최근 각광받고 있는 반도체 발광 소자를 이용한 고체 상태 광원(Solid State Lighting)은 기존 광원에 비해 고효율이어서 에너지 절약적 측면에서 대두되고 있다. 점광원인 LED에 비해 면광원인 OLED는 두께를 얇게 구현할 수 있고, 다양한 모양으로 광원의 구현이 가능하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 효율적인 OLED 조명 구동을 위해 넓은 입력전압 범위를 지니는 Buck-Boost 컨버터를 제안한다.

본 논문은 철도 차량용 보조전원 장치의 부피 저감을 위하여 펄스 폭 제어가 포함된 공진형 LLC 컨버터를 제안한다. 철도 차량용 보조전원 장치는 가선에 연결되어 객차의 각종 전원을 공급하는 장치로써 객실 내의 전원과 절연이 필수적이다. 따라서 고효율의 절연형 DC/DC 컨버터인 LLC 컨버터가 적용되어 있으나, 가선의 큰 입력전압 변동에 대응하기 위해 스위칭 주파수의 변조 폭이 넓어질 뿐 아니라 제어 난도가 증가하는 단점을 가진다. 이러한 LLC 컨버터의 단점을 보완하기 위해 Boost+LLC 또는 Buck+LLC 컨버터의 두 단계의 전력변환을 통해 Boost 또는 Buck 컨버터가 LLC 컨버터의 입력전압을 제어하며, LLC 컨버터는 항상 공진 주파수에서 동작하도록 제어하는 시스템이 주로 사용된다. 본 논문은 3레벨 LLC 컨버터에 펄스 폭 변조를 적용하여 입력전압 제어를 달성하며, 이를 통해 기존의 시스템보다 부피 저감을 달성하는 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 전력변환 모의해석 프로그램인 PSIM 및 Matlab을 통해 검증되었다.

This paper investigated the effect of the zero on the right-half-plane on stability in the buck-boost DC-DC converter which is one type of the switching regulator, and the stability region in connection with the output current was shown by evaluating the feed-back gain. From the result it is shown that the stability decreases by the existence of the zero on the right-half-plane. We carried out a compensation by a pole in the feedback circuit and obtained the available stability region in relation to the gain band-width product. These results proved to be the validity by experiment.

In this paper, a digital current mode control is designed for the power converter applications. The designed digital current mode controller is derived analytically from the continuous time small signal model of the power converters. Due to the small signal model based derivations of the control law, the designed control method can be applicable to boost, buck, and buck-boost converters. It is also proven that the controlled power converter employing the designed digital current mode controller is always stable regardless of an operating conditions. In order to show the usefulness of a designed controller, experiments are carried out using a 16bit DSP micro-processor, TMS320LF2406A.

Energy harvesting is an emerging technique that extracts energy from surrounding environments to power low-power devices. For example, it can potentially provide sustainable energy for wireless sensing networks (WSNs) or structural control systems in civil engineering applications. This paper presents a comprehensive study on harvesting energy from earthquake-induced structural vibrations, which is typically of low frequency, to power WSNs. A macroscale pendulum-type electromagnetic harvester (MPEH) is proposed, analyzed and experimentally validated. The presented predictive model describes output power dependence with mass, efficiency and the power spectral density of base acceleration, providing a simple tool to estimate harvested energy. A series of shaking table tests in which a single-storey steel frame model equipped with a MPEH has been carried out under earthquake excitations. Three types of energy harvesting circuits, namely, a resistor circuit, a standard energy harvesting circuit (SEHC) and a voltage-mode controlled buck-boost converter were used for comparative study. In ideal cases, i.e., resistor circuit cases, the maximum electric energy of 8.72 J was harvested with the efficiency of 35.3%. In practical cases, the maximum electric energy of 4.67 J was extracted via the buck-boost converter under the same conditions. The predictive model on output power and harvested energy has been validated by the test data.

This paper investigated the effect of right half plane zero on the transient response in the buck-boost DC-DC converter. And it is clarified that the damping ratio decreases gradually by increases of the feedback loop gain and the regulation system of the converter becomes unstable. From the result, we obtained the stability region about the duty ratio and the output current by evaluating the feedback loop gain.

This paper addresses several issues concerning the analysis, design, modeling, simulation and development of single-phase, single-switch, power factor corrected AC-DC high frequency switching converter topologies with transformer isolation. A detailed analysis and design is presented for single-switch topologies, namely forward buck, flyback, Cuk, Sepic and Zeta buck-boost converters, with high frequency isolation for discontinuous conduction modes (DCM) of operation. With an awareness of modem design trends towards improved performance, these switching converters are designed for low power rating and low output voltage, typically 20.25W with 13.5V in DCM operation. Laboratory prototypes of the proposed single-switch converters in DCM operation are developed and test results are presented to validate the proposed design and developed model of the system.

This paper proposes a new converter for switched reluctance motors using a Boost converter in conjunction with a Buck converter. The proposed converter has a unity power factor(hereafter referred to an UPF) in the ac input regardless of the load variations. Moreover, compared to the conventional converter topologies, the total system efficiency is improved by introducing choppingless voltage control methods in the machine side converter and an energy recovery snubber in the pre-voltage regulation stage, respectively.

This paper presents a multi output converter system that controls, simultaneously and independently, the separate Buck converter and Boost converter with the different specification by one DSP digital controller. As two separate converters are regulated by only one DSP, it is possible to achieve the simple digital control circuit for regulating multi output DC-DC converter. By setting the software switch state, PI and Fuzzy controller can be applied as a controller for each converter without any change of hardware. Also, it is included the control characteristics comparison between PI and Fuzzy controller. The control characteristics of each PWM DC-DC converter is validated by experimental results.
