This paper presents a control method for reducing the current distortion in an indirect matrix converter (IMC) operating in boost mode under unbalanced input conditions. IMCs operating in boost mode are useful in distributed generation (DG) systems. They are connected with renewable energy systems (RESs) and the grid to transmit the power generated by the RES. However, under unbalanced voltage conditions of the RES, which is connected with the input stage of the IMC operating in boost mode, the input-output currents are distorted. In particular, the output current distortions cause a ripple of the power, which is transferred to the grid. This aggravates the reliability and stability of the DG system. Therefore, in this paper, a control method using positive/negative sequence voltages and currents is proposed for reducing the current distortion of both side in IMCs operating in boost mode. Simulation and experimental results have been presented to validate effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Evaluation of radiating radiofrequency fields from hand-held and body-mounted wireless communication devices to human bodies are conducted by measuring the specific absorption rate (SAR). The uncertainty of system validation and probe calibration in SAR measurement depend on the variation of RF power used for the validation and calibration. RF input power for system validation or probe calibration is controlled manually during the test process of the existing systems in the laboratories. Consequently, a long time is required to reach the stable power needed for testing that will cause less uncertainty. The standard uncertainty due to this power drift is typically 2.89%, which can be obtained by applying IEC 62209 in a normal operating condition. The principle of the Automatic Input Power Level Control System (AIPLC), which controls the equipment by a program that maintains a stable input power level, is suggested in this paper. The power drift is reduced to less than ${\pm}1.16dB$ by AIPLC, which reduces the standard uncertainty of power drift to 0.67%.

본 논문에서는 중 전압 전력선을 이용한 전력선 통신대 LC) 네트워크의 입력임피던스를 계산하였다. 먼저 전송 선로 모델을 이용하여 전력선 통신 네트워크의 입출력 단 모델을 제시하였으며, 여기에 전력선의 방사성 손실, 도체손실, 유전체 손실 등에 의한 감쇠상수를 적용시켜 임피던스를 계산하였다 계산결과 방사성 손실에 의한 강쇠 가 가장 크게 나타났으며, 전력선의 특정임피던스가 매우커서 입력 단에서의 반사가 심하기 때문에 입력임피던스 가 일정한 주기를 가지는 정재파 형태로 나타남을 알 수 있었다 또한 입력임피던스의 주기는 동축선로의 길이에 주로 의존하고, 크기는 주로 전력선의 특성임피던스 및 손실에 의존하였다 실제 측정결과 계산 치와 측정치가 매 우 유사함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 반도체 광 증폭기내에서 상호 이득변조 방식을 이용한 파장변환기의 입력 다이너믹 영역을 넓히기 위한 구조를 제안하였다. 파장변환기에서의 성능의 척도가 되는 파워 패널티에 대한 입력 펌프 및 프로우브 광 세기의 영향을 조사하였으며, 그 결과 프로우브광의 세기가 펌프광의 세기보다 약 3 dB, 낮은 경우에 최적의 BER 성능을 보였다. 이러한 특성을 이용하여 입력 펌프광의 세기를 감지하고 그에 따라 프로우브 광원에 가해지는 바이어스 전류로 프로우브 광의 세기를 제어하는 파장변환기 구조를 제안하였다. 따라서 넓은 입력 다이너믹 영역을 가지는 파장변환기를 구현할 수 있으며, 2.5 Gb/s 광신호에 대해 20 dB 이상의 입력 다이너믹 영역을 얻었다.

호기성 수처리 과정의 폭기에 소요되는 에너지의 이용효율을 높이기 위해서는 물질전달 특성뿐만 아니라 소요동력에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문은 수직 2 상 유동 및 물질전달 특성에 미치는 오리피스 노즐형상과 소요동력의 영향에 대한 실험적 연구를 목적으로 한다. 측정 변수들을 이용하여 유량비, 소요동력, 물질전달 계수 그리고 물질전달 효율을 산출하였다. 소요동력이 커지면 물질전달 계수는 증가하는 반면에 유량비와 물질전달 효율은 감소하였다. 무차원 면적비가 작은 오리피스 노즐의 유량비, 물질전달 계수 및 효율이 높게 나타났다. 물질전달 특성에 미치는 유량비, 소요동력 그리고 프라우드 수의 영향을 평가하기 위한 실험식을 제시하였다.

