This paper shows a structure for an electronic ballast of HID lamps. An electronic ballast for HID lamps usually employs a high-frequency resonant inverter and voltage-to-frequency converter to control the output. A half-bridge and series resonant circuit are chosen for the ballast. The inverter with V/F converter is modeled with a transfer function and a self-feedback controller is proposed. This structure is analyzed and the feedback gain is determined by using the inverter model. Experimental system is built with a commercial 250W high pressure sodium lamp and the results show a validity of the proposed ballast.

HID(high intensity discharge)lamps include high pressure mercury lamp, high pressure sodium lamp and metal halide lamp. Metal halide lamps have been considered to be one of the most erective light sources. These lamps have good efficiency, good color rendering and good focusing capability. The objective of this research is to alum on the metal halide lamp(MH70W) by the developed electronic ballast with free voltage input(AC 100∼277V). The developed electronic ballast consists of a free voltage input converter, a flyback converter ＆ half-bridge inverter, ignitor ＆ protector and control1er. Experimental results show that developed electronic ballast turns on the metal halide lamp(MH70W) with free voltage input(AC 100∼277V) very well.

HPSL(High Pressure Sodium lamp)have attracted much attention in recent years, because they offer high luminous efficiency and very long life. Recently, AC-DC converters have been widely as power factor improvement circuits in the power conversion equipment An application of the ZVT-PWM(Zero Voltage Transition Pulse Width Modulation) boost converter, which has great advantage on miniaturization and high power density, to the power factor improvement circuit of the HPSL inverter are described to identify the power factor correction characteristics of the inverter. In this paper the series-parallel resonant inverter(electronic ballast) for driving a HPS lamp is discussed. Finally, a power factor corrector is cascaded in front of the electronic ballast. Consequently, a high power factor above 0.99 and low THD on the line current can be achieved.

The thesis is used by PSpice circuit model to the characteristics of a fluorescent lamp modified form of he classical Cassie and Mayr equations in order to show the characteristics of HID(High-Intensity Discharge) Lamp. This is useful for applying high-frequency electric ballast for HID Lamp, and show that the result of experimentations and simulations, such as lamp rating, input voltage, high-frequency electric ballast which is using the ABM circuit model of the low pressure sodium lamp, come to the voltage and current wave.

HID(high intensity discharge)lamps are high pressure mercury lamp, high pressure sodium lamp and metalhalide lamp. metalhalide lamp among these lamps has considered to be one of the most effective artificial light sources and this lamp has good efficiency, good color rendition and good focusing capability, But the shortcorning of metalhalide lamp is known as acoustic resonance phenomena in the discharge tube when lighted by electronic ballast and then acoustic resonance cause various problems such as the arc instability, light output fluctuations. In this paper, to reduce the acoustic resonence phenomena, the electronic ballast was designed by three methods for high frequency operation wish frequency-modulated sinusodial waves in acoustic resonance frequency band. These frequency-modulated methods are resonance frequency and resonance frequency, resonance frequency and non-resonance frequency non-resonance frequency and non-resonance frequency Experiment results could't show the Presence of acoustic resonance visually and it proved that the resonance-generating conditions can be avoided by continuously changing the two operating frequencies in acoustic resonance band (20.59kHz∼94.2kHz).

Conventional HP(high pressure) sodium or Metal-halide lamps have a life span of around one year requiring at least annual replacement and maintenance. High Power LED lights require no regular maintenance further increasing savings on replacement bulbs, access equipment and labour costs. New installations benefit from a substantial reduction in the cost of expensive heavy duty cable required for sodium lighting. Especially, LED light can achieve variable color temperature, high functional performance in the field of street light. There are two main method to achieve variable color temperature function of the street light. one method is using RGB multi-chip LED, the other is using Orange-White LED method. In this paper, it was compare RGB Multi-chip LED with white-orange LED for there characteristics performance.

This paper presents a design techniques for an electronic ballast of HID lamps. An electronic ballast for HID lamps usually employs a high-frequeocy resonant inverter and voltage-to-frequency converter to control the outpIt and a half-bridge and series resonant circuit are chosen for the ballast First, to design PI controller, the inverter with V/F converter is modeled with a transfer function and the controller PI gains are determined. This paper shows that an integral controller is only needed to control the current. Second, a se1f-feedback controller is proposed. This structure, simple and robust, is analyzed and a feedback gain is determined by using the inverter model. Experirrental system is built with a commercial 250W high pressure sodium lamp and the results show a validity of the proposed ballast and the total efficiency is increased by 5%.
