The operation and trade-off of Bridgeless Power Factor Correction (BPFC) circuit with interleaved Boost stages are investigated. By using interleaved BPFC, an overall reduction of the size of EMI filter can be achieved without increasing the switching frequency of the converter. And higher efficiency can be expected in interleaved BPFC through the universal line input comparing with traditional BPFC. Furthermore, an optimization procedure is implemented to improve system power density. Analysis and simulation results taken from a 3.5kW peak interleaved BPFC completed this paper.

A Novel Software for Automatic Calibration Factor Measurement of RF Power Sensors
Kizilbey, Oguzhan; Arslan, Murat; Bayrak, Yusuf; Çetinkaya, Anıl; Yugruk, Aydin; Danaci, Erkan (2022-01-01)
In this letter, a software for calibration factor (CF) measurement of radio frequency (RF) power sensors (PS) by using VNA-based direct comparison transfer method (VBDCTM) was developed on C# platform. Measurements were performed between 10 MHz and 18 GHz frequency range. When the calibration factors calculated with conventional CF measurement method and novel software were compared, a maximum difference of 4.56% was found in the 10 MHz - 18 GHz frequency band. Therefore, the automatic CF measurement softwa...

A medium-power current source converter (CSC)-based shunt active power filter (APF) system is designed and implemented to suppress the amplification of low-order harmonics at the medium-voltage (MV) interface bus between the distribution and transmission systems, owing to the presence of large shunt capacitor banks installed only for reactive power compensation. Four CSC-based APF modules designed at 1.0 kV are operated in parallel and connected to the 31.5-kV MV bus via a specially designed coupling transf...
Employing Dynamic Body-Bias for Short Circuit Power Reduction in SRAMs
Mert, Yakup Murat; Simsek, Osman Seckin (2015-03-04)
Dynamic body-biasing is a well studied approach for reducing the leakage power in memory systems. Proposed designs dynamically change the body bias of the inactive memory cells in order to tune their threshold voltages. However, prior body biasing schemes only focus on the static power reduction and overlook the power dissipation stemmed from the short circuit current. Recent studies showed that the neglected short circuit power became significant fraction of the overall power consumption in CMOS circuits. ...
A partitioning strategy for improved state estimation performance in ill-conditioned power systems with hybrid measurement set
Yildiz, Tuna; Açılan, Etki; Göl, Murat (2021-12-01)
Considering the increase in power system size and the number of PMUs, the utilization of a computationally efficient yet accurate static state estimator is crucial. The fast-decoupled WLS estimator (FD-WLS) is the most common method employed in industrial applications, thanks to its computational efficiency and ease of implementation. However, it is known that FD-WLS fails in the presence of an ill-conditioned power system, e.g., a power system with high R/X ratio and large difference between measurement er...

This research work is devoted to the analysis, design and development of the Current-Source Converter (CSC) based distribution-type Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM) for low-voltage applications in reactive-power control in order to achieve i) faster transient response in reactive-power control, ii) lower current harmonic distortion, iii) lower power losses and iv) minimum storage elements in comparison with conventional solutions. The developed CSC-D-STATCOM includes a low-pass input filter and a ...
