This paper proposes a new active snubber boost PFC converter to provide a zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) turn-on condition and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise in home appliances and renewable energy applications, including solar or fuel cell electric systems. The proposed active snubber circuit enables a main boost switch of the boost-type PFC or grid converter to turn on under a ZVS condition and reduce the switching losses of the main boost switch. Moreover, for the purpose of a specialized intelligent power module (IPM) fabrication, the proposed boost circuit is designed to satisfy some design aspects such as space saving, low cost, and easy fabrication. Simulation and experimental results of a 2kW IPM boost-type PFC converter are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed active snubber boost circuit.

The purpose of this study is to develop a piezo injector driver for common-rail direct injection diesel engines. In this research, we analyzed the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the piezo actuator through experiments. Current flow and charging voltage of the piezo injector are controlled by the PWM signal of variable duty ratio in order to realize both fast response and low peak current. The optimal switching duty ratio was designed by modeling and analyzing of the piezo driver circuit. In order to avoid resonance and unacceptably long settling time, appropriate frequency range of the PWM signal was derived based on the driver circuit model. The developed injector driver was validated by experiments under various fuel rail pressure, injection duration, and charging voltage.

In this study, a new manufacturing process for a multilayer-clad electrical contact material is suggested. A thin and dense BCuP-5 (Cu-15Ag-5P filler metal) coating layer is fabricated on a Ag plate using a high-velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) process. Subsequently, the microstructure and bonding properties of the HVOF BCuP-5 coating layer are evaluated. The thickness of the HVOF BCuP-5 coating layer is determined as 34.8 ㎛, and the surface fluctuation is measured as approximately 3.2 ㎛. The microstructure of the coating layer is composed of Cu, Ag, and Cu-Ag-Cu3P ternary eutectic phases, similar to the initial BCuP-5 powder feedstock. The average hardness of the coating layer is 154.6 HV, which is confirmed to be higher than that of the conventional BCuP-5 alloy. The pull-off strength of the Ag/BCup-5 layer is determined as 21.6 MPa. Thus, the possibility of manufacturing a multilayer-clad electrical contact material using the HVOF process is also discussed.

A Cu-15Ag-5P filler metal (BCuP-5) is fabricated on a Ag substrate using a high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process, followed by post-heat treatment (300℃ for 1 h and 400℃ for 1 h) of the HVOF coating layers to control its microstructure and mechanical properties. Additionally, the microstructure and mechanical properties are evaluated according to the post-heat treatment conditions. The porosity of the heat-treated coating layers are significantly reduced to less than half those of the as-sprayed coating layer, and the pore shape changes to a spherical shape. The constituent phases of the coating layers are Cu, Ag, and Cu-Ag-Cu3P eutectic, which is identical to the initial powder feedstock. A more uniform microstructure is obtained as the heat-treatment temperature increases. The hardness of the coating layer is 154.6 Hv (as-sprayed), 161.2 Hv (300℃ for 1 h), and 167.0 Hv (400℃ for 1 h), which increases with increasing heat-treatment temperature, and is 2.35 times higher than that of the conventional cast alloy. As a result of the pull-out test, loss or separation of the coating layer rarely occurs in the heat-treated coating layer.

In the development of paralleling techniques, Multi-Phase Interleaved(MPI) converter constitutes one of the most promising alternatives reported in the last years. This technique consists of a phase shifting of the control signals of several cells in parallel operating at the same switching frequency. As a result, the aggregated input and output current waveform exhibit lower ripple amplitude and smaller harmonics content than in synchronous or stochastic operation modes. Based on the inherent advantages of the MPI converter, in this paper, a control scheme, which can reduce current and voltage rifle, is proposed for PEMFC generation systems. The MPI boost converter is composed of several identical boost converters connected in parallel.

This paper proposes a new configuration of 36-pulse voltage source converter which consists of two 6-pulse bridges and a pulse-interleaving auxiliary circuit. The system topology of proposed converter was derived to increase the pulse number of converter output voltage without increasing the number of 6-pulse bridges. The gate pulse generation was analyzed using the theoretical approach of multi-pulse switching converter, The operational feasibility of proposed system was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software and experimental works with 2kVA hardware prototype. The proposed converter can be widely used for the uninterruptible power supply, the power quality compensator, and the distributed power generation, such as solar and fuel cell power system.

This paper proposes a simple starting method to arrange the rotor position of the blushless DC motor (BLDC) without additional sensors and any information of motor parameters. Both the stator current and time period for arranging the rotor position can be easily adjusted by modulating a pulse width of switching devices. Using the proposed method, it is demonstrated experimentally that the BLDC starts up very smoothly.

This paper deals with the ZVS characteristics of a bidirectional DC/DC converter in idling mode. Simulations are carried out with the supercapacitor which maximum voltage is 50 V. It is found that the ZVS can be achieved as far as the supercapacitor voltage is below 94% of the maximum voltage in idling mode. Therefore, the switching loss in the mode can be small by control the upper limit of the supercapacitor voltage.
