  • In this paper, an electronic ballast was developed to control a 250W metal halide lamp. To avoid acoustic resonance phenomenon, we calculated the acoustic resonance band and determined the driving frequency from 70kHz to 100kHz. Due to the switching loss of MOSFET, many problems are caused in the inverter circuit during lamp lighting, so we reduced the loss by connecting the capacitor that minimizes the magnitude of the impulsive voltage. In this paper, the main point of research is to find the methods to operate the lamp on the rated output power. After detecting the current and the voltage of the lamp, we changed the driving frequency by adjusting the DC voltage level of the VCO input.

  • 본 논문에서는 기존 직렬결합 커패시터 입력단을 갖는 7-레벨 인버터에 커패시터 전압균형 제어법을 적용하여 출력 전압의 중간레벨 구간이 제대로 형성되지 않는 문제점을 해결하고자 한다. 기존에 제시된 직렬결합 커패시터 입력단 구성을 갖는 7-레벨 인버터는 2개의 양방향 스위치모듈과 3개의 직렬 연결된 커패시터를 이용한 변형된 Cascaded H-bridge 인버터이다. 기존 논문에서는 입력 전압원으로부터 3개의 직렬 연결된 커패시터의 충전을 통해 레벨을 형성하는 과정에서 커패시터 전압불균형 문제를 해결하지 못하여 결국 출력전압레벨이 7-레벨에서 5-레벨로 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 세 개의 직렬결합된 커패시터중 중앙에 위치한 커패시터의 충 방전량을 조절하여 커패시터 전압불균형 문제를 해결한다. 제어법의 타당성은 PSIM 기반의 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 기존 스위칭 제어법과 비교하여 검증한다.

  • This paper presents control strategies for cascaded H-bridge multilevel active power filters (APFs). A current loop controller is implemented using a proportional-resonant (PR) regulator, which achieves zero steady-state error at target frequencies. The power balancing mechanism for the dc-link capacitor voltages is analyzed and a voltage balancing controller is presented. To mitigate the picket-fence effect of the conventional FFT algorithm under asynchronous sampling conditions, the Hanning Windowed-FFT algorithm is proposed for reference current generation (RCG). This calculates the frequency, amplitude and phase of individual harmonic components accurately and as a result, selective harmonic compensation (SHC) is achieved. Simulation and experimental results are presented, which verify the validity and effectiveness of the devised control algorithms.

  • This paper proposes a design scheme for an LCL-filter used for the three-parallel operation of the power converters in high-capacity wind turbines. The designs of the power devices and grid connected filter are difficult due to the high level voltages and currents in huge-capacity wind turbines. To solve these problem, this paper presents three-parallel operation and LCL-filter design techniques optimized by parallel operation. Furthermore, the design of an inverter side inductance of the LCL-filter is discussed in detail considering the switching modulation method. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the validity of the designed filter and wind turbines.

  • 대용량 분산 발전에 대한 관심이 많아지면서 분산발전원의 효율을 증가시키기 위한 많은 토폴로지들과 제어방식들이 적용되고 있다. 인버터의 효율을 증가시키기 위한 방법으로는 멀티레벨 인버터 토폴로지를 적용하는 방법과 스위칭 손실을 저감 시키기 위한 PWM방식을 쓰는 방법 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티레벨 인버터 중 T-type 인버터의 효율을 개선하기 위한 방법으로 DSVPWMx(DSVPWMP, DSVPWMN, DSVPWMPN0, DSVPWMPN1, DSVPWMPN2, DSVPWMPN3)를 적용하였다. 이를 검증하기 위한 방법으로 Psim Thermal Module을 활용하여 회로를 구성하고 각 PWM방식에서 전압변조비에 따른 THD와 효율을 비교 분석하였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 3-레벨 Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) 인버터의 DC-Link 중성점 전압 리플을 저감하여 인버터 출력 전압의 품질 신뢰성 향상이 가능한 새로운 Discontinuous Pulse Width Modulation (DPWM) 기법을 제안한다. NPC 인버터에서는 두 개의 커패시터로 이루어진 DC-Link 구조로 인해 상, 하단 DC-Link 커패시터 전압 불평형인 상황에서 DC-Link 중 성점 전압 리플이 발생한다. 중성점 전압 리플 발생 시 출력 전압의 품질을 보장할 수 없으며, 민감한 부하에 손상을 입힐 수 있다. 제안한 DPWM 알고리즘은 DC-Link 커패시터 전압을 조정하는 두 개의 오프셋을 사용하여 중성점 전압 리플을 저감한다. 또한, 시뮬레이션을 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증한다.

  • The traditional power control theories for the harmonic reduction methods in multilevel inverters are found to be unreliable under unbalanced load conditions. The unreliability in harmonic mitigation is caused by voltage fluctuations, non-linear loads, the use of power switches, etc. In general, the harmonics are reduced by filters. However, such devices are an expensive way to provide a smooth and fast response to secure power systems during dynamic conditions. Hence, the Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame (DDSRF) theory combined with a State Delay Controller (SDC) is proposed to achieve a harmonic reduction in power systems. The DDSRF produces a sinusoidal harmonic that is the opposite of the load harmonic. Then, it injects this harmonic into power systems, which reduces the effect of harmonics. The SDC is used to reduce the delay between the compensation time for power injection and the generation of a reference signal. The proposed technique has been simulated using MATLAB and its reliability has been verified experimentally under unbalanced conditions.

  • Purpose: The study aims to provide basic data to enhance the health of paramedics responsible for patient transport and treatment by analyzing the exposure level of paramedics to electromagnetic waves generated by electric devices used in ambulances. Methods: The study measured electromagnetic waves in ambulances in N region from July to December 2018. ME3030B produced by German Gigahertz Solutions was used to measure these waves and the maximum value was selected by moving it slowly in various directions. Each measurement part was selected and the mean value was calculated by repeatedly measuring at 10-minute intervals three times in total: $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$, and $3^{rd}$ phase. Results: Among the electrical devices installed in the patient room of the ambulance measured at distances of 1 cm or 30 cm, results showed a high level of electric waves at the inverter ($26.25{\pm}39V/m$) and high level of electromagnetic waves ($564.00{\pm}31.75nT$) at the ozone sterilizer. According to measurements toward the front near the driver's seat, results indicated high levels of electric waves ($3.67{\pm}1.15V/m$) and electromagnetic waves ($450.00{\pm}19.52nT$) at the black box hard drive. Conclusion: Electromagnetic waves within the ambulance were stable and not beyond the range that might impact human health. However, in the case of the black box hard drive ($3.67{\pm}1.15V/m$, $450.00{\pm}19.52nT$) located under the passenger seat, it may have a direct effect on the human body and, thus it is necessary to move it to a storage area further away from the paramedics to minimized the impact.
