Hybrid simulation (HS) is a versatile tool for structural performance evaluation under dynamic loads. Although real structural responses are often multiple-directional owing to an eccentric mass/stiffness of the structure and/or excitations not along structural major axes, few HS in this field takes into account structural responses in multiple directions. Multi-directional loading is more challenging than uni-directional loading as there is a nonlinear transformation between actuator and specimen coordinate systems, increasing the difficulty of suppressing loading error. Moreover, redundant actuators may exist in multi-directional hybrid simulations of large-scale structures, which requires the loading strategy to contain ineffective loading of multiple actuators. To address these issues, lately a new strategy was conceived for accurate reproduction of desired displacements in bi-directional hybrid simulations (BHS), which is characterized in two features, i.e., iterative displacement command updating based on the Jacobian matrix considering nonlinear geometric relationships, and force-based control for compensating ineffective forces of redundant actuators. This paper performs performance validation and application of this new mixed loading strategy. In particular, virtual BHS considering linear and nonlinear specimen models, and the diversity of actuator properties were carried out. A validation test was implemented with a steel frame specimen. A real application of this strategy to BHS on a full-scale 2-story frame specimen was performed. Studies showed that this strategy exhibited excellent tracking performance for the measured displacements of the control point and remarkable compensation for ineffective forces of the redundant actuator. This strategy was demonstrated to be capable of accurately and effectively reproducing the desired displacements in large-scale BHS.

This paper presents interleaved bi-directional LDC(Low DC-DC converter) with soft-switching for 48V system of Mild-HEV(Hybrid Electric Vehicles). The proposed LDC is composed of interleaved bi-directional converter and small resonant inductor and capacitors. Comparing the conventional converter, the proposed LDC improves the problem of switching loss by employing soft-switching. In this paper, mode analysis is described in detail for operating the soft-switching. The proposed LDC is verified by PSIM simulation.

An inverter system which consists of three bi-directional buck-boost converters, is proposed for motor driving. Three phase sinusoidal output voltages can be generated by utilizing three buck-boost converters. The advantage of this scheme is that it does not require a separate DC-DC converter for motor driving, i.e. inverter function is combined into the three DC-DC converters. This topology is suitable for inverters for hybrid or fuel cell vehicles where DC link voltage is subject to change depending upon charging status or output power. So the proposed system is capable of driving motor at high speed. The converter system is controlled by PI controller and simulation results done by MATLAB SIMULINK are provided.Ҙ?⨀ሉȀ̀㘰々K䍄乍?ጊ츀Ѐ㔹〻Ԁ䭃䑎䴀

Fuel cell power system is one of the most promising energy source for the alternative energy because it has unique advantages such as high energy density, no power drop during operation, and feasible to make compact size. However, due to very low response time, fuel cell is difficult to correspond to drastic load changes and start-up operation. For solving these problem, fuel cell power system must include energy storage device such as Li-Poly battery or super capacitor. Therefore, bi-directional DC-DC converter must be required for this storage device and fuel cell-PCS control. This paper presents a design and modeling of the bi-directional DC/DC converter. Firstly, we present modeling the boost and buck mode of the bi-directional converter through both PWM switch model and state space averaging technique. Secondly, in order to minimize output ripple and transient response overshoot, we have two identical DC-DC converters interleaved and adopt two-loop voltage-current controller. The proposed bi-directional DC-DC converter's modeling method and control design have been verified with computer simulation and experimentation.

In recent years, technology for storing a preliminary power or a surplus of photovoltaic energy is required. This technique, as well as store a preliminary energy and improve the reliability of the gird safety. This system can plan a efficient power generation through the flexibility of the power supply from the perspective of not only provider but also user. Accordingly, the realization of the smart grid can be expected. This paper proposes a hybrid PCS using a photovoltaic and a lithium-polymer battery with the characteristics of high density energy. The main energy source of a hybrid PCS is a photovoltaic, grid and the auxiliary energy source is a lithium-polymer battery. The operation of a proposed system in this paper is verified with simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, we propose a multicast routing protocol for the seamless delivery of multicast data to mobile hosts through the optimal route in IP based mobile networks. The proposed multicast routing protocol is a hybrid method employing the merits of the bi-directional tunneling and the remote subscription by considering the mobility of mobile hosts. The proposed protocol satisfies the bound of end-to-end delay and supports the seamless handoff. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better performance in the number of multicast tree reconstruction and tunneling length and packet loss time than the previous protocols.

In this paper, we propose a modulation scheme for a network-coded bi-directional relaying (NBR) system over an asymmetric channel, which means that the qualities of the relay channel (the link between the BS and RS) and access channel (the link between the RS and MS) are not identical. The proposed scheme employs a dual constellation in such a way that the RS broadcasts the network-coded symbols modulated by two different constellations to the MS and BS over two consecutive transmission intervals. We derive an upper bound on the average bit error rate (BER) of the proposed scheme, and compare it with the hybrid constellation-based modulation scheme proposed for the asymmetric bi-directional link. Furthermore, we investigate the channel utilization of the existing bi-directional relaying schemes as well as the NBR system with the proposed dual constellation diversity-based modulation (DCD). From our simulation results, we show that the DCD gives better average BER performance about 3.5~4dB when $E_b/N_0$ is equal to $10^{-2}$, while maintaining the same spectral efficiency as the existing NBR schemes over the asymmetric bi-directional relaying channel.

In this paper, we propose a multicast routing scheme for an efficient and reliable support of multicast service to mobile hosts in IPv6 based networks. The purpose of this paper is to develop an algorithm to reduce both the number or multicast tree reconstruction and the multicast service disrupt time. The proposed multicast routing scheme is a hybrid method using the advantages of the bi-directional tunneling and the remote subscription proposed by the IETF Mobile IP working group. The proposed scheme satisfies the maximum tolerable transfer delay time and supports the maximum tunneling service. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better performance in the number of multicast tree reconstruction and the time of multicast service disrupt than the previous schemes does.

The objective of an echo canceller connected to any end of a communication line such as digital subscriber line (DSL) is to compensate the outgoing transmit signal in the receiving path that the hybrid circuit leaks. The echo canceller working in a full duplex environment is an adaptive system driven by the local signal. Conventional echo canceller that implement the least mean square (LMS) algorithm provides a low computational burden but poor convergence properties. The length of the echo canceller will directly affect both the degree of performance and the convergence speed of the adaptation process. To cancel long time-varying echoes, the number of tap coefficients of a conventional echo canceller must be large, which decreases the convergence speed of the adaptive filter. This paper proposes an alternative technique for the echo cancellation in a telecommunication channel. The new technique employs the bi-directional least mean square (LMS) algorithm for adaptively computing the optimal set of the coefficients of the echo canceller, which is composed of weighted combination of both feedforward and feedback algorithms. Finally, Simulation results as well as mathematical analysis demonstrates that the proposed echo canceller has faster convergence speed than the conventional LMS echo canceller with nearly equivalent complexity of computation.
