In recent years H-bridge multievel inverters have been focused on and selected as the power inverter in several high voltage and high power application. This paper proposes an new PWM method for the multievel H-bridge inverter systems. The proposed PWM method is a carrierwave-based space vector PWM method which utilizes the phase voltage redundancies considering both the switch and conduction loss of the devices. We describe the new PWM method in detail and the effectiveness of the new PWM method is verified by the simulation results.

This paper introduces a low-frequency switching method for the neutral line of TNPC inverters to achieve high efficiency. By applying the method, the switching loss in the neutral line is reduced. In order to compensate the current distortion near zero-crossing points, the partial switching strategy is applied. Both the simulation and the experimental results verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a new current control algorithm is proposed for four-switch three-phase brushless DC(BLU) motor drives, which are suitable for low cost applications. A current reference generation scheme is developed and Implemented to obtain high performance characteristics in the four-switch system, such as small torque ripple and fast dynamic speed/torque response. Moreover, the proposed scheme can successful1y eliminate the torque ripple during commutations, so that it can be expected that the four-switch system can be much more practically applied for the industrial application areas.

A multi-gap pseudospark is high power switching with a wide dynamical voltage range. The pseudospark system has been operated at the voltage of 5$\sim$20 kV and the pressure range of 35$\sim$80 mtorr. The switching current of the pseudospark switch was measured as 106 kA for 3 gaps. 124 kA for 4 gaps, 120 kA for 5 gaps. The current duration is about 0.9${\mu}s$ in each multi-gap switch. To obtain the characteristics of the switch, this paper describes the results of tests.

In the case of an existing high frequency inverter is became forced extinction by quick load change, due to be connected with series inductor on switch, it is destroyed or is generated conduction loss by resistance component in reactor. And, In the operation of high current with a soft switching, conduction loss can not neglect. In this paper, for the high current power source, we make sure of soft swtching operation and reducing surge when the forced extinction by using a connected switch with series inductor. Also, we poropos a topology of the half bridge type high frequency inverter that can be realized high amplitude operation of the load current. And, analyze the circuit to decide an opmtial circuit parameter.

A triode for alternating current (TRIAC) dimming light emitting diode (LED) driver, which adopts a variable switched capacitor for LED dimming and LED power regulation, is proposed in this paper. The proposed LED driver is power efficient, reliable, and long lasting because of the TRIAC switch that serves as its main switch. Similar to previous TRIAC dimmers for lamps, turn-on timing of a TRIAC switch can be controlled by a volume resistor, which modulates the equivalent capacitance of the proposed variable switched capacitor. Thus, LED power regulation against source voltage variation and LED dimming control can be achieved by the proposed LED driver while meeting the global standards for power factor (PF) and total harmonic distortion (THD). The long life and high power efficiency of the proposed LED driver make it appropriate for industrial lighting applications, such as those for streets, factories, parking garages, and emergency stairs. The detailed analysis of the proposed LED driver and its design procedure are presented in this paper. A prototype of 80 W was fabricated and verified by experiments, which showed that the efficiency, PF, and THD at V_s = 220 V are 93.8%, 0.95, and 22.5%, respectively; 65 W of LED dimming control was achieved with the volume resistor, and the LED power variation was well mitigated below 3.75% for 190 V < V_s < 250 V.

To achieve high efficiency in high power and high frequency applications, reduction of switching losses and noise is very important. In this paper, an improved soft switching forward converter is proposed. The proposed converter is constructed by using non-dissipative snubbers in parallel with the main switch and output diode of the conventional forward converter. Due to the use of the non-dissipative snubbers in the primary and secondary, the proposed converter achieves zero-voltage and zero-current switching for all switching devices without switching losses and output diode recovery losses. The complete operating principles, theoritical analysis, experimental results will be presented.

Recently, Switching devices become cheaper, depending on the multi-level inverters are considered as the power-conversion systems for high-power and power-quality demanding applications. The multi-level inverters can reduce the THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) as the output which is similar sinusoidal waveform by synthesizing several capacitor DC voltages. However it has some disadvantages such as increased number of components, complex PWM control method. Therefore, this paper is proposed the new multi-level inverter topology using an new H-bridge output stage with a bidirectional auxiliary switch. The proposed topology is the 4-level 3-phase PWM inverter with less switching part than conventional multi-level inverters and reactive power control possible. In order to understand the new multi-level inverter, topology analysis and switching patterns and modes according to the current loop are described in this paper. The proposed multi-level inverter topology is validated through PSIM simulation and the experimental results are provided from a prototype.

A bidirectional flyback converter is a suitable topology for use in a PV-to-bus differential power processing (DPP) module for PV applications due to its electrical isolation capability, bidirectional power transfer, high step-up ratio, and simple circuit structure. However, the bidirectional flyback converter design should consider the effect of the output-side power switch utilized for bidirectional operation compared with that of the conventional flyback converter. This study presents the structure and design methodology of the bidirectional flyback converter for a PV DPP module. Magnetizing inductance is designed by calculating the power loss of converter components within the rated load range under the discontinuous conduction mode, which is unaffected by the reverse recovery characteristics of the anti-parallel diode of the output-side power switch. The validity of the proposed design methodology is verified using a 25 W bidirectional flyback converter prototype. The operational principles and the performance of the DPP operation are verified using practical DPP modules consisting of bidirectional flyback converters implemented according to the proposed design methodology.
