In an attempt to minimize the air pollution caused by CO2, $NO_X$x, and $SO_X$ and the fuel cost, the auto industries and researchers recently are looking into replacing the diesel and gasoline cars with hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in electric vehicles, or battery powered electrical vehicles. This paper reports the technical status of the primary components such as batteries, motors, power control units and auxiliary parts to be used for electric vehicles.

Recently, Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(IPMSM) is widely used in the industry applications such as power train for hybrid vehicles and compressor motors of air-conditioner due to its high power density and wide speed range. There are some ways for confirming of maximum power in IPMSM. However, This paper suggests that there is a way about making sure maximum power by reducing turn numbers of armature winding. Setting up the voltage equation through the equivalent circuit and vector diagram of IPMSM first, and then estimating the parameter and power of IPMSM by changing the turn numbers of armature winding and voltage. In order to satisfy output power, the turn numbers of armature winding is changed by using the characteristic analysis, and then checking whether secure maximum power or not.

In the design and analysis of electric machines the precise calculation of iron loss has incredible significance. It is tough to foresee iron losses precisely in machines due to distribution of non sinusoidal flux density. It is necessary to approximate the iron losses for the precise computation of efficiency. This paper presents a novel approach for the prediction of iron losses of the brushless dc (BLDC) motors by considering the effects of minor hysteresis loops in the simplified model. The novel iron loss model results are compared with the simplified model and with finite element method (FEM).

In this paper, we propose vehicle running characteristic simulator. The developed simulator is configured by two induction motors which are directly coupled with each other. One motor is to simulate the vehicle drive and another motor is to simulate the vehicle dynamic load including running resistance, gradient resistance and adhesive characteristics between rail and wheel. The running characteristics of vehicle are modeled by numerical formulas. These are programed by software of embedded controller. Thus, it is possible to change several running characteristics during the running test freely and instantly. To evaluate the feasibility of the simulator, the experiments on slip and adhesion coefficient are performed. Additionally the adhesion control and speed control of vehicle are tested with simulator. Experimental results show that the simulator can produce the driving characteristics similar to the vehicle system.

에너지 효율관리제도(최저효율기준, 라벨링 제도 등)는 에너지 사용의 증대와 산업의 발달에 따른 다양한 기기들의 개발에 따라 에너지기기들의 수요가 늘어나고 있는 현실에서 기기의 수요는 감소시키지 않으면서도 에너지를 감소시킬 수 있는 가장 효과적이고 경제적인 수단으로 평가받고 있다. 이는 이산화탄소를 비롯한 온실가스의 방출을 제한하여 지구온난화를 방지하고자 하는 기후변화협약을 이행하는 데에 있어 중요한 도구가 되고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 고효율기기의 효율향상에 따른 기후변화협약에 대한 기여도 산정을 위해, 효율향상 시에 이산화탄소 절감량을 구하는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 특히 전동기 분야에 대해 사례연구를 수행하였다.

In this paper, Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy controller and search method are developed for efficiency optimization of induction motors(IMs). The proposed control scheme consists of efficiency controller and adaptive backstepping controller. A search controller for which information of input of T-S fuzzy controller is included in efficiency controller that uses a direct vector controlled induction motor. A sliding mode observer is designed to estimate rotor flux and an adaptive backstepping controller is used to control of speed of IMs. Simulation results are presented to validate the proposed controller.

Load modeling has a significant impact on power system analysis and control. Estimating model parameters can be considered as important as stability analysis itself for accurate analysis and control. This paper presents a method for estimating parameters for load models, which include static and dynamic parts, based on particle swarm optimization. The method effectively searches a suitable set of parameters minimizing the fitness function. This paper applies the method to simulation data obtained from 8-bus test system including induction motors.

In automobile, the introduction of electronically commutated motors has been accompanied by a proliferation of electronic devices. With this proliferation of electronic devices, an emphasis has been placed on EMC issues. This paper is proposed to use SRM as a radiator cooling fan in automotive applications. To drive SRM, Energy efficient C-dump converter is applied. Energy efficient C-dump converter, derived from the conventional C-dump converter, is proposed as a switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive for automotive engine cooling application. It is verified more efficient than other converters through simulation and experiments. And also SRM is valid for automotive applications that have strict EMC standards. Simulation and experimental results obtained on a laboratory prototype are finally presented to evaluate the performance.

본 논문은 로봇관절 구동 및 제어에 활용될 중공모터의 설계 및 특성해석에 대해 연구하였다. 로봇관절에 사용될 중공모터의 경우고 토크출력이 요구될 뿐만 아니라, 저속에서 제어 및 구동 신뢰성이 높은 운전특성이 요구된다. 또한 로봇 관절에 활용하기 위하여 배선처리가 간편한 중공타입의 구조가 요구된다. 따라서 우리는 로봇 구동 및 경량화가 가능하도록 유성기어와 결합이 가능한 외전형 타입의 영구자석 동기전동기의 설계 및 특성해석을 하였다. 먼저 로봇 관절에 적합하도록 FEA 기법을 이용하여 설계하였으며, 실제 시작기 모델을 제작하여 성능실험을 통해 제안된 모터의 특성을 분석하였다.

Nondestructive tests were performed on two 4.16kV motors. Epoxy-mica coupler(80pF) was connected to 4.16 kV motor stator windings. The voltage applied to the stator windings was 2.4 kV, 3.0kV, 3.5kV and 4.16kV, respectively. Digital partial discharge detector(PDD) and turbine generator analyzer(TGA) were used to measure partial discharge(PD) activity. TGA summarizes each plot with two quantities such as the normalized quantity number(NQN) and the peak PD magnitude(Qm). The PD levels in pC were measured with PDD. PD patterns of stator windings were indicated the internal discharge. PD patterns are consistent with the result of measurement using PDD and TGA.
