The switching power loss due to the panel capacitance during sustain period in AC PDP driving system can be minimized by using the energy recovery circuits. We proposed a new energy recovery circuit, SER1 (Seoul national univ. Energy Recovery circuit 1st). The experimental results of its application to a 42-inch surface discharge type AC PDP showed superior performance of SER1 in energy recovery efficiency and low distortion voltage waveform. Energy recovery efficiency of SER1 was measured up to 92.3 %, and the power dissipation during the sustain period was reduced by 15.2 W in 2000 pulse/frame compared with serial LC resonance energy recovery circuit.

This paper presents a novel type soft switching PWM power frequency AC-AC converter using bidirectional active switches or single phase utility frequency AC-high frequency AC matrix converter. This converter can directly convert utility frequency AC (UFAC, 50Hz/60Hz) power to high frequency AC (HFAC) power ranging more than 20kHz up to 100kHz. A novel soft switching PWM prototype of high frequency multi-resonant PWM controlled UFAC-HFAC matrix converter using antiparallel one-chip reverse blocking IGBTs manufactured by IXYS corp. is based on the soft switching resonance with asymmetrical duty cycle PWM strategy. This single phase UFAC-HFAC matrix converter has some remarkable features as electrolytic capacitor DC busline linkless topology, unity power factor correction and sine-wave line current shaping, simple configuration with minimum circuit components, high efficiency and downsizing. This series load resonant UFAC-HFAC matrix converter, incorporating bidirectional active power switches is developed and implemented for high efficiency consumer induction heated food cooking appliances in home uses and business-uses. Its operating performances as soft switching operating ranges and high frequency effective power regulation characteristics are illustrated and discussed on the basis of simulation and experimental results.

AC loss is one of the important parameters in (High Temperature Superconducting)HTS AC devices. Among the HTS AC power devices, the transformer is the essential part in the electrical power system. But unfortunately, the transformer is the worst HTS device concerning AC loss because of very large magnetization loss due to high magnetic field applied to the HTS wire. We calculated the magnetization losses in HTS pancake windings for transformer according to the operating temperature. Two kinds of arrangement of HTS pancake windings were adopted for calculation of AC losses of a shell type transformer, and the analysis results were presented and discussed.

본 논문에서는 TERES(TEchnology of REciprocal Sustainer)회로와 같은 유지구동전압 저감형 구동회로의 성능을 개선하기 위해 새로운 AC PDP용 에너지 회수회로를 제안하였다. TERES회로에서는 유지구동전압이 일반적인 AC PDP용 구동회로의 절반이지만 에너지 회수회로가 없다. 제안한 회로에서는 에너지 회수회로를 설치하여 효율을 높이고 ZVS 또는 ZCS의 구현으로 스위칭소자의 손실을 줄인다. 에너지 회수회로가 추가되었음에도 불구하고 제안한 회로의 능동스위칭 소자 수가 TERES회로와 동일하다. 제안한 회로의 동작을 모드별로 해석하였으며 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 유용성을 입증하였다.

This paper presents the modeling for islanded hybrid AC/DC microgrid and the verification of the proposed supervisory controller for energy management for this microgrid. The supervisory controller allows the microgrid system to operate in different power flows through the proposed control algorithm, it has several roles in the management of the energy flow between the different components of the microgrid for reliable operation. The proposed microgrid has both essential objectives such as the maximum use of renewable energies resources and the reduction of multiple conversion processes in an individual AC or DC microgrids. The microgrid system considered for this study has a solar photovoltaic (PV), a wind turbine (WT), a battery (BT), and a AC/DC loads. A small islanded hybrid AC/DC microgrid has been modeled and simulated using the MATLAB-Simulink. The simulation results show that the system can maintain stable operation under the proposed supervisory controller when the microgrid is switched from one operating mode of energy flow to another.

More than 80% of electric loads need DC electricity rather than AC at the moment. If DC power could be supplied directly to the terminal loads, power conversion stages including rectifiers, converters, and power adapters can be reduced or simplified. Therefore, DC microgrids may be able to improve energy efficiency of power distribution systems. In addition, DC microgrids can increase the penetration level of renewable energy resources because many renewable energy resources such as solar photovoltaic(PV) generators, fuel cells, and batteries generate electric power in the form of DC power. The integration of the DC generators to AC electric power systems requires the power conversion circuits that may cause additional energy loss. This paper discusses the capability and feasibility of DC microgrids with regard to energy efficiency analysis through detailed dynamic simulation of DC and AC microgrids. The dynamic simulation models of DC and AC microgrids based on the Microgrid Test System in KEPCO Research Institute are described in detail. Through simulation studies on various conditions, this paper compares the energy efficiency and advantages of DC and AC microgrids.

