BLDC 전동기는 AC서보 일종으로 스위칭 소자를 이용한 인버터 회로를 통해 정류하므로 정류 시 회전자의 위치 정보를 회전자에 홀 센서나 레졸버와 같은 위치 센서를 부착하여 위치 정보를 얻는다. 위치 센서는 전동기 가격 및 크기를 증가시키고 구조를 복잡하게 만들기에 위치 검출 센서 없이 구동하는 센서리스 구동 방법이 최근 많이 연구되고 있다. 센서리스 구동 방법에 가장 많이 쓰는 방법이 역기전력을 이용하는 것이다. 역기전력을 이용하는 경우 전동기가 고속으로 회전 시 비교적 잘 적용되지만 정지 상태에 있거나 저속에서 운전 시, 역기전력이 충분히 크지 않을 경우 적용이 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 BLDC 전동기의 3상 중 2상의 단자전압을 이용하여 센서리스 구동 방법을 제안한다. 정지 상태에서의 회전자 위치 파악은 DC링크 단에 전류 센서를 사용하여 초기 위치를 파악하고 한상의 단자전압을 검출하여 각 상의 여자 시점을 결정하여 초기 구동함으로써 기존의 다른 센서리스 회로의 간략화와 효율적이고 구현이 간단하며 무엇보다 가격전인 측면에서 여타의 방법에 비해 유리하다.

To improve the current waveform of diode rectifiers, we propose a new operating principle for the voltage -doubler diode rectifiers. In the conventional voltage-doubler rectifier circuit, relatively large capacitors are used to boost the output voltage, while the proposed circuit uses smaller ones and a small reactor not to boost the output voltage but improve the input current waveform. A high input power factor of 97[%] and an efficiency of 98[%] are also obtained. The harmonic guide lines of proposed rectifier is no interfered with inverter switching, resulting in a simple, reliable and low-cost ac-to dc converters in comparison with the boost-type current-improving circuits.It compared conventional pulse-widthmodulated(PWM)inverter with half pulse-widthmodulated (HPWM) inverter. Proposed HPWM inverter eliminated dead-time by lowering switchingloss and holding over-shooting.

The powers used in the motor drive system are mostly DC sources like batteries. Even AC powers in some systems are generated from DC sources by the inverter. It is can be forecasted that the DC-link communications will be widely used in various industrial fields. In this paper a novel BLDC motor drive system using DC-link communications is proposed. The characteristic of this system Is that the communication only needs 2 DC lines. There are not additional lines to translate the reference signals. And the reliability o3 the system is ensured especially under some terrible circumstances. The number of lines can be minimized when the DC-link communication method is applied in the multi motor control system and the slip ring design also can be simplified when this method is applied in rotation machines. The proposed motor system is clarified by the PSIM and MATLAB simulations and tested through the hardware prototype.

In this paper a novel line interactive UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) using the two 4-leg VSCs and AC line reactor is proposed. The 4-leg Voltage Source Converter(VSC) can use the DC link voltage effectively by the 3-D SVPWM method. Hence the DC battery voltage can be reduced by $15\%$ in comparison to that of the conventional line-interactive UPS system. One VSC is in parallel with the AC line reactor of the power source side, and the other is in series with the load. The parallel 4-leg voltage source inverter controls three-phase line voltage independently in order to control the line reactor current indirectly. It eliminates the neutral line current and the active ripple power of the source side using the pqr theory so that unity power factor and the sinusoidal source current can be achieved even though both the source and the load voltages have zero sequence components. The series 4-leg voltage source inverter compensates the line voltage and allows the load voltage to be balanced and harmonic-free. Both of parallel and series 4-leg voltage source inverters always act as independently controllable voltage sources, so that three-phase output voltage shows a seamless transition to the backup mode. The feasibility of the proposed UPS system has been investigated and verified through computer simulation results.

