This paper studies a novel boost DC-DC converter operated high efficiency for discontinuous current mode (DCM) control. The converter worked in DCM eliminates the complicated circuit control requirement, reduces a number of components, and reduces the used reactive components size. In the general DCM converter, the switching devices are turned-on the zero current switching (ZCS), and the switching devices must be switched-off at a maximum reactor current. To achieve the zero voltage switching (ZVS) at the switching turn-off, the proposed converter is constructed by using a new loss-less snubber circuit. Soft-switched operation of the proposed boost converter is verified by digital simulation and experimental results. A new boost converter achieves the soft-switching for all switching devices without increasing their voltage and current stresses. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of boost DC-DC converter is high.

This paper presents a new interleaved pulse-width modulation (PWM) boost-flyback converter to achieve power factor correction (PFC) and regulate DC bus voltage. The adopted boost-flyback converter has a high voltage conversion ratio to overcome the limit of conventional boost or buck-boost converter with narrow turn-off period. The proposed converter has wide turn-off period compared with a conventional boost converter. Thus, the higher output voltage can be achieved in the proposed converter. The interleaved PWM can further reduce the input and output ripple currents such that the sizes of inductor and capacitor are reduced. Since boundary conduction mode (BCM) is adopted to achieve power factor correction, power switches are turned on at zero current switching (ZCS) and switching losses are reduced. The circuit configuration, principle operation, system analysis, and design consideration of the proposed converter are presented in detail. Finally, experiments conducted on a laboratory prototype rated at 500W were presented to verify the effectiveness of the converter.

In this study, single-phase and three-level boost converters applied to the photovoltaic system were compared and analyzed in terms of efficiency and power density according to the input voltage and load conditions. For accurate analysis of efficiency, the losses in each device of the single-phase and three-level boost converters were derived using mathematical equations and simulations by using the PSIM thermal module. Then, the losses were compared with the efficiency confirmed through the actual experiments. Results confirmed that the efficiency and power density can be improved by applying the three-level boost converter to the system according to the selection of the switching frequency.

A new SPWM inverter using three-phase boost converter by auxiliary partial resonant with high power factor and high efficiency is proposed. The proposed boost converter is constructed by using a resonant network in parallel with the switch of the conventional boost converter. The devices are switched at zero voltage or zero current eliminating the switching loss. A new Partial resonant boost converter achieves zero-voltage switching (ZVS) or zero-current switching (ZCS) for all switch devices without increasing their voltage and current stresses. This paper introduces elimination of low-order harmonics compared with conventional SPWM inverter and SPWM inverter using three-phase boost converter by auxiliary Partial resonant.

This paper presents a control method for reducing the current distortion in an indirect matrix converter (IMC) operating in boost mode under unbalanced input conditions. IMCs operating in boost mode are useful in distributed generation (DG) systems. They are connected with renewable energy systems (RESs) and the grid to transmit the power generated by the RES. However, under unbalanced voltage conditions of the RES, which is connected with the input stage of the IMC operating in boost mode, the input-output currents are distorted. In particular, the output current distortions cause a ripple of the power, which is transferred to the grid. This aggravates the reliability and stability of the DG system. Therefore, in this paper, a control method using positive/negative sequence voltages and currents is proposed for reducing the current distortion of both side in IMCs operating in boost mode. Simulation and experimental results have been presented to validate effectiveness of the proposed control method.

This paper proposes a hybrid-boost Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) for the Medium-Voltage (MV) Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) employed in subsea applications, such as oil and gas recovery. In the presented architecture, a hybrid-boost MMC with a reduced number of semiconductor devices driving a multiphase Induction Machine (IM) is investigated. The stepped output voltage generated by the MMC reduces or eliminates the filtering requirements. Moreover, the boosting capability of the proposed architecture eliminates the need for bulky low-frequency transformers at the converter output terminals. A detailed illustration of the hybrid-boost MMC operation, the expected limitations/constraints, and the voltage balancing technique are presented. A simulation model of the proposed MV hybrid-boost MMC-based five-phase IM drive has been built to investigate the system performance. Finally, a downscaled prototype has been constructed for experimental verification.

