Active power filter (APF) has been proved as a flexible solution for compensating the harmonic distortion caused by nonlinear loads in power distribution power systems. Digital repetitive control can achieve zero steady-state error tracking of any periodic signal while the sampling points within one repetitive cycle must be a known integer. However, the compensation performance of the APF would be degradation when the grid frequency varies. In this paper, an improved repetitive control scheme with frequency adaptive capability is presented to track any periodic signal with variable grid frequency, where the variable delay items caused by time-varying grid frequency are approximated with Pade approximants. Additionally, the stability criterion of proposed repetitive control scheme is given. A three-phase shunt APF experimental platform with proposed repetitive control scheme is built in our laboratory. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed repetitive control scheme.

The solar cells should be operated at the maximum power point because its output characteristics are greatly fluctuated on the variation of insolation, temperature and load. The output power of solar cell is DC, therefore it is necessary to install an inverter among electric power converts. The inverter have to supply a sinusoidal current and voltage to the load and the interactive utility line. In the paper, the proposes a photovoltaic system designed with a step up chopper and single phase PWM voltage source inverter. Synchronous signal and control signal was processed by microprocessor for stable modulation. The step up chopper operates in continuous mode by adjusting the duty ratio so that the photovoltaic system tracks the maximum power point of solar cell without any influence on the variation of insolation and temperature because solar cell has typical dropping character. The single phase PWM voltage source inverter consists of complex type of electric power converter to compensate for the defect, that is, solar cell cannot be developed continuously by connecting with the source of electric power, from 10 to $20\%$. The single phase PWM voltage source inverter operates in situation that its output voltage is in same phase with the utility voltage. The inverter supplies an ac power with high factor and low level of harmonics to the load and the utility power system.

The PAPR of the input signal is increased due to OFDMA signal in a mobile communication system. High efficiency of a power amplifier, which accounts for power consumption, is a very important key technology. Digital Pre-Distortion techniques were used to improve the linearity of the power amplifier. The Asymmetric Doherty scheme was used to improve the efficiency of the power amplifier. In this paper, we propose a new structure of Asymmetric Doherty. Drive power amplifier part is separated as main path and peak path, and phase shifter is employed to improve power combine characteristics of the Doherty Amplifier. Also, envelope tracking technology for drive gate bais in drive peak amplifier is used to improve efficiency.

In this paper, we have developed a device to reduce the standby power consumption that is unnecessarily consumed in unused electrical appliances. The Doppler sensor is used to automatically power off and power off the outlet depending on whether or not a person is present near the outlet. The Doppler sensor uses a coaxial cable trap to design a transmitting antenna and emits a 10 GHz band RF signal and receives a reflected wave signal whose wavelength is reflected from the target object to the receiver to detect an object and recognize human approach. It automatically cuts off and restores standby power to prevent unnecessary power consumption, saving energy and developing a standby power automatic shutdown and recovery device that can prevent the risk of large fires caused by leakage current.

This paper a new simple PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal generation based on modified relaxation oscillator is introduced. Its advantages of the proposed principle are that the precise PWM signal can be easily achieved with a high frequency range up to several megahertz and a low-voltage power supply. The proposed circuit can accept either voltage or current modulating signal. It is very suitable for developing into Integrated Circuits (ICs) form in communication applications. The simulation and experimental results are also depicted, they shown good agreement with theoretical anticipation.

This paper has been studied a predistorter which is able to linierizing of RF amplifier using schottkey. If input signal level is low, input signal is delivered directly. And if input signal level is high, input signal Is delivered with decreasing. So RF amplifier always works at saturation region .When this predistorter is used to simplified C-class RF amplifier, we have concluded that efficiency is improved about 3%.

In this paper, we studied about the radiated emission of EFT(Electrical Fast Transient)/Burst signal, referenced IEC-61000-4-4 of the international EMC standard and its effect on EUT(Equipment Under the Test) when EFT/Burst signal (Conducted noise) induced on a power cable to EUT. Firstly, we set up test sample by the standard and +4 kV standard signal is induced by EFT/Burst signal generator with 1 m length power cable for 1 minute. Consequently, we found not only induced EFT/Burst signal along power line, but also directly radiated emission signal from EFT/Burst signal generator (Radiated emission noise of EFT/Burst). The radiated emission signal of EFT/Burst was 30 dB which is higher than limit of CISPR 22 which is international EMC standard. Moreover, we measured the electric field strength by changing distance from maximum radiated emission point to electric field strength tester. As a result, this electric field strength was 23 V/m which is higher than international EMC standard test level(CISPR 24). Therefore, it was confirmed that the probability of malfunction may be high when radiated emission of EFT/Burst noise exists near the EUT.

Actually, it's very difficult to discriminate the transient on underground power cable system because of the reflected signal including many noises. Therefore, in this paper, a solution based on multiple scales correlation of the transient using SWT(Stationary Wavelet Transform) is presented. It's quick and straightforward. For applying all algorithms, we just use the signal captured in single end.
