This study proposes a single-stage light-emitting diode (LED) tube lamp driver with input-current shaping for T8/T10-type fluorescent lamp replacements. The proposed AC-DC LED driver integrates a dual-boost converter with coupled inductors and a half-bridge series-resonant converter with a bridge rectifier into a single-stage power conversion topology. This paper presents the operational principles and design considerations for one T8-type 18 W-rated LED tube lamp with line input voltages ranging from 100 V rms to 120 V rms. Experimental results for the prototype driver show that the highest power factor (PF = 0.988), lowest input current total harmonic distortion (THD = 7.22%), and highest circuit efficiency (η = 92.42%) are obtained at an input voltage of 120 V. Hence, the proposed driver is feasible for use in energy-efficient indoor lighting applications.

In this study, we proposed a new single-stage small power MH lamp electronic ballast and power-factor correction circuit with improved circuit by the current of passive power factor correction. Main circuit integrates traditional DC/DC and DC/AC circuits into one-stage DC/AC inverter. Moreover, we described the working principle and control strategy of the new circuit; it's soft switching principle; and resonant element parameter design formula. An experimental prototype of HID lamp electronic ballast with output power of 70 W was built to verify the feasibility of the analysis and design. The simulation and experimental results proved that the power factor of this circuit could reach 94%, with efficiency of 90%. The input current harmonics conform to IEC 61000-3-2 standards and its cost is low. These superior performances of the new circuit indicate certain practical values.

In this paper the effects of a Static Synchronous Series Compensator, which is constructed with a 48-pulse inverter, on the power demand from the grid are studied. Extensive simulation studies were carried out in the MATLAB simulation environment to observe the compensation achieved by the SSSC and its effects on the line voltage, line current, phase angle and real/reactive power. The designed device is simulated in a power system which is comprised of a three phase power source, a transmission line, line inductance and load. The system parameters such as line voltage, line current, reactive power Q and real power P transmissions are observed both when the SSSC is connected to and disconnected from the power system. The motivation for modeling a SSSC from a multi-pulse inverter is to enhance the voltage waveform of the device and this is observed in the total harmonic distortion (THD) analysis performed at the end of the paper. According to the results, the power flow and phase angle can be controlled successfully by the new device through voltage injection. Finally a THD analysis is performed to see the harmonics content. The effect on the quality of the line voltage and current is acceptable according to international standards.

This research paper describes the development of battery charger with a variable output voltage capacity for charging the batteries used in electrical vehicles. The voltage and current accordingly is control via the buck converter that receives three phase current at primary side and fed to bridge rectifier which is comprised of full bridge converter and HFTR(High Frequency Transformer) for isolation and a square wave AC output. The transformer primary side is in series to divide certain charging current and the secondary side is comprised of six fix transformers so that they can generate certain amount of power and various output voltage through relay connection using 6 DC outputs. Moreover, all parallel connected full bridge serial resonant converter communicate together with upper(main) controller. The constructed structure is verified by conducting the test on PSIM as well as experimentally.

In this paper, the input current and output voltage ripple of the soft switching interleaved boost converter was analyzed. Ripples of input current and output voltage with an interleaved method is analysed and as a result, the facts that it has lower ripple current than conventional interleaved method is verified. it means that a capacity of a main inductor can be reduced. Besides, a low capacitance of capacitor which means high lifetime and confidence can be used because of reducing ripples of output voltage. In order to verify the validity of the proposed converter used 10uF film capacitor, experiment was performed, and the efficiency of the proposed converter was measured with variable load and duty conditions.

We investigated theoretically the current-voltage characteristics of resonant tunneling diodes with a single quantum well structure, using a self-consistent method. This method is a numerical analysis which is able to include the effects of the undoped spacer layer and the band bending by charge accumulation and depletion on the contact layers, so that it is better suited to explain experimental results. The structure used is an $Al_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}$As/GaAs/$Al_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}As$ single quantum well. In this work, we estimate the theoretical current-voltage characteristics, and then, the dependence of the current-voltage curves on the thickness of undoped spacer layers.

