Usually, large-sized buses and trucks have a very high load. In addition, frequent braking during downhill or long-distance driving, causes the conventional method using the brake friction to have a problem in safety because of brake fade and brake burst phenomenon. Auxiliary brakes dividing the braking load is essential. Hence, environment-friendly auxiliary brakes, such as contactless brake rather than the engine auxiliary brake system are needed. A study aimed at improving the energy efficiency by recharging electric energy with changing mechanical to electrical energy that occurs when braking is actively in progress. In this paper, the voltage control method is utilized to recover the electric energy generated in the electromagnetic retarder instead of the eddy current. To regenerate the braking energy into the electrical energy, the resonant L-C circuit is configured in the retarder. The voltage generated in the retarder is simply modeled as a transformer. However, retarder voltage control in this paper is simulated by modeling the induction generator because this induction generator modeling is more practical than transformer modeling. The changes in the voltage of the resonance circuit, which depends on the switch pulse duration of the control device, were analyzed. A PI controller algorithm to control this voltage is proposed. The feasibility of modeling retarder and voltage controller are shown by using MATLAB Simulink in this paper.

Among these satellites, low - orbit small satellites with military characteristics require multi - target observation, and demand for high-resolution photographs and images is increasing. Fast maneuverability is the most important factor for high-resolution images and multi - target observations. However, in the case of a small satellites, it is possible to perform the attitude maneuver if it has high speed, but the residual vibration occurs when the attitude maneuver is completed and the next attitude maneuver is completed. In this study, to verify the vibration characteristics of the plate generated after attitude maneuver, an experimental fixture for simulating the attitude maneuver was fabricated and tested. In addition, Eddy Current Damper (ECD) using Eddy Current Brake system (ECB) is proposed as a passive damping method using permanent magnet to reduce vibration. A mathematical model was established to apply ECD and it was experimentally implemented according to the magnetic flux density and the air gap of the permanent magnet. One plate of four solar panels (plate) was specified, the residual vibration reduction performance after the test was verified experimentally.

In the case of frequent braking, when driving downhill or long distance, conventional brakes using friction are problematic in braking safety due to brake rupture and fading phenomenon. Therefore auxiliary brakes is essential for heavy vehicles. And several research has been actively conducted to improve energy efficiency by regenerating mechanical energy into electric energy when the vehicles brake. In this paper, a voltage control method is utilized to recover the electric energy generated in the electromagnetic retarder instead of the eddy current. To regenerate the braking energy into the electrical energy, a resonant L-C circuit is configured in the retarder. The retarder can be modeled as self-excited induction generator due to its operating principle. The driving conditions according to the retarder's parameters are made into 3-D maps. Also, the voltage of the resonant circuit changing depending on the driving pulse applied to the FET was analyzed. For the control of this voltage, we proposed an algorithm using the PI controller. The controlled voltage is converted by a 3-phase AC/DC converter and then charged to a battery inside the heavy vehicles through a DC/DC converter. Electromagnetic retarder and its controller are validated using Matlab Simulink. We also demonstrate the voltage controller through the actual M-G set experiment.

This paper presents the performance and emissions characteristics of a small spark-ignited gasoline engine. The engine used in this paper is a single cylinder, diaphragm carburetor, two-stroke, air-cooled 26cc SI engine for brush cutter. For the performance of the engine, RPM, torque, and fuel consumption were measured and HC, CO, and NOx measured for the emissions according to the change of the dynamometer load at wide open throttle (WOT) position. The results showed that the excess air ratio decreased and torque increased with increasing loads, the torque and brake specific fuel consumption were the optimum driving condition at the 7000 rpm, HC and CO emissions increased with increasing loads and with an decrease in excess air ratio over 7000 rpm.

ECB(Eddy Current Brake)는 철도시스템의 고속에서 제동력을 안정적으로 나타낼 수 있어서 TGV, ICE, JR-500등과 같은 철도에서 사용되고 있다. 하지만 저속에서는 효율적이지 못하고, 전자석은 경량성에 대한 문제와 에너지를 소비한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이 논문에서는 제안된 영구자석형 Shield moving형 와전류 제동기를 사용하였다. 이 와전류 제동기는 Shield의 각을 이동하여 제동력을 조절할 수 있으며 영구자석을 이용함으로서 전자석의 단점을 보안하였다. 하지만 영구자석은 온도에 대해 영향을 받을 수 있으므로 온도 특성은 전류밀도(J(A/m2))와 자속밀도(T)를 'Ansoft Maxell'을 시뮬레이션하여 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 랜덤 수 발생 알고리즘인 LCG(Linear Congruential Generator)대신에 카오스 2중 텐트사상(Tent Mapping)에 의한 저 스위칭 소음 유도모터구동 시스템을 제안하였다. 2중 텐트사상에 의한 랜덤 수 발생을 위해 카오스 발생 영역인 $\lambda=0.99$에서의 2중 텐트사상의 분기도(Bifurcation Diagram)를 사용하였다. 카오스 랜덤수와 3상 기준 정현파는 80C196 마이크로 콘트롤러가 전담하고 있으며, 80C196으로부터 발생된 카오스 랜덤 수에 의하여 MAX038로부터 랜덤 주파수의 삼각파 캐리어가 발생된다. 기계적인 소음이 없는 ECB(Eddy current Brake)를 부하로 사용한 3상 유도모터 구동 장치를 제작하여 본 연구의 타당성을 입증하였다.
