The multi-level inverters are highly efficient for high-power and medium-voltage AC driving applications, such as high-speed railway systems and renewable energy resources, because such inverters generate lower total harmonic distortion (THD) and electromagnetic interface (EMI). Lower switching stress occurs on switching devices compared with conventional two-level inverters. Depending on the multi-level inverter topology, the required components and number of switching devices are different, influencing the overall efficiency. Comparative studies of multi-level inverters based on loss analysis and output characteristic are necessary to apply multi-level inverters in high-power AC conversion systems. This paper proposes a theoretical loss analysis method based on piecewise linearization of characteristic curves of power semiconductor devices as well as loss analysis and output performance comparison of five-level neutral-point clamped, flying capacitor inverters, and high-level cascaded H-bridge multi-level inverters.

본 논문에서는 Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) 퍼지 시스템 모델을 이용한 비선형 시스템의 퍼지 슬라이딩 모드제어방식을 제안한다. 이 방식에서는 하나의 T-S 퍼지 모델을 구성하는 각 선형 동력학의 입력 이득행렬을 단일화 하는 과정을 필요로 한다. 이 과정에서 생성되는 입력 불확실성은 슬라이딩 모드 제어의 외란에 대한 처리 방법으로 해결될 수 있다. 또한 기존의 T-S 퍼지 모델에 대한 제어방식에서 처리하지 못했던, 상태변수에 독립적이기 때문에 선형화되지 않는 비선형 항에 대한 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 제안된 제어시스템의 안정도를 보이며 제어 입력이 슬라이딩 평면에 대한 도달조건을 만족함을 보인다. 제안된 제어방식의 타당성과 제어기 설계과정을 보이기 위하여 역진자 시스템에 적용한 시뮬레이션 결과를 보인다.

본 논문에서는 선형화 특성이 우수하고, 대역폭이 넓은 feedforward 선형화 기법을 이용하여 IMT-2000용 1-Watt 급 증폭기를 설계 제작하였다. Feedforward는 외부환경(온도, 입력 전력 레벨, 시간 등)의 변화에 민감하므로 마이크로컨트롤러를 이용하여 이를 제어하였다. 35dB 의 이득과 40dBm의 최고전력을 갖는 주증폭기를 설계하였고, 각 루프의 신호를 상쇄하기 위해서 반사형 가변감쇄기와 위상변화기를 사용하였다. 2.11 2.17GHz 대역에서 측정 결과 신호루프에서 주신호를 35dB이상 상쇄하였으며, 오차루프에서 30dB 이상 오차신호를 상쇄하여 60dBc 이상의 선형화 특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, a novel scheme for the condition monitoring of lithium polymer batteries is proposed, based on the sigma-point Kalman filter (SPKF) theory. For this, a runtime-based battery model is derived, from which the state-of-charge (SOC) and the capacity of the battery are accurately predicted. By considering the variation of the serial ohmic resistance ($R_o$) in this model, the estimation performance is improved. Furthermore, with the SPKF, the effects of the sensing noise and disturbance can be compensated and the estimation error due to linearization of the nonlinear battery model is decreased. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by Matlab/Simulink simulation and experimental results. The results have shown that in the range of a SOC that is higher than 40%, the estimation error is about 1.2% in the simulation and 1.5% in the experiment. In addition, the convergence time in the SPKF algorithm can be as fast as 300 s.

Tracking the tactical object is a fundamental affair in network-equipped modern warfare. Geodetic coordinate system based on longitude, latitude, and height is suitable to represent the location of tactical objects considering multi platform data fusion. The motion of tactical object described as a dynamic model requires an appropriate filtering to overcome the system and measurement noise in acquiring information from multiple sensors. This paper introduces the filter suitable for multi-sensor data fusion and tactical object tracking, particularly the unscented transform(UT) and its detail. The UT in Unscented Kalman Filter(UKF) uses a few samples to estimate nonlinear-propagated statistic parameters, and UT has better performance and complexity than the conventional linearization method. We show the effects of UT-based filtering via simulation considering practical tactical object tracking scenario.

