This paper presents single-phase SRM drive system with single-stage high power factor and low torque ripple. Single-phase SRM has simple mechanical and electrical structure, robust and high speed operation characteristic. But conventional SRM drive with diode bridge rectifier and filter capacitor has a low power factor because of short charge time of capacitor. Therefore, this paper presents a novel single-phase SRM drive with single-stage structure circuit, which can improve the power factor and reduce peak torque ripple. A novel switching topology is presented base on mathematical analysis. The novel drive method is verified by simulations and experiments.

In this paper, a low-cost single-phase PWM rectifier with small DC-link capacitors is proposed, where a buck-boost converter with a low power rating is added at the DC link. By controlling the auxiliary circuit so as to absorb the voltage ripple in the DC link, the second-order voltage ripple in DC-link capacitor can be reduced significantly. Therefore, a small film capacitor can be utilized to replace the bulky electrolytic capacitors. The simulation results are shown to verify the validity of the proposed method.

A single-phase PVPCS(photovoltaic power conditioning system) that contains a single phase dc-ac inverter tends to draw an ac ripple current at twice the out frequency. Such a ripple current may shorten passive elements life span and worsen output current THD. As a result, it may reduce the efficiency of the whole PVPCS system. In this paper, the ripple current propagation is analyzed, and two methods to reduce the ripple current are proposed. Firslyt, this paper presents notch filter with IP voltage controller to reject specific current ripple in single-phase PVPCS. The notch filter can be designed that suppress just only specific frequency component and no phase delay. The proposed notch filter can suppress output command signal in the ripple bandwidth for reducing output current THD. Secondly, for reducing specific current ripple, the other method is feed-forward compensation to incorporate a current control loop in the dc-dc converter. The proposed notch filter and feed-forward compensation method have been verified with computer simulation and simulation results obtained demonstrate the validity of the proposed control scheme.

In this study, a novel reactive power control scheme is proposed to supply stable reactive power to the distribution line by compensating a ripple voltage of DC link. In a single-phase system, a magnitude of second harmonic is inevitably generated in the DC link voltage, and this phenomenon is further increased when the capacity of DC link capacitor decreases. Reactive power control was performed by controlling the d-axis current in the virtual synchronous reference frame, and the voltage control for maintaining the DC link voltage was implemented through the q-axis current control. The proposed method for compensating the ripple voltage was classified into three parts, which consist of the extraction unit of DC link voltage, high pass filter (HPF), and time delay unit. HPF removes an offset component of DC link voltage extracted from integral, and a time delay unit compensates the phase leading effect due to the HPF. The compensated DC voltage is used as feedback component of voltage control loop to supply stable reactive power. The performance of the proposed algorithm was verified through simulation and experiments. At DC link capacitance of 375 uF, the magnitude of ripple voltage decreased to 8 Vpp from 74 Vpp in the voltage control loop, and the total harmonic distortion of the current was improved.

In this paper, we propose a developing approach of 600 W super high frequency(SHF) traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) for communications. Also, we make a TWTA called the experimental-TWTA(ETWTA), which uses a cathode ripple reduction technique to improve RF performance. After implementation, we discuss, and compare it with some other TWTAs. Its RF performance is better than that of other TWTAs. Therefore, this methodology can be used to develop the high power SHF TWTA for communications.

Brushless DC motors have trapezoidal back emf waveform. Generally, because it is drived by a voltage source inverter, the ideal rectangular phase current is not available and therefore produce torque ripple. In this paper, the torque ripple due to commutation is analysed and the practical method that can reduce the torque ripple is proposed. Simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The brushless DC motor with trapezoidal back emfs has torque ripple due to phase commutation. The torque ripple generates noise and vibration and cause errors in position control so this makes the brushless DC motor less suitable for high performance servo applications. In this paper, we propose a new current control method to reduce the torque ripple due to commutation, when the unipolar PWM method is applied for the phase current control of brushless DC motor.

In the design of the battery charger it is important to limit the ripple current and voltage according to the manufacturer's recommendation for the reliable service and the extended life of the battery. However, it is often overlooked that these ripple components can cause internal heating of the battery, thereby reducing its service life. Thus the care must be taken in the design of the switching converter for the charge application through the accurate estimation of the output ripple values. In this research analysis on the output ripple of the dc-dc converter is detailed to provide a guideline for the design of the battery charger.

PMSM drives are widely used in the industrial and residential applications because of high efficiency, high power density and high performance. For better performance of PMSM, however, torque ripples should be reduced. This paper investigates a reduction of torque ripple due to the unsinusoidal flux linkage produced by the shapes of stator slot and magnetic pole. To minimize torque ripple, a simple flux estimator is proposed. This method interatively compensates the distributed flux linkage from an error between the measured and estimated currents. The proposed algorithm is verified through simulation.
