Booster is used widely as one of the step-up DC/DC power converter in power conversion process for fuel cell power plant which have the electrical characteristic of the high current density and low cell voltage. In view of control system, booster can be unstable when it is operated in broad operation range because the transfer function of booster has zero in right half plane of s-domain. So for reliable operation, controller must make the system stable in whole working range. In this paper, the two control method such as digital PID control and fuzzy control is studied for booster output voltage regulation in fuel cell plant. The design procedure of PID control and fuzzy control is described. And the experiment of designed controller action is performed in various operation points for controller performance test.

KEPCO's high voltage distribution power line laid under the ground near to the J-booster pumping station that supply water for living. Lightening rod equipment does not installed at the J-booster pumping station because KEPCO's over head ground wire for protection functions as a lightening rod equipment. In this study, it is concerned whether KEPCO's over head ground wire for protect the distribution power line affect to the J-booster pumping station which is installed for reduce the damage from the direct and indirect lightening. If KEPCO's protection area does not affect to the J-pumping station, it is plan to examine the construction method of lightening rod protection angle and lightening rod equipment and to suggest the optimum protection plan using the surrounding structure based on the suitability of protection area.

This paper presents an accelerated life test of booster pump for home water purifier. The failure analysis shows that decreased flux due to the plastic deformation of bypass spring adjusting pressure is the predominant failure mechanism. An accelerated life test is designed and implemented to estimate the lifetime of the booster pump. Temperature, water pressure and voltage are selected as accelerating variables through the technical review about failure mechanism. It is assumed that the lifetimes of booster pumps follow lognormal distribution and the combination model of temperature and non-thermal stresses holds. The life-stress relationship, acceleration factor, and $B_{10}$ life at design condition are estimated by analyzing the accelerated life test data.

본 논문에서는 $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용하여 태양 에너지 하베스팅을 위한 에너지 관리 시스템을 설계하였다. 태양 에너지 관리 시스템은 ISC(Integrated Solar Cell), voltage booster, MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracker) control unit으로 구성된다. ISC의 개방전압은 약 0.5V이고, 단락 전류는 약 $15{\mu}A$이다. Voltage booster는 뒷단에 약 1.5V로 승압된 전압을 공급한다. MPPT control unit은 ISC가 MPP점에 도달 하였을 때, load로 전력이 전달될 수 있도록 pMOS 스위치를 동작시킨다. SEMU(Solar Energy Management Unit)의 크기는 패드를 포함하여 $360{\mu}m{\times}490{\mu}m$이다. ISC의 면적은 $500{\mu}m{\times}2000{\mu}m$이다. 제작된 칩을 측정한 결과 설계된 SEMU가 ISC에서 수확된 에너지에 대해 MPPT control 동작을 제대로 수행하는 것을 확인하였다. 측정된 MPP 전압범위는 약 370mV∼420mV이다.

This paper presents development of 6kw ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) boost converter by 4-parallel operation. To realize a high capacity converter with 6 kw, 4-parallel operation of 1.5kW unit module is proposed in this paper. To meet high ratio input to output voltage, isolated type booster converter is designed. To achieve ZVS operation of 4-switches of full bridge and protect a voltage overshoot caused by switch turn-off, simple active-clamp circuit is applied to the primary side. For parallel operation of 4-modules, master-slave control method is proposed to achieve input current sharing of 4-unit converter modules accurately. For performance tests, simulation is carried out. Also, load and experimental tests of the developed booster converter, 230Vdc/6kW, are carried out under various conditions. For field tests, the developed converter is applied for boosting a battery power to high DC_link voltage for a VSI inverter which starts a micro-turbine(MT) installed in vehicle and it's performance is verified through high speed motoring a MT up to tens of thousands of rpm.

A low-noise readout integrated circuit (ROIC) for a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) microphone is presented in this paper. A positive feedback signal amplification technique is applied at the front-end of the ROIC to minimize the effect of the output buffer noise. A feedback scheme in the source follower prevents degradation of the noise performance caused by both the noise of the input reference current and the noise of the power supply. A voltage booster adopts noise filters to cut out the noise of the sensor bias voltage. The prototype ROIC achieves an input referred noise (A-weighted) of -114.2 dBV over an audio bandwidth of 20 Hz to 20 kHz with a $136{\mu}A$ current consumption. The chip is occupied with an active area of $0.35mm^2$ and a chip area of $0.54mm^2$.

The transcranial magnetic stimulation recharges the energy storing condenser, and sends the stored energy in the condenser to the pulse shaping circuit, which then delivers it to the stimulating coil. The previous types of transcranial magnetic stimulation required a booster transformer, secondary rectifier for high voltages and a condenser for smooth type. The energy storing condenser is recharged by switching the high-voltage direct current power. Loss occurs due to the resistance in the recharging circuit, and the single-pulse output energy in the transcranial magnetic stimulation can be changed because the recharging voltage cannot be adjusted. In this study a booster transformer, which decreases the volume and weight, was not used. Instead, a current resonance inverter was applied to cut down the switching loss. A transcranial magnetic stimulation, which can simultaneously alter the recharging voltage and pulse repeats, was used to examine the output characteristics.

This paper presents the 3-phase hybrid series active power filter with dynamic voltage restorer(DVR) which serve as an energy buffer and current harmonics blocking resistor connected to sensitive loads, such as, to compensate voltage dips and current harmonics in power distribution system. The DVR is to inject a dynamically controlled voltage generated by a forced commutated converter in series to the bus voltage by means of a booster transformer. The momentary amplitudes of the three injected phase voltages are controlled such as to eliminate any detrimental effects of a bus fault to the load voltage. The proposed system is able to simultaneously compensate current harmonics, voltage fluctuating and voltage unbalance in power distribution systems. The reference phase angle detected by synchronized with the positive sequence component of the unbalanced source by using symmetrical component transformation. The effectiveness of proposed system is verified by the computer simulation.

해상에서 운영되는 해양 시설물용 파력 발전시스템은 대용량 계통 연계형으로 개발되어 왔다. 그러나 등부표용 파력 발전시스템에는 소용량의 발전시스템이 운영 측면에서 효과적이다. 소형 파력 발전의 경우 단순히 전파 정류하여 축전지에 충전하는 방식(직결 방식)을 주로 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 소형 웰스터빈의 발전 특성을 고려하여 부스터 컨버터 기반의 파력 발전전력제어기를 개발하였다. 직결 방식과 부스터 컨버터 방식의 제어기를 설계하고, 실험을 통하여 그 특성을 비교하였다. 실험 결과 제안하는 제어기가 발전기의 출력전압이 낮은 구간에서 출력특성이 개선되었다.
