This paper presents a study on the modeling on the dimming control of electronic fluorescent lamp. The resulted models of the lamps were applied the two dimming control methods, one is the variable switching frequence and the other is the variable dc link voltage method. And the comparison of the dimming characteristics between the two methods was presented. Theoretical predictions were verified the experimental results on a 100w electrodeless fluorescent lamp.

This paper presents a new modeling method using lamp output power and the modeling coefficients of the lamp. The proposed method utilizes the lamp modeling coefficients such as equivalent impedance Z(p), coupling coefficient of the transformer k(p), turns ratio of the transformer n(p), and plasma resistance Rp(p) as a function of lamp output power. The equivalent impedance Z(p) was developed from the equivalent resistance Req(p) and equivalent inductance Leq(p) of the lamp. Simulation and experimental results of the proposed model are presented in order to validate the proposed method. The modeling method can use to design an impedance matching circuit for a Class-D inverter.

This paper reviews electrodeless lamp technology. The lamp has very long life time but very high cost compared to conventional lamps such as fluorescent lamp. For optimizing the overall system in performance and cost, power supply as well as lamp is very important. First, this paper describes various electrodeless lamps and its market condition. Then, a lot of circuit technology for constructing the power supply is reviewed and circuit characteristics are discussed.

Electrodeless fluorescent lamp exhibit two modes of operation : a low density mode in which the power is capacitively coupled to the plasma and which is known as the E-mode, and a higher density mode which is an inductive discharge known as the H-mode. The transition between these two(E to H) mode exhibits hysteresis. It is observed that transition currents change at different frequencies and hysteresis exists not only between the starting and minimum maintaining currents of the electromagnetic mode (H mode) discharge but also between the starting and minimum maintaining currents of the electrostatic mode (E mode) discharge. Hysteresis effect can be important role in dimming system.

This paper describes the first-year accomplishments in the R'||'&'||'D project entitled, "Electrodeless Fluorescent Lamp Technology Using High-Frequency Discharges (Linear and Circular Type)," supported by a contract from the Korea Energy Management Corporation (KEMCO). One of the most important accomplishments in the prihect is that the luminance of electrodeless fluorescent lamps is increased more than 25% when the hybrid technique of capacitive and inductive couplings is utilized for both linear and circular types of high-frequency discharge fluorescent lamps compared to the case where pure capacitive couplings are used. We present the results of the experiments and the status of the development efforts in the project.t.

The thermal characteristics of the electrodeless lamp are one of the main factors that determine the design and performance of the lamp. The coupler changes the impedance characteristic by heat and its use temperature is usually within about $150^{\circ}C$. In this study, we observed the phenomenon when the coupler was exposed at a temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ or higher, which has not been discussed so far. Two types of coupler A and coupler B with different spacing between the inner tube and the coupler were analyzed for electrical, thermal and optical properties and deterioration characteristics with different heat and heat shielding conditions. First, the impedance of the system is obtained and used as a criterion for analyzing the electrical characteristics through it. The diameters of the two types of couplers are 1 mm, and the experimental result shows that the coupler diameter is 1 mm, which can cancel out the loss of the magnetic field strength. Therefore, based on these results, when the coupler is exposed to high temperature of about $200^{\circ}C$, the efficient design method corresponding thereto is proposed.

Comparing to the conventional power systems, PV(photovoltaic) outdoor lighting system applications are evaluated as the most economical application. In this paper, we installed two PV lighting systems, which uses LPS(low pressure sodium) and electrodeless lame as their loads, and applied a computer-based data acquisition system using the Labview program for monitering purpose and effective operations, considering battery life time Also, we observed the generated power from the solar array, and energy losses comparing to its installed capacity. Because most PV system performance procedures have looked at the performance of the individual components and have deficiency of addressing how the integrated system works, we confirmed the decrease possibility of the solar amy capacity after analyzing the performance of the installed PV lighting systems.

This paper investigates the light output characteristics of an electrodeless H-discharge lamp. The existing cylindrical fluorescent lamps were wound around with an induction coil of varying size, and were driven by RF power. The light output and the luminous efficacy were measured according to variations of the induction coil gap and the lamp power, respectively. The experimental results show that the luminous efficacy of the lamp is as much as existing electrodeless lamps and the luminous efficacy of lamps are high between 10W and 20W. Theoretical analyses using computer simulation show that the circuit matching is easier in the external coil configuration than in the internal one, and that the current and the power distributions near the coil are shower in t.
