The single-phase switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive requires DC source which is generally supplied through a rectifier connected with a commercial source. The rectifier is consist of a diode full bridge and a filter circuit. Usually the filter circuit uses capacitor with large value capacitance to reduce ripple component of DC power. Although the peak torque ripple of SRM is small, the short charge and discharge current of the filter capacitor draws the low power factor and system efficiency. A modified single phase SRM drive system is presented in this paper, which includes drive circuit realizing reduction of torque ripple and improvement of power factor. In the proposed drive circuit, one switching part and diode which can separate the output of AC/DC rectifier from the filter capacitor is added. Also, a upper switch of drive circuit is exchanged a diode in order to reduce power switching device. Therefore the number of power switch device is not changed, two diodes are only added in the SRM drive. To verify the proposed system, some simulation and experimental results are presented.

Currently high power Light Emitting Diode (LED) is in the limelight due to its characteristics of long durability, low maintenance costs, and high efficiency. Furthermore, it does not emit pollutants or poisonous gases and is a light source not using mercury, so it holds a high status in eco-friendly terms as well. In this paper, we studied a two-stage LED power drive circuit that can compensate only voltage regulation through LED output current, in order to improve efficiency of LED drive with constant current control in accordance with changes in temperature. The proposed LED drive has an advantage of reducing LED drive's voltage losses by controlling only voltage change of input power, compared with an existing circuit which controls input voltage. The suggested non-insulation compensating circuit for voltage change was verified to have improved efficiency relative to a LED drive using existing DC/DC converter.

An existent hoist drive system is using each different drive equipment in control of Hoisting, traveling(T/L), traversing(T/S) driving, so there are much energy losses because of excessive weight. Also, power circuits are using relay contact, so working environment are frequent secession accident etc.. by shock on unfavorable condition, and there is danger of safety accident, maintenance has frequent problem and so on. To solve these problem, it is integrated each driving power supply in drive system for hoist control and drive, utility power supply etc.. by single device in this research. The power circuit is consisted of non-contact circuit applying to bidirectional voltage controller circuit using thyristor that is power semiconductor switching device

In this paper, a high efficiency motor drive system which improves the multi-step response of PM step motors by reducing the transition time of the motor drive current, is studied by designing a dual-voltage drive circuit. The designed drive circuit eventually prevents the motor from decreasing drive torque while the stepping rate is increased. The method of designing a dual-voltage drive circuit with the motor specifications is suggested in order to improve the response of step rate and drive efficiency. Also, despite improving the power efficiency on motor driving, the response characterstics suggested by the motor manufacture's specifications are satisfied without any special deficiency.

This paper deals with an active gate drive (AGD) technolo밍T for high power IGBTs. It is based on an optimal c combination of several requirements necessmy for good switching performance under hard switching conditions, The s scheme specifically combines together the slow drive requirements for low noise and switching stress and the fast driver requirements for high speed switching and low switching energy loss The gate drive can also effectively dampen oscillations during low cunent turnlongrightarrowon transient in the IGBT, This paper looks at the conflicting requirements of the c conventional gate dlive circuit design and the experimental results show that the proposed threelongleftarrowstage active gate dlive t technique can be an effective solution.

The Channel environment is poor in the power line communication because power line proposed power supply use a communication medium. In this paper, we designed gate drive circuit used coupler reducing the signal diminution for the good communication. We analyzed receiving and transmitting operation of the coupler and designed the drive circuit with the suitable impedance. As a result, we improved the environment of impedance variation due to the inter reaction of many electron products. So, to improve BER(45%) enabled us to communicate smoothly in power line communication.

A simple drive circuit without position sensors for a switched reluctance motor is presented. The turn on and turn off points are determined by detecting the rate of change of the active phase current. The drive circuit consists of a current sensing resistor, RC filter, comparator, OP Amp, and OR gates. It is verified through the experiments that the switched reluctance motor with the proposed sensorless drive circuit is well operated in wide speed ranges.
