In grid-connected voltage-source inverters (VSIs), when compared with a simple inductive L filter, the LCL filter has a better performance in attenuating the high frequency harmonics caused by the pulse-width modulation of power switches. However, the resonance peaks generated by the filter inductors and capacitors can make a system unstable. In terms of simplicity and filter design cost, a passive damping method is generally preferred. However, its high power loss and degradation in high frequency harmonic attenuation are significant demerits. In this paper, a mathematical design solution for a passive LCL filter to derive filter parameters suppressing the high frequency current harmonics to 0.3% is proposed. The minimum filter inductance can be obtained to reduce the size of the filter. Furthermore, a minimum damping resistance design considering a current controller is analyzed for a stable closed-loop system. The proposed design method is verified by experimental results using a 5-kW three-phase prototype inverter.

In this article, one of the procedures to design viscous dampers proposed in literature is applied to 3D asymmetric-plan buildings, considering different distributions for the damping coefficients, which are assumed to be proportional to specific structural or response parameters. The main purpose was to investigate the effectiveness of different vertical and in-plan distributions of the damping coefficients of nonlinear viscous dampers for the seismic retrofit of existing buildings. For comparison purposes, all the distributions were applied utilizing both a simplified and an extended method for the 3D structures, where the simplified method takes into account only the translation in the seismic direction, and the extended method considers the translations along the two orthogonal directions together with the floor rotations. The proposed distributions were then applied to a typical case study involving an asymmetric-plan six-storey RC building. The effectiveness of the different distributions was examined through time-history analyses, assuming nonlinear behaviour for both the viscous dampers and the structural elements. The results of the nonlinear dynamic analyses were examined in terms of maximum and residual inter-storey drifts, peak floor accelerations and maximum damper forces.

자유표면파 문제에서의 방사조건을 위해 두가지 기법을 적용하여 보았다. 우선, 가상감쇠의 개념을 적용하여 일정한 구간에서 파를 감쇠시킴으로써 열린경계면(open boundary)에서 반사파를 제거하는 방법을 적용하여 보았다. 또 다른 방법으로서는 Orlanski의 방법을 변형하여 적용함으로써 단방향 파동에 대한 방사조건 처리기법을 다루었다. 몇가지의 전형적인 자유표면파문제에 대해 이들 기법을 적용하여 그 유용성을 고찰하였는데, 이들 기법은 그 적용방법이 간단하고 비선형문제에서도 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 문제의 해법으로 기본 쏘오스 분포법이 사용되었고 비선형의 자유표면 경계조건이 적용되었다.

As a supplemental energy dissipation device, friction dampers are widely employed to augment the behaviour of buildings under seismic forces. In the current work, a methodology for the design of the friction damping system of RC frame buildings is offered using performance-based plastic design (PBPD) method. Here 2% of maximum interstorey drift ratio for life safety (LS) level is taken into account as a target drift to estimate the design base shear. In this approach, the distribution of friction damper is determined based on the hysteretic energy demand of that storey. Two frames, five storey three bay (5S3B) and eight storey three bay (8S3B) RC frame building with and without friction damping systems are also taken up for the investigation. The suggested design approach is validated by the nonlinear time history analysis (NLTHA) procedure. Inter story drift ratio (ISDR) and storey displacement, which are the more closely related to structural damage during seismic excitation are evaluated. The results show that the friction damping system on a retrofitted RC frame building performs effectively under seismic excitations and that storey displacement and ISDR are within the limit at moderate and high seismic intensities.

본 논문에서는 BPSK 변조 방식과 50 kbps 저속 데이터 전송모드를 사용하는 원격제어 장치의 위상잡음 스펙트럼 분포를 설계하고 제시하였다. FSK 전송 방식보다 전송 성능이 우수한 BPSK 방식을 적용할 경우, 위상잡음에 의한 열화가 발생한다. 위상잡음에 의한 열화를 최소화하기 위해서는 요구 위상잡음을 갖는 채널 환경에서 신호를 전송하는 것이 중요하다. 요구 위상잡음 환경에 적합한 채널 환경 및 단말 장치 구현을 위하여 요구 성능을 만족하는 위상잡음 스펙트럼 분포를 설계한다. 위상잡음 설계 파라미터인 감쇠 정수와 잡음 대역폭에 대한 위상잡음 영향도를 해석하고 위상잡음 스펙트럼 분포 설계 파라미터로 적용하였다. IESS-308 위상잡음 특성을 기준으로 위상잡음 영향을 분석하고, 원격제어 장치에 적합한 위상잡음 스펙트럼 분포도와 설계 방법을 제시하였다.

