Renewable energy is being spotlighted as the electric power generating source for the next generation. Due to an increase in renewable energy systems in the grid system, their impact on the grid has become non-negligible. Thus, many countries in the world, including Europe, present their own grid codes for grid power conversion devices. In order to experiment with these grid codes, grid fault test equipment is required. This paper proposes both equipment and a control method, which are constructed with a 7-level cascaded H-bridge converter, that are capable of generating various grid faults. In addition, the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) method for multilevel converters is compared and analyzed. The proposed structure, the control method, and the PWM method are verified through simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, It is indicating that an issues of the conventional boost converter for high frequency induction heating. To improve those issues, it is proposed, simulated and analyzed that the current resonant circuit, simulated. As the result, we knew that the proposed circuit has a good point to improve the waveform of input current and to make high efficiency. On the other side, in the inverter for the high current power supply, it is proposed that the high frequency inverter of the half bridge topology, be done the circuit analysis to extract the optimal circuit parameter. It is making sure of the soft switching operating by the inductor to reverse parallel connected on the inverter main switch, decreasing the surge voltage when the switch is turn-off by compulsion, and repressing the switch current and bringing the high current amplitude operation by the multi resonance.

DC/DC컨버터로는 동기형 벅 컨버터가 사용되었다. 안정기의 효율을 높이기 위해 가변 주파수 방식을 제안하였다. 이 방식은 순환 전류와 정전력 동작 하에서 MOSFET 스위치의 턴 오프 손실을 감소 시켜 고정 주파수 방식에 비해 안정기 효율을 약 4$\%$ 향상 시킨다. 회로 구성은 PFC와 안정기 2단으로 구성된다 결과는 실험을 통하여 검증된다.

A new controller for switching audio power amplifier with digital PWM input is proposed- Bi-directional Saw-tooth Error Correction (BSEC). This control method for high quality switching amplifier is based on a pulsed edge correction approach using PWM audio signal input as a reference of power switching digital to analog converter. The proposed controller has excellent features such as wide error correction range and no limitation on the modulation index. The controller is implemented in the half-bridge class D amplifier and the performance is verified through hardware experiments. It delivers 100W into 4${\Omega}$ load with less than 0.2% of total harmonic distortion (THD) all over operating range and an maximum efficiency of 82%.

This paper describes the performance improvement of dc TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welder. The TIG welder consists of single phase full bridge IGBT inverter which incorporates the high frequency transformer, the boost converter for improving the input power factor, and the arc start system. The arc will be generated without fail even when the extension cable between the torch and the power source is 100m long. In addition, the arc start system with a short dc output voltage will generate less EMI noise than the traditional arc start system with a high frequency output voltage. To demonstrate the practical significance of the proposed methods, some simulation studies are presented.

This paper presents a new motor design well suited for an advanced exercise bike. The advanced exercise bike setup high demands for performance and physical dimensions, which is high torque, wide speed range and a diameter/length ratio around 5. These requirements makes the new motor design called an E-core Transverse Flu Machine (ETFM) vev interesting because the segmented design of the stator and rotor poles enables high diameter without increasing the flux-path and since the ETFM is similar to the switched reluctance motor, high torque and wide speed range is possible. The design of the ETFM can be peformed using a developed design program, which is also introduced in the paper. A prototype of the exercise bike with the ETFM and a classical H-bridge converter with analog current control is constructed for verification of the concept.

본 논문에서는 단상 H-bridge 구조의 VSC (Voltage Source Converter)를 이용하여 계통전원을 사용하는 부하의 고조파 전류 보상기능과 전원 Back-up 기능을 갖는 부하전력보상기를 보여준다. 이 두 제어 기능은 전원전압의 유무에 따라 APF의 컨버터 동작과 UPS의 인버터로 동작하게 함으로써 기존 UPS에 부하 전류의 고조파 보상이라는 부가적인 이득을 갖는 이중전력보상기(Dual Function Power Compensator)라 할 수 있다. 컨버터 제어는 Battery 충전 동작과 APF 동작을 동시에 수행하며, 인버터 제어는 정전시 부하에 전원을 공급하는 UPS로서의 동작을 수행하게 된다. 두가지 동작이 성공적으로 수행되기 위해서는 1. 전원전압의 신속한 검출과 판단, 2. 컨버터의 Battery 충전, 3. APF동작을 위한 부하전류의 고조파 전류계산, 4. 전원전압의 동기추종 등이 각각의 동작모드별로 순조롭게 연계동작 되어 야 한다. 본 논문에서는 DFPC의 발생배경과 제안된 DFPC 제어모드의 구분을 결정하는 전원전압의 검출방법에 대하여 소개한다. 그리고 제안된 DFPC의 실제 시스템을 제작하여 각각의 동작상황과 성능을 시험하여 그 결과를 보여준다.

We have developed a compact high frequency switch mode converter (HFSMC) power supply with DC 50 kV output voltage and 10 kW output power. Since the inverter circuit uses 25 kHz rescharging scheme, the current is flowing with t kHz. For the efficient output voltage transform performed a simple design process using the transformer principle and the commercial specification. For the DC 50 kV output, we employed 7 pa windings of secondary coils for the series stac connection of the output with full-bridge rectifi In this paper the design detail and the test re the high frequency transformer together with HFSMC power supply are presented.

In this paper, an exact mathematical model is derived for an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve actuator driven by an H-bridge converter. Particularly, a spring torque model of the EGR valve is proposed. The spring torque model is proposed by converting spring force and Coulomb frictional force in linear motion into a rotational torque. Moreover, a mechanical end-stop model was proposed by the valve mechanism. The accuracy of the proposed model is verified by comparing the experimental results with the simulated results.
