In this paper, we analyze experimental results by applying the PHILS model to a lab-scale superconducting current limiter system for its actual application in medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) systems. Superconducting current limiters exhibit effective current-limiting performance in circuit breaker operations, particularly in limiting large fault currents within a short period, addressing the challenges posed by the increasing use of renewable energy and the integration of DC medium-voltage distribution systems. The development of such superconducting current limiters faces various technical and cost disadvantages, especially when applying a medium-voltage 35kV level system, which is intended for future introduction. The proven lab-scale superconducting current limiter system and the PHILS model are combined and integrated into the actual system. Our plan involves analyzing the limiter's performance, assessing its impact on the system, and preparing for its application in future medium-voltage systems. Utilizing RTDS, a simulation was conducted by connecting actual scaled-down equipment and systems, with the analysis results presented.

The hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) of a railway vehicle is crucial for overcoming the limitation of field tests of a railway vehicle. A brake HILS system for a railway vehicle was previously not able to test the performance of a speed-sensing system of a railway vehicle, since wheelset speeds were generated only by computer simulations. In this paper, we present a novel wheelset speed implementation of a brake HILS system for a railway vehicle. Four wheelset speeds of a brake HILS system for a car of a railway vehicle are implemented using four small-sized servomotors, whereas the speed sensors and pole wheels used in the brake HILS system are the actual ones of the railway vehicle. According to the simulated speeds of four wheelsets in the dynamic equations of motion, four servomotors generate wheel speeds in real time, and then the measured wheelset speeds are fed back to the computer simulation model. Moreover, in this paper, we improve the performance of wheelset speed measurement via the T method instead of the M method presently used in the field. The performances of wheelset speed implementation and speed-sensor operation are demonstrated by experimental works using a HILS system.

This paper proposes the leader-follower based formation control method for multiple mobile robots. The controller is designed using the measurements of the follower robot such as the relative distance and angle between the leader and the follower. This means that the follower robot does not require the information of the leader robot while keeping the desired formation. Therefore, the proposed control method can reduce the communication loss and the cost for hardware. From Lyapunov stability theory, it is shown that all error signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system.

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP), a system that improves vehicle safety, also known as YMC (Yaw Motion Controller) or VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control), is a system that operates in unstable or sudden driving and braking situations. Developing conditions such as unstable or sudden driving and braking situations in a vehicle are very dangerous unless you are an experienced professional driver. Additionally, many repetitive tests are required to collect reliable data, and there are many variables to consider such as changes in the weather, road surface, and tire condition. To overcome this problem, in this paper, hardware and control software such as the ESP controller, vehicle engine, ABS, and TCS module, composed of three control zones, are modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK, and the vehicle, climate, and road surface. Various environmental variables such as the driving course were modeled and studied for the real-time ESP real-time simulator that can be repeatedly tested under the same conditions.

This paper presents the case study of the airworthiness certification for the flight control system of tactical UAV. Airworthiness regulations for flight characteristics and design and construction based on the STANAG 4671 are selected, and safety assessment is performed. Stall protection on wing level and turning flight criteria, and flap interconnection system failures were analyzed and applied to the flight control system design. The Hardware-in-the-loop simulation including math model, integrated system verification and validation test and failure mode and effects test were also performed and they are used to validate the means of compliance of the proposed airworthiness.

본 논문에서는 3-Level Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) 인버터의 중성점 리플 전압 예측 기법을 제안한다. 산업용 계통 연계형 인버터의 경우, 계통 규정을 만족하기 위하여 전압 강하와 같은 계통 사고 발생 시 계통에 협조할 수 있도록 무효전류 보상이 요구된다. NPC 인버터는 두 개의 커패시터가 직렬로 이루어진 구조로 무효전류 출력 시 상단과 하단의 커패시터 전압에 3차 중성점 리플 전류로 인해 중성점 리플 전압이 발생한다. 따라서 중성점 리플 전압을 고려하여 출력 전류에 보상하지 않으면 무효전류의 품질에 악영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 하나의 DC 전압센서를 통하여 중성점 전류를 예측하고, 중성점 리플 전압을 보상하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. Hardware In the Loop (HIL) Simulation을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증한다.
