The current control using a conventional hysteresis controller of a STATCOM based on two level VSI (Voltage Source Inverter) has high switching frequency and variable modulation frequency. This will increase the switching loss. In addition, the current error is not strictly limited So, in this paper to reduce the switching frequency and to maintain the constant modulation frequency, a novel double band hysteresis current controller based on 3-level VSI is proposed. A conventional hysteresis current control and a novel hysteresis current control was tested with digital simulation and verified the advantage of the novel hysteresis current controller.

The reliability improvement of PV systems is an important factor in reducing the cost of PV energy because it is closely related to the annual energy production as well as the maintenance cost of PV systems. The reliability of PV inverters plays a key role in the reliability of PV systems because it is regarded as one of the most reliable critical parts of PV systems. The lifetime evaluation of PV inverters considering the mission profile in the design phase plays an important role in reliability design to ensure the required lifetime of PV inverters. In this paper, the lifetime of representative single-phase T-type and I-type NPC inverters are comparatively evaluated by considering the mission profile of a PV system recorded at Iza, Spain. Furthermore, the effect of the pulse width modulation methods on the lifetime is also discussed. The lifetime evaluation of PV inverters is performed at the component-level first and then the system level by considering all power devices.

대용량 전력변환기기인 멀티-레벨 컨버터는 전동기구동시스템 및 유연송전시스템 등에 널리 사용되고 있다. 이중 H-Bridge 컨버터는 캐스캐이드 형태를 사용하여 멀티-레벨로의 확장이 용이한 장점으로 인해 shunt형 기기로 점차 응용이 확대되고 있다. 정상 상태에서 대략 0.7∼0.8의 변조지수 범위에서 작동한다. 고변조지수에서는 부스트 벡터인 zero vector가 인가되지 않아도 DC-link 전압은 일정하게 유지된다. 이것은 3-레벨 컨버터의 여러 벡터 중 zero vector 이외에도 또 다른 boost vector가 존재한다는 것을 의미한다. 본 논문은 boost vector의 원리를 살펴보고 3레벨 컨버터에서 zero vector와 또 다른 boost vector와의 차이점을 고찰하였다. 또한 본 논문은 두 토폴로지의 충전 전류와 커패시터 전압을 해석하고 비교한다 이 전압과 전류는 스위칭 상태와 기준전압과 관련되어 있고 이것을 이용하여 각 커패시터의 충전전류와 전압리플에 대한 계산 방법을 제안하였고 다양한 DC-Link 전압제어 방법을 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교하였다.

The 3-level inverter is applied to the induction motor drive as the voltage type inverter for large poller one. This inverter divides the DC link voltage into the two parts and it is supplied to the inverter. The 3-level inverter can reduces the voltage between the each devices, and get more sinusoidal current waveform. This paper presents the new PWM method which can reduces the harmonics. The modulation at the inverter side is implemented using a DSP microprocessor.

본 논문에서는 3-Level NPC(Neutral Point Clamped) 인버터에서 ZDPWM(Zero Dead Time Pulse Width Modulation) 기법에 대해서 제안한다. 3-Level NPC 인버터에서 기존 PWM 기법은 각 스위치는 서로 상보적인 동작을 수행하고, 반도체 스위칭 소자 특성상 Rise Time과 Fall Time의 시간차이로 인하여 단락사고를 방지하기 위해 스위칭 신호의 Rising Edge에 데드타임을 인가하여 단락을 방지한다. 그러나 이러한 데드타임은 지령 스위칭 신호와 실제 스위칭 신호의 오차로 인하여 출력 전압 및 전류에 왜곡이 발생하고, 이러한 왜곡으로 인하여 시스템의 오작동 및 직류링크단 전압의 불평형의 원인이 된다. 제안하는 PWM기법은 지령전압과 출력전류의 위상에 따라 영역을 나눈 후 전류의 방향에 따라 옵셋 전압을 생성하여 새로운 지령전압을 만들어 각 스위치에 스위칭 신호를 인가한다. 제안한 기법에 타당성을 증명하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

DC-link capacitors are one of the main components in two-level three-phase voltage source inverters (VSIs); they provide the pulsating input current and stabilize the vacillating DC-link voltage. Ideally, the larger the capacitance of DC-link capacitors, the better the DC-link voltage stabilizes. However, high capacitance increases the cost and decreases the power density of VSI systems. Therefore, the capacitance should be chosen carefully on the basis of the DC-link voltage ripple requirement. However, the DC-link voltage ripple is dependent on the pulse-width modulation (PWM) strategy. This study especially presents a DC-link voltage ripple analysis when the minimum loss discontinuous PWM strategy is applied. Furthermore, an equation for the selection of the minimum capacitance of DC-link capacitors is proposed. Experimental results with R-L loads are also provided to verify the effectiveness of the presented analysis.

