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.

This study describes the conceptual design of a soft x-ray microscope system based on a laserbased source for biomedical application with high resolution (${\leq}$50nm). The laboratory scale soft x-ray microscope consists of high power laser plasma x-ray source and grazing incidence mirrors with high reflectivity. The laser plasma source used for developing this system employs Q-switched Nd-YAG pulsed laser. The laser beam is focused on a tantalum (Ta) target. The Wolter type I mirror was used as condenser optics for sample illumination and as objective mirror for focusing on a detector. The fabrication of the Wolter type I mirror was direct internal cutting using ultraprecision DTM. A hydrated biological specimen was put between the two silicon wafers, the center of which was $Si_3N_4$ windows of 100㎚ thickness. The main issues in the future development work are to make a stable, reliable and reproducible x-ray microscope system.

This paper deals with a fixed frequency full-bridge inverter type DC-DC high-power converter with high frequency high voltage(HFHV) transformer-coupled stage, which operates under quasi-resonant ZVS transition priciple in spite of a wide PWM-based voltage regulation processing and largely-changed load conditions. This multi-resonant(MR) converter topology is composed of a series capacitor-connected parallel resonant tank which makes the most of parasitic circuit reactive components of HFHV transformer and two additional quasi-resonant pole circuits incorporated into the bridge legs. The soft-switching operation and practical efficacy of this new converter circuit using the latest IGBTs are actually ascertained through 50kV trially-produced converter system operating using 20kHz/30kHz high voltage(HV) transformers which is applied for driving the diagnostic HV X-ray tube load in medical equipments. It is proved from a practical point of view that the switching losses of IGBTs and their electrical dynamic stresses relating to EMI noise can be considerably reduced under a high frequency(HF) switching-based phase-shift PWM control process for a load setting requirements.

This paper proposes a non-isolated bidirectional soft-switching converter with high voltage for high step-up/down and high power applications. Compared to the conventional boost converter the proposed converter can achieve approximately doubled voltage gain using the same duty cycle. The voltage ratings of the switch and diode are reduced to half, which result in the use of devices with lower $R_{DS(ON)}$ and on drop leading to reduced conduction losses. Also, voltage ratings of the passive components are reduced, and therefore the total energy volume is reduced to half. Further, the switch is turned on with ZVS in the CCM operation which results in negligible surge caused leading to reduced switching losses. The validity of the proposed converter is proved through a 10kW prototype.

In this paper, a novel type auxiliary active edge resonant snubber assisted zero current soft switching pulse modulation Single-Ended Push Pull (SEPP) series load resonant inverter using IGBT power modules is proposed for cost effective consumer high-frequency induction heating (IH) appliances. Its operating principle in steady state is described by using each switching mode's equivalent operating circuits. The new multi resonant high-frequency inverter with series load resonance and edge resonance can regulate its high frequency output power under a condition of a constant frequency zero current soft switching (ZCS) commutation principle on the basis of the asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) control scheme. Brand-new consumer IH products using the proposed ZCS-PWM series load resonant SEPP high-frequency inverter using IGBTs is evaluated and discussed as compared with conventional high-frequency inverters on the basis of experimental results. In order to extend ZCS operation ranges under a low power setting PWM as well as to improve efficiency, the high frequency pulse density modulation (PDM) strategy is demonstrated for high frequency multi-resonant inverters. Its practical effectiveness is substantially proved from an application point of view.

This paper proposes a grid - connected CTTS system that can be soft switched to meet the government's effective resource allocation policy for emergency generator. In order to eliminate the system instability caused by the large inrush current generation in the system switching, a new virtual rotation coordinate method for the dissimilar power source is proposed. The proposed virtual rotation coordinate method improves the voltage detection accuracy of the voltage difference of the dissimilar power supply, and it is proved that the synchronous switching characteristic is excellent. In addition, zero current and system stabilization can be achieved by realizing zero current when blocking CTTS with instantaneous reactive power control. Simulation was carried out to verify the validity of the proposed method, and the 500[kVA] system was fabricated and verified to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.

A single active capacitor snubber-assisted soft-switching sinewave pulse modulation utility-interactive power conditioner with a three-winding flyback high frequency transformer link and a bidirectional active power switch in its secondary side has been proposed. With the aid of the switched-capacitor quasi-resonant snubber cell, the high frequency switching devices in the primary side of the proposed DC-to-AC sinewave power inverter can be turned-off with ZVS commutation. In addition to this, the proposed power conditioner in the DCM can effectively take the advantages of ZCS turn-on commutation. Its output port is connected directly to the utility AC power source grid. At the end, the prototype of the proposed HF-UPC is built and tested in experiment. Its power conversion conditioning and processing circuit with a high frequency flyback transformer link is verified and the output sinewave current is qualified in accordance with the power quality guidelines of the utility AC interactive power systems.

스위치드 리럭턴스 모터(Switched Relutance Motor : 이하 SRM)는 이중 돌극형으로 되어있으며, 상권선은 고정자만 사용한다. 다른 어느 전동기보다도 간단한 구조를 가지고 있어 제작단가가 저렴하고, 기계적으로 견고하며, 고온 등의 열악한 환경에서도 신뢰성이 높으며, 브러쉬 등이 없어 유지비가 거의 들지 않는 장점을 지니고 있다. 그러나 SRM은 상여자를 위하여 회전자의 위치정보를 알아야하므로 위치 검출기가 필요하고, 정속도 운전을 위하여 타코 발전기나 엔코더가 부가적으로 필요하다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 회전자의 속도측정을 얻기 위하여 고가의 엔코더를 사용하지 않고, 단지 간단한 슬롯 디스크로부터 위치를 검출하여 속도를 추정할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제시하고 개발하였다. 속도 추정 알고리즘을 적용한 가변속 디지털 제어시스템을 구현하기 위하여 TI사의 TMS320F240-20MIPS 고정 소수점 연산용 프로세서를 사용하였다. 개발한 시스템을 실험한 결과 넓은 범위에 걸쳐 속도제어가 가능하였고, 단일 펄스모드, 하드 쵸핑모드 및 소프트 쵸핑모드 뿐만 아니라, 전류제어 동작모드에서 가변속 제어가 가능하였다. 그리고 어드밴스각 제어가 가능하였다.
