본 논문에서는 태양에너지 하베스팅을 위한 자가발전 아두이노 시스템을 설계하고 이의 동작을 설명한다. 이를 위해서 아두이노 시스템이 시시각각 변하는 태양에너지의 양을 센싱하고 이에 따라서 active mode와 sleep mode의 동작 시간의 비율을 스스로 조정해서 주어진 태양 빛의 세기에 대해서 최적으로 동작할 수 있는 동작 조건을 스스로 찾아가는 방법을 설명하고 이의 동작을 검증한다. 본 논문에서 개발한 active mode와 sleep mode의 동작 시간의 비율의 자가 조절을 통해서 태양 빛의 세기가 충분히 강할 경우에는 아두이노 시스템이 active mode로 지속적으로 구동되고, 태양광으로부터 전력을 충분히 공급받을 수 없는 경우 sleep mode를 사용하여 전력 소모를 최소화한다. 그 결과 active mode를 지속적으로 구동하는 것에 비해 sleep mode를 사용하는 경우 전력 소모를 최대 81.7% 줄여 에너지 소비를 최소화할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 빛의 세기가 중간 수준일 때에는 active mode와 sleep mode의 비율을 빛의 세기에 맞게 적정하게 배분하여 동작하게 한다. 본 논문에서 제안한, 스스로 active mode와 sleep mode의 동작 시간 비율을 조절하는 방법은 특히 높은 전력 소비 효율 특성이 필요한 웨어러블 및 바이오-헬스용 자가발전 시스템을 에너지 효율적으로 동작시킬 때에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

A fuzzy-sliding mode controller is presented to control the dynamics of semi-active suspension systems of vehicles using magneto-rheological (MR) fluid dampers. A full car model is used to design and evaluate the performance of the proposed semi-active controlled suspension system. Four mixed mode MR dampers are designed, manufactured, and integrated with four independent sliding mode controllers. The siding mode controller is designed to decrease the energy consumption and maintain robustness. In order to overcome the chattering of the sliding mode controllers, a fuzzy logic control strategy is merged into the sliding mode controller. The proposed fuzzy-sliding mode controller is designed and fabricated. The performance of the semi-active suspensions is evaluated in both the time and frequency domains. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed fuzzy-sliding mode controller can effectively suppress the vibration of vehicles and improve their ride comfort and handling stability. Furthermore, it is shown that the "chattering" of the sliding mode controller is smoothed when it is integrated with a fuzzy logic control strategy. Although the cost function of the fuzzy-sliding mode control is a slightly higher than that of a classical LQR controller, the control effectiveness and robustness are enhanced considerably.

The conventional graphical representation of the instantaneous compensation power flow for single-phase active power filters(APFs) simply represents the active power flow and the reactive power flow which flowing between the power source and the active filter / the load. But, this method does not provide the information about the rectification mode and the compensation mode of APFs, especially, the loss for each mode was not considered at all. This is very important to understand the compensation operation characteristics of APFs. Therefore, this paper proposes the graphical representation of the instantaneous compensation power flow for single-phase APFs considering the instantaneous rectification mode and the instantaneous inversion mode. Three cases are verified in this paper - without compensation, with compensation of the active power 'p' and the fundamental reactive power 'q', and with compensation of only the distorted power 'h'. To ensure the validity of the proposed approach, PSIM simulation is achieved. As a result, we could confirm that the proposed approach was easy to explain the instantaneous compensation power flow considering the instantaneous rectification mode and the instantaneous inversion mode of APFs, also, Total Harmonic Distortion(THD)/Power Factor (P.F) and Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) analysis were compared for each case.

In this paper, a new continuous-time current-mode integrator as basic building block of the low-voltage analog current-mode active filters was proposed. Compared to the current-mode integrator which was proposed by Zele, the proposed current-mode integrator had higher unity gain frequency and output impedance in addition to lower power dissipation. And also, a current-mode third-order lowpass active filter was designed with the proposed current-mode integrator. The designed circuits were fabricated using the ORBIT's 1.2.mu.m double-poly double-metal CMOS n-well process. The experimental resutls of the active filter designed and fabricated for this research have shown that it has the performance of 44.5MHz cutoff frequency, 3.3mW power dissipation and the third-order active filter area was 0.12mm$^{2}$.

This paper propose a new active common-mode voltage damper circuit that is capable of suppressing a common-mode voltage produced in the PWM VSI. The new active common mode voltage damper is consisted of a half-bridge inverter and a common mode transformer with a blocking capacitor. Principle of the active common mode damper is as follow; by applying the compensation voltage which has the same amplitude and opposite polarity to the PWM inverter system. So, common mode voltage and high frequency leakage current can be reduced. Simulated and experimental results show that common-mode voltage damper makes contributions to reducing a high frequency leakage current and common-mode voltage.

Microgrid usually consists of a cluster of distributed generators(DGs), energy storage systems and loads, and can operate in the grid-connected mode and the islanded mode. This paper presents detailed descriptions of two different options for controlling the active power of DGs in the microgrid. One is regulating the power injected by the unit to a desired amount(Unit output power control) and the other is to regulate the flow of active power in the feeder where the unit is installed to a constant(Feeder flow control). Frequency-droop characteristics are used to achieve good active power sharing when the microgrid operates in the islanded mode. The change in the frequency and the active power output of DGs are investigated according to the control mode and the configuration of DGs when the microgrid is disconnected from the main grid. From the analysis, this paper proposes a method to determine the droop constant of DGs operating in the feeder flow control mode. Simulation results using the PSCAD/EMTDC are presented to validate the approach, which shows good performance as opposed to the conventional one.

This paper presents a disturbance accommodating sliding mode control for a quarter-car active suspension using an electro-hydraulic actuator. The electro-hydraulic actuator model is nonlinear and uncertain. The hardware constrains on the actuator prevent high gain in a sliding mode control, which deteriorates the force tracking performance. DAC(Disturbance Accommodating Control) is combined with the sliding mode control to improve the tracking performance. DAC observer estimates the pressure due to the actuator uncertainty. The additional control is designed to compensate the estimated pressure. Simulation results show the improved tracking performance with the Proposed control methods.

In this paper, a disturbance observer based sliding mode control is proposed to attenuate disturbance responses in an active magnetic bearing system, which is subject to base motion. An algorithm which decouples disturbance observation dynamics from sliding mode dynamics is suggested. This algorithm preserves the robustness of the sliding mode control and satisfies reachability condition in the presence of external disturbance and parameter uncertainties. Along with experimental results, it is shown that the proposed control is effective in disturbance rejection without any additive disturbance measurement.

Semi-active control devices have received significant attention in recent Years because they offer the adaptability of active-control devices without requiring the associated large power sources. Magnetorheological(MR) dampers are semiactive control devices that use MR fluids to produce controllable dampers. This paper applies sliding mode control method using target variation rate of Lyapunov function for the control of structures by use of MR dampers. The three-story building model under earthquake excitation is analyzed by installing a MR damper in the first-story. The performance of semi-active controllers designed by clipped-optimal algorithm and modified sliding mode control algorithm is compared to the performance of passive-type MR dampers. The results indicate that semi-active controllers achieve a greater reduction of responses than passive-type system and especially the controller by modified sliding mode control method shows a good applicability in the view of response control and control force.
