The strategy is to fully utilize the inverter dynamics in controlling the converter dynamics. We obtain the power dynamics for both converter and inverter systems, and control the converter power so that it matches the required inverter power exactly. Then, in the ideal case, no power flows through the DC-link capacitors, and thus the DC-link voltage does not fluctuate even though a very small amount of the DC-link capacitance is used. In forcing the converter power to match the inverter power, we utilize the master/slave control concept. We control the DC-link voltage level indirectly through the stored capacitor energy in order to exploit the advantage of the linear dynamic behavior of the capacitor energy. This helps us to circumvent a complex control method in regulating the DC-link voltage. Through simulation and experimental results, the superiority of the proposed converter control scheme is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":378710,"journal":{"name":"IECON'99.

The authors introduce a robot visualization system implemented in Java. This graphical user interface is part of their robot simulation and monitoring system (RoboSiM). Currently two versions of the visualization exist, a Java 1.1 based system and its successor realized in Java 3D. Both applets display real or virtual robot arms and enable the user to manipulate this arm. Due to the support of distributed computing by Java and its platform independence, the Java GUI may run on different local and remote systems. Therefore the same robot may be controlled by a local user or via Intranet or Internet with the same applet. The GUI applet communicates directly with the control or simulation computer. In contrast to the Java 1.1 user interface, the Java 3D robot visualization is much more detailed. Compared with other visualization systems the Java 3D applet is very realistic. Therefore the Java display is a capable alternative to the traditional visualization.","PeriodicalId":378710,"journal":{"name":"IECON'99.

A reduced-order model is derived from the singular perturbation analysis of the PMSM model by taking advantage of the two-time-scale property of small electrical machines. Controller designs based on this reduced model are simple and do not need to measure the current signals for feedback purposes because the model applies a set of second-order nonlinear dynamic equations that contain only mechanical variables. The steady-state current response can still be controlled indirectly to achieve near-minimum power dissipation, even though current signals are not measured. Moreover, the stability of the reduced system, as well as that of the original full system under control, is also studied herein. Experimental results demonstrate that the controllers developed in this study are capable of achieving high performance position and velocity tracking control.","PeriodicalId":378710,"journal":{"name":"IECON'99.

Given the volume and pattern of traffic among the network end nodes, the problem can be defined as computing the amount of traffic or load on the network internal nodes, corresponding to network switch devices. We discuss a systematic solution to this problem using the graph model of the network coupled with a compact representation of the network traffic in the form of a traffic matrix. In particular, we present an iterative solution for a special class of switched networks, namely, networks with free topology. Beginning with the graph model and the traffic matrix of the original network, the loads on end nodes of the network are computed through simple matrix operations. The graph model is then trimmed by removing a group of end nodes and an equivalent traffic matrix is computed for the new graph. The procedure is repeated until the network is reduced to a single node, which typically happens to be the backbone switch of the network.","PeriodicalId":378710,"journal":{"name":"IECON'99.

The conventional eight voltage-vector switching table which is normally used in the DTC of induction motors does not seem to regulate the torque and stator flux in an IPM motor well when the motor operates at low speed. Modelling and experimental studies have both revealed that a six voltage-vector switching table is more appropriate for an IPM motor drive at low speed.

This filter can be successfully utilised for harmonic mitigation and reactive power compensation in electric power systems supplying nonlinear loads. An adaptive linear neural network is adopted for harmonic current detection and reference signal estimation. In addition, a sliding mode technique is used for maintaining sufficient tracking of reference. It controls the generation of PWM gating patterns required for the proper operation of a 3 phase voltage source converter. The APF is shunt connected to the point of common coupling (PCC) to supply the appropriate compensating currents. The integrity of the proposed scheme is fulfilled through digital simulation results. Moreover, the superiority of its performance is proved by comparison to other active filtering approaches. The results show an appreciable improvement in the source current waveforms and a near unity power factor operation is achieved. The presented control system of the APF exhibits robustness and a high dynamic response. The resultant enhancement in the system power quality is expressed by a unified index.","PeriodicalId":378710,"journal":{"name":"IECON'99.
