본 논문에서는 buck-boost 형태에 기초한 전류원형 PWM 인버터를 제안하고, 이를 태양광과 계통 연계를 위한 인터페이스 회로로서의 타당성을 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 제안하는 회로는 다섯 개의 스위칭 소자를 가지게 되는데, 이 중 단 하나의 스위치만이 쵸핑동작을 수행하게 되고, 나머지 스위치들은 출력단의 정, 부 방향을 결정짓는데 이용된다. 그러므로 스위칭에 의한 손실을 상당히 저감시킬 수 있다. 또한 입력단의 인덕터 전류를 전류 불연속 모드로 동작 시켜 별도의 입력 전류의 검출이 없이도 출력단을 단위 역률화 할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 제안하는 계통 연계형 인버터에 대한 동작을 이론적으로 자세히 분석하고 150[W]급 시작품의 실험 결과로 이의 타당성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 하나의 인덕터만을 사용하여 동작하는 벅부스트 방식의 새로운 배터리 이퀄라이저를 제안하고, 그 동작을 살펴본다. 제안된 배터리 이퀄라이저는 배터리 전압을 센싱할 필요 없이, 벅부스트의 DCM(전류 불연속) 모드를 이용하여 배터리 간의 에너지를 순차적으로 순환시키고 이 과정을 반복하여 배터리 간의 전압을 균등화한다. 즉, 제안된 회로는 전압 센싱을 필요로 하지 않으므로 제어 회로를 단순화 시킬 수 있고, 인덕터를 하나만 사용함으로써 회로 자체의 크기와 가격을 줄일 수 있는 장점을 가진다.

A light-emitting diode (LED) has been increasingly applied to various industrial fields and general lightings because of its high efficiency, low power consumption, environment-friendly characteristic and long lifetime. To drive this LED lighting, various types of power converters have been applied. Also, power factor correction (PFC) techniques play an important role in the power supply technology. In this paper, design and control of a DCM interleaved boost PFC converter is discussed. The proposed converter can reduce current ripples at input and output side by cancelling an each phase of inductor currents. Since the IC does not require the auxiliary winding of inductor for current detection, simple PFC circuit is achieved. Therefore, it contributes to increase efficiency and downsize the whole system volume, cost. Also, the performance of the proposed system is demonstrated through experiments.

The operational modes are theoretically analyzed, and then the validity of the proposed system was verified through simulation and experimental results using a prototype.

This paper presents a current-source-inverter based on a buck-boost configuration md its application for residential photovoltaic system. The proposed circuit has five switches. Among them, only one switch acts as chopping, and the other determine the polarity of output; therefore, it can reduce the switching loss. Because the input inductor current is operated on the discontinuous conduction mode, high power factor can be achieved without additional input current controller. So the overall system shows a simple structure. The operational modes are analysed in depth, and then it was verified through the experimental results using a 150[W] prototype equipped with digital signal processor TMS320F241.

The system efficiency of the proposed Buck-Boost AC-DC converter is increased by soft switching method. The converter includes to merit of power factor correction (PFC) from sinusoidal control of input current. The switching behavior of control switches operates with soft switching by partial resonance, and then the proposed converter has high system efficiency with decrement of switching power loss. The input current waveform in proposed converter is got to be a sinusoidal form of discontinuous quasi-pulse row in proportion to magnitude of AC input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching. Therefore, the input power factor is nearly unity. The output voltage of the converter is regulated by PWM control technique. The discontinuous mode action of current flowing into inductor makes to simplify control method and control components. The proposed PFC Buck-Boost converter is analyzed to compare with the conventional PFC Buck-Boost converter. Some computer simulative results and experimental results confirm to the validity of the analytical results.

This paper is studied on a new DCM-ZVS step up-down AC-DC converter of high performance, that is, high system efficiency and power factor correction (PFC). The switching devices in the proposed converter are operated by soft switching technique using a new quasi-resonant circuit, and are driven with discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) according to pulse width modulation (PWM). The quasi-resonant circuit uses a step up-down inductor and a loss-less snubber capacitor. The proposed converter with DCM also simplifies the requirement of control circuits and reduces the number of control components. The input AC current waveform in the proposed converter becomes a quasi-sinusoidal waveform proportional to the magnitude of input AC voltage under constant switching frequency. As a result, the proposed converter obtains low switching power loss and high efficiency, and its input power factor is nearly in unity. The validity of the analytical findings is confirmed by some computer simulation results and experimental results.

In many countries, such as developing countries where electricity is scarce, small wind turbines in the form of Off Grid are an effective solution to solve power supply problems. In some countries, the expansion of power systems and the decline of electricity-intensive areas have led to the use of small wind power in urban road lighting, mobile communications base stations, aquaculture and seawater desalination. With this change, the size of the small wind power industry is expected to have greater potential than large-scale wind power. In the case of small wind power generators, the generator is controlled at a variable speed, and the voltage and current generated by the generator have many harmonic components. To solve this problem, the AC to DC converter to be studied in this paper is a three-phase step-up type converter with a single switch. The inductor current is controlled in discontinuous mode, and has a characteristic of having a unit power factor by eliminating the harmonic of the input current. The proposed converter is composed of LCL filter and three phase rectification boost converter at the input stage and a single phase full bridge for grid connection. It is a control system with energy storage system(ESS) that the system stabilization can be pursued against the electric power.
