This paper analyzed PFC of active clamp ZVS flyback converter by adding two methods PFC (power Factor Correction) circuit - two-stage and single-stage. The addition of active clamp circuit also provides a mechanism for achieving ZVS of both the primary and auxiliary switches. ZVS also limits the turn off di/dt of the output rectifier, reducing rectifier-switching loss and switching noise, due to diode reverse recovery. As a result, the proposed converters have characteristics of the reduced switching noise and high efficiency in comparison to conventional flyback converter. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed converter improve the input PF of 300W ZVS flyback converter by adding single-stage, two-stage PFC circuit.

In this paper, three-port flyback inverter with Active Power Decoupling(APD) circuit is analyzed. Conventional flyback inverter with passive power decoupling circuit needs the electrolytic capacitor with large capacitance for decoupling between constant DC power and instantaneous AC power. However the electrolytic capacitor has low lifespan about 50000 to 100000 hours. So the active power decoupling techniques are applied to reduce input capacitance of flyback inverter. Thus the overall system can achieve smaller size and longer lifespan. Proposed three-port flyback inverter is verified by design optimization, simulation and experimental result.

In the current source type active power filter, the DC current source is implemented using an inductor with large inductance by maintaining the inductor current constantly. In this case, to compensate the loss of the switching devices of the power converter and the inductor, some real power should be supplied to the filter from the source. This process is analyzed through the equivalent circuit which expresses the loss of the switching devices and the inductor with the equivalent resistor R. This work discusses the validation of this DC side equivalent circuit and points out the problems, through the experiments using the experimental active power filter with 220V, 10KVA ratings, and suggests a more accurate equivalent circuit which puts the saturation voltage of the power transistors and the threshold voltage of the diodes into consideration.

This paper presents the analyzed results of dynamic characteristics including steady state characteristics of the boost input type ZVS converter using the active clamp circuit by the state space averaging method. From the results, it can be seen that the converter has the 5th order transfer functions and the stable closed loop characteristic is obtained by using the compensated error amplifier with 2-pole and 1-zero. The validity of all analyzed results are verified by measurement.

This paper describes a low-cost single-phase active power filter, which consists of a half-bridge PWM inverter with a simple control circuit. In order to verify the performance of proposed active power filter, many computer simulations with EMTP codes and experimental works with a hardware prototype were done. Both results confirm that the proposed active power filter shows excellent performance to eliminate the harmonics generated in the single-phase non-linear load. The active power filter has advantage of low implementation cost and compact size, using a half-bridge inverter and a simple control circuit with only one current sensor. So, it can be fabricated as a plug-in type. This paper shows the necessity and a good possibility to apply such advantage to the electric railway system.

A high step-up dc-dc converter is proposed for photovoltaic power systems in this paper. The proposed converter consists of an input current doubler, a symmetrical switched-capacitor doubler and an active-clamp circuit. The input current doubler minimizes the input current ripple. The symmetrical switched-capacitor doubler is composed of two symmetrical quasi-resonant switched-capacitor circuits, which share the leakage inductance of the transformer as a resonant inductor. The rectifier diodes (switched-capacitor circuit) are turned off at the zero current switching (ZCS) condition, so that the reverse-recovery problem of the diodes is removed. In addition, the symmetrical structure results in an output voltage ripple reduction because the voltage ripples of the charge/pump capacitors cancel each other out. Meanwhile, the voltage stress of the rectifier diodes is clamped at half of the output voltage. In addition, the active-clamp circuit clamps the voltage surges of the switches and recycles the energy of the transformer leakage inductance. Furthermore, pulse-width modulation plus phase angle shift (PPAS) is employed to control the output voltage. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and experimental results obtained from a 400W prototype are presented to validate the performance of the proposed converter.
