This paper presents a novel single-stage active-clamp type high frequency resonant inverter. The proposed topology is integrated full-bridge boost rectifier as power factor corrector and active-clamp type high frequency resonant inverter into a single-stage. The input stage of the full-bridge boost rectifier works in discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) with constant duty cycle and variable switching frequency. So that a boost converter makes the line current follow naturally the sinusoidal line voltage waveform. By adding additional active-clamp circuit to conventional class-E high frequency resonant inverter, main switch of inverter part operates not only at Zero-Voltage-Switching mode but also reduces the switching voltage stress of main switch. Simulation results have demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed high frequency resonant inverter. Characteristics values based on characteristics estimation through circuit analysis is given as basis data in design procedure. Also, experimental results are presented to verify theoretical discussion. This proposed inverter will be able to be practically used as a power supply in the fields of induction heating applications, fluorescent lamp and DC-DC converter etc.

This paper presents a single-phase transformerless photovoltaic (PV) power converter systems based on the AC/DC boost inverter, which is capable of solving the leakage current and second-order ripple power issues. By eliminating the inherent ripple power in single-phase inverter, the bulky electrolytic capacitor can be replaced by a small film capacitor. The validity of the proposed scheme has been verified by the simulation results.

연료전지는 다른 대체에너지원에 비해 효율이 높고 소음이 거의 없으며 친환경적이라는 장점으로 인해 각광받고 있다. 연료전지는 수소와 산소의 전기화학반응으로 물이 생성되는데, 이때 전기와 열이 발생한다. 또한, 저전압 대전류의 특성을 가지며 부하에 따른 출력전압의 변동이 크므로 전압을 조정해야 한다. 따라서 저전압을 승압하기 위한 DC/DC Boost(이하 부스트)컨버터가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 연료전지를 이용한 배터리 충전 시스템을 구성하고, 그 기능을 MATLAB/SIMULINK의 모델과 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인한다.

Solar energy has proven to be a potential clean energy source to help offset the large consumption of fossil. Nowadays, many research projects aim to enhance photovoltaic (PV) system performance and functionality. This research focuses on integrating self-monitor capability into dc-dc converters that control PV panels to detect a fault in series-connected PV cells, called hot spotting. A detection method using ac parameter characterization is proposed and its operation is examined through simulation.

In photovoltaic system, the specifications of solar array is changed as open circuit voltage and short circuit current because of cell temperature and solar radiation. A boost converter of this system connects between output of photovoltaic system and DC link capacitor of grid connected inverter as controlling duty ratio. Therefore to supply stable voltage to the grid, a boost converter is need to keep certain voltage output. Considering the capacitance and the resistance of boost converter, this paper designed proper digital controller.

In this study, a novel single phase soft switched power factor correction (PFC) converter is developed with active snubber cell. The active snubber cell provides boost switch both to turn on with zero voltage transition (ZVT) and to turn off with zero current transition (ZCT). As the switching losses in the proposed converter are too low, L and C size can be reduced by increasing the operating frequency. Also, all the semiconductor devices operate with soft switching. There is no additional voltage stress in the boost switch and diode. The proposed converter has a simple structure, low cost and ease of control as well. It has a simple control loop to achieve near unity power factor with the aid of the UC3854. In this study, detailed steady state analysis of the proposed converter is presented and this theoretical analysis is verified by a prototype of 100 kHz and 500 W converter. The measured power factor and efficiency are 0.99 and 97.9% at full load.
