This paper presents a high frequency electronic ballast with high efficiency and high power factor. The proposed ballast have driven by the half bridge inverter which is linked diode rectifier without DC link capacitor. Minimized elements of circuit configurations can make the efficiency of the ballast increase. High input power factor which is up to 0.96 can be achieved and the crest factor of lamp current waveforms is controlled with below 1.75 by using a novel control scheme which has PFM and PWM methods simultaneously. In this paper, the circuit configurations of the proposed ballast and the control schemes are described. The usefulness of the proposed ballast is confirmed with the simulation results.

This paper presents a design techniques for an electronic ballast of HID lamps. An electronic ballast for HID lamps usually employs a high frequency resonant inverter and voltage-to-frequency converter to control the output and a half-bridge and series resonant circuit are chosen for the ballast. In this paper, the new lighting method for the stable ignition regardless of lamp types is designed. And this type of ballast has some useful functions such as surge protection, thermal protection, and dimmable function. Moreover the powerline communication skill is also used to transmit a dimming control signal.

An investigation into power conditioners that interface with photovoltaic array and utilities has been completed. The rating for this investigation is residential system(3-5kW) that interface with a 220V single phase utility connection. As the result of this investigation, a 3kW high frequency PWM IGBT inverter feeding a high frequency isolation transformer with a sinusoidal current wave was selected. The output of the transformer rectified with a diode bridge rectifier four IGBT, used as 60Hz switched, reverse the polarity of the rectified current on every other half cycle of the utility voltage. Even though the high frequency link system used more power semiconductors a net size, weight, and parts cost saying result compared to the other systems due to elimination of 60Hz transformer.

본 논문에서는 Half Bridge Series Resonant Inverter 를 이용한 유도가열 시스템 설계를 하고 제작하여 구현하였다. 이러한 유도가열 시스템의 제작을 위해서는 공진탱크와 매칭 트랜스포머의 설계가 필수적이다. 따라서 이런 설계를 위해 Pspice 를 이용하여 공진탱크의 입력 임피던스 Bode Polt 을 그려 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 탱크회로를 설계 하였다. 매칭 트랜스포머의 설계는 출력 Power 와 1,2 차 회로 조건에 의해 설계 되어졌다. 이렇게 설계한 유도가열 시스템을 Pspice 를 이용해서 Simulation 함으로써 주파수에따른 출력 Power 의 변화를 볼수 있었으며, 유도가열 시스템을 실제 제작하여 구현함으로써 확인하였다.

In this paper, a prototype electronic ballast for 400W MH lamps is designed and implemented. To remove the phenomenon of acoustic resonance in the lamp being operated at high frequency, a spread spectrum method is employed on the ballast. Half-bridge resonant inverter, voltage-controlled-oscillator and PFC are used and the current of lamp is controlled with taking into account the voltage of lamp. The ballast is built with analog OP-amps and MOSFETs. The experimental results show the good performance as PF 0.93, ATHD 0.14, Ballast loss 22W at output 400W.

In the conventional wire feeder drives of welding machine, one thyristor or MOSFET device was used for half-wave phase control circuit and direct EMF measurement was used for sensing the wire feed rate. But the method using one switching device has poor response for sudden disturbance and it has latent speed ripple. It can affect some welding performance such as spatter generation and irregular bead formming. Therefore, the welding performance using full-bridge PWM speed control scheme was compared with conventional driving scheme was compared with conventional driving scheme and experimented in this paper. The results of experiment confirm the posibility of welding performance improvement by proposed constant speed control scheme in wire feeding drive of welding machine.

Recently, a fuel cell with low voltage and high current of electronic output characteristics is remarkable for new generation system. It needs both a dc-dc boost converter and do-ac inverter to be used in domestic power. Therefore, this paper presents do-dc boost converter with ZVS for fuel cell generation system This topology has several advantages, which are ZVS characteristics of all of main and auxiliary switches, reduction of reactor component size because of high frequency switching, and low rated voltage stress of the switches. In this paper, theoretical analysis, operation principle, and design procedures are presented. And simulation results from Pspice are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.

A impedance model simulating the electrical characteristics of the External Electrode fluorescent lamp operated at high frequency is proposed. The model is constructed from a two parameter equation which is derived based on a set of two measurements. This is a readily constructed and computer simulator oriented model which is suitable for a preliminary design of electronic ballasts. Simulated and experimental results are used to verify the analytical discussions, and moreover, an electronic ballast design example using the proposed model is presented to further demonstrate its application.
