The converter is autonomous in that it can be used as a self-sufficient entity. The particular application described is not exclusive: the converter can be used in any other application which can make use of its properties. The converter consists of a positive current feedback loop and a negative voltage feedback loop with a current feedback circuit in the current loop of a prescribed transfer function. This arrangement then provides for the infinite disturbance rejection ratio in electric motor drive systems in which the converter is used to force the effects due to the equivalent motor impedance to zero. Furthermore, it allows for additional synthesizing of appropriate (feed)forward gains to achieve zero order dynamics.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":253424,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] IECON '90: 16th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125046271","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}

Processing and analysis of the surface displacement signals are discussed. Results of preliminary laboratory studies designed to detect voids in various concrete specimens are presented.

The incorporation of adaptive control facilitates converter operation within a constant commutation frequency, adding an implicit harmonic control to the intrinsic voltage regulation capacity of the VSS systems. The converter is characterized by online generation and good transient performance. The validity of this technique is confirmed by computer simulation. As a consequence of the system's behavior, a minimal-UPS structure is proposed for operation in parallel with the utility grid. The resultant power converter can operate as a reactive power compensator, an energy storage system, and an active filter for the line.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":253424,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] IECON '90: 16th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129311510","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}

An assumption-based inference system that makes it possible to search state space effectively by the pair coils exchange method, and to avoid combinational explosion, was developed. To evaluate the approach, the system was applied to a steel production line for prototype use. It was confirmed that this system improved product quality.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":253424,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] IECON '90: 16th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132086924","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}
