The plasma process is applied to various industrial fields such as high-tech IT industry, textiles and medical. Therefore, there is increasing interest in the plasma power supply, and demand for power devices of high efficiency and high power density is increased. Plasma power supply for process must solve the arc problem, when the plasma is unstable. The output capacitor is closely related to the arc problem. If the output capacitor is smaller, the damage from the arc problem is reduced. However, the small value of the output capacitor affects the operating characteristics of the power supply. In this paper, a LLC resonant converter is adopted, because it can achieve high efficiency and power density in the plasma DC power supply. However, due to the small value of the output capacitor, the converter is operated as a LLCC resonant converter. Therefore, a gain characteristic of LLCC resonant converter is analyzed by using the FHA (First Harmonic Approximation) in plasma power supply. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the characteristic analysis of LLCC Resonant Converter.

Recently, According to increase of power demand, it was increased a demand that switching power supply have characteristic of low-loss and high-efficiency. So increase of using device, the failure rate increases and service life problem arises. Even though normal circuit protection is applied in designing stage, it is often hard to identify the cause of malfunction in certain cases such as fatigued power supply due to over-running, malfunctions of main elements or over heating. This report will cover experimental results with the prototype we made, that monitors the efficiency of switching power supply and that protects a circuit when it drops below the standard value.

This paper presents a power supply for gate drivers, which uses a magnetic resonance wireless power transfer system. Unlike other methods where multiple antennas are used to supply power for the gate drivers, the proposed method uses a single antenna in an insulated receiver to make multiple mutually isolated power supplies. The power transmitted via single antenna is distributed to multiple power supplies for gate drivers through resonant capacitors connected in parallel that also block DC bias. This approach has many advantages over other methods, where each gate driver needs to be supplied with power using multiple receiver antennas. The proposed method will therefore lead to a reduction in production costs and circuit area. Because the proposed circuit uses a high resonance frequency of 6.78 MHz, it is possible to implement a transmitter and a receiver using a small-sized spiral printed-circuit-board-type antenna. This paper used a single phase-leg circuit configuration to experimentally verify the performance characteristics of the proposed method.

The effect of power supply noise on the phase noise of a ring oscillator is studied. The power supply noise source in series with DC power supply voltage is applied to a 3 stage CMOS ring oscillator. The phase noise due to the power supply noise is modeled by the narrow band phase modulation. The model is verified by the fact that the spectrum of output of ring oscillator has two side bands at the frequencies offset from the frequency of the ring oscillator by the frequency of the power supply noise source. Simulations at several different frequency of the power supply noise reveals that the ring oscillator acts as a low pass filter to the power supply noise. This study, as a result, shows that the phase noise generated by the power supply noise is inversely proportional to the frequency offset from the carrier frequency.

Currently, to overcome the limit of a 14V power supply system and to enhance the stability of this system high and to make the fuel efficiency better, a research development of a 42V power supply system is actively the progress. As an intermediate step to change into an unity power supply system, a 42V/14V dual power supply system uses a DC/DC Converter as one of structure elements. Considering the main electric power sources in the next generation of the car is a 42V system a 14V power supply system has advantages as follows : In be managed efficiently and to increase the redundancy at start, to jump start with any vehicles, etc. We need the introduction of a hi-directional converter that can flow the energy each other in a dual 42V-l2V system. This paper proposed the ZVS hi-directional CUK DC/DC converter which decrease the weight with the size of the DC/DC Converter and minimize the loss when the switching happen. In this paper, a circuit design method and an action principle of the circuit was proposed. To verify the proposed circuit, a comprehensive evaluation with theoretical analysis, simulation results is presented.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) reactor with sinsodual AC type of power supply is very widely adopted for its compact size and effective discharging mechanism to generate high density of ozone radicals. However, at the aspect of design on power supply, its optimal switching conditions and topology is achieved by empirical test. Therefore, throughout this paper, it is proposed a design method of DBD power supply to guarantee a maximum ozone yield rate in accordance with DBD reactor modification and impedance variation when rapid gas discharging in the DBD reactor is proceeded.

There are many difficulties to supply constant power to marine facilities which operate in the sea. Especially, there is a limit to stand alone power supply systems due to the influence of weather conditions. That's why a hybrid power supply system is required to overcome these problems. This paper will describe an Electronic Anti-Fouling System (EAFS) to maximise the power efficiency for a solar - wave hybrid power generation system. A main factor reducing the efficiency of a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) is due to the attachment of aquatic life forms. Therefore the aim of this research is to develop a simulation programme to enable the design of more efficient EAFS for hybrid power generation systems and to provide valuable data for production of more efficient EAFS.

Magnetic field distribution of rotating flux type Low-Tc superconducting (LTS) power supply with respect to the applied current on exciters is investigated in detail by using Finite Element Method (FEM). LTS power supply consists of two exciters, a rotor, a stator and superconductor foil attached to the inner surface of the stator and LTS load. The current pumping of LTS power supply is induced by partial-quenching and recovery of superconductor foil. For this reason, magnetic flux density on superconductor foil must be sufficiently greater than the its critical magnetic density. In this analysis, the normal spot on superconductor foil appears more than 10A of excitation current. The results of this analysis are calculated and compared with the experimental results.
