This paper describes a single pulse-width modulation control strategy using the Single Pulse-Width Modulation (SPWM) method with a soft-switching technique for a wide range of output voltages from a bidirectional Dual-Active Bridge (DAB) converter. This method selects two typical inductor current waveforms for soft-switching, and proposes a rule that makes it possible to achieve soft-switching without any compensation algorithm from the waveforms. In addition, both the step-up and step-down conditions are analyzed. This paper verifies that the leakage inductance is independent from the rule, which makes it easier to apply in DAB converters. An integrated algorithm, which includes step-up and step-down techniques, is proposed. The results of experiments conducted on a 50-kW prototype are presented. The system efficiency is experimentally verified to be from 85.6% to 97.5% over the entire range.

This paper presents a high speed synchronous single inductor dual output boost converter using Type-III compensation for power management in smart devices. Maintaining multiple outputs from a single inductor is becoming very important because of inductor the sizes. The uses of high switching frequency, inductor and capacitor sizes are reduced. Owing to synchronous rectification this kind of converter is suitable for SoC. The phase is controlled in time sharing manner for each output. The controller used here is Type-III, which ensures quick settling time and high stability. The outputs are stable within $58{\mu}s$. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves a better overall performance. The input voltage is 1.8V, switching frequency is 5MHz, and the inductor used is 600nH. The output voltages and powers are 2.6V& 3.3V and 147mW &, 230mW respectively.

This research investigates the effect of fashion leadership on Word of Mouth (WOM) communications on the Internet. This research categorizes consumers into groups by fashion leadership and compares the groups regarding the WOM behavior (degrees of WOM acceptance and delivery as well as the motivations of WOM acceptance and delivery). The subjects of the study were 325 males and females. Major statistical methods used for the study were factor analysis, ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$'s test, and chi-square test. The results categorized consumers into five groups by fashion leadership (dual leaders, fashion innovators, fashion opinion leaders, fashion followers, and fashion laggards). There were significant differences among fashion leadership groups over WOM behavior (acceptance and delivery) and monthly clothing expenditures. Fashion dual leaders had a higher degree of WOM acceptance with motivation of fashion information acquisition and compliance, and they had a higher degree of WOM delivery through motivation of economic compensation, pleasure, and advice. In addition, they had a higher expenditure for clothing products. Fashion innovators had a lower degree of compliance in WOM acceptance. Fashion opinion leaders had a higher degree of WOM delivery through motivation from advice. Fashion followers delivered WOM through motivation of economic compensation and advice. Fashion laggards had a lower degree of WOM acceptance and delivery.

비디오 압축 코덱으로 널리 이용되는 H.264 표준의 움직임 보상기는 디코더에서 가장 복잡하고 연산시간이 많이 소모되는 유닛이다. 이러한 움직임 보상기의 성능을 결정하는 연산기가 보간 연산기(interpolator)이다. 1/4 보간 연산을 위해 휘도 픽셀은 6 탭 FIR 필터 연산이, 색차 픽셀은 2 탭 FIR 필터 연산이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 복잡한 연산을 효과적으로 수행하는 고성능 보간 연산기 구조를 제안한다. 제안하는 구조는 이중 채널과 파이프라인 방식의 연산기로 구성되고 정수, 1/2, 1/4 보간 연산을 모두 수행할 수 있다. 연산기는 복잡도를 줄이기 위해 덧셈기와 쉬프터만으로 구성되면서도 반올림 오차가 전파되지 않도록 하여 연산결과의 정확도를 유지할 수 있다. 또한 보간 연산기의 구조는 연산기의 수를 조절하여 성능과 면적을 조절할 수 있다. 제안된 구조에 따라 휘도 및 색차 데이터를 위한 보간 연산기를 각각 Verilog-HDL을 이용하여 설계하여 동작과 성능을 검증하였다.

