This paper presents the control algorithm of a single-phase AC/DC/AC PWM converter for the linear compressor of a refrigerator. The AC/DC/AC converter consists of a full-bridge PWM converter for the control of the input power factor and a half-bridge PWM inverter for the control of the single-phase linear compressor. At the DC-link of this topology, two capacitors are connected in series. These DC-link voltages must be balanced for safe operation. Thus, a new control method of DC voltage balancing for the half-bridge PWM inverter is proposed. The balancing algorithm uses the Integral-Proportional controller and inserts the DC-offset current at the Proportional-Resonant current controller of the inverter to solve the DC-link unbalanced voltages between the two capacitors. The proposed algorithm can be easily implemented without much computation and additional hardware circuit. The usefulness of the proposed algorithm is verified through several experiments.

Recently, the demand of LED(light-emitting diode) lighting is gradually enlarged by governmental saveenergy policy, which the LED lighting has been established compulsorily in new buildings, public institutions, and residential installations etc.. The LED lighting is driven by SMPS (switching mode power supply). The SMPS requires high efficiency because the SMPS changes a commercial ac power source to low voltage dc power source. Harmonic components that occur in the conversion process of SMPS decrease system power factor and deal great damage in electric power system. To improve such problems, this paper proposes a SMPS of high efficiency. The switching devices in the proposed SMPS are operated by soft switching technique using a new quasi-resonant circuit. The input ac current waveform in the proposed SMPS becomes a quasi-sinusoidal waveform proportional to the magnitude of input ac voltage under constant switching frequency. As a result, the proposed SMPS obtains low switching power loss and high efficiency, and its input power factor is nearly in unity.

Composite air spindles are appropriate for the high-speed and the high-precision machining as small hole drilling of printed circuit board (PCB) or wafer cutting for manufacturing semiconductors because of the low rotational inertia, the high damping ratio and the high fundamental natural frequency of composite shaft. The axial load and stiffness of composite air spindles fur drilling operation are determined by the thrust ben ring composed of the air supply part mounted on the housing and the rotating part mounted on the rotating shaft. At high-speed rotation, the rotating part of the thrust bearing should be designed considering the stresses induced by centrifugal force as well as the axial stiffness and the natural frequency of the rotating shaft to void the shaft from failure due to the centrifugal force and resonant vibration. In this work, the air supply part of the thrust bearing was designed considering the bending stiffness of the bearing and the applied load. The rotating part of the thrust bearing was designed through finite element analysis considering the cutting forces during manufacturing as well as the static and dynamic characteristics under both the axial and con trifugal forces during high-speed rotation.

In mobile phones of multimedia era, microspeakers of high quality sound are essential parts to generate human voice in speaker phone and MP3 song player. In this paper, two types of microspeakers, outer permanent magnet (PM) and combined PM type, are analyzed using electromagnetic, mechanical, acoustical and their coupling analysis. For performance comparison, voice coil diameter is chosen as a design parameter to change excitation position and magnet volume for both types. For combined PM type, sound pressure level (SPL) is improved due to increased PM volume compared to outer PM type. Also, with the decreased voice coil diameter for combined PM type, the 1st resonant mode of the diaphragm is more efficiently excited due to concentrative excitation, resulting in lower and broader frequency range. Therefore, it can be said that the combined PM type microspeakers are more advantageous for high performance microspeaker which are essential for multimedia era.

In this paper, a secondary resonance half-bridge dc-dc converter with an inductive output filter is presented. The primary side of such a converter utilizes asymmetric pulse width modulation (APWM) to achieve zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of the switches, and clamps the voltage of the switch to the input voltage. In addition, zero current switching (ZCS) of the output diode is achieved by a half-wave rectifier circuit with a filter inductor and a resonant branch in the secondary side of the proposed converter. Thus, the switching losses and diode reverse-recovery losses are eliminated, and the performance of the converter can be improved. Furthermore, an inductive output filter exists in the converter reduce the output current ripple. The operational principle, performance analysis and design equation of this converter are given in this paper. The analysis results show that the output diode voltage stress is independent of the duty cycle, and that the voltage gain is almost linear, similar to that of the isolation Buck-type converter. Finally, a 200V~380V input, 24V/2A output experimental prototype is built to verify the theoretical analysis.

