This study proposes a small-signal model and control design for a two-stage DC-DC-AC converter to investigate its dynamic characteristics in relation to battery energy storage system. When the circuit analysis of the two-stage DC-DC-AC converter is attempted simultaneously, the mathematical procedure of deriving the dynamic equation is complex and difficult. The main idea of modeling the two-stage DC-DC-AC converter states that this topology is separated into a bidirectional DC-DC converter and a single-phase inverter with an equivalent current source corresponding to that of the inverter or converter. The dynamic equations for the separated converter and inverter are then derived using the state-space averaging technique. The procedures of building the small-signal model of the two-stage DC-DC-AC converter are described in detail. Based on the derived small-signal model, the individual controllers are designed through a frequency-domain analysis. The simulation and experimental results verify the validity of the proposed modeling approach and controller design.

A single-switch parallel resonant converter for induction heating is implemented. The circuit consists of an input LC-filter, a bridge rectifier, and a controlled power switch. The switch operates in soft commutation mode and serves as a high frequency generator. The output power is controlled via the switching frequency. A steady state analysis of the converter operation is presented. A closed-loop circuit model is also presented, and the experimental results are compared with the simulation results.

This paper proposes the novel boost input type resonant AC/DC converter. Since the proposed converter is single stage topology, it controls both of the input power factor and the output voltage at the same time, and resultingly obtains the high power factor of 99% with average current mode pulse width modulation. Especially, to accomplish the zero voltage switching, the resonance between the leakage inductance and external capacitor is used. For the theoretical consideration of the proposed converter, the six operation modes divided by means of current path are discussed, and the resonance characteristics in steady state are analyzed. To verify the validity of the proposed converter, a 200[W]($120[V_AC],\; 출력\; 48[V_DC],\; 4[A]$prototype converter was built and its experimental results were presented in this paper.

An interleaved single-stage AC/DC converter with a boost converter and an asymmetrical half-bridge topology is presented to achieve power factor correction, zero voltage switching (ZVS) and load voltage regulation. Asymmetric pulse-width modulation (PWM) is adopted to achieve ZVS turn-on for all of the switches and to increase circuit efficiency. Two ZVS half-bridge converters with interleaved PWM are connected in parallel to reduce the ripple current at input and output sides, to control the output voltage at a desired value and to achieve load current sharing. A center-tapped rectifier is adopted at the secondary side of the transformers to achieve full-wave rectification. The boost converter is operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to automatically draw a sinusoidal line current from an AC source with a high power factor and a low current distortion. Finally, a 240W converter with the proposed topology has been implemented to verify the performance and feasibility of the proposed converter.

This paper deals with the analysis, design and implementation of an AC-DC Zeta converter in discontinuous current mode (DCM) of operation used for power quality improvement at AC mains in direct torque controlled (DTC) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives. The designed Zeta converter feeds a direct torque controlled PMSM drive system. Modeling and simulation is carried out in a standard PSIM software environment. Test results are obtained on the developed prototype Zeta converter using DSP ADMC401. The results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of the Zeta converter in improving power quality at AC mains in the PMSM drive system.
