Current imbalance is the main factor affecting the lifespan of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting systems and is generally solved by active or passive approaches. Given many new lighting applications, independent control is particularly important in achieving different levels of luminance. Existing passive and active approaches have their own limitations in current sharing and independent control, which bring new challenges to the design of LED drivers. In this work, a multichannel resonant converter based on switched-capacitor control (SCC) is proposed for solving this challenge. In the resonant network of the upper and lower half-bridges, SCC is used instead of fixed capacitance. Then, the individual current of the LED array is obtained through regulation of the effective capacitance of the SCC under a fixed switching frequency. In this manner, the complexity of the control unit of the circuit and the precision of the multichannel outputs are further improved. Finally, the superior performance of the proposed LED driver is verified by simulations and a 4-channel experimental prototype with a rated output power of 20 W.

To date, induction motors have mainly been used for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications, however, there is significant research being done world-wide on the use of switched reluctance motor(SRM) in household home appliances. This papers proposes three phase SRM for the air-conditioner blower that has cost merit and good performance respectively compared with conventional induction motor.

This paper describes a collaborative work between SEI and KEPCO on the Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage system (SMES). We have studied two types of magnets. One is the 400kJ class LTS-SMES for testing the power stabilization operated at liquid helium temperature (4.2K) and the other is the 100J class HTS-SMES for confirming the possibility of applying HTS wire to SMES at liquid nitrogen temperature (77k). In this paper, the design of the magnet and the test results are described. Each magnet performed completely at rated operation.

The current boost type atatic excitation system for synchronous generator that can sustain prope output voltage level even at fault condition is proposed. The proposed excitation system is capabl of supplying level 60% of the rated voltage. The proposed system is verified and tested using computer simulations as well as load tests. The load tests are performed with a 5KVA synchronous generator driven by a ac motor. The actual tests results indicated a good performance.

This paper proposes the efficiency improvement method of vvcf-induction motor drives, which operates always at rated speed, regardless of load conditions, with counter emf estimation. The counter emf is estimated by detecting the fundamental component of motor input current, which is employed in speed control algorithm through the comparison with the actual counter emf during the nonconduction interval. The input power reduction by speed control is confirmed through simulations and experimental results.

In this paper a method is proposed to optimize the inductor design of PFC boost converter with maximum efficiency at rated load. The variables of switching frequency, the number of turns, core size and permeability are selected to improve the efficiency. The experimental result shows the proposed inductor design method can lead a higher efficiency when compared with the typical inductor design method.
