Recently, an electric vehicle (EV) has been become a huge issue in the automotive industry. The EV has many electrical units: electric motors, batteries, converters, etc. The DC distribution power system (DPS) is essential for the EV. The DC DPS offers many advantages. However, multiple loads in the DC DPS may affect the severe instability on the DC bus voltage. Therefore, a voltage bus conditioner (VBC) may use the DC DPS. The VBC is used to mitigate the voltage transient on the bus. Thus, a suitable control technique should be selected for the VBC. In this research, Current controller with fixed switching frequency is designed and applied for the VBC. The DC DPS consist of both a resistor load and a boost converter load. The load variations cause the instability of the DC DPS. This instability is mitigated by the VBC. The simulation results by Matlab simulink and experimental results are presented for validating the proposed VBC and designed control technique.

In recent years, multilevel technology has become an effective and practical solution in the field of moderate and high voltage applications. This paper discusses an APF with a three-level NPC inverter. Obviously, the application of such converter to APFs is hindered by the problem of the voltage unbalance of DC capacitors, which leads to system instability. This paper comprehensively analyzes the theoretical limitations of the neutral-point voltage balancing problem for tracking different harmonic currents utilizing current switching functions from the space vector PWM (SVPWM) point of view. The fluctuation of the neutral point caused by the load currents of certain order harmonic frequency is reported and quantified. Furthermore, this paper presents a close-loop digital control algorithm of the DC voltage for this APF. A PI controller regulates the DC voltage in the outer-loop controller. In the current-loop controller, this paper proposes a simple neutral-point voltage control method. The neutral-point voltage imbalance is restrained by selecting small vectors that will move the neutral-point voltage in the direction opposite the direction of the unbalance. The experiment results illustrate that the performance of the proposed approach is satisfactory.

링 발진기를 이용한 온도센서를 공급전압 1.5volts를 사용하여 0.18㎛ CMOS 공정으로 설계하였다. 온도센서는 온도가 변화하더라도 일정한 출력주파수를 가지는 링 발진기와 온도가 증가하면 출력주파수가 감소하는 링 발진기를 이용하여 설계하였다. 온도를 디지털 값으로 변환하기 위해 온도에 무관한 링 발진기의 출력 신호는 카운터의 클럭 신호로 사용하였으며, 온도에 따라 변화하는 링 발진기의 출력신호는 카운터의 인에이블 신호로 사용하였다. 설계된 회로의 HPICE 시뮬레이션 결과 회로의 동작온도가 -20℃에서 70℃까지 변화할 때 온도 에러는 -0.7℃에서 1.0℃ 이내였다.

고속 데이터 전송이 가능한 장점 때문에 OFDM 통신 방식은 4세대 통신 방식으로 주목 받고 있다. OFDM은 이러한 고속 무선 데이터 통신을 구현하기 위해서는 고성능의 FFT(Fast-Fourier-Transform) / IFFT(Inversion FFT) 프로세서를 필요로 한다. 현재 OFDM은 DSP(Digital Signal Processor)로 구현되고 있지만 많은 전력 소모의 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 Current-mode FFT LSI가 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 저전력 OFDM용 IVC(Current to Voltage Converter)를 설계한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 설계된 IVC는 FFT Block의 출력이 $7.35{\mu}A$ 이상일 때 3V 이상의 전압을 출력하고, FFT Block의 출력이 $0.97{\mu}A$ 이하일 때 0.5V 이하의 전압을 출력하였다. 설계된 IVC로 저전력 Current-mode FFT LSI의 동작이 가능하게 되며, 전류모드신호처리는 차세대 무선 통신 시스템의 발전에 기여할 것이다.

In this paper, an auxiliary power supply (APS) for railroad cars is proposed. The APS can reduce the number of devices required to supply power through structural modification and operates at a high switching frequency by application of a SiC device. The voltage stress on the device in the proposed circuit can be reduced to less than half of the input voltage of the system; thus, a device with low breakdown voltage can be designed. By adapting a SiC device instead of an IGBT device, the proposed circuit can reduce switching and conduction losses and operate at a high switching frequency, thereby reducing output voltage and inductor current ripples in the proposed circuit. The theoretical analysis results of the proposed APS are verified with a 40 kW computer-based simulation and a 2 kW experiment.

An approach based on a 2D lumped model is presented to quantify the voltage transfer gain (VTG) in power converter low power planes. The advantage of the modeling approach is the ease with which typical noise reduction devices such as decoupling capacitors or ferrite beads can be integrated into the model. This feature is enforced by a new modular approach based on effective matrix partitioning, which is presented in the paper. This partitioning is used to decouple power plane equations from external device impedance, which avoids the need for rewriting of a whole set of equation at every change. The model is quickly solved in the frequency domain, which is well suited for an automated layout optimization algorithm. Using frequency domain modeling also allows the integration of frequency-dependent devices such inductors and capacitors, which are required for realistic computation results. In order to check the precision of the modeling approach, VTGs for several layout configurations are computed and compared with experimental measurements based on scattering parameters.

고정도 전류-모드 신호 처리를 위한 새로운 바이폴라 트랜스레지스턴스 증폭기(TRA)와 이것의 오프셋 보상된 TRA를 제안하였다. 두 TRA는 전류 입력을 위한 두 개의 전류 폴로워, 전류차를 얻기 위한 전류 가산기, 전류를 전압으로 변환시키기 위한 저항, 그리고 전압 출력을 위한 전압 폴로워로 구성되었다. 오프셋 보상된 TRA는 TRA의 오프셋 전압을 감소시키기 위한 다이오드 결선된 npn과 pnp 트랜지스터를 채용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, TRA근 입-출력 단자에서 0.5 Ω의 임피던스와 40 mV의 오프셋 전압을 갖고 있다는 것이 확인되었다. 오프셋 보상된 TRA는 1.1 mV의 오프셋 전압과 0.25 Ω의 임피던스를 갖고 있다. 두 개의 TRA를 단위-이득의 트랜스레지스턴스를 갖는 전류-전압 변환기로 이용할 때 3-dB 차단 주파수는 40 MHz이다. 제안한 두 TRA의 전력 소비는 11.25 mW이다.

This paper describes a power control scheme to improve the performance of a fuel cell battery hybrid power source for residential application. The proposed power control scheme includes a power control strategy to control the power flow of the fuel cell hybrid power system and a digital control technique for a front-end dc-dc converter of the fuel cell. The power control strategy enables the fuel cell to operate within the high efficiency region defined by the polarization curve and efficiency curve of the fuel cell. A dual boost converter with digital control is applied as a front-end dc-dc converter to control the fuel cell output power. The digital control technique of the converter employs a moving-average digital filter into its voltage feedback loop to cancel the low frequency harmonic current drawn from the fuel cell and then limits the fuel cell output current to a current limit using a predictive current limiter to keep the fuel cell operation within the high efficiency region as well as to minimize the fuel cell oxygen starvation.
