A methodological study of an electronic ballast for electrodeless fluorescent lamps (EFLs)
including design and development issues is presented in this paper. The ballast is intended …

The practical mid‐range wireless power transfer (WPT) system with high‐quality resonant
tanks is detuned easily due to the variation in parameters of the resonant tanks, leading to …

Although compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) have been on the market for a long time, many
of them do not achieve the same power factor as the incandescent lamps do, which presents …

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the performance characteristics among
different dimming methods for electronic ballasts using the self-oscillating half-bridge (HB) …

This paper presents a new high power factor dimmable self-oscillating electronic ballast
(DSOEB), in which a variable inductor (VI) is used to control the fluorescent lamp (FL) power …

With the global concerns on the issue of how to conserve the limited energy resources,
compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) have been forced in a lot of countries to replace the …

This paper proposes a single-stage, single-switch, non-isolated step-up converter with
resonant inverter for a standalone photovoltaic battery-powered light-emitting diode (LED) …

The objective of the work is to improve the power factor of the compact fluorescent lamps
(CFLs) by reducing the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The power factor is improved by …

Increasing the operation frequency of Self-Oscillating Resonant Converters (SORC) is a
challenge due to reasons such as higher switching, magnetic component and driving circuit …

This paper presents a comparative analysis of dimmable self-oscillating electronic ballast for
fluorescent lamps. A review of general dimming methods presented in the literature is …
