In this paper, a PFC(Power Factor Correction) electronic ballast with constant voltage-fed is proposed. The proposed PFC electronic ballast is combined of a high-efficiency boost converter and a conventional half bridge inverter. It is proved that the ripple of input-current and the input-current's harmonic of the proposed PFC electronic ballast are reduced using the voltage divider and soft-switching technique. It is demonstrated that simulation results for fluorescent lamp correspond with theoretical analysis.

기존의 무정전전원장치는 배터리를 보조전원으로 사용하고, 3상 AC/DC 전력 변환 시스템으로 사이리스터의 위상 제어방법을 사용하였다. 하지만 배터리를 보조전원으로 사용함으로써 큰 부피와 수명에 제한을 받게 될 뿐만 아니라, 전원전류의 큰 고조파와 점호각의 증가와 함께 역률이 낮아지는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 무정전전원장치의 역률 개선과 전원전류의 고조파 저감을 위해 기존의 AC/DC 정류기 대신에 SVPWM 기법을 적용한 3상 AC/DC Boost 컨버터를 제안한다. 그리고 보조전원으로 쓰이는 기존의 배터리 대신에 친환경 대체에너지원인 연료전지를 무정전전원장치에 적용하여 급격한 부하 변동 시 에너지를 보상하고 기준전압에 맞는 안정된 출력을 갖도록 하였다.

Recently the problem of energy branch become worse increasingly. Therefore many researches about new energy source are processing in several places around are processing in several places around the world. Especially solar energy has many advantages like as purity and infinity. Photovoltaic(PV) system can be classified into two types : One is stand alone type and the other is utility interactive one. Utility interactive type PV system need some technology that Maximum peak power tracking(MPPT) and Anti-islanding and Active Power filter(APF). For APF operation dc-link voltage should be high to supply sufficient output current which needed for harmonic current compensation so usually DC-DC converter is used for boost. In this paper DC-DC converter for PV system and controller for dc-link voltage control are analyzed and designed.

A new zero voltage switching PWN converter family is presented by using a new ZVS PWN module (ZPM) with a saturable inductor which prevents diode junction capacitors and a commutation inductor from resonating. The new converters show almost all characteristics of the conventional PWN converters. A boost ZVS PWN converter is applied to a power factor correction circuit. It operates on an continuous conduction mode. Experimental results for output power of 1kW are presented.

A new SEPIC-Flyback converter is proposed. The proposed converter is the integration of SEPIC and Flyback converter. Not only SEPIC output but also Flyback output could be fully regulated by constant frequency PWM control. Merged SEPIC and Flyback topology can share the transformer and power MOSFET. When the switch turns on, one topology operates via capacitive energy transfer. The other topology acts as inductive energy transfer while the switch is off. So, it can increase power density per one cycle. The experimental result is presented and verified.

The amount of electric energy used in a vehicle will be increased continuously. The increment of electric power demand causes interest on new higher power system such as 42V Power Net. Furthermore, the necessity for development of energy storage device is highlighted recently. Bidirectional nm Converter is one of the important parts in 42V power system. Therefore, this paper proposes bidirectional Cascade Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter which can satisfies required specifications in 42V power system The operation principle is described along with simple control method, and experimental results on a 500W prototype are provided.

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.

In this paper the partial switching PFC converter which is based on predictive control is proposed. In terms of satisfying the harmonic standard, the predictive control shows a similar performance to the conventional average current mode control PFC in the normal input condition. Moreover, the current harmonic characteristic is insensitive to the distorted input voltage. With predictive control method, novel on-line partial switching strategy is suggested in this paper. Depending on the operating condition, the partial switching PFC converter can boost its output voltage. Also when its efficiency needs to be improved, according to load condition, the partial switching can be achieved. The proposed strategy is proved by the results of FFT and the loss analysis using PSIM 9.0.

The paper presents a non-isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter for use in renewable power generation, battery, electric vehicles (EV) and small scale DC-UPS systems. In the propose design, the conventional interleaved operation of two-inductor boost structure is modified to accommodate bidirectional operation, and zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) is applied, where both the switch and the rectifier diode achieve soft condition without increasing their voltage and current stresses. The proposed converter has the merits of simple circuitry, reduced size, low cost and high efficiency. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and verified. Also, simulation results of the proposed bidirectional dc-dc converter is shown.
