This paper presents a detailed theoretical analysis and performance assessment of the capacitor voltage balancing strategies for staircase modulated modular multilevel converters (MMC) in terms of the algorithm structures, voltage balancing effect, and switching frequency. A constant-frequency redundancy selection (CFRS) method with minimal switching loss is proposed and the function realization of specific modules of the algorithm is given. This method is simple and efficient in both switching frequency and regulation capacity. Laboratory results show very good agreement with the theoretical analysis and numerical simulations.

In this study, slip frequency control for a single-sided linear induction motor(SLIM) is discussed. We adopted variable slip frequency pattern in stead of constant slip frequency pattern under V/f constant mode, which is effective in improving driving efficiency of SLIM. And the dynamic characteristics are analyzed by using equivalent circuit during the accelerating time.

The main issue of parallel three-phase boost converters is reduction of the low- and high frequency circulating currents. Most present technologies concentrate on low frequency circulating current because the circulating current controller cannot mitigate the high frequency circulating current. In this paper, analytical approach of three-phase coupled inductor applied to parallel system becomes an important objective to effectively reduce the low- and high frequency circulating currents. The characteristics of three-phase coupled inductor based on a structure and voltage equations are mathematically derived. The modified voltage equations are then applied to parallel three-phase boost converters to develop averaged models in stationary coordinates and rotating coordinates. Based on the averaged modeling approach, design of the circulating current controller is presented. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the analysis and modeling for the parallel three-phase boost converters using three-phase coupled inductor.

A new type of photonic bandgap(PBG) structures that consist of arrays of spiral metal patches is proposed in this paper. Reflection phases and radiation of these PBG structures are simulated by high frequency structure simulator(HFSS) to characterize their performance. The simulation results show that the resonant frequency of the proposed PBG structures gets significantly lower than those of the PBG structures with square metal patches, but that the radiation is nearly the same for both of the PBG structures. Analysis on reflection phases reveals that the lowering of the resonant frequency is associated with the increase in capacitance.

This paper presents a novel prototype of the utility-interfaced sinusoidal pulse width modulated (SPWM) inverter using the high-frequency flyback transformer fur the small-scale solar photo-voltaic power conditioner (1kW - 4kW). The proposed SPWM power conditioner circuit with a high-frequency link has a function of electrical isolation, which is vital fur solar photovoltaic power conditioner systems with the viewpoint of safety and convenience. The discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation of the flyback transformer is also maintained to simplify the topology of the inverter circuit and control scheme. First, the operating principle of the proposed circuit is described far the understanding of the circuit parameters establishment. Then, the digitally constructed SPWM control scheme is presented. The proposed circuit is verified by the computer simulation and the prototype experiment.

This paper proposes a sensorless control approach for Wound Rotor Synchronous Machines (WRSMs) based on a high frequency voltage signal injection into the stator side U phase and VW line, respectively. Considering the machine itself as a rotor position sensor, the rotor position observer is established according to the principles of the rotary transformer. A demodulation method for the high frequency signal inducted in the rotor is proposed as well. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed sensorless control approach has high performance and good practicability.

LOOP(Loss of Offsite Power) and SBO(Station Blackout) events have been occurring in nuclear power plants should be reviewed and be controlled on important electrical equipments by professional engineer to prevent and to safety improvement from safety assessment and reliability analysis report. LOOP and SBO occasionally happened by internal or external causes. This paper contained that LOOP frequency in the United States NPPs and in the domestic NPPs have compared and analyzed data by the past lessons and probabilistic statistics. Additionally will be installed MG(Mobile Generator) according to the lessons of Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, which CDF(Core Damage Frequency) and LOOP frequency have reconsidered. And this paper proposed to reduce reliability criteria using PSA(Probabilistic Safety Analysis).

In the paper the eddy current loss in brushless DC motor due to switching frequency supplied by PWM inverter, is analyzed. The compensated conductivity is used in order to analyze the eddy current loss in brushless DC motor which has lamination structure. The eddy current loss is deceased when switching frequency supplied by PWM inverter is gradually increased from 1.2kHz up to 12kHz. The high switching frequency of PWM inverter make the output wave into a similar sine wave and this leads to the decreasing eddy current loss.

This paper summarizes the recent fabrication and characterizations of flexible high-speed radio frequency (RF) transistors, PIN-diode single-pole single-throw switches, as well as flexible inductors and capacitors, based on single-crystalline Si nanomembranes transferred on polyethylene terephthalate substrates. Flexible thin-film transistors (TFTs) on plastic substrates have reached RF operation speed with a record cut-off/maximum oscillation frequency ($f_T/f_{max}$) values of 3.8/12 GHz. PIN diode switches exhibit excellent ON/OFF behaviors at high RF frequencies. Flexible inductors and capacitors compatible with high-speed TFT fabrication show resonance frequencies ($f_{res}$) up to 9.1 and 13.5 GHz, respectively. Robust mechanical characteristics were also demonstrated with these high-frequency passives components.

The rotational force of ultrasonic motors is able to get from the frictional force of elliptical vibration by contact between rotor and stator. Generally, ultrasonic motors are suitable for driving at resonant frequencies of about 20∼80［KHz］. The driving characteristics of ring type ultrasonic motors are the object of this study. A two-phase driving signal is delivered to the tested ultrasonic motor, which has a $90^0$ phase difference respectively with both sine and cosine voltage waveforms. The driving frequency is almost equal to the mechanical resonant frequency for the proper operation, and the driving signal is supplied by the two-phase parallel resonant inverter. The validity of the proposed driving method is verified by experimental results with stable operation.
