This paper deals with the minimization of switching loss of a dual full-bridge bidirectional DC-DC converter for supercapacitor. In case of charging mode the switching loss can be minimized with proper switching pattern, and the switching loss in discharging mode can be minimized with soft switching. Simulation results show that the switching loss is reduced considerably.

In this paper, a predictive current control of 12-pulse parallel connected dual converter system without interphase reactors(IPR) is presented. Firstly, the characteristics of system without IPR are analyzed and compared with that of system with IPR. And the predictive current control of this system is discussed. Finally the validity of the presented system and the excellence of the predictive current control response is proved through the simulation results.

This paper describes the dynamical performance of a four-quadrant circulation current mode control of dc motor drive, using the controlled flywleeling technique, a four-quadrant closed-loop control drive with an inner current control loop and a speed fuzzy PI regulator is designed. The obtained computer simulation results of a dc motor drive below and above the base speed are demonstrated. These result show that compare to a conventional dual-converter-fed dc motor drive with simultaneous control, the overal system performance has been improved and also, agood stability and robstness has been achieved.

This paper presents a pulse density modulation (PDM) technique with a high frequency link for a dual output DC-DC converter. The proposed scheme consists of a fixed frequency AC link and independent PDM controllers for the output regulation, which provides a simple structure and higher efficiency. The simulation and experimental results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Nowadays, bidirectional DC-DC converters are becoming more into picture for different applications especially electric vehicles. There are many bidirectional DC-DC converters topologies; however, voltage-fed Dual Half-Bridge (DHB) topology has less number of switches as compared to other isolated bidirectional DC-DC converters. Furthermore, voltage fed DHB has galvanic isolation, high power density, reduced size, high efficiency and hence cost effective. Electrolytic capacitors always have problem regarding size and reliability in DC-AC single phase inverters. Therefore, voltage-fed DHB converter is proposed for the purpose of power decoupling to replace electrolytic capacitor by film capacitors. A new control strategy has been developed for 120Hz ripple rejection, and it was verified by simulation.

The combination of voltage feedforward and feedback control is a conventional approach for correcting the power factor in single-phase ac-dc boost converters. The feedback duty ratio increases significantly with an increase of the line frequency and input inductance. Therefore, the performance of the conventional approach is highly dependent on the bandwidth of the feedback controller. As a result, the input power quality can be significantly exacerbated due to uncompensated duty ratios if the feedback controller is limited. This paper proposes an input impedance and current feedforward control method to reduce the control portion of the feedback controller. The findings in this paper are 1) the theoretical derivation and analysis of variations of line frequency and input inductance on a power factor correction approach, 2) guaranteed consistent performance in a wide range of conditions, and 3) that a low switching frequency can be utilized by the proposed method. A MATLAB/Simulink model and a 1.2kW dual boost converter are built to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

We have developed a dual-channel type automatic measurement system to evaluate AC-DC current transfer difference of the thermal current converter(TCC) which is primary standard of AC current. The output drift effect of the TCC is minimized by measuring simultaneously the output voltages of two TCCs using voltmeter. Furthermore, the offset voltage of the voltmeter is cancelled nearly out by taking the average values of two outputs of TCCs measured with the forward-reverse directions using dual channel scanner. The uncertainties of the automatic system were 7 to $86{\mu}A/A$ for 3 mA to 10 A at 40 Hz to 20 kHz, which were evaluated by the comparisons between adjacent range of TCCs and inter-comparison with national measurement institute of Germany(PTB). The capability for ac-dc transfer difference measurement was improved by one order compared with that for the manual ac-dc measurement system.

This paper introduces the design of high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for hard disk drive (HDD) read channel applications. This circuit is bated on fast regenerative autozero comparator for high speed and low-error rate comparison operation, and Double Speed Dual ADC (DSDA) architecture for efficiently increasing the overall conversion speed of ADC. A new type of thermometer-to-binary decoder appropriate for the autozero architecture is employed for no glitch decoding, simplifying the conventional structure significantly. This ADC is designed for 6-bit resolution, 800 Msample/s maximum conversion rate, 390 mW power dissipation, one clock cycle latency in 0.65 m CMOS technology.

The conversion efficiency, durability and pressure drop of the automotive exhaust catalysts are dependent on the flow distribution within the substrate. Conventional porous medium approaches assuming monolith resistance based on the one-dimensional laminar flow for simulating the flow through the automotive exhaust catalysts over-predict the flow uniformity in the monolith. In this study, additional pressure loss is also considered by accounting for entrance effects due to the oblique flow incident on the front face of monolith as a consequence of flow separation and recirculation within the diffuser. The incorporation of an additional pressure loss improves the predictions for the maximum flow velocity within the substrate. An numerical study has also been conducted for the three-dimensional unsteady incompressible non-reacting flow inside various dual-monolith catalytic converters for the rapid acceleration/deceleration driving.
