In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller(FLC) for parallel operation system of PWM converters with high performances is proposed and a PI controller is also realized to compare with the performances of the proposed FLC. The simulation and experimental results show that performances of the proposed FLC are far more excellent compared with those of PI controller, especially in points of DC voltage transient response characteristics and current control transient response characteristics at step increase of rated load. To verify the superiorities of the proposed FLC and actually apply it in industrial field, Simulation iud experimental results are provided to verify the implemented a PWM converter system with 15kw capacity in paralleled with two 7.5kW PWM converters.

A current mode PWM method applied one cycle response to averaging circuit model Buck converters is presented. The controller nonlinear PWM implement is based on the error between the switched variable and the response reference to zero each cycle. As the result, the system transfer function is derived as a function of the desired close loop poles, simplifying the design procedure and bringing forward all the important characteristics of the close loop system. The proposed controller has significant advantages over conventional current mode control methods in noise susceptibility, dynamic response and without inductor current sensing, Finally, the simulation and experiment results confirm the proposed PWM control techniques.

Conventionally, a PI control algorithm has been widely used as a speed control algorithm for BLDC motor. The PI control algorithm has a disadvantage in that is slow to reach the steady state due to the slow speed and torque response with various speed changes. Therefore, in this paper, PWM fuzzy logic control algorithm which can reach the steady state quickly by improving the response speed although there is a little overshoot is proposed. PWM reduces response speed and fuzzy logic control algorithm minimizes overshoot. The proposed PWM fuzzy logic control algorithm consists of DC chopper, PWM duty cycle regulator, and fuzzy logic controller. The performance and validity of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation with Simulink of Matlab 2018a.

Frequency response method is used to design hydraulic servo systems and improve its performance. In this study a method is proposed to get simply the frequency response of the electro-hydraulic servo system which use PWM controlled high-speed on-off valves. Firstly, the describing function of the PWM element is derived and tested. It is found that the character- istic of PWM element could be approximated to a saturation characteristic in the range of allowable frequency. And the dynamic characteristic of the valve-cylinder system could be negligible. The working characteristic of high-speed on-off valve is considered as time delay. So simulation is performed in the basis of the reconstructed block diagram. And this method is verified by experiments.

The conventional PWM method, which was used in controlling the on-off valve, such as high-speed solenoid valve, was modulating the width of the pulse applied to the valve, by selecting arbitrary sampling time and modulating the duty-ratio in proportion to the error. However, in this method, a selection of long sampling time was inevitable and it was unable to get a high accuracy and a quick response. This study is for designing an appropriate controller for high-speed solenoid valve by proposing an improved duty-ratio modulation method using the Saw-toothed Carrier Wave which enables a short sampling time selection, high accuracy of control, and a quick response. Test which was carried out in the laboratory shows that transient and steady state response could be improved by PID controller.

PWM buck converters usually use a type-III error amplifier. Since this amplifier has a big capacitor with slow slew rate, they can generate an unintended large overshoot/undershoot at the output when a large load current change occurs. They can also respond slowly by varying the reference voltage. In order to increase battery lifetime, power supplies require a various range of load current and output voltage. PWM buck converter also should have a characteristic of both fast load response and reference tracking. This paper surveys a few recent techniques for reducing the settling time, and discusses their merits and limitations.

This paper presents a control method for the performance improvement of a proportional solenoid actuator using a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal. It is very difficult to obtain excellent response performance from a proportional solenoid actuator using a simple proportional controller with no PWM signal or dither because the mass and structure of a proportional solenoid actuator changes according to the application target, friction force in the proportional solenoid tube, operating force and displacement range. To solve the above problems, first, a controller with a PWM function for experimenting with attraction force characteristics was designed and manufactured. Secondly, an experimental setup for solenoid performance measurement with a force sensor and a displacement sensor was also manufactured. The attraction force characteristics according to the frequency and duty ratio variations of a PWM signal were tested and the relationships among the frequency, duty ratio, plunger mass and friction characteristics were analyzed. Finally, response characteristics improvements for proportional solenoid actuators are discussed.

In this paper, vector control of induction motor drives using space current vector PWM is presented. The scheme gives advantages, besides robustness to inverter arm-shoot, sinusoidal input current and voltage for induction motors. In addition, space vector PWM for CSI produces faster transient response than conventional pattern PWM. Also, a modulation index control is proposed.

This paper proposes the feedforward compensation method of output voltage with 3phase AC/DC PWM converter on DC distribution system for improved response. AC/DC PWM converter on DC distribution is required power supply of high quality because of renewable energy sources and load links. In general, Feedforward compensation method of 3phase AC/DC PWM converter receives the sensor input to the output current, load power. Resulting, error of the sensing values and communication cause time delay. Therefore, Feedforward compensation method through only the output voltage is proposed in this paper. The feedforward compensation method through only the output voltage can be applied to the two-level AC/DC PWM converters, as well as multi-level converter or inverter.

In this paper, Inverter drives adopting 2 phase space vector SRP-PWM (Separately Randomized Pulse Position PWM) with fixed switching frequency is proposed. The proposed 2 phase space vector SRP-PWM scheme is based on the 3 phase SRP-PWM. In the proposed SRP-PWM scheme, each of two phase pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. The experimental results show that the voltage and acoustic noise harmonics are spread to a wide band area. Also, the performance of the proposed 2 phase SRP-PWM and the conventional center aligned SVM are compared to each other. In result, the speed response is nearly similar to each other from the viewpoint of the v/f constant control.
