This study presents a novel four-channel light-emitting diode (LED) current balancing topology using a current-fed hybrid quasi-Z-source converter. With the proposed structure, currents flowing through four LED strings are automatically balanced owing to the charge (amp-sec) balance condition on capacitors. Thus, automatic current balancing of the proposed driver is simple and precise. In addition, the proposed LED driver uses only one active switch and three diodes. The operating principle and characteristics of the proposed four-channel LED driver are analyzed in detail. To verify the operation of the proposed LED driver, a prototype is built and tested with different numbers of LEDs.

여러 배터리 셀을 직렬로 연결해서 사용하는 BMS에서 사용 가능 용량을 최대화시키기 위하여 각 셀의 전압을 같도록 맞춰주는 셀 밸런싱 기술이 필요하다. 다중 권선 변압기를 사용하는 능동 셀 밸런싱 회로에서 셀 간 직접적 (direct cell-to-cell)으로 에너지를 전달하는 밸런싱 회로는 PMOS 스위치와 NMOS 스위치를 구동하기 위한 게이트 구동 칩은 PMOS 스위치와 NMOS 스위치 개수 만큼 TLP2748 포토커플러(photocoupler)와 TLP2745 포토커플러가 필요하므로 원가가 증가하고 집적도가 떨어진다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 포토커플러를 사용하여 PMOS와 NMOS 스위칭소자를 구동하는 대신 70V BCD 공정기반의 PMOS 게이트 구동회로와 NMOS 게이트 구동회로, 스위칭 시간이 개선된 PMOS 게이트 구동회로와 NMOS 게이트 구동회로를 제안하였다. 스위칭 시간이 개선된 PMOS 게이트 구동 스위치의 ${\Delta}t$는 8.9ns이고, NMOS 게이트 구동 스위치의 ${\Delta}t$는 9.9ns로 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

This study performed by a previous research for the applying expert system to active vibration control algorithm. In order to increase productivity and efficiency, high-speed rotating machines become popular these days. They are likely to vibrate and cause machine failure even though they have small unbalance. Therefore, a high-speed rotating machine needs a balancing technique. ISO 11342 classifies flexible rotors in accordance with their balancing requirements and establishes methods of assessment of residual unbalance. But, even if they finished balancing work, they have harmful effect vibration under the high-speed rotating environment. This vibration effect is very small, but it must be removed for the improvement of the rotor's spin accuracy. This paper introduces a new active control method that remove the exciting force by a phase control. For this method, the high-speed rotating rotor was reconstructed by a flexible rotor model. The forces which excite the rotating system suppose cyclic forces, we obtain the responses by numerical method. And then through the pattern analysis about the vibraton responses, the controler generate the control force with the reverse phase and similar magnitude. This paper suggest an phase control method and shows how to improve the rotating vibration accuracy of the flexible rotor dynamics system using phase control method.

리튬 폴리머 배터리는 높은 안전성, 빠른 충전 및 긴 라이프 사이클 등으로 인해 에너지 저장치(ESS: Energy Storage System), 전기자동차(EVs: Electric Vehicles)등에 채택이 되어 사용되고 있으며, 그리고 현재는 농업용 드론에서 까지 사용이 되고 있다. 그러나 리튬 폴리머 배터리는 과충 방전에는 리튬-이온 배터리 내의 격차구조가 파괴되어 배터리 수명이 줄어들게 되며, 과충 방전을 방지하기 위해 불균등한 셀 전압을 균등 제어 할 수 있는 셀 밸런싱 시스템이 필수적이다. 본 논문은 각 셀의 충 방전할때의 전압차이를 검출하여 불균형된 셀을 확인하여 비선형 시스템에 적합한 퍼지 제어기를 개발하여 적용한 셀별 밸런싱 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문은 농업용 드론의 배터리팩의 셀 밸런싱을 퍼지제어를 하여 셀 간 균등 제어를 위해 설계하였으며, 최종 결과로 셀 간 밸런싱이 잘 되는지 확인하고 자 셀이 2개 있을 때와 6개 그리고 최종적으로 12개의 각 셀 밸런싱이 되는지를 확인하였다. 이는 다른 제품에도 사용할 수 있는지를 실험하고자 하였으며, 확인결과 사용된 셀의 개수와는 관계없이 셀별 밸런싱이 잘 되고 있음을 확인하였다.

