In this paper, the design and implementation of a high power(300W) forward converter using a planar transformer is presented. The overall size and volume of the converter is decreased by replacing a planar transformer in stead of using a conventional winding transformer. Due to the decreased size and volume, power density of the applied forward converter is increased. Also, in this paper, the 300W ZVS forward converter with active clamp snubber circuit is compared to the 300W hard switching forward converter.

최근 IT 산업의 $CO_2$ 배출량의 증가로 고효율 시스템의 개발이 중요시되고 있다. 이에 따라 많은 고효율 시스템에 대한 연구들이 큰 파워를 담당하는 PFC단과 DC/DC단을 중심으로 진행되어 왔고, 고효율의 시스템을 개발되었다. 하지만 스탠바이단에 대한 연구가 부족하였고 현재 낮은 효율에 머물러 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 고효율 스탠바이컨버터를 통해, 전체효율의 향상시키는 연구하였다. 기존의 스탠바이 컨버터인 flyback 컨버터의 단점인 스위치의 높은 전압스트레스, 스너버 손실 그리고 Hard switching하는 단점을 DC/DC 컨버터와 통합된 구조를 가짐으로써, 추가적인 소자의 사용 없이 해결한다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 구조를 통해 경부하 효율이 향상되는 것을 결합원리, 동작원리 및 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

This paper proposes a grid-tied power conditioning system for the fuel cell power generation, which consists of a 2-stage DC-DC converter and a 3-phase PWM inverter. The 2-stage DC-DC converter boosts the fuel cell stack voltage of 26-48V up to 400V, using a hard-switching boost converter and a high-frequency unregulated LLC resonant converter. The operation of the proposed power conditioning system was verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. Based on the simulation results, a laboratory experimental set-up was built with a 1.2kW PEM fuel-cell stack to verify the feasibility of hardware implementation. The developed power conditioning system shows a high efficiency of 91%, which is a very positive result for the commercialization.

This paper deals with an offline routing problem, which can be used as an explicit routing procedure in MPLS(Multiprotocol Label Switching) network, for traffic engineering. This problem is formulated as an MIP(Mixed Integer Programming) with the objective function which is to minimize the sum of the maximum link utilization for load balancing (link utilization) and the routing cost. Constraints arc composed of link capacity restriction and demand requirement that has origin-destination pair, bandwidth requirement and hop restriction. The problem is proved to be NP-hard so that the Lagrangean relaxation method is applied to propose a Lagrangean heuristic. To test the effectiveness & efficiency of the proposed algorithm, computational experiments are performed with numerical instances. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm solves the problem within a reasonable time.

In urban area narrow commuter vehicles have attracted interest as a possible solution to reduce traffic congestion and parking problems. However, a narrow vehicle has an increased to overturn during hard cornering when compared to conventional vehicles. This tendency can be reduced by tilting it toward the inside of the turn. Two types of automatic tilting control systems which are Direct Tilt Control(DTC) and Steering Tilt Control(STC) have been developed. In this paper as one of the technique to improve the handling performance for the unusual vehicle the control system which blends both the DTC and the STC system is considered. It uses the merits of both the DTC and the STC system. As a control strategy for combination the switching control method is used. Finally, the fact that the unusual vehicle is safe under an emergency situation such as slippery road surface is proved by computer simulation.

본 논문은 ZVS asymmetrical half-bridge converter 에서 무부하시 전력소모 분석과 감소 방안에 대한 연구이다. Asymmetrical half-bridge converter는 영전압 스위칭을 통해 효율 증가가 가능하고, 낮은 EMI 발생의 장점으로 인해 최근 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 대기전력 소모의 관점에서는 기존의 hard switching converter에 비해 오히려 손실이 증가한다. 이는 공진형 컨버터의 무부하시 동작이 기생전류에 의한 도통손실이 크기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이를 개선 할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 70W급의 실험용 SMPS의 제작을 통해 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증한다.

Recently, due to the launching of digital broadcasting service, a demand of PDP TV with large screen size is sharply rising. PDP power module is mainly divided into power factor correction (PFC) stage and sustaining power stage. Especially, sustaining power module has pulsating load characteristics. So, the hard switching at light load condition causes low efficiency and thermal problem. Therefore, a new power conversion circuit for sustaining power module of 60' PDP is proposed whose ZVS is obtained by additional ZVS tank. This paper presents properties of the proposed converter through mode analysis, numerical analysis. And a 900w prototype for sustaining power module of 60' PDP is produced to verify the analytic results. As an experimental results, ZVS is achieved from full load to 10% load variation and more than 92% of high efficiency is obtained at 10% load condition.

ATM based MPLS(Multiprotocol Label Switching) is discussed for its provisioning QOS commitment capabilities, Traffic engineering and smooth migration for BcN in Korea. At this time, due to the comprehensive nature of ATM protocol, ATM has been adapted as the backbone system for carrying Internet traffic[1,2,3,4]. This paper presents preventive congestion control mechanisms for detecting HTR(Hard-To-Reach) LSP(Label Switched Path) in ATM based MPLS systems. In particular, we have introduced a HTR LSP detection method using network signaling information in an ATM layer. MPLS related studies can cover LSP failures in a physical layer fault, it can not impact network congestion status. Here we will present the research results for introducing HTR LSP detection methods and control mechanisms and this mechanism can be implementing as SOC for high speed processing a packet header. We concluded that it showed faster congestion avoidance abilities with a more reduced system load and maximized the efficiency of network resources by restricting ineffective machine attempts.

In this paper, we present a 600-V reverse conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor (RC-IGBT) for soft and hard switching applications, such as general purpose inverters. The newly developed RC-IGBT uses the deep reactive-ion etching trench technology without the thin wafer process technology. Therefore, a freewheeling diode (FWD) is monolithically integrated in an IGBT chip. The proposed RC-IGBT operates as an IGBT in forward conducting mode and as an FWD in reverse conducting mode. Also, to avoid the destructive failure of the gate oxide under the surge current and abnormal conditions, a protective Zener diode is successfully integrated in the gate electrode without compromising the operation performance of the IGBT.
