A light-emitting diode (LED) has been increasingly applied to various industrial fields and general lightings because of its high efficiency, low power consumption, environment-friendly characteristic and long lifetime. To drive this LED lighting, various types of power converters have been applied. Also, power factor correction (PFC) techniques play an important role in the power supply technology. In this paper, design and control of a DCM interleaved boost PFC converter is discussed. The proposed converter can reduce current ripples at input and output side by cancelling an each phase of inductor currents. Since the IC does not require the auxiliary winding of inductor for current detection, simple PFC circuit is achieved. Therefore, it contributes to increase efficiency and downsize the whole system volume, cost. Also, the performance of the proposed system is demonstrated through experiments.

This paper describes a simple but effective method for energy saving of ac motors having a widely variable load. The proposed method is based on an optimal efficiency control which is operated by voltage-current pattern such as to maintain the maximum efficiency on the efficiency-output characteristics of the motor, in voltage control with triac. In this paper, authors present the experimental results of the SPIM under controlling of current of main and auxiliary winding by using a one chip microcontroller. Experiments are focused on a capacitor stating single phase induction motor the optimal energy saving are proved by the proposed method.

In this paper, a tightly regulated triple output asymmetrical half bridge flyback (ASHF) converter is proposed. In order to regulate all output voltages, pulse frequency modulation (PFM), pulse width modulation (PWM) and phase delay (PD) are used simultaneously. In comparison with the conventional PWM-PD method, the interactions among the control variables are minimized and the operating range is increased. By the utilization of a multi winding transformer, the auxiliary transformer and the blocking capacitor are eliminated and the size and cost of the proposed converter is reduced. The operation principle of the converter is explained and the modes of operation are investigated. Based on the results, the steady state characteristics of the converter are explored. A 24V/10A, 12V/5A, 5V/10A hardware prototype is built and tested to verify the analysis results and the voltage regulation of the triple outputs of the proposed converter.

This paper describes the vector control of a single-phase induction motor drive system to improve the dynamic performance for low power applications. Using auxiliary winding which is only utilized for starting, the single-phase induction motor is regarded as the unsymmetrical two-phase motor. This paper shows that the vector control of single-phase induction motor with new method achieves the high performance of the motor. The results of the new method are illustrated by the simulations.

This paper presents methods to achieve and control accurate output voltage. PSR removed secondary output voltage sensing circuit, therefore standby power loss can be decreased. When sensing the auxiliary winding voltage, sensing must be done at accurate branch which has $V_O$ information. For this reason this paper presents the PSR sensing technique using sawtooth wave and peak detector. Circuit verification carried out with Spectre in Cadence corporation and Manga/Hynix $0.35{\mu}m$ 700V process.

The recent emphasis on energy conservation demands an improvement of the efficiency of single-phase induction motors. To take the efficiency operation of the capacitor run single-phase induction motor with auxiliary and main winding, it is very important to select the capacitance value. This paper describes the theoretical analysis method of a single-phase induction motor which is based on the rotating field theory, using the method of symmetrical components. The optimal selection method of capacitance is proposed.

In this paper, a novel scheme to eliminate common-mode voltage (CMV) is proposed for three-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) inverters. In the proposed scheme, a low-power full-bridge converter is utilized to produce compensatory voltage for CMV, which is injected into an NPC inverter through a single-phase four-winding transformer. With the proposed circuit, the power range for applications is not limited, and the maximum modulation index of the inverter is not reduced. These features are suitable for high-power medium-voltage machine drives. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experimental results.

A novel 12/10 axial field switched reluctance motor (AF-SRM) is proposed for cooling fan applications in this paper. Unlike from conventional structures, the proposed motor uses the axial field instead of the radio field, the rotor is constructed from a series of discrete segments, and the stator poles are constructed from two types of stator poles: exciting and auxiliary poles. This concept improves the torque capability of a previous design by reducing the copper volume, which leads to a higher efficiency. To verify the proposed structure, the finite element method (FEM) and Matlab-Simulink are employed to get characteristics of the proposed SRM. Finally, a prototype of the proposed motor was tested for characteristic comparisons.
