The grid voltage of commercial utility power source hi Japan and USA is 100rms, but in China and European countries, it is 200rms. In recent years, In Japan 200Vrms out putted single phase three wire system begins to be used for high power applications. In 100Vrms utility AC power applications and systems, an active voltage clamped quasi-resonant Inverter circuit topology using IGBTs has been effectively used so far for the consumer microwave oven. In this paper, presented is a half bridge type voltage-clamped high-frequency Inverter type AC-DC converter using which is designed for consumer magnetron drive used as the consumer microwave oven in 200V utility AC power system. This zero voltage soft switching Inverter can use the same power rated switching semiconductor devices and three-winding high frequency transformer as those of the active voltage clamped quasi-resonant Inverter using the IGBTs that has already been used for 100V utility AC power source. The operating performances of the voltage source single ended push pull type Inverter are evaluated and discussed for consumer microwave oven. The harmonic line current components In the utility AC power side of the AC-DC power converter operating at ZVS­PWM strategy reduced and improved on the basis of sine wave like pulse frequency modulation and sine wave like pulse width modulation for the utility AC voltage source.

해수의 산소요구량(COD; Chemical Oxygen Demand)을 수정진동자로 측정할 수 있는 지의 가능성을 검증하기 위하여 글루코오스 용액에서의 수정진동자의 전기화학적 특성을 조상하였다. 산소요구량을 측정하기 위해서 수정진동자의 표면이 산화되어야 하므로 상대적으로 활성이 있는 금속을 9 MHzAT형 수정진동자의 표면에 코팅하고 일정한 전위를 가할 때 전류와 공진저항의 변화를 조사함으로서 수정진동자의 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 수정진동자는 특별히 제작된 용기에 설치하였고 수정진동자 분석기가 공진주파수와 공진저항의 동시 측정에 사용되었다. 글루코오스의 농도 변화에 따른 측정치의 변화를 관찰하여 농도와 전기화학적 특성의 상관관계를 추적하였다. 이러한 특성조사의 결과 글루코오스 농도가 900 ppm 이하에서는 표준전극 기준 -180mV의 전위가 가해질 때 농도와 초기 최대전류 사이에 직선관계가 있음을 알 수 있었고 이를 이용하면 해수 중 글루코오스 농도를 측정할 수 있으며 글루코오스 농도와 화학적 산소 요구량 사이에 직접적인 관계가 있음을 고려할 때 수정진동자를 이용한 화학적 산소요구량의 측정이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 단일칩 마이크로컨트롤러를 이용하여 구현한 간단한 디지털 LCD 백라이트 인버터를 보고한다. 제안한 인버터는 냉음극형광램프(CCFL)의 점화전압을 감소시키고 전류스파이크를 제거함으로써 점화특성을 향상시켜 CCFL의 수명을 연장시킨다. 이것은 소프트스타팅 기법을 적용한 디지털 디밍제어 알고리즘을 단일칩 마이크로 컨트롤러에 구현함으로써 달성하였다. 인버터의 전력구조는 풀브리지 공진형 회로를 이용하였다. 간략한 해석 결과에 따른 설계 예를 제시하였고, 이에 근거하여 구현된 프로토타입의 실험결과는 이론적 해석과 설명이 정확하게 일치함을 보였다. 전체 시스템의 효율은 약 85%였으며, 디밍제어 동작 시에 CCFL의 점화는 전류스파이크가 없이 이루어졌고 점화전압은 기존의 구조에 비해 약 30% 정도 감소하였다.

전자, 통신 기술의 발달로 대부분의 장소에서 전자기기가 존재한다. 자동차, 열차, 항공기 등 다양한 장소에서 전자기기의 활용이 증가된 만큼 고출력 전자기파로 인한 오작동과 하드웨어의 치명적인 손상을 확인할 수 있는 안전성을 연구하는 것이 중요하게 되었다. 구조물 내부에 전자기기 및 여러 센서를 연결하는 케이블은 전자기파에 의한 오작동을 초래할 수 있는 원인 중 하나이기 때문에 전자파 영향에 대한 해석이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 상관관계 함수와 전송이론을 이용하여, 전기적으로 큰 공진기 내부에 존재하는 케이블에 유기되는 전류를 계산해 외부 전자기파에 의한 영향을 해석하였다.

This paper presents a novel circuit topology of a DC bus line series switch and parallel snubbing capacitor-assisted soft-switching PWM full-bridge inverter type DC-DC power converter with a high frequency planar transformer link, which is newly developed for high performance arc welding machines in industry. The proposed DC-DC power converter circuit is based upon a voltage source-fed H type full-bridge soft-switching PWM inverter with a high frequency transformer. This DC-DC power converter has a single power semiconductor switching device in series with an input DC low side rail and loss less snubbing capacitor in parallel with the inverter bridge legs. All the active power switches in the full-bridge arms and DC bus line can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off transition commutation. Consequently, the total switching power losses occurred at turn-off switching transition of these power semiconductor devices; IGBTs can be reduced even in higher switching frequency bands ranging from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. The switching frequency of this DC-DC power converter using IGBT power modules can be realized at 60 kHz. It is proved experimentally by power loss analysis that the more the switching frequency increases, the more the proposed DC-DC power converter can achieve a higher control response performance and size miniaturization. The practical and inherent effectiveness of the new DC-DC converter topology proposed here is actually confirmed for low voltage and large current DC-DC power supplies (32V, 300A) for TIG arc welding applications in industry.

