This paper presents a highly efficient power management system for UAV-drones. For free from the battery cell-balancing issue, the proposed system allows the drone to utilize a single-cell Li-Po battery. To realize low-voltage input of 3.7V, the switch-mode step-up DC-DC converter is optimally designed with high power efficiency. The prototype DC-DC converter was implemented with an output voltage of 5V, which will be provided to digital parts of the drone. The power efficiency was measured to be max. 91.3% with low surface temperature. The measured line and load regulations were 0.02V/V and 0.15V/A, respectively. Thanks to the proposed power management system, the available time-to-fly of the drone is expected to be significantly extended in virtue of the enhanced power efficiency.

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.

This paper proposes a novel single-phase ac-ac converter topology based on the Z-source concept. The converter provides buck-boost function and plays the role of frequency changer. Compared to the traditional ac-dc-ac converter, it uses fewer devices, realizes direct ac-ac power conversion, and has a simpler circuit structure, so as to have higher efficiency and better circuit characteristics. Compared to the traditional matrix converter, it provides a wider voltage regulation range. The circuit topology, operating principle, control method and simulation results are given in this paper, and the rationality and feasibility is verified.

In this paper, recently, it is described to the piezoelectric transformer technology develops, because it was have to favorable characteristics such as electromagnetic-noise free, compact size, higher efficiency, and superior power density, flux linkage, noiseless, etc. its resonance frequency was used to output waveform of a sine wave. A rotor speed identification method of induction motor based on the theory of flux model reference adaptive system(FMRAS). The estimator execute the rotor speed identification so that the vector control of the induction motor may be achieved. The improved auxiliary variable of the model are introduced to perform accurate rotor speed estimation. The control system is composed of the PI controller for speed control and the current controller using space voltage vector PWM techniuqe and DC-DC converter. High speed calculation and processing for vector control is carried out by digital signal one chip microprocessor. Validity of the proposed control method is verified through simulation and experimental results.

As demands for green industry increase, this paper proposes a power control technique that can substitute pre -existing CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) and optimize power consumption of LED BLU. This technique is designing LED driver circuit that make a DC-DC output voltage(VLED) to have a linear control function for a supply voltage of LED string. The proposed LED driver have an advantage that can increase or decrease a DC-DC output voltage compared with conventional LED driver. The designed LED driver circuit was designed using 0.35um CMOS technology. And its operation was verified through simulation.

연료전지는 차세대 대체 에너지원으로 부각되고 있다. 그러나 연료전지시스템 특성상 전류의 정격이 큼으로 전류의 리플성분을 감소시킬 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 부스트 컨버터 회로에서 인덕터에 흐르는 전류의 리플성분을 줄이기 위한 방법으로 3-channel 감${\cdot}$가극성 커플링 인덕터를 사용한 부스트 컨버터를 제안하였고 이를 일반적인 인덕터, 2-channel 감${\cdot}$가극성 커플링 인덕터를 사용한 컨버터 시스템과 비교 분석하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 시스템의 적합성을 검증하였다. 커플링 인덕터를 사용함으로써 전류 리플 성분이 감소될 뿐 아니라 시스템 효율, 무게, 가격 면에서의 효과도 기대 된다.

This paper proposes a new pair of Active Snubber Cells (ASCs) which can fully provide soft switching for a Floating-output Double Boost Converter (FDBC). Besides that, the introduced ASCs are applicable for all basic DC-DC converters. Main switches of the FDBC turn on and off with ZVS. However, the main diodes are ZCS turned off. Furthermore Snubber switches are turned on and off with ZCS and ZVS respectively. It worthy to mention also that the soft switching for snubber diodes of the presented cells is achieved. A 1.5kW, 100kHz prototype of the FDBC with the proposed ASCs was built and evaluated; and the maximum attained efficiency is 97.3%.

In this paper, a novel Zero-Current-Transition (ZCT) technique, which provides Zero-Current-Switching (ZCS) turn-off of the main switch, the main diode and the auxiliary switch, is presented. The proposed auxiliary circuit consists of minimum elements only one auxiliary switch, resonant inductor and resonant capacitor. Also the reduced di/dt, which is obtained by resonant inductor, helps soft turn-on of the main switch. Besides, to eliminate the additional conduction loss and current stress on main switch, a topological variation was performed. The theoretical analysis and the operation principle of the new ZCT techniques are described in detail with a boost converter as an example. To verify the validity of the proposed ZCT techniques, the simulation and the experiment were performed under 1kW output power and 100kHz switching frequency.
