The rotor position of a PM synchronous motor is commonly estimated from the mathematical model for the sensorless control without rotor position sensors. For the magnet flux-based rotor position estimator in the stationary reference frame, the magnet flux estimator for estimating rotor position and speed includes the integrator. The integrator in the magnet flux estimator may accumulate the offset of the current sensors and the voltage drift. This continuous accumulation of the offset may cause the drift and overflow in the integrator, such that the estimated rotor position and speed may fail to track the real rotor position and speed. In this paper, the magnet flux estimator without integrator is proposed to avoid overflow in the integrator. The proposed rotor position and speed estimator based on magnet flux estimator are verified through simulation and experiment.

Flux estimation is a significant foundation of high-performance control for DC-excited synchronous motor. For almost all flux estimators, such as the flux estimator based on phase locked loop (PLL), DC drift causes fluctuations in flux magnitude. Furthermore, significant dynamic error may be introduced at transient conditions. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes an improved flux estimator for the PLL-based algorithm. Filters based on the generalized integrator are used to avoid flux fluctuation problems caused by the DC drift at the back electromotive force. Programmable low-pass filters are employed to improve the dynamic performance of the flux estimator, and the cutoff frequency of the filter is determined by the dynamic factor. The algorithm is verified by a 960V/1.6MW industrial prototype. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed estimator can estimate the flux more accurately than the PLL-based algorithm in a cycloconverter-fed DC-excited synchronous machine vector control system.

This paper proposes an Intelligent Speed Estimator in order to realize the speed-sensorless vector control of an induction motor. Intelligent Speed Estimator used Model Reference Adaptive System which has Fuzzy-Neural adaptive mechanism as Speed Estimation method. The Intelligent Speed Estimator estimates the speed of an induction motor with a rotor flux of a reference model and adjustable model in MRAS. The Intelligent Speed Estimator reduces the error of the rotor flux between the voltage flux model and the current flux model using the error and the change of error as input of the Estimator. The computer simulation is executed to verify the propriety and the effectiveness of the proposed speed estimator.

Conventional adaptive speed estimators cannot avoid the influence of the non-linear inductance variation under the saturation conditions. Without speed sensors, it is difficult to identify the inductance variation using a reactive power mode because the model contains a term of the rotor speed. In this paper, we propose a novel speed estimator having hybrid architecture in order to estimate both the rotor speed and the inductance variation simultaneously when the motor flux is saturated. Proposed estimator consists of the error between the flux obtained from the stator voltage equation and the flux estimated from the rotor flux observer. Introducing a new correction term into the estimator increases the estimation ability of the conventional speed estimator even though the motor flux is saturated. The convergence of the speed estimation error is examined by simulation Furthermore, the experimental results show the validity of the proposed method.

In this paper we analyze an a posteriori error estimator based on flux recovery for lowest-order finite element discretizations of elliptic interface problems. The flux recovery considered here is based on averaging the discrete normal fluxes and/or tangential derivatives at midpoints of edges with weight factors adapted to discontinuous coefficients. It is shown that the error estimator based on this flux recovery is equivalent to the error estimator of Bernardi and $Verf{\ddot{u}}rth$ based on the standard edge residuals uniformly with respect to jumps of the coefficient between subdomains. Moreover, as a byproduct, we obtain slightly modified weight factors in the edge residual estimator which are expected to produce more accurate results.

Fireball로 인한 위험성 및 피해를 평가하기 위한 프로그램, FIRESTOR를 개발하여 Fireball로 인한 Thermal flux를 예측하였고, FIRESTOR 프로그램을 부천가스 충전소 사고를 모델로 하여, BLEVE ESTIMATOR와 상용프로그램인 Dupont 사의 SAFER와 비교 분석 하였 다. 용기압력이 일정시 Propane과 Butane의 경우 Thermal flux는 거리변화에 따라 지수함 수로 감소하였다. 거리변화에 따른 Thermal flux변화를 BLEVE ESTIMATOR, SAFER, FIRESTOR로 상호 비교한 결과 본 연구에서 연구개발한 FIRESTOR 프로그램은 SAFER 와 ESTIMATOR의 중간값으로 Dupont사의 상용프로그램인 SAFER에 근접하는 경향을 보이고 있어 우수한 프로그램으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a flux estimator for the sensorless vector control of induction motors. The proposed method utilize the combination of the voltage model based on stator equivalent model and the current model based on rotor equivalent model, which enables stable estimation of rotor flux in high speed region and in low speed region. The dynamic performance of proposed method is verified through the experiment. The experimental results show that motors ran easily start even under 150[%] load condition and operate continuously below 0.5[Hz].

This paper proposes a new compensation algorithm for stator resistance that is crucial for improving the direct vector control performance of an induction motor. This algorithm is based on the flux estimator that is derived from the stator voltage equation. Since a flux estimator is dependent on the stator resistance, a flux error originates from the variation of the stator resistance. This parameter mismatch in the estimator thereafter affects the flux and torque response. Accordingly, a new compensator has been designed to offset this degradation in the responses. The proposed compensator is very simple to implement and does not require any modifications to the motor model or any special interruptions of the controller. The value of the stator resistance is attained in real time through measuring the terminal voltage and current. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been confirmed through both simulation and experimentation.

유도전동기의 벡터제어를 수행하기 위해서 회전자 자속의 위치정보가 필수적이다. 하지만 정확한 회전자 위치정보를 얻기 위해서는 속도정보가 필수적이다. 속도정보 없는 개루프 방식의 제어나 전동기 방정식을 이용하는 방법들은 노이즈나 전동기 상수오차등에 의해 적용하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 자속관측기와 속도추정기를 분리하여 임의의 자속관측기를 사용할 수 있는 속도추정기를 제안하고 기존의 세 가지 자속관측기를 제안된 속도추정기에 적용하였다. 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 제안된 속도추정기의 타당성을 검증하였고 세 가지 자속관측기의 특성을 분석하였다.
