The liquid crystal display(LCD) TV market has been growing continuously and cost reduction is one of the biggest issues to increase its market share. The LCD needs backlight because it belongs to non emissive displays. The cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) and external electrode fluorescent lamp (EEFL) are widely used in backlight system for LCDs. But assembly of CCFL and EEFL backlight system is very complex. The flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) is a newly developed light source and it has a very simple structure. The LCD backlight can have a simple structure if the newly delvelop FFL is used as a light source. The backlight with FFL can be more cost effective than that of the backlights with CCFL or EEFL light sources. But the temperature behaviour of FFL backlights are different from the backlight with CCFL or EEFL light sources, which prohibits FFL backlight from being accepted as the backlight for commercial application.

ABSTRACT

This thesis proposed the comparison of both simulation softwares PSIM and MATLAB/SIMULINK, implemented on the power electronics circuits. It will be helpful for designers to decide which software is preferable for the analysis of their power electronics circuits. The circuits that invoked to simulation are AC to DC converters(rectifiers), DC-DC converters, DC-AC converters(inverters), and AC-AC converters. The pure resistances and inductances load are used and input power is supplied by the single-phase and three-phase AC or DC voltage source. The comparison is focusing on the differences of output performances between these two simulation softwares, and the results are considered on the output waveforms of circuit which is drawn and simulated on the schematic window of each software; whether the waveforms in each circuit are matched or not. The process of comparison was accomplished on the same condition of both simulation softwares. The explanations and the features of these comparison is included.

A study on the performance of 10kW Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Power Conditioning System with characteristics variation in inductor core materials Lee, Kyoung-Jun

Grid-Connected power conditioning system (PCS) is widely used for distributed generation system. In Grid-Connected PCS, the LC filter is essential to reduce the current harmonics injected to the grid. In this paper adequate inductor core materials are selected to analyze the performance of 10 kW Grid-Connected Photovoltaic (PV) PCS. Core materials can be classified into three groups: power core, sheet core and ferrite core. For the experiment, Fe-3%Si core, Fe-6.5%Si (Super core) and Mega Flux core were chosen as a filter inductor core. Optimal condition for each inductor core is determined by the efficiency and THD.

Three-phase four-wire electrical distribution systems are widely employed in manufacturing plants, commercial and residential buildings. Due to the nonlinear loads connected to the distribution system, the neutral conductor carries excessive harmonic currents even under balanced loading since the triplen harmonics in phase currents do not cancel each other. This may result in wiring failure of the neutral conductor and overloading of the distribution transformer. This paper proposes a reduced rating active power filter to suppress neutral current harmonics in three-phase four-wire electrical distribution systems. The proposed scheme employs a single-phase inverter connected in series with the neutral conductor and a -Y transformer connected in parallel with the load. The proposed active filter eliminates neutral current harmonics while it does not affect the fundamental current due to unbalanced loading. The VA rating of the inverter is significantly reduced since only fundamental current due to unbalanced loading could flow through the inverter switch. The experimental results on a prototype validate the proposed control approach.
