This paper proposes a circuit technique that reduces losses cauased by reverse-recovery characteristics of the diode in converters. In high voltage, high power, Reverse recovery characteristics of the diode gives large stresses to switching devices. To solve the problem, we propose a circuit with active snubber between diode and switch. By controling di/dt rate of thr diode, the proposed technique reduces the losses and the stresses of switching devices.

Single-phase full-bridge inverters have shoot-through problems. Dead time is an essential way of solving these issues, but it distorts the output voltage and current. Dual-buck inverters are designed to eliminate the abovementioned problems. However, these inverters result in switching power loss and electromagnetic interference due to the diode reverse-recovery problem. Previous studies have suggested reducing the switching power loss from diode reverse-recovery, but their proposed methods have complex circuit configurations and high system costs. To alleviate the switching power loss from diode reverse-recovery, the current work proposes a dual-buck inverter with a coupled inductor. In the structure of the proposed inverter, the current flowing into the original diode is divided into a new diode. Therefore, the switching power loss is reduced, and the efficiency of the proposed inverter is improved. Simulation waveforms and experimental results for a 1.0 kW prototype inverter are discussed to verify the performance of the proposed inverter.

본 논문에서는 인터리브된 전류 주입형 고승압 DC-DC 컨버터가 제안된다. 높은 전압 이득 외에도 인터리빙 방식을 채택하여 낮은 리플 입력 전류가 달성된다. 또한 제안 된 컨버터의 소프트 스위칭 특성은 전력 스위치의 스위칭 손실을 줄이고 변환 효율을 높인다. 변압기의 누설 인덕턴스를 활용하여 다이오드의 전류 변화율을 제어함으로써 출력 정류기의 역 회복 문제도 완화된다. 200W 프로토 타입에서 얻은 실험 결과에 대해 설명한다.

To overcome the problem of the diode reverse recovery in high switching frequency inverter, a new gate drive scheme is proposed for IGBT in this paper. Using this circuit, the reverse recovery current can be controlled and faster switching time can be achieved for hard switching inverter. The over-current protection method, which is suitable for the proposed gate driver, is also presented. The operation of the proposed circuit is investigated and its usefulness is verified through the experimental results.

Reconstruction of the distal portion of the great toe has always represented a difficult problem to surgeons. There are many methods of flap reconstruction described for foot defects, but none for tip of the great toe. We report a case of reconstruction of the great toe using a homodigital reverse pedicle island flap method. A 25-year-old man had a crushing injury at the distal phalanx of the left great toe. A homodigital reverse pedicle island flap was raised from the dorso-medial aspect of the proximal phalanx of the great toe based on the distal dorsal arcade. The flap covered the exposed distal phalanx and stump was closed without shortening. He made an uncomplicated recovery and when seen 6 months later he had a good cosmetic and functional result. A homodigital reverse pedicle island flap is described for the reconstruction of the distal part of the great toe. It involves only a single stage procedure with minimal donor site morbidity and provides a good cosmetic results.

We consider a product recovery system that a single product is stocked in order to meet a demand from customers who may return products after usage. This paper addresses a problem of when to release a procurement process to replenish serviceable inventory and how many new products to procure. The structure of the optimal procurement policy is examined and numerically identified as a monotonic threshold curve. A numerical procedure is presented to jointly find the optimal procurement order size, optimal procurement policy, and optimal discounted profit. Sensitivity analysis also indicates that these optimal performance measurements have monotonic properties with respect to system parameters.

Reverse logistics network design issues have been popularly discussed in recent years. However, few papers in the past literature have been dedicated to incentive effect on return quantity of used products. The purpose of this study is to formulate a dynamic nonlinear programming model of reverse logistics network design with the aim of managing the used products allocation by coordinating the collection centers and recovery facilities to warrant economic efficiency. In the optimization model, a fuzzy approach is applied to interpret the relationship between the rate of return and the suggested incentives. Due to funding constraints in setting up the collection centers, this work considers these centers as multi-capacity levels, which can be opened or closed at different periods. In view of the fact that the problem is known as NP-hard, we propose a heuristic method based on tabu search procedure to solve the presented model. Finally, several dominance properties of optimal solutions are demonstrated in comparison with the results of a state-of-the-art commercial solver.

This paper proposes a high-efficiency single-stage ac/dc converter. The proposed converter features low voltage stresses and reduced switching losses. It operates at the boundary of discontinuous- and continuous-conduction modes by employing variable switching frequency control. The turn-on switching loss of the switch can be reduced by turning it on when the voltage across it is at a minimum. The voltage across the bulk capacitor is independent of the output loads and maintained within the practical range for the universal line input, so the problem of high voltage stress across the bulk capacitor is alleviated. Moreover, the voltage stress of the output diodes is clamped to the output voltage, and the output diodes are turned off at zero-current. Thus, the reverse-recovery related losses of the output diodes are eliminated. The operational principles and circuit analysis are presented. A prototype circuit was built and tested for a 150 W (50V/3A) output power. The experimental results verify the performance of the proposed converter.

The potential induced degradation (PID) phenomenon shows severe power loss within several years from the initial installation of solar power system. The accumulated power loss by PID is inevitable because the PID is suspected only if the power loss exceeds several percent. In this paper, we analyzed the cases of PID diagnosis and recovery by visiting the suspected PID site about 17 months after the installation of the 100kW PV system. The power difference of the two 50kW inverters was more than 20kWh, and the PR difference was more than 8%. From the beginning of the installation, the difference in power gradually increased. The recovery was observed for about 7 months by applying 1000V in the reverse bias at night. As a result, the power difference of the two inverters was recovered to within 2kWh. In the case of a power station suffering from PID in the field, it will be helpful for stable development operation by quick diagnosis and problem solving.

본 논문은 폐가전제품의 재활용을 위한 공동회수모형을 연구한 것이다. 이 모형은 지자체 및 생산자의 폐가전제품 수집소에 회수되어 있는 폐가전제품을 R/C(재활용 센터) 운송하는 거리를 최소화하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 현재 재활용을 위한 폐가전제품 회수물류 활동은 수집소 개별적으로 이루어지고 있어, 과도한 운송거리 및 운송비용의 초래 및 낮은 차량 적재율 등의 비효율적인 면이 존재하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 비효율적인 점을 개선하기 위해 공동회수모형을 제안하고 이를 정수계획모형과 실제 R/C의 입고자료를 이용하여 그 효과를 분석했다.
