A CCFL model for high frequency dimming electronic ballast simulation is presented in this paper. The model can be utilized for an electronic ballast simulation with continuous dimming and transient mode simulation such as step dimming.

The electric arc welding machine with high-frequency inverter is studied in this paper which could make more saving in energy than conventional ones with inherent low efficiency. The inverter circuit has been already adopted to special welding machines such as MIG and TIG for improving operating performances so much. But this adoption has not be applied to conventional ac arc welding machine until now. The proposed technology for higher efficiency is to apply the high frequency inverter, together with noise-cut transformer. Overall output characteristics are investigated in aspect of cost and circuit performance. The proposed system is conducted practical experiments using PWM controller.

With high penetration of renewable energies, power electronic transformers (PETs) will be one of the most important infrastructures in the future power delivery and management system. In this study, an isolated bidirectional modular multilevel DC/DC converter is proposed for PET applications. A modular multilevel structure is adopted as switching valves to sustain medium voltages to achieve modular design and high reliability. Only one high-frequency transformer is used in the proposed converter, which significantly simplifies the circuit and galvanic insulation design. A dual-phase-shift modulation strategy is proposed to regulate the output power and achieve a simple voltage balancing control. A down-scaled (2 kW/20 kHz) prototype is constructed to demonstrate the proposed converter and verify the control strategy. The experimental results comply with the theoretical analysis well, with the highest power efficiency reaching 97.6%.

This paper presents a novel non-resonant PWM DC-DC converter for X-ray high-voltage power generator using the parasitic impedances of the high-voltage high-frequency link transformer with its output high-voltage control scheme and steady-state characteristics compared to the conventional series-parallel resonant DC-DC converter. The key point of this approach is to evaluate effectiveness of reduction of the turn ratio of the high-voltage high-frequency transformer on improvements in power conversion efficiency and the power factor applying a boost AC-DC converter as DC voltage source, especially in the long exposure term and light output load ranges.

In this paper, a soft switching DC-DC converter for AC module type photovoltaic (PV) module integrated converter is proposed. A push-pull converter is suitable for a low voltage PV AC module system because the step-up ratio of a high frequency transformer is high and the number of primary side switches is relatively small. However, the conventional push-pull converters do not have high efficiency because of high switching losses by hard switching and transformer losses (copper and iron losses) by high turns-ratio of the transformer. In the proposed converter, primary side switches are turned on at zero voltage switching (ZCS) condition and turned off at zero current switching (ZVS) condition through parallel resonance between secondary leakage inductance of the transformer and a resonant capacitor. Therefore the proposed push-pull converter decreases the switching loss using soft switching of the primary switches. Also, the turns-ratio of the transformer can be reduced by half using a voltage-doubler of secondary side. The theoretical analysis of the proposed converter is verified by simulation and experimental results.

The health risks from the magnetic fields exposure have been brought out difficulties in the construction of transformer substation. According to several epidemiologic studies and the relevant international organizations, magnetic fields should not exceed the exposure limits of 3mG for the people living near electric power lines. The rigid regulation of the exposure levels for the elementary school and residental areas has been established already in Switzerland and Italy. Since 1998, the environmental impact assessment system in Korea has been reviewed for power-frequency magnetic field by precautionary policies. In this study, the possible application of Prior Environmental Performance Review System for the transformer substation was reviewed from the points of the properties of the powerfrequency magnetic fields. The ranges and survey methods of the assessment for the transformer substation were proposed. The ranges of magnetic fields was between 300m to 500m for the 345kV transformer substation. It is necessary to develop further specific assessment methods for various high-voltage transformer substations.

본 연구에서는 압전 변압기를 이용한 T5 28급 전자식 안정기를 제작하여 그에 관한 특성을 조사하였다. 제작된 전자식 안정기는 크게 정류부와 능동형 역률 개선 회로부, 마이크로 컨트롤러를 이용한 주파수 발진부와 피드백 제어 회로부, 그리고 하프-브리지 인버터 회로 및 압전 변압기포 구성하였다. 사용된 원칩 마이크로 컨트롤러(AT90S4433)는 주파수를 발진하는 발진 회로부와 형광램프에 인가된 전류값을 측정하여 램프의 구동여부를 판단하는 피드백 제어 회로부로 구성하였으며, 내부 프로그램에 의해 일정 주파수에서 주파수를 감소시킴으로서 램프 방전을 유도하고 방전을 확인 후 정상상태 구동을 하는 주파수 대포의 이동을 통해 형광램프에 일정한 출력을 유지하였다. 결과적으로 개발된 전자식 안정기는 기존의 자기식 안정기가 무겁고 부피가 크며 많은 손실과 깜박거림(Flicker)현상을 지니는 반면에, 75[kHz]대의 고주파수로 동작하면서 99.5[%]이상의 높은 역률과 12[%]이하의 낮은 총 고조파 왜곡률(THD), 그리고 1.5이하의 CF(Crest Factor)를 나타낸다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제작된 압전형 안정기근 기존의 안정기를 대체할 수 있으며, 소형 경량화 되고 높은 효율을 지니게 되므로 경제적 측면에서의 장점도 기대된다.

This paper proposes a three-level LLC resonant converter using integrated magnetics (IM). Given that the switch voltage stress of the proposed converter is guaranteed to be half of the input voltage, the switching losses can be greatly reduced, thereby benefitting the high-frequency operation. To reduce the volume of reactive components such as transformers, high-frequency driving and planar core are applied. However, two resonant inductors and one transformer are required because of the three-level structure and the limited leakage inductance of the planar transformer for the resonant operation. Therefore, the effect of volume reduction is not very large. In order to solve these drawbacks, this paper proposes a new IM that integrates all magnetic elements used in the proposed three-level resonant converter by using the magnetizing inductor as a resonant inductor. The experimental results are presented by conducting a theoretical analysis of a prototype with 350 W to 800 kHz.
