A novel multilevel PWM inverter is presented for the use of stand-alone photovoltaic power generation system. In appearance, it consists of three full-bridge modules and three cascaded transformers; therefore, the configuration of the proposed multilevel PW inverter is equal to that of a prior 11-level PWM inverter. Only the turn-ratio of a transformer and its corresponding switching function are different from each other. Owing to these differences, the proposed 19-level PWM inverter has two promising advantages. First, output voltage levels increase almost twofold. Consequently, it can generate more sinusoidal output voltage waveform. Second, due to a revised switching pattern, it lightens power imposed on the transformer, which is used for compensating output voltages with chopped pulses between steps. The validity of the proposed inverter system is verified by computer-aided simulations and experimental results based on a 1 ［kW］ prototype. The performance of the proposed 19-level PWM inverter is compared with the Prior 11-level PWM inverter and other counterparts.

A three-phase three-level shunt active filter controlled by fuzzy logic current controller which can compensate current harmonics generated by nonlinear loads is presented. Three-level inverters and fuzzy controllers have been successfully employed in several power electronic applications these past years. To improve the conventional pwm controller performance, a new control scheme based on fuzzy current controller is adopted for three-level (NPC) shunt active filter. The scheme is designed to improve compensation capability of APF by adjusting the current error using a fuzzy rule. The inverter current reference signals required to compensate harmonic currents use the synchronous reference detection method. This technique is easy to implement and achieves good results. To maintain the dc voltage across capacitor constant and reduce inverter losses, a proportional integral voltage controller is used. The simulation of global system control and power circuits is performed using Matlab-Simulink and SimPowerSystem toolbox. The results obtained in transient and steady states under various operating conditions show the effectiveness of the proposed shunt active filter based on fuzzy current controller compared to the conventional scheme.

This study proposes a new pulse-width modulation switching pattern for the low conduction loss of a three-level neutral point clamped (NPC)-based dual-active bridge (DAB) converter. The operational principle for a bidirectional power conversion is a phase-shift modulation. The conventional switching method of the three-level NPC-based DAB converter shows a symmetric switching pattern. This method has a disadvantage of high root-mean-square (RMS) value of the coupling inductor current, which leads to high conduction loss. The proposed switching method shows an asymmetrical pattern, which can reduce the RMS value of the inductor current with lower conduction loss than that of the conventional method. The performance of the proposed asymmetrical switching method is theoretically analyzed and practically verified using simulation and experiment.

최근 에너지 문제가 사회적인 이슈가 되면서, 그린컴퓨팅이 주목을 받고 있다. 그린 컴퓨팅을 위한 다각적인 접근 방법 중 하나로, 컴퓨터의 전력 소비 프로파일링에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는데, 대표적으로 PowerAPI, PowerTop, JouleMeter, pTop, 그리고 EnergyChecker 등의 도구가 있다. 이러한 연구들은 순수 소프트웨어에 기반하여 각 컴퓨터 디바이스들의 소비 전력을 측정할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 이를 바탕으로 프로세스 레벨에서 전력 소비 프로파일링을 수행함으로써 각 프로그램의 전력 소비량도 분석할 수 있다. 따라서 전력을 많이 소비하는 프로세스를 파악하고 제어함으로서 전체 전력 소비를 줄이거나, 프로그램 설계 시 프로파일링 전력 데이터를 바탕으로 저전력 프로그램설계를 가능케 하여, 궁극적으로 그린 컴퓨팅을 지향할 수 있게 한다. 본 논문에서는 전술한 대표적인 연구들을 비교 분석하여 이상적인 프로세스 레벨 전력 소비 프로파일러의 특징들을 도출하고자 한다.

The analog-to-digital-converter-based (ADC-based) backplane receivers that consist of a front-end ADC followed by a digital equalizer are gaining more popularity in recent years, as they support more sophisticated equalization required for high data rates, scale better with fabrication technology, and are more immune to PVT variations. Unfortunately, designing an ADC-based receiver that meets tight power and performance budgets of high-speed backplane link systems is non-trivial as both front-end ADC and digital equalizer can be power consuming and complex when running at high speed. This paper reviews the state of art designs for the front-end ADC and digital equalizers to suggest implementation choices that can achieve high speed while maintaining low power consumption and complexity. Design-space exploration using system-level models of the ADC-based receiver allows through analysis on the impact of design parameters, providing useful information in optimizing the power and performance of the receiver at the early stage of design. The system-level simulation results with newer device parameters reveal that, although the power consumption of the ADC-based receiver may not comparable to the receivers with analog equalizers yet, they will become more attractive as the fabrication technology continues to scale as power consumption of digital equalizer scales well with process.

This paper presents a new method for choosing the best line for transmission system expansion planning considering the highest reliability level of the transmission system. Conventional methodologies for transmission system expansion planning have been mainly focused on economics, which is the minimization of construction costs. However, quantitative evaluation of transmission system reliability is important because successful operation and planning of an electric power system under the deregulated electricity market depends on transmission system reliability management. Therefore, it is expected that the development of methodology for choosing the best lines considering the highest transmission system reliability level while taking into account uncertainties of transmission system equipment is useful for the future. The characteristics and effectiveness of the proposed methodology are illustrated by the case study using a MRBTS.

전력증폭기에서는 특유의 비선형 특성에 의해 출력에 왜곡이 발생하므로 이를 보상할 수 있는 방안을 강구하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 쇼트키 다이오드를 직렬로 삽입한 전력증폭기용 프리디스토터의 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. 이를 통해 쇼트키 다이오드의 비선형 특성을 이용한 프리디스토터를 전력증폭기 전단에 삽입하면 전력증폭기를 선형화 시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 즉, 입력 신호 레벨이 낮으면 입력된 신호는 전력증폭기로 그대로 들어가지만 입력 신호레벨이 높으면 프리디스토터에서 감쇄되어 전달된다. 그러므로 전력증폭기는 항상 saturation 영역에서만 동작하게 된다. Serenade 8.0을 이용하여 모의 실험을 통해 약 3% 가량의 효율이 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 500MHz에서 2.2㎓까지의 대역 중 1.8㎓ 대역에서 가장 확실한 비선형특성을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.
