The novel integration method with programmable high-pass filter is suggested in order to solve the problem of integration for stator flux estimation in a stator flux oriented direct vector controlled induction motor drive system. The dc offset in a pure integrator is eliminated using high-pass filter with fixed time constant, and then time constant of programmable high-pass filter is controlled with a inverter frequency for integration in a wide frequency range, considering phase lag and attenuation due to both the hardware low-pass filter and high-pass filter. The proposed method is verified with the experimental results implemented by 32-bit DSP.

A low-pass L-C filter has been adopted for conversion of frequency variable 3 phase PWM waveform to a grid power line and it is used for attenuation of harmonics in the VSI PWM Inverter. A optimum design of the L, C parameters was derived. The result of the study show that the inductor L seems to have a certain air gap for linear I-V characteristics and the resonant frequency of the filter must be set below the 5th harmonics of the grid power line. Further, the voltage drop in L must be within a adequate limit compared to grid power voltage.

Many electronic ballasts for low pressure discharge lamps as fluorescent lamps are produced and commercialized. However, the electronic ballasts for high pressure lamps are now in progress to because of poor reliability and high cost of production. To obtain the confidence of electronic ballasts, it is necessary to prolong the life time of output switches. A variable frequency driver for inverter switches that can control the magnitude of output current with temperature of switches was designed and simulated. A conditions for circuit design are 22kHz : standard frequency, $100^{\circ}C$: standard temperature, $I_{peak}$ : 0.76A, and $V_{peak}$ : 184V, respectively. By simulation, as the temperature exceed a standard temperature, the frequency was increased up to 40kHz. However, the current and voltage that flow through switchs were decreased to 0.507A and 121V at $150^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The parallel operation system of multiple uninterruptible power supplies(UPSs) is used to increase power capacity of the system or to secure higher reliability at critical loads. In the parallel operation of the two UPSs, the load-sharing control to maintain the current balance between them is a key technique. Because a UPS has low output impedance and quick response characteristics, in case of an unbalanced load inverter output current changes very rapidly and thereby can instantaneously reach an overload condition. In this study, high precise load-sharing controller is proposed and implemented for the parallel operation system of two UPSs with low impedance characteristics and this controller controls the frequency and the voltage to minimize the active power component and the reactive power component which are gotten from the current difference between two UPSs. And then a good performance of the proposed method is verified by experiments in the parallel operation system with two 40KVA UPSs.

In this paper, we design and fabricate the high-efficiency and low-power switched-capacitor DC-DC converter. This converter consists of internal oscillator, output driver and output switches. The internal oscillator has 100kHz oscillation frequency and the output switches composed of one pMOS transistor and three nMOS transistors. According to the configuration of two external capacitors, the converter has three functions that are the Inverter, Doubler and Divider. The proposed converter is fabricated through the 0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$ 2-poly, 2-metal CMOS process. The simulation and experimental result for fabricated IC show that the proposed converter has the voltage conversion efficiency of 98% and power efficiency more than 95%.

Generally the control method of wire feeding motor in welding machine has been used full-wave phase control method. The fire-angle control generates low frequency speed ripple, and it causes the output current ripple. So it results in the variation of welding condition and low welding performances such as spatter generation and bead state. For the purpose of welding performances improvement by speed controller in wire feeding motor, in this paper the constant speed control method for welding machine is proposed. The proposed system is composed of speed control loop and current control loop. As a result of experiment by using proposed constant wire feed experiment by using proposed constant wire feed speed controller, the output voltage and current waveform and metal transfer are maintained stably. And moreover the number of instantaneous short circuit occurrence is reduced remarkably.

Voltage feed-forward control (VFFC) is widely used in LCL-type grid-tied inverters due to its advantages in terms of disturbance rejection performance and fast dynamic response. However, VFFC may worsen the stability of inverters under weak grid conditions. It is revealed in this paper that a large phase-lag in the low-frequency range is introduced by VFFC, which reduces the phase margin significantly and leads to instability. To address this problem, a novel virtual-impedance-based control, where a phase-lead is introduced into the low-frequency area to compensate for the phase lag caused by VFFC, is proposed to improve system stability. The proposed control is realized with a high-pass filter, without high-order-derivative components. It features easy implementation and good noise immunity. A detailed design procedure for the virtual impedance control is presented. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the control proposed.