This paper proposes the analysis and design of a DC-side symmetrical zero-current-switching (ZCS) Class-D current-source driven resonant rectifier to improve the low power-factor and high line current harmonic distortion of lighting applications. An analysis of the junction capacitance effect of Class-D ZCS rectifier diodes, which has a significant impact on line current harmonic distortion, is discussed in this paper. The design procedure is based on the principle of the symmetrical Class-D ZCS rectifier, which ensures more accurate results and provides a more systematic and feasible analysis methodology. Improvement in the power quality is achieved by using the output characteristics of the DC-side Class-D ZCS rectifier, which is inserted between the front-end bridge-rectifier and the bulk-filter capacitor. By using this symmetrical topology, the conduction angle of the bridge-rectifier diode current is increased and the low line harmonic distortion and power-factor near unity were naturally achieved. The peak and ripple values of the line current are also reduced, which allows for a reduced filter-inductor volume of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter. In addition, low-cost standard-recovery diodes can be employed as a bridge-rectifier. The validity of the theoretical analysis is confirmed by simulation and experimental results.

Grid-connected inverters (GCIs) with an LCL output filter have the ability of attenuating high-frequency (HF) switching ripples. However, by using only grid-current control, the system is prone to resonances if it is not properly damped, and the current distortion is amplified significantly under highly distorted grid conditions. This paper proposes a synchronous reference frame equivalent proportional-integral (SRF-EPI) controller in the αβ stationary frame using the parallel virtual resistance-based active damping (PVR-AD) strategy for grid-interfaced distributed generation (DG) systems to suppress LCL resonance. Although both a proportional-resonant (PR) controller in the αβ stationary frame and a PI controller in the dq synchronous frame achieve zero steady-state error, the amplitude- and phase-frequency characteristics differ greatly from each other except for the reference tracking at the fundamental frequency. Therefore, an accurate SRF-EPI controller in the αβ stationary frame is established to achieve precise tracking accuracy. Moreover, the robustness, the harmonic rejection capability, and the influence of the control delay are investigated by the Nyquist stability criterion when the PVR-based AD method is adopted. Furthermore, grid voltage feed-forward and multiple PR controllers are integrated into the current loop to mitigate the current distortion introduced by the grid background distortion. In addition, the parameters design guidelines are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Finally, simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the feasibility of the proposed control approach.

태양광 인버터는 계통과 태양광 시스템 사이의 공통 접속점에 고조파, 플리커, 고주파 노이즈가 없는 고품질 전력을 공급하는 핵심적인 역할을 한다. 일반적으로 비례-적분 (PI: Proportional Integral) 제어기는 정상상태 오차와 낮은 외란 제거 능력으로 인하여 교류 계통에서 만족할만한 성과를 얻지 못하나, 현장에서 이득 설정이 용이하므로 일반적으로 전압형 인버터 (VSI)에서 이용된다고 알려져 있다. 이 논문에서는 산업계에서 일반적으로 사용되는 비례-적분 제어기와 교류 계통의 상용주파수에서의 무한대의 이득 값을 가지며, 정상상태 에러 발생을 제거하며, 정지 좌표계에서 구현할 수 있는 비례-이득 (PR: Proportional Resonant) 제어기의 동작 원리, 설계 기법 등을 비교 분석하였다. PI와 PR 제어기의 분석 결과를 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 증명하였다. 두 제어기는 32-비트 고정소수점 연산을 하는 TMS320F2812 DSP 프로세서를 이용하여 구현하였고, 3kW 실험용 프로토타입 태양광 인버터를 제작하여 그 성능을 확인하였다.

협수로로 연결된 속초항과 청초호의 장주기파 공진을 검토하기 위하여 항내·외 8개 정점에서 파향·파고계, 초음파식 파고계, 수압식 파고계, 유속계 등을 이용하여 장·단주기파 현장관측을 실시하였다 자료 분석 결과 속초항과 청초호의 Helmholtz 공진 모드의 주기는 각각 13.6분과 54.5분으로 제시되었으며, 협수로 내 주된 유속의 출현 주기는 55.2분으로 청초호의 Helmholtz 공진 조건에 지배됨을 알 수 있었다. 저중력파로 인한 국부 부진동의 에너지 수준은 평상시보다 폭풍시에 훨씬 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 항내·외 정점에서의 저중력파 파고와 항외의 단주기파고에 대한 회귀분석 결과 양자는 거의 선형적인 상관 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 양자의 주기들, 단주기 파향과 저중력파 파고, 단주기 파고와 저중력파 주기 사이에는 특별한 상관 관계를 발견하지 못하였다. 한편, 향후 장기간 자료가 축적되면 속초항 해역에서의 저중력파 파고에 대한 극치 해석을 통하여 재현빈도별 저중력파 파고를 추정할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.
