Modern LED lights, which can be fabricated in different variants, are used in households and industry mainly for their economic operation. The reliability of these luminaires is many times longer than recently used neon tubes or lamps with tungsten filament. The paper compares the measured data from several variants of the LED lights dedicated to different applications for household or for industry. Samples of lights, which were compared, are lights for household, industry, and street lighting. Important quality factors are PF THD parameters with gradual dimming that is controlled by an external module or directly integrated in the luminaire case. These parameters are directly related to the impact on the public electricity grid. Measured values were recorded at 100%, 70% and 50% dimming.","PeriodicalId":117212,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th International Scientific Conference on Electric Power Engineering (EPE)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125007080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The application runs on Windows operating systems and consists of five parts: DS modeling subsystem, DS parts' parameters settings subsystem, DS operation simulation scenario creation subsystem, DS operation simulation visualization subsystem, and mathematical core. This application is the result of an effort to connect two areas of engineering research that have not yet been well connected, particularly the power system simulation software development and the data visualization software development. This application features a graphical user interface that enables users to create a DS operation simulation easily and quickly, and to understand and easily read many values during DS simulation visualization. We aimed at user-friendliness and quick-adjustability of the application. The accomplishment of these goals was tested by a group of experienced university students in the course of one year. The students also participated in a survey. The application was created using the programming language Matlab.","PeriodicalId":117212,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th International Scientific Conference on Electric Power Engineering (EPE)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129348938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Switching performance was identified in the way of power loss identification during the HS and ZVS commutation mode, whereby parametric evaluation in dependency on switching frequency and power load was done. The results show what is the amount of the power loss reduction when perspective transistor structure is used in combination with ZVS switching, even when very high frequency operation is considered.","PeriodicalId":117212,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th International Scientific Conference on Electric Power Engineering (EPE)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121618491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
