The features of the proposed method are: (1) the N-Delay control is employed, and the lth plant input is changed N/sub l/ times during one sampling period; (2) the states of the redesigned sampled-data system completely match those of the original continuous-time closed-loop system at every sampling period; and (3) the proposed redesign method can be applicable for a state-feedback and/or a dynamic controller. An illustrative example of position control using a DC servo motor is presented. The advantages of the proposed redesign approach are demonstrated both in the time and frequency domains.","PeriodicalId":262154,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Power Conversion Conference - PCC '97","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121815452","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}

A new algorithm to decide, compute and analyze a compensation method that improves the power system performance is proposed, based on a complex bilinear model of two parallel connected voltage-type power converters. Analysis is performed for normal and faulted operation, with emphasis on the combined purposes-input currents' quality and system's reliability. A specially computed term is used for the feedback compensation and an optimum parameter identification is explained providing a strong basis for a unified theory of analysis for hybrid bilinear (biconnected) systems. It is proved that the method acts automatically for any of the analyzed operation conditions, and an experimental approach proves the theoretical analysis.","PeriodicalId":262154,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Power Conversion Conference - PCC '97","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133198367","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}

Generally, the inductance distribution includes the space harmonics, which have the major effects on the torque ripple under the sinusoidal current drive. The torque ripple can be compensated for by modifying the instantaneous current waveforms. A combination of space harmonics of inductance and time harmonics of current is studied in the paper from the standpoint of instantaneous torque. The analysis shows the combination of space and time harmonics can improve the torque/current/sup 2/ ratio, while the torque ripple can be suppressed within a reasonable range. From this result, the design of stator and rotor teeth is examined under considerations of applied current waveforms.","PeriodicalId":262154,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Power Conversion Conference - PCC '97","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131817311","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}

These include sinusoidal input currents, a common neutral connection-eliminating the requirement of an isolation transformer, low voltage storage battery as well as its charge/discharge regulations. Further, higher AC-DC conversion efficiency can be obtained due to reduced voltage stresses on the switch in the boost converter during normal operation, compared with conventional half bridge converters.

The zero-sequence current harmonics are minimized by using a combination of a very low zero-sequence impedance transformer and a very high zero-sequence impedance transformer. The very low zero-sequence-impedance transformer is shunt connected to the load and the very high zero-sequence impedance transformer is series connected to the source. The series connected transformer will act as a zero-sequence current isolator between the source and load and, therefore, almost all of zero-sequence currents which are generated by the load will flow through the shunt connected transformer. Experimental results are included to verify the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":262154,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Power Conversion Conference - PCC '97","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133274568","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}
