High intensity discharge lamps are typically operated at low frequency to avoid damage from
acoustic resonance. Accordingly, an electronic ballast normally comprises a buck converter …

A digital control electronic ballast for the metal halide lamp is proposed based on the low-
frequency square wave, and a comprehensive control strategy is employed for the zero …

The application of dimming control in high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps fed with square
waveforms can influence important lamp parameters such as: lamp lifetime, efficiency …

This paper presents a new kind of digital control metal halide lamp electronic ballast. A zero-
voltage-switch quasi-square-wave (ZVS-QSW) dual Buck converter is adopted here. In this …

Analysis and design of a dimming control based on the Discrete Sliding Mode Control
(DSMC) strategy for electronic ballasts (without resonant tank) is presented. To avoid the …

In the paper, a novel pulse ignition circuit is proposed for electronic ballast with the zero-
voltage-switching quasi-square wave (ZVS-QSW) converter; the voltage pulse of the …

The ever increasing amount of global energy consumption based on the application of fossil
fuels is threatening the earth's natural resources and environment. Worldwide, grid-based …

En este artículo presenta un análisis de estabilidad para lámparas de HID. Este análisis
esta basado en la observación de la dinámica remanente del sistema. Se utiliza un modelo …

Abstract Analysis and design of a dimming control based on the Discrete Sliding Mode
Control (DSMC) strategy for electronic ballast (without resonant tank) is presented. To avoid …

In this paper a stability analysis based on the remaining dynamics for an HID lamp and
electronic ballast without resonant tank (non resonant ballast) is presented. This analysis …
