Voltage and frequency stability issues occur in existing centralized power system due to the high penetration of renewable energy sources, which decrease grid absorptive capacity of them. The grid-connected inverter that mimics synchronous generator characteristics with inertia characteristic is beneficial to electric power system stability. This paper proposed a novel three-phase four-wire grid-connected inverter with an independent neutral line module that mimics synchronous generators. A mathematical model of the synchronous generator and operation principles of the synchronverter are introduced. The main circuit and control parameters design procedures are also provided in detail. A 10 kW prototype is built and tested for further verification. The primary frequency modulation and primary voltage regulation characteristics of the synchronous generator are emulated and automatically adjusted by the proposed circuit, which helps to supports the grid.

TABS (Thermally Activated Building System) has recently applied by huge commercial buildings, airports, and convention centers in Europe. TABS provides night-time thermal storage by heating or cooling. The embedded water-based heating and cooling system uses the high thermal inertia of concrete in the building construction, in which a heating or cooling pipe is embedded. The aim of this study is to analyze the thermal storage and thermal output of TABS applied with PCM (Phase Change Material). To achieve this, prototypes of TABS and the thermal properties of various PCMs were investigated. By using the simulation program Physibel Voltra 6.0 W, the thermal storage and thermal output were evaluated according to a heating and cooling operation schedule.

A 2-axis gimbal system is one of main disturbance sources affecting image jitter response of a satellite. The gimbal system comprises azimuth stage and elevation stage, and these pointing mechanism can be rotated by stepping motors about its azimuth and elevation axes simultaneously. Because of the complex and coupled dynamic motion of the gimbal system, its moment of inertia and structural modes can be changed according to the system configuration, and thus the gimbal system generates complicated and non-linear disturbance characteristics. In order to improve the jitter response of a spacecraft, it is an indispensable process to reduce the micro-vibration disturbance level of the antenna system. In the present research, a 2-axis gimbal system was manufactured and then its micro-vibration test was performed in terms of two types of stepping motors(2-phase and 5-phase). The test results show that the disturbance level of the gimbal system can be reduced by replacing the 2-phase stepping motor with the 5-phase one, and the average disturbance attenuation ratio is 56 % in peak level and 48 % in standard deviation level. The experimental results confirm that it is an efficient jitter reduction method to adopt a high-phase stepping motor.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate and verify the application of phase-control absolute-acceleration-feedback active tuned mass dampers (PCA-ATMD) to multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) building structures. In addition, servo speed control technique has been developed as a replacement for force control in order to mitigate the negative effects caused by friction and inertia. The essence of the proposed PCA-ATMD is to achieve a 90° phase lag for a structure by implementing the desired control force so that the PCA-ATMD can receive the maximum power flow with which to effectively mitigate the structural vibration. An MDOF building structure with a PCA-ATMD and a real-time filter forming a complete system is modeled using a state-space representation and is presented in detail. The feedback measurement for the phase control algorithm of the MDOF structure is compact, with only the absolute acceleration of one structural floor and ATMD's velocity relative to the structure required. A discrete-time direct output-feedback optimization method is introduced to the PCA-ATMD to ensure that the control system is optimized and stable. Numerical simulation and shaking table experiments are conducted on a three-story steel shear building structure to verify the performance of the PCA-ATMD. The results indicate that the absolute acceleration of the structure is well suppressed whether considering peak or root-mean-square responses. The experiment also demonstrates that the control of the PCA-ATMD can be decentralized, so that it is convenient to apply and maintain to real high-rise building structures.

스위치드 리럭턴스 전동기는 구조가 간단하고 회전자관성이 작으며 고효율을 가지는 전동기이다. 그러나 회전자 위치각에 적절한 상여자 신호를 동기화하기 위해서는 위치센서가 필수적이다. 이 위치센서로 인하여 구동시스템의 가격상승과 열악한 환경에서 시스템의 신뢰성이 저하되는 문제점을 가지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 위치 및 속도센서가 없는 스위치드 리럭턴스 전동기의 속도제어 시스템을 연구하였다. 센서리스 SRM의 안정된 속도제어를 위하여 회전자 위치검출을 상전류 및 변화율 검출로부터 구하였으며 속도오차에 대하여 도통각 주기폭을 변동하는 속도제어 시스템을 제안하였다. 이 구동시스템은 위치결정회로 속도제어기, 디지탈논리 정류자, 스위칭각 제어기와 인버터로 구성된다. 제안된 시스템은 실험을 통하여 성능을 검증하였다.

