this paper presents an implementation of digital control system of speed sensorless for Reluctance Synchronous Motor (RSM) drives with direct torque control (DTC). The problem of DTC for high-dynamic performance RSM drive is generating a nonlinear torque due to a saturated nonlinear inductance curve with various load currents. The control system consists of stator flux observer, compensating inductance look-up table, rotor position/speed/torque estimator, two hysteresis band controllers, an optimal switching look-up table, IGBT voltage source unverter, and TMS320C31 DSP controller. The stator flux observer is based on the combined voltage and current model with stator flux feedback adapitve control that inputs are the compensated inductances, current and voltage sensing of motor terminal with estimated rotor angle for wide speed range. The rotor position is estimated rotor speed is determined by differentiation of the rotor position used only in the current model part of the flux observer for a low speed operation area. It does not requrie the knowledge of any montor paramenters, nor particular care for moter starting, In order to prove the suggested control algorithm, we have simulation and testing at actual experimental system. The developed sensorless control system is showing a good speed control response characterisitic result and high performance features in 20/1500 rpm with 1.0Kw RSM having 2.57 ratio of d/q reluctance.

A sensorless control strategy for permanent magnet synchronous motors is presented in this paper. A speed control scheme based on the measurement and observation of stator current, voltage. and flux vector is proposed. Two phase voltages and two stator currents are measured and processed in discrete form in DSP. The rotor position and speed are estimated through the stator flux and its derivative estimation. Flux and its derivative are calculated in the stationary reference frame and used to estimate the speed and position. The rotor position angle is then used in a microcontroller to produce the appropriate stator current command signals for the hysteresis current controller of the inverter. The closed-loop speed control has been shown to be effective from standstill to rated speed. Moreover, a flux drift problem caused by the integration can be eliminated so that a stable sensorless starting and running operation can be achieved. Computer simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

I보일러-터빈 설비는 화력발전소의 주전원설비 내지 자가발전설비로서 보일러는 연료를 연소시켜 그 열을 수관내의 물에 전달하여 필요한 증기를 얻는 설비이고, 터빈은 보일러에서 보내온 고온, 고압의 증기를 팽창시켜 기계적 에너지로 변환하여 그 에너지로 발전기를 회전하여 전기를 얻는 장치이다. 보일러-터빈 설비는 전기적 출력과 드럼내의 증기압 및 수위를 적절히 조절함으로써 발전소의 안정된 운전을 도모하고 발전용 연료의 절감 및 이를 통한 공해 저감을 이루어야 할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 보일러-터빈 설비에 대한 제어시스템을 설계하는 한 방법으로서 기준모델 추종형 퍼지 시스템을 제안한다. 보일러-터빈 설비는 다변수 비선형 시스템으로서 일반적인 제어시스템 구성이 힘들지만, 오버슈트가 없으며 속응성이 좋은 기준모델을 선정하고 이 기준모델을 추종하도록 하는데 일반적인 1입력-1출력 퍼지제어기만을 적용하여도 기준신호에 대한 추종성 및 외란제거 능력 그리고 모델링 오차에 대한 강인성까지 나타내는 제어시스템의 설계가 가능하게 되었다. 따라서 전원설비로서의 보일러-터빈 설비에 대한 효율적인 제어시스템 설계방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

As a functional material, shape memory alloy (SMA) has attracted much attention and research effort to explore its unique properties and its applications in the past few decades. Some of its properties, in particular the electrical resistance (ER) based self-sensing property of SMA, have not been fully studied. Electrical resistance of an SMA wire varies during its phase transformation. This variation is an inherent property of the SMA wire, although it is highly nonlinear with hysteresis. The relationship between the displacement and the electrical resistance of an SMA wire is deterministic and repeatable to some degree, therefore enabling the self-sensing ability of the SMA. The potential of this self-sensing ability has not received sufficient exploration so far, and even the previous studies in literature lack generality. This paper concerns the utilization of the self-sensing property of a spring-biased Nickel-Titanium (Nitinol) SMA actuator for two applications: ER feedback position control of an SMA actuator without a position sensor, and estimation of the opening of a SMA actuated valve. The use of the self-sensing property eliminates the need for a position sensor, therefore reducing the cost and size of an SMA actuator assembly. Two experimental apparatuses are fabricated to facilitate the two proposed applications, respectively. Based on open-loop testing results, the curve fitting technique is used to represent the nonlinear relationships between the displacement and the electrical resistance of the two SMA wire actuators. Using the mathematical models of the two SMA actuators, respectively, a proportional plus derivative controller is designed for control of the SMA wire actuator using only electrical resistance feedback. Consequently, the opening of the SMA actuated valve can be estimated without using an extra sensor.

