An integrated zero current switching(ZCS) quasi-resonant converter(QRC) for power factor correction and high efficiency with single switch is proposed in this thesis. Boost integrated circuit operating discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) and QRC are used for power factor correction and reducing switching loss, respectively. A prototype converter has been designed and experimented. At rated condition, the THD in the input current waveform of this prototype has approximately 18%. The efficiency is obtained about 70%, the power factor is about 0.985 as well. Therefore, the proposed converter is suitable for a low power level converter with operating switching frequency above several hundred KHz.

Arc lamps are now widely utilized as illumination sources for a large number of investigations in wide-field fluorescence microscopy. Among many power converters for the lamp, the PSFB (Phase-Shift Full-Bridge) converter with the ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) is the most widely used soft switched circuit in high-power applications. Also, in the most luminaries, the power factor has to be more and more important. Thus, the power factor correction(PFC) must be included in the power system. A new igniter module using the switching power device and the transformer is proposed instead of the conventional igniter using the mechanical contactor. The proposed converter with the high power factor and high efficiency is verified through the experimental works.

In this paper a soft switching ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) power factor converter using active snubbers is designed to improve efficiency and reduce voltage spike and parasitic ringing. The main switch achieves ZVT and the auxiliary switch operates with ZCS. A 2KW soft switching ZVT converter is designed with switching frequency 100kHz, output voltage 400VDC. Then the designed system is realized and experimental results show that the measured efficiency and power factor are over 97.45% and 0.997 respectively with an input current THD less than 3%.

This paper introduces a new soft switched AC-DC boost converter with power factor correction (PFC). In the introduced converter, all devices are turned on and off under soft switching (SS). The main switch is turned on under zero voltage transition (ZVT) and turned off under zero current transition (ZCT). The main diode is turned on under zero voltage switching (ZVS) and turned off under zero current switching (ZCS). Meanwhile, there is not any current or voltage stress on the main devices. Besides, the auxiliary switch is turned on under ZCS and turned off under ZVS. The detailed theoretical analysis of the converter is presented, and also theoretical analysis is verified by a prototype with 100 kHz and 500 W. Also, the proposed converter has 99.8% power factor and 97.5% total efficiency at soft switching operation.

When using a conventional power factor correction circuit, a comparatively huge capacitor is used to boost-up output voltage. It has a large amount of harmonic distortion in the input current waveform. To improve the input current waveform of diode rectifiers, we propose a new operating principle for the power factor correction circuit. Due to the fact that the proposed circuit uses smaller ones and a smaller reactor, the output voltage increases and obtains higher input current waveforms. These are suitable for the harmonics guidelines. The proposed circuit is able to obtain higher power factor and efficiency. Also, it has reduced switching loss and held over-shooting by using an inverter of eliminated dead-time HPWM that has non-linear impedance circuits to make up diodes, capacitance and a reactor. We compared the conventional PWM inverter and proposed HPWM inverters and found that a high input power factor of 97[%] and an efficiency of 98[%] were also obtained.

In this study, a novel single phase soft switched power factor correction (PFC) converter is developed with active snubber cell. The active snubber cell provides boost switch both to turn on with zero voltage transition (ZVT) and to turn off with zero current transition (ZCT). As the switching losses in the proposed converter are too low, L and C size can be reduced by increasing the operating frequency. Also, all the semiconductor devices operate with soft switching. There is no additional voltage stress in the boost switch and diode. The proposed converter has a simple structure, low cost and ease of control as well. It has a simple control loop to achieve near unity power factor with the aid of the UC3854. In this study, detailed steady state analysis of the proposed converter is presented and this theoretical analysis is verified by a prototype of 100 kHz and 500 W converter. The measured power factor and efficiency are 0.99 and 97.9% at full load.

