This research has four specific objectives: (1) identifying factors that affect customer satisfaction with less than container load (LCL) cargo services of logistics companies in HoChiMinh City (HCMC), (2) measuring the level of impact of the factors, (3) testing the difference in satisfaction among groups of customers with different characteristics in terms of type of business and time of using LCL cargo services, and (4) proposing some management implications to improve the quality of LCL cargo services. Researchers interviewed 210 customers who enjoyed the LCL cargo service in HCMC for at least the last six months, using the convenient sampling method. SPSS 20 was used to analyze the reliability of the scale through the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, then exploratory factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used. The results identified the six factors that influence positively customer satisfaction of LCL cargo services of logistics companies in HCMC, by decreasing importance: service process, image, resource, price, management, and outcomes. The results show that there is no difference in customer satisfaction with LCL cargo services by types of business as well as time of using services. The research suggests some implications for the management of logistics companies in HCMC to enhance customer satisfaction.

In most grid-connected inverters (GCI) with an LCL filter, since the design of both the LCL filter and the controller is done separately, considerable tuning efforts have to be exerted when compared to inverters using an L filter. Consequently, an integrated co-design of the filter and the controller for an LCL-type GCI is proposed in this paper. The control strategy includes only a PI current controller and a proportional grid voltage feed-forward controller. The capacitor is removed from the LCL filer and the design procedure starts from an L-type GCI with a PI current controller. After the PI controller has been settled, the capacitor is added back to the filter. Hence, it introduces a resonance frequency, which is identified based on the crossover frequencies to accommodate the preset PI controller. Using the proposed co-design method, harmonic standards are satisfied and other practical constraints are met. Furthermore, the grid voltage feed-forward control can bring an inherent damping characteristic. In such a way, the good control performance offered by the original L-type GCI and the sharp harmonic attenuation offered by the latter designed LCL filter can be well integrated. Moreover, only the grid current and grid voltage are sensed. Simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed design methodology.

3상의 PWM 인버터는 풍력발전설비에서 계통연계나 전력제어의 목적으로 그 수요가 급증하고 있다. 이러한 인버터는 스위칭에 의한 고조파를 저감하기 위하여 L-필터나 LCL-필터를 통하여 계통과 연결된다. LCL-필터는 L-필터에 비하여 낮은 스위칭 주파수의 고조파도 효율적으로 저감할 수 있으며 비교적 적은 인덕턴스로 만족할 만한 수준의 계통 전류를 생성한다. 하지만 LC의 추가로 인해 생기는 추가 극점이 시스템의 공진을 초래하여 안정성 문제에 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 전력이론을 이용하여 설계된 LCL필터 시스템의 성능향상과 공진에 의한 안정성 문제의 개선기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 바탕으로 개선기법의 타당성을 보인다.

In this paper, WBG semiconductor such as SiC and GaN were applied as power switches for LCL circuit that can be applied to satellite power systems and the test results of the LCL circuit are reported. P-channel MOSFET and N-channel MOSFET, which were generally used in the conventional LCL circuit, were applied together to expand the utility of the test results. The design and stability evaluation were performed using a Micro Cap circuit simulation program. For the test circuit, a module using each switch was manufactured, and a total of 5 modules were manufactured and the steady state and transient state characteristics were compared. From the experimental results, the LCL circuit for power supply of the satellite power system constructed in this paper satisfied the constant current and constant voltage conditions under various operating conditions. The P-channel MOSFET showed the lowest efficiency characteristics, and the three N-channel switches of Si, SiC and GaN showed relatively high efficiency characteristics of up to 99.05% or more. In conclusion, it was verified that the on-resistor of the switch had a direct effect on the efficiency and loss characteristics.