In this paper, a novel zero-voltage and zero-current switching (ZVZCS) interleaved two switch forward converter is proposed. By using a coupled-inductor-type smoothing filter, a snubber capacitor, the parallel capacitance of the leading switches and the transformer parasitic inductance, the proposed converter can realize soft-switching for the main power switches. This converter can effectively reduce the primary circulating current loss by using the coupled inductor and the snubber capacitor. Furthermore, this converter can reduce the reverse recovery loss, parasitic ringing and transient voltage stress in the secondary rectifier diodes caused by the leakage inductors of the transformer and the coupled inductance. The operation principle and steady state characteristics of the converter are analyzed according to the equivalent circuits in different operation modes. The practical effectiveness of the proposed converter was is illustrated by simulation and experimental results via a 500W, 100 kHz prototype using the power MOSFET.

Traditional boost converters have difficulty realizing high efficiency and high voltage gain conversion due to 1) extremely large duty cycles, 2) high voltage and current stresses on devices, and 3) low conversion efficiency. Therefore, a function decoupling high voltage gain DC/DC converter composed of a DC transformer (DCX) and an auxiliary converter is proposed. The role of DCX is to realize fixed gain conversion with high efficiency, whereas the role of the auxiliary converter is to regulate the output voltage. In this study, different forms of combined high voltage gain converters are compared and analyzed, and a structure is selected for the function decoupling high voltage gain converter. Then, topologies and control strategies for the DCX and auxiliary converter are discussed. On the basis of the discussion, an optimal design method for circuit parameters is proposed, and design procedures for the DCX are described in detail. Finally, a 400 W experimental prototype based on the proposed optimal design method is built to verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis. The measured maximum conversion efficiency at rated power is 95.56%.

Wireless power transfer via coupled magnetic resonances has been a hot research topic in recent years. In addition, the number of related devices has also been increasing. However, reverse signals transfer is often required in addition to wireless power transfer. The structure of the circuit for a wireless power transfer system via coupled magnetic resonances is analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of both parallel compensation and series compensation are listed. Then the compensation characteristics of the inductor, capacitor and resistor were studied and an appropriate compensation method was selected. The reverse signals can be transferred by controlling the compensation of the resistor. In addition, it can be demodulated by extracting the change of the primary current. A 3.3 MHz resonant frequency with a 100 kHz reverse signals transfer system platform was established in the laboratory. Experimental results demonstrate that wireless power and reverse signals can be transferred synchronously.

본 논문에서는 구조물의 손상탐지를 위한 두께 방향 모드 압전 오실레이터의 가능성을 연구하였다. 두께 방향 모드 오실레이터 센서는 구조물의 주요부에 부착된 두께 방향 모드 압전소자와 피드백 오실레이터 회로로 구성되어있다. 구조물의 손상은 구조물의 임피던스를 변화를 야기시키며, 그 결과로 구조물의 공진 주파수가 변하게 된다. 오실레이터 센서는 간단한 방법으로 이 공진 주파수 변화를 연속적으로 관측할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 시편에 크랙의 크기와 개수를 인위적으로 변화시키면서, FEM해석과 실험을 통해 두께 방향 모드 압전 오실레이터 센서의 적용 가능성을 증명 하였다.

고주파 유도가열장치는 LC 공진회로에 고주파 전원을 인가하여 금속을 가열 할 수 있다. 공진회로는 워크 코일과 전도 냉각 커패시터로 구성되며, 커패시터의 특성에 따라 열처리 설비의 성능을 좌우한다. 그러나 전도 냉각 커패시터는 국내 원천기술의 연구개발 부족으로 해외 수입 의존도가 높다. LC 공진 시 커패시터 내부의 발열을 최소화하고, 무효 전력손실을 줄이며, 내 전압특성이 우수한 커패시터가 요구된다. 국산화를 위하여, 선진 제조사의 완성품 커패시터의 주파수 응답 특성 분석에 대한 선행 연구가 필요하다. 주어진 로그-로그 특성 곡선의 임의 점에서 값을 읽기 위한 보간법을 연구하여 매틀랩 코딩으로 커패시터의 분석 도구로 적용하였다. 커패시터를 간단 화 된 RC 직렬 등가 회로로 가정하고, 등가 직렬 저항 ESL 값을 구하여 주파수 응답 특성 곡선을 재현하는 시뮬레이션을 시도하였다. 실제 무효전력의 피크 치에 대한 특성과 시뮬레이션 특성을 비교할 때 재현율이 83% 이상 결과 값으로 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 이 알고리즘은 간단화 된 모델의 커패시터 특성곡선을 분석하여 예측 할 때 적용이 가능하다.
