Among transport vehicles, Special Vehicles (SVs) are seriously exposed to energy and environmental problems. In particular, elevator cars used when moving objects in high-rise buildings increase the engine's rotational speed (radian per second: RPM). At this time, when the vehicle accelerates rapidly while idling, energy consumption increases explosively along with the engine speed, and a lot of soot is generated. The purpose of this paper is to develop a bi-directional DC-DC converter for control of vehicle power and secondary battery used in an elevated ladder vehicle (EC) used in the moving industry. As a result of this paper, the performance test of the converter was conducted. The charging/discharging state of the converter was simulated using DC power supply and DC electronic load, and a performance experiment was conducted to measure the input/output power of the converter through a power meter. Through this experimental result, it was confirmed that the efficiency was more than 92% in Buck mode and Boost mode at maximum 1.2kW output.

Novel zero-voltage switching(ZVS) dual inductor-fed DC-DC converter integrating a conventional dual inductor-fed boost converter(DIFBC) and a parallel bidirectional boost converter has been proposed. Most of current-fed type boost topologies including dual inductor schemes have crucial defects such as a high voltage spike on the main switch when it comes to turning off, an unattainable soft start-up due to the limited range of duty ratio, above 50%, and considerable switching losses due to the hard switching. By adding two auxiliary switches and an output capacitor on the conventional DIFBC, the proposed circuit can solve mentioned problems and improve the efficiency with simple methods. The operational principle and theoretical analysis of the proposed converter have been included. Experimental results based on a 42V input, 400V/1A output and 50kHz prototype are shown to verify the proposed scheme.

In this paper, the bi-directional soft switching DC-DC converter using ZCT(Zero Current Transition) method is proposed for using battery application system. This topology is composed of soft switching bi-directional buck/boost converter having the ZCT auxiliary circuit with two switches, two resonant capacitors, one resonant inductor. Therefore, the proposed topology can reduce switching loss. To verify the validity of the proposed topology, theoretical analysis and simulation results are presented.

A DC power system has many loads with various functions. In particular, these sizable loads take the form of power electronic converters. When they are tightly regulated, the loads appear as constant power loads and result in negative incremental input impedance. Under certain conditions the effect of such loads on the power system is causes instability. In this paper, converter with a large storage capacitor and a lag compensator is proposed as a DC bus conditioner to mitigate the voltage transients on the bus. In addition, the proposed control approach has the advantage of performing both the functions of mitigating the voltage bus transients and maintaining the level of energy stored. Simulation and experimental results showed that the proposed control method was operated well in a small-scale DC power system that contained subsystems with constant power characteristics, such as DC/DC converters and electrical drives.

Recently, as the demand of the environmental-friendly energy storage system such as an electric double-layer condenser increases, that of the bidirectional charger/discharger for the systems also increases. However, when charging/discharging mode-change occurs, the charger/discharger employing a bi-directional DC-DC converter with a commercialized analog controller has a complex circuit scheme, and a poor transient response. On the other hand, if a single digital controller is used for the bi-directional mode, the system performances can be improved by application of an advanced power-processing algorithm. In the paper, an environmental-friendly power storage systems including an Electric Double Layer Capacitor(EDLC) banks were developed with a bi-directional buck-boost converter and a digital signal processor (TMS320F28335). A simulation test-bed was realized and tested by MATLAB Simulink, and the hardware experiment was performed which shows that the dynamic response was improved such as the simulation results.

본 논문에서는 풀-브리지 컨버터 회로를 기반으로 하며 양방향 전력변환이 가능한 DC-DC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안하는 컨버터는 부하의 상태에 상관없이 출력전압을 일정하게 유지하면서 연속적인 양방향 전력변환이 가능하다. 본 논문에서 대상으로 하는 부하는 충/방전기로 컨버터 출력에 여러 대의 충/방 전기가 병렬로 접속되며, 각각의 충/방전기는 개별로 동작한다. 따라서 충/방전기용 양방향 DC-DC 컨버터는 충/방전기의 동작 상태에 관계없이 연속적인 양방향 전력변환이 가능해야 한다. 제안하는 양방향 컨버터의 성능을 확인하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 제안한 컨버터가 부하급변 상태에서도 양방향 전력변환을 정상적으로 수행하는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 UPS 기능을 갖는 단상 태양광 발전 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안하는 시스템은 태양광 어레이 (photovoltaic array)에서 최대전력을 얻기 위해 MPPT (maximum power point tracking)를 수행하는 컨버터, 계통전원 상태나 태양광 발전량에 상관없이 부하에 정현파 전압을 공급하는 인버터, 태양광 어레이에서 발전된 잉여전력을 계통으로 전달하거나 부하에 필요한 전력을 dc bus로 공급하는 인버터, 정전시 dc bus에 전력을 공급하는 양방향 컨버터 (bidirectional converter)로 구성된다. 제안하는 시스템은 발전된 전력을 계통으로 전달할 뿐만 아니라, UPS (uninterruptible power supply)기능도 수행하는 시스템으로 계통전압이 불안정하거나 정전시에도 부하에 안정적이고 깨끗한 전압을 항상 공급할 수 있다. 각각의 인버터, 컨버터, 및 양방향 컨버터는 dc bus를 공유하며, dc bus의 전압에 따라 동작상태가 결정이 된다. dc bus중심의 제어는 dc bus전압을 안정적으로 유지시키며, 부하에 걸리는 전압의 변동을 최소로 하고 시스템의 디자인 및 제어를 단순화한다. 모든 알고리즘과 제어기를 하나의 마이크로 컨트롤러로 구현하였고 제안된 시스템의 우수성을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.