대용량 유도전동기용 인버터 개발을 위한 부하 장치는 고가의 제작 비용 및 제작에 많은 시간이 필요하므로 유도전동기 및 부하 장치를 대체할 수 있는 시뮬레이터 개발에 대한 필요가 증대되고 있다. 기존의 대용량 3상 유도전동기의 인버터용 부하 시뮬레이터는 리액터와 3상 PWM 정류기를 사용하여 시험용 인버터의 전류를 제어함으로써 단지 인버터의 부하로만 작용할 뿐 유도전동기의 특성을 모사하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 LCL 필터와 3상 PWM 정류기를 이용하여 3상 유도전동기의 모델과 부하 특성을 모사할 수 있는 실시간 시뮬레이터를 제안한다. PWM 인버터에 흐르는 전류는 3상 유도전동기의 고정자 전류를 모사하며 LCL 필터의 인덕터에 흐르는 전류와 커패시터 전압에 의해 제어된다. LCL 필터의 커패시터 전압은 3상 유도전동기의 회전자 자속에 의해 고정자 권선에 유기되는 유도기전력을 모사하며 인덕터 전류와 PWM 정류기에 의해 제어된다. 3상 유도전동기의 회전자 전류, 고정자 및 회전자 자속, 전동기 토크, 슬립 주파수 및 회전자 속도는 인버터에 흐르는 전류와 유도전동기의 상수로부터 유도된다. MATLAB/Simulink 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 3상 유도전동기용 실시간 시뮬레이터의 전기적, 기계적 모델 특성 및 벡터제어 동작을 검증하였다.

In recent years, several LCL filter design methods for different converter topologies have been published, many of which use analytical expressions to calculate the ideal converter AC voltage harmonic spectrum. This paper presents the LCL filter design methodology but the focus is on presentation and validation of the non-iterative filter design method for a grid-connected three-phase two-level PWM-VSC. The developed method can be adapted for different converter topologies and PWM algorithms. Furthermore, as a starting point for the design procedure, only the range of PWM carrier frequencies is required instead of an exact value. System nonlinearities, usually omitted from analysis have a significant influence on VSC AC voltage harmonic spectrum. In order to achieve better accuracy of the proposed procedure, the system nonlinear model is incorporated into the method. Optimal filter parameters are determined using the novel cost function based on higher frequency losses of the filter. An example of LCL filter design for a 40 kVA grid-connected PWM-VSC has been presented. Obtained results have been used to construct the corresponding laboratory setup and measurements have been performed to verify the proposed method.

Compared to LC resonance, LCL resonance has distinct advantages such as a large resonant capability, low voltage and current stresses of the power device, constant voltage or current output characteristics, and fault-tolerance capability. Thus, LCL resonant compensation is employed for a movable Inductive Contactless Power Transfer (ICPT) system with a multi-load in this paper, which achieves constant current output characteristics. Peculiarly, the primary side adopts a much larger compensation inductor than the primary leakage inductor to lower the reactive power, reduce the input current ripple, generate a large current in the primary side, and realize soft-switching. Furthermore, this paper proposes an approximate resonant point for large inductor-ratio LCL resonant compensation through fundamental wave analysis. In addition, the PWM control strategy is used for this system to achieve constant current output characteristics. Finally, an experimental platform is built, whose secondary E-Type coils can ride and move on a primary rail. Simulations and experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness and accuracy of both the theory and the design method.

A grid-connected inverter used for renewable energy resources produces harmonic components in the switching frequency. To effectively reduce switching harmonic components, several types of filter are generally used in the output stage of the grid-connected inverter. Many research works on LCL filter design have been done to maintain the performance with low cost. However, it is not easy to make the filter design be economical and optimal due to the varying characteristic of magnetic core and redundancy design by experience. In this paper, a design method for a LCL filter is presented through the inductor optimization scheme in view of the size and cost when the inductor is manufactured using the magnetic core. The effectiveness is verified through tests using a 3kW grid-connected inverter by simulations and experiments.

EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) are used as a resource for human genetic, immunological, and pharmacogenomic studies. We investigated the biological activity of 20 LCL strains during continuous long-term subculture up to a passage number of 160. Out of 20 LCL strains, 17 proliferated up to a passage number of 160, at which point LCLs are generally considered as "immortalized". The other three LCL strains lost the ability to proliferate at an average passage number of 41, during which these LCLs may have undergone cellular crisis. These non-immortal LCL strains exhibited no telomerase activity, decreased EBV gene expression, and a lower copy number of the EBV genome and mitochondrial DNA when compared with immortal LCLs. Thus, this study suggests that sustained EBV viral activity as well as telomerase activity may be required for complete LCL immortalization.
