A novel family of Buck mode three-level direct ac converters with a high frequency link is proposed. These converters can transfer an unsteady high ac voltage with distortion into a regulated sinusoidal voltage with a low THD at the same frequency. The circuit configuration is constituted of a three-level converter, high frequency transformer, cycloconverter, as well as input and output filters. The topological family includes forward, push-pull, half-bridge, and full-bridge modes. In order to achieve a reliable three-level ac-ac conversion, and to overcome the surge voltage and surge current of the cycloconverter, a phase-shifted control strategy is introduced in this paper. A prototype is presented with experimental results to demonstrate that the proposed converters have five advantages including high frequency electrical isolation, lower voltage stress of the power switches, bi-directional power flow, low THD of the output voltage, and a higher input power factor.

A technique to suppress the low frequency ripple voltage of the DC output in three phase buck diode rectifiers is presented in this paper. The proposed pulse frequency modulation methods and duty ratio modulation methods are employed to regulate the output voltage of the buck diode rectifiers and guarantee zero-current -switching(ZCS) of the switch over the wide load range The proposed control methods used in this paper provide generally good performance such as low THD of the input line current and unity power factor. IN addition control methods can be effectively used to suppress the low frequency ripple voltage appeared in the dc output voltage. The harmonic injection technique illustrates its validity and effectiveness through the simulations.

The proposed technical work attempts to compare the two key technologies of power distribution, i.e. direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) in a fiscal manner. The DC versus AC debate has been around since the earliest days of electric power. Here, at least four types of a low voltage DC (LVDC) distribution are examined as an alternative to the existing medium voltage AC (MVAC) distribution with an economic assessment technique for a project investment. Besides, the sensitivity analysis will be incorporated in the overall economic analysis model to cover uncertainties of the input data. A detailed feasibility study indicates that many of the common benefits claimed for an LVDC distribution will continue to grow more profoundly as it is foreseen to arise with the increased integration of renewable energy sources and the proliferation of energy storage associated with the enhanced utilization of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.

본 연구에서는 저내압 반도체 공정으로 제작 가능한 교류 구동 LED 드라이버 IC를 설계하여, 그 성능들에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 교류 220V에서 직접 구동하기 위한 드라이버 IC를 제작하기 위하여 500V 이상의 항복전압을 만족하는 반도체 제조공정이 필요하다. 고내압 반도체 제조공정은 일반적인 저내압 반도체 공정보다 매우 높은 제조비용을 요구한다. 따라서 낮은 내압의 소자를 구현하는 반도체 공정기술로도 제작할 수 있도록 LED 드라이버 IC를 직렬로 설계하였다. 이는 입력전압이 고전압이라도 각 LED 블록마다 전압이 나누어 인가되는 것을 가능하게 한다. LED 조명회로는 220V에서 96%의 역률을 나타내고 있다. pnp 트랜지스터를 이용한 역률 개선 회로에서는 99.7%의 아주 높은 역률을 얻을 수 있으며, 입력전압의 변동과 관계없이 매우 안정된 동작을 보여주었다.

This paper propose a method to identify the motor parameters and improve input voltage error which affect the low speed position error of the back-emf(back electromotive force) based sensorless algorithm and to secure the operation reliability and stability even in the case where the load fluctuation is severe and the start and low speed operation frequently occurs. In the model-based observer used in this paper, stator resistance, inductance, and input voltage are particularly influential factors on low speed performance. Stator resistance can cause resistance value fluctuation which may occur in mass production process, and fluctuation of resistance value due to heat generated during operation. The inductance is influenced by the fluctuation due to the manufacturing dispersion and at a low speed where the change of the current is severe. In order to find stator resistance and inductance which have different initial values and fluctuate during operation and have a large influence on sensorless performance at low speed, they are commonly measured through 2-point calculation method by 2-step align current injection. The effect of voltage error is minimized by offsetting the voltage error. In addition, when the command voltage is used, it is difficult to estimate the back-emf due to the relatively large distortion voltage due to the dead time and the voltage drop of the power device. In this paper, we propose a simple circuit and method to detect the voltage by measuring the PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) pulse width and compensate the voltage drop of the power device with the table, thereby minimizing the position error due to the exact estimation of the back-emf at low speed. The suitability of the proposed algorithm is verified through experiment.

This paper presents a new hybrid control method of asymmetrical/symmetrical half-bridge converter (AHBC/SHBC) with low voltage stress of the diodes. The proposed new control scheme is executed by using feedback of the input voltage and then can decide operation of the converter is divided into two ranges, which are asymmetrical control and symmetrical control, So the proposed control scheme has many advantages such as a low rated voltage of the secondary diodes, and low conduction loss according to the low voltage drop. The proposed control scheme is verified by simulated results.

The traceability maintenance system for the AC voltage and current has been developed at the frequency range of 20 Hz to 100 Hz without using any compensation technique which is used at thermal converter (TC) ac-dc transfer system at low frequencies. The system uses a digital voltmeter (DVM) as a data acquisition system of the input waveform and stored data in memory. The developed algorithm acquires and processes the sampling data to calculate the root mean square (rms) value of the input voltage of DVM which operates at DC 10 V range for better accuracy. The best uncertainty of the AC voltage measurements is $3 {\mu}V/V$ within the frequency range. The best uncertainty of the AC current measurements is better than the $5 {\mu}A/A$ and mainly depend on the current to voltage converter, ac-dc current shunt or Current Transformer (CT), used for the measurement

In this paper, an off-tine UPS with CVT(constant voltage transformer) is designed and the experimental result and problems of the designed UPS is given and discussed. This off-line UPS consists of triple-port CVT and PWM inverter which acts as charger and inverter. It can be evaluated in low price because haying simple structure. It offers high performance because CVT restricts the short current automatically about two or three times of rated current, has nearly unit power factor and constant output voltage to varying input voltage. The weak points of this UPS are that the output voltage waveform is not perfect sinusoidal and has phase difference to input voltage. The experimental result and problems of the designed UPS is given.

Installing surge protection devices for a low-voltage system is important to ensure the survival of electric or electronic devices and systems. If surge protection devices (SPD) are installed without consideration of the concept of lightning protection zones, the equipment to be protected might be damaged despite the correct energy coordination of SPDs. This damage is induced by the reflection phenomena on the cable connecting an external SPD and the load protected. These reflection phenomena depend on the characteristics of the output of the external SPD, the input of the loads, and the cables between the load and the external SPD. Therefore, the SPD has an effective protection distance under the condition of the specific load and the specific voltage protection level of SPD. In this paper, PSCAD/EMTDC software is used to simulate the residual voltage characteristics of SPD Entering the low-voltage device. And by applying a certain voltage level, the effective protection distances of SPD were analyzed according to the each load and length of connecting cable, and the effectiveness of SPD were verified.