본 논문은 기존 DFT-s-SSB(Discrete Fourier Transform spread Single Sideband) OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템이 가지는 문제점을 해결하는 개선된 DFT-s-SSB OFDM 시스템을 제안한다. 기존 DFT-s-SSB 시스템은 SSB 변조를 적용하기 위하여 PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) 변조를 사용한다. 때문에 변조레벨이 높아질수록 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능열화가 심각해진다. 그리고 오직 LSB(Lower Sideband) 스펙트럼을 통해서만 송신이 가능하며 LSB와 USB(Upper Sideband) 스펙트럼을 동시에 사용하여 송신하는 경우, 간섭이 발생하고 스펙트럼 복구가 올바르게 이루어지지 않는다. 제안하는 시스템은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 2/3 convolution coding을 적용하여 BER 성능을 개선하고 DFT 크기를 조절하고 USB 스펙트럼을 선택하는 방법을 제시하여 남은 스펙트럼 자원을 이용할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 다중사용자를 지원하는 환경 혹은 제한적인 대역폭을 갖는 환경에서 이 시스템을 이용하는 경우 스펙트럼을 절반만 사용하기 때문에 남은 스펙트럼 자원을 이용할 수 있고 스펙트럼 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다.

We examined the effect of modulation of PKA isozymes on the growth of human ovarian cancer cells. Three ovarian cancer cell lines, 2774, SK-OV-3, and OVCAR-3, were examined in this study. The treatment of 5 uM 8-CI-cAMP, which has been known to down-regulate RI (or type 1 PKA) and up-regulate RII (or type II PKA), markedly inhibited the growth of all cell lines (50-80% at day 6). To test whether alteration in PKA regulatory subunits level can change the growth characteristics of ovarian cancer cells, we introduced RIIB- expression construct and Rla antisense-expression construct into 2774 cells. The overexpression of RIIB down-regulated Rla protein, and the antisense-expression of Rla up-regulated RIIB protein, showing that the intracellular levels of RI and RII are reciprocally regulated. In both cases, cell growth was reduced by 30% at day 2. These results indicate that the growth of ovarian cancer cells is controlled by the signals from PKA isozymes, and the modulation of PKA isozymes can be employed for the human ovarian cancer therapy.

The unsteady flow characteristics and associated blade tonal noise of a cross-flow fan are predicted by computational methods. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are time-accurately solved for obtaining the pressure fluctuations between the rotating blades and the stabilizer. and the sound pressure is predicted using Curie's equation. The discrete noise characteristics of three impellers with a uniform and two random pitch (type-A and -B) blades are compared by their SPL (Sound Pressure Level) spectra. and the frequency modulation characteristics of the BPF (Blade Passing Frequency) noise are discussed. Besides. a mathematical model is proposed for the prediction of discrete blade tonal noise and is validated with available experimental data. The fan performance is also compared with experimental data. indicating that the random pitch effect does not significantly alter the performance characteristics at ${\phi}$ 〉 0.4

This paper proposes a cost-effective topology to drive a three-phase open-end load based on a five-leg indirect matrix converter (IMC) and a space vector modulation (SVM) method. By sharing an inverter leg with two load terminals, the proposed topology can reduce the number of power switches when compared to topologies based on a direct matrix converter or a six-leg IMC. The new SVM method uses only the active vectors that do not produce common-mode voltage (CMV), which results in zero CMV across the load phase and significantly reduces the peak value of the CMV at the load terminal. Furthermore, the proposed drive system can increase the voltage transfer ratio up to 1.5 and provide a superior performance in terms of an output line-to-line voltage with a three-level pulse-width modulation waveform. Simulation and experimental results are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed topology and the new SVM method.
