This paper is related to the noncontact energy transfer system which can stabilize the load voltage with no feedback control used three resonant circuits. This system which employs a detachable transformer for magnetic coupling has a leakage inductance. Therefore load voltage decreases greatly in proportion to load electric current. A feedback control circuit of the noncontact energy transfer system is more complicated than that of the contact energy transfer system. Namely, a noncontact energy transfer system with no-feedback system is expected for stabilization of the load voltage. A high efficiency noncontact energy transfer system requires several resonant circuits such as resonant inverter and resonant circuit for load matching. The authors found a novel method which minimizes the load voltage drop rate by using optimized capacitance value of above the resonant circuits.

This paper proposes a soft-switched three-phase-single-switch-boost-rectifier circuit. The proposed circuit can perform zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) without any current and voltage sensors. For this circuit, both simulation and experiments have been performed. The results not only confirmed the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) but also indicated that, compared to the conventional hard-switched rectifier, the proposed circuit improves the efficiency as much as 2.7% while keeping the same high power factor and small harmonic distortion in their AC input.

With great advance of power semiconductor switching devices and their related control circuits, high frequency switching power converters can be implemented for power electronic appliances. In these converters, a pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is widely used. On the other hand, to improve power factor in utility AC side of converter a variety of power factor correction (PFC) converters are effectively introduced. For these converters, hysteresis current control method is developed and applying. Usually, this control scheme uses reference sinusoidal wave and upper limit signal which is determined by added constant value to reference signal, as well as lower limit signal which is determined by subtracted constant value from the reference signal. Using these signals, hysteresis current control method for PFC converter regulates its input current within the range that is determined by the upper and lower limit. In this paper the authors propose a simple configuration hysteresis controlled PFC converter which can effectively reduce current ratings of switching power device. The proposed PFC converter controls input line current keeps within the constant upper limit, specified by the switching power semiconductor device rating, as well as lower limit determined by reference sinusoidal wave. From FFT analytical results, the proposed circuit can lower the current rating of switching power device than fundamental component of input line current.

An electronic gear is designed for short-arc xenon lamps. The electronic gear is composed of an ignitor for generating a high ignition voltage and a DC power supply for providing a DC arc current with low ripple at steady-state. The ignitor employs two stages of step-up circuits with two small sized transformers. To achieve a high power factor, a high-frequency DC-link resonant inverter with a unified resonant energy-tank followed by a rectifier is used as the DC power supply. The electronic gear designed for a short-arc xenon lamp of 350W is discussed as an illustrative example.

A new type DC electric railway system is under development for high speed and mass transportation in Japan. This system needs large power conversion stations consisting of PWM converters on the ground. The PWM converter is required to supply power stably according to the running conditions of the electric rolling stock. In this system, the PWM converter is required to control the DC feeding voltage of 1,500 V at the error rate of 0.5% or less to suppress magnetic disturbance. Moreover the PWM converter has to suppress the oscillating current occurring between the PWM converter and electric rolling stock This paper describes the PWM converter for the DC electric railway system, with emphasis placed on its control methods, characteristics and experimental results.

This paper presents an innovative prototype of a new electromagnetic induction eddy-current heated type far infrared rays radiant heating appliance using the voltage-fed edge-resonant ZVS-PWM high frequency inverter using IGBTs for food cooking and processing. This soft switching inverter can operate under a constant frequency variable power regulation scheme in order to heat the spiral planar induction heater made of the stainless steel plate. This power electronic appliance with soft switching high frequency inverter using IGBTs has attracted special interest from some advantageous viewpoints of safety, cleanliness, compactness and rapid temperature response, which is more suitable for consumer power electronics applications.

This paper proposes a new switching pattern generating algorithm based on SVM (space vector modulation) technique for a high-frequency link soft-switching converter. Because of its totally soft-switched operation, isolated output stage and bidirectional power flow, the proposed converter system is suited for interfacing a new energy system, such as a PV (photovoltaic) system having a battery, with AC system line. The restriction of output vector transition in applying SVM technique is discussed first. Then, a suitable pattern which satisfies soft-switching operation is proposed. The validity of the proposed scheme has been proved with simulation study using PSIM and experimental results with DSP based prototype system.

This paper describes the load simulator for a high-speed elevator, which can emulate a 3-mass system as well as the equivalent 1-mass system. In order to implement the equivalent inertia of the entire elevator system, the conventional simulators have generally utilized mechanical inertia (flywheel) with large radius, which makes the entire system large and heavy. In addition, the mechanical inertia should be replaced each time in order to test another elevator system. In this paper, the dynamic load simulation methods using electrical inertia are presented so that the volume and weight of the simulator system are greatly reduced and the adjustment of inertia value can be achieved easily by software. Experimental results show the feasibility of this simulator system.

This paper is aimed at studying a high frequency model for a low voltage random-wound induction motor. In the simulation techniques, a time domain model is proposed based on Foster's reactance from the network synthesis theory so that the frequency dependent impedance of the motor can be obtained. The AC resistance of the winding is modelled to achieve the skin effect at high frequencies. Frequency responses of the impedance of the motor winding are shown. It is shown that the computer model gives highly satisfactory results compared with those from measurements.
