The main contribution of the proposed scheme is the elimination of PI control loop which normally exists to manipulate the duty cycle. It is shown that the proposed MPPT controller has a similar structure to the conventional hill climbing method. However, the former exhibits superior dynamic and steady state response. It is also discovered that the controller performs satisfactorily during partial shading conditions of the PV array. It is able to track the global peak (GP) within ten sampling intervals. Simulation results indicate that proposed controller outperforms the hill climbing method for all type of environmental conditions.","PeriodicalId":105539,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2011 - 37th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125567409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As these energy sources are unstable, it is required to introduce batteries into the power grids. Vehicle to grid (V2G) is a technology that is receiving much attention as a method for achieving an efficient energy management system (EMS) by connecting electric vehicles (EVs) to an electric power grid. In this study, we constructed an EMS model using MATLAB/Simulink and determined the optimized capacity of the fixed batteries and EVs based on data sampled at an experimental site in terms of capital cost. Fixed batteries as well as EV batteries were modeled and evaluated using the actual parameters and constraints of the terminal. The main aim was to level the received energy and achieve the recharge level of the battery in one day to maintain a long battery lifetime. Through simulations, we determined the optimized capacity based on actually measured data. We could exploit the management method by considering the relation between fixed batteries and EV batteries. Using this relation, the proposed method could predict the optimized fixed or EV batteries capacity required.","PeriodicalId":105539,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2011 - 37th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124627712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the household and office sectors, which are growing in terms of electric power consumption, it is desired to improve the efficiency of air conditioning because power consumption due to air conditioning is dominant particularly in summer when conditions of electricity usage are tight. However, the drawback with the excessive reduction in power consumption is the consequent reduction in indoor comfort levels and working efficiency. Therefore, it is important to reduce power consumption with comfort in mind. In our study, we carry out experiments on environmental measurement and control of an air conditioner by using the Keio university network oriented intelligent and versatile energy saving system (KNIVES). Three different control methods are used for evaluation of power consumption. The first method involves ON/OFF control of the air conditioner through its demand control terminal; this method is widely used. The second method involves infrared control in changing the temperature of the air conditioner by means of automatic infrared signals. The thirds method involves inverter control that changes the inverter power output of the air conditioner by using a special demand control unit. Power consumption and comfort are compared and evaluated for each of the three methods.","PeriodicalId":105539,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2011 - 37th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127453434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

BLDC drive which is excited rectangular voltage for 120 electrical degrees per cycle is commonly used for the low cost applications of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs). This drive method contains low-order harmonics in the current waveform. These harmonics cause a mechanical vibration and the electrical losses. Therefore, BLDC drive is not applicable to the sinusoidal back-EMF machines. However, considering about a high frequency loss by the PWM carrier and also about the switching loss, BLDC drive has a potential to have higher efficiency than the BLAC drive. This paper compares the overall efficiency which includes PWM carrier frequency loss by using the coupling analysis between Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and a circuit simulator. The tested machines are two of Surface type PMSMs (SPMSM). One has a sinusoidal back-EMF waveform (BLAC machine) and the other has a trapezoidal back-EMF waveform (BLDC machine). The both driving methods of BLDC drive and BLAC drive are adapted to each machine, their efficiencies are compared by both simulation and experiments. The results show that the BLDC machine with BLDC drive has higher efficiency than BLAC machine with BLAC drive.","PeriodicalId":105539,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2011 - 37th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"109 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117317674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Lnar rovers are required to move on rough terrains such as in craters and rear cliffs where it is scientifically very important to explore. Recently, wheel typed rovers are popular for planetary exploration missions. However, there is a problem that the wheel typed rovers have possibility of stack. Because the ground where the rover have to traverse is loose soil called Regolith. When the rover traverse the ground like this, the one have possible doing stack. Therefore the surface of the wheel of the rovers has grouser like fin's form. The running performance of the rover can improve by grouser of the wheel. However, it is not clear on what kind of the form of grouser is appropriate. Therefore, this paper investigates about grouser's form. We carry out experiment that focus on the length and the ratio between radius of the wheel and grouser's length concrete. In experiment, we use the single wheel test equipment. This equipment can measure slip ratio various slope for traversing. We consider the running performance from results using single wheel test.","PeriodicalId":105539,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2011 - 37th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132831709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
