Energy recovery circuit and energy recovery method using the same

Abstract

An energy recovery circuit wherein an energy stored in an inductor is applied to a panel to reduce a charge time and improve an energy recovery efficiency. In the energy recovery circuit, a switch, a capacitor and an inductor is provided to form a closed loop. A panel capacitor is equivalently provided at the panel. When the switch is turned on, a current component of an energy is charged in the inductor by an energy charged in the capacitor. When the switch is turned off, an inverse voltage is inducted into the inductor and a closed loop is formed by the inductor and the panel capacitor, thereby applying only an inverse voltage of the inductor to the panel capacitor.
