최근 LED 기술의 발달로 LED의 이용범위가 점차 넓어지고 있다. 이러한 LED를 구동하기 위한 시스템의 저비용 고효율을 위해서는 입력전압에 대한 출력전압의 승강압이 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 승강압이 가능한 DC-DC 컨버터인 Buck-Boost, ZETA, SEPIC 토폴로지를 적용하여 LED Lamp 구동 시스템을 구성해 본다. 위 세 가지의 컨버터는 입력전압에 대하여 출력전압의 승강압이 가능하고 입출력 전압특성이 동일하다. 그러므로 각각의 컨버터들을 이용하여 LED driving 회로를 구성하고, Pspice 시뮬레이션을 통해 나타나는 입출력 효율을 측정하여 승강압용 DC-DC 컨버터의 특성을 비교한다.

본 논문에서는 태양광 모듈의 최대 전력점을 추종하기 위한 제어 기법으로 부스트 컨버터(boost converter)의 불연속 전류모드(Discontinuous Current Mode)에서 주파수를 제어하는 기법을 구현 하였다. 태양광 모듈에 연결된 부스트 컨버터는 전압루프를 통하여 Perturb and Observation(P&O)기법을 사용하여 최대 전력점을 추종하였다. 부스트 컨버터의 인덕터에 흐르는 전류는 불연속 전류모드로 제어 된다. 불연속 전류모드에서의 제어기 설계는 MATLAB과 PSIM의 전달함수특성을 수학적 모델링을 통하여 비교 검증 하였으며, 모든제어는 MCU(TEXAS INSTRUMENTS사의 DSPF28335)를 통해 디지털로 제어 하였다. 제안된 기법은 단일 PV모듈이 연결된 불연속전류모드 부스트 컨버터를 통해 동작특성을 분석하였다.

This paper is studied on boost AC-DC converter of high power factor and high efficiency for discontinuous current control. The converter operated in discontinuous current control eliminates the complicated circuit control requirement, and reduces a number of components. The input current waveform in proposed circuit is got to be a discontinuous sinusoidal form in proportion to magnitude of ac input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching. Therefore, the input power factor is nearly unity and the control circuit is simple. Also the switching devices in a proposed circuit are operated with soft switching by the partial resonant method. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of system is high. The partial resonant circuit makes use of a inductor using step up and loss-less snubber capacitor. The circuit topology of the converter is simplified. Some simulative results on computer and experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.

Diode rectifier which can't be controlled output voltage and phase control converter as AC/DC converter have low power factor and harmonics of lower order in the line current. In this paper, three phase PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) AC/DC boost converter is studied to solve these problems. The characteristics of a proposed converter are to control the phase of current without current sensor as a very simple control algorithm using circuit parameters only and to apply sinusoidal PWM method with fixed switching frequency due to a difficult design of input filter and switching device. We simulate for the proposed algorithm that high power factor is achieved and DC link voltage has fast dynamic response without ripple in rectifying and regenerating operation. As a result of experiment with circuit parameter(inductor, capacitor) decided in simulation, the proposed converter had high power factor and reduction of low order harmonics as against diode rectifier.

For boost PFC (Power Factor Correction) converters, various control methods are being studied to achieve unity power factor and low THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of AC input current. Among them, average current mode control, which controls the average value of the inductor current to follow the current reference, is the most widely used. However, nowadays, as advanced digital control becomes possible with the development of digital processors, predictive control of boost PFC converters is receiving attention. Predictive control is classified into predictive current mode control, which generates duty in advance using a predictive algorithm, and model predictive current control, which performs switching operations by selecting a cost function based on a model. Therefore, this paper simply explains the average current mode control, predictive current mode control, and model predictive current control of the boost PFC converter. In addition, current control under entire load and disturbance conditions is compared and analyzed through simulation.

This paper proposes a new technique for improving the efficiency of single phase high frequency switch mode boost converter. This converter includes an additional boost converter that follows the main hish frequency switching device. The additional converter, which is controlled at lower frequencies, bypasses almost all the current in the main switch and the high frequency switching loss is greatly reduced. Both switching devices are controlled by a simple method; each controller consists of a one-shot multivibrator, a comparator and an AND gate, and the maximum switching frequency can be limited without any clock generator. The converter works cooperatively in high efficiency and acts as though it were a conventional high frequency switch mode converter with one switching device. This paper describes the proposed converter configuration, design, and discusses the steady state performance concerning the switching loss reduction and efficiency improvement. and the proposed method is verified by computer simulation.

In this paper, a buck-boost converter using three DTMOS(Dynamic Threshold Voltage MOSFET) switching devices is presented. The efficiency of the proposed converter is higher than that of conventional buck-boost converter. DTMOS with low on-resistance is designed to decrease conduction loss. The threshold voltage of DTMOS drops as the gate voltage increases, resulting in a much higher current handling capability than standard MOSFET. In order to improve the power efficiency at the high current level, the proposed converter is controlled with PWM(pulse width modulation) method. The converter has maximum output current 300mA, input voltage 3.3V, output voltage from 700mV to 12V, 1.2MHz oscillation frequency, and maximum efficiency 90%. Moreover, the LDO(low drop-out) is designed to increase the converting efficiency at the standby mode below 1mA.

This paper proposes a new AC/DC RPPB(Resonant Piezo-Powered Boost) converter for energy harvesting using a piezoelectric device which converts mechanical vibration energy to electrical energy. The AC/DC RPPB converter can operate with only the harvested energy without an additional power conversion circuit for switching circuit and transfer energy to a load of which the voltage is higher than piezoelectric voltage. With the review of published topologies of the converter for energy harvesting, the operation principle of the AC/DC RPPB converter, and the results of PSPICE simulation and experiment are presented to prove the feasibility of the new converter for the energy harvesting.
