A zero-voltage transition (ZVT) PWM boost PFC converter using a transformer to recover the resonant energy into the input voltage is proposed. The proposed converter reduces turn-off switching loss of the auxiliary switch. The resonant current of the auxiliary circuit is optimally reduced by the feed-forwarded input voltage. Moreover, the resonant energy of the auxiliary circuit is recovered into the load and input voltages. In this paper, the modes of converter operation are explained and analyzed, design guidelines are given, and experimental results of 1.2kW, 200kHz prototype system are presented.

The diagnosis of power converter using auxiliary circuit connected to output terminal is proposed and verified by experimental results in this paper. On contrary to conventional diagnosis method, the proposed monitoring technique is possible to measure the state of power converter and unbalanced output caused by a misfiring of switch and unusual control signal. Conventional method gives a monitoring approaches for only a unusual operation of power converter. In this paper, three signals with auxiliary circuit are obtained and analyzed to see the state of electrolytic capacitor, power semiconductor switches and output voltage balance. 2kVA inverter is made and fisted to verify the proposed circuit.

The railway vehicle has an auxiliary power unit for supplying power to the associated electronic control devices and passenger service unit. Typically, input voltage from the catenary for rolling stock is highly fluctuating according to the substation capacity, vehicle propulsion and regeneration. Especially, the frost and freezing on contact wire in winter can cause a blackout inside vehicle, and also brings about electronic components damaging and the system down. To prevent this problem, a large filter and capacitor is used. But this is not a perfect solution, because it is increasing weight of the unit. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to suppress the disturbance without adding devices. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has performance to suppress the disturbance at the sudden input voltage variations.

This paper proposes a zero-current-transition(ZCT) synchronous buck converter using auxiliary circuit with soft-switching for light weight and high efficiency. In this scheme, an auxiliary circuit is added to the conventional synchronous rectifier buck converter and used to achieve soft-switching condition for both the main switch and synchronous switch. In addition, the switch in the auxiliary circuit operates under soft-switching conditions. Thus, the proposed converter provides a higher efficiency. The basic operations, in this paper, are discussed and design guidelines are presented. The usefulness of the proposed converter is verified on a 200KHz, 20 W prototype converter.

In conventional Zero-Voltage-Transition(ZVT) PWM converters, zero-voltage turn-on and turn-off for main switch without increasing voltage/current stresses is achieved at a fixed frequency. The switching loss, stress, and noise, however, can't be minimized because they adopt auxiliary switches turned off under hard-switching condition. In this paper, new ZVS-PWM converters of which both active and passive switches are always operating with soft-switching condition are proposed. Therefore, the proposed ZVS-PWM converters are most suitable for avionics applications requiring high-power density. Breadboarded ZVS-PWM boost converters using power MOSFET are constructed to verify theoretical analysis.

코딩정보의 전송을 위하여 보조선에서 발생하는 오버헤드전이는 Sequence Switching Code (SSC) 알고리즘의 확장성을 제한하는 가장 큰 걸림돌이 되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 보조선을 사용하지 않고 SSC 회로를 구현하는 방법과 함께 이 방법을 사용하여 보조선을 사용하였을 때 보다 오버헤드전이를 적게 발생시키는 방법을 제시하였다. 실험결과 새로운 방법을 적용함으로써 보조선을 사용하는 방식에 비하여 오버헤드전이의 발생을 50% 이하로 줄이고 알고리즘의 효율을 약 30% 향상시킬 수 있었다.

This paper presents a soft-switching technique of single-stage power conversion Matrix Converter of AC-AC converters. Conventional hard-switching method is limited to operate at low switching frequency due to increased switching loss. In this paper, by additional auxiliary switch circuits, it is shown that the main switch of the matrix converter operate as a zero-voltage switches, and the auxiliary switch operate as a zero current switch. Finally, the soft-switching technique with auxiliary switches is compared with conventional hard-switching technique, and Is analyzed by simulation.

In this paper, a new soft switching three phase inverter with a quasi-resonant dc-link is presented. The proposed inverter has a dc-link switch and an auxiliary switch. The inverter switches are turned on and off under zero voltage switching condition and all auxiliary circuit switches and diodes are also soft switched. The control utilizes PWM and the auxiliary switch does not require an isolated gate drive circuit. In this paper, the operation analysis and design considerations of the proposed soft switching inverter are discussed. The presented experimental results of a realized prototype confirm the theoretical analysis.

In the previous paper, we have reported on the development of foaming sponge seat with the auxiliary spring member and suggested new possibility of the special seat with the auxiliary plastic member for movie theater chair. In this study, we have examined the major design parameters needed in the development of a foaming sponge seat in which the mesh type plastic member are inserted to improve the vibration transfer effect of a chair seat. Through analyzing several prototypes by applying experimentation as well as the experimental modal analysis method, it was confirmed that the effect of vibration transfer can be improved through the use of a mesh type plastic member and applied to the design of practical chair seat.
