Adopting this novel scheme in the proposed current source could remarkably boost its output resistance without requiring increased power supply. Simulation with 0.6μm CMOS process models shows that the output resistance of the novel current source can reach the order of 10^9Ω with a 1.04GHz bandwidth and only 10.6ppm/℃ in the range of -40～145℃.展开更多

Methods Intracellular recording and current source density（CSD）analysis were used to test the complexity of neuronal mechanism of pretectotectal information transfer.Results The pretectal stimulation elicited only one type of response on the contralateral tectum,the inhibitory postsynaptic potential（IPSP）.The majority of contra-induced IPSPs were assumed to be polysynaptically driven.In the CSD analysis,only one sink with short latency was observed in each profile.The ipsilateral projection produced a prominent monosynaptic sink in layer 8 of tectum.Recipient neurons were located in layers 6 and 7 of tectum.The result confirmed former findings from ipsilateral intracellular recordings.Conclusion These results suggest the following neuronal circuit：afferents from the pretectal nuclei broadly inhibit both tectal neuron,and since no second sink occurs in tectal layers,the pretectotectal excitatory afferents probably do not extend over the whole tectum,but are within limited state.The results of intracellular recording and CSD analysis further provide evidence of how pretectal afferent activity flows within the tectal laminae.展开更多

It is important to optimise the design parameters, such as the output impedance, bandwidth, current stability and load range. While many people have used this circuit, it has not been systematically analysed. In this paper, a numerical method is proposed to analyse the characteristics of HCS. Based on a nonideal opamp model, general formulas and simplified for mulas for calculating the output impedance and the closeloop gain of HCS are deduced. From these formulas, the practical formulas are chosen and their effectiveness has been proven by analysis and experiment. The output impendence of two HCS circuits based on t^A741 and LM6365 are compared. The magnitudefrequency response and the relationship between the cur rent and the load of HCS are discussed.展开更多

In order to acquire the suppressor-grid current signal and avoid the grid being damaged by overheating, a data acquisition and over-current protection system based on the PXI（PCI e Xtensions for Instrumentation） platform has been developed.

In the data acquisition module,the acquired data of one shot will be transferred in isolation and saved in a data-storage server in a txt file. It can also be recalled using NBWave for future analysis. The over-current protection module contains two modes： remote and local. This gives it the function of setting a threshold voltage remotely and locally, and the forbidden time of over-current protection also can be set by a host PC in remote mode. Experimental results demonstrate that the data acquisition and overcurrent protection system has the advantages of setting forbidden time and isolation transmission.展开更多

In this paper we discuss a new control system based on space vector modulation （SVM） without any voltage line sensors. Using direct power control （DPC） SVM and a new double synchronous reference frame phase-locked loop （DSRF-PLL） approach, the control system is resistant to the majority of line voltage disturbances. Also, the system response has accelerated by using a feed forward power decoupled loop. The operation of this control strategy was verified in a SIMULINK/MATLAB simulation environment. To validate this control system, a 5 kV.A prototype system was constructed. Compared to the original controllers, the current total harmonic distortion （THD）, the active and reactive deviations and the DC voltage overshoot were lowered by 2.5%, 6.2% and 8%, respectively. The rectifier power factor in the worst condition was 0.93 and the DC voltage settling time was 0.2 s.展开更多

文摘This paper presents a fully customised integrated gate commutated thyristor(IGCT)gate driver monolithic integrated circuit(GDMIC),aiming to address the many shortcomings of traditional IGCT gate driver units composed of discrete components,such as the excessive number of components,low reliability,and complex development processes.The current-source driving characteristics of IGCTs pose significant technical challenges for developing fully customised integrated circuits(IC).The customised requirements of IGCT gate driver chips under various operating conditions are explored regarding functional module division,power sequencing,and chip parameter specifications.However,existing high-side(HS)driver methods exhibit limitations in functional monolithic integration and bipolar complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor compat-ibility.To address these challenges,a novel HS driving topology based on floating linear regulators is proposed.It can achieve synchronised control of multi-channel floating power transistors while supporting 100%duty cycle continuous conduction.The pro-posed GDMIC reduces the three independent HS power supplies to a single multiplexed topology,significantly decreasing circuit complexity.Experimental results validate the feasibility and performance of a 4-inch gate driver prototype based on IGCT current-source management IC,demonstrating significant advantages in reducing the number of components,enhancing device reliability,and simplifying development.The proposed GDMIC offers an innovative development path for future high-power IGCT drivers.
文摘A CMOS bandgap reference （BGR） without a resistor,with a high power supply rejection ratio and output be- low 1V is proposed. The circuit is suited for on-chip voltage down converters. The BGR is designed and fabricated using an HUTC 0.18μm CMOS process. The silicon area is only 0. 031mm^2 excluding pads and electrostatic-discharge （ESD） protec- tion circuits. Experimental results show that the PSRR of the proposed BGR at 100Hz and lkHz achieves, respectively, - 70 and 62dB using the pre-regulator. The proposed BGR circuit generates an output voltage of 0. 5582V with a varia- tion of 1.5mV in a temperature range from 0 to 85℃. The deviation of the output voltage is within 2mV when the power supply voltage VDD changes from 2.4 to 4V.
文摘Voltage source converter high-voltage direct current （VSC-HVDC） is a new power transmission technology pref- erable in small or medium power transmission. In this paper we discuss a new control system based on space vector modulation （SVM） without any voltage line sensors. Using direct power control （DPC） SVM and a new double synchronous reference frame phase-locked loop （DSRF-PLL） approach, the control system is resistant to the majority of line voltage disturbances. Also, the system response has accelerated by using a feed forward power decoupled loop. The operation of this control strategy was verified in a SIMULINK/MATLAB simulation environment. To validate this control system, a 5 kV.A prototype system was constructed. Compared to the original controllers, the current total harmonic distortion （THD）, the active and reactive deviations and the DC voltage overshoot were lowered by 2.5%, 6.2% and 8%, respectively. The rectifier power factor in the worst condition was 0.93 and the DC voltage settling time was 0.2 s.
文摘Wind energy sources have different structures and functions from conventional power plants in the power system.These resources can affect the exchange of active and reactive power of the network.Therefore,power system stability will be affected by the performance of wind power plants,especially in the event of a fault.In this paper,the improvement of the dynamic stability in power system equipped by wind farm is examined through the supplementary controller design in the high voltage direct current(HVDC)based on voltage source converter(VSC)transmission system.In this regard,impacts of the VSC HVDC system and wind farm on the improvement of system stability are considered.Also,an algorithm based on controllability(observability)concept is proposed to select most appropriate and effective coupling between inputs-outputs(IO)signals of system in different work conditions.The selected coupling is used to apply damping controller signal.Finally,a fractional order PID controller(FO-PID)based on exchange market algorithm(EMA)is designed as damping controller.The analysis of the results shows that the wind farm does not directly contribute to the improvement of the dynamic stability of power system.However,it can increase the controllability of the oscillatory mode and improve the performance of the supplementary controller.
