Inverters are widely used in distributed power generation and other applications. However, their lack of inertia and variable impedance may cause system instability and power transfer inaccuracy. This paper proposes a control scheme for a single phase voltage-controlled inverter with some grid-friendly characteristics. The proposed control algorithm enables the inverter to function as a voltage source with an inner output impedance in both the islanded and grid-connected modes. Virtual inertia and rotor equations are embedded in the PLL part. Thus, the frequency stability can remain. The inner output impedance can be adjusted freely, which helps to accurately decouple and transmit the output active and reactive power. The proposed inverter operates like a traditional synchronous generator. Simulations and experiments are designed and carried out to verify the proposed control strategy.

The paper presents how to update impedance control parameters for dual-arm manipulators using EMG signals and motions of the operator. Since the hand motions of the dual-arm are modeled to be the mass-spring-damper system in this paper, the impedance parameter update method is an important issue to reflect the operator's force. However, task space inertia to be used as the mass parameter goes to infinity if the manipulator approaches a kinematic singularity. To alleviate this issue, the impedance (stiffness and damping) parameters are divided with a diagonal element of the task space inertia. Also, the stiffness and damping matrices are updated using the normalized EMG signals captured from the operator's forearm. Through this process, the motion of the dual-arm manipulator is more stabilized even though it approaches the kinematic singularity.

This paper presents the optimal design for reducing the rotor inertia in order to improve the driving characteristic of BLDC motor for robots. The parallel Genetic Algorithm is performed to rotor inertia minimization in optimal design. Also, velocity profile with finite jerk method is introduced to reduce vibration of BLDC motor. As a result, a torque characteristic is same although rotor inertia is reduced to 2/3 compared with prototype model. And, maximum vibration value is reduced by 63.4[$\%$] according to the application of finite .jerk method.

The virtual inertia control (VIC) of wind turbine with directly-driven permanent-magnet synchronous generator (D-PMSG) can act similarly to the conventional synchronous generator in inertia response and frequency control, thereby supporting the system frequency stability. However, because the wind speed is inconstant and changeable to a certain extent and the D-PMSG is a complex nonlinear system, there are great difficulties in the virtual inertia optimal control of the D-PMSG. Based on the design principle of the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC), this paper presents a new VIC strategy for the D-PMSG from the perspective of power disturbance suppression in the system. The strategy helps fulfill the power grid disturbance estimation and compensation by means of the extended state observer (ESO) so as to improve the disturbance-resisting performance of the system. Compared with conventional proportional-derivative virtual inertia control (PDVIC), this method, which is of better adaptability and robustness, can not only improve the property of the D-PMSG responding to the system frequency but also reduce the influence of wind speed disturbance. The simulation and experiment results have verified the effectiveness and feasibility of the VIC based on the ADRC.

This paper presents the simulator system of high-speed elevator system, which can be implemented as 3-mass system as well as equivalent 1-mass system. In order to implement the equivalent inertia of total elevator system, conventional simulator has generally utilized mechanical inertia (flywheel) with large radius, which makes the size and weight of total simulator system large. In addition, the mechanical inertia should be replaced each time in order to test the another elevator system. In this paper, the simulation method using electrical inertia is presented so that the volume and weight of simulator system are greatly reduced and the adjustment of value of the inertia can be achieved easily by software. Experimental results show the feasibility of this simulator system.

Using the gyro effect, Balance Beam Controller is developed with Samsung Corporation. Balance Beam Controller is possible to control the position of an object in air by controlling the attitude of inner gimbal. But in the unknown load inertia case, even a skilled worker it is not easy to operate a Balance Beam. That is caused by the difficulty to estimate the load inertia. If the amount of the gimbal operation is set excessively with a wrong load estimation, it can often cause accidents. To solve this problem, the control function which is revolving with velocity of the revolution has to be added to developed equipment. In this research, we analyze the characteristics of a Balance Beam(the smaller load inertia, the bigger force of restitution) using the angular velocity sensor, and present constant velocity revolving controller with estimating value of the load using this moving characteristics.

A railroad vehicle(Light weight electric rail car, Urban railroad, High-speed railroad) need to construct propulsion- system capacity experiment equipment to test performance or to estimate confidence. Experiment equipment in interior have been used Flywheel which is equal to the same inertia as railroad straight moment. But mechanical inertia using flywheel don't change inertia and can't embody traveling-struggle which is similar to actual traveling-struggle. We propose the method to embody electric railroad load system with inertia using electric servo motor in order to get the characteristic of real vehicle load, and confirm this algorithm with simulation and experiment.

In order to recover the power system during the wide power outage or power failure in the power plant, black start system should be properly operated without any problem. Especially power for black start in the geographically isolated areas of electric island is supplied from small emergency start-up generator, and loads are aux systems of gas turbines such as SFC(Static frequency converter). This paper introduces the international practices to overcome the voltage drop problem with harmonics of the system having the DC output such as SFC during black start in weak feed system and analyzes the relationship between house load inputs and harmonics. By varying the house load and input of power supply, this paper identified boundaries between weak feed and strong feed power. In order to verify the theory of stable condition in weak feed power system with DC output, house load is simulated using ETAP. Additionally MATLAB was used for harmonic analysis between the load inertia moment and non load inertia moment.

Brushless DC motors applied in many control systems because of the good respose characteristic and the easy control characteristic. The speed control of the BLDC motors is important in the systems. This paper has designed PSO-PID speed controller for the speed control of BLDC motors. The PSO algorithm optimized the parameters of the PID controller in the PSO-PID speed controller. The several methods obtained the optimal inertia weight of the PSO algorithm by comparison. The optimal inertia weight of the PSO algorithm optimized the PSO-PID speed controller for BLDC motors. This paper confirmed the performance of proposed PSO-PID speed controller through simulation results.

This paper is concerned with speed tracking control problem for permanent-magnet synchronous drives (PMSM) in the presence of an variable load torque and unknown model parameters. The disturbance of speed control caused by inaccuracy of model parameters has been investigated. A load torque observer has been proposed to observe the load torque and estimate the disturbance caused by inaccuracy of model parameters. Both inertia and friction coefficient are identified in gradient descent approach. The stability condition of the observer has also been studied. Furthermore an improved feed-forward control has been introduced to reduce the speed track error. The proposed control strategy has been verified by both simulation and experimental results.