사용온도 및 주파수 범위를 고려할 경우 진동흡수재료로서 사용하는 폴리머는 다소 넓은 온도범위에서 높은 손실계수를 지녀야한다. IPN's은 두 개 또는 그 이상의 고분자가 상호 침투하여 망목상으로 얽혀있는 혼합계로서 강제적으로 상분리가 제한되어 어느 정도의 상용성을 부여할 수 있으므로 폭 넓은 진동흡수재료의 분자설계에 적합하다. 본 실험에서는 공중합조성이 다른 여러 가지 코폴리머를 IPN's화하여 폭 넓은 온도 범위에서 높은 손실 계수를 나타내는 고분자의 합성을 시도하였으며, 고분자의 점탄성 및 가교밀도가 적충재의 진동흡수성능에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 동력학적 측정의 결과 IPN's의 상용성은 IPN's화시키고자하는 폴리머의 상용성 및 가교밀도에 의존하는 경향을 나타내 공중합조성이 다른 코폴리머를 IPN's화시키거나, 가교밀도를 조절하면 폭넓은 진동흡수성능을 지니는 폴리머의 조제가 가능함을 시사하였다. IPN's을 적층한 복합체의 진동흡수계수는 폴리머의 E'가 대략 5$\times$$10^7$~109 dyne/$cm^2$의 범위에서 높은 손실계수를 지닌 경우 높아졌다. 특히, 3%의 DEGDM을 사용하여 함성한 poly(2-EHA80-co-St20)/poly(2-EHA20-co-St80) IPN's은 상온을 중심으로 넓은 범위에서 비교적 높은 댐핑성능을 나타내었다.

The flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) provides a new advanced technology solution to improve the flexibility, controllability, and stability of a power system. The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is outstanding for regulating power flow in the FACTS; it can control the real power, reactive power, and node voltage of distribution networks. This paper investigates the performance of the UPFC for power flow control with a series of step changes in rapid succession in a power system steady state and the response of the UPFC to distribution network faults and islanding mode. Simulation was carried out using the MATLAB's simulink sim power systems toolbox. The results, which were carried out on a 5-bus test system and a 4-bus multi-machine electric power system, show clearly the effectiveness and viability of UPFC in rapid response and independent control of the real and reactive power flows and oscillation damping [6].

The application of shunt capacitor banks and underground cables typically induces resonance in power distribution systems. In this study, the propagation of resonance in a microgrid (MG) with inverter-based distributed generators (IBDGs) is investigated. If resonances are not properly damped, then the output current of the inverters may experience distortion via resonance propagation due to the adverse effect of resonances on MG power quality. This study presents a conceptual method for identifying resonances and related issues in multi-inverter systems. For this purpose, existing resonances are identified using modal impedance analysis. However, some resonances may be undetectable when this method is used. Thus, the resonances are investigated using the proposed method based on the frequency response of a closed-loop MG equivalent circuit. After analyzing resonance propagation in the MG, an effective virtual impedance damping method is used in the IBDG control system to damp the resonances. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in compensating for existing resonances.

This paper presents unified chassis control (UCC) to improve the vehicle lateral stability. The unified chassis control implies combined control of active front steering (AFS), electronic stability control (ESC) and continuous damping control (CDC). A direct yaw moment controller based on a 2-D bicycle model is designed by using sliding mode control law. A direct roll moment controller based on a 2-D roll model is designed. The computed direct yaw moment and the direct roll moment are generated by AFS, ESP and CDC control modules respectively. A control authority of the AFS and the ESC is determined by tire slip angle. Computer simulation is conducted to evaluate the proposed integrated chassis controller by using the Matlab, simulink and the validated vehicle simulator. From the simulation results, it is shown that the proposed unified chassis control can provide with improved performance over the modular chassis control.

Incorporating the fully quantum mechanical computation of scattering cross-section and statistical moment analysis of absorption profiles, we investigate the Lyman line asymmetry of extremely high column density systems. Recent high redshift observations detected strong damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs) whose column density is larger than N_HI ~ [10]^21.3 cm^(-2). Absorption profiles of these DLAs are characterized by the broad and asymmetric damping wing. For accurate description of radiation damping, the second-order time-dependent perturbation theory is adopted. To quantitatively address line asymmetry, we define a distribution function for each Lyman line, and compute statistical moments (mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis) regarding column densities N_HI > [10]^18 cm^(-2). In this work, we present statistical properties of the intrinsic line profiles, and compare them with the Lorentzian cases.
