A reliable voltage measurement system is necessary to monitor status of power facilities in substations, which is easy to set up and is not influenced by electromagnetic interference in and around substation. In this paper, we described a voltage measurement system (VMS) which is composed of a capacitive voltage probe, an impedance converter, and an optical linker. To get a wide-band characteristic of the VMS, a high speed impedance converter was used, and the output impedance of the VMS was set at $50{\Omega}$ to match any types of observing instruments. The frequency bandwidth of the VMS. which was estimated by a step pulse, was ranges from 11.42 Hz to 13.65 MHz, and the VMS showed a good response characteristic in a high frequency domain such as impulse voltages as well as a commercial frequency voltage.

Recently, a fuel cell with low voltage and high current output characteristics is remarkable for new generation system. It needs both a DC-DC step-up converter and DC-AC inverter to be used in fuel cell generation system. Therefor, this paper, consists of an isolated DC-DC converter to boost the fuel cell voltage 380[VDC] and a PWM inverter with LC filter to convent the DC voltage to single-phase 220[VAC]. Expressly, a tapped inductor filter with freewheeling diode is newly implemented in the output filter of the proposed high frequency isolated ZVZCS PWM DC-DC converter to suppress circulating current under the wide output voltage regulation range, thus to eliminate the switching and transformer turn-on/off over-short voltage or transient phenomena. Besides the efficiency of 93-97[%] is obtained over the wide output voltage regulation ranges and load variations.

Recently, much power demand from domestic power consumer is weakening the allowable power reserve margin in summer, especially at midday for one day due to a steep increase of air cooling loads such as air conditioner. Therefore solar airconditioning system can'be considered as one of the best remedies to meet the increase of peak power. Generally in solar air conditioning system, the diode rectifier is used to build up DC link voltage from AC source. The diode rectifier is simple and cheap but it brings out the problems of low power factor and plentiful harmonics at the AC source. Also It can derate the utilization rate of solar energy because the reverse of power flow cannot be made. Hence, in this paper to overcome the peak power problem in summer and to endure good AC input characteristics, solar air conditioning system using the PWM converter is proposed. As results, obtained are the characteristics of the PWM converter such as low distorted current waveform, high power factor and bidirectional power control. And also the stability of proposed system is verified by examining the dynamics of step load change and power reversal testing. (author). refs., figs., tabs.

This paper presents high efficiency control system of automotive 35W electronic ballast for high intensity discharge(HID) lamp using switching flyback converter with variable frequency. Considering performance, size and efficiency of ballast, the flyback converter is designed with planar transformer in converter stage. HID lamp demands a highly efficient ballast and very complex control circuitry that can control complex transient state for applying to automotive. The proposed electronic ballast system is composed of a flyback converter using planar transformer, a full bridge inverter, and a step up igniter. In this system, switching frequency of flyback converter is controlled by varying input voltage of HID ballast and the price and the size of HID ballast using planar transformer can be reduced. The performance and efficiency of the posed system are verified through various the experiment results.

This paper deals with an electronic ballast for hish intensity short-arc discharge lamps, which consists of a boost converter, a step down converter operated as a current source with power regulation and a low frequency inverter with external ignition circuit The ignition circuit generates high voltage pulses of 130[Hz] up to 5 [kV]. A reignition circuit is equipped in the ballast, and it operates the lamp at a regular interval for protection when an ignition fails. Acoustic resonance phenomenon was eliminated by operating a low frequency square wave voltage and current. The measured lamp voltage, current and consumption power were 123.8 [V], 8.1 [A] and 1,002 [W], respectively. From the experiment, we confirmed that the prototype ballast operates the lamp with a constant power.

태양광 발전 시스템은 그 필요성이 늘어남에 따라 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 기존에 태양광 발전 제어 방식인 스트링 방식이나, 마이크로 컨버터 같은 방식 이외에도 그늘짐 등으로 인해 발생한 태양광 모듈의 전력 차이만을 부담하는 컨버터를 이용한 차동 전력 조절 방식도 연구가 되고 있다. 차동 전력조절기는 담당하는 전력이 적고, 스트링 컨버터를 통해 많은 전력이 전달이 되어 기존의 방식 보다 효율이 높다. 하지만, 태양광 모듈 MPPT 전압으로 부터 DC_link 전압만큼의 승압이 필요하다. 따라서, 고승압, 고효율 컨버터를 차동 전력 조절기로 사용을 하면 기존의 차동 전력 방식보다 더 나은 동작 특성을 가질 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차동 전력 조절기로 고승압의 컨버터 토폴로지를 사용하여, 기존의 방식보다 고효율을 유지하면서 차동 전력 조절기의 기능을 수행하는 구조를 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 부스트-플라이백(Integrated Boost-Flyback Converter, IBFC) 직렬 연결 구조 컨버터의 동작 특성 해석 및 정확한 제어기 설계를 위한 개선된 모델링 방법을 제시한다. 주 스위치에 의해 IBFC의 부스트, 플라이백 컨버터가 서로 다른 도통 모드로 동시에 동작 하기 때문에 2대 컨버터의 모델링과 회로 해석을 위한 이론적인 모델링 접근방법과 수학적인 계산과정이 복잡하다. 따라서 IBFC를 등가 전류 소스를 포함한 부스트, 플라이백 컨버터로 각각 나누어 상태 공간 평균화 방법을 이용하여 회로 방정식을 독립적으로 유도한 후, 이 회로 방정식을 종합하여 IBFC의 완전한 상태 공간 방정식을 얻을 수 있다. 제안된 방법은 IBFC의 복잡한 모델링을 간단하게 해 주며, 수학적인 계산 과정도 간소화 시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이를 바탕으로 정상 상태 해석 및 높은 출력 전압 추종 제어기를 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험 결과를 제시하여 제안된 방법의 유효함을 검증하였다.

In modern society, various DC power supplies are required to operate the system circuits of various electric devices. A stable DC supply is essential for the normal operation of the circuit and the importance of the converter for this is very high. This study proposed a PWM DC-DC converter circuit that applied a 3-pole 2-zero voltage controller to a KY converter, a step-up DC-DC converter, to maintain a stable supply of output voltage regardless of load fluctuations. In order to prove the normal operation characteristics of the proposed converter circuit, a PSIM simulation and a circuit operation experiment on the PCB board were performed in comparison with the conventional converter circuit.
