In this paper, a novel multi-level inverter for low cost high speed switched reluctance(SR) drive is proposed. The proposed multi-level converter has reduced number of power switches and diodes than that of a conventional asymmetric converter for SRM and smaller voltage rating of the dump capacitor comparing with energy efficient c-dump converter. It can supply five operating modes that is boosted, DC-link, zero, negative bias and negative boosted voltage. The proposed multi-level converter has fast excitation and demagnetization modes of phase current, so dynamic response can be achieved. The proposed multi-level converter is verified by computer simulation and experimental results.

This study realized low-temperature crystallization process of the $Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}TiO_3$ (BST) thin films without thermal damage of substrate using excimer laser annealing (ELA) and structural and electrical characteristics were investigated. The amorphous BST thin films were prepared on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by sol-gel method at $250^{\circ}C$. The ELA was carried out using KrF excimer laser which provided excitation wavelength of 248 nm. The beam homogenizing system was used in order to homogenize beam shape of Gaussian fit. The XRD and SEM were used to analyze structural characteristics and the microwave capacitance, dielectric loss and tunability of the BST films were measured by a symmetrical stripline resonator method with shorted end. Consequently, the crystallinity of BST thin films were improved after ELA process and RF tunable capacitor was demonstrated at low temperature below $300^{\circ}C$.

The stand alone induction generator has been excited by capacitor bank or voltage source inverters. The conventional excitation methods offer several restrictions on the operation of the induction generator in various operating conditions. To overcome the restrictions, this paper presents the induction generator system excited by the current controlled inverter which operates on the principle of vector control. The proposed control scheme is based on the rotor flux oriented indirect vector control. The steady state characteristics are investigated to yield control ranges under various operating conditions. Through the simulation, it is confirmed that the system has good dynamic characteristics wi thin the controllable ranges given by the steady state analysis.

Recently, the expansion or establishment of facilities for the logistics system is increasing. Conveyor facilities play a major role in sorting and transporting logistics. Induction motors are widely used for the operation of these conveyor systems. In the logistics system, a large number of induction motors are used. These motors have a considerable distance from the power source side and have a low power factor. The installation position for the power factor compensation of the induction motor is very important. Since the voltage drop depends on the length of the line, it is an important parameter in capacitor capacity determination for power factor compensation. The capacity of the capacitors installed to compensate the power factor of the inductive load should be designed to the extent that self-excitation does not occur. In this study, we analyze the method of compensating the proper power factor considering the voltage drop and the installation position of the induction motor in the logistics system.

We propose a intelligent controller for FACTS device to stabilize a power system. In order to identify the nonlinear characteristics of the power system and to estimate a control signal, an artificial neural network is utilized. Parameter and location of Unified Power Flow Controller(UPFC) on power system operating conditions are discussed. A UPFC is composed of an excitation transformer, a boosting, two three-phase GTO based voltage source converters, and a dc link capacitor. The proposed controller is applied to UPFC to verified the effectiveness of the proposed control system. The results show that the proposed nonlinear FACTS controller is able to enhance the transient stability of a three machine and nine bus system.

This paper deals with the effect of exciter parameters on the torsional stress of turbine-generator. The excitation system effects on the AC network stability and the turbine-generator stress. However. it, until now, have not reported that any parameter among exciter parameters is related to the stability and the stress. In order to verify those CIGRE HVDC model was used. Since the AC network with HVDC has the voltage stability problem due to big capacitor, the worst condition to analyze the stress can considered. The EMTDC program is used for the simulation studies.

A novel torque ripple reduction scheme of single-phase SRM with high power factor is presented. The proposed SRM drive has one additional active switches in the conventional asymmetric inverter. In order to get a higher power factor, the source current is controlled sinusoidal, And additional excitation current is added from charge capacitor due to torque ripple reduction. The switching period of source and charged voltage is controlled properly to get unity power factor and torque ripple reduction. The characteristics and validity of the proposed scheme is discussed with some simulation results.

A design of a Class-E inverter with only one inductor and one capacitor is presented. It is operated at the optimal operation mode for domestic cooker. The design principle is based on the zero-voltage derivative switching (ZVDS) of the Class-E inverter with a parallel load network, which is a parallel resonant equivalent circuit. An induction load characterization is obtained from a large-signal excitation test bench, which is the key to an accurate design of the induction cooker system. Consequently, the proposed scheme provides a more systematic, simple, accurate, and feasible solution than the conventional quasi-resonant inverter analysis based on series load network methodology. The derivative of the switch voltage is zero at the turn-on transition, and its absolute value is relatively small at the turn-off transition. Switching losses and noise are reduced. The parameters of the ZVDS Class-E inverter for the domestic induction cooker must be selected properly, and details of the design of the components of this Class-E inverter need to be addressed. A 1,200 W prototype is designed and evaluated to verify the validation of the proposed topology.

This paper presents the radiation rate formula due of a inclusion of a series capacitor and shunt inductor in a unit cell for the right/left-handed transmission line (RLH-TL). The equivalent circuit for a RLH unit cell considering radiation effects is presented and analyzed in terms of the Bloch impedance and dispersion diagram. It has been found that when two radiation rates are identical, the Blockimpedance reduces to the characteristic impedance of the host conventional RH-TL. Besides, design equations for a unit cell for a specific phase shift at a given frequency are provided. The method of realizing uniform excitation along the RLH-TL is also proposed for antenna applications.
