Abstract:
A series of seismic tests of mechanical snubbers on a full-scale model piping system provided a unique opportunity for detailed scrutiny of snubber seismic behavior on an actual piping system. The observed snubber behavior is a complicated pattern of braking and releasing, drag and drift, and the dynamic characteristics of the snubber, as well as the input motion, play a role in the response of the snubber. The snubbers were effective in limiting pipe displacements. Relative accelerations across the snubber were larger than expected. Snubber hysteretic behavior was irregular. Results from this testing are important in understanding snubber behavior, evaluating snubber performance, and in assessing alternatives to snubbers.

Abstract:
This paper presents a systematic approach to developing turn-off snubber for an interleaving converter to smooth out switch turn-off transition. With the approach, the interleaving converter with two turn-off snubbers, which are formed by two L-C-D type snubbers, can be replaced by the one with turn-off snubber composed of a single-capacitor snubber. It can be used in the basic six interleaved converters, such as buck, boost, buck-boost, ‘cuk, zeta and sepic converters. In this research, the structure of the interleaved converter with the turn-off snubber can be conveniently simplified from the derived general configurations, reducing the complexity of circuit structure significantly. Measured results from a buck prototype converter have been verified to prove the feasibility of the derived turn-off snubber.

In this article both the general linear regenerative turn-on and turn-off snubbers are analysed and optimized independently from one another, in terms of minimum energy losses. The dissipative snubber - which was up to now the only optimized snubber - now becomes merely a special case of this general regenerative snubber. Equations describing the most important parameters are presented in tables, while some energy versus snubber size graphs are also shown.

Abstract:
This paper proposes an interleaved high step-up converter with different soft-switching snubbers for PV energy conversion applications. For the high step-up converter, interleaved and coupled-inductor technologies are used to reduce output ripple current and increase output power level. Simultaneously, two types of snubbers, a single-capacitor snubber and boost type snubber, are introduced separately into the discussed converters for comparing their performances of conversion efficiency and switching losses. For drawing maximum power from the PV arrays, a perturbation-and-observation method realized with the microcontroller is adopted to achieve maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm and power regulating scheme. Finally, two prototypes of the interleaved coupled-inductor boost converter with a single-capacitor snubber and with boost type snubber are implemented, respectively. The experimental results obtained are used to verify and compare the performances and feasibilities of the discussed converters with different snubbers in PV conversion applications. The experimental results show that the proposed system is suitable for PV energy conversion applications when the duty ratios of switches of the converter are less than 0.5.

Abstract:
The damping coefficients and ratios of piping system snubber supports were found to vary logarithmically with pipe support nodal displacement. For piping systems with fundamental frequencies in the range of 0.6 to 6.6 Hz, the support damping ratio for snubber supports was found to increase with increasing fundamental frequency. For 3-kip snubbers, damping coefficient and damping ratio decreased logarithmically with nodal displacement, indicating that the 3-kip snubbers studied behaved essentially as coulomb dampers; while for the 10-kip snubbers studied, damping coefficient and damping ratio increased logarithmically with nodal displacement.

Full text
Abstract:
Earthquake-simulator experiments were conducted on a liquid centrifugal chiller supported by four isolation/restraint systems with built-in elastomeric snubbers. The test plan incorporated variations of input motion amplitudes and snubber properties to investigate their effect on three response quantities: peak dynamic forces induced into the snubbers, peak acceleration, and peak relative displacement response of the equipment. The elastomeric snubbers limited the displacement responses of the vibration-isolated equipment at the expense of excessive dynamic forces and amplification of the equipment acceleration response. The snubber gap size was the most influential property on the response quantities. For high-amplitude input motions, all the response quantities increased with an increase of the gap size. Due to the compressibility of the snubber elastomeric contact-surface, the actual gap size was always larger than the nominal gap size. Even with a nominal gap size less than 0.25 in., the seismic response of the equipment was substantially different from the seismic response of rigidly mounted equipment. Compared to snubbers with constant contact-surface, snubbers with expanding contact-surface resulted in lower dynamic forces. The thicker and softer contact-surface could lower the dynamic forces induced into the snubbers but resulted in larger relative displacement response of the equipment.

Abstract:
A Flyback converter is a simple switch-mode power supply that can be used to generate a DC output from either an AC or DC input. The converter switch is the most critical part of any converter. The voltage stress across the switch is a major issue as the high voltage spikes occur due to interaction between its output capacitance and the leakage inductance of the transformer. These spikes can be reduced with various snubbers like conventional tertiary winding, Resistor Capacitor and Diode(RCD) snubber, energy regenerative snubber and an active clamp snubber. This paper aims to analyze and compare the voltage stress across the MOSFET switch of Flyback converter with various snubber circuits.

