A new zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) push-pull pulse-width modulation (PWM) converter is proposed in this paper. The wide ZVS condition for all of the switches is obtained by utilizing the energy stored in the output inductor and magnetizing inductance. As a result, the switching losses can be dramatically reduced. A simple auxiliary circuit including two small diodes and one capacitor is added at the secondary side of a high frequency (HF) transformer to reset the primary current during the circulating stage and to clamp the voltage spike across the rectifier diodes, which enables the use of low-voltage and low-cost diodes to reduce the conducting and reverse recovery losses. In addition, there are no active devices or resistors in the auxiliary circuit, which can be realized easily. A detailed steady operation analysis, characteristics, design considerations, experimental results and a loss breakdown are presented for the proposed converter. A 500 W prototype has been constructed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed concept.

A technology based on thyristors will be used to manufacture the super-conducting coil AC/DC converters because of the low ratio of cost over installed power compared to a design based on GTO or similar technology. But phase-controlled converter suffers from fundamental disadvantage. They inject current harmonics into the input ac mains due to their nonlinear characteristics, thereby distort the supply voltage waveform, and demand reactive power from the associated ac power system at retarded angles. To overcome this disadvantage, in the case of two series converters at the DC side, connected to the same step-down transformer, apply for the sequence control. It is the most simple and efficient way to reduce the reactive power consumption at low cost. Analytical sequence control algorithm is suggested, the validity of the proposed scheme has been verified by experimental results with the small-scaled International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Power Supply to minimize reactive power consumption.

송전전압을 배전전압으로 변성하여 고객에게 배분하는 154kV 주변압기의 경우 과거 옥외철구형 변전소에서는 주로 동을 이용한 모선을 이용하였다. 최근 부지확보의 어려움 및 빈번한 민원 발생으로 지하 또는 옥내변전소로 바뀌어 가는 추세이고 과거 동모선 방식에서 케이블을 이용한 방식이 선호되고 있다. 모선방식의 경우는 구리나 알루미늄 바의 부식문제, 습기문제, 그리고 좁은 공간에서 사용시 절연 문제 등과 관련하여 지속적인 관리가 요구되고 있으나 케이블을 사용할 경우 이러한 문제들로부터 벗어날 수 있는 이점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 케이블을 사용하여 대전류를 송전할 경우 단일 케이블의 허용전류 용량에 따른 제한으로 복수의 케이블을 병렬 연결하여 사용하여야 한다. 그러나 케이블 동상 병렬사용시 케이블 포설 방식에 따라 동상간의 불평형전류 차가 심하게 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 송 배전 선로의 불평형전류 현황을 알아보고, 송전선로에 있어서 상배열 변경 및 배전선의 동상 케이블 배열방법을 변경함으로써 불평형전류를 최소화 하여 최적의 계통상태 유지를 위한 방안을 찾고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 배전계통 주변압기 중성선에 초전도 한류기를 적용할 경우 고장전류 제한 및 회복특성에 대해 분석하였다. 배전계통에 초전도한류기 적용위치에 따라 초전도한류기의 부담이 다르게 되며, 이에 따라 고장전류 제한효과를 포함한 건전선로에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 배전계통내에 초전도한류기의 다양한 적용위치중에서 주변압기 중성선에 초전도한류기를 적용할 경우 보다 빈번하게 발생하는 비대칭사고에 대해 효과적으로 고장전류를 제한할 수 있음을 모의실험을 통해 분석하였다. 이와 더불어 고장제거시 초전도한류기의 회복특성에서도 선로 각 상에 초전도한류기를 적용할 경우보다 중성선에 적용할 경우에 회복시간이 크게 감소되는 것을 모의실험을 통해 비교할 수 있었다.

