This paper is studied on a novel power factor correction (PFC) AC-DC converter of high efficiency by soft switching technique. The input current waveform in the proposed converter is got to be a sinusoidal form composed of many a discontinuous pulse in proportion to the magnitude of a ac input voltage under the constant switching frequency. Therefore, the input power factor is nearly unity and the control method is simple. The proposed converter adding an electric isolation operates with a discontinuous current mode (DCM) of the reactor in order to obtain some merits of simpler control, such as fixed switching frequency, without synchronization control circuit used in continuous current mode (CCM). To achieve the soft switching (ZCS or ZVS) of control devices, the converter is constructed with a new loss-less snubber for a partial resonant circuit. It is that the switching losses are very low and the efficiency of the converter is high, Particularly, the stored energy in a loss-less snubber capacitor recovers into input side and increases input current from a resonant operation. The result is that the input power factor of the proposed converter is higher than that of a conventional PFC converter. This paper deals mainly with the circuit operations, theoretical, simulated and experimental results of the proposed PFC AC-DC converter in comparison with a conventional PFC AC-DC converter.

This paper presents a buck circuit topology of high-frequency with a single switching device. It solved the problem which arised from hard-switching in high-frequency using a resonant snubber and operating under the principle of ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutation schemes. In the existing circuit, it has the voltage stress that is almost twice of input voltage in a free-wheeling diode. In the proposed circuit, it has the voltage stress that is lower than input voltage with modifing a location of free -wheeling diode. In this paper, it expained the circuit operation of each mode and analyzed feedback-loop stabilization. Also it confirmed the waveform of each mode with simulation result. The experiment result verified the simulation waveform and compared the voltage stress of a free -wheeling diode in the exsiting circuit with the voltage stress of that in the proposed circuit. Moreover, it compares and analyzes the proposed circuit's efficiency with the hard-switching circuit's efficiency according to the change of load current.

We have investigated about compensation film to reduce the light leakage at an oblique angle in-plane switching mode. It is well known that uncompensated in-plane switching (US) and fringe field switching (FFS) liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have much better viewing angle than other modes owing to the in-plane rotation of the LC director. However, to accomplish optimal viewing angle characteristics in these devices, they must be compensated by one or more films. So, in this paper, we have studied how to reduce the light leakage with viewing angle using discotic film in dark state.

A variety of high voltage DC power supplies employing the high frequency inverter are difficult to achieve soft switching considering a quick response and no overshoot response under the wide load variation ranges which are used in medical-use x-ray high voltage generator from 20kV to 150kV in the output voltage and from 0.5mA to 1250mA, respectively. The authors develops soft switching high voltage DC power supply designed for x-ray power generator applications, which uses series resonant inverter circuit topology with a multistage voltage multiplier instead of a conventional high voltage diode rectifier connected to the second-side of a high-voltage transformer with a large turn ratio. A constant on-time dual mode frequency control scheme operating under a principle of zero-current soft switching commutation is described. Introducing the multistage voltage multiplier, the secondary transformer turn-numbers and stray capacitance of high-voltage transformer is effective to be greatly reduced. It is proved that the proposed high-voltage converter topology with dual mode frequency modulation mode control scheme is able to be the transient response and steady-state performance in high-voltage x-ray tube load. The effectiveness of this high voltage converter is evaluated and discussed on the basis of simulation analysis and observed data in experiment.

본 논문에서는 FSM(finite-state machine)을 이용하여 차수 계산(degree computation)을 하지 않고 수정된 유클리드 알고리즘(modified Euclidean algorithm)을 구현할 수 있는 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 구조는 차수계산이 필요없기 때문에 RS(Reed-Solomon) 복호기의 하드웨어 복잡도를 줄일 수 있고, 고속의 복호기 설계가 가능하게 된다. 제안된 구조를 이용하는 RS(255,239) 복호기를 Verilog HDL로 구현하였고, 기존의 복호기에 비해 게이트 수를 약 13%정도 줄일 수 있다.

In this paper, we present the design and characterization analysis of a cascode GaN field-effect transistor (FET) for switching power conversion systems. To enable normally-off operation, a cascode GaN FET employs a low breakdown voltage (BV) enhancement-mode Si metal-oxide-semiconductor FET and a high-BV depletion-mode (D-mode) GaN FET. This paper demonstrates a normally-on D-mode GaN FET with high power density and high switching frequency, and presents a theoretical analysis of a hybrid cascode GaN FET design. A TO-254 packaged FET provides a drain current of 6.04 A at a drain voltage of 2 V, a BV of 520 V at a drain leakage current of $250{\mu}A$, and an on-resistance of $331m{\Omega}$. Finally, a boost converter is used to evaluate the performance of the cascode GaN FET in power conversion applications.

In this paper, a prototype of an active auxiliary quasi-resonant DC link (QRDCL) snubber assisted voltage source bidirectional power converter (AC to DC and DC to AC) operating at zero voltage soft-switching (BVS) PWM nlode is presented for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The operating principle of this QRDCL circuit and multifunctional control-based converter system, including PWM inverter mode in which energy flows from the battery bank to the three-phase utility-grid in addition to an active PWM converter mode in which energy flows from the utility-grid to the battery banks are described respectively by the control implementation on the basis of d-q coordinate plane transformation. The multifunctional operation characteristics of this three-phase ZVS PWM bi-directional converter with QRDCL is demonstrated fer a BESS under the power conditioning and processing schemes of energy supply mode and energy storage mode, and compared with a conventional three-phase hard switching PWM bi-directional converter for a BESS. The effectiveness of the three-phase ZVS PWM hi-directional converter with QRDCL is proven via the simulation analysis.

A simulation procedure was developed for identifying Yungnam unit 2 excitation model parameters to improve the accuracy of stability simulation of KEPCO. First, generator model parameters are derived by using modified load rejection technique from measured load rejection test. For identifying excitation model parameters, switch was changed from MVR mode to AVR mode in Yungnam unit 2 excitation system instead of applying to a small step to the voltage reference($V_{ref}$) because of saving time and efforts, assuming the test result would show coincided result with applying to a small step to the $V_{ref}$. However, it was found that the response of switching from MVR to AVR is greatly different from it of applying small signal to the $V_{ref}$. A simulation procedure was needed to take into accounts of real AVR component status before and after switching from MVR to AVR. This paper reports the procedure which duplicated the measured response and addresses the merits of this test on conventional AVR step test.

본 논문에서는 일정 스위칭 주파수를 가지는 직접 토크 제어(Direct Torque Control, DTC) 기반의 매입형 영구자석 동기 전동기(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, IPMSM)에서 속응성 향상을 위한 슬라이딩 모드 제어(Sliding Mode Control, SMC) 기법을 제안한다. 일정 스위칭 주파수를 가지는 DTC 기법은 비례-적분(Proportional-Integral, PI) 토크 제어기와 삼각파 비교기로 구성되어 토크 오차 상태를 일정하게 제어한다. 이는 일반적인 히스테리시스 기반의 DTC 기법에 비해 속응성이 좋지 않다. 본 논문에서는 SMC 기법을 이용하여 일정 스위칭 주파수를 가지는 DTC 기법의 속응성을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법의 타당성을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증한다.
