For the evaluation of operability of MOV(Motor Operated Valve), the precision prediction of thrust/torque acting on the valve is important. In this paper, the analytical prediction method of thrust/torque was proposed. The design basis stem thrust calculation typically considers the followings: Packing thrust, Stem rejection load, design basis differential pressure load. In general, test results show that temperature, pressure, fluid type, and differential pressure, independently and combination, all have an effect on the friction factor. The prediction results of thrust/torque are well agrement with dynamic test results.

The real time simulator for testing the high power inverter unit of a PM synchronous motor is proposed. The power converter of the real time simulator can replaces the dynamo test equipment that consists of a PMSM(PM synchronous motor) and load unit. It is verified by the simulation that the real time simulator has a similar electrical and mechanical characteristics of the PM synchronous motor.

Generally, the digital controller has many advantages such as high precision, robustness to electrical noise, capability of flexible programming and fast response to the load variation. In this study, we have established proper mathematical equivalent model of Brushless DC (BLDC) motor and estimated the motor parameter by means of the back-emf measurement as being the step input to the controlled target BLDC motor. And the validity of proposed estimation method is confirmed by the test result of step response. As well, we have designed the reasonable digital controller as a consequence of the root locus method which is obtained from the open-loop transfer function of BLDC motor with hall sensor, and the determination of control gain for variable speed control. Here, revised Ziegler-Nichols tuning method is applied for the proper digital gain establishment, and the system stability is verified by the frequency domain analysis with Bode-plot and experimentation.

This paper presents methods of parameter measurement and starting characteristics of a 3 phase induction motor. The motor parameters measured by DC test, blocked rotor test, and no load test are used as the input data for computer simulation. Starting characteristics are analyzed through computer simulation using measured parameters, and the simulation results are compared with the experimental results obtained by using strain gauge attached on the motor shaft. It is conformed that the experimental results are very similar to those of the simulation.

Now a days, the inverter fed induction motors are being widely used. In this case, many harmonic voltages cause a additional effect on the characteristics of induction motor. Several characteristics calculation methods have been introduced. But it needs tedious experiments for designer to apply these methods to induction motor because these methods need measurement and test results. This paper presents characteristics calculation method which don't need measurement and test results. And this paper shows that the simulation results agree well with values obtained by actual load test.

Recent high-end treadmills are demanding stable performance at lower speeds. In this study, a slip control-based induction motor sensorless algorithm for treadmills, which have heavy load variations, is proposed. A modified Gopinath flux estimator is used to evaluate the rotor flux. Results indicate that a good speed regulation performance is achieved even at a low speed of approximately 3 Hz with a nominal exercise load of 90 kg body weight. The slip calculation method in the stationary coordinate system is adopted to improve the control stability. The proposed algorithm is verified throughout the simulation study using PSIM, and the experimental test consists of a commercial treadmill system.

This study was carried out to develop a system and methodology to simulate the engine load variation occuring during agricultural field operations for a laboratory engine test. The system consisted of an electric dynamometer, an Apple II microcomputer, and a data acquisition and control system. Several pieces of instruments were utilized to measure various engine performance data. Both engine torque and engine speed were fully controlled by a computer program. The dynamic characteristics of the system were analyzed through a series of tests and the limitations on the load simulation test were presented. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. Engine speed and toque were controlled by a computer program. The use of a stepping motor and reduction gears enabled engine speed be controlled within 1 rpm. 2. The natural frequency of the dynamometer-engine system was found to be around 5 Hz, at which the load simulation would be impossible because of resonance. 3. For the harmonic inputs with the frequencies above the natural frequency, the signal attenuated too much and therefore the load simulation was impossible. 4. The step response of the system showed an overshoot of 24.5 percent and the settling time for 5 percent criterion was around 3 seconds. 5. When actual field test data are utilized for load simulation, a low-pass filter should be included to attenuate the frequency components around and above the natural frequency.

The construction of a Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) is simple and also highly economical because a stator from the existing AC motor can be used. Since the synchronous inductance in the Synchronous Reluctance Motor is an element that is proportional to torque, its exact value must be experimentally or analytically found for accurate control and performance development of the motor. In this paper, direct torque control (DTC) simulation is carried out to maximize the torque of the Synchronous Reluctance Motor and the fast response characteristics with the inductance value by the Finite Element Method (FEM). The response characteristics are compared through the proposed direct torque control and torque response characteristics that are based on the existing PI Control in order to confirm the fast response features. To test the performance of the direct torque controller, the torque response is analyzed with variable speed and load condition.

The most important thing in vector control scheme is the knowledge of accurate electrical motor parameters. These parameters can computed by conventional motor test, such as no-load and locked rotor tests. However, the values from these tests are different from actual motor parameters, and the adjustment process of the parameters is time consuming. This paper presents an auto-tuning method for vector control of induction motor. The tuning algorithm is based on the rotor flux behavior of the induction motor for stepwise torque current command. The transient terminal voltage caused by the undesirable variation of the rotor flux is used for tuning the slip gain $K_5$ defined as the inverse of the rotor time constant. The electrical parameters of induction motor can also calculated by this method. The presented method is evaluated through the computer simulations.

A newly-built inverter has to undergo a series of stress tests in the final stage of production line. This can be achieved by connecting it to a dynamometer consisting of a three-phase machine joined by a rigid shaft to a DC load machine. The latter is controlled to create some specific load characteristic needed for the test. In this paper a test method is proposed, in which no mechanical equipment is needed. The suggested test stand consists only of a inverter to be tested and a simulator converter. Both devices are connected back- to-back on the AC-side via smoothing reactors. The simulator operates in real-time as an equivalent load circuit, so that the device under test will only notice the behaviour of a three-phase machine under consideration of the load. In odor to wove rightness of the suggested test method, the simulation and actural experiment rallied out emulation for a 2.2kW induction motor.
