A novel converter-free AC LED driver that is highly resistant to the fluctuation of AC voltage is proposed in this study. By removing large passive components, such as the bulky capacitor and the large-value inductor, the integration of the driver circuit is enhanced while the driving current remains stable. The proposed circuit provides LED lamps with a driving current that can follow the sinusoid waveform to obtain a very high power factor (PF) and low total harmonic distortion (THD). The LED input current produced by this driving current is insensitive to fluctuations in the AC voltage. Users will thus not feel that LED lamps are flashing during the fluctuation. Experiment results indicate that the proposed system can obtain PF of 0.999 and THD as low as 3.3% for a five-string 6 W LED load under 220 V at 50 Hz.

Electric energy is consumed or regenerated according to an operation of electric rail cars in urban railway power substations. A thyristor dual converter system is used to deal with the electric energy. Since the AC input voltage of power substations is $22.9kV{\pm}10%$, the magnitude of the AC voltage fluctuates according to load conditions, so the secondary side voltage of the DDY transformer also fluctuates. In the thyristor dual converter, the response characteristics of the DC output voltage and the DC output current are changed based on an initial firing angle in the cross mode conversion between the forward mode and the reverse mode. Therefore, this paper proposes the initial firing angle tracking algorithm considering fluctuation of the AC input voltage. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by a simulation compared with the conventional algorithm.

Industrial Static Var Generator (SVG) is typically applied at or near the load center to mitigate voltage fluctuation, flicker, phase unbalance, non-sine distortion or other load-related disturbance. Special attention is paid to the influence of grid voltage quality on SVG current, the non-sine distortion and unbalance of grid voltage causes not only the AC current distortion and unbalance but also the DC voltage fluctuation. In order to let the inverter voltage contain the fundamental negative sequence and harmonic component corresponding to the grid voltage, a new dual-loop control scheme is proposed to suppress the influence in this paper. The harmonic and negative sequence voltage decomposition algorithm and DC voltage control are also introduced. All these analyses can guide the practical applications. The simulation results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the present control strategy and analyses.

The scott transformer changes three-phase power to two single-phase power. However, this method causes unbalance and fluctuation of voltage by the change of electric railload. Recently, the AC railway system based on $3{\Phi}/1{\Phi}$ back-to-back (BTB) voltage source converter (VSC) has been proposed to solve these problems. Meanwhile, battery energy storage system (BESS) is used to compensate voltage instantaneously in power system. In this paper, BESS application to the AC railway system based on $3{\Phi}/1{\Phi}$ BTB VSC is suggested to compensate voltage instantaneously. The application effect is shown through simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

본 논문에서는 정전류 부하모델 교류 전기철도 AT 급전시스템을 회로망 해석법(Loop Equation Method)을 이용하여 실제 급전시스템과 유사하게 제약조건을 두고 여러 경우를 가정하여 모델링 하였다. 이 방법을 통해 앞으로 건설될 고속 전기철도 급전시스템의 전력품질에 영향을 줄 수 있는 전압강하에 주안점을 두고 정상급전의 경우뿐만 아니라 연장급전의 경우를 새롭게 확대 해석하였으며 이 결과를 동적 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 PSCAD /EMTDC를 이용하여 그 정확성과 실용성을 검증하였다. 또한 사례연구를 통해 전압 보상기를 설치하지 않는 경우와 STATCOM을 설치한 경우의 전압강하 보상효과를 PSCAD/EMTDC로 시뮬레이션 하여 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 저내압 반도체 공정으로 제작 가능한 교류 구동 LED 드라이버 IC를 설계하여, 그 성능들에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 교류 220V에서 직접 구동하기 위한 드라이버 IC를 제작하기 위하여 500V 이상의 항복전압을 만족하는 반도체 제조공정이 필요하다. 고내압 반도체 제조공정은 일반적인 저내압 반도체 공정보다 매우 높은 제조비용을 요구한다. 따라서 낮은 내압의 소자를 구현하는 반도체 공정기술로도 제작할 수 있도록 LED 드라이버 IC를 직렬로 설계하였다. 이는 입력전압이 고전압이라도 각 LED 블록마다 전압이 나누어 인가되는 것을 가능하게 한다. LED 조명회로는 220V에서 96%의 역률을 나타내고 있다. pnp 트랜지스터를 이용한 역률 개선 회로에서는 99.7%의 아주 높은 역률을 얻을 수 있으며, 입력전압의 변동과 관계없이 매우 안정된 동작을 보여주었다.

Droop control schemes have been widely employed in the control strategies for Multi-Terminal Direct Current (MTDC) system for its high reliability. Under the conventional DC voltage-active power droop control, the droop slope applies a proportional relationship between DC voltage error and active power error for power sharing. Due to the existence of DC network impedance and renewable resource fluctuation, there is inevitably a DC voltage deviation from the droop characteristic, which in turn results in inaccurate control of converter's power. To tackle this issue, a piecewise droop control with DC voltage dead band or active power dead band is implemented into controller design. Besides, an advanced droop control scheme with versatile function is proposed, which enables the converter to regulate DC voltage and AC voltage, control active and reactive power, get participated into frequency control, and feed passive network. The effectiveness of the proposed control method has been verified by simulation results.

일반적인 단상 PFC 컨버터는 직류전압을 일정한 기준값으로 제어할 수 있으나 시스템의 구성상 직류전압과 교류전압 및 전류등을 검출하여 제어하기 때문에 전체적으로 제어 시스템이 복잡하고, 가격이 비싸며, 신속성등의 문제점들이 대두되어지고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 센서리스 PFC 컨버터 회로를 제안하여 교류 전압파형 검출만으로 전체 시스템을 간단하게 제어하였다. 그리고 초퍼회로에서 제어된 전압량 Kd(Ed/Ea)에 의해서 직류출력전압을 직접적으로 제어하였으며, 직류출력전압의 변동율이 회로의 파라미터에 따른 변화의 특징에 대해서 서술하였다. 이러한 모든 사항아느 실험을 통하여 타당성을 증명하였다.

A resonant type voltage source and power device and a control method using Pulse Density Modulation(PDM) power control and Pulse Width Modulation(PWM)voltage control for plasma sterilization are described. For the stability of discharge in the generating tube, it is desirable that the peak apply voltage is constant. The PDM power control is employed for sustaining the voltage constant at any generating tube input power. Moreover, to avoid the influence of input AC voltage fluctuation etc., PWM voltage control with generating tube peak voltage feedback is used. Both functions were confirmed by the experiment with inverter and generating tube. The effect of input synchronous PDM method for input current stabilizing is confirmed also.
