This paper presents design and stability analysis of the constant frequency Flyback type converter using average current-mode control. The average current-mode control has been recently reported, and superior characteristics over a peak current-mode control such as a good tracking performance of an average current, no slope compensation and noise immunity. By the improvement of PM(Phase Margin) obt from applying the compensator in the current loop, the stability of designed flyback convert more improved. The validity of designed convert confirmed by simulation and experimental result

In this paper, a direct current control method based on a one-cycle controller (DCOCC) for double frequency buck converters (DF buck) is proposed. This control method can make the average current through the high frequency and low frequency inductors of a DF buck converter equal. This is similar to the average current control method. However, the design of the loop compensator is much easier when compared with the average current control. Since the average current though the high frequency and low frequency inductors is equivalent, the current stress of the high frequency switches and the switch losses are minimized. Therefore, the efficiency of the DF buck converter is improved. Firstly, the operation principle of DCOCC is described, then the small signal models of a one cycle controller and a DF buck converter are presented based on the state space average method. Eventually, a system block diagram of the DCOCC controlled DF buck is established and the compensator is designed. Finally, simulation and experiment results are given to verify the correction of the theory analysis.

This study is on the constant-current stress corrosion test related to the load stress in welded zone and non-welded zone of high tensile strength steel for natural gas transmission. The surface corrosion pattern of the welded zone of API 5L-X65 specimens for natural gas transmission showed global corrosion and narrow pitting, and the pitting was increased by increasing the load stress. Initially, the average relative electrode potential and the average relative current of the high tensile strength steel for natural gas transmission specimens was decreased suddenly, and the average relative electrode potential was higher and the average relative current was lower in welded zone than base metal. and the average relative electrode potential was decreased by increasing the load stress, and the average relative current was somewhat increased by increasing the load stress. The corrosion rate was less in welded zone than base metal, and the corrosion rate was decreased by increasing the load stress.

Recently, research on bolometer-type uncooled infrared image sensor which is made for industrial applications has been increasing. In general, it is difficult to calibrate fixed pattern noise (FPN) of bolometer array. In this paper, average-current calibration algorithm is presented for reducing bolometer resistance offset. A resistor which is produced by standard CMOS process, on the average, has a deviation. We compensate for deviation of each resistor using average-current calibration algorithm. The proposed algorithm has been implemented by a chip which is consisted of a bolometer pixel array, average current generators, current-to-voltage converters (IVCs), a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). These bolometer-resistor array and readout circuit were designed and manufactured by $0.35{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process.

New discrete time domain models for the peak current controlled (PCC) power LED drivers in continuous conduction mode include for the first time the effects of the time delay in the pulse-width-modulator. Realistic amounts of time delay are found to have significant effects on the average output LED current and on the critical inductor value at the boundary between the two conduction modes. Especially, the time delay can provide an accurate LED current for the PCC buck converter with a wide input voltage. The models can also predict the critical inductor value at the mode boundary as functions of the input voltage and the time delay. The overshoot of the peak inductor current due to the time delay results in the increase of the average output current and the reduction of the critical inductor value at the mode boundary in all converters. Experimental results are presented for the PCC buck LED driver with constant-frequency controller.

This study examined the change of water content in sludge using direct current electric equipment for decreasing the amount of sludge. The experiment showed that the average density of solids in the sludge treated by direct current before the centrifugal dewatering process was increased by 47.8%, when compared to those not treated by direct current. From the result of measuring the granularity of the sludge by the direct current treatment, that the average particle size of the sludge that was not exposed to the electric current was 52.36 ${\mu}m$, and more than 90% of the sludge was <94.29 ${\mu}m$ in size. On the other hand, the average particle size of the sludge passed through the direct current was 28.67 ${\mu}m$, and more than 90% of the sludge was 52.46 ${\mu}m$. This means that the average particle size of the sludge treated by the direct current was 45.2% smaller, and the standard deviation of granularity was improved. Because of water that separated from sludge moves to the (+) pole, larger particles become smaller and fine particles combine together, resulting in the equalization of the particle size. On the sludge after the centrifugal dehydrator, the change of the water content by the direct current was measured. The results showed that the average density of the solids was increased by 44.2% compared.

A new small signal modeling of an average current mode control is proposed. In order to analyze the characteristics of the control scheme, the discrete and continuous time small signal models are derived. The derivation are mainly come from the analysis of the sampling effect presented in the current control loop. By the mathematical interpretation of practical sampler representing the sampling effect of a current control loop, the small signal models of an average current mode control can be easily derived. The instability of the current control loop, which gives rise to the subharmonic oscillation, can be identified by the proposed models. To show the usefulness of the proposed models, the simulation and experiment are carried out. The results show that the predicted results by the proposed model are much better agreed with the measured ones than that of the conventional model, even though the high gain of the compensation network of a current control loop is employed.

With the serial observation data and the tidal records at Busan and Izuhara from 1966 to 1973, the geostrophic current velocity and its relation to the difference of mean sea level of both sides were studied in order to estimate indirectly the average current velocity from the tidal observations. The results shows that the current velocity is estimated by the relationship V=4.016(H-98.3) with the 95% confidence limits of V 4.2 cm/sec. Ther relationship between the observed current velocity and the simultaneous daily mean sea level difference shows a similar result, V=4.717(H-99.6). The two equations were applied to the evaluation of annual variations of current velocity from the average monthly mean sea level data of both stations.

LED is a promising new generation of green lighting with the advantages of high efficiency, good optical performance, long lifetime and environmental friendliness. A pulsating current can be used to drive LEDs. However, current with a high peak-to-average ratio is unfavorable for LEDs. A novel control scheme for the ac-dc critical conduction mode (CRM) flyback LED driver is proposed in this paper. By using the input voltage, output voltage and average output current to control the turn-on time of the switch, the peak-to-average ratio of the output current can be reduced. The operation principle is analyzed and an implementation circuit is put forward. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

DSTATCOM is active filter that reduces nonlinear and unbalanced currents. Researches about DSTATCOM are mainly divided two parts, one is the reference value calculation of compensation current depending on the calculation of the load-side average active power and dc-link capacitor average voltage, the other part is actual current control depending on the reference value of compensation current. This paper proposes a calculation of dc-link capacitor average voltage ripple voltage extraction instead of conventional method using LPF. The utility of the proposed algorithm is verified through the theoretical analysis and the experiment under unbalance loads and non-linear load.
