A passive energy recovery snubber for high-power-factor boost rectifier, in which the main switch is described in terms of the equivalent circuits that are operational during turn-on and turn-off sequences. These equivalent circuits are analyzed so that the overshoot voltage across the main switch, the snubber current, and the turn-off transition time can be predicted analytically. The main switch combined with proposed snubber can be turned on with zero current and turned off at limited voltage stress. The high-power-factor boost rectifier with proposed snubber is implemented, and the experimental results are presented to confirm the validity of proposed snubber.

MOSFET 스위치로 구현된 고역률 부스트 정류기에 적합한 무손실 수동스너버가 턴오프 및 턴온 동안에 동작하는 등가회로로 기술된다. 이러한 등가회로는 주스위치에 가해지는 과도전압, 스너버 전류, 및 턴-오프 과도시간을 예측할 수 있도록 분석된다. 제안된 스너버와 결합된 부스트 컨버터의 주 스위치는 영전류에서 턴-온되기 때문에 턴-온 손실이 거의 없고, 제한된 전압 스트레스에서 턴-오프되므로 주 스위치의 전압 스트레스에 의한 파손을 방지할 수 있다. 또한 본 스너버를 사용한 부스트 컨버터의 제어 방법이 기존의 부스트 컨버터와 동일하기 때문에 기존의 부스트 컨버터용 제어회로를 그대로 쓸 수 있다. 제안된 에너지재생 수동스너버를 갖는 고역률 정류기가 구현되고 실험결과가 제시된다.

본 논문에서는 슬라이딩 모드 관측기를 이용하여 IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)의 센서리스 제어의 기동특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. IPMSM의 센서리스 제어는 초기 구동시 회전자의 위치를 알 수가 없으므로 Open-Loop알고리즘을 이용하여 강제로 모터를 구동시킨다. 그러므로 Open-Loop에서 Closed-Loop로 제어되는 시점에서 부하의 상태에 따라 기동 특성에 문제점을 야기 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 부하에 따라 기동 특성에서 야기되는 문제점과 해결책을 제시한다. 제시된 방법을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

The objective of this study is to develop the theoretical model of the telecommunication system service availability from the user perspective. We assume non-homogeneous Poisson process for the call arrival process and continuous time Markov chain for the system state. The proposed model effectively describes the user model of the user-perceived service reliability by including the time-varying call arrival rate. We also include the operational failure state where the user cannot receive any service even though the system is functioning.

In this study, an efficient clamp is proposed to reduce the switch voltage stress of a forward converter. The proposed clamp consists of a conventional LC snubber, a tertiary winding, and a diode. When the switch is turned OFF, the magnetizing inductor energy of the transformer is recovered directly into the flyback output, which is the tertiary winding and diode network, instead of circulating in the LC snubber. Therefore, switch voltage stress and circulating current caused by the magnetizing inductor energy are reduced. This condition improves the efficiency of the forward converter with limited switch voltage stress. A theoretical analysis and the design guidelines of the proposed converter are provided. Experimental results are also reported.

영광 원자력발전소 1호기가 16주기로 운전됨에 따라 훈련용 시뮬레이터의 입력자료 또한 16주기가 반영되어야 한다. 시뮬레이터의 여러 모델 중 노심모델(REMARK)에 필요한 입력자료는 Westinghouse의 핵 설계 코드체계인 APA 시스템의 Output에서 얻을 수 있으나 그 양이 방대하기 때문에 수작업을 통한 입력자료 생산은 큰 어려움을 갖는다. 따라서 이러한 작업을 수행할 프로그램 개발이 필수적이며 개발된 프로그램을 매 교체주기마다 적용하여 노심모델에 대한 원활한 입력상수 생산을 가능하게 할 수 있다.

This paper studies a dual-hop multiple-access relay network where two independent source nodes transmit information to a common destination node with the aid of multiple single-antenna amplify-and-forward relays. Each relay node is subject to an individual power constraint. We focus on the design of distributed beamforming schemes for the relays to support the transmission rate requirements of the two sources. To this end, we first characterize the achievable rate region for this network via solving a sequence of corner point optimization problems proposed in this paper. We also develop several low-complexity suboptimal schemes in closed form. Two inner bounds of the achievable rate region are theoretically shown to be approximately optimal in two special scenarios. Finally, numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approaches.

This paper presents a mathematical decomposition coordination method to implementing the distributed optimal power flow (OPF), wherein a regional decomposition technique is adopted to parallelize the OPT. The proposed approach is based on the Alternating Direction Method (ADM), a variant of the conventional Augmented Lagrangian approach, and makes it possible the independent regional AC-OPF for each control area while the global optimum for the entire system is assured. This paper is an extension of our previous work based on the auxiliary problem principle (APP). The proposed approach in this paper is a completely new one, however, in that ADM is based on the Proximal Point Algorithm which has long been recognized as one of the attractive methods for convex programming and min-max-convex-concave programming. The proposed method was demonstrated with IEEE 50-Bus system.

In this paper, a DC and small-signal AC modeling for the active-clamp, ful1-bridge boost converter is described. Based on the operation principle, the ac part of the converter can be replaced by a dc counterpart. Then, a conceptual equivalent circuit is derived by rearranging the switches. The equivalent circuit for this converter consists of CCM(Continuous conduction mode) boost and DCM(Discontinuous conduction mode) buck converter. The analyses for the equivalent CCM boost and DCM buck converter are done using the model of PWM switch. The theoretical modeling results are confirmed through experiment or SIMPLIS simulation.

This paper presents a sliding mode observer for the sensorless control of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives. The sliding mode observer has been presented as a robust estimation method. Most of these previous works, however, were not for an interior PMSM (IPMSM), but for a non-salient pole PMSM and its observer design is conducted in the stationary reference frame. Thus, in this paper, we investigate the design of a sliding mode observer and its driving characteristics for an IPMSM. The proposed sliding mode observer is designed in the rotating reference frame, and good drive performance is achieved even when the observer parameters are mismatched with those of an actual motor. The proposed method is applied to a 600W IPMSM, and, then, the measurement results are presented.
