This paper introduces a new current sharing technique to Interleaved Boost Converter (IBC) using carrier slope control. The IBC is able to boost the input voltage and operates at higher current levels and has various advantages over a single power module. However, how to balance the current each module is still important problem. To solve this problem, the proposed technique can distribute the power and load current equally based on master-slave current sharing method. Unlike a conventional approach, this technique can be extended even though the current stress of switching components at slave modules is significantly smaller than that of the master module. The simulation and the experimental results are presented to show the validity.

If the withdrawal force of strand driven roll which is controlled with predetermined speed isn't distributed regularly in continuous casting process, mold level is changed cyclically and slab quality is not good. In this paper, both casting speed control and load sharing control algorithm of strand driven roll according to ratio which is set up by operator at same time is proposed. The proposed algorithm is to share the withdrawal force by following torque current of each driven roll as average torque current by changing speed reference of each driven roll motor. The load sharing control with anti-wind up for improvement transient state is adopted and the proposed algorithm is implemented in POSCO pilot caster.

We discussed load CUlTent sharing for Master/Slave convertedMSC) type two DC-DC Converters parallel operation using a single current sensor method. In the conventional method, two CTs have been used to share t the load CUlTent equally with two coηverters‘ This paper presents a novel load CUlTent distribution method u using a single CUlTent sensor that can share load CUlTent effectively with only one CT in the Master-Slave C conveη:ers(MSCs) type. To confirm parallel operational performance of proposed DC-DC converters parallel operation, two experimental prototype converters were designed, implemented and experimented under three a arbitrary conditions. A load cur‘rent shahring perforrnance of the proposed method was compared with that of a c conventional peak CUt${\gamma}$ent method requmng two CTs. Those experimental results show that load cUlTent s sharing performance of paralleled two converters using a single CUlTent sensor was good and operated as well a as conventional method (ex, Pe밟 CUlTent Method)

본 논문은 스위칭 주파수 스펙트럼 분석에 기반한 모듈형 병렬 양방향 DC-DC 컨버터의 전류분배 제어방법을 제안한다. 병렬 DC-DC 컨버터 각 모듈의 전류분배 균일도 향상은 동작안정성 확보, 효율 및 신뢰성 향상을 위해 매우 중요한 요소이다. 드룹 제어의 적용을 통해 별도의 통신연결 없이 각 병렬모듈간 전류 분배량 제어가 가능하지만, 선로 저항의 차이나 측정 소자의 편차가 발생할 경우 각 모듈간 균일한 전류분배가 어려운 문제가 존재한다. 각 모듈간 전류분배를 위해 각 개별모듈의 입력 전류에 존재하는 스위칭 주파수 성분만을 분석하여 병렬 모듈 사이의 전류분배 차이를 검출하고, 그 차이를 최소화 하도록 드룹 이득을 단계적으로 조절하는 제어 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 제어 알고리즘은 에너지 저장장치와 연계된 380V급 DC 배전 시스템 모델을 대상으로 검증하였다.

In the multi-phase interleaved converter with peak current mode control, current imbalance is measured when inductors of converter module are not exactly identical. In this paper current-sharing controller is proposed to balance phase current of converter modules. It also is designed to have good transient response. Proposed method implemented the 2-phase and 4-phase interleaved boost converter with imbalanced inductance. Experimental results verify the performance of Current share during the transient state of converter.

A software-controlled unregulated bus system in which the main bus is directly connected to a battery and the duty-ratio for PWM switch is controlled by the on-board satellite software, is usually used for LEO satellites. This paper proposes a new power-stage circuit that can be available for modularization of a power regulator which is used at the software-controlled unregulated bus system satellite. And we analyze the proposed power-stage operation according to its operating modes and verify it by performing software simulation and hardware experiment using prototype. We construct a parallel-module converter which is composed of the proposed power-stage and perform experiment to verify modular characteristics of the proposed power-stage. Finally, we verify the usefulness of the proposed power-stage by comparing above results with those of a parallel-module converter made of conventional power-stage.

With previously examined and analyzed results, we develop a modularizing method that can be available for unregulated bus system. And finally, we verify the possibility of the chosen modularizing method by executing simulation and performing prototype experiment.

Interleaved 컨버터의 경우 전류 리플을 줄여 출력 필터의 사이즈를 줄이기 위해 많이 사용된다. 하지만 모듈간 소자값의 편차가 발생할 경우 전류 불평형을 초래하게 되며, 이는 리플저감효과를 감소시키거나 방열문제, 노화촉진, 그리고 오동작을 일으킬 가능성을 높이게 한다. 특히 공진형 컨버터의 경우 주파수 제어를 시도하기 때문에 Interleaving 기법을 적용하여 효용성을 얻기에는 제약이 많다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 소자값의 불일치로 인한 전류 불평형 문제를 해결하기 위해 위상천이변조 제어를 제안한다. 동작원리와 시스템에 대한 분석을 제시하고, 모의실험을 통해 타당성을 검증한다.
