This paper proposes an actively clamped two-switch flyback converter. Compared to the conventional two-switch flyback converter, the proposed two-switch flyback converter operates with a wide duty cycle range. By using an active-clamp circuit, the proposed converter achieves zero-voltage switching for all of the power switches. Zero-current switching of an output diode is also achieved. Thus, compared with the conventional converter, the proposed converter realizes a higher efficiency with an extended duty cycle. The performance of the proposed converter is verified by the experimental results with use of a 1.0 kW prototype circuit.

This paper presents a new ZCS-PWM high frequency inverter. Zero current switching operation is achieved in the whole load range by using a simple auxiliary reverse blocking switch in parallel with series resonant capacitor. Dual duty cycle control scheme is used to provide a wide range of high frequency AC output power regulation that is important in many high frequency inverter applications. It found that a complete soft switching operation can be achieved even for low power setting ranges by introducing high-frequency dual duty cycle control scheme. The proposed high frequency inverter is more suitable for consumer induction heating(IH) applications. The operation and control principle of the proposed high frequency inverter are described and verified through simulated results.

This paper presents a new hybrid control scheme using Active-Clamped Class-E (ACCE) inverter of induction heating(IH) jar for high power applications. The proposed hybrid control scheme has characteristics, which act as class-E inverter at lower switch voltage and ACCE inverter at higher switch voltage than reference voltage of the main switch by feeding back voltage one as well as advantages of conventional ACCE inverter such as zero-voltage switching(ZVS) of the main switch and the reduced switch voltage due to the clamping circuit. Moreover, the proposed control method makes higher output power than conventional ACCE inverter control one since ACCE inverter is operated like class-E inverter at low voltage condition. The principle of the proposed control are explained in detail and the validity of the proposed control scheme is verified through the several interesting simulated and experimental results.

High capacity UPS and emergency generators are commonly employed at facilities where power interruption is not allowed. Nowadays, combinations of existing commercial incoming power and an emergency generator or combination of multiple generators and CTTS(Closed Transition Transfer Switch) is adopted sometimes for more reliable power supply. In this paper, application of CTTS and STS(Static Transfer Switch) to dual-power line is suggested for highly reliable uninterruptible power. By realizing such a system, construction of incoming power facilities, installation of emergency generator and large capacity UPS can be omitted, through which saving of the installation space and corresponding capital investment can be expected.

The paper presents a long-pulse modulator for klystron using a high-voltage solid-state switch and a droop compensator. The modulator guarantees the safe of klystron by limiting the amount of energy transferred to klystron in case of arc. The high performance of the modulator is also achieved by the fast transition time, high flatness and average power. The proposed prototype has produced pulses with a flat-top voltage -90[kV], pulse width 1ms and pulse frequency 200[Hz]. The validity of the long-pulse modulator for klystron has been verified by the simulation and experimental works.

This paper introduces a low cost, high efficiency, high performance three-phase unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) by using four-switch three-phase inverters (FSTPIs) and an extra capacitor in the shunt active power filter (APF) side of the UPQC. In the proposed UPQC, both shunt and series APFs are developed by using FSTPIs so that the number of switching devices is reduced from twelve to eight devices. In addition, by inserting an additional capacitor in series with the shunt APF, the DC-link voltage in the proposed UPQC can also be greatly reduced. As a result, the system cost and power loss of the proposed UPQC is significantly minimized thanks to the use of a smaller number of power switches with a lower rating voltage without degrading the compensation performance of the UPQC. Design of passive components for the proposed UPQC to achieve a good performance is presented in detail. In addition, comparisons on power loss, overall system efficiency, compensation performance between the proposed UPQC and the traditional one are also determined in this paper. Simulation and experimental studies are performed to verify the validity of the proposed topology.

A modular upgrade design for packet transport switch nodes is presented where packet loss is dramatically reduced by intra-module and inter-module buffer sharing. This modular design offers significant cost and power reduction in a high-data-rate system where buffers are highly costly and power-greedy.

A single-switch parallel resonant converter for induction heating is implemented. The circuit consists of an input LC-filter, a bridge rectifier, and a controlled power switch. The switch operates in soft commutation mode and serves as a high frequency generator. The output power is controlled via the switching frequency. A steady state analysis of the converter operation is presented. A closed-loop circuit model is also presented, and the experimental results are compared with the simulation results.
