This paper proposes the development of double conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply using 3-Level Converter/TNPC Inverter. The Rectifier of proposed system is operating not only 3-Level boost PFC but also battery discharger. The Inverter is converting DC voltage to AC voltage. And in terms of the efficiency, 3-Level TNPC inverter is improved compared to the origin 2-Level type. To verify the validity of proposed system, experiments were carried out.

본 논문에서는 Cascade Buck-Boost 컨버터를 사용한 모듈 직접형 컨버터 (Module Integrated Converter, MIC)를 이용하여 독립형으로 저전압 배터리를 충전할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하고 이를 검증한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 입력 조건의 변화를 고려하여 MPPT 충전 동작 및 Constant Current (CC) - Constant Voltage (CV) 제어를 수행할 수 있어 배터리를 항상 최대의 전력으로 충전할 수 있게 한다. 제안한 충전 장치는 150W급 PV Module을 사용하여, 98.4%의 고효율 획득 및 알고리즘 성능을 검증한다.

This paper suggested a fuel cell generation system which combined interleaved full-bridge converter with half-bridge inverter. High ratio step-up converter is essential to use the power as general voltage source. Full-bridge converter has high efficiency and can boost the input voltage to high output with transformer. With series connected capacitors, interleaved full-bridge converter and half-bridge inverter are combined. Half-bridge inverter has two fewer switches compared to full-bridge type. Also, switching loss can be reduced. The performance is verified through simulation with 1.5[kW] fuel cell generation system.

A novel mode of parallel operation of 3-phase AC-DC flyback converter for power factor correction along with tight regulation was recently analyzed and presented. The advantage of the proposed converter does not require expensive high voltage and high current devices that are normally needed in popular boost type 3-phase AC-DC flyback converter is provided for control purposes and also experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analysis.

Front end AC to DC converters of the boost type are used in traction applications for generating the DC link for the inverters. A GTO based converter is usually switched with a switching frequency of 300 to 500Hz, resulting in low frequency harmonic problems. In order to avoid this, multiple converters with Phase shifted carrier waveforms are used to suppress the low frequency harmonics. A detailed study of an AC to DC converter, with two converters parallely operated with Phase shifted carrier wave farms is Presented in this paper.

Many new electronic products are required to have a near unity power factor and a distortion free input current waveform. In this paper, a high performance single phase PWM AC/DC converter with input power factor correction is proposed. This proposed control strategy has many advantages which include one semiconduction switch, simplified control circuit, high performance features and continuous input current. The experimental results are included to verify the validity of this approach.

본 논문에서는 다수의 PV-부스트 컨버터를 입력으로 하는 계통연계형 풀브리지 인버터의 DC링크 커패시터간 전압 균등화 방법을 제안한다. 다수의 PV가 입력으로 연결된 인버터의 경우 각 PV의 부분 그늘짐 현상과 같은 조건에 따라서 최대 전력점이 달라질 수 있다. 각각의 PV와 연결된 부스트 컨버터의 출력 은 인버터의 DC링크 커패시터로서 각각이 직렬로 연결되는데 각 전압 분배는 PV의 입력에 따라 결정되게 된다. PV의 발전조건이 바뀌어 부스트 출력전압 편차가 극심해져서 더 이상 부스트 컨버터로서의 역할을 할 수 없는 조건이 갖춰진다면 PV에서의 안정적인 발전을 기대할 수 없을 것이다. 또한 DC링크 커패시터 간 전압의 불균형은 시스템을 설계함에 있어서 소자의 더 넓은 범위에서의 동작조건을 만족시켜야 하기 때문에 효율 면에서 나쁜 영향을 미치게 된다. 시뮬레이션을 통해서 DC링크 커패시터 간 전압 균등화 방법을 검증하였다.

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a lot of efforts have been made in the field of data science to help combat against this disease. Among them, forecasting the number of cases of infection is a crucial problem to predict the development of the pandemic. Many deep learning-based models can be applied to solve this type of time series problem. In this research, we would like to take a step forward to incorporate spatial data (geography) with time series data to forecast the cases of region-level infection simultaneously. Specifically, we model a single spatio-temporal graph, in which nodes represent the geographic regions, spatial edges represent the distance between each pair of regions, and temporal edges indicate the node features through time. We evaluate this approach in COVID-19 in a Korean dataset, and we show a decrease of approximately 10% in both RMSE and MAE, and a significant boost to the training speed compared to the baseline models. Moreover, the training efficiency allows this approach to be extended for a large-scale spatio-temporal dataset.

Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization (O-DNP) has been an efficient method to boost the thermal nuclear polarization in liquids at room temperature. However, O-DNP for a benchtop NMR using a permanent magnet has remained unexplored yet. In this work, we report the development of an O-DNP system adopting a permanent magnet of 1.6 T. Q-band (~43 GHz) high-power amplifier produced 6 W microwave for saturation. Instead of resonator, we used an open-type antenna for the microwave irradiation. For several representative small molecules, we measured the concentration and frequency dependences of the enhancement factor. This work paves the way for the development of a benchtop DNP-NMR system overcoming its disadvantage of low quality signal when using a permanent magnet.

A procedure for the optimal design of high quality rectifiers is introduced in this paper. The procedure is capable of producing different optimal designs for the same rectifier based on the objective performance required from that rectifier. A FORTRAN-based computer system designed to solve large-scale optimization problems was used in this work to obtain the optimal designs. The optimization program uses Wolfe algorithm in conjunction with a quasi-Newton algorithm as well as a projected augmented Lagrangian algorithm to solve the highly nonlinear optimization problem. The paper also introduces a detailed analysis and an application of the procedure on a boost-type zero-current switch (ZCS) single-switch three-phase rectifier introduced recently in the literature. The obtained results are compared with popular simulation packages (i. e. PSPICE and SIMCAD) to support the validity of the proposed concept.
