The fault analysis and detecting algorithm for a 3 phase diode rectifier is proposed. The 3 phase dioderectifier is used for the AC power rectifier of the PWM inverter. The input power or diode faults cause theripples of the DC voltage, degradation of the control performance and life shortening of the DC link capacitor.In this paper, the ripple of the DC voltage is mathematically analyzed for the earth fault of input power andopen circuit fault of the diode, respectively. The fault detection and type of fault can be obtained by comparingthe average DC voltage and the instant DC voltage which is sampled with 6 times of grid frequency. Theproposed method can be easily applicable and doesn't require additional circuit. The experimental and simulationresults are presented to verify the validity of the proposed method.

In wireless smart phone charging scenario, the transmitter pad is larger than the size of the receiver pad. Thus, it is important to supply a constant power to the receiver regardless of its location. In this paper, we propose a new method to regulate the receiver's power by adjusting a drain bias of class E power amplifier. The proposed LF-band wireless power transfer system is as follows: a buck converter power supply which is controlled by a pulse width modulation(PWM) IC TL494, a class E amplifier using a low cost IRF510 power MOSFET, a transmitter coil whose dimension is $16cm{\times}18cm$, a receiver coil whose dimension is $6cm{\times}8cm$, and a full bridge rectifier using Schottky diodes. A measured performance show a maximum output power of 4 W and system efficiency of 67 % if we fix the bias voltage. If we adjust the bias voltage, the received power can be maintained at a constant power of 2 W regardless of receiver pad location.

This study is the visually emotional identification lighting for easy to distinguish using 3colors LED on AtoN facility in shore and harbor, which have realized a controller for certainly express the mouth of a harbor by red light and green light of both sides a harbor and for synchronization at a time of right and left or serial sequential the harbor guidance light through synchronizer or timer by GPS. There is expectation effect that is prevent a confusion about distinguish of facility by ship's operator and to beautify a night scene of harbor, which is expressed to emotional identification lighting differ from great many lighting of harbor with variable color lighting the lighthouse body and vertical layer color lighting using LED. The function of AtoN is adapted that guidance light through synchronization or serial sequential lighting and display of harbor safety message by CW lighting, and this system is the power consumption greatly reduce by candle alternated high light LED.

To improve the current waveform of diode rectifiers, we propose a new operating principle for the voltage -doubler diode rectifiers. In the conventional voltage-doubler rectifier circuit, relatively large capacitors are used to boost the output voltage, while the proposed circuit uses smaller ones and a small reactor not to boost the output voltage but improve the input current waveform. A high input power factor of 97[%] and an efficiency of 98[%] are also obtained. The harmonic guide lines of proposed rectifier is no interfered with inverter switching, resulting in a simple, reliable and low-cost ac-to dc converters in comparison with the boost-type current-improving circuits.It compared conventional pulse-widthmodulated(PWM)inverter with half pulse-widthmodulated (HPWM) inverter. Proposed HPWM inverter eliminated dead-time by lowering switchingloss and holding over-shooting.

This study was conducted to develop the fertigation system with a peristaltic hose pump and brushless DC motor. The fertigation system was consisted of sensor, main controller, motor control unit, peristaltic pump, water supply pump, control panel, and filter. The peristaltic pump discharges liquid by squeezing the tube with rollers. Rollers attached to the external circumference of the rotor compresses the flexible tube. The fluid is contained within a flexible tube fitted inside a circular pump casing. The developed fertigation system has no mixing tank but instead injects directly a concentrated nutrient solution into a water supply pipe. The revolution speed of the peristaltic pump is controlled by PWM (Pulse width modulation) method. When the revolution speed of the peristaltic pump was 300rpm, the flow rate of the 3.2, 4.8, 6.3mm diameter tube was 202, 530, 857mL/min, respectively. As increasing revolution speed, the flow rate of the peristaltic pump linearly increased. As the inner diameter of a tube larger, a slope of graph is more steep. Flow rate of three roller was more than that of four roller. Flow rate of a norprene tube with good restoring force was more than that of a pharmed tube. As EC sensor probe was installed in direct piping in comparison with bypass piping showed good performance. After starting the system, it took 16~17 seconds to stabilize EC. The maximum value of EC was 1.44~1.7dS/m at a setting value of 1.4dS/m. The developed fertigation system showed ±0.06dS/m deviation from the setting value of EC. In field test, Cucumber plants generally showed good growth. From these findings, this fertigation system can be appropriately suitable for fertigation culture for crops.
