Drivers for LED MR16 retrofit lamps need to be compatible with the dimmers and electronic transformers which originally operated with the halogen lamps to be replaced. We present a two-stage MR16 LED driver consisting of a boost converter in the first stage and a buck converter in the second stage. Our design has been analyzed in the frequency domain using simulations to demonstrate that it effectively suppresses the high-frequency components of the AC output of the electronic transformer. Experiment results with a driver prototype verify the simulation results as well as dimmability.

This paper describes a design of multiple-mode single-output DC/DC converter which can be used in both up and down conversion. Proposed up/down converter does not produce a negative voltage which is generated in conventional buck-boost type converter. Three types of operation mode(up/down/bypass) are controlled by the input voltage sense and command signals of target output voltage. PFM(pulse frequency modulation) control is adopted and modified for fast tracking and for precise output voltage level with an aid of output voltage sense. Designed DC/DC converter has the performance of less than 5 % ripple and higher than 80 % efficiency. Chip area is 3.50 mm ${\times}$ 2.05 mm with standard 0.35 $\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology.

Bidirectional DC-DC converters allow transfer of power between two dc sources, in either direction. Due to their ability to reverse the direction of flow of power, Dey are being increasingly used in many applications such as battery charge/dischargers, do uninterruptible power supplies, electrical vehicle motor drives, aerospace power systems, telecom power supplies, etc. This Paper Proposes a new bidirectional Sepic/Zeta converter. It has low switching loss and low conduction loss due to auxiliary communicated circuit and synchronous rectifier operation, respectively Because of positive and buck/boost-like DC voltage transfer function(M=D/1-D), the proposed converter is very desirable for use in distributed power system. The proposed converter also has both transformer-less version and transformer one.

As well known, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is an important role in photovoltaic (PV) power systems. MPPT finds and maintains the operation of PV at the maximum power point when the irradiation and cell-temperature change. In this paper, the studied system includes a PV array, a Buck-Boost DC/DC converter, a DC/AC inverter and it is connected to the three phase power system. The solar array operates as a non-linear voltage source. The P&O algorithm with power feed-back is used to control the operating point of PV array at the maximum power point. The effects of irradiation and cell-temperature on the dynamic responses are also considered.

본 논문에서는 Matlab Simulink을 사용하여 고성능 BLDC(Brushless DC) 전동기 드라이브를 위한 DC Link 가변 전압 인버터 모델링을 제안한다. 다른 프로그램을 이용한 BLDC 전동기 시뮬레이션은 하드웨어적인 구현에는 유리하지만 처리속도가 늦고, 계산상의 오차가 크게 발생하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 수식기반인 Matlab Simulink를 활용하여 보다 정확하고 연산 속도가 빠른 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 제안된 모델은 승압 및 강압모드가 가능한 2-스위치 buck-boost 컨버터와 6-스위치 인버터 및 BLDC 전동기로 구성되고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 전동기의 속도에 따른 DC Link 전압의 가변을 확인하였다.

This paper describes Trans-less type utility interactive system that is combined with buck/boost chopper applying partial resonant method, which remove Trans, and high efficient PWM inverter. Therefore, it is possible to make it lightweight, to cut down the cost, and to improve its reliability. What the merits of this system are that we con transmit arbitrary power to load and utility regardless of generating voltage magnitude and we can always obtain high factor controlling by equal phase signal with utility.

This paper presents a newly developed transformer-less single phase inverter for a photovoltaic (PV) power system. In the proposed system, there is no earth-leakage current at all in the theoretical base, and the main circuit of this system is rather simple and it is expected the higher efficiency will be realized. The system is operated by a digital signal processor (DSP) which makes it more flexible in the control. From the experimental results, it is found that this new inverter supplies the AC power to utility grid line with the power factor of nearly unity.

본 논문에서는 하나의 인덕터만을 사용하여 동작하는 벅부스트 방식의 새로운 배터리 이퀄라이저를 제안하고, 그 동작을 살펴본다. 제안된 배터리 이퀄라이저는 배터리 전압을 센싱할 필요 없이, 벅부스트의 DCM(전류 불연속) 모드를 이용하여 배터리 간의 에너지를 순차적으로 순환시키고 이 과정을 반복하여 배터리 간의 전압을 균등화한다. 즉, 제안된 회로는 전압 센싱을 필요로 하지 않으므로 제어 회로를 단순화 시킬 수 있고, 인덕터를 하나만 사용함으로써 회로 자체의 크기와 가격을 줄일 수 있는 장점을 가진다.

In this paper, the bi-directional soft switching DC-DC converter using ZCT(Zero Current Transition) method is proposed for using battery application system. This topology is composed of soft switching bi-directional buck/boost converter having the ZCT auxiliary circuit with two switches, two resonant capacitors, one resonant inductor. Therefore, the proposed topology can reduce switching loss. To verify the validity of the proposed topology, theoretical analysis and simulation results are presented.

This paper presents a design of a 30kW 250V/530V bidirectional DC-DC converter to be used in an electrical car. A detailed explanation of the design is given. The system uses two phase shifted half bridge (boost and buck) topologies to reduce the ripple current in the output capacitor. The converter has an efficiency of 95% at nominal power. It works as a constant voltage in one direction and as a constant current in the other to charge the batteries. Simulations and measurement are done at high power to test the efficiency.