Abstract:
The Ritz averaging method is utilized to reduce the nonlinear characteristics of piping system supports (snubbers) to equivalent linear support stiffnesses during seismic excitation. The equivalent snubber support stiffnesses are used in seismic modal analyses of two piping systems. The analyses are performed in order to determine the effect that high snubber lockup velocities have on piping system stresses. The results show that the lockup velocity of snubbers in the systems analyzed can be safely allowed to increase above normal limits without any significant increase in nodal stresses.

Abstract:
With the penetration of electric vehicles (EVs), there have been paradigm shifts in the transportation sector. EVs are ideally considered to be clean and eco-friendly, but they can overload the existing grid infrastructure and significantly contribute towards carbon emissions depending on the source of charging. The ideal solution is to develop a charging infrastructure for EVs that is integrated with solar energy technology. This paper presents the design of a zero-voltage switching snubber-based bidirectional converter for an off-grid charging station for EVs. The proposed system includes a solar array with a boost converter, a bidirectional converter with snubber circuits and an energy storage unit. A comprehensive comparison between various types of snubbers, such as the resistive capacitive diode snubber, active clamp snubber and flyback snubber, is presented. This type of system configuration clamps the rail voltage, due to the difference in current between leakage inductance and low voltage side-fed inductor currents, resulting in reduced current spikes at the converter’s switches. Such a converter, therefore, leads to higher efficiency of the charging station for EVs. The design of a snubber-based off-grid charging station for EVs is formulated and validated in the MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Abstract:
The effect of switching losses on the efficiency of a switch mode power converter and methods adopted for its improvement using an energy recovery lossless snubber has been presented. A comparative analysis of various types of soft switching techniques along with effects of dissipative and nondissipative snubbers on efficiency of the converter has been carried out before zeroing in on the selected scheme. The selected snubber serves the dual function of a turn-on and turn-off snubber and thereby reducing the switching losses both during turn-on and turn-off transients, resulting in improved efficiency of the converter. A detailed design procedure of the snubber for high-power applications taking into account various effects such as diode reverse recovery, diode voltage stress, and minimum and maximum duty cycle limits, has been presented in this paper. Importance of practical aspects in layout to minimize wiring inductance is also highlighted. A high-power prototype of buck converter has been developed to experimentally validate the theoretical design and analytical observations.

Abstract:
When flyback converters are connected to floating loads, voltage swings at the output can give rise to spikes which pass through the flyback transformer stray capacitor. This happens when flyback converters supply IGBT floating gate drivers. These voltage spikes can interfere with the correct behavior of the gate driver. In order to reduce the transformer stray capacitance, the two windings must be wound on the opposite sides of the core. However, this reduces the coupling factor of the transformer by increasing its leakage inductance and snubbers must be employed in some cases. This paper deals with snubber design and behavior for flyback converter applications. Since it is shown that snubbers transfer the energy through the flyback transformer, they should be designed in a different way with respect to conventional applications.

Finally, the simulation results are provided to verify that the exact selection of the snubber resistance and capacitance’s parameters can make excitation controlling circuit more stable and reliable.

Abstract:
This study presents an improved zero voltage switching (ZVS) boost converter with an active snubber cell providing soft switched operation for all semiconductors. The active snubber cell reduces the reverse recovery loss of the boost diode and also provides the zero voltage transition (ZVT) Turn-on and ZVS Turn-off for the boost switch. The zero current switching (ZCS) Turn-on and ZVS Turn-off for the snubber switch is also achieved. All diodes in the converter can be operated with soft switching (SS). In the snubber cell, SS energy can be transfered effectively to the output by the use of a snubber inductor and a capacitor. This energy transfer allows the use of additional parallel connected capacitor to the boost switch to provide ZVS turning off. There is no additional voltage and current stress on the boost switch and boost diode. The voltage stress of the snubber switch is also limited by the output voltage and the current stress of the snubber switch is reduced by the energy transfer to the output. SS operating of the semiconductors is maintained at very wide load ranges. The operation of the proposed converter is presented with a detailed steady state analysis. The predicted theoretical analysis is validated by a prototype with 500[Formula: see text]W output power and 100[Formula: see text]kHz operating frequency. The measured maximum efficiency values are obtained as approximately 97% and 85.4% at full load and 10% load conditions, respectively.

The proposed improved design guidelines are based on the reduction of the conduction losses through the auxiliary circuit.

By means of this improved design guidelines the converter efficiency can be increased. An efficiency comparative analysis is carried out and the experimental results, obtained from 1 kW, 100 kHz laboratory prototypes, show a relevant improvement in converter efficiency compared to the original converter design.

