This paper proposes a new method for constant control of the output AC voltage of a voltage-fed three phase Z-source inverter (ZSI), in case of Z-network DC voltage variation or heavy change of load. The modulation index for the reference output AC voltage of ZSI can be calculated by the basic definition of ZSI, the input DC voltage and capacitor voltage of Z-network. And, the output AC voltage of ZSI is controlled by the modified space vector modulation (SVM) with the calculated modulation index. By the proposed method, the modulation index of output AC voltage is closely following in the reference modulation index. The validity of the proposed method is verified using PSIM simulation. In case which the input DC voltage of ZSI is heavily changed from 100[V] to 70[V] (or to 150[V]) and in case which load is changed from $30[\Omega]$ to $10[\Omega]$, we confirmed that the output AC voltage of ZSI is constantly controlled by the proposed method because the modulation index of ZSI is also simultaneously changed. Finally, FFT and %THD of the output voltage and current of ZSI by the proposed method are analyzed.

This study proposes a method for improving the overmodulation performance of a three-phase inverter to obtain an enhanced output torque for the AC motors. In the inverter-fed AC motor drives, the output torque of the motor can be enhanced by utilizing the overmodulation region as well as the linear modulation regions of the inverter. The overmodulation method is used for this overmodulation operation of the inverter. However, the voltage gain, the ratio of the output voltage of the inverter to the reference voltage achieved by the conventional overmodulation methods becomes nonlinearly smaller than unity. Therefore, the effect of improving the output torque of the AC motors is insignificant even when the overmodulation region is utilized. In this study, we propose a method that improves the overmodulation performance of the inverter by compensating the limited amount of the reference voltage in the overmodulation operation to enhance the output torque of the AC motors. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through the simulations and experiments with an 800 W permanent magnet synchronous motor.

This paper was studied as the following steps. 1) The relation between the brightness and the AC voltage on the EL cell made from ZnS powder was investigated. 2) The relation among the photocurrent, the applied AC voltage and the illumination on the protoconductive cell which was made of CdS powder, was examined. 3) From the above relations approximate equations were made. Also the theoretical gain equation of the light amplifier was derived. 4) Comparing the theoretical gain value to the experimental gain value of the light amplifier which was composed of EL and PC cells, it was come to the conclusion that the gain equation was correct within 2% errors and was useful to comprehensibility of the light amplifier and to design of it.

In this paper, high-efficiency DC-AC converter is implemented for the wireless power transmission. The DC-AC converter is implemented by combining the oscillator and power amplifier. Because the conversion efficiency of wireless power transmitter is strongly affected by the efficiency of power amplifier, the high-efficiency power amplifier is implemented by using the Class-E amplifier structure. Also, because the output power of oscillator connected to the input stage of power amplifier is low, high-gain two-stages power amplifier using the drive amplifier is implemented to realize the high-output power DC-AC converter. The dual band harmonic suppression filter is implemented to suppress 2nd, 3rd harmonics of 13.56 MHz. The output power and conversion efficiency of DC-AC converter are 40 dBm and 80.2 % at the operation frequency of 13.56 MHz.

In this study, the influence of cement factor on the early strength gain and the other properties of concrete is discussed. According to the result, the setting time is faster in order of alumina cement(AC), high-early-strength cement(HSC) and ordinary Portland cement(OPC), and when OPC are replaced with HSC and AC, the final setting time is faster than when only OPC is used. At 10% replacement of AC, the instant setting happens. As the particle of cement is minute, setting time is shortened. As the properties of hardened concrete, the time when compressive strength of 5㎫, which the form can be removed, is gained is about 18 and 16 hours in the case of OPC and HSC respectively, and in the case of AC, it is about 5 hours. It also shows 16 hours at the replacing ratio of HSC of 50%, and 26 and 72 hours at the replacing ratio of AC of 5 and 10% respectively. And it shows 21, 16 and 12 hours with variation of fineness of cement, so early strength gain is fast with an increase of fineness. The coefficient of correlation between compressive strength and the rebound value is over 0.97, is very favorable. Therefore, if the rebound value of P type Schmidt hammer is more than 25, it is thought that the side forms can be removed.
