Traditional boost converters have difficulty realizing high efficiency and high voltage gain conversion due to 1) extremely large duty cycles, 2) high voltage and current stresses on devices, and 3) low conversion efficiency. Therefore, a function decoupling high voltage gain DC/DC converter composed of a DC transformer (DCX) and an auxiliary converter is proposed. The role of DCX is to realize fixed gain conversion with high efficiency, whereas the role of the auxiliary converter is to regulate the output voltage. In this study, different forms of combined high voltage gain converters are compared and analyzed, and a structure is selected for the function decoupling high voltage gain converter. Then, topologies and control strategies for the DCX and auxiliary converter are discussed. On the basis of the discussion, an optimal design method for circuit parameters is proposed, and design procedures for the DCX are described in detail. Finally, a 400 W experimental prototype based on the proposed optimal design method is built to verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis. The measured maximum conversion efficiency at rated power is 95.56%.

In this parer, the development of input power factor and the harmonic distortion of line current were showed in the proposed three phase AC-DC converter. We identified that DC voltage in the output terminal has fast dynamic response and has nearly ripple. Moreover, the converter also possesses the regenerative capability which is useful for many applications. The switching frequency of this converter operated with constant in the range of 2KHZ. Finally, simulation and experiment results are presented.

This paper proposes a new single-stage, single-switch AC/DC converter based on the boost power factor correction (PFC) cell. The converter offers both high power factor and high efficiency. To reduce the dc voltage on the energy storage capacitor, the dc bus voltage feedback method was used. A 100W (5V/20A) prototype was built and tested to show the validity of the proposed converter.

본 논문에서는 하이브리드 전기자동차의 전장시스템 에너지 공급을 위한 보조배터리 충전용 저전압 직류 변환장치(Low voltage DC-to-DC Converter, LDC)를 제안한다. 차량 탑재용의 특성상 소형 경량화 설계 기술을 통한 연비증가, 동력성능의 향상이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 LDC는 부스트와 포워드 컨버터 구조를 혼합한 형태로 부스트 컨버터의 입력 인덕터를 변압기로 대체하여 포워드 컨버터와 결합시킴으로서 출력전압의 승 강압 동작을 구현한다. 따라서 차량 시동 시 내연기관을 구동하기 위한 승압모드로 동작하고, 그 외 일반적인 경우는 차량 내 각종 전장부하에 전력을 공급하기 위한 강압모드로 동작된다. 제안된 컨버터의 동작 모드에 따른 이론적 분석을 시행하고 PSIM을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 타당성을 검증한다.

In this paper, three-phase PWM AC to DC boost converter that operates with unity power factor and sinusodial input line currents is presented. The current control of this converter is based on the space vector PWM strategy with fixed switching frequency and the line currents track to reference currents within one sampling time interval. By using this control strategy low ripples in the outut current and the voltage as well as fast dynamic response are achieved with small dc link cpacitance employed.

Conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) from switch mode power supplies (SMPS) has become a major problem due to the proliferation of these devices employing dc-dc converters using standard pulse width modulation (PWM). In this paper, we proposed the sigma-delta modulation $({\sum}{\Delta}M)$ as an alternative switching technique to reduce the conducted EMI in SMPS. A comparative investigation on conducted EMI generated by PWM and ${\sum}{\Delta}M$ techniques are experimentally performed on a 300W Boost converter.

42V electrical power systems are on their way to replacing the present l4V systems in automobiles and 42V/14V dual voltage systems have been proposed to provide backward compatibility with the existing components for the 14V systems. A synchronous buck/boost converter is an attractive topology for 42V/14V dual voltage systems since it offers the possibility of bi-directional operation without additional components. In this paper, transient currents generated during converter startup or changes in operation modes between buck and boost are analyzed and a cost effective solution to remove the transient currents is proposed. The validity of the proposed control strategy is investigated through simulation and experiment with bi-directional converters.

This paper designs a nonlinear PI-type controller for the robust control of a boost DC-DC converter using a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Based on the common knowledge that the transient responses can be improved if the P and I gains increase when the transient error is big, a nonlinear PI-type control design method is developed. A design procedure to autotune the nonlinear P and I gains is given based on a PSO algorithm. The proposed nonlinear PI-type controller is implemented in real time on a Texas Instruments TMS320F28335 floating-point DSP. Simulation and experimental results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed method.