Abstract:
Snubber and shroud have been widely adopted in steam turbine last stage blades to decrease the vibration stress. The contact surfaces between snubber and shroud own obviously fractal geometry characteristics. Based on fractal geometry theory and finite element nonlinear vibration theory, the fractal friction model that describes friction damping contact could be accurately established. In this paper, the contact fractal elements are set up and the nonlinear vibration response characteristics of a long steam turbine last stage blade with snubber and shroud are calculated. The results show that, with the increase of shroud normal force, the resonant amplitude of the blade experiences a decreasing period followed by an increasing period while the modal damping ratio increases first and then decreases when there is only shroud contact. The regulations are similar when there are both shroud and snubber contacts. The resonant frequency increases until the normal contact forces increase to some degree.

A Single-Ended Primary-Inductor Converter (SEPIC) converter with an Inductor-Capacitor (LC) regenerative snubber is proposed to reduce Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) for Electric Vehicle (EV) applications. The switching energy is transferred through a capacitor to an inductor which is coupled to SEPIC inductors. This technique reduces the number of components and also returns some of switching energy to SEPIC converter. The mathematical analysis and optimization of LC snubber with respect to number of turns is also presented. Spice simulations and experimental results are provided to verify its performance. The proposed LC regenerative snubber reduces the peak voltage by 16 V on the switching transistor during the switching transient. It is also indicated that 8 dB reduction is achieved in the EMI measurements at ringing frequency and 10 dB reduction at high frequency band.

However, the required of high switching frequency cause the switching loss during turn-ON and turn-OFF condition. In order to reduce the switching loss, soft-switching technique is required in order to reduce or eliminate the losses at switching devices. There are various of soft-switching techniques can be considered, either to reduce the switching loss during turn-ON only, or turn-OFF only, or both. This paper discusses comparative analyses of resonant and passive lossless snubber circuits which applied in the DC-DC boost converter structure. Based on the simulation results, the switching loss is approximately eliminated by applying soft-switching technique compared to the hard-switching technique implementation. The results show that the efficiency of resonant circuit and passive lossless snubber circuit are 82.99% and 99.24%, respectively. Therefore, by applying passive lossless snubber circuit in the DC-DC boost converter, the efficiency of the converter is greatly increased. Due to the existing of an additional capacitor in soft-switching circuit, it realizes lossless operation of DC-DC boost converter.

Abstract:
This paper presents a selection of inductor and snubber capacitor in non-isolated synchronous DC-DC switching power converter. The circuit is made to operate in Synchronous Discontinuous Conduction Mode (SDCM)/Forced Continuous Conduction Mode (FCCM) of operation for minimum inductor value, to reduce the size, weight and cost of the converter. The turn off loss of the switch induced by SDCM of operation is minimized by connecting snubber capacitor across the transistor switch. Before the switch is turned ON, snubber capacitor requires certain amount of energy must be stored in the inductor to discharge the capacitor energy [1]. The question is how much capacitor and inductor value is required. A series of MATLAB script are executed to find minimum inductor value for FCCM of operation and to select snubber capacitor for maximum efficiency. Complementary gate signals are used to control the ON and OFF of main and auxiliary switch. SDCM of operation due to complementary control gate signal scheme, minimum turn on loss of the transistor switch and low diode reverse recovery loss are achieved. Thus the Zero Voltage Resonant Transition (ZVRT) of transistor switch is realized, both turn on and turn off loss is minimized and also removes the parasitic ringing in inductor current.

Abstract:
Prior to 1982, pipe damping values in nuclear plants were prescribed by Regulatory Guide 1.61 and Appendix N to Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. In the early 1980s, it became clear that piping design was too conservative resulting in systems that had far too many supports, particularly snubbers. These supports were costly to design, install, and inspect; contributed to increased worker radiation exposure; and since snubbers sometimes lock when unloaded causing higher fatigue usage in piping, the safety margin of the systems was reduced. A series of steps was undertaken by the Pressure Vessel Research Committee (PVRC) to propose new damping limits, which culminated in alternate damping allowable values, called PVRC damping. This damping was later adopted as Code Case N-411 to the ASME Code. Code Case N-411 has enabled several utilities to make significant reductions in the number of snubbers on their plants, resulting in lower maintenance costs, lower worker radiation exposure, and greater reliability (since the consequences of snubber malfunction are reduced). More recently, the Electric Power Research Institute sponsored a project by Bechtel to review the damping data, perform a regression analysis, and recommend a permanent change to the ASME Code to replace Code Case N-411.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the investigation and implementation of a high-performance power conversion system to reduce the overvoltage phenomenon in variable speed electric drive applications. Particularly, the pros and cons of using Silicon Carbide power MOSFETs in the power converter when a long power cable is employed in electric motor drive systems has been addressed. The three-phase two level inverter with the addition of snubber circuits that consist of capacitors and diodes has been investigated, designed and tested in order to mitigate the overvoltage problems without sacrificing the conversion efficiency. Given that the snubber circuit added to the switches can increase losses, an additional circuit is used to recover the energy from the snubber circuit. The proposed analysis has been then validated through an experimental campaign performed on the converter prototype. The experimental results show that the proposed converter can reduce the overvoltage at the electric motor terminals with excellent conversion efficiency compared to the classical solution like the three-phase two level inverter.