Recently, the interest on power quality has been hot issue because the equipments cause voltage disturbance and have become more sensitive to the voltage disturbance. Additionally, the reseach on power electronic equipments applying to the high power has been increased. This paper deals with Line-Interactive Dynamic Voltage Restorer(LIDVR) system using 7-Level H-Bridge inverter, which is one of the solutions to compensate the voltage disturbance and to increase the power of equipments. The LIDVR has the following advantages comparing to the DVR with the series injection transformer. It has the power factor near to unity under the condition of normal source voltage, can compensate the harmonic current of the load and the instant interruption, and has the fast response. First, the construction, the operation mode and algebraic modeling of LIDVR are reviewed. And then the voltage control algorithm is proposed to get the sinusoidal load voltage with constant amplitude. Finally, simulation and experiment results verify the proposed LIDVR system.

In this paper, a new algorithm of optimal voltage control is proposed for the Distribution Automation System (DAS) based on constants of four terminal network modeling. In the proposed method, the voltage profiles along feeders are estimated from the measurement of the current and power factor by a Feeder Remote Terminal Unit (FRTU) installed at each node. Whenever the voltage profile violates the restriction, the voltage control strategy is applied to keep the voltage levels along the feeders within the pre-specified range through the modification and coordination of the transformer under-load tap changers (ULTC), step voltage regulator (SVR), as well as shunt condenser. In the case studies, the estimation and control of the voltages have been testified in a radial distribution system with 11 nodes.

Most technologies of reduction process used in the heat treatment of existent metal products are related to metals applied to bolts and parts of automobiles, and nonmetal such as copper. Heating conditions and reduction gases produced in above processes depend on types of products to be treated thermally but heating systems employ electricity commonly and the reduction gases are separated into additional production equipment and a gas dryer and inefficiently provided into the system. Electrical heating system has the advantage of convenient temperature-control but is not economical because of disadvantages of high electricity-running cost and extra installation cost of a transformer. Accordingly, development of the system which has economical heating mode in which provision of reduction gas and heating conditions are unified is necessary for improvement of economy and efficiency in current reduction processes. This study aimed to develop a new advanced heat treatment furnace using catalytic combustion. thereby minimizing the cost during heating, supplying heat and reductive gas at the same time and controlling operating condition freely by changing electrical heating system to heating system by the gas combustion and regeneration of wasted heat.

LLC 공진형 컨버터는 주스위치의 ZVS와 출력정류단의 ZCS가 가능하여 높은 효율로 동작하고, 출력단에 인덕터를 사용하지 않는 장점으로 널리 사용되고 있다. LLC 공진형 컨버터의 출력단 구조는 크게 변압기의 센터탭(Center Tap) 방식과 출력정류기를 Full Bridge로 구성하는 방식이 있는데, 정류기 손실과 재료비 측면을 고려하면 센터탭 방식이 유리하다. 그러나 센터탭으로 분리된 2차측 권선간의 누설 인덕턴스 차이로 인하여 컨버터 동작의 반주기 마다 공진이 어긋날 수 있고, 출력정류단에 흐르는 전류의 RMS 크기도 매 반주기마다 달라져서 동작효율의 감소를 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 수학적 모델로부터 2차측 권선의 누설 인덕턴스 차이의 영향을 예측하고, 그 영향을 최소화할 수 있는 권선법을 제안한다. 또한 400W급 컨버터에서 실험을 통하여 제안한 방식을 실증하고자 한다.

Generally additional leakage inductance and two clamp diodes are adopted into the conventional phase shift full bridge (PSFB) converter for reducing the voltage stress of secondary rectifier diodes and extending the range of zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation. However, since additional leakage inductance carries the ac current similar to the primary one, the core and copper loss oriented from additional leakage inductance can be high enough to decrease the whole efficiency of DC/DC converter. Therefore, in this paper, a new ZVS phase shift full bridge converter with separated primary winding (SPW) is proposed. Proposed converter makes the transformer and additional leakage inductor with one ferrite core. Using this method, leakage inductance is controlled by the winding ratio of separated primary winding. Moreover, by manufacturing the both magnetic components with one core, size and core loss can be reduced and it turns out the improvement of efficiency and power density of DC/DC converter. The operational principle of proposed converter is analyzed and verified by the 1.2kW prototype.