실내 거주 시간이 늘어나면서 발생하는 CO₂를 인체에 무해한 농도인 1,000 ppmCO₂ 이하로 유지하기 위해 연구들이 활발히 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 저농도 CO₂흡착제로서 KOH와 K₂CO₃와 같은 알칼리성 첨가제를 상용 활성탄에 함침하여 사용하였다. 흡착된 CO₂ 양은열중량분석기(TGA)와 chamber(CO₂ IR analyzer)로평가하였다. 비표면적이 928.5 m²/g인 상용 활성탄(AC)은 KOH가 함침 된 KOH/AC(13.6 m²/g)와 K₂CO₃가 함침 된 K₂CO₃/AC(288.8 m²/g)보다 비표면적이 높았다. 챔버실험결과, AC는 CO₂를 거의 흡착하지 않았지만, KOH/AC와 K₂CO₃/AC는 각각 93.5 mg_CO2/g_sample 및 94.5 mg_CO2/g_sample 흡착하였다. 이것은 비표면적 및 미세기공의 부피에 의한 물리적인 흡착 영향보다 알칼리성 활성점의 증가가 CO₂ 흡착에 더 유리하게 작용한 것으로 판단된다. KOH/AC와 K₂CO₃/AC의 재생성능은 chamber test 결과 대조군(K₂CO₃/Al+Si supports)과 비교했을 때 안정적으로 흡착 성능을 유지하는 것으로 나타났다(3회 반복 실험). 또한, KOH/AC와 K₂CO₃/AC는열중량분석기의절대습도 1%H₂O를고려한조건에서 145.7 mg_CO2/g_sample및 150 mg_CO2/g_sample로 나타났다. 따라서 KOH 및 K₂CO₃ 등과 같은 알칼리 성분의 함침은 상용 활성탄의 안정적인 흡착 및 재생 후 흡착성능을 나타내어, 실내 이산화탄소 저감을 위한 흡착제 개발에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Activated carbon has lower electrical conductivity and reliability than other carbonaceous materials because of the oxygen functional groups that form during the activation process. This problem can be overcome by doping the material with heteroatoms to reduce the number of oxygen functional groups. In the present study, N, F co-doped activated carbon (AC-NF) was successfully prepared by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method, utilizing commercial activated carbon (AC-R) as the precursor and ammonium tetrafluoroborate as the single source for the co-doping of N and F. AC-NF showed improved electrical conductivity ($3.8\;S\;cm^{-1}$) with N and F contents of 0.6 and 0.1 at%, respectively. The introduction of N and F improved the performance of the pertinent supercapacitor: AC-NF exhibited an improved rate capability at current densities of $0.5-50mA\;cm^{-2}$. The rate capability was higher compared to that of raw activated carbon because N and F codoping increased the electrical conductivity of AC-NF. The developed method for the co-doping of N and F using a single source is cost-effective and yields AC-NF with excellent electrochemical properties; thus, it has promising applications in the commercialization of energy storage devices.

To comply with CE marking requirements, the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and low-voltage directive (LVD) tests are conducted on the sub-racks of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) AC/DC converters and bypass switches. The EMC tests consist of a series of tests, including the electromagnetic interference test, the electromagnetic field immunity test, and the rapid transient burst immunity test. In the LVD test, the electric shock protection test, the xcessive temperature limit and heat resistance of equipment tests, and the fire spread prevention test are performed. This work presents and reviews the European Directive for EMC/LVD and introduces the methods of EMC and LVD tests for the sub-racks of AC/DC converters and bypass switches. It also evaluates the test method and results to meet the European Directive requirements for CE marking. The sub-racks of ITER AC/DC converters and bypass switches successfully pass the EMC and LVD tests.

A piezoelectric device which converts mechanical vibration energy into electrical energy is able to harvest energy and the usable energy is mW ${\sim}$ W, hence a converter is necessary to acquire the energy efficiently. Various limited conditions should be considered for the design of AC/DC converter for energy harvesting of a piezoelectric device supplying small amount of energy. In addition to simple structure, compact size, light weight and high efficiency, the energy harvesting AC!DC converter should adopt the technique of self operating, in which only the harvested energy from the piezoelectric device is available. This paper proposes new AC/DC resonant boost converter to harvest efficiently electrical energy from mechanical vibration energy, analyzes the operating characteristics of the converter and proves its feasibility for energy harvester with PSPICE simulation and experiment.
