본 논문에서는 자기공명 임피던스 단층촬영기(MREIT, magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography)에서 인체에 일정한 전류를 주입해주는 전류주입장치의 설계 및 성능 검증을 다루었다. MREIT는 인체에 전류를 주입하고, 주입전류에 의해 유기된 인체내부의 자속밀도 분포와 인체표면의 전압을 측정하여, 내부의 도전율 분포를 영상화하는 임피던스 영상기술이다. DSP(digital signal processor)를 기반으로 전류주입장치를 설계하였고, 극성을 가지는 펄스 형태로 전류를 주입할 수 있도록 하였다. 3.0T MREIT 시스템의 펄스열(pulse sequence)과 주입전류 파형이 동기화 되도록 제어하였고, 펄스의 폭과 크기를 변경할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 계측용 증폭기를 사용하여 주입전류에 의해 유기된 전압을 측정하였다. 이러한 모든 기능은 DSP와 직렬통신으로 연결되는 PC가 제어하며 제어용 프로그램은 현재 주입되고 있는 전류의 크기와 파형을 모니터링 할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문은 이러한 전류주입장치의 설계와 구현을 기술하며, 전해질 용액 팬텀을 사용한 실험결과를 통한 성능의 분석을 다룬다.

This paper provides a comparison of power converter loss and thermal description for voltage source and current source type 5 MW-class medium-voltage topologies of wind turbines. Neutral-point clamped three-level converter is adopted for a voltage source type topology, whereas a two-level converter is employed for current source type topology, considering the popularity in the industry. To match the required voltage level of 4160 V with the same switching device of IGCT as in the voltage source converter, two active switches are connected in series for the case of current source converter. Transient thermal modeling of a four-layer Foster network for heat transfer is done to better estimate the transient junction and case temperature of power semiconductors during various operating conditions in wind turbines. The loss analysis is confirmed through PLECS simulations. Comparison result shows that the VSC-based wind turbine system has higher efficiency than the CSC under the rated operating conditions.

This paper proposes the Selected Harmonic Elimination Pluse Width Modulation (SHE PW) scheme toreduce the ahrmonic components of source line current. To eliminate the low order harmonics which affects the source dominatly, we apply the Fourier series analysis to line current waveforms and then find out the switching patterns using the SHE PWM scheme. In addition to the analysis of harmonic effects, the three phase filter circuit is used to reduce high order harmonics. For the experimental realization, the converter circuit with power Transistor(PTR) is designed and the Pulse Time Control(PTC) is applied. The line current and the load voltage are measured under the condition of three phase application, highly inductive load.

In this paper, voltage source FEA considering magnetic hysteresis characteristics is presented. Magnetization dependent model is used as a hysteresis model. The unknowns in finite element equation are the magnetic vector potential and current. Core model is analyzed and current waveform is compared with the experimental one. It is found that current can be accurately predicted with the voltage variation.

The systematic and effective design method of a Class-D current-source resonant inverter for use in an induction cooker with zero-ripple line current is presented. The design procedure is based on the principle of the Class-D current-source resonant inverter with a simplified load network model that is a parallel equivalent circuit. An induction load characterization is obtained from a large-signal excitation test-bench based on parallel load network, which is the key to an accurate design for the induction cooker system. Accordingly, the proposed scheme provides a systematic, precise, and feasible solution than the existing design method based on series-parallel load network under low-signal excitation. Moreover, a zero-ripple condition of utility-line input current is naturally preserved without any extra circuit or control. Meanwhile, a differential-mode input electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter can be eliminated, high power quality in utility-line can be obtained, and a standard-recovery diode of bridge-rectifier can be employed. The step-by-step design procedure explained with design example. The devices stress and power loss analysis of induction cooker with a parallel load network under large-signal excitation are described. A 2,500-W laboratory prototype was developed for $220-V_{rms}/50-Hz$ utility-line to verify the theoretical analysis. An efficiency of the prototype is 96% at full load.

This paper is concerned with the analysis of microprocessor-based PID control for the current source inverter-induction motor derive system. A linearized dynamic model of the motor is derived and is converted into the discrete-time model. With the equation, the overall system including the feedback loops is formulated into a single discrete-time state equation. The stability regions are determined at various values of controller gains. The transient responses of the motor speed are simulated by digital computer and are verified by laboratory experiments.

A Slowing Down Time Spectrometer (SDTS) system is a highly efficient technique for isotopic nuclear material content analysis. SDTS technology has been used to analyze spent nuclear fuel and the pyro-processing of spent fuel. SDTS requires an external neutron source to induce the isotopic fissile fission. A high intensity neutron source is required to ensure a high for a good fissile fission. The electron linear accelerator system was selected to generate proper source neutrons efficiently. As a first step, the electron generator of an 80-keV electron gun was manufactured. In order to produce the high beam power from electron linear accelerator, a proper beam current is required form the electron generator. In this study, the beam current was measured by evaluating the performance of the electron generator. The beam current was determined by five parameters: high voltage at the electron gun, cathode voltage, pulse width, pulse amplitude, and bias voltage at the grid. From the experimental results under optimal conditions, the high voltage was determined to be 80 kV, the pulse width was 500 ns, and the cathode voltage was from 4.2 V to 4.6 V. The beam current was measured as 1.9 A at maximum. These results satisfy the beam current required for the operation of an electron linear accelerator.

In tins paper, the method of analysis of induction heating is proposed. It's a coupled problem. First, eddy current problem with current source is analyzed using 2-D finite element method, from which eddy current distribution is obtained. And the second, heat source can be calculated directly by the eddy current. Also the temperature distribution is obtained using 2-D finite element method. Eddy current problem and heat transfer problem are dealt with under steady state in this paper.

This paper discusses a triple stage current source GTO inverter system for high power motor drives. The energy rebound circuit of the triple stage inverter not only controls the spike voltage of the GTO inverter but also facilitates PWM control of the thyristor rectifier operated at unity fundamental input power factor. Based on Pspice simulation and experiments, the principles and PWM pulse pattern for removing specific lower harmonics in the inverter's output current are discussed in detail.

A new large-scale network geometric analysis is introduced. For a large-scale circuit, it must be analyzed with a geometric diagram and figure. So many equations are induced from a geometric loop-node diagram. The results are arranged into a simple matrix, of course. In case of constructing a network diagram, it is not easy to handle voltage and current sources together. Geometric loop analysis is related to voltage sources, and node analysis is to current sources. The reciprocal transfer is possible only to have series or parallel impedance. If not having this impedance, in order to obtain equivalent circuit, many equations must be derived. In this paper a loop-reduction method is proposed. With this method current source branch is included into the other branch, and disappears in circuit diagram. So the number of independent circuit equations are reduced as much as that of current sources. The number is not (b-n+1), but (b-n+1-p). Where p is the number of current sources. The reduction procedure is verified with a geometric principle and circuit theory. A resultant matrix can be constructed directly from this diagram structure, not deriving circuit equations. We will obtain the last results with the help of a computer.
