It is derived from a 3-level non differential double-boost PFC including fly-cap cells. The series-connection of the two low-voltage switching-cells is decoupled by a single flying capacitor that provides a direct fault-tolerant capability and a post-failure operation increasing the availability of converter. The monitoring of the voltages across flying capacitors allows a rapid detection and localization either for open circuit failure or short-circuits failure. A PWM （pulse width modulation） phase-disposition type reconfiguration is also used and presented in order to optimize both normal operation and post-fault continuation. The design and the most important features are highlighted thanks to a digital control frame and a mock-up rated to： AC voltage network 115 V-load 400 V-nominal power 4 kW-switching frequency 62 kHz.展开更多

Scattered neutrons from the object become a major disturbance and bring in artifacts and deviations in reconstruction re- suits, especially for hydrogenous material object. In this article, an iterative scattering correction method for fast neutron to- mography was proposed. In each loop of iteration the scattering component of the projections will be simulated by Mon- te-Carlo program MCNPX based on the previous reconstruction result and then it will be subtracted from original projections. The differences between scattering components at different perspectives were quantitatively evaluated and an average scatter- ing component image was used for all projections finally. Smooth and uniform slices with more clear edges were obtained and the new reconstructed attenuation coefficients are quite close to the real one compared to the results without scattering correc- tion, in which case the relative error of the reconstructed attenuation coefficients is about 10%-30%.展开更多
