본 논문에서는 기존의 실험 위주의 설계 기법보다는 해석적 방법에 의하여 3단으로 구성된 평판형 리미터 설계 및 제작 기법을 제시하였다. 해석 결과 PIN 다이오드로 구성된 리미터에 고출력의 RF 입력이 인가될 경우 두 가지 형태의 누설 전력이 발생하며 이의 PIN 다이오드 파라미터와 연관성을 설명하였다. 설계된 리미터 회로는 1단과 2단은 PIN diode로 구성되며 3단은 Schottky 다이오드를 사용 구성하였다. 이를 통하여 제작된 리미터회로는 약신호시 삽입 손실 0.8 dB, 20 W RF 입력시 첨두 누설 전력(spike leakage) 12 dBm, 정상 누설 전력 12 dBm의 사양을 보여주고 있다.

In this paper, a 1.5 kW Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (IPMSG) with a power conditioner for the grid integration of a variable-speed wind turbine is developed. The power-conditioning system consists of a series-type 12-pulse diode rectifier powered by a phase shifting transformer and then cascaded to a PWM voltage source inverter. The PWM inverter is utilized to supply sinusoidal currents to the utility line by controlling the active and reactive current components in the q-d rotating reference frame. While the q-axis active current of the PWM inverter is regulated to follow an optimized active current reference so as to track the maximum power of the wind turbine. The d-axis reactive current can be adjusted to control the reactive power and voltage. In order to track the maximum power of the wind turbine, the optimal active current reference is determined by using a simple MPPT algorithm which requires only three sensors. Moreover, the phase angle of the utility voltage is detected using a simple electronic circuit consisting of both a zero-crossing voltage detecting circuit and a counter circuit employed with a crystal oscillator. At the generator terminals, a passive filter is designed not only to decrease the harmonic voltages and currents observed at the terminals of the IPMSG but also to improve the generator efficiency. The laboratory results indicate that the losses in the IPMSG can be effectively reduced by setting a passive filter at the generator terminals.

본 논문에서는 Composite Right-/Left-Handed (CRLH) 전송선로 (TL)와 PIN 다이오드를 이용한 이중대역 Class-E 전력증폭기를 구현하였다. CRLH 전송선로를 이용하여 이중대역 주파수 조절 특성을 갖는 Metamaterial CRLH 전송선로를 구현하였으며, CRLH 전송선로의 이중대역 동작은 전력증폭기의 정합 회로에 이용된 주파수 오프셋과 CRLH 전송선로의 비선형 위상 기울기에 의해 얻을 수 있었다. 제안된 이중대역 전력증폭기의 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 출력 정합회로뿐만 아니라 입력 정합회로를 이용하여 구현하였으며, PIN 다이오드를 이용하여 각각의 독립된 주파수에서 전력증폭기가 동작할 수 있게 하였다. 전력증폭기의 출력 전력과 전력효율은 각각 800 MHz에서 42.17 dBm, 62.24 %, 1900 MHz에서 41.50 dBm, 60.73 % 이었으며, 이중대역에서 비교적 균등한 결과를 얻었다.

Recently, much power demand from domestic power consumer is weakening the allowable power reserve margin in summer, especially at midday for one day due to a steep increase of air cooling loads such as air conditioner. Therefore solar airconditioning system can'be considered as one of the best remedies to meet the increase of peak power. Generally in solar air conditioning system, the diode rectifier is used to build up DC link voltage from AC source. The diode rectifier is simple and cheap but it brings out the problems of low power factor and plentiful harmonics at the AC source. Also It can derate the utilization rate of solar energy because the reverse of power flow cannot be made. Hence, in this paper to overcome the peak power problem in summer and to endure good AC input characteristics, solar air conditioning system using the PWM converter is proposed. As results, obtained are the characteristics of the PWM converter such as low distorted current waveform, high power factor and bidirectional power control. And also the stability of proposed system is verified by examining the dynamics of step load change and power reversal testing. (author). refs., figs., tabs.

This paper presents a new single phase front-end ac-dc bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) rectifier topology. The proposed converter achieves a high efficiency over a wide range of input and output voltages, a high power factor, low line current harmonics and both step up and step down voltage conversions. This topology is based on a non-inverting buck-boost (Zeta) converter. In this approach, the input diode bridge is removed and a maximum of one diode conducts in a complete switching period. This reduces the conduction losses and the thermal stresses on the switches when compare to existing PFC topologies. Inherent power factor correction is achieved by operating the converter in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) which leads to a simplified control circuit. The characteristics of the proposed design, principles of operation, steady state operation analysis, and control structure are described in this paper. An experimental prototype has been built to demonstrate the feasibility of the new converter. Simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the improved power quality at the AC mains and the lower conduction losses of the converter.

A modular multilevel-clamped composited multilevel converter ($M-MC^2$) is proposed. $M-MC^2$ enables topology reconfiguration, power device reuse, and composited clamping. An advanced five-level converter ($5L-M-MC^2$) is derived from the concept of $M-MC^2$. $5L-M-MC^2$ integrates dual three-level T-type modules and one three-level neutral point clamped module. This converter can also integrate dual three-level T-type modules and one passive diode module by utilizing the device reuse scheme. The operation principle and SPWM modulation are discussed to highlight converter performance. The proposed $M-MC^2$ is comprehensively compared with state-of-the-art five-level converters. Finally, simulations and experimental results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the main contributions of this study.

This paper presents a resonant non-inverting buck-boost converter in which all switches operate under ZCS conditions. In a symmetric configuration, a CLL resonant tank along with an inverter arm and a rectifying diode are employed. The diode is turned off at ZCS and hence the problem of its reverse recovery is obviated also. As a result switching losses and EMI are reduced and switching frequency can be increased. The converter can work at DCM and CCM depend on the switching frequency and the load-current. Experimental results from a 200W/200KHz laboratory prototype verify operation of the proposed converter and the presented theoretical analysis.

Pulsed power systems consist of a capacitor bank, an isolated high-voltage charging power-supply, high-current bus-work for charging and discharging and a control system. In such pulsed power systems, the operating-lifetime of the capacitors is closely dependent on the voltage reversal. Hence, most capacitor-discharging systems includes crowbar circuits. The crowbar circuit prevents the capacitor recharging with reverse voltage. Usually it consists of crowbar resistors and high pulse-current diode-stacks connected in series. The requirements for the diode-stacks are fast-recovery time and high-voltage and large-current ratings, which results in the high cost of the pulsed-power system. This paper presents a protection scheme of a charging and discharging system of a 500kJ capacitor bank using a low-cost crowbar circuit and safety-fuses.

The operating condition of the OLED (organic light-emitting diode) is very sensitive to electrode thickness properties. The electrode thickness is a significant issue in the construction of OLEDs because of its transparency, high conductivity and high efficiency as an injector into organic materials. We carried out a systematic study to optimize the electrode thickness conditions in Indiumtin oxide (ITO), Molybdenum (Mo) and Aluminum (Al). Further, we measured electrode thickness under standard conditions [ITO 1500$\AA$, Mo 2600$\AA$, Al 1500$\AA$]. We also evaluated power consumption. In addition, we analyzed substrate uniformity with IVL measurement results. From these results, it is known that the electrode thickness should be optimized in order to accomplish optimal power efficiency.
