However, main limited factors stems from the fact that the robot accuracy with serial kinematics is much lower in comparison with CNC machines. Using the robots for machining is therefore limited to applications with lower geometrical accuracy and machining non-hard materials. In this contribution, an experimental investigation of sources of errors, having the impact on the product accuracy and surface quality, is presented. Based on this investigation focused on KUKA robots, an online method for compensating the main source of errors - backlash errors resulting from the drive reversion - is proposed. The main emphasis is put on online (real time) error compensation based on KUKA RSI (Robot Sensor Interface) technology package and sensing the actual robot positions. Experimental results given at the end of this contribution summarizes the potential for further accuracy improvements and using the robots for machining processes maintaining the accuracy in acceptable limits.","PeriodicalId":246203,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Electrical Drives and Power Electronics (EDPE)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127510089","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 this project, a low cost high power density solar charge controller with the function to disconnect the battery during overcharging or deep-discharging and to protect the load during overvoltage or high-current as well as to reconnect the battery or load when the faults are removed is proposed. The proposed solar charge controller is equipped with LCD to display the state of charge (SOC), battery voltage, charging current and load current. These are used to obtain the accurate and efficient disconnecting/ reconnecting action which is capable of protecting the battery and load whereas LED indicator is featured to show the status of the systems. All control functions are implemented in software with a single-chip 32-bit microcontroller. This solar charge controller is developed to make high efficient and reduce the current market price of charge controller to an affordable level. For verification of the proposed solar charge controller, the 1.2kW prototype has been built and tested.","PeriodicalId":246203,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Electrical Drives and Power Electronics (EDPE)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129051955","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}

This technique reduces the number of switchings via adding a zero sequence component to the output voltage. The added component is chosen such that one of the phase legs is not switched, but the phase-to-phase voltage still remains sinusoidal. In this article it is shown that 60° flat-top modulation can cause low order harmonic distortion. The cause and the magnitude of this effect is investigated, and an empirical method is given to decrease the distortion, which uses a modified version of the 60° flat-top modulator. The new method significantly decreases the current THD, at the cost of a minor increase in converter losses.","PeriodicalId":246203,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Electrical Drives and Power Electronics (EDPE)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127967610","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}
