Pneumatic exciters can be good replacements of electrodynamic, piezoelectric and hydraulic exciters owing to simple structure and large exciting force. One problem to be solved is a slow response caused by compressibility of air. Desirable frequency response characteristics of exciter are constant magnitude and zero degree phase, because users want no time delay between input signal and output force. For this reason, frequency range of pneumatic exciters is limited about 0~1 Hz. Therefore, expansion of frequency range is an important issue when designing the pneumatic exciter. In this paper, the pneumatic exciter which has same structure with active pneumatic isolator is dealt with. The dynamic characteristics are presented, and its limitation of expanding frequency range is shown based on analytical studies. Then the pneumatic exciter with dual-chamber is suggested to overcome this problem. Based on simulation study, a design method is presented.

In this paper, a new design method for IMC-PID that adds a phase scaling factor of system identifications to the standard IMC-PID controller as a control parameter is proposed. Based on analytically derived frequency properties such as gain and phase margins, this tuning rule is an optimal control method determining the optimum values of controlling factors to minimize the cost function, integral error criterion of the step response in time domain, in the constraints of design parameters to guarantee qualified frequency design specifications. The proposed controller improves existing single-parameter design methods of IMC-PID in the inflexibility problem to be able to consider various design specifications. Its effectiveness is examined by a simulation example, where a comparison of the performances obtained with the proposed tuning rule and with other common tuning rules is shown.

This paper proposes the DC offset compensation algorithm with fast response to the sensed grid voltage in the single-phase grid connected inverter. If the sensor of the grid voltage has problems, the DC offset of the grid voltage can be generated. This error must be resolved because the DC offset can generate the estimated grid frequency error of the phase-locked loop (PLL). In conventional algorithm to compensate the DC offset, the DC offset is estimated by integrating the synchronous reference frame d-axis voltage during one period of the grid voltage. The conventional algorithm has a drawback that is a slow dynamic response because monitoring the one period of the grid voltage is required. the proposed algorithm has fast dynamic response because the DC offset is consecutively estimated by transforming the d-axis voltage to synchronous reference frame without monitoring one cycle time of the grid voltage. The proposed algorithm is verified from PSIM simulation and the experiment.

Rapid and accurate phase synchronization is critical for the reliable control of grid-tied inverters. However, the commonly used software phase-locked loop methods do not always satisfy the need for high-speed and accurate phase synchronization under severe grid imbalance conditions. To address this problem, this study develops a novel open-loop phase locking scheme based on a synchronous reference frame. The proposed scheme is characterized by remarkable response speed, high accuracy, and easy implementation. It comprises three functional cascaded blocks: fast orthogonal signal generation block, fast fundamental-frequency positive sequence component construction block, and fast phase calculation block. The developed virtual orthogonal signal generation method in the first block, which is characterized by noise immunity and high accuracy, can effectively avoid approximation errors and noise amplification in a wide range of sampling frequencies. In the second block, which is the foundation for achieving fast phase synchronization within 3 ms, the fundamental-frequency positive sequence components of unsymmetrical grid voltages can be achieved with the developed orthogonal signal construction strategy and the symmetrical component method. The real-time grid phase can be consequently obtained in the third block, which is free from self-tuning closed-loop control and thus improves the dynamic performance of the proposed scheme. The proposed scheme is adaptive to severe unsymmetrical grid voltages with sudden changes in magnitude, phase, and/or frequency. Moreover, this scheme is able to eliminate phase errors induced by harmonics and random noise. The validity and utility of the proposed scheme are verified by the experimental results.

In a single-phase grid-connected power system consisting of a DC/DC converter and a DC/AC converter, the current drawn from renewable energy sources has a tendency to be pulsated and contains second-order frequency ripple components, which results in several drawback such as a power harvesting loss and a shortening of the energy source's life. This paper presents a new second-order harmonic current reduction scheme with a fast dc-link voltage loop for two-stage dc-dc-ac grid connected systems. In the frequency domain, an adequate control design is performed based on the small signal transfer function of a two-stage dc-dc-ac converter. To verify the effectiveness of proposed control algorithm, a 1 kW hardware prototype has been built and experimental results are presented.

This paper proposes a single-phase unified power quality conditioner (S-UPQC) for maintaining power quality issues in a microgrid. The S-UPQC can compensate the voltage and current harmonics, voltage sag, and swell as a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), regardless of variations in the grid frequency. Odd harmonics are treated as even-order harmonics in a rotating frame to implement the harmonic compensators with only one repetitive controller (RC) without any harmonic extractor. The dynamic performance is improved and the delay time is reduced in the RC. The S-UPQC control scheme is designed to maintain accurate and stable operation under deviations of the grid frequency by using the Lagrange interpolation-based finite-impulse-response (LIFIR) filter approximation method. The proposed control schemes were validated through a simulation and experiment.

