This paper describes a design method for the buck type switching regulator to improve transient and steady state performances. Necessary design considerations on the power stage are given before designing the controller to obtain better trandient responses with less control effort and a feedforward compensation is also given to effectively improve the steady state performance. In the design of the controller, a PIM (proportional-integral-measurable) control method with optimized constant feedback gains is presented to get better tansient and steady state performances without complicating the implementation of controller. Computer simulations and experimental results are given to show the usefulness of the presented technique.

The terminal voltage of a synchronous generator is maintained by the field current control of excitation system. Generally AC/DC converter which is component of AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator) system for excitation current control is connected to diode rectifier and DC/DC converter system. In the case of diode rectifier system of phase controlled converter as AC/DC converter have low power factor and harmonics of lower order in the line current. In this paper, two stage three phase PWM AC/DC converter is studied to solve these problems. The characteristics of a proposed converter reduces the harmonics and reactive power of the distribution line and has fast dynamic response in transient period using boost converter and current control mode buck converts. The proposed method is verified by the computer simulation and experimental results in prototype generation system.

A large signal stability analysis of the solar array regulator system is performed to facilitate the design and analysis of a Low-Earth-Orbit satellite power system. The effective load characteristics of every controllable method in the solar array system are classified to analyze the large signal stability. Then, using the state plane analysis technique, the stability of various equilibrium points is analyzed. A nonlinear transformation algorithm, which changes the effective load characteristic of the solar array regulator as constant resistive load, is also proposed for the large signal stability. The proposed resistive current mode control system can control the solar array output for purposes such as peak power tracking control and battery charging control. For the verification of the proposed large signal analysis and resistive current mode control, a solar array regulator system consisting of two 100W parallel module buck converters has been built and tested using a real 200W solar array.

DC/DC switching power converters are commonly used to generate a regulated DC output voltages with high efficiencies from different DC input sources. The voltage mode DC/DC converter utilizes MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor), inductor, and a PWM (pulse-width modulation) controller with oscillator, amplifier, and comparator, etc. to efficiently transfer energy from the input to the output at periodic intervals. The fundamental boost converter and a buck converter containing a switched-mode power supply are studied. In this paper, the electrical characteristics of DC/DC power converters are simulated by program of SPICE, and the PWM controller is implemented to check the operation. In addition, power efficiency is analyzed based on the specification of each component.

This paper describes a low voltage, low-power CMOS buck DC/DC converter, which has a simple common-gate current sensing circuit. It consumes low power because it includes less transistors than other converters which use operational amplifiers for current sensing. The designed DC-DC converter is fabricated in a 0.18um CMOS technology. A maximum efficiency of 88% has been obtained with the proposed circuit. It has $2V{\sim}3.7V$ input voltage range, $1V{\sim}2.5V$ output voltage range and maximum output current of 1000mA.

All parasitics such as switch conduction voltages, conduction resistances, switching times and ESR''s of capacitors are counted in the new state-space modeling based on non-ideal switching functions. An equivalent simplified model is derived from the complex circuit with parasitics. Hence the results are very simple and exact, which are very important features of modelings. The pole frequency, dc voltage gain, and efficiency of the general converter, the buck-boost converter are analyzed and verified by the experiments with good agreements with the theories. This may be a good summary for the previous works concerned with parasitics.

For DC-AC power conversion from a high-voltage photovoltaic panel to a single-phase grid, the two-stage transformerless inverter with a buck-boost converter followed by a full-bridge inverter is widely used. To avoid an excessive leakage current due to the large parasitic capacitance of the photovoltaic panel, the full-bridge inverter can only adopt the bipolar PWM which results in much higher power loss compared to the unipolar PWM. In order to overcome such a poor efficiency, this paper proposes a new topology in which an IGBT and a diode for circuit isolation are added to the buck-boost converter. The proposed circuit isolation method allows the unipolar PWM in the full-bridge inverter without any increase in the leakage current so that the overall efficiency can be improved. The validity of the proposed solution is verified by computer simulation and power loss calculation.
