This paper presents a novel transformer isolated parallel connected full-bridge dc-dc converter using recently developed trans-Z-source network. Unlike the traditional voltage -fed or current-fed converters, the proposed converter can be open- and short-circuited without damaging switching devices. Therefore, the desired buck and boost function can be achieved and the converter reliability can be greatly improved. A 6 kW prototype dc-dc converter is built and tested to verify performances of the proposed converter.

Currently, many studies on green ships are under way. Fuel cell (FC) ships are of interest as future low-emission, fuel-efficient vessels. In this paper, a hybrid power management system for an FC ship was designed. The system consists of an FC, a battery, a unidirectional DC/DC converter, a bidirectional DC/DC converter, a filter, an inverter, and a propulsion component. To design the system, we analyze electric sources and converters, and create PLECS models of hybrid power management system. Then, we check the cold start sequence and perform a simulation to understand the characteristics of the hybrid power management system in an FC ship.

A new soft switched active snubber circuit is proposed to achieve zero voltage and zero current switching for all the switching devices in PWM DC-DC converters. The unique location of the snubber capacitor and inductor ensures low current/voltage stresses and commutation losses. With a saturable reactor, the conduction loss of the auxiliary switch could be further minimized. A boost converter adopting this technique is presented as an example, to illuminate its operation principles and derive the design procedures. Simulation and hardware implementation have been made to validate its performance. Some other basic PWM DC-DC topologies using the proposed snubber have also been given.

본 논문은 PWM DC-DC 변환기의 입력 임피던스를 Middlebrook의 EET (Extra Element Theorem)를 사용하여 해석할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고, 이를 이용하여 실제로 전압 제어, 전류 제어 승압형 변환기에 대한 입력 임피던스를 해석하였다. 유도된 수식은 간략화, 근사화를 통하여 보드 선도 (Bode plot)화 하였고, 입력 임피던스 특성 및 전류 루프, 피드백/피드포워드 루프, 전압루프의 영향을 해석하였다. 또한 이론적 해석은 컴퓨터시뮬레이션 결과 및 실제 제작된 PWM DC-DC 변환기의 실험 결과로 비교, 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 3상 양방향 절연형 인터리브드 DC-DC 컨버터의 병렬 제어기법에 대해 기술한다. 대전력 적용 시, DC-DC 컨버터를 단독으로 운전하는 것이 아닌 병렬로 연결하여 운전을 하게 되는데 이때 발생하는 전류의 불평형을 해결하기 위하여 부스트 모드와 벅 모드에서 저전압측의 전압을 제어하는 전압제어기에 각 컨버터의 전류차를 보상하는 전류제어기를 제안하였며 각 모드에서 전류의 불평형이 보상되는 것을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

A new primary-side-assisted zero-voltage and zero-current switching full bridge DC-DC converter with transformer isolation is proposed. The auxiliary circuit adopted to assist ZCS for the leading leg is composed of only one small transformer and two diodes. It has a simple and robust structure, and load current control capability even in short circuit conditions. Possibility of magnetic saturation due to asymmetricity of circuits or transient phenomena is greatly reduced, which is a very attractive feature in DC/DC converters with transformer isolation. The power rating of the auxiliary transformer is about 10% of that of the main transformer. Operation of a 12.5KW prototype designed for welding application was verified by experiments.

This paper studies the state estimation problem for the current of DC/DC boost converters with parasitic inductor resistance. The parasitic resistance increases the system uncertainty when the output load variation occurs. In order to enhance the observation performance of the Luenberger observer this paper includes the integral of the estimation error signal to the estimation algorithm. By using the proposed PI observer the converter current signal is successfully reconstructed with the voltage measurement regardless of the load uncertainty. Computer simulation has been carried out by using Simulink/Sim Power System. Simulation results show the proposed method maintains robust estimation performance against the model uncertainty.

This paper presents a multi output converter system that controls, simultaneously, the separate buck converter and boost converter with the different specification by one digital controller using fuzzy algorithm. 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. Inference procedure of fuzzy controller is included. The control characteristics of each PWM DC-DC converter is validated by experimental results.

This study presents a novel transformer isolated parallel connected quasi Z-source (qZ-source) full-bridge DC-DC converter that uses a coupled inductor in both the qZ-source network and output filter inductor. Unlike traditional voltage-fed or current-fed converters, the proposed converter can be open- and short-circuited without damaging switching devices. Therefore, the desired buck and boost functions can be achieved and converter reliability can be significantly improved. All the bulky inductors in the qZ-source network and output filter can also be minimized with the proposed inductor structures. A 4 kW prototype DC-DC converter is built and tested to verify the performance of the proposed converter.
