This paper presents design, fabrication, and performance evaluation of a high voltage power supply for Carbon Nano Tube-based planar light sources. The proposed power supply employs an LLC resonant half-bridge converter and a sixfold voltage-multiplying rectifier. Steady-state characteristics of the voltage-multiplying rectifier are analyzed and used to derive the input-to-output voltage conversion ratio of the power supply. The input-to-output frequency response characteristics of the LLC tank circuit are analyzed and utilized in designing a proto-type power supply which produces a 15 KV output using a 400 V input source. The high-voltage transformer is fabricated using a sectional bobbin structure with an epoxy impregnation, in order to provide sufficient insulation for high voltage operations. The performance of the proposed power supply is confirmed with stable and reliable operations at the 15 KV output from no load to nominal load conditions. The proposed power supply is well suited as an electric ballast required stable operations of Carbon Nano Tube-based planar light sources.

본 논문에서는 출력 인덕터 전류의 리플을 저감할 수 있는 새로운 방식의 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 2개의 풀 브리지 인버터가 연결된 구조로 되어 있으며 하나의 풀 브리지 인버터가 고정 위상($0^{\circ}$)으로 동작할 때, 다른 풀 브리지 인버터의 위상을 조절하여 출력 전압을 제어하는 방식이다. 정상 동작 시, 제안회로는 기존 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터에 비해 출력 인덕터 전류 리플이 매우 작고, 2차 측 정류기의 공진 전압도 작아져 출력 LC 필터의 소형화 및 고효율화가 가능하여 대전류 사양에 매우 적합한 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로의 이론적인 특성을 분석하고, 450W 전원장치를 시작품으로 제작하여 그 우수성을 확인하였다.

X-ray system which is usefully used in diagnosis of the patient, being bombed of radioactivity is a big weak point when irradiates a X-ray to the human body so that ICRP restricted the radiation exposure tolerance of the human body. In order to reduce being bombed, the many research and development is now advanced. A lots of diagnostic X-ray machines have currently used due to the increase of occurrence efficiency of X-ray and precisely the output control by using the inverter which is a high speed switching semiconductors. For getting the confidence of the X-ray machine, the same radiation occurrence, same evaluation, and same irradiation condition are necessary when evaluates X-ray irradiation. It is the most important part for the accuracy of the test result and the patient safety. This research has produced the high voltage occurrence system of full-wave rectification method by using the LC resonance inverter, and evaluated the irradiation reproducibility in order to use it in diagnosis of the patient.

There are 4 types of equipment in diagnostic radiography. These are single phase, three phase, inverter type and condenser type X-ray generators. It is very confusing to make an adequate exposure factor and to know the usage of different type of X-ray generators. In this experiment, I explored a comparative study of outputs in 4 different type of X-ray units. I expect that this experiment could be helpful for manufacturer to make both the X-ray equipment better, In terms of Ideal exposure factors, thereby reducing the patient dose. Experimental results are as follow : 1) X-ray output The ratio of X-ray output of single, three phase and inverter type of X-ray generator was 1 : 1.6 : 2 without absorber and 1 : 2 : 2.6 with 20 mm aluminium absorber. 2) Beam quality The X-ray beam quality of single phase generator was proved to be softer than three phase and inverter type of generators by 0.4 mmAL and 0.55 mmAl HVL respectively. 3) Reproducibility Linearity of X-ray output Retroducibility of X-ray output met the regulation below CV 0.05 and linearity also met the regulation below 0.1 in 4 types of diagnostic X-ray generators. 4) The comparison of incident dose Three phase X-ray generator was 20% higher than two other X-ray generators in radiation dose to make same film density.

