A Boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) Converter employing Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) based Compound Active Clamping (CAC) technique is presented in this paper. An Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) Filer is connected at the line side of the proposed converter to suppress Electro Magnetic Interference. The proposed converter can effectively reduce the losses caused by diode reverse recovery. Both the main switch and the auxiliary switch can achieve soft switching i.e. ZVS under certain condition. The parasitic oscillation caused by the parasitic capacitance of the boost diode is eliminated. The voltage on the main switch, the auxiliary switch and the boost diode are clamped. The principle of operation, design and simulation results are presented here. A prototype of the proposed converter is built and tested for low input voltage i.e. 15V AC supply and the experimental results are obtained. The power factor at the line side of the converter and the converter efficiency are improved using the proposed technique.

In this paper, the RCF method is applied to analyze small signal stability of power systems including thyristor controlled FACTS equipments such as TCSC. The eigenvalue sensitivity analysis algorithm in discrete systems by the RCF method are presented and applied to the power system including TCSC. The RCF analysis method enabled to precisely calculate eigenvalue sensitivity coefficients of dominant oscillation modes after periodic switching operations. These simulation results are very different from those of the conventional continuous system analysis method such as the state space equation method.

This paper describes a new digital control method of 3-phase PWM inverter with LC filter for uninterruptible power supply(UPS). The overall control system is based on the dead beat control, which has the minor loop of current control within the voltage control major loop. In this paper, the full-order disturbance observer is proposed to compensate the disturbances generated due to a sudden change of load currents. The proposed disturbance observer is composed of dead beat observer which estimates state values within a finite time, and cancels the disturbances by adding feedforward compensation loop in the control system. In addition, on order to remove a defect of oscillation generated in output of conventional dead beat controller, a modified dead beat algorithm is proposed in this paper.

This paper introduces wavelets and shows that they may be efficient and useful for the detection of general faults in power system. The wavelet transform of a signal consists in measuring the "similarity" between the signal and a set of translated and scaled versions of a "mother wavelet". The "mother wavelet" is a chosen fast decaying oscillation function. A number of mother wavelet for signal analysis have been proposed and some of them are in use in fault detection. However, the performance of fault detection depend on used mother wavelet. In the present paper a comparative evaluation of different mother wavelets for low impedance fault detection is performed. The discussion is focused in well-known mother wavelet based wavelet transform. Several families of wavelets are used to analyse transient earth fault signals in a 345kV model system as generated by EMTP.

This paper presents a power system stabilizer(PSS) using sliding mode-model following(SM-MF) including closed-loop f:edback(CLF) and compares the SM-MF PSS without CLF with that including CLF. The aim of this SM-MF PSS including CLF is to damp the low-frequency oscillation by using CLF and then is to obtain asymptotic tracking error between the reference model state and the plant state.

A new oscillator configuration is presented and tested for Josephson voltage standard operated at the cryogenic(4.2K) temperature. Features of active devices are investigated in aspects of 1/f noise, output power, and current collapse at low temperature. The output power of oscillator is optimized by a nonlinear design approach called Harmonic Two Signal Method(HTSM). The embedding newworks of the generalized six oscillators with tow loads are derived. A HEMT oscilliator is designed in X-Band for the Josephson voltage standard and tested at room and cryogenic(4.2K) temperatures. Oscillation frequency, output power, C/N ratio, and fequency stability are compared at room and low temperatures.

One of the most critical part for magnetron driving in microwave oven is start-up control. For this, switching frequency of resonant inverter should be carefully controlled in order to supply sufficient power to the filament of the magnetron and to prevent rectifier diode from destruction caused by the excessive voltage across them. This paper proposes a novel start-up control strategy for LLC resonant inverter for microwave oven considering the non-oscillation mode time and the magnetron voltage during the start-up process. The validity of the proposed method is verified through the experiment with 1,200W microwave oven using LLC resonant inverter.

In this paper, a robust H$\infty$ optimal tuning problem of a structure-specified PSS is investigated for power systems with parameter variation and disturbance uncertainties. Genetic algorithm is employed for optimization method of PSS parameters. The objective function of the optimization problem is the H$\infty$-norm of a closed loop system. The constraint of the optimization problem are based on the stability of the controller, limits on the values of the parameters and the desired damping of the dominant oscillation mode. It is shown that the proposed H$\infty$ PSS tuned using genetic algorithm is more robust than conventional PSS.

We compare feedback wavelength-dependent performances of all-optical gain-clamped 980-nm pumped erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. In a 2.5-Gbps 8-channel WDM system, we have measured and compared gain compressions, signal power variations due to cross-saturation, power penalties caused by relaxation oscillations and noise figures for three different feedback wavelengths - 1532, 1543, and 1565 nm.

Two 110-GHz oscillators have been developed in 65-nm CMOS technology. To study the effect of layout on the circuit performance, both oscillators had the same LC cross-coupled topology but different layout schemes of the circuit. The oscillator with the conventional cross-coupled design (OSC1), showed an output power of -3.9 dBm at 111 GHz with a phase noise of -75 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset. On the other hand, OSC2, with a modified cross-coupled line layout, generated an output power of -2.0 dBm at 117 GHz with a phase noise of -77 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset. The result indicates that the optimized layout can improve key oscillator performances such as oscillation frequency and output power.
