Selection of the optimal inductance for power factor improvement of a buck AC/DC light-emitting diode (LED) driver with wide input voltage range is described in this study. The power factor change based on the slope compensation is obtained for various normalized output current (NOC) values using discrete-time domain analysis. The possibility of implementing constant slope compensation is described using power factor curves for various NOC values. NOC = 0.5 is chosen for the value of inductance with consideration for the simple implementation and reduction of inductor size. Experimental results of the inductance corresponding to NOC = 0.5 are presented.

This paper presents a study on the power factor improvement of the Wind turbine Generation System(WTGS) at Haeng-won wind farm in Jeju Island. Vestas WTGS named V47 as a model system is selected in this paper, and has 660 kW Power ratings. In this system, power factor correction is controlled by the conventional method with power condenor bank. So, model system at Haeng-won wind farm has very low power factor in the area of low wind speed, which is from 4 m/s to 6 m/s. This is caused by the power factor correction using power condenser bank To improve the power factor in the area of low wind speed, we used the static var compensator(SVC) using current controlled PWM power converter by IGBT switching device. finally, to verify the profosed method, the results of computer simulation using Psim program are presented to support the discussion.

In this paper, the modular line-connected photovoltaic PCS (photovoltaic power conditioning system) is proposed. A step-up DC-DC converter using a active-clamp circuit and a dual series-resonant rectifier is proposed to achieve a high efficiency and a high input-output voltage ratio efficiently. An IncCond (incremental conductance) MPPT (maximum power point tracking) algorithm that improves MPPT characteristic is used. The PV module current is estimated without using a DC current sensor. By control a inverter using a linearized output current controller, a unity power factor is achieved. All algorithms and controllers are implemented on a single-chip microcontroller and the superiority of the proposed DC-DC converter and controllers is proved by experiments.

This paper presents the single-stage TSFC(Two-Switch Forward Converter). Recently, due to growing concern about the harmonic pollution of power distribution systems and the adoption of standards such as ICE 61000-3-2 and IEEE 519, There is a need to reduce the harmonic contests of AC line currents of power supplies. This research proposed the single-stage two switch forward circuit for low voltage and high current output. The principle of operation, feature and design considerations is illustrated and verified through the experiment with a 200[W](5[V], 40[A]) 100[kHz] MOSFET based experimental circuit.

본 논문은 중용량급 전원회로의 구성을 간략화 할 수 있는 절연형 AC-DC 컨버터의 구조와 그 제어 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 회로의 구조는 병렬 전력 처리를 기반으로 한다. 병렬 모듈의 기능을 각각 AC 입력 전류의 위상을 제어하는 역률개선(PFC) 기능과, 콘덴서에 저장된 에너지를 이용하여 DC 전압을 생성하는 DC-DC 컨버터의 기능으로 분리한다. 병렬 모듈의 최종 출력단을 서로 직렬 연결하여, PFC 모듈이 생성한 전압과 DC-DC 컨버터 모듈이 생성한 전압을 서로 더해서 출력하는 구조이다. 이러한 구조를 통해서 기존의 병렬형 AC-DC 컨버터에 대비하여 반도체 소자의 내압을 감소시킬 수 있고, 최종 DC 전압의 동작응답특성 향상이 가능하다. 회로의 동작모드 분석이 실시되었고, 제어기 구현 방법이 제시되었다. 제안된 구조는 PDP 전원회로에의 응용을 위해서 400W(출력전압-200V, 출력전류-2A)급 실험용 회로를 구현하여 동작검증을 실시하였다.

The demands of minimizing the reactive power and reducing. the current harmonics are increasing nowadays. The inverter airconditioner needs high power and it operates with wide load range. Conventionally, ah huge LC passive filter is used in airconditioner to improve the P.F and to reduce current harmonics which doesn't gives good results.

To improve the P.F and to reduce the THD, an average current controlled active PFC is designed and tested. Experimental results show that the developed system achieves almost unity P.F and low THD for all load range.

현재 전국적으로 많은 곳에 SPS(고장파급방지장치)가 설치되어 운영중에 있으며 대부분은 345kV이상 대단위 전원단지 인근에 설치되어 있으나 강원지역의 경우는 154kV 계통에 다수가 설치되어 운전중에 있다. 강원지역은 지역적 특성으로 인해 장거리 송전선로가 많으며 전원단이 원거리에 위치하여 고장시 전압불안정에 의한 계통붕괴의 위험성이 타 지역보다 높다. 특히 하계에 비해 난방부하 및 심야전력의 영향으로 최대부하가 대폭 증가하는 동계의 경우 이러한 특성이 더욱 두드러지는데 2007년 동계피크시 부하실적 및 역률을 기준으로 부하특성 및 부하역율 변동에 따른 계통영향을 분석하여 기 설치 운영중인 SPS 적용의 타당성 및 유지여부에 대한 판단 및 SPS 적용 개선(안)을 제시하였다.

The boost converter is usually used in power factor correction. The dynamic losses of its output diode are produced during the reverse recovery time. The power efficiency is decreased due to the losses and also it generates the noise. These disadvantages have been remarkably improved by ZCS and ZVS techniques of power factor improvement circuit. Some benefits lead to the achievement of higher power density and the development cost can be decreased. In this paper work, the reverse recovery suppression(RS) PFC method is used. A inductor and a diode are added into the conventional circuit. The switching device, MOSFET is turned off after the reverse recovery current has come to the zero level. The Zero Current Switching(ZCS) is implemented at that time. This power conversion technique improves the efficiency to about 1% and reduces the noise obviously. And the additional inductor can be designed using an original filter core in the circuit. The converter size is reduced effectively.