양방향 스위치를 가지는 Bridgeless PFC 컨버터(BBPFC)는 구조상 복잡한 플로팅 게이트 드라이버를 활용함에도 불구하고 좋은 공통모드 잡음 즉, Common-Mode (CM) 노이즈 특성과 간단한 제어 방법으로 인해 많은 브리지리스 PFC 컨버터 중에서도 고전력 응용분야에서 매우 매력적인 토폴로지이다. 이러한 BBPFC는 도통 경로 상에 위치한 정류 다이오드의 역회복 특성의 상대적인 편차를 활용하여 전력 밀도를 감소시키지 않고도 좋은 공통모드 (CM) 노이즈 특성의 확보가 가능하다. 하지만 이러한 장점을 가지는 BBPFC 구조를 고전력 서버용 전원장치분야에서 활용할 경우, 이미 등록된 특허로 인해 매우 높은 개런티를 지불해야 하므로 그 활용이 매우 제한적이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이미 등록된 특허를 회피하고, 동시에 기존 BBPFC 회로가 가지는 단점인 플로팅 게이트 드라이버를 활용하는 단점을 개선하는 새로운 형태의 브리지리스 PFC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 기존 BBPFC가 가지는 장점인 좋은 (CM) 노이즈 특성을 가지며, 동시에 높은 효율을 달성 할 수 있다. 또한 제안된 컨버터의 경우, 복잡한 플로팅 형태의 게이트 드라이버 회로가 아닌 간단한 부트스트랩 회로를 활용하여 회로를 운용할 수 있다. 더불어 제안된 컨버터는 입력의 양과 음의 주기에서 단 하나의 스위치를 사용하여 회로를 구동할 수 있기 때문에 기존회로 대비 적은 손실을 가져 높은 효율의 획득이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 구조에 대해 하이라인 $230V_{RMS}$ 입력과 800W / 400V 출력의 조건을 적용하여 제안하는 구조의 효용성을 검증하고자 한다.

In recent years, since more and more diode rectifiers with smoothing dc capacitor are used in electronic equipments, household appliances and ac drives, harmonics generated by these loads have become a major issue. In addition, 3-phase 4-wire system is widely employed in distributing electric energy to several office building and manufacturing plants. This systems show excessive currents in the neutral. These neutral currents are fundamentally third harmonic, and their presence is tied to wiring failure, elevating of neutral potentials, transformer overheating, etc. In response to the concerns, this paper proposes a series active power filter scheme based on direct compensating voltage extraction method and the advantage of this control algorithm is direct extraction of compensation voltage reference without multiplying gain. Therefore, the calculation of the compensation voltage reference will becom much simpler than other control algorithm. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, a prototype active power filter is built and some experiments are carried out.

This paper proposes a variable passive harmonic filter for reduction and improvement of harmonics and power factor of single-phase uninterruptible power supply(UPS) with full bridge rectifier. Recently, UPSs have excellent harmonic and power factor operation characteristics by applying 2-level or more levels of power conversion methods. On the other hand, the single-phase UPS of the full bridge rectifier seriously causes the third, fifth, and seventh harmonics, and the power factor reduction on the grid side. Therefore, we present a variable passive harmonic filter for eliminating (2n+1) order harmonics and improving the power factor generated by the full bridge rectifier operation. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed variable harmonic filter, the its validity is verified by various simulations and experiments.

As international environmental regulations on ship emissions are gradually strengthened, interest in electric propulsion and hybrid propulsion ships is increasing, and various solutions are being developed and applied to these ships, especially stabilization of the power system and system efficiency. The direct current distribution system is being applied as a way to increase the power. In addition, verification and testing of safety and performance of marine DC distribution systems is required. As a result of establishing a DC distribution test bed, verifying the performance of the DC distribution (variable speed power generation) system, and analyzing fuel consumption, this study applied a variable speed power generation system that is applied to DC power distribution for ships, and converted the power output from the generator into a rectifier. A system was developed to convert direct current power to connect to the system and monitor and control these devices. Through tests using this DC distribution system, the maximum voltage was 751.5V and the minimum voltage was 731.4V, and the voltage fluctuation rate was 2.7%, confirming that the voltage is stably supplied within 3%, and a variable speed power generation system was installed according to load fluctuations. When applied, it was confirmed through testing that fuel consumption could be reduced by more than 20% depending on the section compared to the existing constant speed power generation system.

This paper proposes a floating-type wave energy conversion system that consists of a mechanical part (yo-yo vibrating system, motion rectifying system, and power transmission system) and electrical part (power generation system). The yo-yo vibrating system, which converts translational input to rotational motion, is modeled as a single degree-of-freedom system. It can amplify the wave input via the resonance phenomenon and enhance the energy conversion efficiency. The electromechanical model is established from impedance matching of the mechanical part to the electrical system. The performance was analyzed at various wave frequencies and damping ratios for a wave input acceleration of 0.14 g. The maximum output occurred at the resonance frequency and optimal load resistance, where the power conversion efficiency and electrical output power reached 48% and 290 W, respectively. Utilizing the resonance phenomenon was found to greatly enhance the performance of the wave energy converter, and there exists a maximum power point at the optimum load resistance.
