Recently, the high frequency link boost DC/DC converter has been used widely for PCS (Power Conditioning System) because of the requirements of small size and low cost. However, the high frequency link boost DC/DC converters applied the conventional voltage-fed converter and current-fed converter have some problems like high conduction losses and high surge voltage due to high circulating current and leakage inductance, respectively. To improve these problems, a novel secondary LLC (called SLLC) series resonant converter is proposed in this paper and its theoretical analysis, its operating waveforms, simulation and experimental results for a boost DC/DC converter using SLLC series resonant topology verifies the proposed topology. 800W experimental prototype is tested.

본 논문에서는 풀-브리지 컨버터 회로를 기반으로 하며 양방향 전력변환이 가능한 DC-DC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안하는 컨버터는 부하의 상태에 상관없이 출력전압을 일정하게 유지하면서 연속적인 양방향 전력변환이 가능하다. 본 논문에서 대상으로 하는 부하는 충/방전기로 컨버터 출력에 여러 대의 충/방 전기가 병렬로 접속되며, 각각의 충/방전기는 개별로 동작한다. 따라서 충/방전기용 양방향 DC-DC 컨버터는 충/방전기의 동작 상태에 관계없이 연속적인 양방향 전력변환이 가능해야 한다. 제안하는 양방향 컨버터의 성능을 확인하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 제안한 컨버터가 부하급변 상태에서도 양방향 전력변환을 정상적으로 수행하는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper deals with the isolated DC-DC converter with high efficiency using the minimum reactor. In this paper, the proposed convert uses the air core reactor for ZCS(zero currunt switching) which can minimize the core losses and removes the over switching losses by soft switching. The proposed converter is verified by the modes analysis and computer simulation to prove the theoretical background and adequacy.

This paper presents a novel series connected DC/DC converter and a proper variable phase shift switching method in order to obtain high voltage ratio for fuel cell system. The proposed series connected DC/DC converter has same rectifier and LC filter for DC output voltage, so it can reduce the number of passive devices regardless of the converter number. In the conventional constant phase shift switching method, the proposed series connected DC converters have inverse bias output voltage. In order to overcome this problem, a simple but proper variable phase shift switching method is proposed in the a novel series connected DC/DC converter. In order to verify the proposed system, simulation and experiments are implemented.

DC/DC switching power converters produce DC output voltages from different DC input sources. The converter is used in regenerative braking of DC motors to return energy back in the supply, resulting in energy savings for the systems containing frequent stops. The DC/DC converter is composed of a PWM-IC (pulse width modulation integrated circuit) controller, a MOSFET (metal-oxide semi-conductor field-effect transistor), an inductor, capacitors, and resistors, etc. PWM is applied to control and regulate the total output voltage. In this paper, radiation shows the main influence on the changes in the electrical characteristics of comparator, operational amplifier, etc. in PWM-IC. In the PWM-IC operation, the missing pulses, the changes in pulse width, and the changes of the output waveform are studied by the simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) and compared with experiments.

최근 직류 출력을 갖는 분산전원 시스템의 증가와 높은 에너지 변환효율을 갖는 직류(DC) 배전 시스템에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 직류(DC) 배전을 빌딩에 적용하기 위해서는 계통연계형 AC/DC 컨버터가 필수적이다. 빌딩용 직류(DC)배전 시스템에서는 다양한 부하들이 상시 대용량의 AC/DC 컨버터에 연결되어 있기 때문에 컨버터의 기동시 과도상태를 최소화한 안정적인 DC전압 확보가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 외부 파라미터 변화나 외란에 대한 강인한 성능을 가지는 슬라이딩 모드 제어기를 사용하여 3상 AC/DC 컨버터의 초기 운전 시 발생할 수 있는 DC전압의 오버슈트 저감을 시뮬레이션에 의해 검증하였다.

The conventional three-level high frequency phase-shifted dc/dc converter has a disadvantage that a circulating current flows through transformer and switching devices during the freewheeling interval. Due to this circulating current and RMS current stress, conduction losses of transformer and switching devices increases. To alleviate these problems, we propose an improved three-level Zero Voltage and Zero Current Switchig (ZVZCS) dc/dc converter using a tapped inductor, a snubber capacitor and two snubber diodes attached at the secondary side of transformer. The proposed ZVZCS converter is verified on a 7kW, 30kHz experimental prototype.

DC/DC switching power converters are commonly used to generate a regulated DC output voltages with high efficiencies from different DC input sources. The voltage mode DC/DC converter utilizes MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor), inductor, and a PWM (pulse-width modulation) controller with oscillator, amplifier, and comparator, etc. to efficiently transfer energy from the input to the output at periodic intervals. The fundamental boost converter and a buck converter containing a switched-mode power supply are studied. In this paper, the electrical characteristics of DC/DC power converters are simulated by program of SPICE, and the PWM controller is implemented to check the operation. In addition, power efficiency is analyzed based on the specification of each component.
