A extension of the high boost voltage-lift DC-DC converter with large conversion ratio has been proposed in this paper. The proposed extension is combined the switched-inductor cell (SL-cell) and modular voltage cell (MV-cell). The proposed structure can achieve the large voltage conversion without high duty-cycle and the low voltage of the components. Moreover, the PID controller for novel SL-MV voltage-lift DC-DC converter also introduces. This technique a good-performance output voltage can kept constant with an good transient performance when the output load is suddenly changed. In order to prove the theoretical analysis, the experimental setup has been built for the DC load of $150[{\Omega}]$ and $300[{\Omega}]$. In addition, the transient of output voltage has been tested to determine the controller. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis proving the satisfactory converter performance.

This paper describes the rmtion characteristics of a particle in GIS under AC voltage. To measure the motion characteristics of the particle, a model gas chamber and parallel plain electrodes were designed and manufactured lift-off voltages of wire and spherical particles on the electrode were calculated and rreasured, and electric charge was calculated. By using a high speed carrera, the rmtion characteristics of various particles with aw}ied voltages, such as motion pattern, lift-off time, lift-off height, were analyzed 1be lift-off voltages were greatly affected by diarreters of wire and spherical particles. At voltage around lift-off voltage, the stand-up particle in vertical state rmved up and down between electrodes and the height of the lift-off particle was low. At voltage around breakdown voltage, the particle repeated vertical rotation a few times while they were being lifted off, and then, they were floating between the electrodes.trodes.

NDI technique system using AC current is newly developed for inspection of defects. This technique is non-contact measurement system and can be applied for locating and sizing of surface defects in components. In this paper, the technique was applied for evaluating the location and size for 2-dimensional surface cracks and we had investigated the influence of frequency and lift-off. The results show that defects are able to detect with the variety of voltage, and the measuring voltage for the depth of defects are under the influence of the measuring frequency and the lift-off.

In this paper, a new high step up DC/DC converter with a modified super-lift technique is presented. The coupled inductor technique is combined with the super-lift technique to provide a tenfold or more voltage gain with a proper duty cycle and a low turn ratio. Due to a high conversion ratio, the voltage stress on the semiconductor devices is reduced. As a result, low voltage ultra-fast recovery diodes and low on resistance MOSFET can be used, which improves the reverse recovery problems and conduction losses. This converter employs a passive clamp circuit to recycle the energy stored in the leakage inductance. The proposed convertor features a high conversion ratio with a low turn ratio, low voltage stress, low reverse recovery losses, omission of the inrush currents of the switch capacitor loops, high efficiency, small volume and reduced cost. This converter is suitable for renewable energy applications. The operational principle and a steady-state analysis of the proposed converter are presented in details. A 200W, 30V input, 380V output laboratory prototype circuit is implemented to confirm the theoretical analysis.

This paper proposes a new measurement method using virtual power concept to measure the effective value of 3-phase voltage with variable frequency. The conventional effective value measurement method uses a method of integrating data sampled during one or half cycle of the power voltage and averaging it. In this method, since the effective voltage is calculated every cycle, a time delay occurs in the measured effective voltage and it is s a problem to measure the effective value of a device whose frequency varies from time to time, such as a generator. The proposed 3-phase voltage rms measurement method has an advantage that it can measure accurate voltage RMS value regardless of measurement frequency variation. In particular, there is an advantage in that it is possible to measure a 3-phase effective voltage rather than an average value of the effective voltage of each phase in a 3-phase unbalance voltage. In addition, the validity of the proposed method is verified by using the Psim simulation tool and the experimental results are analyzed by applying the proposed measurement algorithm to the actual three phase synchronous generator voltage measurement experiment.

Distributed resources such as renewable energy sources and ESS are connected to the low voltage direct current(LVDC) distribution network through the power conversion system(PCS). Control power is required for the operation of the PCS. In general, controller power is supplied from AC power or DC power through switch mode power supply(SMPS). However, the conventional SMPS has a low input voltage, so development and research on high input voltage self-power suitable for LVDC is insufficient. In this paper, to develop Self-Power that can be used for LVDC, the characteristics of the conventional topology are analyzed, and a series-input single-output flyback converter using a flux-sharing transformer for high voltage is designed. The high input voltage Self-Power was designed in the DCM(discontinuous current mode) to reduce the switching loss and solve the problem of current dissipation. In addition, since it operates even at low input voltage, it can be applied to many applications as well as LVDC. The validity of the proposed high input voltage self-power is verified through experiments.

Negative output elementary super lift Luo converter (NOESLLC), which has the significant advantages including high-voltage transfer gain, high efficiency, high power density, and reduced output voltage/inductor current ripples when compared to the traditional DC-DC converters, is an attractive DC-DC converter for the field of negative DC voltage applications. In this study, in consideration of the voltage across the energy transferring capacitor changing abruptly at the beginning of each switching cycle, the improved averaged model of the NOESLLC operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is established. The improved DC model and transfer functions of the system are derived and analyzed. The current mode control is applied for this NOESLLC. The results from the theoretical calculations, the PSIM simulations and the circuit experiments show that the improved DC model and transfer functions here are more effective than the existed ones of the NOESLLC to describe its real dynamical behaviors.

New nondestructive inspection (NDI) technique to detect the defect in metal was developed in which an electromagnetic field is induced in a metal by AC current flowing in the magnetic coil and the leak magnetic-flux disturbed by defects is measured using a tape-recorder head with air gap. This technique can be applied in evaluating the location and sizing of surface defects in components of the ferromagnetic body by means of the non-contacting measurement. In this paper, we have applied this technique to the evaluation of two-dimensional surface cracks in ferromagnetic metal, and also investigated the influence of the various frequencies and lift-off. Defects were detected with maximum values in the distribution of voltage and it was found that the maximum values tend to increase with the defect depth. Although the maximum values for defects are affected by the frequency and lift-off, the depth of small defects can be estimated from the linear relationship between the depth and voltage rate$(V_0/V_{ave})$.

In this work, the behavior of conducting wire type particles existing inside the cylinder type coaxial electrode has been systematically investigated by charge simulation method and electrostatic force analysis from the view point of the acquired charging before being lifted off into the gap under the high ac voltage. Spheroidal charge are adopted as a image charge for the CSM analysis in order to calculate the acquired charges of the particles which are erected on the surface of the outer electrode. For this purpose, different material of the particle and their lengths and diameters have been considered in view to calculate their lift-off field, acquired charge and to understand their effect on the lift-off voltage. The results imply that the particle lengths and diameter have an different influence on the particle behavior in GIS system.
