A new DC/DC converter with zero voltage switching is proposed for applications with high input voltage and high load current. The proposed converter has two circuit modules that share load current and power rating. Interleaved pulse-width modulation (PWM) is adopted to generate switch control signals. Thus, ripple currents are reduced at the input and output sides. For high-voltage applications, each circuit module includes two half-bridge legs that are connected in series to reduce switch voltage rating to $V_{in}/2$. These legs are controlled with the use of asymmetric PWM. To reduce the current rating of rectifier diodes and share load current for high-load-current applications, two center-tapped rectifiers are adopted in each circuit module. The primary windings of two transformers are connected in series at the high voltage side to balance output inductor currents. Two series capacitors are adopted at the AC terminals of the two half-bridge legs to balance the two input capacitor voltages. The resonant behavior of the inductance and capacitance at the transition interval enable MOSFETs to be switched on under zero voltage switching. The circuit configuration, system characteristics, and design are discussed in detail. Experiments based on a laboratory prototype are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

This paper proposes a novel switching method of active clamp snubber for efficiency improvement of PV module integrated converter(MIC) system. Recently, MIC solar system is researched about the efficiency and safety. PV MIC system is used active clamp method of snubber circuit for the price and reliability of the system. But active clamp snubber circuit has the disadvantage that system efficiency is decreased for switch operating time because of heat loss of resonant between snubber capacitor and leakage inductance. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a novel switching method of the active clamp. The proposed method is a technique to reduce power consumption by reducing the resonance of the snubber switch operation time and through simulations and experiments proved the validity.

This paper proposes a new NLC (Nearest Level Control) scheme for MMCs (Modular Multilevel Converters), which offers voltage ripple reductions in the DC capacitor of the SM (Sub-Module), the output voltage harmonics, and the switching losses. The feasibility of the proposed NLC was verified through computer simulations. Based on these simulation results, a hardware prototype of a 10kVA, DC-1000V MMC was manufactured in the lab. Experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed NLC in an actual hardware environment. The experimental results were consistent with the results obtained from the computer simulations.

In this paper, we describe several warm standby fault-tolerant models and their operation methods applicable to telephone switching control systems which have dual module structure and need high availability. Unavailabilities of the system implemented by four different methods for each model are computed by using the Markov state model, and then are compared for system performance evaluation. As the results ofsimulations, the warm standby model with triple processors is best in the aspect of data loss, while in most cases the warm standby model with doble processors based on no standby check method provides the highest system avaiability. Periodic changeover increases the system unavailability, but the preriodic standby check on standby module decreases the system unavailability of warm standby model with a single processor and with double processors. On the other hands, the variationas of warm standby model with a single processor and with double processors. On the other hand, the variations of data recovery time and personnel recovery rate have little effect on the system unavailtability.

In this paper, as part of the research for the infrastructure of very high flexible and reconfigurable data center using very high speed crossbar switches, we developed a simulator that can model two and three dimensional connection structure of switches with an efficient control algorithm using software defined network and verified the functions and analyzed the performance accordingly. The simulator consists of a control module and a switch module that was coded using Python language based on the Mininet and Ryu Openflow frameworks. The control module dynamically controls the operation of switching cells using a shortest multipath algorithm to calculate efficient paths adaptively between configurable computing resources. Performance analysis by using the simulator shows that the three-dimensional switch architecture can accommodate more hosts per port and has about 1.5 times more successful 1:n connections per port with the same number of switches than the two-dimensional architecture. Also simulation results show that connection length in a 3-dimensional way is shorter than that of 2-dimensional way and the unused switch ratio in a 3-dimensional case is lower than that of 2-dimensional cases.

Protected Circuit Module protects battery from over-charge and over-discharge, also prevents accidental explosion. Therefore, power MOSFET is essential to operate as a switch within the module. To reduce power loss of MOSFET, the on state voltage drop should be lowered and the switching time should be shorted. However there is trade-off between the breakdown voltage and the on state voltage drop. The TDMOS can reduce the on state voltage drop. In this paper, effect of design parameter variation on electrical properties of TDMOS, were analyzed by computer simulation. According to the analyzed results, the optimization was performed to get 65% higher breakdown voltage and 17.4% on resistance enhancement.

The module UPS can flexibly implement expansion of power system capacities. Furthermore, it can be used to build up the parallel redundant system to improve the reliability of power system operation. To realize the module UPS, load sharing without interconnection among parallel connecting modules as well as a small scale and lightweight topology is necessary. In this paper, the three-arm converter/inverter is compared with the general full-bridge and half-bridge topology from a practical point of view and chosen as the module UPS topology. The switching control approaches based on a pulse width modulation of the converter and inverter of the system are presented independently The frequency and voltage droop method is applied to parallel operation control to achieve load sharing. Two prototype 3kVA modules are designed and implemented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. Experimental results show that the three-arm UPS system has a high power factor, a low distortion of output voltage and input current, and good load sharing characteristic.
