A coupled inductor-dual boost-inverter (CIDBI) with a differential structure has been presented for application to a micro-inverter photovoltaic module system due to its turn ratio of a high-voltage level. However, it is difficult to design a CIDBI converter with a conventional PI regulator to be stable and achieve good dynamic performance, given the fact that it is a high order system. In view of this situation, a sliding mode control (SMC) strategy is introduced in this paper, and two different sliding mode controllers (SMCs) are proposed and adopted in the left and right side of two Boost sub-circuits to implement the corresponding regulation of the voltage and current. The schemes of the SMCs have been elaborated in this paper including the establishment of a system variable structure model, selection of the sliding surface, determination of the control law, and presentation of the reaching conditions and sliding domain. Finally, the mathematic analysis and the proposed SMC are verified by experimental results.

This paper presents the development process for a high-power diode laser for metal surface hardening. To combine the emissions from several laser bars, it is necessary to collimate the emitted light using an optical lens. Thus, to achieve a suitable power density and uniform beam profile, several optical layouts were proposed. To estimate the laser beam for a flat-top distribution, a numerical analysis was performed using the ZEMAX software, and the results were compared with the experimental results. With a focal lens assembled in a serial diode stack source, the design can utilize the advantage of compacting the overall beam size. Experimental results for a robotic system demonstrated the processing ability of this diode laser module in industrial laser hardening.

The one and two pair of oxide modules for high temperature thermoelectric power generation were fabricated with $Ca_{2.7}Bi_{0.3}Co_4O_9$(p-type) and $Ca_{0.96}Bi_{0.04}Mn_{0.96}Nb_{0.04}O_3$(n-type) on $Al_2O_3$ substrate. For the optimizing of the design process, contact resistance was derived from the results of the one pair modules, and then the resistance of two pair modules were calculated to use the derived data. Those values were compared with the measured values for the optimizing of this design process. The resistance of calculated and measured two pairs modules was 0.956 $\Omega$ and 1.110 Q $\Omega$ $T_h$=833 K, respectively, the difference of resistance was about 0.15 $\Omega$. From the result, proposed design process is effective for high temperature thermoelectric oxide modules fabrication.

A new high efficiency phase shifted full bridge (PSFB) converter for sustaining power module of plasma display panel (PDP) is proposed in this paper .The proposed converter employs the rectifier of voltage doubler type without output inductor. Since it has no output inductor, the voltage stresses of the secondary rectifier diodes can be clamped at the level of the output voltage. Therefore, no dissipative resistor-capacitor (RC) snubber for rectifier diodes is needed and a high efficiency as well as low noise cutout voltage can be realized. In addition, due to elimination of the large output inductor, it features a simple structure, lower cost, less mass, and lighter weight. Furthermore, the proposed converter has wide zero voltage switching (ZVS ) ranges with low current stresses of the primary switches. Also the resonance between the leakage inductor of the transformer and the capacitor of the voltage doubler cell makes the current stresses of the primary switches and rectifier diodes reduced. In this paper, the operational principles, analysis of the proposed converter, and the experimental results are presented.

Interest and investment in renewable energy have increased worldwide, highlighting the need for renewable energy. Solar energy was the most promising energy of all renewable energy sources, and it has the highest investment value. Because photovoltaics require a certain amount of area for installation, high density and high output performance are required. Shingled module is a promising technology in that they are featured by higher density and higher output compared to the conventional modules. Shingled technology uses a laser scribing to divide solar cells that are to be bonded with electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) to produce and connect strings, which has a higher output in the same area than the conventional modules. In the process of producing solar modules, metal ribbons are used to interconnect cells, but they are also needed for string connections in shingled solar cells. Accordingly, in this study, we researched the interconnection that best suits the connector that joins the string to the string. The module outputs produced under the conditions of the string interconnection were compared and analyzed.

In this article, the linearity of single power amplifier is improved by suppress $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ harmonics at output port of high power amplifier and by cancelling of $3^{rd}$ IMD. The matching network in order to suppress harmonics consists of metamaterial like the CRLH. The $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ harmonics are suppressed over 27 dBc, respectively. A phase of generated $3^{rd}$ IMD at output of DPA (drive power amplifier) has changed in order to offset the $3^{rd}$ IMD of HPA (high power amplifier). The harmonics of the proposed PAM suppress over 6 dB than single HPA. The PAM has a 36.98 dBm of the output power, 21.6 dB of the power gain and 29.4 % of the PAE. The harmonics is a -53 dBc about PAM. This result indicate that a harmonic level is lower 20 dB than reference power amplifier.