In the power system with an electric storage system that can increase utilization rate of the source of such new renewable energy, this paper introduces the approach on the daily unit commitment scheduling that determines simultaneously optimum operational condition and output of thermal generators and electric storage device. The unit commitment is one of the most important issues in economic operation and security of short-term operational plan of the power system. It is to determine on/off status of generator to minimize operational cost during the given period. The committed generator should satisfy various operational limitation such as estimated demand by system, spinning reserve condition within minimum operational cost. In order to determine on/off or charge/discharge/idle condition and output level of units and electric storage system, the MILP(Mixed Integer Linear Programming) is suggested. The proposed approach is the mixed method between LP(Linear Programming) and IP(integer programming) which seeks the value of real number and integer that maximize or minimize function objective within given condition. The daily unit commitment problem with the electric storage system is applied to MILP algorithm through linearization and formulation process. The proposed approach is applied to the test system.

A vehicle suspension system performs two functions, the ride quality and the stability, which conflict with each other. Among the various suspension systems, an active suspension system has an external energy source, from which energy is always supplied to the system for continuous control of vehicle motion. In the process of the linearization for the nonlinear active suspension system, the frequency dependent damping method is used for the exact modelling to the real model. The pressure control valve which is controlled by proportional solenoid is the most important component in the active suspension system. The pressure control valve has the dynamic characteristics with 1st order delay. Therefore, It's necessary to adopt the lead compensator to compensate the dynamics of the pressure control valve. The sampling time is also important factor for the control performances. The sampling time value is proposed to satisfy the system performances. After the modelling and simulation for the pressure control valve and vehicle dynamic, the performances of the vehicle ride quality and the stability are enhanced.

In this paper the geometrically nonlinear continuum plate finite element model, hitherto not reported in the literature, is developed using the total Lagrange formulation. With the layerwise displacement field of Reddy, nonlinear Green-Lagrange small strain large displacements relations (in the von Karman sense) and linear elastic orthotropic material properties for each lamina, the 3D elasticity equations are reduced to 2D problem and the nonlinear equilibrium integral form is obtained. By performing the linearization on nonlinear integral form and then the discretization on linearized integral form, tangent stiffness matrix is obtained with less manipulation and in more consistent form, compared to the one obtained using laminated element approach. Symmetric tangent stiffness matrixes, together with internal force vector are then utilized in Newton Raphson's method for the numerical solution of nonlinear incremental finite element equilibrium equations. Despite of its complex layer dependent numerical nature, the present model has no shear locking problems, compared to ESL (Equivalent Single Layer) models, or aspect ratio problems, as the 3D finite element may have when analyzing thin plate behavior. The originally coded MATLAB computer program for the finite element solution is used to verify the accuracy of the numerical model, by calculating nonlinear response of plates with different mechanical properties, which are isotropic, orthotropic and anisotropic (cross ply and angle ply), different plate thickness, different boundary conditions and different load direction (unloading/loading). The obtained results are compared with available results from the literature and the linear solutions from the author's previous papers.

This paper investigates to design a controller for maritime autonomous surface ship (MASS) by means of adaptive super-twisting algorithm (ASTA). A input-out feedback linearization method is considered for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system. Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) is suitable for MASS subject to ocean environments due to its robustness against parameter uncertainties and disturbances. However, conventional SMC has inherent disadvantages so-called, chattering phenomenon, which resulted from the high frequency of switching terms. Chattering may cause harmful failure of actuators such as propeller and rudder of ships. The main contribution of this work is to address an appropriate controller for MASS, simultaneously controls surge and yaw motion in severe step inputs. Proposed control mechanism well provides convergence bewildered by external disturbances in the middle of steady-state responses as well as chattering attenuation. Also, the adaptive algorithm is contributed to reducing non-overestimated value of control gains. Control inputs of surge and yaw motion are displayed by smoother curves without excessive control activities of actuators. Finally, no overshoot can be seen in transient responses.

In a hydraulic control system, since a hydraulic cylinder drives a relatively large mass of an object, an external load force acts as a disturbance on the control performance of the system. Additionally, as the hydraulic system is used for a long period, there are disturbances that occur gradually, such as a drop in supply pressure because of abrasion of the pump, oil leakage from a valve, and oil leakage from a cylinder. In this study, a state feedback controller based on a linearization technique is applied. To prevent the performance degradation of the controller from the load disturbance, an Extended Luenberger observer (ELO) is used for the Extended system. The case of using the proportional controller, which is a representative linear controller, and the result of using the controller designed in this study are compared and reviewed through simulation. Also, we propose an experimental gain-setting method for a state feedback controller that can be used at industrial sites, and examine how the stability and control performance of the system changes because of the disturbance inputs through the experimental results.
