Abstract

Since the introduction of electronically controlled engines and electric propulsion ships, the need for an uninterruptible power supply for emergency power supply devices that use batteries has gained importance. The bidirectional converter in such emergency power supply devices is a crucial component. This paper proposes, a topology for an improved DC-DC bidirectional converter that is characterized by a high voltage conversion ratio and low voltage stress of switches. To confirm the performance of the converter, a computer simulation was executed with PSIM software. The conversion ratio of the proposed converter was found to be four times higher than the conventional boost converter in step-up mode and one-fourth that of the conventional buck converter in step-down mode, and the voltage stress of the switches was one-fourth of the high-side voltage. Moreover, the proposed converter was confirmed to be able to distribute equal currents between two interleaved modules without using any extra current-sharing control method because of the charge balance of its blocking capacitors.

최근 전자제어엔진 및 전기추진선박이 도입된 이래, 배터리를 사용하는 비상 전력공급시스템에서 무정전 전원공급장치의 중요성이 강조되어왔다. 비상 전력공급시스템에서 양방향 컨버터는 중요한 구성요소이다. 본 연구에서는 개선된 DC-DC 양방향 컨버터의 토폴로지를 제시한다. 이것은 기존의 컨버터에 비해 전압변환율은 증가되고 스위치에 인가되는 전압 스트레스는 감소되는 장점을 지닌다. 제안된 컨버터의 성능을 확인하기 위해 소프트웨어 PSIM을 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이 컨버터의 변환율은 기존의 컨버터에 비해 승압모드에서 4배, 강압모드에서 1/4배 이었고 스위치에 걸리는 전압은 고압 측의 1/4배 이었다. 또한 블로킹 커패시터가 전하를 균등하게 분배하기 때문에 다른 추가 제어회로 없이 인터리브 모듈 사이에서 전하가 균등하게 분담된다는 것을 확인하였다.
