In this paper, we propose a new diagnosis method of DC/DC converter aging. The method is based on variations of the parasitic resistor for the aging process. We apply an on-line diagnosis of the DC/DC converter because the observation is not a device, but a system. This study proposes a method of DC/DC converter diagnosis by analyzing the variations of model on the variations of parasitic resistor.

This work deals with a switching method for minimizing overcurrent in a three-phase interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converter with frequency modulation. Generally, a three-phase interleaved DC-DC converter is used to reduce a current ripple component. The combined operation of three-phase and two-phase converters can significantly reduce the ripple component. However, the conventional PWM method cannot solve severe overcurrent during phase transfer or frequency variation for power control. To overcome this problem, this work proposes a new PWM switching method. A 3 kW DC-DC power converter is designed and implemented, and the converter is operated in discontinuous current mode with varying switching frequencies for power control. Simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed switching method. The proposed switching method can be widely used in the field of current ripple reduction for three-phase interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converters.

This paper shows the design and control methods of the bidirectional DC-DC converter to generate the proper DC-link voltage of a PMSM drive. Conventionally, because the controllable power of the PWM based voltage source inverter is limited by its DC-link voltage, the DC-DC converter is used for boosted DC-link voltage if the inverter source cannot generate enough operating voltage for the PMSM drive. In this paper, to obtain more utilization of this DC-DC converter, optimal DC-link voltage control for PMSM drive will be explained. First, the process and current path of the DC-DC converter will be illustrated, and a control method of this converter for variable DC-link voltage will then be explained. Finally, an improvement analysis of the optimal DC-link voltage control method, especially on the deadtime effect, will be explained. The DC-DC converter of the proposed control method is verified by the experiments by comparing with the conventional constant voltage control method.

The control method of the bidirectional DC/DC converter for instantaneous regenerative current control is described in this paper. The general method to control the DC/DC converter is the output voltage control. However, the regenerative current cannot be controlled to be constant with this control method. To improve the performance of the conventional control method, the DC-link voltage of the inverter is controlled within the tolerance range by the instantaneous boost and buck operations of the bidirectional DC/DC converter. By the proposed control method, the battery current can be controlled to be constant regardless of the motor speed variation. The improved performance of the DC/DC converter controlled by the proposed control method is verified by the experiment and simulation of the system with the inverter and IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) which is operated by the reduced practical speed profile.

In this paper, Parallel operation of two DC-DC converters which we have ever done before need two CTs to do load current sharing. However, we have proposed a new method called ZCT method that can share load current with only a CT as doing parallel operation two converters with same converter capacity. To confirm parallel performance by a proposed DC-DC converter parallel operation method, we have done computer simulation and experiment. It is certain that we have showed to achieve two converters current sharing performance efficiently through simulation and experiment at result.

Electrolytic capacitors have been widely used in power electronics system because of the features of large capacitance, small size, high-voltage, and low-cost. Electrolytic capacitors, which is most of the time affected by aging effect, plays a very important role for the power electronics system quality and reliability. Therefore it is important to estimate the parameter of an electrolytic capacitor to predict the failure. The estimation of the equivalent series resistance(ESR) is important parameter in life condition monitoring of electrolytic capacitor. This paper proposes a simple technique to measure the ESR of an electrolytic capacitor. This method uses a switching DC/DC boost converter to measure the DC Bus capacitor ESR of power converter. Main advantage of the proposed method is very simple in technique, consumes very little time and requires only simple instruments. Simulation results are shown to verify the performance of the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 DC-DC 컨버터에 적합한 퍼지제어기를 제안하였고, 이는 제어 파라메터의 변화가 심한 경우 기존의 선형 제어로는 만족할 수 없는 성능을 달성하기 위해서이다. 제안된 퍼지제어기는 범용으로 어떠한 DC-DC 컨버터 토폴로지(topologies)에도 적용할 수 있다. 퍼지 제어기 실행은 지존의 오차와 오차의 변화량에 의존하는 방식보다는 주요 상태변수를 이용하는 방식을 사용하였으며, 이는 DC-DC 컨보터의 경우 매우 효과적으로 작용하여 기존의 제어기보다 빠르고 안정적인 소신호응답 및 더욱 향상된 대신호응답을 보장하였다.예로서 부스트(boost) 컨버터에의 적용시 그 시물레이션 결과는 향상된 제어 가능성을 보여주고 있다.

본 논문에서는 연료전지용 전력변환 장치에서 높은 승압비를 구현하기 위하여 절연형 풀브릿지 컨버터의 고주파 변압기 2차측을 직렬로 연결한 새로운 DC/DC 컨버터와 이에 적합한 가변 위상변위 스위칭 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 컨버터는 기존 방식에 비해 정류부와 필터부의 일원화가 가능한 구조로 출력레벨의 증가를 위해 컨버터의 수를 증가 하더라도, 수동소자의 수를 대폭 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 직렬 방식의 컨버터의 출력전압은 기존의 일정위상변위 스위칭 방식으로는 극성이 반대로 되는 구간이 발생하므로, 제안된 전력변환기에 적합한 간단한 가변 위상 변위 스위칭 방식을 적용함으로써, 출력전압의 감소문제를 해결하였으며, 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 제안된 방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Recently, parallel operation of dc-dc converters has been widely used in distributed power systems. In this paper, a control method to achieve parallel operation of three-phase bi-directional isolated interleaved dc-dc converters is discussed for the battery charging and discharging system which consists of the 32 battery charger/dischargers and two three-phase bi-directional isolated interleaved dc-dc converters. In the boost mode, the battery energy is delivered to the grid, whereas the grid energy is transferred to the battery in the buck mode operation. The average current sharing control method is employed to obtain an equal conducting of each phase current in the three-phase dc-dc converter. By using the proposed method, the imbalance factor is gratefully reduced from 8 percent to 1 percent. Two 2.5kW three-phase bi-directional dc-dc converter prototype have been built and the proposed method has been verified through experiments.
