This paper presents a new circuit topology of active edge resonant snubbers assisted half-bridge soft switching PWM inverter type DC-DC high power converter for DC bus feeding power plants. The proposed DC-DC power converter is composed of a typical voltage source-fed half-bridge high frequency PWM inverter with a high frequency planar transformer link in addition to input DC busline side power semiconductor switching devices for PWM control scheme and parallel capacitive lossless snubbers. The operating principle of the new DC-DC converter treated here is described by using switching mode equivalent circuits, together with its unique features. All the active power switches in the half-bridge arms and input DC buslines can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutation transitions. The total turn-off switching losses of the power switches can be significantly reduced. As a result, a high switching frequency IGBTs can be actually selected in the frequency range of 60 kHz under the principle of soft switching. The performance evaluations of the experimental setup are illustrated practically. The effectiveness of this new converter topology is proved for such low voltage and large current DC-DC power supplies as DC bus feeding from a practical point of view.

Recently, a fuel cell with low voltage and high current of electronic output characteristics is remarkable for new generation system. It needs both a dc-dc boost converter and do-ac inverter to be used in domestic power. Therefore, this paper presents do-dc boost converter with ZVS for fuel cell generation system This topology has several advantages, which are ZVS characteristics of all of main and auxiliary switches, reduction of reactor component size because of high frequency switching, and low rated voltage stress of the switches. In this paper, theoretical analysis, operation principle, and design procedures are presented. And simulation results from Pspice are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.

This paper deals with a bidirectional ac-dc converter used in ups system application. We propose a Voltage-Source-Charge-Pump-Power-Factor-Correction(VS-CPPFC) ac-dc converters. First of all, we propose a charge pump power-factor-correction converter. Secondly, we derive and analyse a unity power factor condition. The proposed topology is based on a half-bridge for the primary and a current-fed push pull for the secondary side of a high frequency isolation transformer. The advantage of bidirectional flow of power achieved by using the same power components is that the circuit is simple and efficient. And the galvanically isolated topology is specially attractive in battery charge/discharge circuits in ups system. We design equivalent model for the steady-state circuit and analyse operation waveforms for each mode. We show that the proposed model can be applied to ups system by simulation processes.

최근 전기 자동차가 현실화 되면서 자동차 내부의 Li-Ion 배터리와 전장 부품들 및 납축전지 간의 에너지를 변환하는 회로에 대한 요구가 커지고 있다. 이 회로는 높은 전압을 갖는 Li-Ion 배터리와 낮은 구동 전압을 갖는 다른 전장 부품들로 인해 출력 단이 대 전류를 취한다는 특징을 갖고 있는데 이로 인하여 출력 단의 도통 손실을 줄이기 위한 연구들이 계속되고 있다. 본 논문은 기존의 2 Transformer 형식의 브릿지 컨버터를 Parallel-Series로 연결시킨 회로를 제안하고 이 회로의 동작을 분석하였다. 제안한 회로는 2차 측에 인덕터가 존재하지 않는 Current-Fed방식으로 구동 되며, 이를 통해 도통 손실을 감소 시켰으며, 2차 측을 Series 형태로 쌓아 배터리 연계 시스템에서 문제가 되었던 Wide Range 입. 출력 시스템에서의 동작 문제를 해결하였다.

In this paper, a PFC(Power Factor Correction) electronic ballast with constant voltage-fed is proposed. The proposed PFC electronic ballast is combined of a high-efficiency boost converter and a conventional half bridge inverter. It is proved that the ripple of input-current and the input-current's harmonic of the proposed PFC electronic ballast are reduced using the voltage divider and soft-switching technique. It is demonstrated that simulation results for fluorescent lamp correspond with theoretical analysis.

전류원 컨버터는 전압원 컨버터에 비해 스위치 차단 시 발생하는 서지에 연루되는 에너지가 커, 무손실 스너버가 필수적인데, 이 스너버는 그 동작 원리가 복잡하고 동작조건이 바뀜에 따라 성능의 변동이 심하여 설계가 어렵고, 적용되는 회로에 따라서도 설계식이 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 0.5 이상의 시비율로 동작하는 전류원 하프-브릿지 컨버터를 위한 무손실 스너버의 동작을 완전히 분석하고 설계사항에 대해 고찰한 뒤 실험을 통해 검증한다.

This paper describes two novel current fed high frequency resonant inverter can be used as the power supp]y for wax-sealing. This two topology can be obtained higher output frequency than switching frequency by composing modified unit inverter based on conventional half-bridge serial resonant inverter in parallel with input power source. also, By using time-sharing gate control method, this proposed inverter can not only realize the output control of dependence irrespective of the switching frequency using phase-shift but also reduce switching loss because it has ZVS function. Simulation results through the Pspice have demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed inverter. This proposed inverter will be able to be practically used as a power supply in various fields as induction heating applications, DC-DC converter etc.
