This paper presents a circuit configuration of multilevel inverter to increase the number of output voltage levels by using conventional 5-level inverters connected in series. Most of all it can maximize the number of output voltage levels by employing input voltage sources, which have the power of five. When it synthesizes the same number of output voltage levels, the proposed inverter can save the number of switching devices compared with the conventional cascaded H-bridge cell inverter. So it can reduce the size, cost, power consumption of the system. We implemented computer-aided simulation and experiments for a 25-level inverter employing two 5-level inverters.

In this paper, a new basic unit is proposed. Then, a cascaded multilevel inverter basded on the series connection of n number of these new basic units is proposed. In order to generate all of the voltage levels (even and odd) at the output, three different algorithms to determine the magnitude of the dc voltage source are proposed. Reductions in the number of power switches, driver circuits and dc voltage sources in addition to increases in the numbr of output voltage levels are some of the advantages of the proposed cascaded multilevel inverter. These results are obtained through a comparison of the proposed inverter and its algorithms with an H-bridge cascaded multilevel inverter from the point of view of the number of power electronic devices. Finally, the capability of the proposed topology with its proposed algorithms in generating all of the voltage levels is verified through experimental results on a laboratorary prototype of a 49-level inverter.

This paper proposed that a AC-DC Converter topology of high power factor with soft switching mode operates with four chopper connecting a number of parallel circuit. To improve these, a large number of soft switching topologies included a resonant circuit have been proposed. And, some simulative results on computer is included to confirm the validity of the analytical results. The partial resonant circuit makes use of a inductor using step up and a condenser of loss-less snubber. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of system is high. And the snubber condenser used in partial resonant circuit makes charging engergy regenerated at input power source for resonant operation. The proposed conversion system is deemed the most suitable for high power applications where the power switching devices are used.

This paper proposes a stochastic modeling of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) distribution in power systems, and analyzes the corresponding clustering characteristic. It is essential for power utilities to estimate the PEV charging demand as the penetration level of PEV is expected to increase rapidly in the near future. Although the distribution of PEVs in power systems is the primary factor for estimating the PEV charging demand, the data currently available are statistics related to fuel-driven vehicles and to existing electric demands in power systems. In this paper, we calculate the number of households using electricity at individual ending buses of a power system based on the electric demands. Then, we estimate the number of PEVs per household using the probability density function of PEVs derived from the given statistics about fuel-driven vehicles. Finally, we present the clustering characteristic of the PEV distribution via case studies employing the test systems.

We analyze the capacity of the imperfect power controlled DS/CDMA system with the Nakagami faded AMPS interferers by means of the analytical approach. Unlike the theoretical aassumption, the power control of the DS/CDMA system is not perfect. Therefore in this analysis we consider various parameters which cause the capacityreduction of the DS/CDMA system, the imperfect power control, the Nakagami fading index, he processing gain, and the number of AMPS interferers. The analytical results are compared with the Prasad's results which are considered only the imperfect power control of the DS/CDMA system. It is shown that the DS/CDMA capacity is decreased according to the increase of the deviation of the imperfect power control, to icrease the number pf the analog interfering users, and to decrease the processing gain.

In an electron storage ring of Pohang Light Source (PLS), electrons lose their energy in every turn by the synchronous radiation. A high power RF amplifier is employed to compensate the electron energy that is lost by the synchronous radiation. The specification of RF amplifier is an continuous output power of 60 kW at 500.082 MHz operating frequency. The power is supplied to RF cavities in the storage ring tunnel. Total number of amplifier system currently required is three. Tile total number will be increased upto five as the operating condition of storage ring is upgraded. The RF amplifier is mainly consisted of a high voltage DC power supply, an intermediate RF power amplifier (IPA), and a klystron tube. In this article, the design of RF amplifier system and characteristics of the klystron tube will be discussed.

A power cordial labeling of a graph G = (V (G), E(G)) is a bijection f : V (G) → {1, 2, ..., |V (G)|} such that an edge e = uv is assigned the label 1 if f(u) = (f(v))ⁿ or f(v) = (f(u))ⁿ, for some n ∈ ℕ ∪ {0} {0} and the label 0 otherwise, then the number of edges labeled with 0 and the number of edges labeled with 1 differ by at most 1. In this paper, we study power cordial labeling and investigate power cordial labeling for some standard graph families.

This paper presents the generalized method of the prediction of the LOS propagating characteristics in an urban microcell by using theray tracing technique. Whereas the received power is calculated by the finite number of pths, 4~10, on an urban steet, the RMS delay spread is comuted by using the sufficient rays of convergence. To take into account the infinite number of paths the technique of the numbering scheme of image antennas was presented by using the rectangular pulse. As to this the existing restriction of the finitte number of paths was relaxed. based on the method of extending the number of paths and the canyon model the received power and RMS delay spread are computed and their differences according to the number of paths are compared at the frequencies of both 1GHz and 2GHz, respectively.

We investigate the transmit power control algorithm for multi-access points environment. Each terminal may transmit a signal to one of these access points. Each access point may receive a signal from desired terminals as well as interference from neighbor terminals. In this paper, a transmit power control algorithm is developed such that the total transmit power is minimized, while each terminal meets the target signal to interference ratio (SIR) requirement. In particular, the effect of increasing the number of access-points on the total transmit power consumption is analyzed. Based on this analysis, we propose a convergence guaranteed power control algorithm. We prove that the proposed iterative algorithm always converges to the target SIR. In addition, we show that the proposed algorithm optimizes the transmit power level. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm guarantees convergence regardless of the number of access points. We also observed that increasing the number of access points reduces the total transmit power consumption.

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for a low power turbo decoder based on reduction of number of decoding iterations, targeting power-critical mobile communication devices. Previous researches that attempt to reduce number of decoding iterations, such as CRC-aided and LLR methods, either show degraded BER performance in return for reduced complexity or require additional hardware resources for controlling the number of iterations to meet BER performance, respectively. The proposed algorithm can reduce power consumption without degrading the BER performance, and it is achieved with minimal hardware overhead. The proposed algorithm achieves this by comparing consecutive hard decision results using a simple buffer and counter. Simulation results show that the number of decoding iterations can be reduced to about 60% without degrading the BER performance in the proposed decoder, and power consumption can be saved in proportion to the number of decoding iterations.