본 논문에서는 신호의 파워에 따라 적응적 스텝 사이즈를 갖는 개선된 QIM(Quantization index modulation)과 SVM(Support vector machine) 디코딩 모델을 이용한 다중 오디오 워터마킹 알고리즘을 제안한다. 워터마크는 주파수 크기 응답과 주파수 위상 응답에 QIM을 이용하여 삽입한다. 이는 주파수 크기 응답과 위상 응답에 강인한 공격이 다르기 때문에 양쪽 모두 삽입하여 강인성을 보완하기 위해서이다. 검출시에는 SVM 디코딩 모델을 사용하여 검출된 워터마크가 워터마크로서의 기능이 애매모호한 경우를 개선하여 검출 비율을 향상시킨다. 강인성 검증을 위해 11개의 공격을 사용하였고 그 결과 SVM 디코딩 모델을 사용하지 않은 기존의 다중 오디오 워터마킹 방법보다 훨씬 우수한 성능을 보였다. 특히 PSNR은 최대 7dB의 개선 효과를, BER은 10%의 개선 효과를 보인 것은 주목할 만한 결과이다.

The reliability of grid-connected inverters can be improved by algorithms capable of diagnosing faults in LCL filters. A fault diagnostic method during inverter startup is proposed. The proposed method can accurately generate and monitor information on the peak value and the location of the peak frequency component of the step response of a damped LCL filter. To identify faults, the proposed method compares the evaluated response with the response of a healthy higher-order damped LCL filter. The frequency components in the filter voltage response are first analytically obtained in closed form, which yields the expected trends for the filter faults. In the converter controller, the frequency components in the filter voltage response are computed using an appropriately designed fast Fourier transform and compared with healthy LCL response parameters using a finite state machine, which is used to sequence the proposed startup diagnostics. The performance of the proposed method is validated by comparing analytical results with the simulation and experimental results for a three-phase grid-connected inverter with a damped LCL filter.

표면파를 이용하여 지반의 강성을 추정하는 기법인 SASW 시험에서 위상속도(phase volocity)를 결정하기 위해서는 위상각(phase angle)의 전개(unwrapping)가 필수적이다. 포장 구조에서처럼 깊이에 따라 강성의 차이가 현저한 경우는 기존의 위상각 전개방식으조는 정확한 위상속도를 결정하기가 용이하지 않다. 이는 기존의 위상각 전개방식은 주위상각(principal phase angle)에 2n의 정수배를 더하는 것인데, 위상각 스펙트럼(phase spectrum)에서 정수배를 결정하는 데에 어려움이 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서, 임펄스 응답 필터 기법(Impulse Response Filtration Technique), 또는 IRF기법이라고 하는 새로운 위상각 분석 기법을 제안하였다. IRF 기법의 원리는 임펄스 응답을 필터 처리함으로써 파군(wave group)을 분리하는 것인데,파군의 분리는 임펄스 응답에 대한 Gabor spectrogram을 분석한 정보를 근거로 한다. Gabor spectrogram은 전파되는 파의 에너지를 주파수-시간 공간에서 나타내는 contour 그림으로서, 파군의 전파 상황을 시각적으로 표현하는 수단이다. 이렇게 필터 처리된 임펄스 응답을 이용하면, 위상각 스펙트럼의 분석을 정확하게 할 수 있으며, 위상각의 전개에 있어서 난해함을 제거할 수 있다. 끝으로, 전쳔적인 포장 구조에 대하여 이론적으로 SASW 시험을 모사하였으며, 그 결과를 이용하여 IRF기법의 효용성을 입증하였다.

Optically coupled linear isolation amplifier requires special care to avoid oscillation in actual applications. In this paper methods to analyze the frequency characteristics of the amplifier are proposed to reveal the cause of oscillation and to provide design guidelines. The loop gain of the amplifier obtained through the equivalent circuit model shows that the phase margin is too small to ensure stable operations. Methods to get non-oscillatory response are proposed and the resulting frequency responses are analyzed. The common method adding a small capacitor to the amplifier is shown to degrade the frequency bandwidth. The frequency response of output voltage explains the need of filter capacitor in output stage. The usefulness of the method is verified through experiments.
