In this paper, new high-efficiency zero voltage switching (ZVS) AC-DC boost converter is proposed to achieve power factor correction by simplifing energy recovery circuit. A lot of high power factor correction circuits have been proposed and applied to increase input power factor and efficiency. Most of these circuits may obtain unity power factor and achieve sinusoidal current waveform with zero voltage or/and zero current switching. However, it is difficult for them to obtain low cost, small size, low weight, and low noise. The topology proposed to improve these problems can compact the devices in circuit and can achieve high efficiency ZVS AC-DC boost converter. Simulation and experimental results show that this topology is capable of obtaining high power factor and increasing the efficiency of the system.

A balanced forward-flyback converter for high efficiency and high power factor using a foward and flyback converter topologies is proposed in this paper. The conventional AC/DC flyback converter can achieve a good power factor but it has the high offset current through the transformer magnetizing inductor, which results in a large core loss and low power conversion efficiency. And, the conventional forward converter can achieve the good power conversion efficiency with the aid of the low core loss but the input current dead zone near zero cross AC input voltage deteriorates the power factor. On the other hand, since the proposed converter can operate as the forward and flyback converters during switch turn-on and turn-off periods, respectively, it cannot only perform the power transfer during an entire switching period but also achieve the high power factor due to the flyback operation. Moreover, since the current balanced capacitor can minimize the offset current through the transformer magnetizing inductor regardless of the AC input voltage, the core loss and volume of the transformer can be minimized. Therefore, the proposed converter features a high efficiency and high power factor. To confirm the validity of the proposed converter, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a prototype of 24W LED driver are presented.

In this paper, We investigate the number of 795 transformer in the private electrical facilities and analyze the annual load factor. The results show that the annual load factor of transformer is 20.16% in manufacturing industry, education services(school) is 9.59%, retail and wholesale services is 19.68%, resort and leisure industry is 10.93%, office building is 13.10%, and apartment houses is 14.69%. Education services, resort and leisure industry are being operated with a very low annual load factor. The relatively small capacity of less than 500kVA transformer also been analyzed that is being operated with a low load factor. Therefore, In order to minimize the power loss of the transformer, it is advisable to complement the Transformer Efficiency Management system to be designed the efficiency is good transformer when the load is low. Analysis results will be used as the basis for the provision of transformer efficiency management system and be used High-efficiency transformers promotion system.

This paper studied the cement efficiency factor (k factor) of high calcium Class F fly ash. This k factor represents a unit of fly ash with efficiency equivalent to k unit of cement. The high calcium Class F fly ash was used to replace cement in concrete. The modified Bolomey's law with linear relationship was used for the analysis of the result of compressive strength, cement to water ratio (c/w) and fly ash to water ratio (f/w) by using the multi-linear regression to determine the k factor and other constants in the equations. The results of analysis were compared with the results from other researcher and showed that the k factor of high calcium Class F fly ash depends on the fineness of fly ash, replacement level and curing age. While the amount of CaO content in Class F fly ash not evident. Furthermore, necessary criteria and variables for the determination of the k factor including the use of the k factor in concrete mix design containing fly ash were proposed.

제조업에서 생산설비에 사용되는 중요한 에너지원 중 하나는 전력에너지이며, 에너지 다소비 업종의 생산설비 즉, 플랜트에서는 사용하는 에너지의 절감과 효율 운전은 매우 중요한 관심사항이다. 본 논문에서는 생산 플랜트의 한 공정에서 가장 빈번히 사용되는 유도전동기를 모델로 하여 실제 진단, 계측을 통하여 측정값을 얻고, 기존의 운전 중인 설비들을 고효율 기기로 교체하였을 경우의 경제성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해서 현재 운전 중인 설비와 고효율설비로 교체하였을 경우에 대하여 각각 설비들의 연간 운전비용과 자본회수계수에 의한 연간 투자비용을 계산하였고, 이를 합산한 연간 총 운용비용을 비교하여 고효율설비의 경제적 타당성을 입증하였다.

In the estimation of the aerosol single fiber efficiency using fibrous filters, there is a size range, where the particles penetrate most effectively through the fibrous collectors, and corresponding minimum single fiber efficiency. For small particles in which the diffusion mechanism is dominant, the Cunningham slip correction factor (C_c) affects the single fiber efficiency and the most penetrating particle size (MPPS). Therefore, for accurate estimation, C_c is essential to be considered. However, many previous studies have neglected this factor because of its complexity and the associated difficulty in deriving the appropriate parameterization particularly for the MPPS. In this study, the expression for the MPPS, and the corresponding expression for the minimum single fiber efficiency are analytically derived, and the effects of C_c are determined. In order to accommodate the slip factor for all particle-size ranges, C_c is simplified and modified. Overall, the obtained analytical expression for the MPPS is in a good agreement with the exact solution.

This paper investigates efficiency and power factor of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) using Finite Element Method considered driving circuit. The efficiency and power factor are calculated in Input terminal and Output terminal respectively. When calculating power factor, apparent power is obtained by effective voltage and current because SRM is operated by switching of driving circuit. Efficiency is calculated by mechanical output and active power. Finally, the characteristics of efficiency and power factor in three proposed models are compared due to the switching pattern.

Recently, there have been suggestions that power factor should be considered to increase the efficiency of electric power supply when evaluating the performance of the electric appliances in standby mode and the related studies have been conducted to improve the efficiency standard of standby power. But, they lack the analysis of the standby power characteristics with the changes of power factor. This study is conducted to analyze the standby power characteristics of TV which is a typical home appliance and reaches a conclusion that the apparent power can be a more reasonable index which reflects the efficiency of electric power supply. It is also found that LED TVs show the best performance in standby mode. Moreover, an example to set standby power standards on TVs to be applied in the future is suggested, considering the energy efficiency policies for appliances.

We manufactured photoelectrode of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) by using three methods such as squeeze method, spray method, and combination method (squeeze method first, spray method second). We examined how the morphology of an electrode's surface, the pore between particles, and condensation have an effect on an open-circuit voltage, photocurrent, fill factor, and energy conversion efficiency. Open-circuit voltage of dye-sensitized solar cells manufactured by using three methods is about 0.66V when the photoelectrode of the three DSCs is about $5{\mu}m$ thick. Photocurrent and fill factor and conversion efficiency of DSC manufactured by using squeeze method is 18.5 and 34 and 7.8, respectively. Photocurrent and fill factor and conversion efficiency of DSC manufactured by using spray method is 3.62 and 62 and 2.8, respectively. Photocurrent and fill factor and conversion efficiency of DSC manufactured by using combination method is 10.7 and 46 and 5.9, respectively. In conclusion, we find that the combination method is better than the other two methods in such respects as energy conversion efficiency and fill factor.
