A novel dual DC-DC flyback converter with leakage-energy recycling is presented in this paper. Only an active switch is used for this converter. A pulse-width-modulation strategy is adopeted to control this switch. Two transformers are employed for the proposed converter. During the switch ON-period, the primary windings of the two transformers store energies. At the switch OFF-period, the energies stored in the primary windings of the two transformers are released to the output via the secondary windings of the two transformers. Meanwhile, the leakage energies of the two transformers can be recycled. The operating principles and steady-state analyses of the proposed converter are described in detail. A prototype circuit of the proposed converter is implemented for verifying the performances.

This paper presents a low-power voltage converter based on a reconfigurable capacitor array. Its energy recycling capacitor array stores the energy during a charge stage and supplies the voltage during an energy recycle stage even after the power source is disconnected. The converter reconfigures the capacitor array step-wise to boost the lost voltage level during the energy recycle stage. Its energy saving is particularly effective when most of the energy remaining in the charge capacitors is wasted by the leakage current during a longer sleep period. Simulations have been conducted using a voltage source of 500 mV to supply a $V_{DD}$ of around 800 mV to a load circuit consisting of four 32-bit adders in a 65-nm CMOS process. Results demonstrate energy recycling efficiency of 85.86% and overall energy saving of 40.14% compared to a conventional converter, when the load circuit is shortly active followed by a long sleep period.

전력설비의 $SF_6$ 가스 배출저감을 통한 CDM 방법론 AM0035(Approved Methodology 0035. Ver 1.0)를 적용한 사업은 EB(Executive Board) 41차 회의 결과에 따라 $SF_6$ 가스의 운영 상태 및 과정, 불확도를 포함한 베이스 라인, 프로젝트 배출량 산정에 주요 매개변수의 직접 모니터링을 명확하게 입증해야 한다. 본 연구를 통하여 유지보수 시 회수율, 폐기 교체 전 후 가스 순도, 재처리(reclamation) 전 후 $SF_6$ 가스 손실률, 회수 설비 및 재처리 설비의 전력사용량에 의한 배출량, 운반 시 발생되는 누출량(leakage)의 다양한 모니터링 결과를 보수적으로 고려하였다. 그 결과, 기존 방법론보다 베이스 라인 배출량이 감소하고, 프로젝트 배출량이 증가되어 저감량이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.
