일반적으로 스텝 업(Step-up) 컨버터는 Boost 컨버터, Buck-Boost 컨버터, Flyback 컨버터, Push-Pull 컨버터 등 다양하며 이 중에서 Boost 컨버터는 매우 간단한 형태로 가장 널리 사용되는 스텝 업(Step-up) 컨버터이다. 하지만, Boost 컨버터는 DCM 동작, 큰 리플 문제 및 RHPZ 문제 등을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 새로운 Topology를 적용한 컨버터들이 제시되었는데 그 중 KY 컨버터는 Boost 컨버터의 DCM 동작, 큰 리플 문제 및 RHPZ 문제 등을 개선하였다. 그러나 기존의 KY 컨버터는 Boost 컨버터보다 전압 이득이 상대적으로 낮은 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 KY 컨버터의 장점이 있으면서 낮은 전압 이득 문제를 해결한 새로운 Topology의 KY 컨버터를 제안하였다.

The main issue of parallel three-phase boost converters is reduction of the low- and high frequency circulating currents. Most present technologies concentrate on low frequency circulating current because the circulating current controller cannot mitigate the high frequency circulating current. In this paper, analytical approach of three-phase coupled inductor applied to parallel system becomes an important objective to effectively reduce the low- and high frequency circulating currents. The characteristics of three-phase coupled inductor based on a structure and voltage equations are mathematically derived. The modified voltage equations are then applied to parallel three-phase boost converters to develop averaged models in stationary coordinates and rotating coordinates. Based on the averaged modeling approach, design of the circulating current controller is presented. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the analysis and modeling for the parallel three-phase boost converters using three-phase coupled inductor.

A new auxiliary circuit for boost, buck, buck-boost, Cuk, SEPIC, and zeta converters is introduced to provide soft switching for pulse-width modulation converters. In the aforementioned family of DC-DC converters, the main and auxiliary switches turn on under zero current transition (ZCT) and turn off with zero voltage and current transition (ZVZCT). All diodes commutate under soft switching conditions. On the basis of the proposed converter family, the boost topology is analyzed, and its operating modes are presented. The validity of the theoretical analysis is justified by the experimental results of a 100W, 100 kHz prototype. The conducted electromagnetic emissions of the proposed boost converter are measured and found to be lower than those of another ZCT boost converter.

This paper describes a comparative analysis of soft switching boost converters through design, production and experiment. Soft switching boost converters are designed to satisfy the condition of input voltage 170-265Vac, output voltage 400Vdc, output current 5A, output power 20W-2000W and unit power factor. In addition, parameter values are designed so that system operation can be compared under this is similar conditions. The efficiency of the combined inductor soft switching boost converter was 97.63% with 1011 load better than that of other boost converter types. The combined inductor soft switching converter has simple circuit construction and low switching loss. EMI resulted by the switching noise, and harmonic distortion.

In this study, single-phase and three-level boost converters applied to the photovoltaic system were compared and analyzed in terms of efficiency and power density according to the input voltage and load conditions. For accurate analysis of efficiency, the losses in each device of the single-phase and three-level boost converters were derived using mathematical equations and simulations by using the PSIM thermal module. Then, the losses were compared with the efficiency confirmed through the actual experiments. Results confirmed that the efficiency and power density can be improved by applying the three-level boost converter to the system according to the selection of the switching frequency.

As the core component of transmission systems, converters are very prone to failure. To improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis for wind power converters, a fault feature extraction method combined with a wavelet transform and compressed sensing theory is proposed. In addition, an improved AdaBoost-SVM is used to diagnose wind power converters. The three-phase output current signal is selected as the research object and is processed by the wavelet transform to reduce the signal noise. The wavelet approximation coefficients are dimensionality reduced to obtain measurement signals based on the theory of compressive sensing. A sparse vector is obtained by the orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm, and then the fault feature vector is extracted. The fault feature vectors are input to the improved AdaBoost-SVM classifier to realize fault diagnosis. Simulation results show that this method can effectively realize the fault diagnosis of the power transistors in converters and improve the precision of fault diagnosis.

To achieve high efficiency and reliability, multiphase interleaved converters with coupled inductors have been widely applied. In this paper, a coupled inductor design method for 2-phase interleaved boost converters is presented. A new area product equation is derived to select the proper core size. The wire size, number of turns and air gap length are also determined by using the proposed coupled inductor design method. Finally, the validity of the proposed coupled inductor design method is confirmed by simulation and experimental results obtained from a design example.

This paper introduces a simple grid-voltage-sensorless control scheme for single-phase power factor correction (PFC) boost converters. The grid voltage waveform is obtained based on the dc output voltage, the switching duty ratio, and a phase-lead compensator. In addition, the duty ratio feedback is utilized to obtain the unity input power factor and the zero harmonic current. The proposed control scheme is designed and mathematically analyzed based on a small-signal model of PFC boost converters. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, several simulations and experiments are carried out in two applications: an industrial power system with a 60 Hz grid frequency and a commercial aircraft application with a 400 Hz grid frequency.
