This paper introduces the bidirectional dc-dc converter design case study, which employs silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs for battery energy storage system (BESS). This converter topology is selected as bidirectional synchronous buck converter, which is composed of a half bridge converter, an inductor, and a capacitor, where the converter has less conduction loss than that of a unidirectional buck and boost converter, and to improve the converter efficiency, both the power stage design and power conversion architecture are described in detail. The conduction and switching losses are compared among three different SiC devices in this paper. In addition, the thermal analysis using Maxwell software of each switching device supports the loss analyses, in which both the 2 kW prototype analyses and experimental results show very good agreement.

A dual-input boost-buck converter with coupled inductors (DIBBC-CI) is proposed as a thermoelectric generator (TEG) power conditioner with a wide input voltage range. The DIBBC-CI is built by cascading two boost cells and a buck cell with shared inverse coupled filter inductors. Low current ripple on both sides of the TEG and the battery are achieved. Reduced size and power losses of the filter inductors are benefited from the DC magnetic flux cancellation in the inductor core, leading to high efficiency and high power density. The operational principle, impact of coupled inductors, and design considerations for the proposed converter are analyzed in detail. Distributed maximum power point tracking, battery charging, and output control are implemented using a competitive logic to ensure seamless switching among operational modes. Both the simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed topology and control.

DC-DC 컨버터는 각종 산업용, 가정용 기기에 널리 이용되어지고 있다. 다양한 전장품을 내장한 자동차에서는 전압이 다른 전장품을 한 개의 밧데리에서 DC-DC 컨버터를 이용해서 전압을 변환해서 이용되고 있다. 그러므로 이와 같은 구성의 전원회로에는 각각의 전장품에 대응하기 위해 복수의 변환기를 필요로 하지만 회로가 복잡하고 코스트가 상승하는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 배경으로 하나의 전원을 이용한 간단한 구성의 새로운 승$\cdot$강압 초퍼 회로를 제안하여 서로 다른 복수의 출력 전압을 얻었다. 제안한 초퍼 회로는 기존의 회로에 승압용 스위치를 추가하여 구성하였으며, 이를 이용하여 부하를 분할화 시켰다 그리고 제안한 회로는 승압용 스위치와 강압용 스위치의 듀티비를 각각 별도로 조절하여 넓은 범위에서 서로 다른 2개의 출력전압을 정확히 제어하였다. 이러한 모든 사항은 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 증명하였다.

42V electrical power systems are on their way to replacing the present l4V systems in automobiles and 42V/14V dual voltage systems have been proposed to provide backward compatibility with the existing components for the 14V systems. A synchronous buck/boost converter is an attractive topology for 42V/14V dual voltage systems since it offers the possibility of bi-directional operation without additional components. In this paper, transient currents generated during converter startup or changes in operation modes between buck and boost are analyzed and a cost effective solution to remove the transient currents is proposed. The validity of the proposed control strategy is investigated through simulation and experiment with bi-directional converters.

The two-stage converter is widely used in traditional DC/AC inverter. It has several disadvantages such as complex topology, large volume and high loss. In order to overcome these shortcomings, a novel half load-cycle worked dual SEPIC single-stage inverter, which is based on the analysis of the relationship between input and output voltages of SEPIC converters operating in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), is presented in this paper. The traditional single-stage inverter has remarkable advantages in small and medium power applications, but it can’t realize boost DC/AC output directly. Besides one pre-boost DC/DC converter is needed between the DC source and the traditional single-stage inverter. A novel DC/AC inverter without pre-boost DC/DC converter, which is comprised of two SEPIC converters, is studied. The output of dual SEPIC converters is connected with anti-parallel and half load-cycle control is used to realize boost and buck DC/AC output directly and work properly, whatever the DC input voltage is higher or lower than the AC output voltage. The working principle, parameter selection and the control strategy of the inverters are analyzed in this paper. Simulation and experiment results verify the feasibility of the new inverter.

In the buck-boost DC-DC chopper which is used at a certain situation such as in factories where loads often change a lot, the switches in the device make big energy loss in operating at Buck-Boost Mode due to hard switching and are affected by lots of stresses which decrease the efficiency rate of the converter. In order to improve this problem, to decrease the loss of snubber and switching, it has been investigated that zero voltage switching mode and zero current switching mode which make the operation of switches with soft switching. For the more sophisticated and advanced device, this paper is presented the Partial Resonant Soft Switching Mode Power Converter which is adapted the power converter having the partial resonant soft switching mode, that makes switches operate when the resonant current or voltage becomes zero by making the resonant circuit partially at turning on and off of the switches with suitable layout of the resonant elements and switch elements in the converter. Also, this paper includes the analysis and simulation of the Partial Resonant type Buck-Boost Chopper.

The design of DC-DC converters for power electronic interfaces in power management systems for Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is a very challenging task. In this paper, the considered topology is the hi-directional buck-boost converter and inverter system. If we make the converter side DC link current the same as the inverter side DC link current in a converter-inverter system, no current will flow through the BC link capacitor and as a result, no DC link voltage variation occurs. This leads to the possibility of reducing small th size of DC link capacitors which are expensive, bulky. Therefore we propose the converter current controller which can manage to match inverter and converter current at the DC link.

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.
