This paper presents a novel single-stage high-power-factor electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps operating in critical conduction mode. The proposed topology is based on integration of boost converter as power factor corrector(PFC) and a half-bridge high frequency parallel resonant inverter into a single stage. The input stage of the boost converter is operating in critical conduction mode for positive and negative half cycle voltage respectively at line frequency(60Hz). So that a boost converter makes the line current follow naturally the sinusoidal line voltage waveform. The simulated and experimental results for 100W fluorescent lamps operating at 42kHz switching frequency and 220V line voltage have been obtained. This proposed inverter will be able to be practically used as a power supply in various fields as induction heating applications, fluorescent lamp and DC-DC converter etc.

This paper proposes a single-stage interleaved soft-switching electrolytic capacitor-less EV charger with reduced component count and simple circuit structure. The proposed charger achieves ZVS turn-on of all switches and ZCS turn-off of all diodes without regard to voltage and load variation. It achieves high power density even without an input filter due to CCM operation and bulky electrolytic capacitors and without a low-frequency component in the transformer. A 2 kW prototype of the proposed charger with sinusoidal charging is built and tested to verify the validity of the proposed operation.

This paper reports the characteristics of piezoelectric microspeakers that are audible in open air with high quality piezoelectric AlN thin film according to the materials properties. When we use a tensile-stressed silicon nitride diaphragm as a supporting layer, the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) is relatively small. However, the SPL of the fabricated microspeakers that have compressive-stressed composite diaphragm show higher output pressure than those of tensile-stressed diaphragm. It produces more than 60dB from 100Hz to 15kHz and the highest SPL is about 100dB at 9.3kHz with 20 Vpeak-to-peak sinusoidal input biases and at 10 mm distances from the fabricated microspeakers to the reference microphone.

This paper presents performance comparison results of magneto-rheological (MR) brake in the sense of wear characteristics. To create wear circumstance, the brake is operated in 100 000 cycles by DC motor. To make wear test in same design parameters such as the radius of the housing, ferromagnetic disc and gap size, small sample of stainless are inserted in housing of MR brake. The performances of brake are compared between the initial stage (no wear) and 100 000 revolution cycles operated stage (wear). At each circumstance, torque of the brake is measured and compared by applying step current and sinusoidal control input. The controller used in this work is a simple, but effective PID controller. It is demonstrated that the wear behavior is more obvious as the operating cycle is increased in the torque control process.

This paper proposes a novel type of pressure control mechanism which can apply to vehicle ABS (anti-lock braking system) utilizing the piezoactuator based valve system associated with the pressure modulator. As a first step, a flapper-nozzle of a pneumatic valve system is devised by integrating the piezoacuator to the flexible beam structure. The dynamic modeling of the valve system is then undertaken and subsequently the governing equation of pressure control is derived considering the pressure modulator. A sliding mode controller is designed in order to achieve accurate pressure tracking control in the presence of actuator uncertainty as well as input pressure variation. It is shown through computer simulation that an accurate pressure tracking for sinusoidal motion whose magnitude is 40 bar is achieved by utilizing the proposed pressure control mechanism.

This paper presents an improved torque predictive control (TPC) for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) using an indirect matrix converter (IMC). The IMC has characteristics such as a high power density and sinusoidal waveforms of the input-output currents. Additionally, this configuration does not have any DC-link capacitors. Due to these advantages of the IMC, it is used in various application field such as electric vehicles and railway cars. Recently, research on various torque control methods for PMSM drives using an IMC is being actively pursued. In this paper, an improved TPC method for PMSM drives using an IMC is proposed. In the improved TPC method, the magnitudes of the voltage vectors applied to control the torque and flux of the PMSM are adjusted depending on the PMSM torque control such as the steady state and transient response. Therefore, it is able to reduce the ripples of the output current and torque in the low-speed and high-speed load ranges. Additionally, the improved TPC can improve the dynamic torque response when compared with the conventional TPC. The effectiveness of the improved TPC method is verified by experimental results.

