This paper deals with an application of Teager Energy Operator (TEO) and Energy Separation Algorithm(ESA) to detect and determine various voltage waveform distortions like harmonics, inter-harmonics and frequency variation. Because the TEO and DESA algorithm was initially proposed for speech or communication analysis, its applications are limited to some types of waveform in the power quality analysis area. For example, an undistorted voltage signal is similar with a pure sinusoid. A voltage fluctuation is very similar with an amplitude-modulated signal, from the viewpoint of signal theory. And a continuous frequency variation is similar with a frequency-modulated signal, which is also known as a chirp signal. This paper is written to show that the TEO and DESA algorithm can be used for detecting occurrences of the representative waveform distortions and determining their instantaneous information of amplitude and frequency.

A novel converter-free AC LED driver that is highly resistant to the fluctuation of AC voltage is proposed in this study. By removing large passive components, such as the bulky capacitor and the large-value inductor, the integration of the driver circuit is enhanced while the driving current remains stable. The proposed circuit provides LED lamps with a driving current that can follow the sinusoid waveform to obtain a very high power factor (PF) and low total harmonic distortion (THD). The LED input current produced by this driving current is insensitive to fluctuations in the AC voltage. Users will thus not feel that LED lamps are flashing during the fluctuation. Experiment results indicate that the proposed system can obtain PF of 0.999 and THD as low as 3.3% for a five-string 6 W LED load under 220 V at 50 Hz.

This paper describes a new baseline wandering elimination algorithm for ECG based on waveform morphology analysis. The algorithm uses two slope tracing waves to separate the baseline wandering from ECG and approximates the separated baseline wandering to a corresponding sinusoid, and finally, subtracts the approximated sinusoid from the original ECG. The two slope tracing waves, the descending slope tracing wave and the ascending slope tracing wave, were developed for efficient determination of slope inverting points and sudden slope changing points. The algorithm has been applied to MIT/BIH database to verify its efficacy and validity in practical applications.

In case of operating at Variable speed the induction motor by a frequency transformer, it will cause ripples in motor torque and considerably bad effects on the machines because the output side of the frequency transformer involves a great number of harmonics. This paper Presents the methods of decreasing torque ripples in induction motor and of improving current waveform, by means of forming the waveforms of output current into multi-step waveforms similiar to sinusoid, and also by means of eliminating the harmonic components maximally, in case of operating a 18-phase multi-inverter combining 3-step current source inverter.

This paper presents a study on the cycloconverter with a LC resonant circuit for a induction motor drive which keeps the Input displacement factor at 1.0 by controlling real and reactive power independently under any load conditions. The input and the output current waveforms are sinusoid, and consequently Input power factor is nealy 1.0. In this paper, the operating principles of this cycloconverter, the control algorithms, the waveform analyses, and the characteristics of the system are described. The volts/hertz control of the induction motor is experimented, and the reasonability of this proposal is verified.

In this paper, authors propose a novel step-up AC-DC chopper operated with power factor correction (PFC) and with high efficiency. The proposed chopper behaves with discontinuous current control (DCC) of input current. The input current waveform in the proposed chopper is got to be a discontinuous sinusoid form in proportion to magnitude of ac input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching. Therefore, the input power factor is nearly unity and the control method is simple. In the general DCC chopper, the switching devices are turned-on with the zero current switching, but turn-off of the switching devices is switched at current maximum value. To achieve a soft switching of the switching turn-off, the proposed chopper is used a new partial resonant circuit. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of chopper is high.

This work focuses on the evaluation of active power filter which is controlled by fuzzy logic and neural network based controller for harmonic mitigation and power factor enhancement. The APF consists of a variable DC voltage source and a DC/AC inverter. The task of an APF is to make the line current waveform as close as possible to a sinusoid in phase with the line voltage by injecting the compensation current. The compensation current is estimated using adaptive neural network. Using the estimated current, the proposed APF is controlled using neural network and fuzzy logic. Computer simulations of the proposed APF are performed using MATLAB. The results show that the proposed techniques for the evaluation of APF can reduce the total harmonic distortion less than 3% and improve the power factor of the system to almost unity.

The Pohang Light Source (PLS) is a third generation 2 GeV synchrotron machine. An injection kicker modulator is positioned in the PLS storage ring tunnel. The kicker modulator is driving four kicker magnets simultaneously. The kicker magnets produce magnetic field to deflect the stored beam orbit in the storage ring closer to the injected beam from the PLS beam transfer line. The injected beam then falls into the storage ring beam dynamic aperture. The current kicker modulator was upgraded and installed on August 1995. Since then, the kicker modulator has shown very reliable and stable performance. The kicker modulator specifications are ${\sim}6.0{\mu}s$ full width, ${\sim}24$ kA peak current, and 10 Hz repetition rate. Output current waveform is a half sinusoid. Two thyratron switches(EEV CX-1536AX) are used in the kicker modulator. Total accumulated thyratron heater run hour is about 15,000 hours as of May 1998. Measurement result of spatial magnetic field distribution in the kicker magnet shows good uniformity.

본 논문에서는 고역률과 고효율로 동작하는 새로운 스텝-업 AC-DC 초퍼에 대해 제안한다. 제안한 초퍼는 전류 불연속제어로 구동되고, 스위치의 듀티율 일정제어에 의해 입력전류는 교류 입력전압의 크기에 비례된 불연속적인 정현파 형태로 주어진다. 그 결과 입력역률은 거의 단위역률로 되고, 듀티율 일정제어에 의해 제안한 초퍼는 제어기법이 간단하게 된다. 일반적으로 전류불연속 제어에 의한 초퍼의 경우, 사용된 스위치의 턴-온 동작은 영전류 스위칭으로 되는 장점이 있지만, 스위치의 턴-오프 동작은 최대 전류에서 스위칭되어 스위칭 손실을 증대시키고 스위치의 과중한 스트레스를 가져오게 된다. 이것은 AC-DC 초퍼의 효율을 저하시키는 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 부분공진기법에 의한 새로운 소프트 스위칭 회로가 설계되어 사용된 제어스위치들의 턴-온, 턴-오프 동작을 소프트 스위칭으로 만들어 초퍼의 효율을 증대시킨다.
