The thesis proposes the sensorless vector control method that estimates the rotor speed and rotor time constant at the same time using stator current. In the proposed method, stator current error in the stationary reference frame is proportional to estimated speed error, and stator current error in the synchronous reference frame is proportional to estimated rotor time constant error. The proposed method can simultaneously produce a fast speed estimation and rotor time constant estimation. Therefore, this new method offers an improvement in the performance of a sensorless vector controller. And, the superiority of the proposed method is verified by simulation.

The paper describes a robust adaptive control algorithm for induction motor drive without speed sensor at low speed range. The control algorithm use only current sensors in a space vector pulse width modulation within loop control with rotor speed estimation and voltage source inverter. On-line rotor speed estimation is based on utilizing parallel model reference adaptive control system. MRAC of the modified flux model for flux and rotor speed estimator uses dual-adaptation mechanism, ${\omega}_r$ and ${\omega}_e$ scheme. The estimated flux components in the model can be compensated from the effects of offset errors on pure integrals. It can be compensated to the parameter variations and torque fluctuation with speed estimation in less then 10 rad/sec. In a simulation, the proposed induction motor control algorithm without speed sensor at very low speed range are shown to operate very well in spite of variable rotor time constant and fluctuating load without change the controller parameters. The suggested control strategy and estimation method have been validated by simulation study, and it proposed the designed system for the implementation using TI320C31 DSP/ASIC controller.

Clock Controlled Dual keeper Domino logic structures (CCDD_1 and CCDD_2) for achieving a high-speed performance with low power consumption and a good noise margin are proposed in this paper. The keeper control circuit comprises an additional PMOS keeper transistor controlled by the clock and foot node voltage. This control mechanism offers abrupt conditional control of the keeper circuit and reduces the contention current, leading to high-speed performance. The keeper transistor arrangement also reduces the loop gain associated with the feedback circuitry. Hence, the circuits offer less delay variability. The design and simulation of various wide fan-in designs using 180 nm CMOS technology validates the proposed CCDD_1 and CCDD_2 designs, offering an increased speed performance of 7.2% and 8.5%, respectively, over a conventional domino logic structure. The noise gain margin analysis proves good robustness of the CCDD structures when compared with a conventional domino logic circuit configuration. A Monte Carlo simulation for 2,000 runs under statistical process variations demonstrates that the proposed CCDD circuits offer a significantly reduced delay variability factor.

In this paper, a sensorless pitch angle control method for a wind generation system is suggested. One-step-ahead prediction control law is adopted to control the pitch angle of a wind turbine in order for electric output power to track target values. And it is shown that this control scheme using the inverse dynamics of the controlled system enables us to predict current wind speed without an anemometer, to a considerable precision. The inverse input-output of the controlled system is realized by use of an artificial neural network. The proposed control and wind speed prediction method is applied to a Double-Feed Induction Generation system connected to a simple power system through computer simulation to show its effectiveness. The simulation results demonstrate that the suggested method shows better control performances with less control efforts than a conventional Proportional-Integral controller.

Objective of this study was to investigate the effects of all current speed on the microclimates above and inside the plug stand under artificial light. Maximum air temperature appeared near the top of the plug stand. Difference in air temperature inside the plug stand increased with the decreasing air current speed. Difference in relative humidity(DRH) to the relative humidity at the Inlet of the main air flow conditioner Inside and above the plug stand decreased with the increasing air current speed. Relative humidity inside the plug stand was 10-15% higher than that above the plug stand. DRH inside a stand of plug at air current speed of 0.3m s$^{-1}$ was about two times as many as that at air current speed of 0.9 m s$^{-1}$ . DRH inside the plug stand was 2.8-6.5% higher at LAI of 2.6 than that at LAI of 0.5. Gradient for the vapour pressure deficit was distinctly appeared at the low air current speed. Direction of vapour pressure flux is from the medium surface upwards. Difference in vapour pressure(DVPD) to the vapour pressure deficit at the inlet of the main air flow conditioner inside and above the plug stand decreased with the increasing height above the medium surface. DVPD inside the plug stand was 0.3-0.4㎪ higher at air current speed of 0.9m s$^{-1}$ than that at air current speed of 0.3m s$^{-1}$ . Results for the effects of air current speed on the relative humidity and vapour pressure deficit indicated that the microclimates above and inside the plug stand at the rear region in plug trays were slightly unfavorable compared to those at middle region.

Brushless DC Motor (BDCM) is widely used in the industry such as a variable speed motor in a compressor for room air conditioners, because the motor can be easily controlled and operated over a wide speed range. The system to drive BDCM needs encoder that senses rotor position. Gut in a certain application, the position sensor has to be avoided. In the paper, various position sensorless drive systems for BDCM are investigated and critically evaluated, so that the effective method of sensorless control can be selected. Out of these methods, the freewheeling diode current sensing has many advantages. For example, the simple starting procedure makes it possible to perform sensorless control even in low speed. So the hardware design for this method has been carried out and the system has been implemented using DSP. The experimental results verified that the freewheeling diode current sensing approach has advantages in starting procedure and low speed sensing.

The current model based sensorless method has many benefits that it can be robust control for large load torque. However, this method should determine a coefficient of back electro motive force(back-emf). This coefficient is varied by load torque and speed. Also, the coefficient determining equation is not exist, so it is determined only by experiment. On the other hands, using only back-emf estimatior method can not drive in low speed area and it has weakness in load variation. For these problems, this paper suggests the hybrid sensorless method that mixes the back-emf estimator regarding saliency and the current based sensorless model. This estimator offers not only non-necessary coefficient for current sensorless model, but also wide speed area operating in no specific transition method.

This paper proposes a control scheme of the voltage ripple suppression for the permanent magnet exciter generator. The output voltage of the permanent magnet excitation generator is affected by the field current, load current and the engine speed. The engine speed can be controlled by the governor. But, the actual frequency is changed at the starting and a sudden load variation. As a result, output voltage overshoot and undershoot can decrease the power quality in the grid system. The proposed control scheme uses a frequency factor to control the field current of the generator for the voltage ripple reduction. Because of the linkage flux is proportional to the frequency, the instantaneous frequency can consider the linkage flux. The proposed control method shows the improved control performance for the permanent magnet excitation generator through simulation.

This paper describes current controlled PWM technique of IPM synchronous motors for a wide variety of speed control applications. The IPM synchronous motors have a saliency, in which the q-axis inductance is larger than the d-axis inductance. As a consequence, there exists a reluctance torque component Thus when this component is added to the torque component produced by the stator currents and the air-gap flux, IPM motor drives are readily applicable where full torque Is required up to full or base speed. They are however limited in their ability to operate in the power limited regime where the available torque is reduced as the speed is increased above its base value. This paper reviews the operation of the IPMSM drives when they are constrained to be within the permissible envelope of maximum inverter voltage and current to produce the rated power and to provide this with the highest attainable rotor speed. The wide variety of speed control strategy is analyzed and the performance is investigated by the computer simulation using actual parameters of a drive system. Simulation results are given and discussed.
