Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) can be largely divided into the passive-standby, line-interactive and double-conversion methods. This paper proposes a double-conversion UPS with a low cost and high performance. This single phase UPS uses a single-loop robust voltage controller and 1-switch voltage doubler strategy PFC. The proposed UPS is composed of a single phase PFC, a half-bridge inverter, a battery charger and a battery discharger. Finally, the validity of proposed UPS was verified by various experimental tests.

This paper describes a novel burst-mode clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit which can be used for 622Mbps burst mode applications. The CDR circuit is basically a phase locked loop (PLL) having two phase detectors (PDs), one for the reference clock and the other for the NRZ data, whose operations are controlled by an external control signal. This CDR was fabricated in a 1-poly 5-metal $0.25{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology. Jitter generation, burst/continuous mode data receptions were tested. Operational frequency range is 320Mhz~720Mhz and BER is less than 1e-12 for PRBS31 at 622Mhz. For the same data sequence, the extracted clock jitter is less than 8ps rms. Power consumption of 100mW was measured without I/O circuits.

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.

As passive safety features for nuclear power plants receive increasing attention, various studies have been conducted to develop safety systems for 3rd-generation (GEN-III) nuclear power plants that are driven by passive systems. The Passive Auxiliary Feedwater System (PAFS) is one of several passive safety systems being designed for the Advanced Power Reactor Plus (APR+), and extensive studies are being conducted to complete its design and to verify its feasibility. Because the PAFS removes decay heat from the reactor core under transient and accident conditions, it is necessary to evaluate the heat removal capability of the PAFS under hypothetical accident conditions. The heat removal capability of the PAFS is strongly dependent on the heat transfer at the condensate tube in Passive Condensation Heat Exchanger (PCHX). To evaluate the model of heat transfer coefficient for condensation, the Multi-dimensional Analysis of Reactor Safety (MARS) code is used to simulate the experimental results from PAFS Condensing Heat Removal Assessment Loop (PASCAL). The Shah model, a default model for condensation heat transfer coefficient in the MARS code, under-predicts the experimental data from the PASCAL. To improve the calculation result, The Thome model and the new version of the Shah model are implemented and compared with the experimental data.

본 논문에서는 빠른 Acquisition time을 갖는 새로운 구조의 수동형 광 통신망에서 쓰이는 버스트 모드 수신기용 622Mbps급 클럭/데이터 복원회로를 제안하고, 이를 구현하였다. 제안된 회로는 CDR(Clock and Data Recovery) 블록과 PLL(Phase Locked Loop) 블록으로 나뉘며, CDR 블록은 클럭이 입력 데이터에 연동되어 지터가 내제된 입력 데이터에도 항상 최적의 샘플링 시점을 갖도록 설계하였다. PLL블록은 Multi-phase generation VCO를 통해 위상이 서로 다른 8개의 클럭을 CDR블록에 제공한다. 제안된 회로는 $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계 및 레이아웃을 하였고, 시뮬레이션을 위해 $2^7-1$ PRBS 입력데이터를 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 Peak-to-Peak 지터는 17ps의 복원된 데이터 지터 특성을 가지며, 입력된 데이터는 손실 없이 복원하는 것을 확인하였다.

Purpose: In order to improve road-friendliness of heavy vehicles, a fuzzy hybrid control strategy consisting of a hybrid control strategy and a fuzzy logic control module is proposed. The performance of the proposed strategy should be effectively evaluated using a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation model of a semi-active suspension system based on the fuzzy hybrid control strategy prior to real vehicle implementations. Methods: A hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation system was synthesized by utilizing a self-developed electronic control unit (ECU), a PCI-1711 multi-functional data acquisition board as well as the previously developed quarter-car simulation model. Road-friendliness of a semi-active suspension system controlled by the proposed control strategy was simulated via the HIL system using Dynamic Load Coefficient (DLC) and Dynamic Load Stress Factor (DLSF) criteria. Results: Compared to a passive suspension, a semi-active suspension system based on the fuzzy hybrid control strategy reduced the DLC and DLSF values. Conclusions: The proposed control strategy of semi-active suspension systems can be employed to improve road-friendliness of road vehicles.

This paper presents the digital implementation of an optimal and robust VSS controller with sliding observer. Firstly, a discrete-time VSS control law which enables the system state to move into a sliding sector where the closed-loop system is stable is designed. Then optimal control theory is used to design an optimal sliding sector. Secondly, a sliding observer which provide robust state estimation against model-plant mismatches due to parameter uncertainties is designed for the sampled-data multivariable systems. Finally, modified sliding observer which effectively reduce chattering of state variables in state estimation was proposed. The proposed scheme was applied 10 a two degree of freedom inverted pendulum with passive joint to verify robust motion control. Computer simulation results confirm the viability of the proposed observer-based controller.

The trailer system offers efficiency of transportation capability. However, it is difficult to control the backward motion. It is an open loop unstable problem. To solve this problem, we are proposed the driver assistance system. Driver assistance system assists a driver to control the backward motion of trailer system as if forward motion. A driver only secure the rear view of last passive trailer, and select the control input to drive the last passive trailer. The driver assistance system converts the control input of the driver into velocity and steering angle of the vehicle using the inverse kinematics. It is possible by electronic control input devices and the rear view camera. Effectiveness of driving assistance system is verified by the simulation and the experiments.

A design of a highly stable current-controlled power supply combining the phase-controlled rectifier (PCR), passive filter and active filter is investigated. A digital phase-looked voltage control (PLVC) with a capability of compensating the thyristor firing angles under unvalanced power source is proposed` otherwise the PCR output voltage has low-order subharmonics whose suppression requires a bulky passive filter. The digital PLVC has a fast dynamic characteristics as an inner control loop of the PCR. To suppress further the output ripple, an active filter using a transformer is introduced and its design is described through the frequency domain analysis. An optimal integral, proportional and measurable variable feedback (IPM) controller is designed using the time-weighted performance index based on the time domain analysis. The design method based on the time-weighted performance index gives better response characteristics than that based on the conventional performance index. It is also shown via experimental results that the proposed scheme gives better response characteristics than that based on the conventional performance index. It is also shown via experimental results that the proposed scheme gives good dynamic and static performances.

Passive noise reduction is a classical approach to attenuate industrial noise. But Active noise cancellation has several advantages over the passive noise cancellation. Such a system offers a better low frequency performance with a smaller and lighter system. This paper presents an active closed loop control system which consists of an controller for inverting and compensating the phase delay, an microphone for picking up the external noise, and loudspeaker for radiating the acoustic anti-phase signal to reduce external noise. The noise in the phase delay covered from 80$^{\circ}$ to 270$^{\circ}$ tends to be reduced. The degree of noise cancellation obtainable with this system reaches value about 17㏈.
