The topology of LLC half bridge resonant converter provides ZVS characteristic. The voltage stress and current stress are smaller than that of the general resonant converters. So the LLC HB resonant converter can be considered as a optimal circuit for the notebook computer adapter. In the adapter design, we should consider the weight, the size and the overheat of the adapter. Thus the higher efficiency is an essential particular. First of all, the optimal design of transformer is the most important facts. Some parameters should be considered in order to get the highest efficiency. The adapter is designed through the considering of these parameters including the PFC circuit as the pre-regulator. It converts AC line input into about DC 390V link voltage of the LLC HB converter input and the converter has 16V/90W ratings. The efficiency measured is about up to 93%.

ITER 토카막의 초전도코일에 전원을 공급하는 Plant는 CCPS (Correction Coil Power Supply System), TFPS(Toroidal Field Power Supply System), PFCS(Poloidal Field & Central Solenoid)으로 구성되어 있다. 각 Plant의 AC/DC 컨버터는 초전도 코일에 막대한 전류를 흘려 토카막 내에서 1억도에 달하는 열과 전자장의 압력으로 플라즈마상태의 수소를 결합시켜 핵융합에 도달하도록 한다. MCS(Master Control System)은 플라즈마가 핵융합을 잘 구현할 수 있도록 초전도 코일에 공급하는 전원을 총괄적으로 제어한다. 특히 PFCS MCS는 토카막 장치에서 다른 Plant와의 Interface가 복잡하여 설계 및 제작에 어려움이 많다. 본 논문에서는 PFCS MCS가 ITER의 설계요건과 국제기술기준에 맞게 설계하고, 제작하였는지를 확인하기 위해 공장에서 최종 검사하는 FAT(Factory Acceptance Test) 절차를 소개하고 여러 가지 시험을 통하여 평가한 내용을 보이고자 한다.

AC to DC converter that consists of relatively simple diode rectifier devices has been widely used in the field of the electric propulsion system. Also, since this rectifier includes large harmonics in the input current, a variety of researches have been developed to reduce the harmonics. The proposed method of this paper is to reduce the harmonics included in the input current of rectifiers and propulsion motor by injecting the output current of diode rectifier into the input of them. In addition, the proposed method ensures electrical safety through the respective isolation of the injection current, the source, and the loads using the Wye-Delta insulating transformer applied in current injection device that is installed in the input circuit of rectifiers and propulsion motor. The proposed method is simulated by applying to the electric propulsion ship that is currently operating. We confirm the validity of the proposed method compared with conventional power conversion system.

To improve the efficiency of PDP TV, it should minimize the power losses transpired during AC-to-DC power conversion and PDP driving process. Generally the input power supply for PDP driving employes a two-stage power factor corrected converter, and it independently consists of sustain driver, which has high power consumption. However, such a circuit configuration has a difficulty for the PDP market requires low cost. To alleviate this problem, a new circuit composition is presented. It integrates input power supply with sustain driver in a single power stack. The input power supply of the proposed circuit has a single-stage structure to minimize power conversion loss, and it directly supplies power to the sustain driver so as to reduce the system size and cost.

본 논문에서는 전세계적으로 차세대 에너지절감 반도체로 각광을 받고 있는 GaN 소자의 연구개발 동향에 관하여 발표하고자 한다. GaN 반도체는 와이드 밴드갭(Eg=3.4eV)과 고온 안정성($700^{\circ}C$)등 재료적인 특징으로 인하여 고출력 RF 전력증폭기와 고전력용 전력반도체 응용에 큰 장점을 가진다. 고출력용 GaN RF 전력증폭 소자의 전력밀도는 기존 Si-기반 LDMOS 트랜지스터보다 10배 이상 높아 제품의 소형화와 경량화를 통하여 30% 이상의 전력절감이 가능하며, 레이더, 위성등 송수신 트랜시버 모듈에 GaN 전력증폭기를 이용할 경우 기존 GaAs-기반 전력증폭기에 비하여 높은 전력밀도(>x8)와 높은 효율(>20%)로 인하여 모듈 크기를 50% 이상 줄임과 동시에 경량화를 이룰 수 있어 비행기, 위성등 탑재체의 에너지 절감에 크게 기여할 수 있다. 고전력용 GaN 전력 스위칭 소자는 기존 Si-기반 IGBT에 비하여 스위칭 손실과 온-저항 손실이 낮아 30% 이상의 에너지 절감이 가능하다. 뿐만 아니라, 일본 도요타 자동차사의 보고에 의하면 HEV등 전기자동차의 DC-DC 부스터 컨버터나 DC-AC 인버터에 GaN 전력반도체를 적용할 경우 경량화, 변환효율 향상, 전용 냉각시스템을 제거할 수 있어 연료소모를 10% 이상 줄일 수 있어 연간 400불 이상의 에너지 절감 효과를 가진다. 이러한 에너지절감 효과는 미국, 유럽, 일본등 선진국을 중심으로 차세대 GaN 반도체의 신시장 개척과 선진입을 위한 치열한 경쟁 구도의 구동력이 될 것이며, 본 논문을 통하여 GaN 반도체의 연구개발 방향과 상용화의 중요성을 함께 생각해보고자 한다.

For DC-AC power conversion from a high-voltage photovoltaic panel to a single-phase grid, the two-stage transformerless inverter with a buck-boost converter followed by a full-bridge inverter is widely used. To avoid an excessive leakage current due to the large parasitic capacitance of the photovoltaic panel, the full-bridge inverter can only adopt the bipolar PWM which results in much higher power loss compared to the unipolar PWM. In order to overcome such a poor efficiency, this paper proposes a new topology in which an IGBT and a diode for circuit isolation are added to the buck-boost converter. The proposed circuit isolation method allows the unipolar PWM in the full-bridge inverter without any increase in the leakage current so that the overall efficiency can be improved. The validity of the proposed solution is verified by computer simulation and power loss calculation.
