This paper deals with an integrated voltage and frequency (VF) controller for isolated asynchronous generators (IAG) driven by a constant power pico-hydro uncontrolled turbine feeding three-phase four-wire loads. The proposed VF controller is used to control the frequency and voltage of an IAG with load leveling. Such a VF controller is also known as an integrated electronic load controller (IELC) which is realized using an isolated star/polygon transformer with a voltage source converter (VSC) and a battery at its DC bus. The proposed generating system with a VFC is modeled and simulated in MATLAB along with Simulink and Simpower system (SPS) toolboxes. The simulated results are presented to demonstrate the performance of an isolated asynchronous generator feeding three-phase four-wire loads with neutral current compensation.

This paper presents an output ripple reduction of Active-Clamp Forward Converter, which is mainly composed of interleaving two active-clamping forward converters. By interleaving, Output ripple is reduced. The leakage inductance of the transformer or an additional resonant inductance is employed to achieve ZVS during the dead times. The duty cycles are not limited to be equal and within 50%. The complementary switching and the resulted interleaved output inductor currents diminish the current ripple in output capacitors. Accordingly, the smaller output chokes and capacitors lower the converter volume and increase the power density. Detailed analysis of this ouput reduction of Active-Clamp Forward Converter is described.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the ubiquitous thermal sensor unit for high voltage facilities. This sensor unit generates electric power from a current transformer which was mounted in the high voltage wires and transmitted thermal data by using a Zigbee module. We simulated the high voltage facilities that temperature was going up to $80^{\circ}C$ gradually. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that sensibility of the ubiquitous thermal sensor unit is in ranges from $-0.7^{\circ}C$ to $0.3^{\circ}C$.

The Maxwell equation and the transformer equivalent-circuit model are applied to a radio frequency planar inductively coupled plasma. The spatial distribution of the vector potential, the magnetic field, and the electric field are obtained analytically. As a result, the plasma current, the mutual inductance between the coil and the plasma, and the self inductance of plasma are found to increase with increasing skin depth. The spatial distribution of absorbed power has maximum where the antenna coil exists, and has a similar profile to that of the induced electric field. The power transfer efficiency is found to increase with increasing gas pressure before a saturation around p+ 20mTorr, while it shows an increase with the plasma density before a slight decrease around a density of $5\times10^{11}/\textrm{cm}^3$.

A conventional epoxy-microsilica composite (EMC) and an epoxy-microsilica-nanosilicate composite (EMNC) were prepared in order to apply them to mold-type transformers, current transformers (CT) and potential transformers (PT). Nanosilicate was exfoliated in a epoxy resin using our electric field dispersion process and AC insulation breakdown strength at $30{\sim}150^{\circ}C$, glass transition temperature and viscoelasticity were studied. AC insulation breakdown strength of EMNC was higher than that of EMC and that value of EMNC was far higher at high temperature. Glass transition temperature and viscoelasticity property of EMNC was higher than those of EMC at high temperature. These results was due to the even dispersion of nanosilicates among the nanosilicas, which could be observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). That is, the nanosilicates interrupt the electron transfer and restrict the mobility of the epoxy chains.

his study deals with a power conversion unit of an anti-start air conditioner compressor system for the commercial vehicle. In case of converter, to reduce the switching losses and current stresses of the device, applies LLC resonant topology. Transformer leakage inductance in the full-bridge converter is used for making the resonance with the capacitor of the voltage-doubler. Through this method we can increase power and decrease volume of system. Both circuit analysis and design guideline are described. So in this paper, power conversion unit is designed. 2.5kW anti-start air conditioner compressor system was implemented, and system operation and stability was verified through experiment.

This Paper Proposes a circuit system that is capable of rejecting the zero phase voltage produced by a inverter, which transform do-ac power using high speed power semiconductor. It generates a rejecting voltage which has the same amplitude as, but the opposite phase to the zero phase voltage. The rejecting voltage is superimposed on the load line for rejecting of the zero phase voltage through a transformer. Simulation results show that the zero phase voltage applied to the load and ground current are eliminated.

A new three-level resonant converter suitable for wide input variation is proposed. A hybrid combination of a three-level converter controlled by phase-shift modulation and a half-bridge converter is presented. Since the voltage of each switch is one half of the input voltage, it has advantages of the choice and characteristics of switches. The ZVS operation of the converter is achieved by using the magnetizing current of the transformer. To verify the theoretical analysis, experimental results of the proposed converter are presented.

A LLC resonant converter with hold-up time extension technique for computer power supply is proposed. Since the proposed circuit has a current boost-up capability of resonant inductor regardless of the input voltage level and the load power condition, operating near the resonant frequency, it can provide the power to the load as the input voltage drops to half of reflected output voltage to the transformer primary. This extends the hold-up time of computer power supply and improves the system power density and conversion efficiency at nominal input voltage. The experimental results with prototype are given to confirm the validity of the proposed circuit.
