It is one of the major energy consumers in the building sector, especially for tropical countries like Singapore where air-conditioning operates on a 12-months basis. A well-balanced ventilation system improves the thermal comfort and indoor air quality, as well as can reduce the energy consumption of the building. It is estimated that air balancing technologies can bring up to 40% energy saving compared with an imbalanced ventilation system. As a result, the air balancing technologies are very important to realize energy saving for green buildings. However, the existing air balancing method lacks systematic theory, which are based on a ‘trial and error’ way. Unfortunately, the human experiences cannot guarantee satisfied air balancing requirement, resulting in more labour cost, lead to worse indoor air quality and more energy waste.","PeriodicalId":378710,"journal":{"name":"IECON'99.

However, speed and position sensors require the additional mounting space, reduce the reliability in harsh environments and increase the cost of the motor. Various control algorithms have been proposed for the elimination of speed and position sensors. This paper investigates a novel speed sensorless control of an induction motor. The proposed control strategy is based on MRAS (model reference adaptive system) using state observer model with current error feedback and rotor current model as two models for flux estimation. The rotor speed is estimated so that the difference between the outputs of state observer model and rotor current model may be zero. This algorithm may overcome several shortages of conventional MRAS: integrator problems, small EMF at low speed, and relatively large sensitivity to resistance variation. The proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment.","PeriodicalId":378710,"journal":{"name":"IECON'99.

The proposed control strategy is based on the switching converter large signal average model linearization and use modern control theory to achieve the control laws for the expected response. Therefore, a new nonlinear PWM controller is made to implement the control law. The new nonlinear PWM controller development is based on the error between the switched variable and the control reference of expected system response to zero each cycle. As a result, the system transfer functions are derived as a function of the desired closed loop poles. Simplifying the design procedure and bringing forward all the important characteristics of the closed loop system. From a conventional control point of view: first, the proposed PWM control strategy such uses an observer approach both to reconstruct an inductor current state and to control the converter based on a current mode technique. Second, this technique also a method of indirectly implementing the sliding-mode control law. The proposed control strategy has significant advantages over conventional current mode control techniques in noise susceptibility, dynamic response and without inductor current sensing. Finally, the simulation results confirm the theory.","PeriodicalId":378710,"journal":{"name":"IECON'99. Conference Proceedings. 25th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (Cat.

The proposed technique allows safe commutations of the switches to be obtained by a simple and effective control circuit acting on the gate side of the power devices. In particular, the gate drive units are arranged in order to ensure good performances during the switching transients, while preventing overvoltage peaks on the devices.

The approach was obtained through extending ideas of three-phase instantaneous reactive power theory and constructing a two-phase system from the existing single-phase circuit. By theoretical and simulation analysis, it is shown to be a precise approach, which can be easily realized and has the merits of better steady state and dynamic performance than conventional approaches that could be used in single-phase circuits. The approach was applied into a hybrid active power filter, which combines a series active filter and a shunt passive filter together and aims at solving the harmonics problem originated by high-power single-phase nonlinear load. Following the system configuration and basic principles of the hybrid active power filter, the overall detection and control algorithm, the PWM generating technique and the DC voltage stabilizing method are introduced in detail. The detection and control algorithm were then realized by a digital control circuit with DSP processor, and successfully employed in a prototype hybrid active power filter. Experimental results on the prototype verified the effectiveness of the new detecting approach, the performance of the control circuit and the filtering characteristics of the hybrid active power filter.","PeriodicalId":378710,"journal":{"name":"IECON'99.

Its specially tailored design enables fast, easy and economical programming assisted by user-oriented functions. Running on a PC, PIN offers features which previously could only be performed by workstations and powerful graphical tools. One of the key programming functions includes macro programming techniques which are based on the idea of combining often repeated actions (for example sequences of torch motion, TCP measurement, sensor-based calibration and search operations, program initialisation, etc.) in task-oriented macro modules. The use of macros will lead to reduced programming times and increased flexibility in program generation. Combined with an icon-oriented man-machine interface, PIN enables robot programming without knowledge of robot language syntax. An integrated simulation module will improve the system performance by visualisation of the robot motion and path validation. A Win32 communication interface takes responsibility for up- and download operations between robot controller and PIN-system as well as for controller functions' execution.","PeriodicalId":378710,"journal":{"name":"IECON'99.
