본 논문에서는 DC-DC 부스트 컨버터의 최소 입력전압을 250mV 까지 낮출 수 있도록 하는 저전압 스타트업 전압 발생기를 제안 하였다. 제안된 스타트업 전압 발생기는 250mV의 입력전압을 500mV 이상으로 승압시켜 커패시터에 충전한다. 이후, 커패시터에 저장된 전압으로 부스트 컨버터를 시동시킴으로써, 250mV의 낮은 입력 전압에서도 부스트 컨버터가 동작을 시작할 수 있도록 하였다. 부스트 컨버터가 정상 동작한 후에는, 부스트 컨버터에 의하여 만들어지는 승압된 출력전압을 다시 부스트 컨버터의 전원으로 사용하게 함으로써, 스타트업 동작 후에는 기존 부스트 컨버터와 동일한 높은 전력 변환 효율로 동작 하도록 하였다. 제안된 스타트업 전압 발생기는 낮은 입력전압에서 트랜지스터의 바디전압을 조절하여 트랜지스터의 문턱전압을 낮춤으로써, 입력전압을 승압시키는 딕슨 차지펌프에 높은 클럭 주파수와 큰 전류를 공급하도록 하였다. 제안된 스타트업 전압 발생기는 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 제작되었으며, 250mV의 입력전압에서 생성된 클럭 주파수와 출력전압은 각각 34.5kHz와 522mV였다.

In this paper, an improved full wave mode ZVT-PWM DC-DC Converter is presented to maximize the regeneration ratio of resonant energy by only putting an additional diode in series with auxiliary switch. The operation of auxiliary switch in a half wave mode makes possible the soft switching condition of all switches. Furthermore, the increase of the regeneration ratio to resonant energy results in low conduction losses and minimum voltage and current stresses. The operation principles of the proposed converters are analyzed using the PWM boost converter topology as an example. Theoretically analysis and experimental results verify the validity of the boost converter topology with the proposed full wave mode ZVT-PWM converters

최근 들어, 저전압·대전류 출력 특성을 갖는 연료전지를 위한 새로운 발전시스템이 주목받고 있다. 연료전지 발전시스템에서는 dc-dc 승압용 컨버터와 dc-ac 인버터가 필요하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 연료전지 발전시스템을 위한 ZVS 동작을 가진 dc-dc 능동 클램프 전류형 하프 브리지 컨버터를 제안하였다. 제안된 컨버터는 일반적인 dc-dc 컨버터에 비해 높은 효율과 높은 소자 이용율을 가진다. 연료전지 발전시스템은 연료전지(PEMFC)의 낮은 전압(28∼43[Vdc])을 380[Vdc]로 승압하기 위한 능동 클램프 전류형 하프 브리지 컨버터로 구성하였다. 단상 풀 브리지 인버터는 220[Vac], 60[Hz] 교류 출력을 얻기 위해 적용하였다.

Due to the increasing amount of applications of power electronic ac-dc converters, it is necessary to design a single-stage converter that can reliably perform both buck and boost operations. Traditionally, this can be achieved by double-stage conversion (ac/dc-dc/dc) which ultimately leads to less efficiency and a more complex control system. This paper discusses two types of modern ac-dc converters. First, the novel impedance-source ac-dc converter, abbreviated as custom Z-source rectifier, is analyzed; and then, switched inductor (SL) Z-source ac-dc converter is proposed. This paper describes the Z-source rectifiers' operating principles, the concepts behind them, and their superiorities. Analysis and simulation results show that the proposed custom Z-source rectifier can step up and step down voltage; and the main advantage of the SL Z-source ac-dc converter is its high step-up capability. Low ripple of the output dc voltage is the other advantage of the proposed converters. Finally, the SL Z-source ac-dc converter is compared with the custom Z-source ac-dc converter.

Renewable energy resources such as wind and photovoltaic power generation systems demand a high step-up DC-DC converters to convert the low voltage to commercial grid voltage. However, the high step-up converter using a transformer has limitations of high voltage stresses of switches and diodes when the transformer winding ratio increases. Accordingly, conventional studies have been applied to series-connect multioutput converters such as forward-flyback and switched-capacitor flyback to reduce the transformer winding ratio. This paper proposes new single-ended converter topologies of an isolation type and a non-isolation type to improve power efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and output ripple. The first proposal is an isolation-type charge-pump switched-capacitor flyback converter that includes an extreme-ratio isolation switched-capacitor cell with a chargepump circuit. It reduces the transformer winding number and the output ripple, and further improves power efficiency without any cost increase. The next proposal is a non-isolation charge-pump switched-capacitor-flyback tapped-inductor boost converter, which adds a charge-pump-connected flyback circuit to the conventional switched-capacitor boost converter to improve the power efficiency and to reduce the efficiency degradation from the input variation. In this paper, the operation principle of the proposed scheme is presented with the experimental results of the 100 W DC-DC converter for verification.

In this paper, a high step-up DC-DC PWM converter with continuous input current and low voltage stress is presented for renewable energy application. The proposed converter is composed of a boost converter integrated with an auxiliary step-up circuit. The auxiliary circuit uses an additional coupled inductor and a balancing capacitor with voltage doubler and switching capacitor technique to achieve high step-up voltage gain with an appropriate switch duty cycle. The switched capacitors are charged in parallel and discharged in series by the coupled inductor, stacking on the output capacitor. In the proposed converter, the voltage stress on the main switch is clamped, so a low voltage switch with low ON resistance can be used to reduce the conduction loss which results in the efficiency improvement. A detailed discussion on the operating principle and steady-state analyses are presented in the paper. To justify the theoretical analysis, experimental results of a 200W 40/400V prototype is presented. In addition, the conducted electromagnetic emissions are measured which shows a good EMC performance.

This paper presents battery charging method using 3-phase AC-DC boost converter. General battery charging method is that charging the battery voltage to the reference voltage according to the constant current(CC) control, when it reaches the reference voltage, charging the battery fully according to the constant voltage(CV) control. However, battery chaging time is increased because of the battery impedance, constant current charging section which shoud take the large amount of charge is narrow, and constant voltage charging section which can generate insufficient charge is widen. To improve this problem, we proposes the method to reduce the charging time according to the SOC(State of Charge) estimation using battery impedance.

In this paper, new high-efficiency zero voltage switching (ZVS) AC-DC boost converter is proposed to achieve power factor correction by simplifing energy recovery circuit. A lot of high power factor correction circuits have been proposed and applied to increase input power factor and efficiency. Most of these circuits may obtain unity power factor and achieve sinusoidal current waveform with zero voltage or/and zero current switching. However, it is difficult for them to obtain low cost, small size, low weight, and low noise. The topology proposed to improve these problems can compact the devices in circuit and can achieve high efficiency ZVS AC-DC boost converter. Simulation and experimental results show that this topology is capable of obtaining high power factor and increasing the efficiency of the system.
