A general method for both reduced VCO gain ($K_{vco}$) and wide frequency band is to use the switched-capacitor bank LC VCO. However, $K_{vco}$ can fluctuate widely in the wide oscillation frequency range of the VCO. In this paper, a design of wide-band VCO with improved frequency-voltage gain performance is presented. Optimized multiple varacter switching technique is used for reducing its frequency-voltage gain variation.

This paper presents the circuit arrangement and effective control method of regenerative energy storage system for an electric vehicle using super-capacitors as the braking energy storage element. A bi-directional controlled current flow of the DC-DC converters with the capacitor bank is connected in parallel with battery, and is controlled so that the whole of the braking energy is effectively absorbed into the capacitors and released back to the electric motor upon acceleration. The converter needs the series-parallel switching circuit for making the best use of the series capacitors and for limiting the step-up ratio of the boost converter. The proposed methods are verified by computer simulation and experimental set-up. They are usefully applied to the electric vehicles such as green cars, electric motorcycles, bike, etc which are power- supplied by the electric batteries.

기존 이동 트레이의 경우 모터를 구동하기 위해 외부 전원장치가 필요하고 지속적인 유지보수가 필요한 문제점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 외부 전원 장치가 아닌 발전기 바퀴를 통해 배터리를 충전하여 3배 이상 승압 가능한 Boost Converter로 모터를 구동한다. 하지만 모터 기동 시 필요한 순간적인 큰 전류를 배터리에서 공급하기 때문에 배터리의 수명이 감소되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 3배 이상 승압이 가능하면서 배터리 부담을 줄이는 Super Cap. String을 사용하여 순간적으로 필요한 큰 전류를 공급하는 Boost Converter를 제안한다. 이를 이론적, 실험적 분석을 통해 그 타당성을 검증한다.

It is expected to reduce stresses to components of high voltage circuit breaker and transferred switching surge from power system by applying controlled switching technique to high voltage system. This technique has already been applied to switch shunt reactor or capacitor bank in advanced countries. In this paper, operating software is installed in developed controlled switching device and HMI(Human-machine Interface) is under developing, In the future, this technique is expected to contribute to S.A(Substation Automation).

In recent years, customers and power supplies are interested in power quality. Demands of customers are change from standard quality of distribution power system to various high quality of distribution power system. so, it is necessary to apply power quality compensator. in our project, we develop the UPQC(Unfied Power Quality Compensator of 45kVA which compensates power factor and voltage sag, interruption. it is very frequently occurred power quality problems. As a series and shunt compensator, UPQC consists of two inverters with common dc link capacitor bank. It compensates the current quality in the shunt part and the voltage quality in the series part. In this paper, we present simulation and test result of developed UPQC system. Test for UPQC are performed at voltage sag, flickers and non-linear load conditions. For voltage sag and ficker generation, we use RTDS(Real Time Digital Simulator) and power amplifier system.

This paper dscribes a detail simulation model with EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transients Program) which is very effective to analyze the interaction between the ac transmission line and STATCON (static condenser). The SATCON was represented by two voltage-source converters connected in parallel and sharing an energy storage dc capacitor bank. The voltage source converters was modeled with ideal gate turn-off switches. The power system was represented by a detail generator model and a distributed tramnsmission line model for detail performance analyses. Analysis results show that the conceived simulation model is very effective to analyze the interaction between the ac transmission line and STATCON, and to evaluate the performance of STATCON.

For general laser power supply to control the laser power density, the secondary of the power transformer is connected to the rectifier and filter capacitor. The output of a rectifier is applied to a switching element in the secondary of the transformer. So power supply is complicated and the loss of switching is considerably. In addition, according to increasing pulse repetition rate, charged energy of energy-storage capacitor bank is not transferred sufficiently to flashlamp, and laser output efficiency decreases. In this study, we have proposed the power supply in which the SCR was turned on at the zero point of input AC voltage by the method of zero cross control(ZCC). As a result of that, The new power supply employed ZCC are simple and compact in design. And laser output efficiency increased by the 3.5$\%$ other than conventional power supply (SCADC), when a repetition rate was increased by the 10pps. In 60pps, efficiency was increased by about 20$\%$.

The optimization of resonator and laser power supply has been considered to be significant for improving the efficiency of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser system. We have proposed a new method of 3-mesh parallel sequential charge and discharge circuit as a laser power supply; more compact than conventional power supply, competitive in price, easy to control the laser power density according to various material processing, and equipped with the optimum reflectivity of output coupler. In this study, we could find that the maximum laser output was obtained by using 85% of reflectivity in the case of 50[W]-class. In addition using the power supply of new method, it's possible to charge each capacitor bank with a higher energy within the given charging time adopted a new method mentioned above; namely, we can allow each capacitor to have much more charging time and storage energy. So, higher laser output was obtained than conventional power supply.

In this paper, We implement a power-saving and efficient measures in buildings using the smart-meter. In order to save electric power energy, We propose an improved automatic power-factor controller(APFC) and demand control measures. This is achieved by controlling directly circuit breakers and the capacitor bank feeders in real time via a two-way smart-meter's ICT skills. Improved APFC is minimizing installation costs by series-parallel connecting heterologous capacitors to form a more diverse capacitor banking and controlling using the smart-meter. In order to suppress the demand power, We have designed a smart-meter with communication functions using Atmel's AVR465 and tested an operated lodging building for 24-hours. As a result, We made sure to always retained more than 95% power factor and did not occur over compensation.