The current paper presents a novel control strategy of a three-phase, four-wire Unified Power Quality (UPQC) to improve power quality. The UPQC is realized by the integration of series and shunt active power filters (APF) sharing a common dc bus capacitor. The realization of shunt APF is carried out using a three-phase, four-leg Voltage Source Inverter (VSI), and the series APF is realized using a three-phase, three-leg VSI. To extract the fundamental source voltages as reference signals for series APF, a zero-crossing detector and sample-and-hold circuits are used. For the control of shunt APF, a simple scheme based on the real component of fundamental load current (I $Cos{\Phi}$) with reduced numbers of current sensors is applied. The performance of the applied control algorithm is evaluated in terms of power-factor correction, source neutral current mitigation, load balancing, and mitigation of voltage and current harmonics in a three-phase, four-wire distribution system for different combinations of linear and non-linear loads. The reference signals and sensed signals are used in a hysteresis controller to generate switching signals for shunt and series APFs. In this proposed UPQC control scheme, the current/voltage control is applied to the fundamental supply currents/voltages instead of fast-changing APF currents/voltages, thus reducing the computational delay and the required sensors. MATLAB/Simulink-based simulations that support the functionality of the UPQC are obtained.

It has been shown in the literature that active adjustment of the intake area of a jet engine has potential to improve its fuel efficiency. This paper presents the design and control of a novel proof-of-concept active jet engine intake using Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti or Nitinol) shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators. The Nitinol SMA material is used in this research due to its advantages of high power-to-weight ratio and electrical resistive actuation. The Nitinol SMA material can be fabricated into a variety of shapes, such as strips, foils, rods and wires. In this paper, SMA wires are used due to its ability to generate a large strain: up to 6% for repeated operations. The proposed proof-of-concept engine intake employs overlapping leaves in a concentric configuration. Each leaf is mounted on a supporting bar than can rotate. The supporting bars are actuated by an SMA wire actuator in a ring configuration. Electrical resistive heating is used to actuate the SMA wire actuator and rotate the supporting bars. To enable feedback control, a laser range sensor is used to detect the movement of a leaf and therefore the radius of the intake area. Due to the hysteresis, an inherent nonlinear phenomenon associated with SMAs, a nonlinear robust controller is used to control the SMA actuators. The control design uses the sliding-mode approach and can compensate the nonlinearities associated with the SMA actuator. A proof-of-concept model is fabricated and its feedback control experiments show that the intake area can be precisely controlled using the SMA wire actuator and has the ability to reduce the area up to 25%. The experiments demonstrate the feasibility of engine intake area control using an SMA wire actuator under the proposed design.

소형 BLDC(Brushless DC) 전동기는 높은 운전효율과 고토크 특성으로 인하여, 산업용 기계와 가전기기 및 특히 의료용 장비에 널리 사용되고 있다. 일반적인 BLDC 전동기의 경우에 전류(commutation) 구간에서의 토크 리플 억제에 대한 다양한 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 하지만, 초고속 BLDC 전동기의 경우 설계 특성상 전기적 시정수가 매우 짧아서 전류 구간에서의 토크 리플 보다 통전 구간에서의 토크 리플이 더 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 40000rpm급 초고속 소형 BLDC 전동기의 전기적 시상수에 따른 통전구간에서의 토크리플을 해석하고, 토크 리플 억제를 위하여, 순시 전압 제어기와 고속 히스테리시스 전류 제어기를 제안한다. 제안된 순시 전압제어기는 통전구간에서의 토크 리플 억제를 위하여 운전속도와 부하전류에 적합한 전압을 순시적으로 제어하여 BLDC 전동기에 공급하고, 고속 히스테리시스 전류 제어기는 DSP의 지령전류에 따라, 제어 주기의 샘플링 지연없이 부하전류를 제어하는 시스템이다. 제안된 초고속 소형 BLDC 전동기의 토크 리플 억제를 위한 제어 시스템은 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 증명하였다.
