This paper proposed a new driving method for the stable lighting of CDM lamps. To avoid the acoustic resonance in the proposed method, the inverter output voltage will be a low frequency rectangular waveform containing a sinusoidal voltage ripple with high frequency. Moreover, the realtime power control of the inverter can be achieved by the control of switching currents. To verify the validity of tile proposed method, a prototype set-up was build and the experimental results are presented in this paper.

In this paper, a new predictive control algorithm considering the parameters of series active filter has been proposed to improve the performance. By using the proposed control scheme, the current ripple drastically reduced and an improved steady state performance can be obtained. The proposed method has another advantage in the size. and cost by excluding additional passive fitters. The validity of the proposed method will be proved by the computer simulation.

In this paper, design and control of the novel SEPIC-Flyback converter(SF converter) is developed as a possible converter for fuel cell system. This output characteristic of SF converter is similar to Buck-Boost converter in that it can step-up or step-down the voltage. With the small signal equivalent circuit modeling of SF converter, control-to-output transfer function is obtained. SF converter couples up the inductive type converter to capacitive type converter with one transformer, which has less ripple current than its respective one does. To verify the validity of the proposed converter, 500W, 100kHz converter is designed and tested. ZVS switching and active clamping are also tested in practice.

This paper focuses on study on PWM converter control under unbalanced network condition. Voltage unbalance in a three-phase system causes the performance deterioration by producing 120 Hz voltage ripples in the DC link and 120 Hz ripple in reactive power. To eliminate the ripples, both positive and negative sequence currents should be controlled simultaneously. In this paper four PI controllers on synchronous reference frame is implemented to control D and Q currents in both positive and negative sequence. Positive and negative sequence signal extraction is done using delay signal cancellation method. Simulation results show satisfactory performance in suppressing 120 Hz ripples.

In this paper, we consider feedback-linearizing control of VR (Variable Reluctance) motors which have been increasingly used in high performance direct-drive applications. We characterize all torque controllers that can make the generated torque of a VR motor linear to torque command but without torque ripple. The torque controlles maximize the range of torque commands which are admissible under the physical limitation in stator currents. The whole class of all such torque controllers is parameterized in the explicit form which contains a function to be chosen freely. This free function can be used to achieve other control objectives as well as linear dynamic characteristics. As the examples for optimal choices of the free function, we actually determine two optimal free functions, one for minimal rate of change in current commands and the other for minimal power loss due to stator resistance. To illuminate further the practical use of torque controllers proposed in this paper, we present some experimental results for the case of a commercially available VR motor.

This paper presents improved performance on the speed control of Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) by using fuzzy logic speed controller. The nonlinear model of SRM is used and the motor used in experiment is a 6/4 SRM. In order to prove the superiority of the fuzzy logic controller, it is applied to make use of Matlab simulation program. And to implement the control method on the SRM drive. DSP(TMS320F240) based SRM speed controller is designed and fabricated. The simulation and experiment results show that FLC is effective in settling time maximum overshoot and torque ripple.

Direct torque control(DTC) of AC motor has the fast torque and flux dynamic responses even though it has very simple scheme to implement. DTC is also very simple in its implementation because it needs only two hysteresis comparators and switching vector table for both flux and torque control. The amplitude of hysteresis band greatly influences on the drive performance such as flux and torque ripple, switching frequency and current harmonics. Therefore, authors analysis flux and torque hysteresis bands is suggested considering switching frequency and harmonic distortion of currents.

This paper describes the design of a 2-phase stepping motor driver using CPLD(Complex Programmable Logic Device). The driver IC such as L297(SGS-Thomson Microelectronics), which is mostly used has some difficulties in PWM control because of the switching noise of power MOSFETs. It causes current ripple and acoustic noise. To improve theses characteristics, we proposed a new current control method that the output PWM frequency is almost constant using a digital filter. Also we proposed constant current method for 1-2 phase(half step) excitation. The proposed method is implemented with CPLD(Xilinx, XC9572-PC44). Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper describes advanced brushless DC motor drive without position sensor for home appliances with compressor to reduce the pulsating currents and vibration. The proposed method limits the motor currents during starting period and reduces commutation torque ripple during sensorless operating period. Experimental results show that the proposed method implemented in an inverter for a BLDC motor driven compressor considerably reduces not only the pulsating currents but also vibration of the home appliances.

A new speed detection method using low resolution incremental encoders, especially excellent in the low speed region and in the transient state, is proposed. The half period error of an incremental encoder is greater than the period error. So it's not recommended to quadruple the number of pulses per revolution, because it increase the ripple of speed. To overcome this restriction a speed detection, method has been proposed. But it requires so many latch circuits. Therefore we propose a new speed detection method that has different concept and has fewer latch circuits.
