We present a two-stage inverter with high step-up conversion ratio engaging modified finite-set Model Predictive Control (MPC) for utility-integrated photovoltaic (PV) applications. The anticipated arrangement is fit for low power PV uses, the calculated efficiency at 150 W input power and 19 times boosting ratio was around 94%. The suggested high-gain dc-dc converter based on Cockcroft-Walton multiplier constitutes the first-stage of the offered structure, due to its high step-up ability. It can boost the input voltage up to 20 times. The 3S current-source inverter constitutes the second-stage. The 3S current-source inverter hires three semiconductor switches, in which one is functioning at high-frequency and the others are operating at fundamental-frequency. The high-switching pulses are varied in the procedure of unidirectional sine-wave to engender a current coordinated with the utility-voltage. The unidirectional current is shaped into alternating current by the synchronized push-pull configuration. The MPC process are intended to control the scheme and achieve the subsequent tasks, take out the Maximum Power (MP) from the PV, step-up the PV voltage, and introduces low current with low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and with unity power factor with the grid voltage.

At present, high frequency electronic ballast are widely used to drive the fluorescent lamp at high frequency for improving light quality. The electronic ballast mainly consist of an inverter stage with a load resonant circuit. This paper derives a lamp model consist of a voltage equation and a current equation. The proposed model is useful for an engineer to determine circuits and to analyze the performance of electronic ballast with high frequency operation. Simulation with PSPICE and experimentator and the high power factor of the proposed topology.

In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering piezoelectric transformer, $(Pb_{0.99-x}Ca_xSr_{0.01})Ti_{0.96}(Mn_{1/3}Sb_{2/3})_{0.04}O_3$ ceramic systems were fabricated using $Na_2CO_3-Li_2CO_3$ as sintering aids and investigated with the amount of Ca substitution. The piezoelectric transformer requires high electromechanical coupling factor $k_t$ and high mechanical quality factor $Q_{mt}$ for generating high output power At the ($PbCaSr)Ti(MnSb)O_3$ ceramics with 24mol% Ca substitution sintered at $900^{\circ}C$, electromechanical coupling factor $k_t$ and mechanical quality factor $Q_{mt}$ showed the optimal values of 0.504 and 1655 respectively, for thickness vibration mode multilayer piezoelectric transformer application.

The conventional three phase rectifier with Bulk LC output filter has been widely used in the industry because of simple circuit, low cost and high power factor (90%). One of the biggest drawback of this rectifier is bulky and havy. This is serious especially for aerospace applications. To solve this problem a new simple rectifier is presented. Operation of the proposed rectifier is illustrated and verifyed by PSpice simulation.

This paper propose the high power factor and efficiency buck-boost AC-DC converter because the input current is made sinusoidal wave in single phase alternating current source. The proposed converter is able to minimize switching loss by the partial resonant switching which is for switching devices to operate the zero voltage switching (ZVS) or zero current switching(ZCS) without increasing their voltage and current stresses.

The temperature distribution in the pellet was obtained from beginning the general heat conduction equation. The thermal conductivity of pellet used the SIMFUEL data that made clear the effect of burnup on the thermal conductivity degradation. Since the pellet rim acts as the thermal barrier to heat flow. the pellet was subdivided into several rings in which the outer ring was adjusted to play almost the same role as the rim. The local burup in each ring except the outer ring was calculated from the power depression factor based on FASER results. whereas the rim burnup at the outer ring was achieved by the pellet averaged burnup based on the empirical relation. The rim changed to the equivalent Xe film so the predicted temperature shooed the thermal jump across the rim. The observed temperature profiles depended on linear heat generation rate. fuel burnup. and power depression factor. The thermal conductivity degradation modelling can be applied to the fuel performance code to high burnup fuel,

A new soft switching technique that improves performance of the high power factor boost rectifier by reducing switching losses is introduced. The losses are reduced by air active snubber which consists of an inductor, a capacitor a rectifier, and an auxiliary switch. Since the boost switch turns off with zero current, this technique is well suited for implementations with insulated gate bipolar transistors. The reverse recovery related losses of the rectifier are also reduced by the snubber inductor which is connected in series with the boost switch and the boost rectifier. In addition, the auxiliary switch operates with zero voltage switching. A complete design procedure and extensive performance evaluation of the proposed active snubber using a 1.2[kW] high power factor boost rectifier operating from a $90[V_{rms}]$ input are also presented.

PWM converters employing GTO's are proposed to be used for the currently planned Korean High-Speed Train system. In this paper, operating methods and harmonic spectrums are investigated for the PWM modulated voltage controlled GTO AC/DC converter used in the High-Speed Train System. It is shown that harmonic components can be controlled by varying carrier frequency in PWM modulation schemes. Then the input power-factor control scheme is suggested and analyzed. It is found that the power-factor can be varied by controlling the converter input voltage and phase angles between the input supply voltage and the converter input voltage. Finally, simulation programs are developed and converter systems are implemented.