Input Current Correction of Single-Phase Buck Rectifier is studied in the paper. To sinusoidal waveform the input current with a near-unity power factor over a wide variety of operating conditions, the output capacitor is operated with voltage reversibility for the supply by arranging the auxiliary diode and power switching device. Then the output voltage is superposed on the input voltage during on time duration of power switching devices in order to minimize the input current distortion caused by the small input voltage when changing the polarity. The tested setup, using two insulated-gate bipolar transistors(IGBT) and a microcomputer, is implemented and IGBT are switched with 20[kHz], which is out of the audible band. Moreover, a rigorous state-space analysis is introduced to predict the operation of the rectifier. The simulated results confirm that the input current can be sinusoidal waveform with a near-unity power factor and a satisfactory output voltage regulation can be achieved.

The combination of voltage feedforward and feedback control is a conventional approach for correcting the power factor in single-phase ac-dc boost converters. The feedback duty ratio increases significantly with an increase of the line frequency and input inductance. Therefore, the performance of the conventional approach is highly dependent on the bandwidth of the feedback controller. As a result, the input power quality can be significantly exacerbated due to uncompensated duty ratios if the feedback controller is limited. This paper proposes an input impedance and current feedforward control method to reduce the control portion of the feedback controller. The findings in this paper are 1) the theoretical derivation and analysis of variations of line frequency and input inductance on a power factor correction approach, 2) guaranteed consistent performance in a wide range of conditions, and 3) that a low switching frequency can be utilized by the proposed method. A MATLAB/Simulink model and a 1.2kW dual boost converter are built to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

We demonstrate a simulation of a parallel hybrid fiber amplifier in the C+L-band with a gain controlling technique. A variable optical coupler is used to control the input signal power for both EDFA and RFA branches. The gain spectra of the C+L-band are flattened by optimizing the coupling ratio of the input signal power. In order to enhance the pump conversion efficiency, the EDFA branch was pumped by the residual Raman pump power. A gain bandwidth of 60 nm from 1530 nm to 1590 nm is obtained with large input signal power less than -5 dBm. The gain variation is about 1.06 dB at a small input signal power of -30 dBm, and it is reduced to 0.77 dB at the large input signal power of -5 dBm. The experimental results show close agreement with the simulation results.

This paper proposes a double line voltage synthesis (DLVS) strategy for three-to-five phase direct matrix converters. In the proposed strategy, the input and expected output voltages are divided into 6 segments and 10 segments, respectively. In addition, in order to obtain the maximum voltage transfer ratio (VTR), the input line voltages and "source key" should be selected reasonably according to different combinations of input and output segments. Then, the corresponding duty ratios are calculated to determine the switch sequences in different segment combinations. The output voltages and currents are still sinusoidal and symmetrical with little lower order harmonics under unbalanced or distorted input voltages by using this strategy. In addition, the common mode voltage (CMV) can be suppressed by rearranging some of the switching states. This strategy is analyzed and studied by a simulation model established in MATLAB/Simulink and an experimental platform, which is controlled by a DSP and FPGA. Simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility and validity of the proposed DLVS strategy.

A continuously variable transmission(CVT) mechanism composed of one differential gear unit and one continuously variable unit(CVU) can be classified according to the coupling of CVU and the direction of power flows. The mechanism has many advantages which are the decrease of CVT size, the increase of overall efficiency, the extension of speed ratio range and generation of geared neutral. The CVT mechanism considered here is the input coupled type which combines the functions of a 2K-H I type differential gear unit and a V-belt type CVU. One shaft of the CVU is connected directly to the input shaft and another shaft of it is linked to the differential gear unit. It is shown that some fundamental relations(speed ratios, power flows and efficiencies) for twelve mechanisms previously described are valid by various experimental studies, six of them produce a power circulation and the others produce a power split. Some useful comparisons between theoretical analysis and experimental results are presented. General properties also are discussed, which connect following power flow modes : (a) power circulation mode; (b) power split mode.
