In this paper two modes of operating a wound rotor induction machine as a generator at sub-and super-synchronous speeds in wind energy conversion systems are investigated. In the first mode, known as double fed induction generator (DFIG), the rotor circuit is fed from the ac mains via a controlled rectifier and a forced commutated inverter. Adjusting the applied rotor voltage magnitude and phase leads to machine operation as a generator at sub-synchronous speeds. In the second mode, the machine is operated in a slip recovery scheme where the slip energy is fed back to the ac mains via a rectifier and line commutated inverter. This mode is described as double output induction generator (DOIG) leading to increase the efficiency of the wind-to electrical energy conversion system. Simulated results of both modes are presented. Experimental verification of the simulated results are presented for the DOIG mode of operation, showing larger amount of power captured and better power factor when compared to conventional induction generators.

본 논문에서는 전 부하영역에 대해 정확한 출력전압 제어가 가능한 PSR(Primary Side Regulator) 구동 기법을 제안한다. 기존 PSR 방식의 경우, 무 부하 및 급격한 부하 변동 시에 정확한 출력전압 제어가 어렵다. 하지만 제안 구동기법은 보조권선의 출력 다이오드 양단 노드 전압을 각각 검출하여 두 지점 전압을 부하변동 알고리즘에 적용하여 정확한 출력전압을 검출하므로 정밀하게 제어할 수 있다. 제안 출력전압 검출 알고리즘의 타당성 검증을 위해 12W 급 플라이백 컨버터 실험결과를 바탕으로 제안방식의 타당성을 검증한다.

In recent years, the multilevel converters have been given more attention due to their modularity, reliability, failure management and multi stepped output waveform with less total harmonic distortion. This paper presents a novel symmetric multilevel inverter topology with reduced switching components to generate a high quality stepped sinusoidal voltage waveform. The series and parallel combinations of switches in the proposed topology reduce the total number of conducting switches in each level of output voltages. In addition, a comparison between the proposed topology with another topology from the literature is presented. To verify the proposed topology, the computer based simulation model is developed using MATLAB/Simulink and experimentally with a prototype model results are then compared.

A high ignition voltage is required for the metal halide (MHD) lamp. In this paper, the ballast ignited by internal LC resonance of buck converter with minimum size is proposed. For minimizing the ignition current for device safety, the characteristic impedance is maximized. But this results In a large steady state ripple, which may cause the accoustic resonance. The steady state ripple cancellation network using the coupled inductor is proposed.

Photovoltaic and wind power generation have an advantage of unlimited and unpolluted amount of energy resource. In conventional wind generation systems, since the blade rotates at low speed when the velocity of wind decreases their operations are possible only under limited conditions. Therefore they are in trouble of self-generation without the help of auxiliary generation devices outside. The system driven by the wind force in this paper consists of a generator, an invertor, batteries and sets for power storage with a spring. In this paper, the operation characteristics of system were analyzed through experiments for a trial product.

This paper presents a TSMST (Theory - Simulation - Measurement - Simulation - Theory) method for power electronics laboratory. The method successfully integrates theory, simulation and measurement, thus enabling better integration of student's knowledge and better usage of inadequate number of laboratory hours. Students are attracted with relatively simple tasks to be solved and modern, but economical laboratory equipment. A significant part of the assignments can be made at home, thus lowering the pressure on students to finish the tasks on time. The proposed method is described on three basic examples explaining characteristic phases of the TSMST method.

본 논문에서는 구동전압 인가 방식에 따른 면광원의 방전특성에 대해 분석한다. 2kV이상의 고전압 전원장치의 직접 이용은 구성 소자의 전압 스트레스를 증가시키며 가격 상승의 원인이 된다. 100~400V대의 전원장치에 변압기를 적용하여 구동전압을 인가하게 되면 전원 및 구동회로의 간략화를 도모할 수 있으나 변압기의 영향으로 인한 천이 지연시간, 파형왜곡의 영향으로 방전 불안정 및 광효율 저하를 야기할 수 있다. 전원 출력전압 및 변압기의 권선비에 따른 직접구동과의 비교연구를 통하여 최적 설계 방안을 도모한다.

In this paper, the switching losses and performances of Silicon Carbide(SiC) and Silicon based on the MOSFETs have been compared. To do this experiment, the buck converter using both SiC and Si devices have been built and tested. As a result, it has been confirmed that the converter with SiC devices shows better efficiency and performance compared with the converter using Si devices.
