In addition, it is desirable that we make the measurement without service interruption. Under such circumstances, a novel measurement method for determining line impedance using an inverter circuit is proposed in this paper. In the case where we are determining the inductance, the line inductance can be measured relatively accurately. Moreover, we also propose the measurement method of the line capacitance. Finally, in the case where we are determining the resistance, the line impedance is measured by a technique derived from fundamental measurement theory, in which only passive elements such as inductors or resistors are used.","PeriodicalId":345608,"journal":{"name":"IECON'01. 27th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (Cat.

The paper presents a general theoretical framework of how robust controllers can be designed, taking into account the constraint on the control signal. The systematic design of a robust controller is illustrated in case of a vector controlled brushless DC motor drive, which is identified using advanced identification techniques. In order to enhance the dynamic performances of the designed control system, in case of limitation of the control signal, a gain-scheduled control strategy is considered. The robust stability of the gain-scheduled control system, considering the variation rate of the time-varying parameter is studied by linear matrix inequalities. The proposed robust controller design approach is verified by experimental results in case of a brushless DC motor drive, when the control algorithm is implemented on a DSP board.","PeriodicalId":345608,"journal":{"name":"IECON'01. 27th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (Cat.

The entire electrode of LTEIGBT was replaced with a trench-type electrode. The LTEIGBT was designed so that the width of device is no more than 19 /spl mu/m. The Latch-up current densities of LIGBT, LTIGBT and LTEIGBT were 120A/cm/sup 2/, 540A/cm/sup 2/, and 1230A/cm/sup 2/, respectively. The enhanced latch-up capability of the LTEIGBT was obtained through holes in the current directly reaching the cathode via the p/sup +/ cathode layer underneath the n/sup +/ cathode layer. The forward blocking voltage of the LTEIGBT was 130V. Conventional LIGBT and LTIGBT of the same size were no more than 60V and 100V, respectively. Because the the proposed device was constructed of trench-type electrodes, the electric field moved toward trench-oxide layer, and punch through breakdown of LTEIGBT occurs late.","PeriodicalId":345608,"journal":{"name":"IECON'01. 27th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (Cat.

The proposed approach is based on a previous estimation of the sinusoidal components of the signal under analysis, so that it could be subtracted from the original data in order to generate a transient type signal, which is subsequently applied to the compression techniques. The approach employs the Kalman filter and the adaptive notch filter techniques to provide the estimation of the sinusoidal components. Taking into account the wavelet property of sparse representation makes an improvement in the compression rate and in the signal degradation is attained.
