This paper presents the modeling of the sampling effect in the p-type average current mode control. The prediction of the high frequency components near half of the switching frequency in the current loop gain is given for the p-type average current mode control. By the proposed model, the prediction accuracy is improved when compared to that of conventional models. The proposed method is applied to a buck converter, and then the measurement results are analyzed.

This paper describes numerical modeling for thermal characteristic of vapor-cooled current leads under pulse operation. The transient thermal analysis considers the temperature difference between a helium gas (low and a copper lead and temperature dependent properties of helium gas, copper and stainless steel. This numerical modeling was compensated and validated by an experiment with commercially available 100 A vapor-cooled current leads. A proper overloading factor was suggested for the current leads under pulse operation through this modeling, which can significantly reduce heat input to a cryostat.

The mathematical interpretation of a practical sampler which is useful to obtain the small signal models for the peak and average current mode controls is proposed. Due to the difficulties in applying the Shannons sampling theorem to the analysis of sampling effects embedded in the current mode control, several different approaches have been reported. However, these approaches require the information of the inductor current in a discrete expression, which restricts the application of the reported method only to the peak current mode control. In this paper, the mathematical expressions of sampling effects on a current loop which can directly apply the Shannons sampling theorem are newly proposed, and applied to the modeling of the peak current mode control. By the newly derived models of a practial smapler, the models in a discrete time domain and a continuous time domain are obtained. It is expected that the derived models are useful for the control loop design of power supplies. The effectiveness of the derived models are verified through the simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents exact autotransformer-fed AC electric railroad system modeling using constant current mode. The theory is based on the solution of algebraic. The proposed modeling is considered the line self-impedances and mutual-impedances. Besides, the load modeling improved results are obtained as application to the proposed constant current mode. In the analysis on AT-fed AC electric railroad system circuit, a generalized analysis method using the loop equation on a case by case. the simulation objectives are to calculate the catenary and rail voltages with respect to ground, as the train moves along a section of line between two adjacent ATs. The model contains assumptions regarding the representation of the autotransformer, the impedance of the track/catenary system, and the grounding arrangements, which all effect the accuracy of the result. The modeling results seem very reasonable. It is established that techniques for the AC electric railroad system modeling and analysis.

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.

In this paper, interleaved boost power factor corrector(IBPFC) is applied as a pre-regulator in switch mode power supply. IBPFC can reduce input current ripple and effectively increase the switching frequency without increasing the switching losses, because input current is divided each 50% by two switching devices. IBPFC can be classified as three cases by duty ratio condition in continuous current mode and be carried out state space average modeling. According to the modeling, steady and transient state analysis is performed by steady elements and perturbation element. Control transfer function is derived for design of control system.

The transient numerical analysis was performed for vapor cooled current leads. The present numerical modeling considered that there is temperature difference between the copper lead and the helium vapor flow. This numerical modeling was compensated and validated by the experiment with commercially available 100 A current leads. The numerical modeling in this paper described thermal characteristics of overloaded current leads more accurately than the conventional steady state analysis. Proper design of overloaded current leads was suggested by indicating the appropriate overloading factor in the pulse mode operation.

In this paper, interleaved boost converter is applied as a pre-regulator in switch mode power supply. Interleaved Boost Power Factor Preregulator (IBPFP) can reduce input current ripple as a simple voltage control loop only without inner current loop, because input current is divided each 50% by two switching devices. IBPFP can be classified as three cases from duty ratio condition in continuous current mode and be carried out state space averaging small signal modeling. According to modeling, the PID controller is applied and voltage control loop is constructed for suitable design condition. From frequency domain analysis, it is verified that control system is satisfied with design condition of switch mode power supply.

In this paper, interleaved boost converter is applied as a first-stage converter in switch mode power supply. The first-stage converter plays a role to improve power factor. Interleaved Boost Power Factor Corrector(IBPFC) can reduce input current ripple as a single voltage control loop only without inner current loop, because input current is divided each 50% by two switching devices. Each converter cell is also operated in discontinuous current mode and inductor current of each converter is discontinuous. Total input current which is composed by each converter cell is continuous current. Thus, IBPFC is able to improve input current ripple. IBPFC operating in discontinuous current mode can be classified as six modes from switching state and be carried out state space averaging small signal modeling. A control transfer function is obtained according to the modeling. Not only steady-state characteristics but also dynamic characteristics is considered. Single voltage control loop is also constructed by the control transfer function. From experimental result, improvement of power factor and input current ripple are verified.
