A new small-signal model for the controlled on-time boost Power factor correction (PFC) circuit is Presented. The proposed small-signal model is valid up to high frequencies ever 1kHz. IF to remove the low-frequency ripple from the output a 120Hz notch filter is used the proposed model can be used for the control design of the PFC circuit to improve the dynamics of the output voltage. The accuracy of the model is confirmed by comparing the experimental results with the simulational result.

In this paper, T5 28-watt fluorescent lamp ballast using a piezoelectric transformer is fabricated and its characteristic is investigated. Developed electronic ballast is composed of basic circuits and blocks, such as rectifier part, active power factor corrector part, frequency oscillation part using microcontroller and feedback control, piezoelectric transformer and resonant half bridge inverters. The fabricated ballast uses to variable frequency methode in external so exciting that the frequency of piezoelectric transformer could be generated by voltage control oscillator using microcontroller(AT90S4433). The current of fluorescent lamp is detected by feedback control circuit. The signal of inverter output is received using Piezoelectric transformer, and then its output transmitted to fluorescent lamp. Traditional electromagnetic ballasts operated at 50-60Hz have been suffered from noticeable flicker, high loss, large crest factor and heavy weight. A new electronic ballast is operated at high frequency about 75kHz, and then Input power factor, distortion of total harmonic and lamp current crest factor are measured about 0.9!35, 12H and 1.5, respectively Accordingly, the traditional ballast is by fabricated electronic ballast using piezoelectric transformer and voltage control oscillator because of its lighter weight, high efficiency, economic merit and saving energy.

In this paper, the ignition trans used in the gas boiler was produced to measure current, power factor, and power consumption. As a result of measuring the power factor, the self-made ignition trans was higher than that of foreign products and the power consumption was lower. The ignition gap was fixed to 2 m, and when the ignition rod length was 30cm, 500cm, and 1000cm, it was measured as 3.45A, 14.5A, and 16.2A. When the ignition gap was fixed to 4mm and the ignition rod length was 30cm, 500cm, and 1000cm, it was measured as 2.8A, 10.1A, and 13.2A. When the ignition gap was fixed at 6mm and the ignition rod length was 30cm, 500cm, and 1000cm, it was measured as 2.73A, 10.2A, and 32.6A. When the ignition gap was fixed at 8 mm and the ignition rod length was 30 cm, 500cm, and 1000cm, it was measured as 3.13A, 9.37A, and 21.4. The ignition gap was fixed at 10 mm, and when the ignition rod length was 30cm, it was measured as 3.4A, 14.4 A, and 25.6A. In conclusion, as the length of the ignition rod increased, the current also increased.

In this paper, prototype of high-power-factor single-stage electronic ballast for fluorescent lamp is designed and implemented. A new low cost single stage high power factor electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps is based on integration of two-boost converter and LC type high frequency resonant inverter. The proposed ballast is combined by simple construction, because full bridge rectifier diode is eliminated and simple control circuit is applied. Boost converter operate in the voltage of positive and negative half cycle respectively at line frequency (60㎐), operation in discontinuous conduction mode performs high power factor. The experimental results show the good performance as PF 0.99, THD 15.4%, and CF 1.65 at output 63.5〔W〕.

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.

this paper proposes the operation algorithm of 1MW class Battery Energy Storage System(BESS) installed at the extra-high voltage customer. The objective of the proposed algorithm is to reduce electric charges during the operation of the BESS interconnected to power system. This paper simulates the electric charges in 1998 considering Season and Time of Use Rate and Power Factor in the assumption that electricity demand in 1998 is the same amount of that in 1997 and shows the saving of about 40 million won in the total electric charges. The results comparing the real electric charges of June. July and August in 1997 with that in 1998 show that the implementation of the proposed algorithm could significantly reduce electric charges during the operation the BESS.

국내에서 대체에너지 공급 비율을 보면 청정에너지로 분류할 수 있는 태양열에너지, 태양 광 에너지, 풍력에너지를 모두 합하여 대체에너지의 $10\%$이하이며, 대체에너지 비율의 $90\%$ 이상을 폐기물로부터 얻은 에너지가 차지하고 있는 실정이다. 신재생에너지원에는 여러 종류가 있지만 해양에너지원에 대해 대상을 설정하고 이에 대한 부존량을 살펴보면 진도 주변의 해역에서 조류발전 부존량이 약 362만 kW가 되며, 시화호와 새만금 등지에서의 조력발전 부존량이 650만 kW, 동해안 후포 연안을 비롯한 파력발전 부존량이 20만kW가 되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 따라 해양에너지를 실용화하기 위한 연구가 국내외에서 연구되고 있다. 본 논문은 권선형유도발전기를 갖는 조류발전 시스템을 대상으로 연구한 결과로 권선형유도발전기를 제어하기 위한 전력변환장치 개발과 관련한 내용이다. 신재생에너지원이 발전 단가 측면에서 경제성을 갖기 위해서 발전기 용량은 5MW 급까지 대용량화되어 있는 단계이지만 국내에서는 아직 MW급 이상이 되는 권선형 유도발전기와 권선형 유도발전기를 제어하는 전력변환장치에 대한 연구 실적이 없는 상황이다 이에 본 논문에서는 1MW급의 권선형유도발전기에 대한 개발 사례를 소개하면서 유효전력제어, 역률제어, 계통연계방법, 그리고 운전 속도에 따라 변동되는 회전자측에서의 피상전력 특성 등을 제시하고자 한다.

This paper describes the operation characteristic of a single-phase PFC converter with 1-switch voltage doubler strategy for single-phase double-conversion UPS. A single-phase PFC converter with 1-switch voltage doubler strategy needs a diode bridge and one bidirectional active switch. Thus it is possible to reduce the material cost. However, the study results of operation characteristic and controller design has not been known after the converter circuit was proposed. For the performance evaluation of PFC converter, single-phase 3kVA double-conversion UPS was tested. The performance of PFC converter is experimentally confirmed with followings - input current reference traking, input power factor correction.
