Novel zero-voltage switching(ZVS) dual inductor-fed DC-DC converter integrating a conventional dual inductor-fed boost converter(DIFBC) and a parallel bidirectional boost converter has been proposed. Most of current-fed type boost topologies including dual inductor schemes have crucial defects such as a high voltage spike on the main switch when it comes to turning off, an unattainable soft start-up due to the limited range of duty ratio, above 50%, and considerable switching losses due to the hard switching. By adding two auxiliary switches and an output capacitor on the conventional DIFBC, the proposed circuit can solve mentioned problems and improve the efficiency with simple methods. The operational principle and theoretical analysis of the proposed converter have been included. Experimental results based on a 42V input, 400V/1A output and 50kHz prototype are shown to verify the proposed scheme.

This paper examines the application of high voltage static var compensator(SVC) with cascade multilevel inverter which employs H-bridge inverter(HBI). A new switching scheme is developed for the SVC system. To improve the unbalanced problem of the DC capacitor voltages, the rotated switching scheme of fundamental frequency is newly used. The optimized fundamental switching pattern with low switching frequency is adapted to be suitable for high application. The selective harmonic elimination method(SHEM) allows to keep the total harmonic distortion(THD) low in the output voltage of multilevel inverter. The SVC system is modeled using the d-q transform which calculates the instantaneous reactive power. This model is used to design a controller and analyze the SVC system. Simulated and experimental results are also presented and discussed to validate the proposed schemes.

In this paper, a new control strategy to reduce switching losses in three-phase voltage-source PWM converters is proposed according to Modified-Period-Average-Model (MPAN). The basic concept of this strategy is aimed at calculating the phase control voltages for controlling the source currents to be sinusoidal and in phase with the source voltages, and reducing the number of switching in each period. The phase control voltages of Period-Average-Model(PAM) is obtained according to analyzing the operation of PWM converter. In order to reduce the sensitivity to system parameters in PAM, MPAM is deduced. Then a square wave whose frequency is three times of utility frequency is added to the phase control voltages derived from MPAM. The control strategy reduces the switching losses since there exists about one-third blanking time for every phase in one period. The theoretical derivation and the control strategy are experimentally verified on a 2.5 kW three-phase voltage source converter.

This paper deals with the SCR thyristor switching characteristics of a 3-phase voltage disturbance generator. The series transformers of the generator require bypass SCR thyristors to provide the source voltage to the output terminal in normal operating mode. The SCR thyristor switching characteristics is quite different according to the connection point to the series transformer. The switching characteristics is analysed and verified through simulation results.

This paper is proposed the optimal switching pattern of sleeted harmonic elimination (SHE PWM). It defined harmonic elimination band (HBE) to find the solution of Constant Voltage (CV), and sought all solutions which we are included HEB. Then, it calculated generalised klirr factor (GKF) by this solution and decided optimal switching pattern, used as initial conditions of newton raphson (NR) method to decide switching pattern at variable voltage (W). This strategy is applied to 1HP three phase induction motor. From the result, the validity of theoretical proposition can be verified.

This paper presents a zero voltage and zero current switching (ZVZCS) interleaving two-transistor forward converter for high input voltage and high power application. A phase shift has a disadvantage that a circulating current and RMS current stress, conduction losses of transformer and switching devices increases. Due to this circulating current and RMS current stress, conduction losses of transformer and switching devices increases. To alleviate these problems, we propose an improved interleaving two-transistor forward Zero Voltage and Zero Current Switching (ZVZCS) dc/dc converter using a tapped inductor a snubber capacitor and two snubber diodes attached at the secondary side of transformer. The proposed ZVZCS converter is verified on a 1.8kW, 5kHz experimental prototype.

Memory switching of the amorphous chalcogenide Ge-Te-Si memory devices were observed at various thicknesses and temperatures. For a given thickness, the distribution of threshold voltages shows a strong peaks, which is attributed to the intrinsic switching mechanism. The plot of Vth versus thickness indicates that threshold voltages were lowered and switching fields were raised as thickness was decreased. And threshold voltage sagged as temperature was raised and the fact that threshold voltage can be lowered at the temperature range under Tg was obtained.

This paper presents a Zero-Current Switching(ZCS) two-transformer phase-shift full-bridge(TTFB) converter using voltage ripple. The proposed converter provides Zero-Voltage Switching(2VS) of leading leg switches and ZCS of lagging leg switches using volt-age ripple. Especially, circulating current Is reduced by ZCS operation and there are no additional components required for the soft switching of power switches. Furthermore, in case of light load, ZVS operation of lagging leg can be achieved. The operations, analysis and design consideration of proposed converter are presented. To verify the validity of the proposed converter, experimental results for a flow (205V, 2A) prototype are presented.

In this paper the method to determine tire optimal switching instants in order to reduce the transient surges during switching not relevant to the neutral treatment of shunt reactors is presented. This method consists of the following two steps. First, the instants of the voltage peaks between the contacts of each poles and the voltage magnitude as well as the moments of the current zero crosses were found out analytically. Next, the instants of the contact touches or separations were determined in consideration of the rate of decrease of dielectric strength or a circuit breaker and the variation of the its operating time. The results obtained from the EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program) analysis studies show that the making instants are established at the peak voltage of each three poles for any conditions of a neutral point and the possible upper limited values of inrush currents due to the variation of the mechanical operating time can be estimated.
