This paper proposes a new three-phase diode rectifier system with a sinusoidal input current at unity power factor and a regulated and isolated output voltage at low level. The inherent natural wave-shaping capability of the reduced kVA polyphase transformer together with an active current wave-shaping technique results in a significant reduction of input and output filter requirements associated with switching ripple and EMI. The operation principles are described along with a design example and a comparative evaluation. Experimental results on a 1.5kW prototype are provided to validate the proposed concept.

This paper proposes an interleaved five-level boost converter based on a switched-capacitor network. The operating principle of the converter under the CCM mode is analyzed. A high voltage gain, low component stress, small input current ripple, and self-balancing function for the capacitor voltages in the switched-capacitor networks are achieved. In addition, a three-loop control strategy including an outer voltage loop, an inner current loop and a voltage-balance loop has been researched to achieve good performances and voltage-balance effect. An experimental study has been done to verify the correctness and feasibility of the proposed converter and control strategy.

This paper presents the reasonable design parameters of a SRM for hybrid electric vehicle driving. For the design of SRM, the initial model is designed using the equivalent magnetic circuit method. In order to optimize the SRM for HEV. The initial model is redesigned by FEM with the variation of the stock length and turns of winding. This paper shows that a flat-topped current of a phase can be made from a change of the stack length and the number of turns for high efficiency, high average torque and a lower torque ripple. The change of current falling time as a variation of turn-off angle was shown by FEA. The iron loss and copper loss were described. The torque of the redesigned motor is suitable for low and high speed ranges to drive a HEV that was verified by the speed-torque curve.

This paper proposes a new interleaved double-input three-level Boost (DITLB) converter, which is composed of two boost converters indirectly in series. Thus, a high voltage gain, together with a low component stress and a small input current ripple due to the interleaved control scheme, is achieved. The operating principle of the DITLB converter under the individual supplying power (ISP) and simultaneous supplying power (SSP) mode is analyzed. In addition, closed-loop control strategies composed of a voltage-current loop and a voltage-balance loop, have been researched to make the converter operate steadily and to alleviate the neutral-point imbalance issue. Experimental results verify correctness and feasibility of the proposed topology and control strategies.

The BLDCM(Brushless DC motor) has been the Trapezoidal Back Electromotive Force(EMF) due to a surface magnet rotor with nonlinear distribution and full-pitch windings. Theoretically, it should be fed with rectangular phase current in order to minimize torque ripple. But, because voltage source inverter drives BLDCM, perfectly rectangular phase currents are not available. Now in this paper, using fourier series coefficients, calculating the coefficients of harmonic current within available orders and each harmonic component are controlled on stationary frame. Only using four switches, low cost and small size drive can be made and proposed method will be more useful in industrial. Simulation and experimental results prove the validity of the proposed method.

In this paper, improved rotor position estimation for position sensorless control system of the SRM (Switched Reluctance Motor) is presented. For more accurate rotor position estimation, the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based position interpolation is adapted. In the current-flux-rotor position lookup table based rotor position estimation, the inherent current and flux-linkage ripple can cause the position estimation error. Instead of the conventional low-pass filter, the PLL based position interpolation technique is used for the better dynamic performance. The developed rotor position estimation scheme is realized using TMS320F2812 digital signal processor and prototype 1-hp SRM.

In this paper, electronic ballast with Interleaved Boost Cell is presented. The proposed topology is based on a single-stage ballast which combines a boost converter and a half-bridge series resonant inverter High power factor and low THD(reduction of current ripple) are achieved by using the boost semi-stage operating in discontinuous conduction mode, and inverter semi-stage operated above resonant frequency to provide zero voltage switching is employed to ballast the fluorescent lamp. The experimental results from the ballast system with fluorescent lamps have demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed electronic ballast.

This paper presents a microprocessor controlled digital ballast for HID lamps, which gives intelligent features such as a precise power control, optimum ignition voltage and detection of end of life. Average current mode PFC is employed for reducing EMI and a universal input. Direct spread spectrum is done by applying 1 KHz triangular wave for removing acoustic resonance. This frequency modulation of 1 KHz gives also low EMI level and no ripple on lamp current. The microprocessor controls the voltage of DC-bus, the voltage of ignition pulses, the power of output and the bandwidth of spread spectrum. A 250W digital ballast is implemented with an efficiency of 93％ and a maximum EMI level of 55 ㏈${\mu}$V.

The light-emitting diode (LED) has been used in a variety of industrial fields and for general 0lighting purposes on account of its high efficiency, low power consumption and long lifespan. The LED is driven by direct current; therefore, an AC/DC converter is typically required for its use. An electrolytic capacitor is generally used for stabilizing DC voltage during use of the AC/DC converter. However, this capacitor has a short lifespan, which makes it a limiting factor in LED lighting. Furthermore, LED lighting requires a dimmable control to enable energy savings and fulfil a growing consumer demand. In this paper, the dimmable single-stage power factor correction (PFC) continuous conduction mode (CCM) flyback converter that employs no electrolytic capacitor is presented. The LC resonant filter is alternatively applied to reduce the 120[Hz] ripple on the output. And the optimum value of the LC resonant filter parameters considering both efficient and performance is analysed. Simulation and experimental results verify the satisfactory operation of the converter.
