This paper presents an analysis of the mechanism of failure modes in bi-directional phase-shift full-bridge converters, composed of MOSFET, based on the circuit operation and parasitic parameters of MOSFET. In addition, the relation between circuit operation and parameters is suggested through an experimental comparison. From this relation, the suitable ranges of parameters for stable performance are analyzed. The design criteria of the bi-directional phase-shift full-bridge converter are presented and evaluated from the experimental verification.

Floating p-well 전압 감지를 이용한 시간 지연 회로를 적용하여 punch-though형 절연 게이트 바이폴라 트랜지스터 (PT-IGBT)의 최적화된 보호 회로를 제안하였다. Floating P-well 축전기와 게이트 저항은 정상 스위칭 동작시 단락 회로 감지 동작 (false detection of fault)을 차단하며, floating p-well 전압은 단락회로 상황시 풀-다운 (pull-down) MOSFET의 문턱 전압 이상으로 상승되어 풀-다운 MOSFET을 턴-온(turn-on) 시킴으로서 IGBT의 게이트 전압을 감소시킨다. 이에 따라 IGBT의 컬렉터 전류는 자연스럽게 감소된다. 실험 결과를 통해, 단락회로 상황에서 최적화된 IGBT의 보호회로가 소프트-셧다운 (soft-shutdown) 특성을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

This paper deals with the performance analysis of three phase induction motor considering its stator side faults and operating thermal limits. The speed control of induction motor using three phase boost converter operated by a MOSFET switch and a PI controller is demonstrated and presented in this article. IGBTs switches are used for inverter drive mechanism. The experimental result of speed control of induction motor using voltage control technique clearly shows better accuracy than conventional methods of speed control. A three phase 1HP 415V 0.78 kW 4 Pole induction motor is designed using motor solver software. Based on the parameters used in the software thermal analysis of induction motor is done and torque variation with conductor area, efficiency, output curve, losses in different parts of motor has been obtained. Also different types of faults namely under voltage, over voltage, stator imbalanced voltage, turn to turn, locked rotor bar, wrong alignment of rotor bar with respect to stator are studied and fault analysis is performed. Hence comparison is made based upon the results obtained before and after faults.

This paper presents an open-fault tolerance control method for active neutral point clamped (ANPC) inverter with high frequency/low frequency (HF/LF) modulation. By applying the ANPC inverter with SiC MOSFETs and Si IGBTs, the system efficiency and performance can be improved compared to a Si-based inverter. HF/LF modulation is used for a megawatt-scale inverter to minimize the commutation loop. The open-switch failure in megawatt-scale inverter causes severe damage to load and huge expenses when the inverter has been shut-down. The proposed tolerance control of open-switch failure provides continuous operation and improved reliability to the ANPC inverter. The effectiveness of the proposed fault tolerance control is verified by simulation results.

수평형 에미터 스위치트 사이리스터(Lateral Emitter Switched Thyristor, LEST)의 고전압 전류 포화 특성을 위한 새로운 보호회로가 제안하였으며 성공적으로 제작 및 측정하였다. LEST의 부유(浮遊, floating) n+ 전압이 보호 MOSFET의 문턱 전압 보다 커지면 보호 회로는 LEST의 동작 모드를 regenerative 상태에서 non-regerative 상태로 전환시킨다. 일반적인 LEST의 전압 전류 포화 특성이 17 V로 제한되는 것에 비해 제안된 회로와 결합된 LEST는 200V 이상의 고전압 전류 포화 특성을 보였으며, Hard Switching Fault(HSF) 단락 회로 상황에서도 $10{\mu}s$ 이상 견디는 단락 회로 유지 능력을 보였다.

This paper covers switched reluctance generator (SRG) and its comparison with induction and synchronous machines for distributed generation. The SRG is simple in design, robust in construction, and fault tolerant in operation; it can also withstand very high temperatures. However, the performance and cost of the SRG power electronics driver are highly affected by the topology and design of the converter. IGBT and MOSFET based converters are not suitable for very high power applications. This paper presents thyristor-based resonant converters which are superior candidates for very high power applications. Operations of the converters are analyzed and their characteristics and dynamics are determined in terms of the system parameters. The resonant converters are capable of handling high currents and voltages; these converters are highly efficient and reliable as well. Therefore, they are suitable for high power applications in the range of 1MW or larger for distributed generation.

In this paper, a 50-kW high-efficiency modular fast charger for both electric vehicle (EV) and neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) is proposed. The proposed fast charger consists of five 10-kW modules to achieve fault tolerance, ease of thermal management, and reduce component stress. Three-level topologies for both AC-DC and DC-DC converters are employed to use 600V MOSFET, resulting in ease of component selection and increase in switching frequency. The proposed three-level DC-DC converter with coupled inductor and its hybrid switching method can reduce the circulating current under wide output voltage range. A 50-kW prototype of the proposed fast charger was developed and tested to verify the validity of the proposed concept. Experimental results show that the proposed fast charger achieves a rated efficiency of 95.2% and a THD of less than 3%.

In this paper, we propose a high voltage driver IC(HVIC) for LCD and PDP TV power supply. The proposed circuit is included novel a shoot-through protection and a pulse generation circuit for the high voltage driver IC. The proposed circuit has lower variation of dead time and pulse-width about a variation of a process and a supply voltage than a conventional circuit. Especially, the proposed circuit has more excellent pulse-width matching of set and reset signals than the conventional circuit. Also the proposed pulse generation circuit prevent from fault operations using a logic gate. Dead time and pulse-width of the proposed circuit are typical 250 ns, and its variation is maximum 170 ns(68 %) about a variation of a process and a supply voltage. The proposed circuit is designed using $1\;{\mu}m$ 650 V BCD process parameter, and a simulation is carried out using Spectre.
