본 논문에서는 태양광모듈과 전력변환장치간의 접속장치로 사용된 전력용 반도체 스위칭 소자의 소프트 스타팅 기법을 통해 초기 돌입전류를 저감하는 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 태양광 모듈의 경우, 릴레이나 DC차단기 등을 사용하여 전력변환장치와 연동하는 것이 일반적이나, 이 경우 태양광모듈의 수명과 접속장치의 전압 강하 및 응답성 등의 문제를 야기한다. 또한, 전력변환장치 출력단의 커패시터에 초기 동작 시 과도한 동일전류가 발생하게 되고 이는 태양광모듈의 과전류 현상을 발생시켜 모듈의 수명과 더불어 퓨즈의 차단 및 발열 등 비이상적인 현상을 발생시킨다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 스위칭 소자를 사용한 접속장치 적용하였고, 소프트 스타팅 기법을 이용하여 돌입전류를 저감하고자 한다. 제안한 알고리즘의 경우, 시뮬레이션을 통해서 검증하고자 한다.

The core technology of a starting device in the packaged power system is the pinion gear shifting device and to limit the initial starting voltage. Although the conventional products have been used the starting controller using mechanical contactor, these have a big problem such as the uncertainty for the start of starting motor after a pinion gear is completely shifted or the arc demage due to high current. In this study, in order to solve these problems, we designed and fabricated a new product to achieve the safety and reliability as follows: the pinion gear-shifting control circuits to eliminate the uncertainty of the start, the starting control system using semiconductor device to prevent the arc demage of contactor caused by high current, a start safety devices for soft starting of series motor. In addition, we obtained the electrical safety by separating the pinion gear control circuit and the source circuit of motor.

This paper presents a digital controller of the electronic ballast using high frequency modulation method for the metal halide lamp. The proposed controller includes the control algorithm for soft starting, no load protection, over current protection and power control. The proposed digital controller, moreover, has the high frequency modulation scheme and the tracking algorithm to avoid acoustic resonance phenomena. For the math production with the low cost using the ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), the proposed digital controller has been designed with the FPGAs(Field Programmable Gate array) only, without any microprocessor. In this paper, the detail digital control algorithms are described and the experimental results of prototype 150w metal halide electronic ballast are presented.

This paper presents a simple digital LCD backlight inverter using a single-chip microcontroller. The proposed inverter reduces the ignition voltage and eliminates the current spikes and hence improves the ignition behavior of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL). Thus it increases the CCFL's life span. This is achieved by implementing a digital dimming control algorithm, that contains the soft-starting algorithm, all on a single-chip microcontroller. The inverter utilizes the full-bridge resonant circuit topology. The design example along with a simple analysis for the inverter is shown, and the experimental results of the designed prototype results in close agreement with the theoretical analysis and explanation. The overall system's power efficiency is approximately 85%. Compared with conventional inverters, the ignition voltage is reduced by around 30% without any lamp current spike occurring during the dimming control operation.

This paper proposes a novel LCD CCFL-backlight electronic ballast using the phase-shift full-bridge inverter. The proposed electronic ballast reduces the ignition voltage and eliminates current spikes using the new digital dimming control applied with soft-starting. Thus the electronic ballast improves ignition behavior of the CCFL and hence increases the CCFL's life span. For this, this paper analyzes the full-bridge inverter topology of the proposed electronic ballast and explains the new digital dimming control algorithm applied to the ballast, briefly. And this paper shows a design example of the prototype circuit and explains an implementation method of the digital dimming control which is implemented on a single-chip microcontroller with software. This was implemented as actual prototype electronic ballast, and its experimental results showed that the proposed electronic ballast operates correctly. The ignition voltage of the prototype in the digital dimming operation was reduced about 30[%] compared with the conventional electronic ballast and there were not any current spikes.
