This paper presents a novel version of an active voltage clamped ZVS-PWM high frequency inverter using IGBTs for electromagnetic induction eddy current-based rolling drum heating in new generation copy and printing machines in consumer business use. The operating principle of this inverter circuit and unique features are described herein. Its constant frequency duty cycle (asymmetrical PWM) controlled voltage source quasi-resonant soft switching high frequency inverter employing IGBTs is proposed, which is capable of achieving stable and efficient zero voltage soft switching commutation over a widely specified power regulation range from full power to low power. The operating performances in a steady state of this inverter is discussed and evaluated on basis of simulation and experimental results as an induction heated roller in new generation copy machine.

방송 신호를 수신하여 TV 등의 디스플레이 장치로 전달하는 셋톱박스는 다른 가전과는 다르게 대기모드, 즉 저전력모드가 존재하지 않는다. 이는 기술적 제약과 운용상의 이유로 인한 것이다. 현재 셋톱박스의 전원을 리모컨으로 끄면 방송을 시청하는 온모드 대비 80~90%의 높은 소비전력을 보인다. 이는 1W 미만으로 동작하는 다른 가전에 비해 월등히 높은 것이다. 국내 및 해외 선진국들은 셋톱박스의 에너지 효율을 높이고자 하는 정책을 시행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 셋톱박스의 에너지 효율을 개선하고자 저전력 셋톱박스를 설계하고 진행 중인 개발에 대해 기술한다. 저전력 모드를 지원하는 SoC, 전원 모드를 구분하여 동작하도록 하는 시스템 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어, 그리고 방송사와의 연동을 통한 전원관리를 이루는 미들웨어 등이 핵심 개발 내용이다. 그리고 이를 통해 이룰 수 있는 에너지 소비 절감 효과를 보인다.

This paper deals with a novel solid state controller (NSSC) for an isolated asynchronous generator (IAG) feeding 3-phase 4-wire loads driven by constant power prime movers, such as uncontrolled pico hydro turbines. AC capacitor banks are used to meet the reactive power requirement of the asynchronous generator. The proposed NSSC is realized using a set of IGBTs (Insulated gate bipolar junction transistors) based current controlled 2-leg voltage source converters (CC- VSC) and a DC chopper at its DC bus, which keeps the generated voltage and frequency constant in spite of changes in consumer loads. The neutral point of the load is created using aT-configuration of the transformers. The IAG system is modeled in MATLAB along with Simulink and PSB (power system block set) toolboxes. The simulated results are presented to demonstrate the capability of the isolated generating system consisting of NSSC and IAG driven by uncontrolled pico hydro turbine and feeding 3-phase 4-wire loads.

The generation of electric power using self excited induction generation (SEIG) is a viable option in remote and rural areas where grid electricity is not available. The generated voltage and frequency of these machines, however, varies with varying loads. This characteristic can be resolved either by adjusting the values of the excitation capacitance or by controlling the prime mover speed. Further, in a single-point constant power application, where the machines deliver a fixed amount of power, the electronic load controller (ELC) can be used to switch-in or switch-out a dump load whenever the consumer load decreases or increases respectively. This paper presents a detailed analysis and the design of a microcontroller based SEIG -ELC system intended for stand-alone pico hydro power generation. The simulated performance of the controller is supplemented by experimental results.

Reliability is an important issue in cascaded H-bridge converters (CHB converters) because they use a high number of power semiconductors. A faulty power cell in a CHB converter can potentially lead to expensive downtime and great losses on the consumer side. With a fault-tolerant control strategy, operation can continue with the undamaged cells; thus increasing the reliability of the system. In this paper, the operating principles and the control method for a CHB multilevel rectifier are introduced. The influence of various faults on the CHB converter is investigated. The method of fault diagnosis and the bypassing of failed cells are explained. A fault-tolerant protection strategy is proposed to achieve redundancy in the CHB rectifier. The redundant H-bridge concept helps to deal with device failures and to increase system reliability. Simulation results verify the performance of the proposed strategy.

This paper deals with a voltage and frequency (VF) controller for an isolated power generation system based on an asynchronous generator (AG) driven by a pico hydro turbine. The proposed controller is a combination of a static compensator (STATCOM) and an electronic load controller (ELC) for decoupled control of the reactive and active powers of the AG system to control the voltage and frequency respectively. The proposed generating system along with its VF controller is modeled in MATLAB using SIMULINK and PSB (Power System Block Sets) toolboxes. The performance of the controller is verified for the proposed system and feeding various types of consumer load such as linear/non-linear, balanced/unbalanced and dynamic loads.

This paper presents a new ZCS-PWM high frequency inverter. Zero current switching operation is achieved in the whole load range by using a simple auxiliary reverse blocking switch in parallel with series resonant capacitor. Dual duty cycle control scheme is used to provide a wide range of high frequency AC output power regulation that is important in many high frequency inverter applications. It found that a complete soft switching operation can be achieved even for low power setting ranges by introducing high-frequency dual duty cycle control scheme. The proposed high frequency inverter is more suitable for consumer induction heating(IH) applications. The operation and control principle of the proposed high frequency inverter are described and verified through simulated results.

This paper is mainly concerned with a high frequency soft-switching PWM inverter suitable for consumer induction heating systems. The proposed system is composed of a soft switching chopper based boost PFC converter stage with passive snubber and phase shifted PWM controlled full bridge ZVZCS high frequency inverter stage. Its fundamental operating performances are illustrated and evaluated in the experimental results. Its effectiveness is substantially proved on the basis of the experimental results from a practical point of view.

Recently, according to developing industry and life style, power consumption have been increased year after year. Currently these much power demand from power consumer is weakening the allowable power reserve margin in summer. As one of the remedies about this problem, the small scale utility interactive photovoltaic system(UIPVS) is considered for auxiliary power source. For this system one of problems to be solved technically, system operating power factor. Generally in case of small scale system, system is operated in unity power factor. But this unity power factor operating mode decrease power factor viewed from utility because UIPVS supply active power to utility. Therefore this paper propose UIPVS with power factor correcting function and this system is analyzed.