The static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) of cascaded H-bridge configuration accompanying multiple separate DC sides is inherently subject to the problem of uneven DC voltages. These DC voltages in one leg can be controlled by adjusting the AC-side output voltage of each cell inverter, which is proportional to the active power. However, when the phase current is extremely small, large AC-side voltage is required to generate the active power to balance the cell voltages. In this study, an alternative zero-sequence current injection method is proposed, which facilitates effective cell balancing controllers at no load, and has no effect on the power grid because the injected zero sequence current only flows within the STATCOM delta circuit. The performance of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experiments.

We propose a multi-channel current-balancing single switch light-emitting diode (LED) driver for a 3D TV. Conventional LED drivers require non-isolated DC/DC converters as many as the number of LED channels, whereas the proposed LED driver needs only one power switch and several balancing capacitors instead of expensive non-isolated DC/DC converters. Therefore, the proposed driver features a simple structure with low cost and high efficiency. In particular, because its power switch can be turned off under the zero-current switching condition, the proposed driver has desirable advantages, such as improved electromagnetic interference characteristics and high efficiency. Moreover, it only uses a small number of DC blocking capacitors with no additional active devices for the current balancing of multi-channel LEDs. Therefore, the proposed driver exhibits high reliability and cost effectiveness. To confirm the validity of the proposed driver, we perform a theoretical analysis and present design considerations and experimental results obtained from a prototype that is applicable to a 46" LED TV.

In this paper a cell-to-cell fast charge balancing circuit for the Lithium-Ion battery module is proposed. In the proposed topology the energy in a high voltage cell is transferred directly to a low voltage cell through the operation of the dc-dc converter. Furthermore, the charge balancing can be performed regardless of the battery operation whether it is being charged, discharged or relaxed. The monitoring circuit composed of a DSP and a battery monitoring IC is designed to monitor the cell voltage and detect the inferior cell thereby protecting the battery module from failure. In order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed topology, a prototype circuit was designed and applied to 12 Lithium-Ion battery module. It has been verified with the experiments that the charge equalization time of the proposed method was shorter compared with those of other methods.

This paper presents control strategies for cascaded H-bridge multilevel active power filters (APFs). A current loop controller is implemented using a proportional-resonant (PR) regulator, which achieves zero steady-state error at target frequencies. The power balancing mechanism for the dc-link capacitor voltages is analyzed and a voltage balancing controller is presented. To mitigate the picket-fence effect of the conventional FFT algorithm under asynchronous sampling conditions, the Hanning Windowed-FFT algorithm is proposed for reference current generation (RCG). This calculates the frequency, amplitude and phase of individual harmonic components accurately and as a result, selective harmonic compensation (SHC) is achieved. Simulation and experimental results are presented, which verify the validity and effectiveness of the devised control algorithms.

Welding machines are high-capacity systems used in a low-frequency range using IGBT. As their system is similar to a large transformer, most welding machines suffer a great loss because of hard switching and vast leakage inductance. A voltage-balancing circuit is designed to overcome these shortcomings. This circuit can reduce the transformer size by making it into a high frequency and reducing the input voltage by half and by adopting a serial structure that connects two full-bridges in a series to use a MOSFET with a good property at high frequency. In addition, a Schottky diode is used in the primary rectifier to overcome the low efficiency of most welding machines. To use the Schottky diode with a reliably relatively low withstanding voltage, an active snubber is adopted to effectively limit the ringing voltage of the diode cut-off voltage.
