In this study, a robust controller to control pressure in a pneumatic pressure vessel considering dynamic characteristics of pneumatic transmission line is proposed. Dynamic characteristics of transmission line using compressible fluid is changed by the flowing states of the fluid. So, if the fixed gain controller is designed based on a fixed model, the performance of the control system could be destabilized or degraded. The controller designed in this study is composed of two parts. The one is to reject modelling error based on the disturbance observer, the other is to obtain the control performance. The control results with the designed controller show that the robustness of the control system is achieved regardless of the change of the model of the transmission line. Therefore, the designed controller can be utilized for the performance improvement of the pressure control system using compressible fluid such as air and gas

In wearable sensor systems (WSSs), sensor nodes are deployed around human body parts such as the arms, the legs, the stomach, and the back. These sensors have limited lifetimes because they are battery-operated. Thus, transmission power control (TPC) is needed to save the energy of sensor nodes. The TPC should control the transmission power level (TPL) of sensor nodes based on current channel conditions. However, previous TPC algorithms did not precisely estimate the channel conditions. Therefore, we propose a new TPC algorithm that uses an accelerometer to directly measure the current channel condition. Based on the directly measured channel condition, the proposed algorithm adaptively adjusts the transmission interval of control packets for updating TPL. The proposed algorithm is efficient because the power consumption of the accelerometer is much lower than that of control packet transmissions. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we implemented the proposed algorithm in real sensor devices and compared its performance against diverse TPC algorithms. Through the experimental results, we proved that the proposed TPC algorithm outperformed other TPC algorithms in all channel environments.

In this paper, a direct current control method based on a one-cycle controller (DCOCC) for double frequency buck converters (DF buck) is proposed. This control method can make the average current through the high frequency and low frequency inductors of a DF buck converter equal. This is similar to the average current control method. However, the design of the loop compensator is much easier when compared with the average current control. Since the average current though the high frequency and low frequency inductors is equivalent, the current stress of the high frequency switches and the switch losses are minimized. Therefore, the efficiency of the DF buck converter is improved. Firstly, the operation principle of DCOCC is described, then the small signal models of a one cycle controller and a DF buck converter are presented based on the state space average method. Eventually, a system block diagram of the DCOCC controlled DF buck is established and the compensator is designed. Finally, simulation and experiment results are given to verify the correction of the theory analysis.

As in most industrial processes, the dynamic characteristics of an electric power system are subject to changes. Amongst those effects which cause the system to be uncertain, faults on transmission lines are considered. For the stabilization of the power system, we present an indirect adaptive control method, which is capable of tracking a sudden change in the effective reactance of a transmission line. As the plant dynamics are nonlinear, an input-output feedback linearization method equipped with nonlinear damping terms is combined with an identification algorithm which estimates the effect of a fault. The stability of the resulting adaptive nonlinear system is investigated.

본 논문에서는 이산적인 전송률 집합을 가진 실제 시스템에서 구현 가능한 가변 전송률 제어 및 전력 제어를 결합하는 알고리즘에 대하여 연구하였다. 이와 같은 연구는 문헌 [1]에서 선택적 전력 제어 (SPC)라는 알고리즘으로 제시되었지만, 사용자의 최소 전송률 보장과 신호대 간섭비의 변화에 따라 전송률 변화가 빈번하게 발생한다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전송률 적응을 고려하여 기존의 선택적 전력 제어 방법의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 새로운 모델과 반복 연산 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 그리고 수치 해석 및 모의 실험을 통해 보다 안정되고 낮은 전송 전력으로 향상된 효율을 가짐을 증명하였다.

It proposes an efficient control algorithm to increase electric power transmission efficiency between photovoltaic power generating system and the grid. The main controller finds a maximum efficiency condition by considering the quantity of power generated from PV arrays, the number of inverters, and efficiency of PV inverter. According to the condition, a relay board arranges a point of contract of PV arrays. By the disposition of PV arrays, it assigns the optimized power on each PV inverter. Operational principle of the proposed maximum efficiency point tracking algorithm is given in detail. To verify the validity of the proposed approach, computer-aided simulation and experiment carried out.

In this, sensitivity based approach to estimate BITC(bilateral interchange transfer capacity) considering the real power flow control function of FACTS devices is presented. The real power flow setting of the FACTS devices is adjusted so that it transfers the power flow from the first violation point of transmission capacity to other transmission lines in the power system, thus allowing more power to be transferred from the specified generator bus to the specified load bus. The transfer between the two bus locations is increased from this new operating condition until a violation of transmission capacity limits occurs or until the setting of the FACTS devices can no longer be adjusted. The proposed algorithm is illustrated using examples of small and real life power system.

In this paper, a wind turbine with power splitting transmission, which is realized through a novel three-shaft planetary, is presented. The input shaft of the transmission is driven by the rotor of the wind turbine, the output shaft is connected to the grid via the main generator (asynchronous generator), and the third shaft is driven by a control motor with variable speed. The dynamic models of the sub systems of this wind turbine, e.g. the rotor aerodynamics, the drive train dynamics and the power generation unit dynamics, were given and linearized at an operating point. These sub models were integrated in a multidisciplinary dynamic model, which is suitable for control syntheses to optimize the utilization of wind energy and to reduce the excessive dynamic loads. The important dynamic behaviours were investigated and a wind turbine with a soft main shaft was recommend.

무선 센서 네트워크에서, IEEE 802.11은 센서노드간에 최대전력을 사용하여 패킷을 전송하기 때문에, 불필요한 에너지 소모가 발생한다. BASIC구조는 RTS-CTS패킷 전송에 최대 전송전력을 사용하며, 에너지 효율을 높이기 위해서 DATA-ACK전송에 최소한으로 필요한 전송전력을 사용한다. 그러나 BASIC구조는 반송파 감지지역의 노드에 의한 ACK패킷의 충돌로 인해 네트워크 수율이 떨어지며, 전력제어를 하지 않는 IEEE 802.11을 사용할 때 보다 더 높은 에너지 소모를 가진다. 기존에 제안된 PCM(Power Control MAC)구조는 ACK패킷의 충돌을 피하기 위해, 반송파 감지지역에서 DATA패킷의 전송을 감지하기 위해 주기적으로 최대 전력레벨로 DATA패킷 전송방법을 이용하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 PCM구조의 에너지 효율에 대한 문제점을 제시하고, 보다 높은 에너지 효율을 가진 개선된 PCM구조를 제안하였다.

The wireless medium is known to be time-varying which could affect and result to a poor network's performance. As a solution, an opportunistic scheduling and power control algorithm based on IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is proposed in this paper. The algorithm opportunistically exploits the channel condition for better network performance. Convex optimization problems were also formulated i.e. the overall transmission power of the system is minimized and the "net-utility" of he system is maximized. We have proven that an optimal transmission power vector may exist, satisfying the maximum power and SINR constraints at all receivers, thereby minimizing overall transmission power and maximizing net-utility of the system.