본 연구에서는 지난 2020년 2월에 발사된 정지궤도환경위성탑재체(Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer; GEMS)의 이산화황 산출 현업 알고리즘에서 오프셋 보정 계수 산정 방법이 이산화황 칼럼 농도 산출 결과에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. GEMS의 현업 이산화황 산출 알고리즘은 차등흡수분광법(Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy; DOAS)과 주성분분석방법(Principal component analysis; PCA)이 융합된 하이브리드 알고리즘이다. 하이브리드 알고리즘에서는 차등흡수분광법을 이용하여 스펙트럴 피팅 후 나오는 이산화황 경사층적분농도 값에 나타나는 오존에 의한 흡수 영향을 보정하기 위하여 편차 보정 과정을 필수적으로 거치게 되며, 오프셋 보정 계수를 산정하는 조건에 따라 이산화황 칼럼농도 산출결과가 달라질 수 있기 때문에 적절한 오프셋 보정 계수 값의 적용이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 구름 화소가 많이 존재하는 날짜와 적게 존재하는 날짜에 대해 오존 보정 계수를 각각 계산하고, 각각의 오존 보정 계수를 GEMS 현업 이산화황 산출 알고리즘에 적용하여 산출한 이산화황 칼럼농도의 비교를 수행하였다. 구름 화소가 많이 존재하는 날의 GEMS 복사휘도 자료를 이용하여 계산된 오존 보정 계수를 사용한 경우, GEMS 관측 영역의 가장자리에 해당하는 인도 부근에서의 이산화황 칼럼농도의 표준편차가 1.27 DU, 한반도 부근에서 0.58 DU, 주변에 구름 화소가 많았던 홍콩 부근에서 0.77 DU로 나타났다. 한편, 구름 화소가 적은 날의 GEMS 자료를 이용하여 계산된 오존 보정 계수를 사용하였을 경우의 이산화황 칼럼농도의 표준편차는 인도주변에서 0.72 DU, 한반도 주변에서 0.38 DU, 홍콩 부근에서 0.44 DU로 다소 감소하였음을 확인하였으며, 구름 화소가 많은 날의 오존 보정 계수를 사용하여 이산화황을 산출한 경우 대비 비교적 안정적인 산출이 이루어졌음을 확인하였다. 이에 따라, GEMS 이산화황 산출 알고리즘의 불확실성 최소화 및 안정적인 산출을 위해서 적절한 조건에서의 오존 보정 계수 산정이 이루어져야 할 필요가 있다.

Correction Factor Method (CFM) is one of the earliest methods for simulating the actual behavior of structure according to construction sequences and practical implementation steps of the construction process which corrects the results of the conventional analysis just by the application of correction factors. The most important advantages of CFM are the simplicity and time-efficiency of the computations in estimating the final modified forces of the beams. However, considerable inaccuracy in evaluating the internal forces of the other structural members obtained by the moment equilibrium equation in the connection joints is the biggest disadvantage of the method. This paper proposes a novel method to eliminate the aforementioned defect of CFM by using the column shortening correction factors of the CFM to modify the axial stiffness of columns. In this method, the effects of construction sequences are considered by performing a single step analysis which is more time-efficient when compared to the staged analysis especially in tall buildings with higher number of elements. In order to validate the proposed method, three structures with different properties are chosen and their behaviors are investigated by application of all four methods of: conventional one-step analysis, sequential construction analysis (SCA), CFM, and currently proposed method.

Most ships and offshore structures are equipped with a variety of pipes, which inevitably contain curved portions. While it has been a usual practice to conduct bending stress analyses of these curved pipes using the straight-beam theory, this paper adopts two different types of finite elements, straight-beam elements and two-dimensional shell elements, for finite element analyses of a variety of curved pipes. It then compares the analysis results for two different types of elements to determine correction factors, which can be used to transform the bending displacements and bending stresses obtained by straight-beam elements to those obtainable by two-dimensional shell elements. The paper ends with a practical suggestion on how to efficiently use these correction factors to estimate the combined axial and normal stresses in a curved portion of a pipe.
