전기자동차 배터리 셀들 간의 불균형 충전 문제를 해결하기 위해, 직병렬 하이브리드 충전 구조를 개발하였다. 이 방법은 직렬 부분에 의해 주 충전이 수행되며 병렬 부분에 의해 밸런싱이 수행되는데, 이 때, 직렬 부분은 부피가 크고 무겁지만 병렬 부분은 직렬 부분보다 작고 가볍다. 개별 배터리 셀 전압을 측정하기 위한 센서 어레이, 듀티비 제어를 포함한 IGBT, 그리고 배터리 관리 시스템은 제안된 시스템의 핵심 요소이다.

A concept of hierarchical modeling, the newest modeling technology, has been introduced in early 1990's. This new technology has a great potential to advance the capabilities of current computational mechanics. A first step to implement this concept is to construct hierarchical models, a family of mathematical models sequentially connected by a key parameter of the problem under consideration and have different levels in modeling accuracy, and to investigate characteristics in their numerical simulation aspects. Among representative model problems to explore this concept are elastic structures such as beam-, arch-, plate- and shell-like structures because the mechanical behavior through the thickness can be approximated with sequential accuracy by varying the order of thickness polynomials in the displacement or stress fields. But, in the numerical, analysis of hierarchical models, two kinds of errors prevail, the modeling error and the numerical approximation error. To ensure numerical simulation quality, an accurate estimation of these two errors is definitely essential. Here, a local a posteriori error estimator for elastic structures with thin domain such as plate- and shell-like structures is derived using the element residuals and the flux balancing technique. This method guarantees upper bounds for the global error, and also provides accurate local error indicators for two types of errors, in the energy norm. Compared to the classical error estimators using the flux averaging technique, this shows considerably reliable and accurate effectivity indices. To illustrate the theoretical results and to verify the validity of the proposed error estimator, representative numerical examples are provided.

We propose a new two-degree of freedom parallel mechanism for a haptic device and will refer to the mechanism as the SenSation. The SenSation is designed in order to improve the kinematic performanced and to achieve static balance. We use the panto graph mechanisms in order to change the location of active joints, which leads to transform a direct kinematic singularity into a nonsingularity. The direct kinematic singular configurations of the SenSation occur near the workspace boundary. Using the property that position vector of rigid body rotating about a fixed point is normal to the velocity vector, Jacobian matrix is derived. Using the vector method, two different types of singularities of the SenSation can be identified and we discuss the physical significance of each of the three types of singularities. We will compare the kinematic performances(force manipulability ellipsoid, kinematic isotropy) of the SenSation with those of five-var parallel mechanism. By specifying that the potential energy be fixed, the conditions for the static balancing of the SenSation is derived. The static balancing is accomplished by changing the center of mass of the links.

This paper presents a novel theoretical method based on power analysis to obtain voltage reference values for an inverter-based compensator. This type of compensator, which is installed in parallel with the load, is usually referred to as the active filter. The proposed method is tailored to design the compensator in such a way that it can simultaneously balance the asymmetric load, as well as correct the power factor of the supply side. For clarity, a static compensator is first considered and a recursive algorithm is utilized to calculate the reactance values. The algorithm is then extended to calculate voltage reference values when the compensator is inverter based. It is evident that the compensator would be asymmetric since the load is unbalanced. The salient feature associated with the proposed method is that the circuit representation of system load is not required and that the load is recognized just by its active and reactive consumptions. Hence, the type and connection of load do not matter. The validity and performance of the new approach are analyzed via a numerical example, and the obtained results are thoroughly discussed.

This paper presents the current limit strategy of voltage controller of delta-connected H-bridge static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) under an unbalanced voltage fault event. When phase to ground fault happens, the feasibility to heighten the magnitude of sagging phase voltage is considered by using symmetric transformation method in delta-structure STATCOM. And the efficiency to cover the maximum physical current limit of switching device is considered by using vector analysis method that calculate the zero sequence current for balancing the cluster energy in delta connected H-bridge STATCOM. The result is simple and obvious. Only positive sequence current has to be used to support the unbalanced voltage sag. Although the relationship between combination of the negative sequence voltage with current and zero sequence current is nonlinear, the more negative sequence current is supplying, the larger zero sequence current is required. From the full-model STATCOM system simulation, zero sequence current demand is identified according to a ratio of positive and negative sequence compensating current. When only positive sequence current support voltage sag, the least zero sequence current is needed.

The modular multilevel converter (MMC) has become a promising topology for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems. To control a MMC system properly, the ac-side current, circulating current and submodule (SM) capacitor voltage are taken into consideration. This paper proposes a low-computation indirect model predictive control (IMPC) strategy that takes advantages of the conventional MPC and has no weighting factors. The cost function and duty cycle are introduced to minimize the tracking error of the ac-side current and to eliminate the circulating current. An optimized merge sort (OMS) algorithm is applied to keep the SM capacitor voltages balanced. The proposed IMPC strategy effectively reduces the controller complexity and computational burden. In this paper, a discrete-time mathematical model of a MMC system is developed and the duty ratio of switching state is designed. In addition, a simulation of an eleven-level MMC system based on MATLAB/Simulink and a five-level experimental setup are built to evaluate the feasibility and performance of the proposed low-computation IMPC strategy.

무선센서네트워크(WSN)는 성장성이 높은 미래 IT산업의 중요한 이슈 중에 하나이다. WSN을 위한 다수의 프로토콜들이 개발되었고 그 중 계층형 프로토콜들이 에너지 효율적인 면에서 좋은 평가를 받고 있다. LEACH는 계층구조망을 위한 라우팅 프로토콜 중 가장 대표적이다. 하지만 LEACH관련 프로토콜은 메시지 전송 범위가 네트워크 전체 단위로 통신을 함으로서 에너지 소비가 심한 문제점이 있다. 또한 각 클러스터를 구성하는 멤버노드수와 헤드 지역분포가 불균형함으로서 부하의 적절한 분산을 만족하지 못하는 문제점도 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 LEACH관련 프로토콜들의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 새로운 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 프로토콜은 센서노드의 메모리 임계치를 이용하여 계층구조상에서 라우팅을 구성한다. 성능평가 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 프로토콜은 LEACH에 비해 네트워크에 균등한 부하의 분산을 제시할 수 있었고, LEACH보다 약 1.8배 오랜 네트워크 생존기간을 보였다.

최근 생물학적으로 영감을 받은 모델링 기술은 단순한 현장 상호작용과 제한된 정보와 함께 이들의 강인성과 확장성, 적응성에 대해 상당한 관심을 받고 있다. 이러한 모델링 기술들 중, 유전자 조절 네트워크(Gene Regulatory Networks)(GRNs)은 세포로부터 생물학적 유기체의 발생과 자연 진화에 대한 이해에서 핵심적인 역할을 하고 있다. 본 논문은 GRN 원리를 무선 센서 네트워크 시스템에 적용하고 시간지연 요건을 충족하는 동시에 에너지 균형을 달성할 수 있는 분산화된 노드 스케쥴링 설계 기법을 제안한다. 각 센서 노드는 소비된 에너지 수준과 지연시간에 반응하여 자동으로 자신의 상태를 스케줄링하며, 이는 GRN 모델에서 영감을 받은 유전자 발현과 단백질 농도 조절 모델에 의해 제어된다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 방법이 에너지 균형뿐만 아니라 원하는 시간 지연에서 성능을 달성하고 있다는 점을 보여준다.
