In this paper, a DC smoothing filterless soft switching pulse modulated high frequency AC power conversion circuit connected to utility. frequency AC power source is proposed for consumer induction heating hot water producer, steamer and super heated steamer. The operating principle of DC link filterless utility frequency AC-high frequency AC (HF AC) power conversion circuit defined as high frequency cycloinverter is described, which can operate under a principle of ZVS/AVT and power regulation based on alternate asymmetrical PWM in synchronization with the utility frequency single phase AC positive or negative half wave voltage. The dual mode modulation control scheme based on high frequency PWM and commercial frequency AC voltage PDM for the proposed high frequency cycloinverter are discussed to enlarge its soft switching commutation operating range for wide HF AC power regulation. This high frequency cycloinverter is developed for high frequency IH Dual Packs Heater (DPH) type boiler used in consumer and industrial fluid pipeline systems. Based on the experiment and simulation results, this high frequency cycloinverter is proved to be suitable for the consumer use IH-DPH boiler and hot water producers. The cycloinverter power regulation and power conversion efficiency characteristics are evaluated and discussed.

This paper presents a novel soft-switching PWM utility frequency AC to high frequency AC power conversion circuit incorporating boost-half-bridge inverter topology, which is more suitable and acceptable for cost effective consumer induction heating applications. The operating principle and the operation modes are presented using the switching mode and the operating voltage and current waveforms. The performances of this high-frequency inverter using the latest IGBTs are illustrated, which includes high frequency power regulation and actual efficiency characteristics based on zero voltage soft switching (ZVS) operation ranges and the power dissipation as compared with those of the previously developed high-frequency inverter. In addition, a dual mode control scheme of this high frequency inverter based on asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse density modulation (PDM) control scheme is discussed in this paper in order to extend the soft switching operation ranges and to improve the power conversion efficiency at the low power settings. The power converter practical effectiveness is substantially proved based on experimental results from practical design example.

This paper presents a novel type soft switching PWM power frequency AC-AC converter using bidirectional active switches or single phase utility frequency AC-high frequency AC matrix converter. This converter can directly convert utility frequency AC (UFAC, 50Hz/60Hz) power to high frequency AC (HFAC) power ranging more than 20kHz up to 100kHz. A novel soft switching PWM prototype of high frequency multi-resonant PWM controlled UFAC-HFAC matrix converter using antiparallel one-chip reverse blocking IGBTs manufactured by IXYS corp. is based on the soft switching resonance with asymmetrical duty cycle PWM strategy. This single phase UFAC-HFAC matrix converter has some remarkable features as electrolytic capacitor DC busline linkless topology, unity power factor correction and sine-wave line current shaping, simple configuration with minimum circuit components, high efficiency and downsizing. This series load resonant UFAC-HFAC matrix converter, incorporating bidirectional active power switches is developed and implemented for high efficiency consumer induction heated food cooking appliances in home uses and business-uses. Its operating performances as soft switching operating ranges and high frequency effective power regulation characteristics are illustrated and discussed on the basis of simulation and experimental results.

무선 네트워크에서 수율(throughput) 최대화와 에너지 소모 최소화는 상충되는 두 목표이다. 탄력적 트래픽(elastic traffic)을 수신할 때에 사용자의 QoS(Quality-of-Service)는 수율에 의해 결정되므로 이를 최대화하는 것이 중요하다. 뿐만 아니라, 제한된 에너지로 동작하는 단말의 수명을 늘리기 위해서는 에너지 소모를 최소화해야 한다. 본 논문은 수율과 에너지 절약을 동시에 고려하는 에너지 효율적인 휴면 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 탄력적 트래픽을 수신할 때 수율과 에너지 절약 사이에서 적절히 동작하도록 설계되었다. 다양한 모의실험을 통해 기존 방식과 제안한 기법들의 성능을 비교하였는데, 가중 총 전송시간과 이 때 소모되는 에너지의 곱에 반비례하는 효용 측면에서 제안된 기법이 우수한 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

ABS 중합공정 중 잔류 모노머 회수 공정의 유틸리티 사용량 절감을 위한 공정의 개선을 수행하였다. ABS 폴리머 생산 과정 중 잔류 모노머 회수 공정은 제품의 품질 향상을 위해 반드시 필요하다. 잔류 모노머의 회수를 위한 다양한 방식이 있으나, 본 연구에서 대상으로 한 것은 스팀 스트리핑 공정이다. 기존의 스팀 스트리핑은 많은 양의 스팀과 냉각수가 사용되고 있으나, 본 연구를 통해 유틸리티 사용을 절감하는 새로운 방안을 찾고자 하였다. 스트리핑 후 모노머와 함께 배출되는 스팀의 잠열을 진공상태의 수증기로 회수하고, 압축으로 온도를 상승시켜 스트리핑 스팀으로 재사용하도록 함으로써 스팀의 사용을 획기적으로 절감하였다. 또한 모노머 최종 회수 과정에서 발생되는 물을 모노머 응축에 냉각수로 활용함으로써 용수에 대한 사용량도 감소 시킬 수 있었다.

Promoting low carbon transportation adoption is important for energy saving. Some prior studies have discussed on environmental values affect low carbon transportation commuting is inconclusive. This study has constructed the environmental values, utility value, and social influence-based low-carbon transportation adoption model through the theory of the technology acceptance model and VBN model and the IS success model. Through the SEM model and stepwise regression analysis, we have found that environmental values positively affect utility value, and utility value also positively affects the behavior adoption of low carbon transportation. The utility value as mediating effect in the relationship between environmental values and low carbon transportation commuting behavior. Besides, we also have found that social influence positively impacts the behavior adoption of low carbon transportation. It better enhances the level of household residents' environmental values and utility values, and social influence for promoting the adoption of low carbon transportation. This present research provides theoretical guidance and suggestions for promoting the development of low-carbon transportation innovation.

An investigation into power conditioners that interface with photovoltaic array and utilities has been completed. The rating for this investigation is residential system (3-5kW) that interface with a 220V single phase utility connection. As the result of this investigation. a 3kW high frequency PWM IGBT inverter feeding a high frequency isolation transformer with a sinusoidal current wave was selected. The output of the transformer rectified with a diode bridge rectifier four IGBT, used as 60Hz switched, reverse the polarity of the rectified current on every other half cycle of the utility voltage. Even though the high frequency link system used more power semiconductors, a net size, weight, and parts cost saving result compared to the other systems due to elimination of 60Hz transformer.
