In this paper, a CMOS bridge rectifier for HF and microwave RFID systems is presented. The proposed RFID CMOS bridge rectifier is designed with two NMOSs and two PMOSs whose gates are connected to the antenna, and it is operated as a full wave bridge rectifier. The simulation results obtained with SPICE show the well rectified and high enough DC output voltages for the operating frequencies of 13.56 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.45 GHz which are used in various RFID systems. The obtained DC output voltages are sufficiently high for driving the low power microchip in RFID transponder for the frequency range of HF and microwave.

An analysis framework for vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction system under turbulent wind is proposed based on the relevant theory of wind engineering and dynamics. Considering the fluctuating properties of wind field, the stochastic wind velocity time history is simulated by the Auto-Regressive method in terms of power spectral density function of wind field. The bridge is represented by three-dimensional finite element model and the vehicle by a multi-rigid-body system connected by springs and dashpots. The detailed calculation formulas of unsteady aerodynamic forces on bridge and vehicle are derived. In addition, the form selection of wind barriers, which are applied as the windbreak measures of newly-built railways in northwest China, is studied based on the suggested evaluation index, and the suitable values about height and porosity rate of wind barriers are studied. By taking a multi-span simply-supported box-girder bridge as a case study, the dynamic response of the bridge and the running safety indices of the train traveling on the bridge with and without wind barriers are calculated. The limit values of train speed with respect to different wind velocities are proposed according to the allowance values in the design code.

This paper proposes a novel UPQC(unified power quality conditioner) based on H-bridge modules, isolated through single-phase multi-winding transformers. The dynamic performance of proposed system was analyzed by simulation with EMTDC/PSCAD, assuming that the UPQC is connected with the 22.9kV distribution line. The proposed system can be directly connected to the transmission line without series injection transformers. It has flexibility in expanding the operation voltage by increasing the number of H-bridge modules and can compensate reactive power, harmonics, voltage sag and swell, voltage unbalance. The control strategy for the proposing UPQC was derived using the instantaneous power method. The proposing UPQC has the ultimate capability of improving power quality at the point of installation on power distribution systems and can be utilized for the future distribution system.

This paper presents analysis of losses of switching device for full bridge inverter connected to grid. The losses are a dominant factor that judges efficiency of the system. The losses of switching device are divided to switching loss and conduction loss. They are can be estimated by analyzing periodic switching waveforms. The switching loss is generated at the point that turn-on and off. And the conduction loss is generated while the switch is on condition. The estimated losses of switch are compared to simulation result in this paper.

The cascaded H-bridge (CHB) multilevel converter is a promising topology for large-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems. The output voltage over-modulation derived by the inter-module active power imbalance is one of the key issues for CHB PV systems. This paper proposed a dynamic power distribution strategy to eliminate the over-modulation in a CHB PV system by suitably redistributing the reactive power among the inverter modules of the CHB PV system. The proposed strategy can effectively extend the operating region of the CHB PV system with a simple control algorithm and easy implementation. Simulation and experimental results carried out on a seven-level CHB grid-connected PV system are shown to validate the proposed strategy.

This paper presents an interleaved resonant converter to reduce the voltage stress of power MOSFETs and achieve high circuit efficiency. Two half-bridge converters are connected in series at high voltage side to limit MOSFETs at $V_{in}/2$ voltage stress. Flying capacitor is used between two series half-bridge converters to balance two input capacitor voltages in each switching cycle. Variable switching frequency scheme is used to control the output voltage. The resonant circuit is operated at the inductive load. Thus, the input current of the resonant circuit is lagging to the fundamental input voltage. Power MOSFETs can be turn on under zero voltage switching. Two resonant circuits are connected in parallel to reduce the current stress of transformer windings and rectifier diodes at low voltage side. Interleaved pulse-width modulation is adopted to decrease the output ripple current. Finally, experiments are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

The SIT, a Static Induction Transistor, is a semiconductor switch that is also called the power junction field-effect transistor (power JFET). Its characteristics are similar to a MOSFET except that its power level is higher and its maximum frequency of operation is lower. The normal method to protect against internal circuit transients of the form of di/dt or dv/dt is the use of snubber circuits. However, the limits of di/dt and dv/dt are high enough for the SIT that it is possible to operate without snubber circuits. SITs can be connected in parallel in order to cope with higher load currents that the value of an individual device rating. The purpose of this study is to investigate the parallel operation of SITs. In this experiment, we used a half-bridge inverter, the output of inverter is up to almost 1MHz and 2kW. Experimental results show that the operation of parallel connected SITs are facilitated individually good current sharing. The reason is the positive temperature coefficient of resistance of the SIT.

In this paper, a three-phase induction machine-based wind power generation scheme is proposed. This scheme uses a low-cost diode bridge rectifier circuit connected to an induction machine via an ac load voltage regulator (AC-LVR) to regulate dc power transfer. The AC-LVR is used to regulate the DC load voltage of the diode bridge rectifier circuit which is connected to the three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG). The excitation of the three-phase SEIG is supplied by the static VAR compensator (SVC). This simple method for obtaining a full variable-speed wind turbine system by applying a back-to-back power converter to a wound rotor induction generator is useful for wind power generation at widely varying speeds. The dynamic performance responses and the experimental results of connecting a 5kW 220V three-phase SEIG directly to a diode bridge rectifier are presented for various loads. Moreover, the steady-state simulated and experimental results of the PI closed-loop feedback voltage regulation scheme prove the practical effectiveness of these simple methods for use with a wind turbine system.

근래에 스카이브릿지를 활용하여 연결된 고층구조물의 진동제어성능을 개선하고자 하는 연구가 수행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스카이브릿지로 연결되는 두 구조물의 고유진동주기의 차이와 스카이브릿지 설치위치가 진동제어성능에 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석하여 보았다. 이를 위하여 40층과 50층 구조물을 연결된 예제구조물로 선택하였고 두 구조물의 고유진동주기 차이를 1.0배에서 1.5배까지 순차적으로 변경하면서 해석모델을 구성하였다. 각각의 해석 모델에 대하여 KBC2009를 기반으로 생성한 인공지진하중을 입력 하중으로 생성하여 시간이력해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석결과 두 구조물의 고유진동주기차이가 증가할수록, 연결된 층의 높이가 높아질수록 변위 및 속도응답에 대해서 일반적으로 우수한 제어성능을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 가속도응답의 경우에는 이러한 경향과 반대되는 제어성능변화를 나타내었다.

선하역사는 역사 건물의 상부에 위치한 노반구조물을 통하여 열차 운행으로 인한 진동이 직접 역사 구조물로 전달되므로 소음 진동에 취약한 구조이다. 선하역사 내부의 소음은 주로 구조물의 진동으로 인하여 발생하는 고체소음이므로 보다 효율적인 진동 저감 대책의 수립을 위해서는 역사의 구조 형식, 부재 및 재료 등의 구성 요소에 따른 구조적 거동 및 감쇠 특성의 파악이 중요하다. 이 논문에서는 선하역사와 인접 교량과의 접속부의 역학적 특성에 따른 진동 특성 변화에 대한 검토 결과를 제시하였다. 해석 대상 역사는 대천역이며, ABAQUS로 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 접속부 특성은 접속 교량이 있는 경우와 없는 경우, 그리고 있는 경우 라멘식과 받침형식으로 구분하여 검토를 수행하였다.