The effective cross sections (XSs) in the direct whole core calculation code nTRACER are evaluated by the equivalence theory-based resonance-integral-table method using the WIMS-based library as an alternative to the subgroup method. The background XSs, as well as the Dancoff correction factors, were evaluated by the enhanced neutron-current method. A method, with pointwise microscopic XSs on a union-lethargy grid, was used for the generation of resonance-interference factors (RIFs) for mixed resonant absorbers. This method was modified by the intermediate-resonance approximation by replacing the potential XSs for the non-absorbing moderator nuclides with the background XSs and neglecting the resonance-elastic scattering. The resonance-escape probability was implemented to incorporate the energy self-shielding effect in the spectrum. The XSs were improved using the proposed method as compared to the narrow resonance infinite massbased method. The RIFs were improved by 1% in $^{235}U$, 7% in $^{239}Pu$, and >2% in $^{240}Pu$. To account for thermal feedback, a new feature was incorporated with the interpolation of pre-generated RIFs at the multigroup level and the results compared with the conventional resonance-interference model. This method provided adequate results in terms of XSs and k-eff. The results were verified first by the comparison of RIFs with the exact RIFs, and then comparing the XSs with the McCARD calculations for the homogeneous configurations, with burned fuel containing a mixture of resonant nuclides at different burnups and temperatures. The RIFs and XSs for the mixture showed good agreement, which verified the accuracy of the RIF evaluation using the proposed method. The method was then verified by comparing the XSs for the virtual environment for reactor applicationbenchmark pin-cell problem, as well as the heterogeneous pin cell containing burned fuel with McCARD. The method works well for homogeneous, as well as heterogeneous configurations.

This paper presents a new hybrid soft switching dc-dc converter with a low circulating current and high circuit efficiency. The proposed hybrid converter includes two sub-converters sharing two power switches. One is a three-level PWM converter and the other is a LLC converter. The LLC converter and the three-level converter share the lagging-leg switches and extend the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) range of the lagging-leg switches from nearly zero to full load since the LLC converter can be operated at f_sw (switching frequency) $\approx$ f_r (series resonant frequency). A passive snubber is used on the secondary side of the three-level converter to decrease the circulating current on the primary side, especially at high input voltage and full load conditions. Thus, the conduction losses due to the circulating current are reduced. The output sides of the two converters are connected in series. Energy can be transferred from the input voltage to the output load within the whole switching period. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed converter is verified by experiments with a 1.44kW prototype circuit.

A new simple control method for active power filter, which can realize the complete compensation of harmonics is proposed. In the proposed scheme, a model-based digital current control strategy is presented. The proposed control system is designed and implemented in a form referred to as internal model control structure. This method provides a convenient way for parameterizing the controller in term of the nominal system model, including time-delays. As a result, the resulting controller parameters are directly set based on the power circuit parameters, which make tuning of the controllers straightforward task. In the proposed control algorithm, overshoots and oscillations due to the computation time delay is prevented by explicit incorporating of the delay in the controller transfer function. In addition, a new compensating current reference generator employing resonance model implemented by a DSP(Digital Signal Processor) is introduced. Resonance model has an infinite gain at resonant frequency, and it exhibits a band-pass filter. Consequently, the difference between the instantaneous load current and the output of this model is the current reference signal for the harmonic compensation.

The vibratory conveyors with electromagnetic drive are used for performing gravimetric flow of granular materials in processing industry. By realizing free vibrations of variable intensity and frequency over a wide range through application of the electromagnetic actuator, suitable power converter, and the corresponding controller, continuous conveyance of granular materials have been provided for various operating conditions. Standard power output stages intended for control of vibratory conveyance using thyristors and triacs. Phase angle control can only accomplish tuning of amplitude oscillations, but oscillation frequency cannot be adjusted by these converters. Application of current controlled transistor converters enables accomplishing the amplitude and/or frequency control. Their use implies the excitation of a vibratory conveyor independent of the supply network frequency. In addition, the frequency control ensures operation in the region of mechanical resonance. Operation in this region is favourable from the energy point of view, since it requires minimal energy consumption. The paper presents a possible solution and advantages of the amplitude-frequency control of vibratory conveyors by means of a current controlled power converter.

Electrical gate and drain characteristics of double heterostructure InAlAs/InGaAs pseudomorphic HEMTs have been investigated under sub-bandgap photonic excitation ($hv). Drain $(V_{DS})-,{\;}gate($V_{DS})-$, and optical power($P_{opt}$)-dependent variation of the abnormal gate leakage current and associated physical mechanisms in the PHEMTs have been characterized. Peak gate voltage ($V_{GS,P}$) and the onset voltage for the impact ionization ($V_{GS.II}$) have been extracted and empirical model for their dependence on the $V_{DS}$ and $P_{opt} have been proposed. Anomalous gate and drain current, both under dark and under sub-bandgap photonic excitation, have been modeled as a parallel connection of high performance PHEMT with a poor satellite FET as a parasitic channel. Sub-bandgap photonic characterization, as a function of the optical power with $h\nu=0.799eV$, has been comparatively combined with those under dark condition for characterizing the bell-shaped negative humps in the gate current and subthreshold drain leakage under a large drain bias.
