined by the combination of power factor (pt) and modulation index (M). The model provides a measurable way to approximate the total losses of the MZC.

This paper is intended as an investigation of the interface between Neutral section insulators and pantograph interface. Neutral section insulators are installed at the boundary between AC catenary system and DC catenary system, which should provide electrical insolation between two different catenary systems and pass the trains without interruption. As the number of the pantographs installed on the train increased, which is necessary for the VVVF inverter drive trains introduced in recent years, there occurs an serious aspects of the interaction between pantographs and Neutral section insulators. These effects hinder the automatic switch operation of MCB(Main Circuit Breaker) after passing through the section insulators, and lead to the extra-ordinary wear of FRP insulator material of section insulators. Countermeasures in terms of the interface between the Neutral secton insulators and electric collection system of train are provided too.

In this paper, the performance analysis of a control topology based on the direct output power control (DPC) for robust and inexpensive permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance generator (PMa-SynRG) system is presented. The PMa-SynRG might be coupled to an internal combustion engine running at variable speed. A three-phase PWM rectifier rectifies the generator output and supplies the dc link. A single-phase PWM inverter supplies constant ac voltage at constant frequency to the grid. The overall control algorithm is implemented on a TMS320F2812 digital signal processor board. Simulations results and experimental results verify the operation of the proposed system.

In this paper, the control algorithm of DC source device for inverter starting is proposed and the control method for compensating unbalance system source on operating time in the voltage type PWM converter with driving and regenerative faculty is suggested. The maintaining way of balancing condition for converter of AC source is used the compensating unbalanced status by current control loop. Because it is possible that the unbalanced System control is used to leakage transformer not equaled reactance by each phase in rectifier system, the proposed H/W and control algorithm of rectifier system is contributed to minimize of device and rising efficiency.

In this paper, the 2-level and 3-level types of PWM technique have been analyzed, and a multiprocessor has been designed as controller for these two types of PWM inverters. Designed multiprocessor employing a hierarchical structure of a SUPERVISORY PROCESSOR which interconnects three LOCAL PROCESSOR through a common memory technique has showed as elaborate digital control characteristic. Using this multiprocessor configuration the system could gain a great degree of freedom in change of software. Also software was simpler than a single processor configuration.

This paper covers switched reluctance generator (SRG) and its comparison with induction and synchronous machines for distributed generation. The SRG is simple in design, robust in construction, and fault tolerant in operation; it can also withstand very high temperatures. However, the performance and cost of the SRG power electronics driver are highly affected by the topology and design of the converter. IGBT and MOSFET based converters are not suitable for very high power applications. This paper presents thyristor-based resonant converters which are superior candidates for very high power applications. Operations of the converters are analyzed and their characteristics and dynamics are determined in terms of the system parameters. The resonant converters are capable of handling high currents and voltages; these converters are highly efficient and reliable as well. Therefore, they are suitable for high power applications in the range of 1MW or larger for distributed generation.

Induction Motor is important at tilting train. Tiling train induction motor should be operated to commercial servicespeed 180km/h at Korea Conventional Line upgrade railroad. As the induction motors are without commutators, maintenance is easy and it is far lighter than the conventional motors with the same capacity. The induction motor, however, posed problems in use as its motor torque is not large enough compared with DC motors. With the recent advances in power semiconductors, it is possible to apply the induction motors to trains by applying VVVF inverter control method to the traction motor. In this study, we realize the stable measurement AC motor temperature characteristic of TTX train.

Recent environmental pollutions have intensified the need to develop zero emission vehicles. The most effect method of such solutions is EV. EV is high energy efficiency, easy to maintain, repair and is possible to make high performance control. However, because energy density of batteries is constrained and the distance covered one charge is short range. Also because EV has disadvantage of poor accelation ability, development of high performance battery is required for large scale use of EV. EV charger analogous to gas apparatus must also be developed immediately. Charger is discriminate between on-vehicle type and off-vehicle type. As off-vehicle type is able to charge fast and safe, inductive charging is considered. This paper aims to develope off-vehicle inductive charging system. Therefore, it achieved power factor correction converter, high frequency DC/AC inverter control algorithm development which gives proof validity through simulation and formulated the basic concept of high frequency transformer design for inductive charging.

본 논문에서는 교류 전동기 구동 시스템에서 인버터의 입력전력 추정 기법을 제안하였다. 인버터의 입력전력 정보를 얻기 위해서는 DC link 전압 센서 및 입력전류 센서와 같은 측정 장치가 요구되는데, 전동기의 상전류 정보 및 인버터의 스위칭 패턴을 이용하면 입력전류 센서를 사용하지 않고 인버터의 입력전력을 추정할 수 있다. 1kW SPMSM(Surface mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) 구동 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 입력전력 추정 기법의 유효성을 확인하였다.