In this paper, we design a DC-DC boost converter with RF noise immunity to supply a stable positive output voltage for OLED displays. For RF noise immunity, an input voltage variation reduction circuit (IVVRC) is adopted to ensure display quality by reducing the undershoot and overshoot of output voltage. The boost converter for a positive voltage Vpos operates in the SPWM-PWM dual mode and has a dead-time controller using a dead-time detector, resulting in increased power efficiency. A chip was fabricated using a 0.18 um BCDMOS process. Measurement results show that power efficiency is 30% ~ 76% for load current range from 1 mA to 100 mA. The boost converter with the IVVRC has an overshoot of 6 mV and undershoot of 4 mV compared to a boost converter without that circuit with 18 mV and 20 mV, respectively.

This paper explores the variation of DC-Link current ripple analysis in terms of duty cycle and phase angle of Multi-phase/Multi-stage boost converter. A 2-Stage/1-Stage boost converter DC-Link current is used to determine the difference between the 1st stage diode current and the 2nd stage inductor current. Each stage boost converter diode and inductor current is subordinate to the phase angle and duty cycle. The magnitude of the ripple current is variable according to phase angle and duty cycle. The analysis results are verified by variation of DC-Link current ripple using a 1kW typical 2-stage/1-stage boost converter.

데이터 불균형 문제는 분류 및 예측 문제에서 하나의 범주에 속하는 표본의 수가 다른 범주들에 속하는 표본 수에 비하여 현저하게 적을 경우 나타난다. 데이터 불균형이 심화됨에 따라 범주 사이의 분류 경계영역이 왜곡되고 결과적으로 분류자의 학습성과가 저하되는 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 데이터 불균형 문제를 해결하기 위하여 Geometric Mean-based Boosting (GM-Boost) 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. GM-Boost 알고리즘은 기하평균 개념에 기초하고 있어 다수 범주와 소수 범주를 동시에 고려한 학습이 가능하고 오분류된 표본에 집중하여 학습을 강화할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 기업부실 예측문제를 활용하여 GM-Boost 알고리즘의 성과를 검증한 결과 기존의Under-Sampling, Over-Sampling 및 AdaBoost 알고리즘에 비하여 우수한 분류 정확성을 보여주었고 데이터 불균형 정도에 관계없이 견고한 학습성과를 나타냈다.

현재 일상생활에서 얼굴 인식은 신원확인, 보안 등의 목적으로 사용되고 있다. 얼굴인식의 과정은 첫 번째로 얼굴이미지의 특징을 추출해야 한다. 다음으로 추출된 특징을 학습하고 그 중 학습이 잘된 식별력 있는 특징을 선택하게 된다. 그 이후 식별력 있는 특징을 이용하여 얼굴이미지를 인식하게 된다. 얼굴인식을 위해 사용하는 얼굴이미지의 특징의 수는 매우 많다. 이 많은 특징을 학습 및 인식에 다 사용할 경우 학습 시간과 컴퓨팅 자원의 효율성이 떨어지는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 최근 여러가지의 Boosting 기법이 소개되어왔다. Boosting 기법은 특징을 효율적으로 선택하여 학습 알고리즘의 성능을 좋게해주는 기법이다. 그 중 MutualBoost라는 기법이 있는데 이 기법은 특징간의 상호정보를 이용하여 특징을 효율적으로 선택하게 하는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 MutualBoost의 효과를 더 증대시키기 위해서 개별적인 특징학습이 아니라 특징들을 Group화하여 특징학습을 하는 GroupMutual-Boost기법을 제안한다. 특징들을 Group화 함으로써 특징의 학습 및 선택 시간이 줄어들게 되고 컴퓨팅 자원을 보다 효율적으로 사용할 수 있다.
