Recently, as a result of the progress in power electronics and microelectronics, the inverter technology is quickly developing. Also, by using the fast microprocessor and small-sized switching devices, such as IPM, the Inverter becomes more compact and cheap. This paper proposes an inexpensive and small-sized vector controller for induction motors using 87C196MC and IPM. The proposed inverter contributes further space-saving, and high performance features to motor drives system.

A FB-ZVS(Full Bridge Zero Voltage Switching) PWM DC/DC converter for electric vehicles is simulated and implemented in this paper. The converter considered is a step-down DC/DC converter with the ratings of 312/13.5V and 1.35kW. The steady state operation of this converter is divided into six operating modes in case of continuous current mode and eight operating modes in case of discontinuous current mode. Digital simulations using PSpice are carried out to verify the steady-state analysis. A prototype converter was built in the laboratory. MOSFETs were used for swithching devices and fast recovery diodes to reduce the charge storage problem of a pn-junction.

Pd nanogap hydrogen sensors were developed using an elastomeric substrate and operated through an on-off mechanism. A 10 nm thick Pd thin film was formed on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate, and 50% of the physical strain was applied in the longitudinal direction to fabricated uniform nanogaps. The initial concentration of the hydrogen gas for the PDMS/Pd films was controlled, and subsequently, the on-off switching response was measured. We found that the average nanogap was less than 50 nm, and the Pd nanogap hydrogen sensors operated over a wide range of temperatures. In particular, the sensors work properly even at a very low temperature of -40℃ with a fast response time of 2 s. In addition, we have investigated the relative humidity and annealing effects.

본문에서 주파수hopping과 이동통신에서 요구되는 고속 주파수 전환이 가능한 새로운 주파수 신시사이저 (Synthesizer)를 제안한다. 종래의 PLL 주파수 신시사이저는 기준 주파수와 출력의 채널 주파수 간격이 동일하기 때문에 기준 주파수를 낮게 하면 매우 긴 동기 시간이 소요된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 주파수 신시사이저는 새로운 제어 방법을 이용한 다단 펄스 제거 회로를 사용하여 기준 주파수와 채널 간격 주파수를 독립적으로 설정할 수 있기 때문에 종래의 신시사이저와 동일한 채널 간격의 주파수를 유지시키면서 기준 주파수를 높일 수 있고, 또한 루프(loop)이득을 크게 할 수 있다. 따라서 종래의 주파수 신시사이저보다 주파수 절환시간을 크게 단축할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 절환시간을 1/100 정도 단축시킬 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

This study proposes an input filter for a gallium-nitride-based direct matrix converter with a stepless current commutation technique. Various current commutation strategies have been adopted for reliable operation of switches. These strategies are complex to be implemented and require additional components. The stepless current commutation technique is simple to operate but causes overcurrent issues due to the occurrence of short circuit on input sources. In this study, to restrict the short circuit current, we utilized GaN devices with fast switching properties and modified the input filter. The proposed input filter was verified by experimental results of induction motor drive.

A new static var compensator(SVC) system using three-level inverter is proposed for high voltage and high power applications. A general and simple model for the overall system is obtained using circuit DQ-transform and DC and AC analyses are achieved to characterize the open-loop system. Using the proposed model, a new control method which controls both the phase angle and modulation index of switching pattern simultaneously is suggested to provide fast response of SVC system without using independent voltage source. Finally, predicted results are verified by computer simulation.

This research analyzed the electrical characteristics of an 80 V optimal trench power MOSFET (metal oxide field effect transistor) for mobile applications. The power MOSFET is a fast switching device in fields with low voltage(<100 V) such as mobile application. Moreover, the power MOSFET is a major carrier device that is not minor carrier accumulation when the device is turned off. We performed process and device simulation using TCAD tools such as MEDICI and TSUPREM. The electrical characteristics of the proposed trench gate power MOSFET such as breakdown voltage and on resistance were compared with those of the conventional power MOSFET. Consequently, we obtained breakdown voltage of 100 V and low on resistance of $130m{\Omega}$. The proposed power MOSFET will be used as a switch in batteries of mobile phones and note books.

In this paper, stator form-winding sample coils based on silicone resin and polyimide were made for fault prediction and reliability estimation on the 200 Class insulation system of traction motors. The complex accelerative degradation was performed by periods during 10 cycles, which was composed of thermal stress, fast rising surge voltage, vibration, water immersion and overvoltage applying. After aging of 10 cycles, condition diagnosis test such as insulation resistance & polarization index, capacitance & dielectric loss and partial discharge properties were investigated in the temperature range of 20∼160$^{\circ}C$. Relationship among condition diagnosis test was analyzed to find an dominative degradation factor and an insulation state at end-life point.

This paper proposes a novel control strategy of SVC(Static var compensator) using cascade multilevel inverter. To control the reactive power instantaneously, the dq-dynamic system model is described and analyzed. A single pulse pattern based on the SHE(Selective Harmonic Elimination) technique is determined from the look-up table to reduce the line current harmonics and a rotating fundamental frequency switching scheme is applied to adjust the DC capacitor voltage at the scheme level. From the simulation, it is verified that this proposed control scheme make the dynamic control response of SVC fast, the current harmonics low, and the DC capacitor voltage balanced.