A novel suggestion for a non-linear turn-off snubber is simulated experimentally with linear capacitors and an auxiliary power electronic switch. Thus the principle and advantages of this concept is partly illustrated, particularly concerning the important reduction of reactive stored energy for the same switching dissipation in the main power device. The full advantages of the concept will be realised when a snubber capacitor with non-linear, voltage dependent dielectric is used. The work on this part of the solution is being continued.

This paper presents a new single-stage single-switched forward converter with magnetic coupled nondissipative snubber, which gives good power factor correction (PFC), low current harmonic distortion, and tight output voltage regulation. The proposed converter features low switch current and voltage stresses, essential for the design of a single-stage power factor correction converter. The prototype shows that the IEC1000-3-2 requirements are met satisfactorily with nearly unity power factor. This proposed converter with magnetic coupled nondissipative snubber is particularly suited for power supply applications with low power level.

Abstract:
The compressor blades of aero-engines are usually produced with precision forging technology to get net-shape free-form surface of the blades. Due to the complex shape of blade snubber, it’s very difficult to get net-shape for it. While, there are still lots of raw material around it, further multi-axis machining is needed. However, without raw material left on blade surfaces, it is very difficult and skill-dependent to design special fixture to localize the blade with its net-shape free-form surface for multi-axis milling. In order to mill blade snubber with high accuracy, a mathematical model for localization precision forging blade with snubber is proposed in this paper. According to the processing characteristic of precision forging blades, a point set selection method based on the CAD model is proposed. In this method, localization transform parameter is obtained by using SVD (Singular Value Decomlocalizing), and solving process is completed by employing iterative nearest point (ICP) algorithm. Finally, a machining simulation experiment is carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract:
The silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET is characterized by high operating voltage, temperature, switching frequency and efficiency which enables a converter to achieve high power density. However, at high switching frequency, the crosstalk phenomenon occurs when the gate voltage spike introduced by high dv/dt and voltage ringing forces false turn-on of SiC MOSFET which causes a crow-bar current thereby increasing switching losses. In order to increase the immunity against the crosstalk phenomenon in a half-bridge configuration, this paper presents a gate driver for SiC MOSFET capable of generating the negative turn-off voltage without using a negative power supply. In addition, the effect of parasitic inductances on the switching response is analyzed and an RC snubber is designed using high-frequency based circuit reduction technique to dampen the switching ringing. The performance of the proposed gate driver and the designed RC snubber is validated using simulation and experiment at the 1 MHz switching frequency. The results show that the proposed gate driver with RC snubber eliminates crosstalk by maintaining any spurious gate spike below the gate threshold voltage.

Multilevel current reinjection (MLCR) concept provides self-commutation capability to thyristors, enabling thyristor based current source converters (CSC) to operate under negative firing angle. It also lowers the input current harmonic distortion. This is achieved by using an auxiliary reinjection bridge. Extensive experimental results are presented in this paper to analyse the performance of the 3-level MLCR CSC for different snubber components across the reinjection bridge. The trade-off in the choice of the snubber circuit is illustrated, with its influence on the AC side line current and DC side output voltage of the 3-level MLCR CSC.

Abstract:
High-frequency wireless power transfer (WPT) technology provides superior compatibility in the alignment with various WPT standards. However, high-efficiency and compact single-phase power switching systems with ideal snubber circuits are required for maximum power transfer capability. This research aims to develop an inverter using Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistors, optimized RCD (resistor/capacitor/diode) snubber circuits, and gate drivers, each benefitting WPT technology by reducing the switching and conduction loss in charging electric vehicle batteries. A full-bridge GaN inverter was simulated and instituted as part of the wireless charging circuit design. The RCD circuits were adjusted by transferring maximum power from the power supply to the transmitter inductor. For verification of the simulated output, lab-scale experiments were implemented for two half-bridges controlled by gate drivers with corresponding snubber circuits. After authenticating the output results, the GaN inverter was tested with an input range of 30 V to deduce the success of charging electric vehicle batteries within an efficient time frame. The developed inverter, at 80 kHz frequency, was applied in place of a ready-to-use evaluation board, fully reducing less harmonic distortion and greatly increasing WPT system efficiency (~93%). In turn, the designed GaN inverter boasts considerable energy savings, resulting in a more cost-effective solution for manufacturers.
