In this paper, the PSC PWM method is chosen as the optimal modulation method for a 20MW VSC HVDC, with consideration of the harmonic distortion of the output voltage, the switching frequency, and the control implementation difficulty. In addition, a new PSC PWM method is proposed in order to achieve an easy application and to solve the redundant control problems encountered in the previous PSC PWM method. To verify the proposed PSC PWM method, PSCAD/EMTDC simulations for an 11-level MMC RTDS HILS test and an 11-level MMC prototype converter test were performed. As can be seen from the results of these tests, the proposed PSC PWM method shows good results in an 11-level MMC with redundant sub-modules.

This paper is studied on a novel buck-boost isolated converter for high efficiency and high power factor. The switching devices in the proposed converter are operated by soft switching technique using a new quasi-resonant circuit, and are driven with discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) according to pulse width modulation (PWM). The quasi-resonant circuit makes use of a step up-down inductor and a loss-less snubber capacitor. The proposed converter with DCM also simplifies the requirement of control circuit and reduces a number of control components. The input ac current waveform in the proposed converter becomes a quasi sinusoidal waveform in proportion to the magnitude of input ac voltage under constant switching frequency. As a result, it is obtained by the proposed converter that the switching power losses are low, the efficiency of the converter is high, and the input power factor is nearly unity. The validity of analytical results is confirmed by some simulation results on computer and experimental results.

This paper proposes a method for comparing and evaluating anti-windup proportional-integral (PI) control strategies. The so-called PI plane is used and its coordinate is composed of the error and the integral state. In addition, an anti-windup PI controller with integral state prediction is proposed. The anti-windup scheme can be easily analyzed and evaluated on the PI plane in detail. Representative anti-windup methods are experimentally applied to the speed control of a vector-controlled induction motor driven by a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage-source inverter (VSI). The experimental results compare the anti-windup PI controllers. It is empathized that the initial value of the integral state at the beginning of the linear range dominates the control performance in terms of overshoot and settling time.

In this paper, we develop the intelligent digitally redesigned fuzzy controller for nonlinear systems. Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model is used to model the nonlinear systems and a continuous-time fuzzy-model-based controller is designed based on the extended parallel-distributed-compensation(EPDC) method . The digital controllers are determined from existing analogue controllers. The proposed method provides an accurate and effective method for digital control of continuous-time nonlinear systems and enables us to efficiently implement a digital controller via the pre-determined continuous-time 75 fuzzy-model-based controller. We have applied the proposed method to the duffing forced oscillation system to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

A fast tool servo (FTS) for diamond turning improves machining accuracy by quickly compensating relative position errors between the cutter and the workpiece. Therefore, the FTS needs to have large band-width with good tracking performance. Serious hysteresis nonlinearity of PZT actuators used in the FTS, however, deteriorates fast tracking performance. Several types of feedforward hysteresis compensators and feedback controllers are tested to improve tracking performance. Through simulations and experiments, control structure which yields the smallest tracking error is selected. The maximum peak to peak error in tracking a sinusoidal waveform is reduced by one fifth compared to that of a regular PID controller.

In this paper, a speed estimation based on the quick torque control is proposed to realize speed sensorless control in a full range of induction motors. The proposed method can be formulated simply from a motor circuit equation and conducted easily by detecting primary motor currents and a voltage command at every sampling time. Since the method need not the differential values of primary currents in an arithmetic of a speed, it can be expected to improve the precision of speed estimation in a very low speed area, especially. Some numerical simulations were conducted with the assumption of using a Pulse Width Modulation voltage source inverter.

Pulsed Nd:YAG laser using Nd:YAG crystal operates stably in the thermal conductivity, mechanical, optical condition. That is used broadly in material processings because of easy reaction to the materials, and the maintenance is very easy because of lamp excitation. In these material processings, power dinsity control is very important to improve processing technology. Power density is controled by inductance and capacitance or repetition rate. Therefore we are going to control laser power density as One-Chip Microprocessor(PIC16C55) and 8051. We have been experimented at the pulse repetition rate range of 10pps to 60pps(pulse per second).

In this paper, we designed the off-line PWM(Pulse width modulation) control IC for flyback type power converter to reduce the standby power consumption. In normal state, this off-line PWM IC generates the output pulse with $40\sim60kHz$ frequency and duty ratio of $20\sim88%$. When SMPS operates in standby mode, this IC generates the output pulse with 33kHz frequency and duty ratio of 1 %. SPICE simulation was performed to verify the standby power consumption of the power converter with designed of-line PWM IC. Power converter with designed off-line PWM IC consumes less than 0.3W when it operates in standby mode condition.

Several methods of aligning ring type cavities have been investigated for long time. The measurement of cavity transmission spectrum control is somewhat effective due to aligning cavity with measuring cavity loss at the same time. In this research, four mirrors are aligned and attached by the measurement of pulse width of the transmitted light. The intracavity loss is optimized to about 0.98%, giving the calculated total reflection coefficient of about 99.02%.

This paper shows the study for development inprocess measuring magnetic sensor for tolerance control, First, we fabricated and annealed sample amorphous ribbons which were made of ($CO_{0.94}$$Fe_{0.06}$)$_{79}$$Si_{2}$$b_{19}$ having near zero magnetostrictive. It had 12［$\mu\textrm{m}$］ of thickness, 10［mm］ of length, and 2.5［mm］ of width. Then, we measured the magnetic characteristics such as frequency dependency over impedance variation rate and position change over impedance variation. As the results of the evaluation, we found that the sample ribbons had excellent sensor characteristics. Then, we made sensors by using the sample ribbons, As the results of the measurements, it proved that the ribbon could be used as excellent magnetic sensor for which it was possible to control inprocess measurement within the tolerance range(~$\mu\textrm{m}$ ).
