This paper presents the novel low-performance single-phase voltage regulator which has common arm between the AC/DC and DC/AC power converters and adopts appropriate switching strategy, resulting in the reduction of the number of switching devices. Moreover, by introducing the method to replace the method to replace the conventional AC condenser in filter circuit with the new low-cost type using two DC condenser, the whole voltage regulator system can be more compact, simpler and less expensive than conventional ones. The fully digital controller is designed using high speed DSP, and the proposed system is validated through the experimental results.

A DC-DC Converter operates in CCM(Continuous Coundcution Mode), DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode), CRM(Critical Conduction Mode). The CRM is boundary between CCM and DCM. If a DC-DC converter is designed to operate in CRM, its inductor volume can decrease and power loss which caused by switch and diode can decrease. In this paper, the DC-DC converter which operates in CRM is applied to a solar array regulator(SAR) for the satellite. The switching frequency of the CRM boost SAR changes according to input and output condition. The switching frequency limit logic is applied to limit the maximum switching frequency. Meanwhile, the small signal transfer function of the CRM boost SAR is simple, so the controller design is also simple. In this paper, the small signal transfer function from control reference to solar array voltage is induced. And the voltage controller is designed based on the small signal transfer function. Finally, the CRM boost SAR is verified by simulation.

In this paper an optimal LQ controller is designed for the output characteristic improvement of buck-type switching regulators. State-space averaging method is adopted for modelling of switching regulators. The LQ controller is derived via an unified operator form for the application to both continuous-time and discrete-time control systems. Some design parameters of the LQ controller are chosen through a computer simulation and the LQ controller is implemented by analog circuits.

This paper proposes an estimation algorithm for the electrical parameters of synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs) by using a synchronous PI current regulator at standstill. In reality, the electrical parameters are only measured or estimated in limited conditions without fully considering the effects of the switching devices, connecting wires, and magnetic saturation. As a result, the acquired electrical parameters are different from the real parameters of the motor drive system. In this paper, the effects of switching devices, connecting wires, and the magnetic saturation are considered by simultaneously using the short pulse and closed loop equations of resistance and synchronous inductances. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can be easily and safely implemented with a reduced measuring time. In addition, it does not need any external or additional measurement equipment, information on the motor's dimensions, and material characteristics as in the case of FEM. Several experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Power semiconductor devices had been producted with bipolar only processes, but Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS(BCD) processes have been adapted recently to fabricate these devices since most foundry companies have provided BCD processes instead of Bipolar only processes. In this study, Regulator and OP Amp are used as most popular design IPs and BCD processes for the designing are converted from bipolar only processes. Power Switching Sensor(PSS) ICs are designed specifically and fabricated on a silicon chip. The operation results of the packaged chip show the good matching with test results of the simulation.

The bidirectional boost-buck chopper type AC voltage regulator is presented in this paper. The main characteristic of the AC chopper is the fact that it generates an output AC voltage larger or lower than the input AC one, depending of the instantaneous duty-cycle. Boost-buck chopper type AC voltage regulator, derived from the DC chopper modulated method, is a kind of direct AC-AC voltage converter and has many advantages: such as fast response speed, low harmonics and high power factor. It adopts high switching frequency AC chopper technique and can do wide range step less AC voltage regulation.

One of the many problems besetting the converter designer is being able to design a switching power supply that can operate in the range of very wide input voltage. Specially, in an emergency diesel generator system, the AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator) is a regulator which regulates the output voltage of the generator at a nominal constant voltage level. In addition, the AVR must be operated in very wide input voltage. Therefore, a power supply for the AVR must be operated at the very wide input voltage range. In this paper, a quasi-resonant flyback power supply with very wide input voltage range is proposed. Also, the performance of the proposed power supply is demonstrated through experiments.

This paper describes a design method for the buck type switching regulator to improve transient and steady state performances. Necessary design considerations on the power stage are given before designing the controller to obtain better trandient responses with less control effort and a feedforward compensation is also given to effectively improve the steady state performance. In the design of the controller, a PIM (proportional-integral-measurable) control method with optimized constant feedback gains is presented to get better tansient and steady state performances without complicating the implementation of controller. Computer simulations and experimental results are given to show the usefulness of the presented technique.