To improve the power quality of distributed generation (DG) systems even in the presence of distorted grid condition, dual current control scheme of a grid-connected inverter is proposed. The proposed current control scheme is achieved by decomposing the inverter state equations into the fundamental and harmonic components. The derived models are employed to design dual current controllers. The conventional PI decoupling current controller is used in the fundamental model to control the main power flow in DG systems. At the same time, the predictive control is applied in the harmonic model to suppress undesired harmonic currents to zero quickly. To decompose the voltage inputs and state variables into the fundamental and harmonic components, the fourth order band pass filter (BPF) is designed in the discrete-time domain for a digital implementation. For experimental verification, 2kVA prototype of a grid-connected inverter has been constructed using digital signal processor (DSP) TMS320F28335. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is demonstrated through comparative simulation and experimental results.

This paper proposes an efficient measurement system for the velocity and direction of the wind using the dual rotor wind power generator in vessel. Conventional digital measurement system recognizes the direction and the velocity of the wind using the electric compass or synchronous motor and Vane probe method using hall sensors. But each system has its own short-comings: the synchronous motor has a larger measurement error than the magnetic compass and magnetic compass is weak for the external disturbances such as fluctuation of the vessel. To compensate these short-comings, this paper proposes a new compensation algorithm for the fluctuation errors according to the external interference and the unexpected movement of the vessel along the roll and pitch directions. The proposed system is implemented with the dual compasses and a synchronous motor. The proposed independent power generation system can be operated by itself and can raise the efficiency of the wind power generation systems of 30 ~ 400 W installed along the vertical and horizontal axes. The proposed system also realizes the efficient and reliable power production system by the MPPT algorithm for the real-time recognition of the wind direction and velocity. An advanced switching algorithm for the battery charging system has been also proposed. Effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been verified through the real experiments and the results are demonstrated.

인버터의 전압 변조방식으로 널리 쓰이는 삼각파 캐리어 PWM 방식은 기준전압이 캐리어의 최대치에 가까워지면 데드타임 보상의 영향으로 직류전압을 최대로 이용할 수 없다. 따라서 데드타밍이 없는 이상적인 인버터의 경우에 비교하여 데드타임 효과 만큼 전압이용율이 낮아진다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 제시된 것이 이중 캐리어 PWM방식으로 데드타임에 관계없이 전압이용율을 최대로 할 수 있다. 그러나 기준전압이 캐리어의 최대치에 가까운 구간에서의 기준전압의 변화 패턴에 따라 데드타임 확보되지 못하는 경우가 생기고, 따라서 기준전압을 변화시킬 때 이러한 경우를 회피하기 위한 주의를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 기준전압 변화 패턴에 제약이 없는 새로운 이중 캐리어 PWM 방식과 이의 실제적인 설계에 관하여 제시한다.

Due to the charge compensation effect, SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) LIGBT with dual-epi layer have been found to exhibit both low forward voltage drop and high static breakdown voltage. In this paper, electrical characteristics of the SOI LIGBT with dual-epi structure is presented. Trenched anode structure is employed to obtain uniform current flowlines and shorted anode structure also employed to prevent the fast latch-up. Latching current density of the proposed LIGBT with $T_1=T_2=2.5{\mu}m,\;N_1=7{\times}10^{15}/cm^3,\;N_2=3{\times}10^{15}/cm^3$ is $800A/cm^2$ and breakdown voltage is 125V while latching current density and breakdown voltage of the conventional LIGBT is $700A/cm^2$ and 55V.

The purpose of this paper is to study a high-performance control scheme for neutral-point-clamping three-level (NPC-3L) inverter fed dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives by considering some asymmetric factors such as the non-identical parameters in phase windings. To implement this, the system model is analyzed for dual three-phase PMSM drives with asymmetric factors based on the vector space decomposition (VSD) principle. Based on the equivalent circuits, PI controllers with feedforward compensation are used in the d-q subspace for regulating torque, where the cut-off frequency of the PI controllers are set at the twice the fundamental frequency for compensating both the additional DC component and the second order component caused by asymmetry. Meanwhile, proportional resonant (PR) controllers are proposed in the x-y subspace for suppressing the possible unbalanced currents in the phase windings. A dual three-phase space vector modulation (DT-SVM) is designed for the drive, and the balancing factor is designed based on the numerical fitting surface for balancing the DC link capacitor voltages. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical analysis and the proposed control scheme.
