An interleaved single-stage AC/DC converter with a boost converter and an asymmetrical half-bridge topology is presented to achieve power factor correction, zero voltage switching (ZVS) and load voltage regulation. Asymmetric pulse-width modulation (PWM) is adopted to achieve ZVS turn-on for all of the switches and to increase circuit efficiency. Two ZVS half-bridge converters with interleaved PWM are connected in parallel to reduce the ripple current at input and output sides, to control the output voltage at a desired value and to achieve load current sharing. A center-tapped rectifier is adopted at the secondary side of the transformers to achieve full-wave rectification. The boost converter is operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to automatically draw a sinusoidal line current from an AC source with a high power factor and a low current distortion. Finally, a 240W converter with the proposed topology has been implemented to verify the performance and feasibility of the proposed converter.

The design of Intelligent Energy Saving Power System Controller (IESPSC) for Telecom DC power plants is proposed and presented in this paper. From the past experience. rectifiers for Telecom DC power plants have been operated inefficiently at light loads. IESPSC offers "novel load sharing" approach based on the knowledge of each unit's efficiency of paralleled rectifiers. Neural networks is used for identifying each rectifier's efficiency characteristic curve corresponding to load currents, which is in turn utilized to produce a system efficiency close to the maximum under all operating conditions. In addition, by limiting the number of operating units to the minimum while maintaining high efficiency at the determined loads, a drastic savings in operating cost can be achieved.

This paper presents a Bidirectional High-Frequency Link (BHFL) inverter that utilizes the Deadbeat controller. The main features of this topology are the reduced size of the inverter and fewer power switches. On the secondary side of the transformer, the active rectifier employs only two power switches, thus reducing switching losses. Using this configuration, the inverter is capable of carrying a bidirectional power flow. The inverter is controlled by a Deadbeat controller, which consists of the inner current loop, outer voltage loop and a feedforward controller. Additional disturbance decoupling networks are employed to improve the system's robustness towards load variations. A 1-kVA prototype inverter has been constructed and the Deadbeat control algorithm is experimentally verified. The experimental results show that the inverter has high efficiency (91%) with low steady state output voltage total harmonics distortion (1.5%).

This paper investigates a power supply of medium voltage with enhanced ignition characteristics for plasma torch. Series resonant half-bridge topology is presented to be a suitable ignition circuitry. The ignition circuitry is integrated into the main power conversion system of a multi-phase staggered three-level dc-dc converter with a diode front-end rectifier. The plasma torch rated for 3MW, 2kA and having the physical size of 1m long is selected to be a high enthalpy source in waste disposal system. The steady-state and transient operations of plasma torch are simulated. The parameters of Cassie-Mary arc model are calculated based on 3D magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. Circuit simulation waveform shows that the ripple of arc current can be maintained within ${\pm}10%$ of its rated value under the existence of load disturbance. This power conversion configuration provides high enough ignition voltage around 5KA during ignition phase and high arc stability under the existence of arc disturbance noise resulting in a high-performance plasma torch system.

대용량 유도전동기용 인버터 개발을 위한 부하 장치는 고가의 제작 비용 및 제작에 많은 시간이 필요하므로 유도전동기 및 부하 장치를 대체할 수 있는 시뮬레이터 개발에 대한 필요가 증대되고 있다. 기존의 대용량 3상 유도전동기의 인버터용 부하 시뮬레이터는 리액터와 3상 PWM 정류기를 사용하여 시험용 인버터의 전류를 제어함으로써 단지 인버터의 부하로만 작용할 뿐 유도전동기의 특성을 모사하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 LCL 필터와 3상 PWM 정류기를 이용하여 3상 유도전동기의 모델과 부하 특성을 모사할 수 있는 실시간 시뮬레이터를 제안한다. PWM 인버터에 흐르는 전류는 3상 유도전동기의 고정자 전류를 모사하며 LCL 필터의 인덕터에 흐르는 전류와 커패시터 전압에 의해 제어된다. LCL 필터의 커패시터 전압은 3상 유도전동기의 회전자 자속에 의해 고정자 권선에 유기되는 유도기전력을 모사하며 인덕터 전류와 PWM 정류기에 의해 제어된다. 3상 유도전동기의 회전자 전류, 고정자 및 회전자 자속, 전동기 토크, 슬립 주파수 및 회전자 속도는 인버터에 흐르는 전류와 유도전동기의 상수로부터 유도된다. MATLAB/Simulink 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 3상 유도전동기용 실시간 시뮬레이터의 전기적, 기계적 모델 특성 및 벡터제어 동작을 검증하였다.

