In this paper, a novel Active Voltage Quality Regulator (AVQR) topology with a thyristor rectifier and an adaptive dclink voltage control strategy are proposed. The proposed AVQR can efficiently mitigate the long duration variations (e.g. undervoltages/overvoltages), voltage imbalances and voltage harmonics. Compared with conventional AVQRs, it can regulate the load voltage very well with a much lower dc-link voltage. This is accomplished by replacing the diode rectifier with a thyristor rectifier. Moreover, its dc-link voltage can vary with the deviations of the supply voltage through the proposed adaptive dc-link voltage control strategy. All of these contribute to its significantly higher efficiency for online operating, which is very important and attractive for many applications. The proposed topology and control strategy are theoretically analyzed in detail. Simulation results are also provided in the paper. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by means of experimental results from a 2kVA prototype. Both of the simulation and experimental results show that the proposed AVQR can achieve a much higher efficiency and similar regulation performance when compared with the conventional ones.

In this paper, the design of high current and high performance Regulatior IC using BCD Technology are presented. We design the 5A class regulator IC including the VDMOS Pass Tr. of N-sink array structure. Also, to obtain the high current and low power characteristics, the PMOS and BJT device are adapted for the Pass Tr. It is shown that simulation results of Regulator IC with VDMOS Pass Tr. have the Iout=4.5092A, LDO=7.3mV.

This paper presents a power supply system with pre-regulator using zero voltage switching (ZVS) interleaving two-transistor forward converter for high input voltage and high power application. A SMPS has a advantage that a good efficiency, small size and light weight but has a noise problem. A linear power supply system has a advantage that a good stability, low ripple and noise but has a disadvantage that a big size, low efficiency and heat problem. To alleviate these problems, we propose an power supply system using dual ZVS interleaving two-transistor forward pre-regulator. The proposed converter is verified on a 1kW, 50kHz experimental prototype.

This paper presents a multi-channel light-emitting diode (LED) driver IC with a current-mode current regulator. The proposed current regulator replaces resistors for current sensing with a sequentially controlled single current sensor and a single regulation loop for sensing and regulating all LED channel currents. This minimizes the current mismatch among the LED channels and increases voltage headroom or, equivalently, power efficiency. The proposed LED driver IC was fabricated in a $0.35-{\mu}m$ BCD 60-V high voltage process, and the chip area is $1.06mm^2$. The measured maximum power efficiency is 93.4 % from a 12-V input, and the inter-channel current error is smaller than as low as ${\pm}1.3%$ in overall operating region.

A new single phase power factor correction rectifier/regulator with dc linked energy feedback circuit is proposed, which is capable of achieving the zero voltage switching (ZVS) of a boost rectifier stage without any auxiliary switch. The performance of the proposed rectifier/regulator is demonstrated through a 200W, 90 KHz prototype. This proposed rectifier/regulator with dc linked energy feedback circuit is particularly suited for distributed power system applications

In a full digital implementation of a current regulator, the voltage output is inevitably delayed due to arithmetic calculation and PWM. In case of the synchronous frame current regulator, the time delay is accompanied by the rotation of frame. In some applications in which the ratio of sampling frequency to output frequency is not high enough, such as high power drive or super high-speed drive, it is known that the effect of rotation of frame during the delay time causes phase and magnitude error in the voltage output. The error degrades the dynamic performance and can bring about the instability of current regulator at high speed. It is also intuitively known that advancing the phase of voltage output can mitigate the instability. In this paper, the instability problems are studied analytically and a compensation method for the error has been proposed. By means of computer simulation and complex root locus analysis, comparative study with conventional methods is carried out and the effectiveness of proposed method is verified.

본 논문에서는 수용가의 에너지 절감과 최대수요전력 제어를 위하여 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 자동 전압 조정기(AVR)를 제안한다. 제안한 자동 전압 조정기(HS-AVR : Hybrid Switching Automatic Voltage Regulator)는 토로이달 코어에 1개의 직렬 권선과 분리된 4개의 분로 권선으로 구성되어 있는 단권변압기를 사용한다. 변압기의 전압 조정은 직렬 권선과 분로 권선의 연결 방법에 따라 감압/승압이 가능하다. 스위치는 릴레이와 트라이악을 병행하여 사용한다. 스위치의 조작 시 발생하는 권선의 여자돌입전류를 제어하기 위하여 트라이악을 이용하여 연결 상태를 변경하고, 연결 상태 유지 시에는 릴레이를 이용함으로써 스위치 소비 전력을 최소화 한다. 제어 신호는 여자 돌입 전류를 줄이기 위하여 전압 파형에 동기화 하여 제어되며 이를 위하여 소프트웨어 PLL을 사용한다. 소프트웨어 PLL은 전압 파형의 제로크로스, 전압 최고점 등의 동기화에 사용함으로써 스위치와 시스템을 최소화한다. 기존 전압 조절 스위치나 자동 전압 조정기 구조는 여자 돌입 전류로 인한 스위치 접점 손상을 막기 위하여 최대전류를 수용할 수있는 용량으로 구성함으로써 장치 크기가 매우 커지는 문제점이 있었다. 본 논문은 이런 문제를 해결하여 자동 전압 조정기의 크기를 줄이고 효율을 높이는 방법을 제안하였다.

A novel neuro controller based simple neuro-structure with modified error function is introduced in this paper. This controller consists of two independent controllers, known as the voltage regulator and the angular controller. The voltage regulator is used to modify terminal voltage for the purpose of tracking a reference voltage. The angular controller is utilized to guarantee the stability of the system. In this structure each neuron uses a linear hard limit activation function that depends on the controlled variable and its derivatives. There is no need for parameter identification or any off-line training data. Two proposed controllers are merged by a smooth switch to build a complete controller. The effectiveness of the proposed novel control action is demonstrated through some computer simulations on a Single-Machine Infinite-Bus (SMIB) power system.
