This paper proposes a control methodology for a high efficiency operation of an inductive power transfer (IPT) converter by combining full bridge (FB) and half bridge (HB) controls. To apply the proposed control to the IPT converter, the characteristics of each control method are analyzed. By examining the output voltages of the IPT converter and a theoretical loss analysis, the control shifting points between FB and HB controls are evaluated in accordance with the coupling coefficients and the load. Based on the control shifting points, the FB-HB control algorithm is implemented. By applying FB-HB control, high efficiency operation at the light load condition can be achieved.

This paper presents a mode transition method that applies frequency compensation technique of an LLC resonant converter for stable mode transition. LLC resonant converters used in various applications require high efficiency and high power density. However, because of circuit property, a wider voltage gain range equates to a greater circuit loss, so maintaining high efficiency at all voltage gain ranges is difficult. In this case, full bridge-half bridge mode transition method can be used, which maintains high efficiency even in a wide voltage gain range. However, this method causes damage to the circuit through overcurrent by the mode transition. This study analyzes the cause of the problem and proposes a mode transition method that applies frequency compensation technique to solve the problem. The proposed method verifies the stable transition through simulation analysis and experimental results.

본 연구에서는 실험적 모드해석 기법을 이용하여 외부환경에 직접 노출되어 있는 실제 철도판형교의 full-scale 동적 테스트가 수행되었다. 충격해머 모드실험에 의해 얻어진 철도판형교의 모드 매개변수를 유한요소해석으로부터 구한 고유진동수와 모드형상과 비교, 분석하였다. 실험적 모드해석에 의해 측정된 실험 데이터와 해석적 진동분석에서 얻어지는 출력만의 데이터를 교량 부재의 기하학적 특성 및 재료적 특성을 다양하게 고려하여 모델보정 테크닉에 적용하였다. 철도판형교의 실험적 모드해석 결과를 검증하기 위한 유한요소모델이 모드인식 기법을 이용하여 보정되었다. 실험 데이터와 유한요소해석 기준모델의 모델보정과정의 결과와 함께 부재특성의 변화를 통하여 이루질 수 있는 손상평가에 대한 기초적 데이터베이스가 제공된다.

The Maanshan Bridge over Yangtze River in China is a new long-span suspension bridge with double main spans of $2{\times}1080m$ and a closed streamline cross-section of single box deck. The flutter and buffeting performances were investigated via wind tunnel tests of a full bridge aeroelastic model at a geometric scale of 1:211. The tests were conducted in both smooth wind and simulated boundary layer wind fields. Emphasis is placed on studying the interference effect of adjacent span via installing a wind deflector and a wind separating board to shelter one span of the bridge model from incoming flow. Issues related to effects of mid-tower stiffness and deck supporting conditions are also discussed. The testing results show that flutter critical wind velocities in smooth flow, with a wind deflector, are remarkably lower than those without. In turbulent wind, torsional and vertical standard deviations for the deck responses at midspan in testing cases without wind deflector are generally less than those at the midspan exposed to wind in testing cases with wind deflector, respectively. When double main spans are exposed to turbulent wind, the existence of either span is a mass damper to the other. Furthermore, both effects of mid-tower stiffness and deck supporting conditions at the middle tower on the flutter and buffeting performances of the Maanshan Bridge are unremarkable.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to analyze and evaluate the behavior of orthotropic steel bridge deck pavement using three-dimensional finite element analysis and full-scale wheel load testing. METHODS: Since the layer thickness and material properties used in the bridge deck pavement are different from its condition, it is very difficult to measure and access the behavior of bridge deck pavement in the field. To solve this problem, the full-scale wheel load testing was conducted on the PSMA/Mastic bridge deck pavement and the deflection of bridge deck and horizontal tensile strain on top of pavement were measured under the loading condition. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted to predict the behavior of bridge deck pavement and the predicted deflection and tensile strain values are compared with measured values from the wheel loading testing. RESULTS: Test results showed that the predicted deflections are 10% lower than measured ones and the error between predicted and measured horizontal tensile strain values is less than 2% in the critical location. CONCLUSIONS: The fact indicates that the proposed the analysis is found to be accurate for estimating the behavior of bridge deck pavements.

This paper proposes a new single stage power factor correction (PFC) full bridge converter which operates at continuous conduction mode(CCM). The proposed single stage PFC consists of typical zero voltage switching(ZVS) full bridge DC/DC converter, two transformer auxiliary windings, and two small inductors, and two diodes. Neither additional active switch nor any control circuit are added for PFC resulting in very low cost. The proposed converter provides input power factor correction with CCM control and tight output voltage regulation. All switching devices are operated under ZVS with minimum voltage stress. Operation principle and analysis are explained and verified with computer simulation and experimental results on a 1.2kW, 100kHz prototype.

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.

This study describes how digital time delay deteriorates control performance in zero voltage switching (ZVS) phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) converter. The small-signal model of the ZVS PSFB converter is derived from the buck-converter small-signal model. Digital time delay effects have been considered according to the digital sampling methods. The analysis verifies that digital time delays reduce the stability margin of the converter, and the double sampling technique exhibits better performance than the single sampling technique. Both simulation and experimental results based on 250 W ZVS PSFB confirm the validity of the analyses performed in the study.

This paper analyzes the losses of the switching device for a full bridge inverter connected to the grid. As the development of power conversion system, losses are dominant factors in judging the efficiency of a system. The losses of a switching device can be divided into switching loss and conduction loss, both of which can be estimated by analyzing periodic switching waveform. The switching loss is generated when the switch is turned on and off, while the conduction loss is generated when the switch is turned on. The estimated losses of the MOSFET switch are compared with the simulation results.
