A new method for the electrostatic suspension of disk-shaped objects is proposed which is based on a switched-voltage control scheme. It operates according to a relay feedback control and deploys only a single high-voltage power supply capable of delivering a dc voltage of positive and/or negative polarity. In addition to the unique feature that no high-voltage amplifiers are needed, this method provides a remarkable system simplification relative to conventional methods. It is shown that despite the inherent limit cycle property of relay feedback based control, an excellent performance in vibration suppression is attained due to the presence of a relatively large squeeze film damping. In this paper, the functional principle of the switched voltage control scheme, numerical analysis, stator electrode design, and a nonlinear dynamic model of the suspension system are described. Experimental results will be presented for a 4-inch silicon wafer that clearly reveal the capability of the proposed control structure to suspend the wafer stably at an airgap length of 50 .mu.m.

In power system planing and operation, voltage and reactive power control are very important. The voltage deviation and system losses can be reduced through control of reactive power sources. In general, there are several different reactive power sources, we used UPFC and switched shunt capacitor to improve the voltage profile and to reduce system losses in this study. Since there are many switched shunt capacitors in power system, so it is necessary to coordinate these switched shunt capacitors. In this study, Genetic Algorithm(GA) is used to find optimal coordination of UPFC and switched shunt capacitors in a local area of power system. In case study, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in KEPCO's power system. The simulation is performed by PSS/E.

A SRG (Switched Reluctance Generator) has many advantages such as high efficiency, low cost, high-speed capability and robustness compared with other of machine. But the control methods that have been adopted for SRGs are complicated. This paper proposes a simple control method using the PID controller which only controls turn-off angles while keeping turn-on angles of SRG constant. In order to keep the output voltage constant, the turn-off angle for load variations is controlled by using linearity between the generated current and turn-off angle since the reference generated current can be led through the voltage errors between the reference and the actual voltage. The suggested control method enhances the robustness of this system and simplifies the hardware and software by using only the voltage and the speed sensors. The proposed method is verified by experiments.

switched reluctance motors and drives are increasingly used in industrial applications due to their robust mechanical structure, low inertia and reduction in the rotor losses. As the motor speed increase turn on angle must be advanced to build up phase current. When C-dump converter is applied to switched reluctance motor, the capacitance of dump C has to have proper value. In this paper advance angle for a switched reluctance motor and capacitance of dump C are investigated. Then proper advance angle and the capacitance of dump-C are propose for the industrial low voltage SR motor.

This paper proposes an interleaved five-level boost converter based on a switched-capacitor network. The operating principle of the converter under the CCM mode is analyzed. A high voltage gain, low component stress, small input current ripple, and self-balancing function for the capacitor voltages in the switched-capacitor networks are achieved. In addition, a three-loop control strategy including an outer voltage loop, an inner current loop and a voltage-balance loop has been researched to achieve good performances and voltage-balance effect. An experimental study has been done to verify the correctness and feasibility of the proposed converter and control strategy.

This paper proposes a novel control method for a multi-output switched-resonant converter. Output voltage can be regulated against variations in the supply voltage and load by controlling the voltage of the resonant capacitor (pulse amplitude control). Precise control is possible when pulse amplitude control is combined with pulse number control. The converter is analyzed, and design considerations are explained by using examples. Control implementation is described and load regulation and ripples are analyzed by simulation and hardware results. The topology is modified to obtain an additional negative output without any additional hardware other than a diode. The analysis of such a triple output converter with two positive outputs and one negative output is conducted and confirmed. The topology and control scheme are scalable to any number of outputs.

This paper describes the analysis of the operation of the switched snubber in order to depress the surge voltage in the MOS-FET inverter. In this paper, the N-channel MOS-FET which operates faster than the P-channel MOS-FET was used for the inverter circuit. So, the inverter and switched snubber can operate at high-frequency in the order of MHz. The cause of generating the surge voltage in the high frequency inverter has been cleared, and then how to depress the surge voltage using the switched snubber consisting of an N-channel MOS-FET has been given. Furthermore, described is the power loss within the switched snubber which is made of an N-channel MOS-FET. The inverter having the N-channel MOS-FET used as a switched snubber can drive such a low impedance load such as mega-sonic transducer for a mega-sonic studied cleaner sufficiently.

A high step-up dc-dc converter is proposed for photovoltaic power systems in this paper. The proposed converter consists of an input current doubler, a symmetrical switched-capacitor doubler and an active-clamp circuit. The input current doubler minimizes the input current ripple. The symmetrical switched-capacitor doubler is composed of two symmetrical quasi-resonant switched-capacitor circuits, which share the leakage inductance of the transformer as a resonant inductor. The rectifier diodes (switched-capacitor circuit) are turned off at the zero current switching (ZCS) condition, so that the reverse-recovery problem of the diodes is removed. In addition, the symmetrical structure results in an output voltage ripple reduction because the voltage ripples of the charge/pump capacitors cancel each other out. Meanwhile, the voltage stress of the rectifier diodes is clamped at half of the output voltage. In addition, the active-clamp circuit clamps the voltage surges of the switches and recycles the energy of the transformer leakage inductance. Furthermore, pulse-width modulation plus phase angle shift (PPAS) is employed to control the output voltage. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and experimental results obtained from a 400W prototype are presented to validate the performance of the proposed converter.
