  • This paper presents multibit Sigma-Delta ADC using Leslie-Singh Structure to Improve nonlinearity of feedback loop. 4-bit flash ADC for multibit Quantization in Sigma Delta modulator offers the following advantages such as lower quantization noise, more accurate white-noise level and more stability over single quantization. For the feedback paths consisting of DAC, the DAC element should have a high matching requirement in order to maintain the linearity performance which can be obtained by the modulator with a multibit quantizer. Thus a Sigma-Delta ADC usually adds the dynamic element matching digital circuit within feedback loop. It occurs complexity of Sigma-Delta Circuit and increase of power dissipation. In this paper using the Leslie-Singh Structure for improving nonliearity of ADC. This structure operate at low oversampling ratio but is difficult to achieve high resolution. So in this paper propose improving loop filter for single-bit feedback multi-bit quantization Sigma-Delta ADC. It obtained 94.3dB signal to noise ratio over 615kHz bandwidth, and 62mW power dissipation at a sampling frequency of 19.6MHz. This Sigma Delta ADC is fabricated in 0.25um CMOS technology with 2.5V supply voltage.

  • In this paper, interface circuits that are suitable for point-to-point interconnection with an over 1 Gbps data rate per pin are proposed. To achieve a successful data transfer rate of multi-gigabits per-second between two chips with a point-to-point interconnection, the input receiver uses an on-chip parallel terminator of the pass gate style, while the output driver uses the pullup and pulldown transistors of the diode-connected style. In addition, the novel dynamic voltage level converter (DVLC) has solved such problems as the access time increase and valid data window reduction. These schemes were adopted on a 64 Mb DDR SRAM with a 1.5 Gbps data rate per pin and fabricated using a 0.10 ${\mu}m$ dual gate oxide CMOS technology.

  • 최근 발표된 제5차 전력수급계획에 의하면 제주도에 3번째 HVDC 연계선 설치가 계획되고 있다. 이전까지 설치된 2개의 HVDC는 LCC(전류형) HVDC로써 안정적이고 우수한 성능으로 제주지역의 전력 수급에 기여를 했지만 전압 불안정 문제를 초래할 가능성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 3번째 HVDC는 VSC(전압형)으로 설치하는 것을 고려해야 한다. VSC HVDC는 유무효 전력이 동시에 제어가 가능하다는 장점이 있으나 비싼 가격과 높은 변환 손실, 그리고 작은 용량으로 제한적인 용도로만 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 최근 Multi-Level Converter 기술이 적용되면서 이전의 많은 문제들이 해결되었다. 이 논문에서는 VSC HVDC의 최신 동향에 대해서 간략히 소개하고 제주 전력망에 VSC HVDC가 설치되었을 때의 효과에 대해서 논의하고자 한다.

  • This paper introduces a control method for a transformerless MMC-HVDC system. The proposed method can effectively control the grid currents of the MMC-HVDC system under unbalanced grid conditions such as a single line-to-ground fault. The proposed method controls the currents of the positive sequence component and the negative sequence component without separating algorithms. Therefore, complicated calculations for extracting the positive sequence and the negative sequence component are not required. In addition, a control method to regulate a zero sequence component current under unbalanced grid conditions in the transformerless MMC-HVDC system is also proposed. The validity of the proposed method is verified through PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.

  • Generally, It was used to use a unit of a Large regularity in developing Large Capacity Converter System of the electric power. Lager a capacity of a unit of regularity, more expensive cost of it. So, normally, We overcome the limit of a proper form of an electricity semiconductor which be used in application field of Large capacity electricity conversion system through the Composition of Multi-level Circuit or Dual-Mode or parallel switch. but some problem is discussed. Using parallel RC-diode circuit instead of Large Capacity diode, We implemented a circuit that it overcome the limit of a regularity with dealing current distributed by parallel RC-diode circuit.

  • This paper investigates a power supply of medium voltage with enhanced ignition characteristics for plasma torch. Series resonant half-bridge topology is presented to be a suitable ignition circuitry. The ignition circuitry is integrated into the main power conversion system of a multi-phase staggered three-level dc-dc converter with a diode front-end rectifier. The plasma torch rated for 3MW, 2kA and having the physical size of 1m long is selected to be a high enthalpy source in waste disposal system. The steady-state and transient operations of plasma torch are simulated. The parameters of Cassie-Mary arc model are calculated based on 3D magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. Circuit simulation waveform shows that the ripple of arc current can be maintained within ${\pm}10%$ of its rated value under the existence of load disturbance. This power conversion configuration provides high enough ignition voltage around 5KA during ignition phase and high arc stability under the existence of arc disturbance noise resulting in a high-performance plasma torch system.

  • Noise reduction and a simplification of a precision measurement system has been performed by changing analog output mode of a load cell into digital output mode. Usually, analog output signal of a few $\mu V$ from a load cell are amplified by amp and acquired by A/D converter. If the distance from a load cell to a DAS(Data Acquisition System) increases, more noise signals are mixed. So, a microprocessor has been integrated into a load cell so that the amplification and A/D conversion of output signals could be done in close proximity to the lode cell for the reduction in mixing of noise. Obtained data from the load cell like this manner are transferred to a computer with digital values(of TTL level). To simplify the configuration of a multi-channel DAS, RS-485 communication system has used for data transfer.

  • 본 논문은 해상풍력단지와 같은 대용량 신재생에너지를 송전하는데 적합한 전압형 HVDC(High Voltage DC) 중에서, 최근 실용화되어 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는 Modular Multi-level Converter HVDC(MMC HVDC)에 대한 새로운 토폴로지를 제안한 내용이다. 대표적인 MMC HVDC는 독일의 R. Marquardt 교수가 제안한 Half-Bridge 모듈을 적용하여 MMC를 구현하는 방식으로 이는 계통에 DC 지락 사고가 발생할 경우 컨버터를 구성하는 모듈에 큰 고장 전류가 흐르게 되고 결국 모듈의 주요 구성품인 IGBT가 소손 될 수 있는 약점을 지니고 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 각 모듈에 Thyristor를 삽입하거나 새로운 모듈을 적용하는 방식이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 DC 지락 고장시 큰 고장 전류를 차단할 수 있는 새로운 모듈 구성을 제안하였다. 또한 제안된 토폴로지에 대한 기본 동작을 설명하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 방식과 기존의 방식을 비교 분석 하였다.