본 연구는 표면에 액체 막이 입혀진 구 입자를 지나는 기체의 흐름이 구 입자에 작용하는 항력을 결정하는 3상계 문제를 다룬다. 기체 흐름의 관성은 무시할 정도로 작으며, 구 입자의 표면에서 액체는 중력에 의해 흐르고 액체 막이 기체 흐름에 영향을 받지 않는 경우를 고려한다. SC (simple cubic), BCC (body centered cubic), FCC (face centered cubic) 각 배열의 구 입자들에 대해 외란 기법(perturbation method)과 멀티폴 전개(multipole expansion) 방법을 이용하여 입자들의 수력학적 상호 작용을 계산하고 궁극적으로 액체 막과 액체의 흐름이 기체 흐름에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 결정한다. 근사적인 방법으로 액체 막의 효과에 구하고 이를 엄밀한 계산 값들과 비교한 결과, 대체로 일치함을 보인다.

Modern high-performance automotive turbochargers (TCs) implement ceramic hybrid angular contact ball bearings in series with squeeze film dampers (SFDs) to enhance transient responses, thereby reducing the overall emission levels. The current study predicts the rotordynamic responses of the commercial automotive TCs (compressor wheel diameter = ~53 mm, turbine wheel diameter = ~43 mm, and shaft diameter at the bearing locations = ~7 mm) supported on ball bearings and SFDs for various design parameters of SFDs, including radial clearance, axial length, lubricant viscosity, and rotor imbalance conditions (i.e., amplitudes and phase angles) while increasing rotor speed up to 150 krpm. This study validates the predictive rotor finite element model against measurements of mass, polar and transverse moments of inertia, and free-free mode natural frequencies and mode shapes. A nonlinear rotordynamic model integrates nonlinear force coefficients of SFDs to calculate the transient responses of the TC rotor-bearing system. The predicted results show that SFD radial clearances, as well as phase angles of rotor imbalances, have the paramount effect on the dynamic responses of TC shaft motions.

As a shift control of automatic transmission was managed with the electronic control unit (ECU), shift quality which is a measure of shift shock during gear change has markedly improved. However, the initial clutch pressure control of the clutch filling phase should continue to rely on the predetermined control input since the input and output speeds are unchanged until the shifting process attains the inertia phase. It is critical to minimize the clutch response time and control the clutch pressure accurately at the end of clutch fill to achieve quick shift response and smoothness. Advanced transmission companies have adopted an auto calibration method which establishes the databases for the clutch piston fill-up attributes and the frictional characteristics of the disks. In this study, a distinctive auto calibration algorithm for forklift transmission under development is proposed and verified with the real-vehicle test. The experimental calibration results showed consistent turbine dynamics at the initial stage of shifts with the properly calibrated clutch-fill control parameters. By using this technique, it is necessary to finalize the shift control for the various operation conditions.

Recently, automatic transmissions caused a good improvement in the shift quality of a forklift. An advanced shift control algorithm, which was based on TCU firmware, was applied with embedded control technology and microcontrollers. In the clutch-to-clutch shifting, one friction element is released and the other friction element is activated. During this process, if the release and application timings are not synchronized, an overrun or tie-up occurs and ultimately leads to a shift shock. The TCU, which measures only the speed of the forklift, inevitably applies the open-loop shift control. In this situation, the speed ratio does not change during the clutch fill. The torque phase occurs until the clutch is disengaged. In this study, an offline shift logic of the learning control was proposed. It induced a synchronous shift when the learning control progressed. During this process, the reference current trajectory of the release clutch was corrected and applied to the next upshift. We considered the results of the overrun/tie-up characteristics of the upshift performed immediately before. The vehicle test proved that the deviation in shift quality, which was caused by the difference in the mechanical characteristics of the clutch, could be improved by the learning control.

중력식 안벽의 내진 안정성을 분석할 때, 중력식 안벽에 발생하는 하중성분의 크기와 위상관계를 명확히 결정하는 것이 중요하다. 일반적으로 안벽에 발생하는 하중성분은 안벽 관성력, 토압 그리고 수압으로 구성되어 있으며, 각 하중성분들의 크기와 위상관계는 배면지반에 발생하는 과잉간극수압의 크기에 따라 변한다. 벽체배면과 뒤채움 토체 사이의 접촉면에서 발생하는 동적작용력은 이러한 힘들의 상호작용에 의하여 발생한다 본 연구에서는 벽체 작용하중 산정식들로부터 구한 각 하중성분들의 크기를 조합하여 배면 동적작용력의 크기와 위상변화를 배면 과잉간극수압의 함수로써 산정하는 간단한 하중산정 모델을 제안하였으며, 진동대 실험결과와 이 모델의 예측결과를 비교하여 모델의 적용성을 검증하였다.
