소비자의 요구와 기술력의 발달로 PDP시장은 42인치와 60인치등 대형PDP가 주류를 이루고 있으며 대형화에 따라서 PDP전원의 소모전력 또한 $400W{\sim}600W$ 까지 증가 하고 있다. 기존 소용량 PDP전원으로 사용되던 Flyback의 경우 소모 전력이 증가함에 따라 대형PDP에 적용하기에는 소자 내압 및 시스템 효율 측면에서 다소 무리가 있다. 따라서 대형PDP의 전원을 위해서 새로운 2 Switch 3 Diode를 채용한 고효율 DCR (Diode Clamping Rectifier) Flyback Converter를 제안하였으며 이를 42인치 PDP에 적용하여 회로의 타당성 및 우수성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents a high-frequency boost type ZVS-PWM chopper-fed DC-DC power converter with a single active auxiliary edge-resonant snubber at the load stage which can be designed for power conditioners such as solar photovoltaic generation, fuel cell generation, battery and super capacitor energy storages. Its principle operation in steady-state is described in addition to a prototype setup. The experimental results of boost type ZVS-PWM chopper proposed here, are evaluated and verified with a practical design model in terms of its switching voltage and current waveforms, the switching v-i trajectory and the temperature performance of IGBT module, the actual power conversion efficiency, and the EMI of radiated and conducted emissions, and then discussed and compared with the hard switching scheme from an experimental point of view. Finally, this paper proposes a practical method to suppress parasitic oscillation due to the active auxiliary resonant switch at ZCS turn-off mode transition with the aid of an additional lossless clamping diode loop, and can be reduced the EMI conducted emission.

This paper presents a new transient overvoltage blocking device (TOBD) for info-communication facilities with low power and high frequency bandwidth. Conventional protection devices have some problems such as low frequency bandwidth, low energy capacity and high remnant voltage. In order to improve these limitations, thehybrid type TOBD, which consists of a gas tube, avalanche diodes and junction typefield effect transistors (JFETs), was designed and fabricated. The TOBD differs from the conventional protection devices in configuration, and JFETs were used as an active non-linear element and a high speed switching diode with low capacitance limits high current. Therefore the avalanche dilde with low energy capacity are protected fromthe high current, and the TOBD has a very small input capacitance. From the performance test using combination surge generator, which can produce $1.2/50\mus\;4.2kV_{max}\; 8/20\mus\; 2.1kA_{max}$, it is confirmed that proposed TOBD has an excellent protection performance in tight clamping voltage and limiting current characteristics.

A high speed address recovery technique for AC plasma display panel(PDP) is proposed. Replacing GND switch by clamping diode. the recovery speed can be increased by saving GND hold-time and switching loss due to GND switch also becomes also be reduced. The proposed method is able to perform load-adaptive operation by controlling the voltage level of energy recovery capacitor, which prevents increasing inefficient power consumption caused by circuit loss during recovery operation. Test results with 50' HD single-scan PDP(resolution = 1366$\times$768) show that less than 3sons of recovery time is successfully accomplished and about$54\%$ of the maximum power consumption can be reduced, tracing minimum power consumption curves.

Multilevel Inverters (MLIs) are widely used in medium voltage applications due to their various advantages. In addition, there are numerous types of MLIs for such applications. However, the diode-less 3-level (3L) T-type Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) MLI is the most advantageous due to its low conduction losses and high potential efficiency. The power circuit of a 3L T-type NPC is derived by the conventional two level inverter by a slight modification. In order to explore the MLI performance for various Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) schemes, this paper examines the operation of a 3L (five level line to line) T-type NPC MLI for various types of Multi-Carriers Pulse Width Modulation (MCPWM) schemes. These PWM schemes are compared in terms of their voltage profile, total harmonic distortion (THD) and conduction losses. In addition, a 3L T-type NPC MLI is also compared with the conventional NPC in terms of number of switches, clamping diodes, main diodes and capacitors. Moreover, the capacitor-balancing problem is also investigated using the Neutral Point Fluctuation (NPF) method with all of the MCPWM schemes. A 1kW 3L T-type NPC MLI is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink and implemented experimentally and its performance is tested with a 1HP induction motor. The results indicate that the 3L T-type NPC MLI has better performance than conventional NPC MLIs.

In the dissertation, a power conversion system for fuel cell is composed of a PWM inverter with LC filter in order to convert fuel cell voltage to a single phase 220[V], In addition, new insulated DC-DC converters are proposed in order that fuel cell voltage is boosted to 380[V]. In this paper, it requires smaller components than existing converters, which makes easy control. The proposed DC-DC converter controls output power by the adjustment of phase-shift width using switch S5 and S6 in the secondary switch, which provides 93-97[%] efficiency in the wide range of output voltage. Fuel cell simulator is implemented to show similar output characteristics to actual fuel cell. Appropriate dead time td enables soft switching to the range where the peak value of excitation current in a high frequency transformer is in accordance with current in the primary circuit. Moreover, appropriate setting to serial inductance La reduces communication loss arisen at light-load generator and serge voltage arisen at a secondary switch and serial diode. Finally, TMS320C31 board and EPLD using PWM switching technique to act a single phase full-bridge inverter which is planed to make alternating current suitable for household.

소형의 반도체와 회로로 구성되어진 전자기기는 뇌과전압으로부터 ZnO 바리스터, 지너다이오드, 가스방전관과 같은 서지보호장치 (SPDs)에 의해 보호되고 있다. 그러나 SPD의 제한전압은 SPD의 설치방법에 따라 커다란 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 전원계통의 접지방식에 따른 SPD의 보호효과에 대하여 실험적으로 검토하였다. 독립접지는 SPD의 설치방법에 있어서 그다지 바람직하지 않다. 또한 가스방전관보다 ZnO 바리스터의 한 점을 공통접지하는 것이 더 효과적이다. SPD의 단자에 공통접지하는 것이 SPD의 설치방법에 있어서 가장 효과적임을 제안하였다.
