In this paper, the characteristics of piezoelectric transformer is studied for driving CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp). In order to investigate the effects of geometrical dimensions, λvibration-mode type piezoelectric transformers with different sizes in the length(l), width$(\omega)$ and thickness(t) are made of ceramics with PZT-PMWS compositions. The increases in temperature and aging effect are also measured in the transformer of PT-3 sample under the condition of operation continuously for 10 hrs. As the results of dimensional effects, the output power and voltage step-up ratio are largely affected by the ratio of length to thickness(l/t) rather than that of length to $width(l/\omega)$. The output power and step-up ratio are increased with increasing l/t. On case of PT-3, the output voltages are 510[Vrms] at 36[Vrms] in input voltage, $100[k\Omega]$ in load resistance. Temperature increases and variation of output voltages are $10[^{\circ}C]$ and less than 5[%], respectively.

본 논문은 드론의 체공시간 증대를 위해 고효율 전력관리 회로 및 시스템을 제안한다. 종래의 드론은 다수개의 직렬 배터리와 낮은 효율의 선형 레귤레이터 사용으로 무겁고 발열이 크며 이로 인한 전력누수 문제가 있었다. 본 논문에서는 3.7V 단일 Li-Po 배터리 셀을 사용할 수 있는 스위칭 방식의 승압형 DC-DC 전력변환 회로에 대한 연구를 다룬다. 본 연구를 통해 시제품 개발 결과 3.7V 입력, 5V 출력의 step-up regulation을 실현하였다. 또한 종래 선형 레귤레이터의 50% 수준이었던 전력효율 대비 최대 91.3% 효율과 $50^{\circ}C$ 이하의 표면온도를 달성하였으며, 0.02V/V 및 0.15V/A의 line/load regulation 성능을 측정으로 검증하였다. 본 연구결과를 통해 3.7V 단일 셀 배터리 사용으로 충방전을 위한 별도의 cell-balancing 회로가 필요하지 않게 되며, 높은 전력관리 효율로 드론의 체공시간을 획기적으로 개선시킬 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

연료전지의 낮고 변동폭이 큰 전압을 안정된 높은 전압으로 승압시키기 위하여 부스트 컨버터가 사용되고 있다. 전기적인 절연이 요구되지 않는 응용에서는 손실, 가격 및 부피 상승의 원인이 되는 고주파 변압기가 없는 무변압기형의 부스트 컨버터가 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 무변압기형 부스트 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안한 컨버터는 $6{\sim}8$배의 실제 사용가능 한 승압비를 가지며 입 출력 전류 리플이 매우 작아 연료전지 응용에 적합하다. 이에 대한 이론적 해석과 시뮬레이션 및 실험파형을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 모듈형 계통연계 태양광 PCS (photovoltaic power conditioning system)를 제안하였다. 능동-클램프 회로와 듀얼 직렬-공진 정류 회로를 이용하여 높은 입출력 전압 비를 효과적으로 구현하고 효율을 높인 승압형 DC-DC 컨버터를 제안하였다. 최대 전력점 추종 특성을 개선한 IncCond (incremental conductance) 방식의 MPPT (maximum power point tracking) 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 이 때 DC 전류 센서를 사용하지 않고 태양전지 모듈 (PV module)의 전류를 예측한다. 선형화 기법을 사용한 출력 전류 제어기로 인버터를 제어하여 단위 역률을 실현하였다. 모든 알고리즘과 제어기를 하나의 마이크로컨트롤러로 구현하고 제안된 DC-DC 컨버터와 제어기의 우수성을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

This paper is given a full detail of mathematical analyses of input current for novel active type power factor correction(PFC) AC-DC converter of step up-down added electric isolation. These are compared with harmonics components of input current for a conventional PFC converter of electric isolation type. The proposed PFC converter is constructed in using a new loss-less snubber circuit to achieve a soft switching of control device. Also the proposed converter for discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) eliminates the complicated circuit control requirement and reduces the size of components. The input current waveform in the proposed converter is got to be a sinusoidal form of discontinuous pulse in proportion to magnitude of ac input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching. Therefore, input power factor is nearly unity and the control method is simple. Particularly, the stored energy of loss-less snubber capacitor is recovered with input side and increases input current from resonant operation. The result is that input power factor of the proposed converter is higher than that of a conventional PFC converter. Some simulative results on computer and experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.

In this paper, we investigated the output power, step-up ratio and efficiency properties of piezoelectric transformer with dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics of manufactured ceramics. The piezoelectric transformers with $2.0$\times$10$\times$48[$mm^3$] size were fabricated and its electrical properties were measured. When output power of 6W was constantly maintained, T2 piezoelectric transformer showed the minimum temperature rise of $9(^{\circ}C)$ at $150(K\Omega)$ load resistance. However, T1 piezoelecric transformer showed the temperature rise of $7.2(^{\circ}C)$ at $200(K\Omega)$ load resistance. The 6[w] CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) was successfully driven by T1 and T2 piezoelectric transformer but, its temperature rise $\Delta$T[$^{\circ}C)$] was generated more than $20(^{\circ}C)$. It is concluded that we have to design the piezoelectric transformers so that its output impedance correspond to the load impeadance, including any stray capacitance.

Motivated by the need fir developing the new method of weed control in place of chemical weedicide, this paper aims at making good use of electricity against environmental pollution. Compared with chemical weedicide, the electric method of weed control is functionally more versatile, effectively more rapid, and lower in terms of cost. In particular, this method will contribute to environmental protection. In detail the electrical weed control system which is the simple circuit for generating the electric current of high voltage is comprised of step-up transformer which rectifies the current and the capacitor which stores the energy. The effectiveness of electrical weed control system is evaluated by germination rate and control of Dgitaria Sangvinalis(Galinsoga ciliate). As a result, the electrical weed control system(high voltage spark discharge) can kill weeds effectively

This paper presents a sliding mode control method for step up DC-DC converter. For high performance control of converter, it requires the robustness between the input current and the output voltage. As a result, in spite of disturbance and parameter uncertainty, the proposed controller has the robustness to control the output voltage.

This paper proposes a linearization technique for the 3 level NPC type inverter, which increases the linear control range of inverter up to the 6-step inverter. The overmodulation range is divided into two modes depending on the modulation index(MI), In mode I, the reference angles are derived from the Fourier series expansion of the reference voltage corresponds to the MI. In mode II, the holding angles are also derived in the same way. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the linear control and the maximized utilization of PWM inverter output voltage.

Rectifiers of power conversion system are widely used condenser at input to be cheap and to be simple construction. But this method is produced harmonics of pulse at peak value of input AC voltage. The main circuit which make input current of a sinusoidal wave and improve power-factor is almost taken step-up converter. This paper is able to obtain high power-factor and efficiency because the input current is made sinusoidal wave in single phase alternating current(AC) source. Also the proposed converter is able to minimize switching loss by ZVCS(zero voltage switching and zero current switching).
