본 논문은 하이브리드 전기자동차의 12V보조배터리 충전용 DC-DC 컨버터의 최적설계에 관한 것으로 하이브리드 전기자동차의 특성상 DC-DC 컨버터는 최대부하의 $30\%\~70\%$ 정도의 비교적 낮은 부하영역에서 주로 동작하므로 이에 따른 적절한 설계가 요구된다. 따라서 DC-DC 컨버터의 주 동작영역에서 효율이 높도록 주요 설계요소인 스위칭 주파수와 고주파 변압기의 누설인덕턴스를 적절히 선정하고 코아의 윈도우 면적을 최소화하는 최적설계에 관한 연구이다.

This paper introduces an optimal design technique for a 250-watt isolation transformer using a recently developed optimization method, dynamic encoding algorithm for searches(DRAS). Although the optimal design technique for transformers dates back to 1970s and local optimization is often undertaken using FEM nowadays, literature concerning global optimization of transformer cores is rarely found against its importance. In this paper, a small isolation transformer is used as a model to be optimized with application of DEAS to corresponding mathematical description. The optimization result confirms that DEAS can be successfully employed to design transformer cores for various design specifications only by changing cost functions.

An integrated two-in-one transformer applicable to PSUs for a 120 W LED TV is proposed. This transformer comprises a PFC inductor and an LLC transformer placed and integrated on an E-I-E type magnetic core. Performance is evaluated by observing the coupling coefficients of the proposed two-in-one transformer under various air gap topologies. Among the topologies studied, an integrated transformer with centered air gap shows stable operational characteristics with a minimized mutual coupling (interference). Furthermore, applicability of the proposed integrated transformer to PSUs for a 120 W LED TV is studied from the viewpoint of integrating different magnetic components into one core, resulting to low weight, low cost, and high power density.
