최근 저전압 입력에 의한 대용량 DC/DC 컨버터의 수요가 급증함에 따라 대용량 DC/DC 컨버터에서도 효율 및 저가화가 매우 중요한 요소로 자리 잡고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 저전압 대용량용 DC/DC 컨버터 구성에서 고효율 및 저가화를 위해 1개의 능동 스위치 소자에 의한 ZCS를 구현할 수 있는 새로운 타입의 공진형 Forward DC/DC 컨버터 구조를 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Recently, the development of ATM switch, a backbone system of BISDN, is receiving worldwide study. Because the development of large communication equipments like a switching system need a lot of time and cost, the performance evaluation by menas of simulation is needed for the higher efficiency of development before actual implementation. So, a general and objective input environment is necessary for proper simulation. The main purpose of this paper is to offer a traffic generator which can provide such input environment as a file for computer simulation of ATM switch. To offer diverse input environment of ATM switch, we select parameters, and implement ATM traffic generator with software technology. Basides, a program to verify the propriety of ATM traffic generator in also proposed. It is expected that the proposed ATM traffic generator will offer diverse input environment for computer simulation to evaluate new ATM switching system, not influenced by any system structure.

There are limitations to process high bandwidth traffic in B-ISDN with mesh- topology single bus architecture of current mobile communication system. And, it is impossible to import ATM switch using fixed length packet rather than variable length packet. Some implementations are able to process variable length packet, but there are some problems such as pre-processing for synchronization and bit delay. In this paper, we design a concentrator that can manipulate variable length packet without additional pre-process. There is on bit delay for packet starting signal in input interface, So it is more efficient to process packets, such that the concentrator can reduce he processing time as $\ulcornerlog2N\lrcorne＋1$ bit-time rather than N bit-time delay in ordinary concentrator. It is expected that the mobile communication system with partial mesh topology bus adopting the knockout switch architecture can process high bandwidth traffic in B-ISDN.

A new phase-shifted parallel-input/series-output(PISO) dual converter for tush-power step-up applications has been proposed. Since the proposed converter shows a low switch turn-off voltage stress, switching devices with low conduction loss can be employed in order to improve the power conversion efficiency. Moreover, it features a low output capacitor root-mean-square(RMS) current stress, low input current and output voltage ripple contents, and fast control-to-output dynamics compared to its PWM counterpart. In this paper, the operation of the proposed converter is analyzed in detail and its mathematical models and steady-state solutions are presented. A comparative analysis with the conventional PWM PISO dual converter is also provided. To confirm the operation, features, and validity of the Proposed converter, experimental results from an 800W, 24-350Vdc prototype are presented.

최근 급속한 산업 발달로 인하여 기존의 수 MW급 대용량 인버터가 산업용 팬, 컴프레서, 고속 철도 시스템 등 여러 분야에 사용되면서 이와 관련된 대용량 인버터 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 이런 대용량 인버터는 고효율과 직병렬의 구성된 전력용반도체 소자를 동시다발적으로 제어되어야하기 때문에 멀티레벨 인버터의 구조가 가장 적합하다. Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨 인버터는 커패시터와 다이오드를 사용하지 않고 스위치만으로 구성하며, 필터를 따로 구성하지 않아도 정현파와 유사하게 전압을 출력할 수 있다. 이로 인해 고주파 감소 및 각 셀을 직렬로 연결하여 입력전압보다 높은 출력전압을 얻을 수 있다. 또한, 스위칭 방법에 따라 동일한 Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨인버터 토폴로지에서도 각 THD와 온도에 따른 손실이 달라질 수 있다. Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨 인버터에서 이용하는 스위칭 방식은 첫 번째로 유니폴라 방식을 기본으로 한 Phase-shift가 있다. 이는 180도 위상차를 갖는 2개의 레퍼런스 파형과 위상천이가 된 캐리어 파형의 비교로 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) 을 수행한다. 두 번째 방식으로는 Level-shift가 있다. 이는 캐리어 파형을 IPD (In-Phase Disposition) 방식으로 수직적으로 대역폭이 연속적이게 나열하여 레퍼런스 파형과 비교하는 PWM방식이다. 본 논문에서는 Phase-shift와 Level-shift 방식에 따른 Cascaded H-bridge 인버터와 NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) 인버터를 결합한 토폴로지에서의 온도에 따른 손실을 분석하고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 비교 분석하였다.

최근 신재생 에너지 발전과 더불어 고효율, 고품질의 대용량 계통 연계형 발전에 대한 수요는 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 또한 스위치 소자값이 저렴해짐에 따라 새로운 멀티레벨 인버터에 대한 토폴로지 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 멀티레벨 인버터는 레벨을 증가시킴으로서 THD 감소와 고효율을 이룰 수 있는 반면, 다수의 DC 전원이 필요한 단점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 하나의 DC 전원을 입력하면 독립적인 3개의 DC 전원을 출력하는 멀티레벨용 DC/DC 컨버터를 제안한다.

This paper proposes a novel three-phase current-fed active clamp DC-DC converter for fuel cells. A single common active clamp branch is used to limit transient voltage across the three-phase full bridge and to realize zero-voltage switching(ZVS) in all switches. To apply for the power generation system current-fed type has been combined with the three-phase power conversion system. The proposed approach has the following advantages: an increase (by a factor of three) of input current and output voltage chopping frequencies; lower RMS current through the inverter switches with higher power transfer capability; reduction in size of reactive later components and the power conditioning system; better transformer utilization; increase of the system reliability. Therefore, the proposed three-phase current-fed active clamp DC-DC converter is appropriate for the boost type DC-DC converter for fuel cells and also applicable for the photovoltaic and battery charge system. The paper details the analysis, simulation and hardware implementation of the proposed system. Finally, experimental results with the proposed PWM strategy demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme on a 500W prototype converter.

To improve the current waveform of diode rectifiers, we propose a new operating principle for the voltage -doubler diode rectifiers. In the conventional voltage-doubler rectifier circuit, relatively large capacitors are used to boost the output voltage, while the proposed circuit uses smaller ones and a small reactor not to boost the output voltage but improve the input current waveform. A high input power factor of 97[%] and an efficiency of 98[%] are also obtained. The harmonic guide lines of proposed rectifier is no interfered with inverter switching, resulting in a simple, reliable and low-cost ac-to dc converters in comparison with the boost-type current-improving circuits.It compared conventional pulse-widthmodulated(PWM)inverter with half pulse-widthmodulated (HPWM) inverter. Proposed HPWM inverter eliminated dead-time by lowering switchingloss and holding over-shooting.
