Yan, Bo,Wang, Xiuhe,Yang, Yubo The Korean Institute of Electrical Engineers 2017 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.12 No.2

This paper presents an improved subdomain method to predict the magnet field distributions and electromagnetic performance of the surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) machines with static or dynamic eccentricity. Conventional subdomain models are either based on the scalar magnet potential to predict the rotor eccentricity effect or dependent on the magnetic vector potential without considering the eccentric rotor. In this paper, both the magnetic vector potential and the perturbation theory are introduced in order to accurately calculate the effect of rotor eccentricity on the open-circuit and armature reaction performance. The calculation results are presented and validated by the corresponding finite-element method (FEM) results.

In the present work, a phase-field model was developed to investigate the influence of recrystallizationon bubble evolution during irradiation. Considering the interaction between bubbles and grain boundary(GB), a set of modified Cahn-Hilliard and Allen-Cahn equations, with field variables and order parametersevolving in space and time, was used in this model. Both the kinetics of recrystallization characterized inexperiments and point defects generated during cascade were incorporated in the model. The bubbleevolution in recrystallized polycrystalline of UeMo alloy was also investigated. The simulation resultsshowed that GB with a large area fraction generated by recrystallization accelerates the formation andgrowth of bubbles. With the formation of new grains, gas atoms are swept and collected by GBs. Thesimulation results of bubble size and distribution are consistent with the experimental results.

Digital Control of Secondary Active Clamp Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge Converters

Yanbo Che,Yage Ma,Shaoyun Ge,Dong Zhu 전력전자학회 2014 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.14 No.3

A DSP-based self-adaptive proportional-integral (PI) controller to control a DC-DC converter is proposed in this paper. The full-bridge topology is adopted here to obtain higher power output capability and higher conversion efficiency. The converter adopts the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) technique to reduce the conduction losses. A parallel secondary active clamp circuit is added to deal with the voltage overshoot and ringing effect on the transformer’s secondary side. A self-adaptive PI controller is proposed to replace the traditional PI controller. Moreover, the designed converter adopts the constant-current and constant-voltage (CC-CV) output control strategy. The secondary active clamp mechanism is discussed in detail. The effectiveness of the proposed converter was experimentally verified by an IGBT-based 10kW prototype.

Advanced Droop Control Scheme in Multi-terminal DC Transmission Systems

Yanbo Che,Jinhuan Zhou,Wenxun Li,Jiebei Zhu,Chao Hong 대한전기학회 2018 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.13 No.3

Droop control schemes have been widely employed in the control strategies for Multi- Terminal Direct Current (MTDC) system for its high reliability. Under the conventional DC voltage-active power droop control, the droop slope applies a proportional relationship between DC voltage error and active power error for power sharing. Due to the existence of DC network impedance and renewable resource fluctuation, there is inevitably a DC voltage deviation from the droop characteristic, which in turn results in inaccurate control of converter’s power. To tackle this issue, a piecewise droop control with DC voltage dead band or active power dead band is implemented into controller design. Besides, an advanced droop control scheme with versatile function is proposed, which enables the converter to regulate DC voltage and AC voltage, control active and reactive power, get participated into frequency control, and feed passive network. The effectiveness of the proposed control method has been verified by simulation results.

Yanbo Che,Jingjing Jia,Yuexin Yang,Shaohui Wang,Wei He 대한전기학회 2018 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.13 No.4

The energy density, power density and ohm resistance of battery change significantly as results of battery aging, which lead to decrease in the accuracy of the equivalent model. A parameter identification method of the equivale6nt circuit model with 3 R-C branches based on the test database of battery life cycle is proposed in this paper. This database is built on the basis of experiments such as updating of available capacity, charging and discharging tests at different rates and relaxation characteristics tests. It can realize regular update and calibration of key parameters like SOH, so as to ensure the reliability of parameters identified. Taking SOH, SOC and T as independent variables, lookup table method is adopted to set initial value for the parameter matrix. Meanwhile, in order to ensure the validity of the model, the least square method based on variable forgetting factor is adopted for optimizing to complete the identification of equivalent model parameters. By comparing the simulation data with measured data for charging and discharging experiments of Li-ion battery, the effectiveness of the full life cycle database and the model are verified.

Atmospheric Stability Evaluation at Different Time Intervals for Determination of Aerial Spray Application Timing

( Yanbo Huang ),( Steven J. Thomson ) 한국농업기계학회 2016 바이오시스템공학 Vol.41 No.4

Purpose: Evaluation of atmospheric conditions for proper timing of spray application is important to prevent off-target movement of crop protection materials. Susceptible crops can be damaged downwind if proper application procedure is not followed. In our previous study, hourly data indicated unfavorable conditions, primarily between evening 18:00 hrs in the evening and 6:00 hrs next morning, during clear conditions in the hot summer months in the Mississippi delta. With the requirement of timely farm operations, sub-hourly data are required to provide better guidelines for pilots, as conditions of atmospheric stability can change rapidly. Although hourly data can be interpolated to some degree, finer resolution for data acquisition of the order of 15 min would provide pilots with more accurate recommendations to match the data recording frequency of local weather stations. Methods: In the present study, temperature and wind speed data obtained at a meteorological tower were re-sampled to calculate the atmospheric stability ratio for sub-hour and hourly recommendations. High-precision evaluation of temperature inversion periods influencing atmospheric stability was made considering strength, time of occurrence, and duration of temperature inversion. Results and Discussion: The results indicated that atmospheric stability could be determined at different time intervals providing consistent recommendations to aerial applicators, thereby avoiding temperature inversion with minimal off-target drift of the sprayed liquid.

Optimal design for torsional vibration suppression of non-smooth NES

Yanbo Cao,Hongliang Yao,Jinxin Dou,Shengdong Han 대한기계학회 2022 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.36 No.11

Nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) have received increasing attention for their ability to passively inhibit a large amount of vibration energy over a wide range of frequencies. However, although many studies have focused on dynamics of NES, few have addressed the optimal design method of NES, especially for the non-smooth NES (NSNES). Therefore, the parameter optimization method for an NSNES which can be applied to supress torsional vibration of rotor system was developed. First, the design variables were reduced by using piecewise linear torsional stiffness to equivalently fit cubic torsional stiffness; then, taking the torsional vibration of single-disk rotor system as an example, the genetic algorithm (GA) was used to solve the optimization problem of the NSNES in torsional vibration suppression of rotor system. Finally, the optimized NSNES was verified by numerical simulation and experiment to suppress the torsional vibration of a rotor system. The results show that the optimally designed NSNES can effectively suppress torsional vibration of a rotor system. In transient vibration suppression, the optimal percentage of accumulated energy dissipation of NSNES can reach 95.3 %. For steady-state vibration suppression, the peak vibration suppression of NSNES can reach 82.2 % in the simulation and 81.9 % in the test.

Yanbo Che,Dianmeng Wang,Xiaokun Liu 대한전기학회 2017 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.12 No.4

A digital dual-channel interleaved phase-shift full-bridge converter is investigated in this paper, and its topology and principle are analyzed. To realize current sharing and stabilize the output voltage, a controller with current sharing loop and closed voltage loop is employed. In addition, current sharing will increase the output current fluctuation and a new digital interleaved driving technology is proposed to reduce the output current ripple. To verify the analysis, simulation and experiments are carried out, which shows the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.