A contact-less power supply system (CPS) allows electrical energy to supply to mobile consumers without any electrical or mechanical contact. CPS works in the same principle as a transformer, with the track litz cable forming the primary circuit and the pickup as the secondary. The track power supply generates the high frequency alternating current in the track cable. The captured AC magnetic field generated by the track conductors produces electrical energy in the pickup coil and the pickup rectifier converts the high frequency AC power to DC while regulating the power to the load. This paper presents the theoretical analysis, simulation and experiment리 results of the series-parallel resonant converter working as contact-less power supply system.

대용량 전원장치의 정류기는 입력전류의 고조파를 줄이기 위해, 입력 전류 제어기능을 갖는 3상 PWM 정류기의 적용이 확대되고 있다. 3상 PWM 정류기의 전압제어기는 일반적으로 PI 제어기가 사용되며, 출력 전압의 안정성을 얻고 신뢰성을 확보하기 위하여 전압 제어기는 출력전압의 과도상태에서 오버슈트(Overshoot)를 작게 설계한다. 그러나 부하 변동이 급격한 대용량 통신용 전원 장치에 3상 PWM 정류기가 적용될 경우 빠른 부하 변동에 대한 안정적 전압 응답을 얻기 위하여 보다 넓은 대역폭을 갖도록 전압 제어기를 설계할 필요가 있다. 넓은 대역폭을 갖는 PI 제어기는 과도한 출력전압의 오버슈트가 발생될 수 있으며, 이 과도한 출력전압 오버슈트는 통신용 전원의 안정성을 해칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 과도 상태에서 출력전압의 오버슈트를 작게 하기 위하여 IP 제어기를 갖는 3상 PWM 정류기의 전압 제어기를 제안한다. 제안된 전압 제어기는 3상 PWM 정류기의 기동 시와 부하 변동시의 과도 응답특성을 개선될 수 있음을 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

In this paper, efficiency and loss characteristics of GaN FET were reported by applying it into the QR flyback converter. In particular, for the comparison of efficiency characteristics, QR flyback converter experimental circuits with Si FET and with GaN FET were separately produced in 12W class. As a result of the experiment, the experimental circuit of the QR flyback converter using GaN FET reached a high efficiency of 90% or more when the load power was 2W or more, and the maximum efficiency was observed to be about 92%, and the maximum loss power was about 1.1W. Meanwhile, the efficiency of the experimental circuit with Si FET increased as the input voltage increased, and the maximum efficiency was observed to be about 82% when the load power was 9W or higher, and the maximum loss power was about 2.8W. From the results, it is estimated that that in the case of the experimental circuit applying the GaN FET switch, the power conversion efficiency was improved as the switching loss and conduction loss due to on-resistance were reduced, and the internal loss due to the synchronous rectifier was minimized. Consequently, it is concluded that the GaN FET is suitable for under 20W class power supply unit as a high efficiency power switch.

Because of the high cost for the active power filter, passive filters have been widly used to eliminate harmonic currents of nonlinear load and can also improve the power factor. They are not often optimal filters because the passive filters are designed under the fixed load conditions. In this paper we proposed the method which only the necessary harmonic filters are operated by detecting the various harmonic current components. We presents the new control method of passive filter selection type with the relay control circuit which is consist of analog GIC, comparater, flip-flop and etc. By the experimental results using the proposed system for the rectifier load, we concluded that the researched method is cost effective and the performance is better than the passive filter.
