In small-power applications, variable-speed motors having high efficiency and controllability become more dominant than brushed DC motors. BLDC motors with permanent magnets in the rotor and SRMs directed by reluctance torque due to no permanent magnets have been strongly studied as a candidate. Compared to the BLDC motors, SRMs are more suitable for low-cost applications since the magnetic structure is simple, mechanically robust, and cheap due to no additional excitation in the rotor such as copper wire, aluminum, and permanent magnets. In addition, relatively small number of phases in single and two-phase SRMs allows more cost savings with regards to material in the motor and switching devices in the converter. In this paper, several 2 phase SRMs are compared to a 3 phase 6/4 SRM in terms of flux distribution in key parts of the motors.

Analysis, design and practical implementation of a single-stage electronic ballast for compact fluorecent lamps are presented in this paper. The proposed topology is based on a single-stage ballast which combines a boost converter and a half-bridge series resonant inverter. High power factor is achieved by using the boost semi-stage operating in discontinuous conduction mode, and inverter semi-stage operated above resonant frequency to provide zero voltage switching is employed to ballast the fluorescent lamp. Analytical and experimental results from the ballast system with 36W fluorescent lamps have demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed single-stage electronic ballast.

This paper proposes a nonlinear impedance circuit composed by diodes and inductors or capacitors. This circuit needs no control circuits and switches, and the impedance value is changed by the polarity of current or voltage. This paper presents one of these applications to improve the input current of capacitor input diode rectifiers. The rectifier using the nonlinear impedance circuit id constructed with four diodes and four capacitors in addition to the conventional rectifiers, that is, it has eight diodes and five capacitors, including a DC link capacitor. It makes harmonic components of the input current reduce and the power factor improve. A circuit design method is shown by experimentation and confirmed simulation. It explained that compared conventional pulse-width modulated (PWM)inverter with half pulse-width modulated (HPWM) inverter proposed HPWM inverter eliminated dead-time by lowering switching loss and holding over-shooting.

멀티 레벨 인버터는 높은 출력 전압을 갖으며, 낮은 THD(Total harmonic distortion)를 요구하는 시스템에 적합하다. 그 중 cascaded H-brige 멀티레벨 인버터는 H-bridge 셀별 관리가 쉽고, 레벨 수를 증가시키기 쉽다는 장점 때문에 많이 이용되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 cascaded H-bridge 인버터의 기존 PI (proportional integral) 제어 기반 PWM (pulse width modulation)기법의 스위칭 패턴과 모델 예측 제어의 스위칭 패턴을 비교하고 모델예측 제어 시 셀 별 스위칭 패턴 균형을 위한 방법을 제안한다.

This paper designs the high-efficiency and the low-cost drive system of the smallsize electric vehicles (EVs). The power circuit for driving the dc motor is designed by considering both the cost and efficiency. In order to reduce the conduction loss of MOTFET and diode for controlling an armature voltage, some MOSFETs and diodes at the armature are in parallel connection. An operating sequence for both the field current and the armature voltage according to the accelerator pedal angle is suggested for changing smoothly the rotating direction of dc motor. Through the simulation studies, the performances of the proposed methods are verified.