This paper proposes the modulation and control of a three-to-six-phase matrix converter with an asymmetrical six-phase output. The matrix converter (MC) outputs consist of two sets of three-phase spatially shifted by $30^0$, where the two sets have two isolated neutrals. The space vector approach is considered for the modeling and subsequent modulation of the three-to-six phase MC. The intelligent selection of voltage space vectors is made to synthesize the reference voltages and to obtain a sinusoidal output. The dwell times of selected voltage space vectors are adjusted in such a way that the effect of the second and the third auxiliary plane vectors (i.e., x1-y1, and x2-y2) are nullified. To achieve the maximum output voltage gain and to ensure that no reactive power is drawn from the utility supply, the input side power factor is maintained at unity. Nevertheless, the source side power factor is controllable. The modulation technique is implemented in dSPACE working in conjunction with a FPGA. Hardware results that validate the proposed control algorithm are discussed.

Recently, hybrid and electric vehicles have been actively developed to replace internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. However, their vibrations and noise with complex spectra cause discomfort to drivers. To reduce the vibrations transmitted through primary excitation sources such as powertrains, structural changes have been introduced. However, the interference among different parts is a limitation. Thus, active mounting systems based on smart materials have been actively investigated to overcome these limitations. This study focuses on diminishing the source movement when a structure with two active mounting systems is excited to a single sinusoidal and a multi-frequency signal, which were investigated for source movement reduction. The overall structure was modeled based on the lumped parameter method. Active vibration control was implemented based on the modeled structure, and a multi-normalization least mean square (NLMS) algorithm was used to obtain the control input for the active mounting system. Furthermore, the performance of the NLMS algorithm was compared with that of the quantification method to demonstrate the performance of active vibration control. The results demonstrate that the vibration attenuation performance of the source component was improved.

본 논문은 고반복률을 갖는 양상태 소나 시스템에서의 송신 직접파로 인한 표적 탐지율 저하를 적응형 필터를 이용하여 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이러한 소나 시스템에서의 송신 직접파 제거는 실제 시스템을 운용하는 것에 치명적인 영향을 주기 때문에 이것을 제거하는 것이 아주 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션과 해상 실험 데이터에 Normalized Least Mean Square(NLMS)와 Recursive Least Square(RLS) 알고리즘을 적용하여 성능을 평가하였다. 송신 직접파 성분과 표적 신호가 포함된 표적 방위의 빔 신호를 입력 신호로 사용하고 송신 직접파 성분이 있는 송신기 방위의 빔 신호를 원하는 신호로 사용하여 두 신호의 차를 최적화 하여 송신 직접파를 제거하고 표적 신호만 남긴다. 시뮬레이션에서 정합필터의 결과를 확인하였을 때 Linear Frequency Modultated(LFM)과 Generalized Sinusoidal Frequency Modulated(GSFM) 모두에서 송신 직접파가 잡음레벨까지 제거되고 GSFM의 경우 표적의 부엽이 20 dB 이상 감소하여 성능 개선이 있는 것을 확인하였다. 해상 실험에서 LFM은 송신 직접파의 레벨이 10 dB 감소하였고, GSFM은 송신 직접파의 레벨이 약 4 dB 감소하였고, 표적의 부엽이 약 4 dB 정도 감소하여 성능 개선이 있다는 것이 확인되었다.

본 논문에서는 새로운 무손실 스너버 회로를 설계하여 적용한 PWM-PFC 스텝-업 컨버터에 대해 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 전류불연속 제어모드에 의해 제어회로 구성이 간단하고 회로 구성소자의 용량을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 입력전류는 스위치의 듀티율 일정제어에 의한 교류 입력전압의 크기에 비례한 불연속적인 펄스열의 정현파상으로 된다. 그 결과 입력역률은 거의 단위역률로 주어지고 듀티율 일정제어에 의해서 제안된 컨버터는 제어기법이 간단하게 된다. 일반적으로 입력전류 불연속제어에 의한 컨버터의 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 컨버터의 효율을 저하 시키는 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 부분공진 회로로 동작되는 새로운 무손실 스너버 회로를 설계하여 스위치들의 턴-온, 턴-오프 동작을 소프트 스위칭으로 만들어 컨버터의 효율을 더욱 증대시킨다 제안된 PWM-PFC 스텝-업 컨버터는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 그 타당성이 입증된다.
