This research was carried out experiments of variety IGBTs for industrial inverter and electric vehicle. The devices for this paper were planar gate IGBT, trench gate IGBT and dual gate IGBT and we designed using same design and process parameters. As a result of experiments, the electrical characteristics of planar gate IGBT were 1,459 V of breakdown voltage, 4.04 V of threshold voltage and 4.7 V of on-state voltage drop. And the electrical characteristics of trench gate IGBT were 1,473 V of breakdown voltage, 4.11 V of threshold voltage and 3.17 V of on-state voltage drop. Lastly, the electrical characteristics of dual gate IGBT were 1,467 V of breakdown voltage, 4.14 V of threshold voltage and 3.08V of on-state voltage drop. We almost knew that the trench gate IGBT was superior to dual gate IGBT in terms of breakdown voltage. On the other hand, the dual gate IGBT was better than the trench gate IGBT in terms of on state voltage drop.

A family of dual-DC-input (DI) dual-buck inverters (DBIs) is proposed by employing a DI switching cell as the input of traditional DBIs. Three power ports, i.e. a low voltage DC input port, a high voltage DC input port and an AC output port, are provided by the proposed DI-DBIs. A low voltage DC source, whose voltage is lower than the peak amplitude of the AC side voltage, can be directly connected to the DI-DBI. This supplies power to the AC side in single-stage power conversion. When compared with traditional DBI-based two-stage DC/AC power systems, the conversion stages are reduced, and the power rating and power losses of the front-end Boost converter of the DI-DBI are reduced. In addition, five voltage-levels are generated with the help of the two DC input ports, which is a benefit in terms of reducing the voltage stresses and switching losses of switches. The topology derivation method, operation principles, modulation strategy and characteristics of the proposed inverter are analyzed in-depth. Experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed DI-DBIs.

Two dimensional MEDICI simulator is used to study the characteristics of latch-up current of Dual Gate Emitter Switched Thyristor. The simulation is done in terms of the current-voltage characteristics, latch-up current density, ON-voltage drop and electrical property with the variations of p-base impurity concentrations. Compared with the other power devices such as MOS Controlled Cascade Thyristor(MCCT), Conventional Emitter Switched Thyristor(C-EST) and Dual Channel Emitter Switched Thyristor(DC-EST), Dual Gate Emitter Switched Thyristor(DG-EST) shows to have the better electrical characteristics, which is the high latch-up current density and low forward voltage-drop. The proposed DG-EST which has a non-planer p-base structure under the floating $N^+$ emitter indicates to have the better characteristics of latch-up current and breakover voltage.

This paper presents a new winding topology for MW class offshore wind generator having modular and dual 3-phase. Based on proposed simplified relationship between magnetic flux and phase current in the air gap, several new windings for modular and dual 3-phase are made. In case of one inverter operation or faulty operation, the proposed model can have balanced 3-phase induced voltage whereas the conventional generator with modular winding has unbalanced induced voltage, which can be important issue in offshore generator. The model was applied into 6MW prototype machine with dual 3-phase. Using finite element analysis, induced voltage, inductance were investigated. The results show that the proposed modular winding can be applicable to dual inverter system with electrically balanced voltage.

This study proposes an optimized design of a dual active bridge converter for a low-voltage charger in a military uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system. The dual active bridge converter is among various bi-directional DC/DC converters that possess a high-efficiency isolated bi-directional converter. In the general design, the zero-voltage switching(ZVS) region is reduced when the battery voltage is high. By contrast, efficiency is low because of high conduction losses when the battery voltage is low. Variable switching frequency is applied to increase the ZVS region and the power conversion efficiency, depending on battery voltage changes. At the same duty, the same power is obtained regardless of the battery voltage using the variable switching frequency. The proposed method is applied to a 5 kW prototype dual active bridge converter, and the experimental results are analyzed and verified.

This paper discribes the analysis of the breakdown voltage characteristics of SOI LIGBT with dual epi-layer. In case of SOI LIGBT with dual epi-layer, if we used high doping concentration in epi-layer, we obtained higher breakdown voltage compared with typical device because of charge compensation effect, and we obtained low on-state resistivity characteristic in the same breakdown voltage. In this paper, we analyzed on-state and off-state characteristics of SOI LIGBT with dual epi-layer. Breakdown voltage of proposed LIGBT was shown 125V when $T_1=T_2=2.5{\mu}m$, $N_1=7{\times}10^{15}/cm^3$ and $N_2=3{\times}10^{15}/cm^3$, respectively Although we used high doping concentration and thin epi-layer thickness, breakdown voltage was increased compared with conventional devices.

In this paper, a voltage type dual PWM converter which achives the bidirectional power flow between a AC supply and a DC bus voltage is described. In PWM modulator, there exist a time difference between the sampling time and carrier wave, it achieves stable modulation even the disturbance in the synchronous AC source voltage. And this paper proposes the compensation method and the control method related a disturbance of synchronous signal using the low pass filter and phase shifter for the stable modulation. As a result the voltage type dual PWM converter makes the imput current wave as sinusoid, and performs the high power factor driving.

A new dual-slope ramp (DSR) reset waveform is proposed to improve the dark room contrast ratio in AC-PDPs. The proposed reset waveform has two different voltage slopes during a ramp-up period. The first voltage slope is lower than the conventional ramp voltage slope, causing a reduction in the background luminance, whereas the second voltage slope is higher than the conventional ramp voltage slope, causing an increase in the background luminance. Thus, a bias voltage is also applied during the second voltage-slope period to adjust the background luminance and address discharge characteristics. As a result, the proposed dual-slope reset waveform can lower the background luminance, thereby improving the high dark room contrast ratio of an AC-PDP without reducing the address voltage margin

A power limiting algorithm is proposed for stable operation of grid-connected inverter in case of grid voltage unbalance considering the operation limit of inverter. During the voltage unbalance the control performance of Inverter. is degraded and the output power contains 120Hz ripple due to the negative sequence of voltage. In this paper, conventional dual sequence current controller is implemented to solve these problems using separated control of positive and negative sequence. Especially the maximum power limit which guarantees the maximum rated current of the inverter is automatically calculated as the instant grid voltage changes. As soon as the voltage recovers the proposed algorithm can return to the normal power control mode accomplishing low voltage ride through. Proposed algorithm is verifed using PSCAD/EMTDC simulations and tested experimentally at 4.4kW wind turbine simulator set-up.
