Recently, photovoltaic system has been studied widely as a renewable energy system, because it does not produce environmental pollution and it has infinity energy source from the sun. A study on photovoltaic system has a lot of problems like as reappearance and repetition of some situation in the laboratory experiment for development of MPPT algorithm and islanding detection algorithm. because output characteristics of solar cell are varied by irradiation and surface temperature of solar cell. Therefore, the assistant equipment which emulates the solar cell characteristics which can be controlled arbitrarily by researcher is require to the researchers for reliable experimental data. In this paper, the virtual implement of solar cell (VISC) system is proposed to solve these problems and to achieve reliable experimental result on photovoltaic system. VISC system emulates the solar cell output characteristics, and this system can substitute solar cell in laboratory experiment system. To realize the VISC, mathematical model of solar cell is studied for driving converter and the DC/DC converters are compared in viewpoint of tracking error using computer simulation. Output dynamic characteristic of PV array is varied by irradiation and PWM converter performance is studied using PSIM simulator.

We solve the integral representation of the Navier-Stokes equations in a lagrangian view by tracking the particles, which have vortex strengths. We simulate the unsteady viscous flow around an impulsively started cylinder using the vortex particle method. Particles are advanced via the Biot-Savart law for a lagrangian evolution of particles. The particle strength is modified based on the scheme of particle strength exchange. The solid boundary satisfies the no-slip boundary condition by the vorticity generation algorithm. We newly modify the diffusion scheme and the boundary condition for simulating an unsteady flow efficiently. To save the computation time, we propose the mixed scheme of particle strength exchange and core expansion. We also use a lot of panels to ignore the curvature of the cylinder, and not to solve the evaluation of the surface density. Results are compared to those from other theoretical and experimental works.

In the construction industry, concrete polishing is used to grind and rub the surface of concrete grounds with polishing machines to increase the strength of the concrete after deposition. Polishing is performed manually in spite of the generation of dust and the requirement of frequent replacements of the polishing pad. The concrete polishing robot developed in this research is a novel polishing automation system for preventing the workers from being exposed to poor working environments. This robot is able to change multiple polishing tools automatically; however, the workers can conveniently replace the worn-out polishing pads with new ones. The mobile platform of the polishing robot employs omnidirectional wheels to enable a flexible motion even in small and complicated workspaces. To evaluate the performance of the developed concrete polishing robot, extensive experiments including square trajectory tracking, automatic tool changing, actual polishing, and path generation simulation were performed.

A simultaneous measurement system that can analyze the flow-structure interaction has been developed. This system consists of four CCD cameras, two for capturing instantaneous flow fields and two for tracking a solid body. The three-dimensional vector fields around a cylinder are measured, while the motion of the cylinder forced by the flow field is measured, simultaneously, with the constructed system. The cylinder is suspended in the working fluid of a water channel, and the surface of the working fluid is forced sinusoidally to make the cylinder bounced. Reynolds number for the mean main stream is about 3500. The interaction between the flow fields and the cylinder motion is examined quantitatively.

In this paper, optical tracking and analysis was carried out to find the optical properties with respect to various geometric design parameters of collimator lens which is very efficient when collect the light. As a result, a whole, ellipse incident part can obtain a high light efficiency and a narrow beam angle, and angled cylinder incident part is confirmed to obtain high efficiency and a narrow beam angle at a certain height or more. When Transmission part have a specific surface which can reflect the light in forward direction, a good optical properties was confirmed.

A number of algorithm using the VSS(Variable Structure System) for uncertain dynamic system are developed. But, in these algorithms, the assumption that the uncertainties are bounded and their bounds are available to the designer is involved. And bounds on the uncertainties are an important clue to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system. However, sometimes bounds on the uncertainties may not be easily obtained because of the complexity of the structure of the uncertainties. Therefore, a methodology by which the boundary values on the uncertainties can be easily obtained is required. The VSS proposed in this proposal employ the new adaptive VSS scheme for uncertain dynamic system being estimated on line. The resulting control law is simple and easy to apply to on line computer control. It can also suppress chattering and maintain good tracking precision even if unmodeled dynamics are considered. And, a new method using nonlinear switching surface is introduced so that the speed response is improved and the good transient response can be obtained. Simulation results are presented and show the advantage of the proposed adaptive VSS with nonlinear switching surfaces.

This paper presents a vector control implementation for SPMSM(Surface-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) using dSPACE 1104 system and MATLAB/SIMULINK. SPMSM can be treated as a DC motor provided that currents of flux and torque component are controlled independently using vector control. Therefore various control algorithms for conventional DC motor control can be adopted to SPMSM. The system is designed to improve set-point tracking capability, fast response, and accuracy. In This paper, d-q equivalent modeling of PMSM is derived based on vector control theory. The PI controller is used for speed control and state feedback PI current control method is used for current control. For the implementation of high performance vector control system, dSPACE 1104 system is used. Simulations and experiments were carried out to examine validity of the proposed vector control implementation.

This paper presents a hybrid actuator scheme to actively control the end-point position and vibration of a two-link flexible robot arm. Control scheme consists of four different actuators; two servo-motors at the hubs and two piezoceramics bonded to the surfaces of the flexible links. Two sliding hyperplanes are designed for two servo-motors which have time varying parameters to maintain control performance in any configuration. The surface gradients of the hyperplanes are determined by pole assignment technique to guarantee the stability on the hyperplanes themselves. During the motion, undesirable oscillations caused by the torques based on the rigid link dynamics are actively suppressed by applying feedback control voltages to the piezoceramic actuators. Consequently, desired tip motion is achieved. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, experiments are performed for the regulating and tracking control problems.

This paper presents a robust-optimal control strategy to improve the output-voltage error-tracking and control capability of a DC-DC boost converter. The proposed strategy employs an optimized Fractional-order Proportional-Integral (FoPI) controller that serves to eliminate oscillations, overshoots, undershoots and steady-state fluctuations. In order to significantly improve the error convergence-rate during a transient response, the FoPI controller is augmented with a pre-stage nonlinear error-modulator. The modulator combines the variations in the error and error-derivative via the signed-distance method. Then it feeds the aggregated-signal to a smooth sigmoidal control surface constituting an optimized hyperbolic secant function. The error-derivative is evaluated by measuring the output-capacitor current in order to compensate the hysteresis effect rendered by the parasitic impedances. The resulting modulated-signal is fed to the FoPI controller. The fixed controller parameters are meta-heuristically selected via a Particle-Swarm-Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The proposed control scheme exhibits rapid transits with improved damping in its response which aids in efficiently rejecting external disturbances such as load-transients and input-fluctuations. The superior robustness and time-optimality of the proposed control strategy is validated via experimental results.

One of the most promising emerging technologies for the next generation of nonvolatile memory devices based on resistive switching (RS) is the resistive random-access memory mechanism. To date, RS effects have been found in many transition metal oxides. However, no clear evidence has been reported that ZnO-based resistive transition mechanisms could be associated with strong correlation effects. Here, we investigated N, F-co-doped ZnO (NFZO), which shows bipolar RS. Conducting micro spectroscopic studies on exposed surfaces helps tracking the behavioral change in systematic electronic structural changes during low and high resistance condition of the material. The significant difference in electronic conductivity was observed to attribute to the field-induced oxygen vacancy that causes the metal-insulator Mott transition on the surface. In this study, we showed the strong correlation effects that can be explored and incorporated in the field of multifunctional oxide electrons devices.
