기존 위상 변조 PWM 풀 브릿지 컨버터들의 그 단점인 좁은 영전압 스위칭 범위, 큰 순환 전류, 큰 듀티 사이클 손실, 그리고 심각한 이차측 전압 스트레스를 개선 할 수 있는 컨버터를 본 논문에서 발표한다. 제안하고자 하는 컨버터는 일차측에 두 개의 하프 브릿지 인버터들로 구성되어 있으며, 변압기를 통해 이차측에서 직렬로 연결된다. 출력 전압은 두 하프 브릿지의 스위칭 레그들의 위상 변조로 제어 된다. 이차측에는 두 개의 저전류 정격의 다이오드를 추가적으로 갖는다. 이러한 구성으로 넓은 영전압 스위칭 범위를 갖고, 순환 전류 또한 제거된다. 더불어 이차측 전압 스트레스가 낮아지고, 출력 필터 인덕터의 크기 또한 50%이상 작아진다. 실험을 통해 제안한 컨버터의 성능을 검증한 결과 또한 발표한다.

In the conventional boost converter, the actual duty cycle is limited as the output voltage increases due to increased voltage and current stress of the switch and diode and voltage surge caused by diode reverse recovery. In this paper a new non-isolated boost converter suitable for high gain applications is proposed. The proposed converter has voltage gain of around 6 when the duty cycle is 0.5. Since ZVS is achieved under CCM, the proposed converter has wide ZVS range. Also, voltage ratings of switch and diode are the same as one third of output voltage, and ratings of input and output passive components are reduced due to the interleaving. In addition voltage surge caused by diode reverse recovery is negligible due to ZCS turn-off of diodes. Operating principle of the proposed converter is described and validated through theoretical analysis, simulation and experiment.

Diesel engine being used on power tiller has over heating problem while running at the rated power range, The reason for overheating the engine is mainly owing to so small capacity of cooling system. This study was conducted to determine relatively optimum capacity of cooling system for the diesel engine. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. The capacity of cooling system for the diesel engine being used in the rural area was not sufficient to cool the engine at the rated power. 2. It is desirable that the cooling water flow rate was $12{\ell}/min$ if we used supplementary pump for increasing the cooling efficiency. 3. As cooling water was circuited $12{\ell}/min$, highest temperature of cooling water was $91^{\circ}C$. This value is within $88^{\circ}C{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ of SAE Standard criterion.

Due to high power ratings and low conduction loss, the TGBT has become more attractive in switching power supplies. However, its lower turn-on and turn-off characteristics than those of MOSFET cause severe switching loss and s switching frequency limitation. This paper proposes 2.4kW. 48V. high efficiency half-bridge DC-DC converter using p paralleled TGBT-MOSFET switch concept to use the merits of TGBTs and MOSFETs. Tn parallel switches. each of I TGBT and MOSFET plays its part during on-periods and switching instants. The switching loss is analyzed by l linearized modelling and the operation of the converter are investigated by simulation results.

A simple AC complex circuit analysis for LCL type series resonant converter with phase shift control is proposed. Based on these analyses, a set of characteristic curves which allows a optimal design procedure for this converter is shown, without increasing the volt-ampere rating of tank circuit. Especially, inverter output peak current can be minimized in both full load and partial load conditions. The presented design considerations can make the load range wide from full loads to light loads achieving turn-on with zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation. The simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed design algorithms.

A parallel operation of Uninterruptible Power Supply(UPS) systems is used to increase power capacity of the system or to secure higher reliability at critical loads. In the conventional parallel operation, the load-sharing control to maintain the current balance is the most important, since the load-sharing is very sensitive to discord between components of each module, amplitude/phase difference, line impedance, output LC filter, and so on. To solve these problems various control algorithms are researching. However, these methods cannot apply to the different ratings of UPS. In the case, master and slave control algorithm for parallel operation is adequate. However, if the UPS ratings are different, the value of passive filters L, C is different, and it affects the sharing of current. This paper presents general problems of conventional parallel operation systems, and control strategy for parallel operation with different ratings. The validity of the proposed control strategy is investigated through simulation and experiment in the parallel operation system with two 3-phase UPS systems.

When external force is applied to humanoid robot's head, humanoid robot's neck is rotated to prevent the damage of it. So, robot's neck have to perceive forces (Fx of x-direction, Fy of y-direction and Fz of z-direction) and moments (Mx of x-direction, My of y-direction and Mz of z-direction) using the attached 6-axis force/moment sensor. Thus, in this paper, 6-axis force/moment sensor was developed to sense the forces and moments applied to robot's head. The structure of 6-axis force/moment sensor was modeled newly, and it was designed using FEM software (ANSYS) and manufactured by attaching straingages on the sensing element, finally, the characteristic test of the sensor was carried out. As a result, it is confirmed that interference error is less than 3%. And, it is thought that the sensor can be used to measure the forces and the moments for humanoid robot's head.

휴대용 전자기기들의 소비전력 증가에 따라 2차전지에 비해 에너지 밀도가 높은 연료전지를 이용한 충전기의 필요성이 부각되고 있다. 대다수의 충전기는 On-Grid 방식으로 벅타입 컨버터를 이용한 감압 방식이었으나, 연료전지를 이용할 경우 승압식 컨버터를 통한 배터리의 충전이 요구된다. 또한 배터리는 일반 저항부하와 달리 큰 커패시턴스 성분을 가지고 있기 때문에 컨버터의 출력단에 인덕터가 없는 경우 큰 출력 리플전류를 유도하게 되어 시스템의 효율과 배터리의 수명에 좋지 않은 영향을 끼치게 된다. 또한 이를 해결하기 위해 절연형 감압 컨버터를 사용하는 경우 변압기 사용에 의한 부피 증가와 부가 소자의 사용에 따른 가격 상승을 피하기 어렵다. Cuk 컨버터는 주스위치의 ON/OFF 동작에 관계없이 출력으로 에너지가 항상 전달되며, 이상적으로 리플이 거의 존재하지 않아 충전용으로 적합하다. 또한, 승압 및 감압이 자유롭기 때문에 배터리의 정격전압에 상관없는 범용 충전기의 설계도 가능하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Cuk 컨버터를 이용하여 배터리 충전기를 설계하고, 그의 상태공간 모델링, 주파수 특성 해석 및 제어기 설계에 대해 기술한다. 제안된 제어 방식은 소형 연료전지 스택을 이용하여 실제 배터리를 대상으로 한 정전류 및 정전압 제어를 실행하여 그 성능 및 안정성을 검증한다.

In this investigation, the aerodynamic performance evaluation of a 1MW class blade has been performed with the purpose of the verification of target output and its clear understanding of flow field using CFD commercial code, ANSYS FLUENT. Before making progress of CFD analysis the HERACLES V2.0 software based on blade element momentum theory was applied for confirmation of quick and approximate performance in the preliminary stage. The blade was designed to produce the target output of a 1MW class at a rated wind speed of 12m/s, which consists of five different airfoils such as FFA W-301, DU91-W250, DU93-W-210, NACA 63418 and NACA 63415 from hub to tip. The mechanical power by CFD is approximately 1.195MW, which is converted into the electrical power of 1.075MW if the system loss is considered to be 0.877.
