Active AC/DC converters with PWM operation are utilized to regulate rectified DC bus voltage of a permanent magnet synchronous generator in the maritime DC power system. A DC bus voltage regulation strategy that exploits the six-step operation is proposed in this study. Compared with that of the PWM operation, switching loss of the converter can be significantly reduced under the six-step operation. Moreover, conduction loss can also be reduced due to the high modulation index and reduced flux-weakening current of the six-step operation. A controller is used for the proposed DC bus voltage regulation strategy to verify its validity with the simulation and experimental setup. The simulation and the experimental test results showed that the converter loss reduces to a maximum of 70% and 19%, respectively.

본 논문은 매입형 영구자석 동기 전동기의 준 식스스텝 운전(Quasi six-step operation)을 위한 약자속 제어에 대한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 전향 경로(feedforward path)와 궤환 경로(feedback path)로 구성되고 전향 경로는 1차원 참조표로 구성되며 궤환 경로는 전류제어기 출력과 과변조에 의해 제한된 전압의 차이를 이용한다. 제안된 방법을 통해 약자속 제어와 안티 와인드업(anti-windup) 제어가 동시에 이루어질 수 있다. 또한 제한된 직류단 전압 조건에서 식스 스텝(six-step) 운전에서 낼 수 있는 전동기의 최대 토크에 가까이 출력 토크를 발생시키면서 전류 제어를 계속할 수 있는 준 식스 스텝 운전이 가능하다. 제안된 방법의 유효성을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험의 결과를 통해 입증하였다.

The control performance of hybrid PWM inverter using a phase current measurement is presented in this paper. The hybrid PWM technique consists of space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) and six-step voltage control operation. The SVPWM is performed to reduce the harmonic components in the low speed region, and the six-step modulation is applied to increase the maximum speed of the IPMSM in the high speed region. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a great performance in both the low speed range and high speed range. However, the six-step modulation cannot be completely implemented, since the inverter that includes the lag-shunt sensing method has an immeasurable current region. In this paper, a quasi-six-step modulation using a modified voltage vector is proposed. The validity and usefulness of the proposed PWM technique is verified by MATLAB/Simulink and experimental results.

Electric drive vehicles (EDV) have received much attention recently because of their environmental and energy benefits. In an EDV, the motor drive system directly influences the performance of the propulsion system. However, the available DC voltage is limited, which limits the maximum speed of the motors. At high speeds, the inverter voltage increases if the square wave (SW) voltage (six-step operation) is used. Although conventional direct torque control (DTC) has several advantages, it cannot work in the six-step mode required in high-speed applications. In this paper, a single-mode seamless DTC for AC motors is proposed. In this scheme, the trajectory of the reference flux changes continuously between circular and hexagonal paths. Therefore, the armature voltage changes smoothly from a high-frequency switching pattern to a square wave pattern without torque discontinuity. In addition, because multi-mode controllers are not used, implementation is more straightforward. Simulation results show the voltage pattern changes smoothly when the motor speed changes, and consequently, torque control without torque discontinuity is possible in the field weakening area even with a six-step voltage pattern.

본 6-스텝 운전은 하드웨어의 수정 없이 운전 영역을 확장할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 하지만, 샘플링 주파수 대비 기본파 주파수가 크면 저주파수 전류 맥동 문제가 발생한다. 이는 시스템의 효율을 낮추고 안정성 문제를 일으킨다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 가변 시간 제어 방법을 제안한다. 선형화과정을 통해 정확한 전달 함수를 구하고, 이를 이용하여 추가적인 약 자속 제어기나 전류 지령 생성기 없이 6-스텝 운전을 구현 할 수 있다.

A novel six-step current source inverter (CSI) with DC-side commutation and energy rebound capability is presented with detailed explanation of the circuit operation. The prposed inverter can operate in a very wide range of frequency and load variation by employing DC-side commutation. Also, the energy rebound makes the use of low voltage SCR's possible and increases the inverter efficiency. Motor operation is also possible in four quadrants in this proposed current source inverter. The advantages of the proposed CSI over conventional ones are described and experimental results are given in oscillograms.

This paper proposes a single-phase buck-boost AC-AC converter. It consists of three legs with six switching units (each unit is composed of an active switch and a diode) and its input and output ports share a common ground. It can provide buck-boost voltage operation and immune from shoot-through problem. Since only two switching units are involved in the current paths, the conduction losses are low, which improves the system efficiency. The operation principle of the proposed circuit is firstly presented, and then, various operation conditions are introduced to achieve different output voltages with step-changed frequencies. Additionally, the parameters design and comparative analysis of the power losses are also given. Finally, experimental results verify the correctness of the proposed converter.

This paper deals with the parallel operation of inverters. To enlarge capacity of inverter system and reduce current ripples on inverter output side, two or more inverters are operated in parallel. Up to now six-step inverters and sinusoidal PWM inverters are considered in parallel operation, but using space-vector PWM inverters we can get many advantages of reducing ripple current energy and torque ripple and so on. As we can choose effective voltage vectors more freely than single operation, inverter output current ripples can be reduced by shifting beginning and end point of switching state back and forth.

The purpose of this study was to develop a brand naming strategy for rural specialty products of Muju. This study was to apply brand development research to the field. The selected investigation subject, a local farming operation producing a specialty product, was chosen from a New Enterprise Support Project of Farm Women ('06). The selected subject was a farming operation producing bokbunja drink in Muju. The data was derived from 137 female consumers. The major results of this study were as follows. First, the process of brand development strategy was advanced by six steps: Step 1, environment analysis; Step 2, brand case study; Step 3, SWOT analysis (Strength Weakness, Opportunity, Threat factor analysis); Step 4, direction design for brand naming development (Targeting, Brand focus concept extraction); Step 5, brand logo and symbol production; and Step6, Evaluation. Second, to extract brand naming development direction, key concepts in association with natural connection, area features, representative resources, and natural friendship were investigated. Namely, the health function concept was selected on the basis of a consumer recognition investigation where results appeared most highly favorable. Also, it was decided that the direction of brand naming should emphasize a green image and the location name of Muju. Finally, the brand name was decided to be "Saenggichan" bokbunja liquid and the slogan went with "guchondon-native thorn bokbunja from jar maturing."
