A full-bridge secondary dual-resonant DC-DC converter using the asymmetrical pulse-width modulated (APWM) strategy is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter achieves zero-voltage switching for the power switches and zero-current switching for the rectifier diodes in the whole load range without the help of any auxiliary circuit. Given the use of the APWM strategy, a circulating current that exists in a traditional phase-shift full-bridge converter is eliminated. The voltage stress of secondary rectifier diodes in the proposed converter is also clamped to the output voltage. Thus, the existing voltage oscillation of diodes in traditional PSFB converters is eliminated. This paper presents the circuit configuration of the proposed converter and analyzes its operating principle. Experimental results of a 1 kW 385 V/48 V prototype are presented to verify the analysis results of the proposed converter.

The choice of control method and circuit must be decided after a broad inspection with the characteristics of load and control elements as well as that of electric and mechanical nature. In the present study, Pulse width modulated(PWM) SCR chopper was chosen and for the electric commutation, Jones' forced method was taken bacause of its having enough reverse bias energy. Objectives of experimentation by this system are; 1) the condition of SCR as a gate trigger pulse. 2) the observation of phenomena at the time of forced commutation 3) the experimentation on characteristics of speed control by PWM chopper. Above experimentation shows good characteristics, however, in the limit of narrow gap between the ON and OFF pulses, a complete control was not possible. So, that must be the point to be studied further alone with the harmonics influence.

The development of a fast, accurate, and inexpensive position-controlled pneumatic actuator that may be applied to various practical positioning applications with various external loads is described in this paper. A novel modified pulse-width modulation (MPWM) valve pulsing algorithm allows on/off solenoid valves to be used in place of costly servo valves. A comparison between the system response of the standard PWM technique and that of the modified PWM technique shows that the performance of the proposed technique was significantly increased. A state-feedback controller with position, velocity and acceleration feedback was successfully implemented as a continuous controller. A switching algorithm for control parameters using a learning vector quantization neural network (LVQNN) has newly proposed, which classifies the external load of the pneumatic actuator. The effectiveness of this proposed control algorithm with smooth switching control has been demonstrated through experiments with various external loads.

This paper presents comparisons of pullout load of concrete with compressive strength of cylinders and cores, pulse velocity, and rebound number. A pullout test, which is a relatively new nondestructive technique, measures with a special tension ram the force required to pullout a specially shaped steel rod whose enlarged end has been cast into a concrete block. In this study 3 concrete mixes(normal strength, high-strength & super-high-strength) were made. From each mix, one 100$\times$70$\times$20 concrete block, 24 cylinders$(\phi10mm)$were casted. Each tests were performed on the concrete blocks at 3, 7, 28, and 91days. The test data shows that the pullout test is superior to the rebond hammer and the pulse velocity measurements on the evaluation of concrete strength. The pullout test is satisfactory for estimating the strength of in situ concrete at both early and late age, and its results can be reproduced with an acceptable degree of accuracy.

This paper describes a rapid pulsed power charging system for pulsed power application. It is capable of charging 35kJ/s energy up to 0.47uF 25kV within 3ms and maximum pulse repetition rate of 300 pps can be achieved. The charger is designed based on three-phase series resonant inverter followed by air cooled set-up transformers thus it has many advantages of lower weight, small size and high efficiency compared with large bulky traditional pulse charger system. Detail design procedure of resonant inverter and high voltage transformers is explained. Experimental results carried out at different condition and its results shows 90% efficiency at full load condition.

Silent gas discharge method has been widely applied fur ozone production, ultraviolet light and UV laser generation. Since ozone and ultraviolet applications have tendency to spread widely in industry, the development of efficient and low - cost power supply for such systems is an important task at present. This paper introduces high-frequency inverter type mode power supply designed fur ozone generation tube and ultraviolet generation excimer lamp and considerations on the design of the inverter and pulse density modulation control strategy applied in it.

This paper describes the 40kV solid state pulsed power supply for environmental applications. The output specifications of the pulsed power supply are 40kV, 300A, 3kHz, and average output power of 13kW. In order to generate a high voltage, a series stacking cell structure is used which is charged in parallel and discharged in series. Due to this structure, there is no dynamic voltage balancing problem as well as static voltage balancing problem for switches used in high voltage pulse power supplies. To verify this pulse power supply design, PSpice modeling was performed. Finally, experimental results with non-inductive resistive load and gas treatment reactor proved the reliability of the solid state pulsed power supply.
