To improve the performance of sensorless induction motor (IM) drives, a novel speed estimation method based on the real-time adaptive extended Kalman filter (RAEKF) is proposed in this paper. In this algorithm, the fuzzy factor is introduced to tune the measurement covariance matrix online by the degree of mismatch between the actual innovation and the theoretical. Simultaneously, the fuzzy factor can be continuously self-tuned tuned by the fuzzy logic reasoning system based on Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model. Therefore, the proposed method improves the model adaptability to the actual systems and the environmental variations, and reduces the speed estimation error. Furthermore, a simple exponential function based on the fuzzy theory is used to reduce the computational burden, and the real-time performance of the system is improved. The correctness and the effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by the simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents a stability analysis of AC-DC power system feeding a speed controlled DC motor in which this load behaves as a constant power load (CPL). A CPL can significantly degrade power system stability margin. Hence, the stability analysis is very important. The DQ and generalized state-space averaging methods are used to derive the mathematical model suitable for stability issues. The paper analyzes the stability of power systems for both speed control natural frequency and DC-link parameter variations and takes into account controlled speed motor dynamics. However, accurate DC-link filter and DC motor parameters are very important for the stability study of practical systems. According to the measurement errors and a large variation in a DC-link capacitor value, the system identification is needed to provide the accurate parameters. Therefore, the paper also presents the identification of system parameters using the adaptive Tabu search technique. The stability margins can be then predicted via the eigenvalue theorem with the resulting dynamic model. The intensive time-domain simulations and experimental results are used to support the theoretical results.

In this paper, we designed a current controlling servo system for speed control of a PMSM. In existing auto-tuning methods for PI controller parameters, the output response is delayed and the overshoot is generated. By solving these existing problems in this paper, a new PI auto-tuning method is applied to the speed controller for fast-response and reduced overshoot. PMSM servo systems offer a great advantage in unmanned factories where a great number of servo motors are employed, because of its easy maintenance characteristics and controllability. The implemented servo system is composed of absolute position detecting circuits of a rotor, a new auto-tuning PI control algorithm, a speed controller by using DSP, and power driving section. The proposed servo system is verified for it's practical availability by considering experimental results.

SRM has not been put into practical applications widely because of its large torque ripple, acoustic noise and low power factor. In addition, a traditional position sensor is needed for the drive control. So we propose an improved sensorless drive method of Switched Reluctance Motors using impressed voltage pulses. Conventional impressed voltage pulse method has a problem of phase delay because of low-pass filter. So in this paper we propose an unproved sensorless driving method based on the impressed voltage pulse using new pulse-shift circuit technique that overcomes the phase delay and start-up problem. Proposed method is implemented in a simple analog circuit instead of using an expensive DSP.

This paper describes on a position detection method for the motors which have repetitive operations using the Algorithmic State Machine(ASM), one of the digital logic design methods. With analyses for the incremental encoder output patterns, state diagram and state table are constructed and a digital circuit which can detect the changing point of direction of motor rotation is designed. To verify the validity of the designed circuit, simulations for all cases in which the direction of motor rotation is changed, are performed. Simulation results show the designed digital circuit can detect the direction of motor rotation accurately for all cases.

본 논문에서는 고압 대전력 3상 유도전동기의 고정자 권선을 이용한 전압원 인버터의 병렬운전 방식을 제안한다. 현재 사용되고 있는 대부분의 4극 이상 대전력 유도전동기는 각 상의 권선이 외부에서 접근이 가능하도록 외부단자가 설치되어 있으며, 이들 외부단자를 이용하여 복수대의 전압원 인버터를 병렬운전하여 대전력 유도전동기를 구동할 수 있다. 이와 같이 고압 대전력 유도전동기를 복수 개의 전압원 인버터를 병렬 운전하여 구동할 경우, 특정 인버터의 고장발생 시 비록 구동 토크는 감소될지라도, 나머지 인버터로 시스템을 계속 구동할 수 있어 시스템의 고장대처능력을 향상시킬 수 있다. 또한 병렬 운전되고 있는 각 인버터의 스위칭 동작에 대해 서로 위상 차를 갖게 함으로서, 등가 스위칭 주파수를 증가시켜 출력 토크 리플 감소와 입력 전류 리플 감소, DC Link 커패시터의 크기 감소와 같은 좋은 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 각 인버터로의 전력의 분산에 의해 시스템에서 발생하는 EMI 영향을 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 방식을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 특성을 증명하였다.

As South Korean large business groups, also known as Chaebol, have broadened their influence in the domestic economy, it is important to analyze the influence of internal transactions among Chaebol affiliates on their performance. In this paper, relationship between internal transactions and efficiency of Chaebol affiliates has been analyzed. Top five Chaebol groups in South Korea are selected; they include Samsung, Hyundai Motors, LG, SK, and Lotte group. Based on internal transactions among affiliates, social networks are constructed for each Chaebol group to analyze centrality, network structures and cliques. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was conducted to examine the efficiency of the Chaebol affiliates. Then, correlations between the degree centrality and the efficiency of Chaebol affiliates were analyzed, and the network structures of Chaebol groups are presented. The result shows that positive correlations between degree centrality and efficiency are observed among four Chaebol Groups. This paper shows that the Social Network Analysis (SNA) techniques can be used in the empirical research for the analysis of internal transactions of Chaebol groups.

A 1MW class superconductng synchronous motor is designed considering several conditions such as superconducting wire length, machine efficiency and size. As the machine is larger and larger, the superconducting machine shows the advantages more and more over the conventional machines. Although the advantages at 1MW rating are not so great, the design approach to get an appropriate result would be very helpful for larger superconducting synchronous machine design. Major design concerns are focused on reducing expensive Bi-2223 HTS(High Temperature Superconducting) wire which is used for superconducting field coil carrying the rating current around 30K($-243^{\circ}C$) while the machine efficiency is higher than conventional motors or generators with the same rating. Furthermore, some iron cored structure is considered to reduce the HTS wire requirement without bad effect on machine performances such as sinusoidal armature voltage waveform, synchronous reactance and so on.

In this paper the space voltage vector pulsewidth modulation(SVPWM) technique for two-phase inverter is proposed. The two-phase SVPWM technique is applicable to two-phase induction motor drives. The two-phase inverter using two-phase SVPWM technique cannot generate zero voltage vectors, but four space vectors. A reference voltage vector in the square locus is realized by adjusting four space vectors. The switching sequence "two-phase symmetrical modulation" used in two-phase SVPWM is proposed. Practical verification of theoretical predictions is presented to conform the capabilities of the new technique.technique.

This paper presents the application of a single phase AC-to-DC converter using a three-phase series parallel (SPRC) resonant converter to variable speed dc-drive. The improved power quality converter gives the input power factor unity over a wide speed range, reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of ac input supply current, and makes very low ripples in the armature current and voltage waveform. This soft-switching converter not only possesses the advantages of achieving high switching frequencies with practically zero switching losses but also provides full ranges of voltage conversion and load variation. The proposed drive system is the most appropriate solution to preserve the present separately excited de motors in industry compared with the use of variable frequency ac drive technology. The simulation and experimental results are presented for variable load torque conditions. The variable frequency control scheme is implemented using a DSP- TMS320LF2402. This control reduces the switching losses and current ripples, eliminates the EMI and improves the efficiency of the drive system. Experimental results confirm the consistency of the proposed approach.
