Flyback inverter is used in many power conversion applications like AC module due to its simple circuit for implementation. The conventional flyback inverter has some major problems. One of them is voltage spikes across the converter switch originated from transformer leakage inductor. Other problems are high voltage stress and low efficiency owing to switching losses. Therefore, a dual switch flyback inverter providing soft-switching condition using lossless passive snubber circuit is proposed. This circuit does not have any additional switch and thus, the control circuit is reliable and simple. Operating principles and control circuit of the proposed inverter are discussed. In order to justify the relevant theoretical analysis, simulation results are presented.","PeriodicalId":414828,"journal":{"name":"2017 8th Power Electronics, Drive Systems & Technologies Conference (PEDSTC)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127652553","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}

Advances in power electronics converters led to more efficient and controllable pulsed power supplies. Development of solid-state based topologies in pulsed power applications have been considered in recent years. Using these topologies gives compactness and easiness to EMF systems unlike conventional structures. The pulses magnitude and frequency of them are not the same as other pulsed power application. Therefore, most structures introduced are bulky and not efficient. This paper proposes a new configuration for pulsed power supply in electromagnetic forming system. The proposed system is based on Z-source full-bridge inverter that has the flexibility in terms of controlling energy and charging the capacitor to provide proper pulse for electromagnetic forming. In conventional electromagnetic forming systems, power supplies often don't have power electronics configurations. Therefore, the magnitude and frequency of the pulses are not controllable. Using solid-state structure can compensate these defects. Simulation and experimental results are included to verify the proposed system performance.","PeriodicalId":414828,"journal":{"name":"2017 8th Power Electronics, Drive Systems & Technologies Conference (PEDSTC)","volume":"458 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124333017","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}

Therefore, providing more efficient processing techniques in order to achieve more useful features of the signal and faster and more accurate fault detection have been considered by researchers. This project applies the improved Hilbert-Huang Transform to decompose the signal into narrow frequency bands and extract instantaneous frequency and wavelet packet transform to remove the initial signal noise in vibration signal due to the broken rotor bars fault to achieve more useful features of vibration signals for the next stages of diagnosis.

The footprint and switching devices operational frequency limitation, make the efficient power transmission impractical in small available footprint of coils or high power transmission. In this paper a novel approach is proposed, which is based on filtering an odd harmonic of fundamental switching frequency instead of fundamental switching frequency. This results in higher transfer frequency at the same switching frequency. Additionally, the paper investigates appropriate converter for this approach. The selective harmonic approach decreases the required mutual inductance dramatically. This advantage leads to far smaller and lighter coils in the same coupling distances and the same application.
