This paper presents a new zero voltage switching (ZVS) converter for medium power and high input voltage applications. Three three-level pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuits with the same power switches are adopted to clamp the voltage stress of MOSFETs at $V_{in}/2$ and to achieve load current sharing. Thus, the current stresses and power ratings of transformers and power semiconductors at the secondary side are reduced. The resonant inductance and resonant capacitance are resonant at the transition interval such that active switches are turned on at ZVS within a wide range of input voltage and load condition. The series-connected transformers are adopted in each three-level circuit. Each transformer can work as an inductor to smooth the output current or a transformer to achieve the electric isolation and power transfer. Thus, no output inductor is needed at the secondary side. Three center-tapped rectifiers connected in parallel are used at the secondary side to achieve load current sharing. Compared with the conventional parallel three-level converters, the proposed converter has less switch counts. Finally, experiments based on a 1.44kW prototype are provided to verify the operation principle of proposed converter.

In this paper, an analysis of power losses for the three-level T-type and neutral-point clamped (NPC) PWM inverters is presented, in which the conduction and switching losses of semiconductor devices of the inverters are taken into account. In the inverter operation, the conduction loss depends on the modulation index (MI) and power factor (PF), whereas the switching loss depends on the switching frequency. Power losses for the T-type and NPC inverters are analyzed and calculated at the different operating points of MI, PF and the switching frequency, in which the four different models of semiconductor devices are adopted. In the case of lower MI, the NPC-type is more efficient than the T-type, and vice versa. The validity of the power loss analysis has been verified by the simulation results.

Active hybrid solid state transformer(AHSST) is newly emerging as a device to maintan the power quality of power distribution. AHSST has a simple structure in which a power electronics device is connected in series to a conventional distribution transformer. The connected power electronics device maintains the constant voltage regardless of the primary grid voltage fluctuation through the secondary voltage control to improve the power quality. It also has a simple structure compare to conventional solid state transformer system and can achieve the same performance with fractionally-rated converter. This paper proposes an multi-level converter based on AHSST system that has a simpler control method and wider voltage control range than the conventional AHSST. The proposed system is verified by simulations.

Recently, concern for tidal power is being increased by newly recycled energy. It is important to decide on the maximum power estimate operation and it's stop by applying the difference of water level between tide level and artificial reservoir for the administration of tidal development. For maximum output of power through turbine generator, administrative variables and process on efficiency of hydraulic turbine and inflow discharge of reservoir is quite complicated because it is run through the connection of discharge-gate and turbine On the development of this model, the administrative process is decided, Operation block is presented for it's maximum power estimate.

This paper proposes a new power flow control method for soft-switched, four channel, five level resonant buck dc-dc converters. These converters have two input channels, which can be supplied from sources with identical or different voltages, and four output channels with arbitrary output voltages. They are specially designed to supply multilevel inverters. The design methodology for their power flow control has been developed considering a general case when the input voltages, output voltages and loads can be asymmetrical. A special emphasize is paid to the limitations and restrictions of operation. The theoretical studies are confirmed by numerical simulations and laboratory tests carried out at various operation points. Exploiting the advantages of the newly proposed power control strategy, the converter can supply five level inverters in dc microgrids, active filters, power factor correctors and electric drives. They can also play an interfacing role in renewable energy systems.

A new thermal type fluid level transmitter was designed and tested at the HITROL R&D institute. The relation of heat transfer and electric resistance was adopted as an operation principle. The length of a fabricated level transmitter was two meters and a water under normal temperature was used as a working fluid for the experiment Finally, the new product could have a high precision, acceptable accuracy and reasonable response time. Foreign-made level transmitter of this type is under in use for measuring water level of containment building in nuclear power plants so far. It is expected that new product will substitute it.

This paper uses the switching function approach to present a simple state model of the Vienna-type rectifier. The approach introduces the relationship between the DC-link neutral point voltage and the AC side phase currents. A novel direct power control (DPC) strategy, which is based on the sliding mode control (SMC) for Vienna I rectifiers, is developed using the proposed power model in the stationary ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ reference frames. The SMC-based DPC methodology directly regulates instantaneous active and reactive powers without transforming to a synchronous rotating coordinate reference frame or a tracking phase angle of grid voltage. Moreover, the required rectifier control voltages are directly calculated by utilizing the non-linear SMC scheme. Theoretically, active and reactive power flows are controlled without ripple or cross coupling. Furthermore, the fixed-switching frequency is obtained by employing the simplified space vector modulation (SVM). SVM solves the complicated designing problem of the AC harmonic filter. The simplified SVM is based on the simplification of the space vector diagram of a three-level converter into that of a two-level converter. The dwelling time calculation and switching sequence selection are easily implemented like those in the conventional two-level rectifier. Replacing the current control loops with power control loops simplifies the system design and enhances the transient performance. The simulation models in MATLAB/Simulink and the digital signal processor-controlled 1.5 kW Vienna-type rectifier are used to verify the fast responses and robustness of the proposed control scheme.

본 논문에서는 파워게이팅과 전압레벨조절을 이용하여 누설전류를 줄인 SRAM을 제안하였다. 제안된 파워게이팅 기법은 데이터를 저장하지 않은 메모리 셀 블록의 전력공급을 차단함으로써 누설전류를 크게 감소시키고, 제안된 전압레벨조절 기법은 데이터가 저장된 메모리 셀 블록의 접지전압을 올림으로써 누설전류를 줄여준다. $4K{\times}8$비트 SRAM 칩은 $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 제작되었고 VDD=1.2V로 동작하였다. 메모리 사용률이 0~100%에 대하여, 동작 모드에서의 누설전류는 $1.23{\sim}9.87{\mu}W$이고 대기 모드에서 누설전류는 $1.23{\sim}3.01{\mu}W$였다. 대기 모드 동안에, 제안된 SRAM의 누설전류는 기존의 SRAM의 12.5~30.5%로 감소하였다.

원전에서 각종 전자카드는 시간에 경과함에 따라 열화가 되므로 이에 대한 대책이 필요하다. 이 열화 카드들 중에서 노외중성자감시시스템의 카드들은 방사선원의 레벨에서 발생되는 중성자속을 총 원자로출력의 200%까지 연속적으로 감시하게 되는데, 원자로출력이 낮을 때의 경우와 높을 때의 경우의 출력감시신호처리 방법이 달라야 한다. 원자로 출력이 낮을 때는 대수적으로 발생되는 펄스신호를 선형적으로 계수하여 신호처처리를 해야 되지만, 원자로 출력이 커지게 되면 통계이론에 의한 방법으로 처리해야 정확한 값을 얻을 수 있기 때문이다. 이때 전자카드가 열화되는 것이 문제가 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 저출력일 때와 고출력일 때의 신호처리 방법을 달리하여 일정한 기준에 의한 원자로의 출력레벨에서 이를 저출력에서 고출력으로 전환하기 위한 열화 입력선택회로를 개발하였다. 개발된 선택회로의 신뢰성을 확인하기 위하여 원전에서 사용되는 실제의 데이터값을 적용하여 테스트하였으며, 그 결과를 분석하여 선택회로의 정당성을 입증하였다.
