In this paper, a hybrid booster power module with Si IGBT and Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky Barrier Diode (SBDs) is presented. The switching characteristics of the hybrid booster module are compared with commercial Silicon IGBT/Si PIN diode based modules. We applied the booster power module into a non-isolated on board vehicle charger with a simple buck-booster topology. The performances of the on-vehicle charger are analyzed and measured with different power modules. The test data is measured in the same system, at the same points of operation, using the conventional Si and hybrid Si/SiC power modules. The measured power conversion efficiency of the proposed on-vehicle charger is 96.4 % with the SiC SBD based hybrid booster module. The conversion efficiency gain of 1.4 % is realizable by replacing the Si-based booster module with the Si IGBT/SiC SBD hybrid boost module in the 6.6 kW on-vehicle chargers.

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.

본 논문에서는 buck-boost 형태에 기초한 전류원형 PWM 인버터를 제안하고, 이를 태양광과 계통 연계를 위한 인터페이스 회로로서의 타당성을 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 제안하는 회로는 다섯 개의 스위칭 소자를 가지게 되는데, 이 중 단 하나의 스위치만이 쵸핑동작을 수행하게 되고, 나머지 스위치들은 출력단의 정, 부 방향을 결정짓는데 이용된다. 그러므로 스위칭에 의한 손실을 상당히 저감시킬 수 있다. 또한 입력단의 인덕터 전류를 전류 불연속 모드로 동작 시켜 별도의 입력 전류의 검출이 없이도 출력단을 단위 역률화 할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 제안하는 계통 연계형 인버터에 대한 동작을 이론적으로 자세히 분석하고 150[W]급 시작품의 실험 결과로 이의 타당성을 검증하였다.

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.

This paper describes Transformer-less type utility interactive system that is combined with buck/boost chopper applying partial resonant method, which remove Transformer, 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 can transmit arbitrary power arbitrary power to load and utility regardless of generating voltage magnitude of solar cell and we can always obtain high factor controlling by equal phase signal with utility.

Recently, in energy storage system, the EDLC is paid attention as a new environmentally friendly energy storage element. This capacitor has higher energy density than the electrolytic capacitor. Also, this capacitor has a lot of advantage such as no maintenance, longer life cycle and faster charge-discharge time than the battery system. But the EDLC must have a each charge-discharge controller to effectively control, an energy design method circuit to use effectively energy, and several compensation techniques to control a optimal operating. In this respect, this study suggests major parameters to effectively represent the characteristics of EDLC, the measurement methods of those parameters have been investigated with experiments, and the interpretation about the buck/boost DC/DC converter for the operation of EDLC.

This Paper presents a 6 pulse shift operation control mode of current-source-inverter to make improvement of efficiency and to reduce the frequency of inverter switching for photovoltaic generation system using PWM current-source-inverter. This system is connected solar cell energy directly without using a storage cell. The proposed circuit can maintain maximum voltage of photovoltaic generation of take advantage of six Buck-Boost converter and a full-bridge inverter determines the polarity of AC output. That is controlled by using digital signal processor TMS320F2812 for operation about a 6 pulse shift operation control of current-source-inverter, and it is verified through the experimental results.

Bidirectional DC/DC converters allows transfer of power between two dc sources, in either direction. Due to their ability to reverse the direction of flow of power, they are being increasingly used in many applications such as battery charger/dischargers, dc 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 swicthing 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 transformerless version and transformer one.
