Flue gas from fossil fuel combustion is the main source of air pollution. It is recognized that $SO_2$ and $NO_x$, (sum of NO and $NO_2$) react with $H_2O$ and $O_2$ in atmosphere and convert precursors of acid rain. Streamer corona process using pulse power is one of the effective methods to remove these gases from stack. For this, pulse generator with 160 kV of output peak voltage, 0.3 ${\mu}s$ of pulse width and 120Hz of pulse repetition rate is developed. This paper shows the pulse compression characteristics to obtain optimum parameters for basic system design.

In this paper, we studies EMTP analysis and characteristics of critical voltage of pulse corona and load impedance on variable electrode length. To obtain a stable Pulse voltage, we designed a compact pulse generator switched MOSFET and tested their characteristics by adjusting electrode length and pulse repetition. As a result, critical voltage of pulse corona and load impedance on increasing electrode length were decreased. These results indicate we can control critical voltage of pulse corona and suppress arc discharging between two electrodes.

Interpolator is a very important element in NC machines in that it controls tool path and speed. In this paper, studied were extensive interpolation characteristics of reference pulse method among various interpolation and pulse generation methods. Specifically, processing speed and path error of DDA, SPD and SFG methods were compared and analyzed against line, circle and elipse. As a result, in the point of processing speed, SPD method was found to be the best for line interpolation, SFG method for circle and ellipse, and DDA method was found to be the slowest for all paths. In the point of path error, DDA method was found to have the biggest error for all kinds of paths.

Recently, there has been considerable interest in electromagnetic pulse (EMP) source for no lethal directed energy weaponry applications. The compactness of the Marx generator, coupled with its ability to be powered by battery technology, makes it a viable handled impulse source. The marx generator has 2 stages. Each stage was constructed one charging capacitor, two electrodes and one charging resistor. A inductance structure is used in order to improve the switching performances fo the whole generator. The experiments of rise time in pure gas and mixtures of gases were described. The experimental results show that the rise time characteristics of the marx generator can be controlled through varying insulation gas.

This paper presents an interleaving scheme for parallel-connected power systems to reduce the DC-link current ripple. A paralleled generator system generates current ripple by the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of each generator side converter. The current ripple in the DC-link degrades the efficiency of the whole generator system and decreases the lifetime of the DC-link capacitors. To mitigate these issues, the expression of the DC-link current is derived by a double-integral Fourier analysis while considering the modulation schemes. Optimized interleaving angles for the parallel generator system are obtained based on an analysis to minimize the dominant current harmonics component. Finally, the proposed interleaving scheme reduces the RMS value of the DC-link current ripple. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed interleaving scheme.

This paper describes a low-power MPPT interface for DC-type energy harvesting sources. The proposed circuit consists of an MPPT controller, a bias generator, and a voltage detector. The MPPT controller consists of an MPG (MPPT Pulse Generator) with a schmitt trigger, a logic gate operating according to energy type (light, heat), and a sample/hold circuit. The bias generator is designed by employing a beta multiplier structure, and the voltage detector is implemented using a bulk-driven comparator and a two-stage buffer. The proposed circuit is designed with $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The simulation results show that the designed circuit consumes less than 100nA of current at an input voltage of less than 3V and the maximum power efficiency is 99.7%. The chip area of the designed circuit is $1151{\mu}m{\times}940{\mu}m$.

A radial artery pulse wave is measured while pressing an artery with constant force. However, pulse waveform measurements vary depending on pressing force and direction. Accurate pulse waveform measurements are important for analysis. Thus, it is necessary to define the measurement range of the permissible force and direction from which a correct pulse waveform is derived. In this study, pulse waves were generated by a pulse wave generator for accurate control. The pulse waves generated for different angles and pressing forces were analyzed. The augmentation index (AIx), which is the most commonly used index for evaluating vascular stiffness, was analyzed. The AIx was measured within ${\pm}6^{\circ}$ of the vessel direction and within ${\pm}8^{\circ}$ perpendicular to the vessel direction with a force that was 25% or more of the pressing force at which the maximum pressure wave was generated. We identified the applicable pressing force and angle range by analyzing the effect of pressing angle on the pulse wave. The AIx analysis performed using the pulse wave measurement device is reliable and reproducible.

In this study, it is the purpose to study about design and manufacture of a pulse transformer for using in pulse generator and a pulse laser system. In this experiment, a ferite core in transformer instead of air core is used. The performance of the transformer is demonstrated by a voltage pulse waveform according to inductance of primary and secondary in transformer. As a result, the voltage pulse width is increased as increasement of inductance in transformer. And the voltage rate between primary and secondary is almost same with rate of inductance between primary and secondary.

With the increasing demands for clean environment, development of air cleaning systems has been received increasing attention. EP is usually used for air cleaning in the coal power plant. One of the key technology in the EP is high voltage pulse power supply, which affects the performance of the overall system. In this study, high voltage micro pulse power supply for the EP is developed for a 500MW coal power plant. The power supply has a dc source and a pulse one. The ratings of the dc and pulse source are 60kV, 800mA and 70kV, 400mA respectively.