기존의 철도차량용 무선전력전송 시스템은 Medium-voltage (MV) 60 Hz 중전압 AC 계통 전압을 Low-voltage (LV) DC로 변환하기 위해 저주파 변압기와 정류기를 사용한다. 하지만 수 MW급의 대전력을 낮은 DC 전압으로 전송하려면 인버터는 수백 A - 수 천 A 이상의 전류용량을 가져야하므로 정류기의 출력 단에 직렬 또는 병렬로 연결된 여러 개의 고주파 변압기를 필요하게 된다 (그림 1참조). 이러한 저주파 변압기, 정류기 및 고주파 변압기는 크고 무거우므로 낮은 전력밀도 및 높은 시스템 가격의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 저주파변압기, 정류기, 고주파 변압기를 사용하지 않는, 여자 코일을 이용한 새로운 멀티레벨 무선전력전송 시스템의 토폴로지를 제안한다. 제안된 멀티레벨 무선전력전송 시스템은 멀티레벨 인버터의 각 출력 단에 여자코일 (excitation coil) 이 연결되어 있다. 이 여자코일들은 급전코일 (transmitter coil) 에 전기적으로는 절연되었지만 자기적으로 강하게 결합된다. 여자코일들이 발생시킨 자기장은 급전코일에 유도전압을 발생시키고, 급전코일에서 수백 A 이상의 큰 전류를 흐르게 하여 급전코일에서 강한 자기장을 발생하도록 한다. 이 자기장은 급전코일과 수 cm 이상 떨어져 자기적으로 약하게 결합된 집전코일 (receiver coil) 에 다시 유도전압을 발생시켜 전력을 전달하게 된다. 제안한 새로운 멀티레벨 무선 전력 전송 시스템은 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증했다.

Generally, the average phase current is sampled at the midpoint of a PWM signal for the vector control of an AC motor. The three-phase current can also be reconstructed from a DC-link shunt resistor by sampling the shunt voltage during the active vectors of the SVPWM. However, the reconstructed current is different from the average current because of the deviation of the sampling point from the midpoint of the PWM signal. This paper proposes an algorithm to estimate the average current from the reconstructed current in a single-shunt inverter. The proposed method is derived from the phase current slopes based on switching states and corresponding switching time. In addition, the proposed method is generalized for all the six sectors of the space vector hexagon. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified with simulations and experiments.

This paper addresses an improved naval combat UPS(Uninterruptable Power Supply) system under abnormal transients. Previously, thermistor and varistor elements were used to cope with transient overvoltage and overcurrent, however the UPS was frequently unavailable because it was vulnerable to abnormal transient voltage generated during system operation. In order to overcome this problem and protect UPS system, this paper proposes an input power cut-off circuit that detects the initial input power and abnormal transient voltage generated during operation, improvement of power control sequence, and a method to prevent malfunction of an inverter and CPU. The UPS system implementing the proposed method was simulated by input power variable test using programmable AC/DC generator, and finally validated its reliability and stability through field tests by mounting on multifunctional console of naval combat system.

In this paper the design of a 1-[KVA] fuel cell powered line-interactive UPS system employing modular (fuel cell & DC/DC converter) blocks is proposed. The proposed system employs the two fuel cell modules along with suitable DC/DC converters and these modules share the DC-Link of the DC/AC inverter. A supercapacitor module is also employed to compensate for the instantaneous power fluctuations and to overcome the slow dynamics of the fuel processor. The energy stored in the supercapacitor can also be utilized to handle the overload conditions for a short time period. Due to the absence of batteries, the system satisfies the demand for an environmentally friendly and dean source of the energy. A complete design example illustrating the amount of hydrogen storage required for 1hr power outage, and sizing of supercacpacitor for transient load demand is presented for a 1-[KVA] UPS.

Many applications involving induction motors that are controlled using variable frequency drives require the ability to stop quickly. These applications include emergency stops, quick stopping of fans, centrifuges, presses, etc. The technique that is widely accepted in the industry for achieving quick stopping makes use of brake resistors in series with a power semiconductor switch. The switch-resistor combination (brake-unit) is applied across the dc bus. The fastest decelerating time achievable depends on the size of the resistors and the switch employed. In this paper, the authors propose a novel method of achieving quick stopping times without the use of any brake-unit. Experimental test results with and without this method on a large inertia motor-load combination show that the proposed stopping method is able to reduce the stopping time significantly compared to normal decelerated stop without the need for a braking unit.
