This paper presents a new prototype of soft-switching DC-DC power converter with a high frequency transformer link which has two active power controlled switches in full bridge rectifier with capacitor input type smoothing filter. In this DC-DC converter, ZVS of the inverter in transformer primary side and ZCS of active rectifier area in secondary side can be completely achieved by taking advantage of parasitic inductor component of high-frequency transformer and loss less snubbing capacitors. Its operation principle and salient features are described. The steady-state operating characteristics of the proposed DC-DC power converter are illustrated and discussed on the basis of the simulation results in addition to the experimental ones obtained by 2kw-40kHz power converter breadboard set up.

A delay switching PLL (DSPLL) is proposed for improvement of the frequency acquisition Performance (pull-in range) while keeping a narrow bandwidth LPF. It has, between the phase detector and the LPF, just a simple RC delay circuit, a switch and another phase detector controlling the switching time. For the common second order PLL, the pull-in capability of the DSPLL is analyzed approximately, without considering additive white noise effect, and verified experimentally. It is shown that the delay switching extends the pull-in range significantly, as much as a half of lock-range. At the phase tracking mode, the delay switching does not function, to make the DSPLL be a normal PLL.

Hamilton's Markov-switching model [5] was extended to the simultaneous equations model. A framework for an instrumental variable interpretation of full information maximum likelihood (FIML) by Hausman [4] can be used to deal with the problem of simultaneous equations based on the Hamilton filter [5]. A comparison of the proposed FIML Markov-switching model with the LIML Markov-switching models [1,2,3] revealed the LIML Markov-switching models to be a special case of the proposed FIML Markov-switching model, where all but the first equation were just identified. Moreover, the proposed Markov-switching model is a general form in simultaneous equations and covers a broad class of models that could not be handled previously. Excess sensitivity of marginal propensity to consume with big shocks, such as housing bubble bursts in 2008, can be determined by applying the proposed model to Campbell and Mankiw's consumption function [6], and allowing for the possibility of structural breaks in the sensitivity of consumption growth to income growth.

The switching frequency of a power device is a very important parameter in the design of a parallel active power filter (PAPF), but so far, very little discussion has been conducted on it in a quantitative manner in previous publications. In this paper, an extensive analysis on the effects of the switching frequency on the performance of a PAPF is made, and a specification of the switching frequency values with different compensation results is presented. A first-order inertia element and a second-order oscillation element are considered as approximate models of a PAPF, respectively. The compensation characteristic for each order of harmonic current is obtained at different switching frequencies. Then, the THDs of each model for the system loads of a rectifier with resistance and inductance loads are proposed. The compensation results of a PAPF controlled as a first-order inertia element are better than those of a PAPF controlled as a second-order oscillation element. With two types of system loads which are rectifier with resistance and inductance loads and rectifier with resistance, inductance and capacitance loads, the THDs of the source current after compensation are presented with different switching frequencies. The compensation characteristics for the most widely used digital control system are investigated. The situation with an analog control is the theoretical characteristic and it is the best situation. The compensation characteristic of the digital control is worse than the compensation characteristic of the theoretical characteristic. Based on these analyses, the specifications of compensation characteristics with different switching frequencies are quite straightforward. Finally, a practical design example is studied to verify the application.

In order to increase the power conversion efficiency and improve the power factor, a modified forward converter is proposed, which adopts a capacitive output filter instead of the inductive output filter of the conventional forward converter. Therefore, the proposed converter has wide input voltage range in opposite to that of the conventional forward converters. Moreover, the proposed converter uses the critical conduction mode for automatic current shaping to improve the power factor. As a result, the proposed converter can achieve quasi-resonant zero-voltage-switching, which can minimize the switching loss of main MOSFET. In addition, the operational principle of the proposed converter is analyzed and the characteristic of the proposed converter is investigated in this paper. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed converter, a prototype of 13W is implemented and the experimental results are discussed in more detail.

In the current source type active power filter, the DC current source is implemented using an inductor with large inductance by maintaining the inductor current constantly. In this case, to compensate the loss of the switching devices of the power converter and the inductor, some real power should be supplied to the filter from the source. This process is analyzed through the equivalent circuit which expresses the loss of the switching devices and the inductor with the equivalent resistor R. This work discusses the validation of this DC side equivalent circuit and points out the problems, through the experiments using the experimental active power filter with 220V, 10KVA ratings, and suggests a more accurate equivalent circuit which puts the saturation voltage of the power transistors and the threshold voltage of the diodes into consideration.

An advanced active power filter for the compensation of instantaneous harmonic current components in nonlinear current load is presented in this paper. A novel signal processing technique using an adaptive neural network algorithm is applied for the detection of harmonic components generated by three-phase nonlinear current loads and this method can efficiently determine the instantaneous harmonic components in real time. The control strategy of the switching signals to compensate current harmonics of the three-phase inverter is also discussed and its switching signals are generated with the space voltage vector modulation scheme. The validity of this active filtering processing system to compensate current harmonics is substantiated on the basis of simulation results.

The circuit breaker in an electric power system is not operated when the voltage in the circuit breaker is higher than the rated transient recovery voltage (TRV). The TRV of a circuit breaker is characterized by re-ignition of the arc between two poles and determined by the value of connecting impedance. In this study, we simulated the peak value of TRV in the AC filter of the circuit breaker. The suitability of TRV is assessed by capacitive current switching test conditions defined by the international guide IEC62271-100.

In this paper, we analyze on the effect of RC filter to mitigate transient overvoltage on the high voltage induction motor fed by H-bridge cascaded 7-level inverter. The switching surge voltage becomes the major cause to occur the insulation failure by serious voltage stress in the stator winding of high voltage induction motor. The effect of switching surge appears more serious in high voltage induction motor than low voltage induction motor. Consequently, we demonstrated that the RC filter connected to the motor terminals greatly reduces the transient voltage stress md ringing. The results of simulation show the suppression of transient overvoltage at the motor end of a long cable. using EMTP
