The values of a linguistic variable are words, phrases, or sentences in a given language. For example, structural damage can be considered as linguistic variable with values such a 'severely damaged', 'moderately damaged', which are meaningful classifications but not clearly defined, This paper is to evaluate reasonably the correction factor of bridge capacity with the aid of fuzzy sets theory. By using the above mentioned fuzzy measure, the concept of fuzzy integral and linear membership function can be defined. It is concluded that the fuzzy sets theory cam be applied to determine reasonably the correction factor of bridge capacity.

In this paper we introduce the IP3003 which provides excellent Power Factor and Total Harmonic Distortion to the power system. It is developed by Interpion Semiconductor co. LTD. However, the efficiency of power factor correction system is very difficult to analyze mathematically. In this paper, we use the numerical simulation methods for analyzing PFC systems.

In this paper, the power factor correction circuit using a parallel drive method is proposed so that the high power inverter air-conditioner with 3[ph] compressor motor may obtain the cost down and the improved performance. The adequate design procedures are presented to reduce the material costs by eliminating the power factor improving LC filter and derating output capacitor and inverter switches. Using the determined components, the prototype circuit with 6[kW] power consumption is built and tested to verify the operation of the proposed circuit.

In recent years, various power factor correction(PFC) circuits for the electronic ballast have been proposed. And these circuits have difference characteristics each other. We have researched several PFC circuits of them. And operational principles and characteristics of PFC circuits are compared by the cost and the electrical performance. Finally, we established the reference for the evaluation of PFC circuits with performance and the price.

Recently, many nations have released standard such as EN61000-3-2 to impose a limit on the harmonic current to prevent distortion of AC line and to save energy. Also, the limit on the harmonic current makes use of a trade barrier. Therefore, Power factor correction must have been suitable for a limit on the harmonic current. This paper presents AC servo motor drive to have merits of high power factor for Desk-Top Robot.

An integrated ZCS quasi-resonant converter(QRC) for the power factor correction with a single switch is presented in this paper. The power factor correction can be achieved by the discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) operation of the input current. The proposed converter gives the good power factor, low line current harmonics, and tight output regulation. The input current waveform of the prototype designed using design equations shows about 15% of total harmonic distortion at rated condition. Also, the efficiency and power factor can be obtained about 86% and 0.985, respectively, at rated condition. The proposed converter is suitable for a low power level converter with a tightly regulated low output voltage and switching frequency of more than several hundreds kHz.

In this study, Standards of Lighting Appliance and Standard of Model Approval and Inspection Technology for EXIT LIGHT are compared so as to analyze stability of a exit light which is fire product. Test items, which are not included in Standard of Model approval and Inspection Technology for EXIT LIGHT, are deduced from aforementioned comparison and analysis. Also the derived test items are experimented with a exit light. For a power factor correction, a power factor correction circuit is designed and power factor, crest factor, asymmetry ratio, luminance variation are analyzed. In order to show the validity of designed circuit, current waveform and voltage waveform are measured.

An interleaved boost converter has many advantages such as current ripple reduction, switching effective double, etc. Due to these advantages, the interleaved boost converter applies to the power factor correction circuit. However, there are almost no analysis results because the input voltage and current are time-varying system in the power factor correction application. Therefore, in this paper, the current ripples of the power factor correction circuit using single-phase boost dc-dc converter and 2-phase interleaved boost dc-dc converter are compared and analyzed in detail. In order to verify the validity, computer simulation and experimental are performed.

This paper proposes a power factor correction circuit with a high efficiency over a wide load range characteristics for a communication power supply. And the characteristic verification is applied to produce a design of prototype. Power factor correction circuit can reduce conduction losses by applying Bridgeless Boost Converter for efficiency. Over a wide load range to maintain the efficient, the control method of a PWM controller is divided by two sections according to the load area. In the low-load region, it was reduced switching losses by applying the critical conduction mode control method. On the other hand, in the heavy-load area, the hysteresis current control method is used to maintain the high efficiency over a wide load range by limiting the peak noise of the inductor.
