The characteristic variation of 3-dimensional (3-D) solenoid-type embedded inductors is investigated. Four different structures of a 3-D inductor are fabricated by using a low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) process, and their s-parameters are measured between 50 MHz and 5 GHz. The circuit model parameters of each building block are optimized and extracted using the partial element equivalent circuit method and an HSPICE circuit simulator. Based on the model parameters, the characteristics of the test structures such as self-resonant frequency, inductance, and quality (Q) factor are analyzed, and predictive modeling is applied to the structures composed of a combination of the modeled building blocks. In addition, characteristic variations of the 3-D inductors with different structures using extracted building blocks are also investigated. This approach can provide a characteristic estimation of 3-D solenoid embedded inductors for structural variations.

본 논문에서는 역률개선과 고효율로 동작되는 새로운 승압형 AC-DC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 입력전류 불연속제어로 구동되고, 스위치의 시비율 일정제어에 의해 입력전류는 교류 입력전압의 크기에 비례된 불연속적인 정현파 형태로 주어진다. 그 결과 입력역률은 거의 단위역률로 주어지고, 시비율 일정제어에 의해 제안된 컨버터는 제어기법이 간단하게 된다. 일반적으로 전류불연속 제어에 의한 컨버터의 경우, 사용된 스위치의 턴-온 동작은 영전류 스위칭으로 되는 장점이 있지만, 스위치의 턴-오프 동작은 최대 전류에서 스위칭되어 스위칭 손실을 증대시키고 스위치의 과중한 스트레스를 가져오게 된다. 이것은 컨버터의 효율을 저하시키는 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 부분적인 공진회로 동작에 의한 새로운 소프트 스위칭 회로가 설계되어 사용된 제어스위치들의 턴-온, 턴-오프 동작을 소프트 스위칭으로 만들어 컨버터의 효율을 증대시킨다.

본 논문은 전류불연속 제어에 의한 고역률, 고효율로 동작되는 승압형 AC-DC 컨버터에 대해 연구된다. 전류불 연속 제어 컨버터는 제어회로 구성이 간단하고 구성소자의 수를 줄일 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 제안된 컨버터의 입력전류는 듀티율 일정제어에 의한 교류 입력전압의 크기에 비례된 불연속적인 정현파 형태로 된다. 그 결과 입력역률은 거의 단위역률로 주어지며 듀티율 일정제어에 의해 제어기법이 간단하다. 또한 제안된 컨버터의 스위칭 소자들은 부분공진 기법에 의해 소프트 스위칭 동작으로 되어 스위칭 손실이 매우 낮으며 컨버터의 효율을 증대시킨다. 부분공진 회로부는 승압용으로 사용된 인덕터와 무손실 스너버 커패시터에 의해 설계되어 컨버터의 회로 토폴로지가 간단하다. 제안된 컨버터는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험결과에 의해 그 타당성이 입증된다.

Cycloconverters can be classified into two types by the main circuit configuration. One is the non- circulating current type required the dead time the other is circulating current type which has the circulating current reactors. The switching devices were highly stressed by the load voltages during dead time on non-circulating current type operation and the circulating currents on circulating current type operation. The overcome those problems, this paper proposes the switching patterns for the partial and the non circulation current type. The PWM methods, which are saw wave comparing method and load current integrating value comparing method, are presented.

This paper presents some practical design issues that should be carefully considered when a notch filter is included in a linear feedback controller. A notch filter is generally used to compensate the effects of resonant modes that may result in poor performance. It is very common that the practical engineers prefer to add such a notch filter after having previously designed a feedback controller without the filter. It is known that the resulting performance by this approach is not seriously different from when a feedback controller is designed for a plant previously compensated by a notch filter. However, we will point out that there are some cases where both approaches have different performances. In order to show this, a low-order controller design using the partial model matching method has been applied to a linear time invariant (L Tn model. The results suggest that there is a tendency to achieve much better time responses in terms of reducing the overshoot and shortening the settling time, and in the frequency domain characteristics such as the sensitivity function and the stability margins when the design of a feedback controller after including a notch filter is carried out.

In this work, ultra high-voltage (17 - 50 kV AC), reliable 80 pF mica capacitors for partial discharge system application were investigated. Mica was used as the dielectric of the capacitors. Using the conservative design rule, over 3 individual $50\;{\mu}m$ thick mica sheets with a size of 30mm{\times}35mm were used with lead foils to form a parallel capacitor element and 20 mica sheets were interleaved with lead foils to form a series stack of parallel capacitor element to meet the requirements of the capacitors. The dimensions of the fabricated 80 pF capacitors for 17 kV AC and 50 kV AC were $90\;mm{\times}90\;mm$ and $95\;mm{\times}180\;mm$, respectively. The high-frequency characteristics of the capacitance (C) and dissipation factor (D) of the developed capacitors were measured using a capacitance meter. The developed capacitors exhibited C of 79.5 - 87.5 pF, had D of 0.001% over the frequency ranges of 150 kHz to 50 MHz, had a self-resonant frequency of 65 MHz, and showed results comparable to those measured for the capacitors prepared recently by $Adwel^{Tm}$. The developed capacitors also showed excellent characteristics for thermal shock test and temperature cycling test.

본 논문에서는 소프트 스위칭에 의한 새로운 고효율의 벅-부스트 DC-DC 컨버터에 대해 연구된다. 제안된 벅-부스트 컨버터는 기존의 벅-부스트 DC-DC 컨버터에서 문제가 되는 제어용 스위치의 스위칭 손실증대를 해결하기 위해 새로운 소프트 스위칭 기법이 적용된다. 소프트 스위칭 회로는 구조적으로 기존의 컨버터에 사용되는 벅-부스트용 인덕터와 스너버 회로를 변형 설계한 구조로써 회로구성이 간단하다. 제안된 컨버터에 사용된 제어스위치들은 부분공진의 동작에 의해 소프트 스위칭을 이룬다. 또한 컨버터의 출력전압은 제어스위치의 PWM 제어에 의해 조정되고 벅-부스트용 인덕터에 흐르는 전류는 불연속모드로 제어되어 제어회로와 제어기법이 간단한 장점이 주어진다. 제안된 벅-부스트 컨버터는 기존의 벅-부스트 컨버터와 비교되어 해석되고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 그 해석적 타당성이 입증된다.

With today's global environmental and energy problems, high expectations exist for solar power generation to reduce carbon dioxide generated by the consumption of fossil fuels. On the other hand, power consumption in residential homes is increasing every year. Among the many household appliances, the power demand for air conditioners increases dramatically during the summer, particularly in the afternoons. As this pattern closely matches the output pattern of solar cells, it should be possible to combine a photovoltaic array with an air conditioner to decrease the energy consumption within the home. We have developed a residential solar-powered air conditioner that operates through a combination of photovoltaic array and commercial power. In this paper, the configuration and specification of the residential solar-powered system are described to a novel high efficiency inverter using a ZVCS boost converter. And the performance evaluations of the solar-powered air conditioner are examined by the analysis of a new tracking controller with a maximum power $P_{max}$ detection of solar cell.

Rectifiers of power conversion system are widely used condenser at input to be cheap and to be simple construction. But this method is produced harmonics of pulse at peak value of input AC voltage. The main circuit which make input current of a sinusoidal wave and improve power-factor is almost taken step-up converter. This paper is able to obtain high power-factor and efficiency because the input current is made sinusoidal wave in single phase alternating current(AC) source. Also the proposed converter is able to minimize switching loss by ZVCS(zero voltage switching and zero current switching).
