Nowadays, more than ever before, many researchers are paying attention to raising the efficiency of a Power converter. In Flyback converter, the resistor of RCD snubber consumes the stored energy in leakage inductor. It play a role in degrading the overall system efficiency Thus, In this paper, a novel energy recovery circuit of Flyback converter is proposed to improve the efficiency. The operational principle of the proposed circuit is explained in detail. And, it is verified through the simulation results.

Generally, it is important to use the regenerative energy efficiently for decrease of inverter's consuming energy. From various industry sector (railroad, steel, crane etc), re-uses the regenerative energy which uses the regenerative converter unit, and gets a many profit from whole consuming energy. In this paper, we introduce development of the regenerative converter unit that supply the regenerative energy to power source and main drive inverter, and introduce the instance which is applied in the elevator.

In this paper, an improved non-isolated 3-level high step-up boost converter is proposed. By using the well known duality principle, the proposed converter is derived from two-phase buck converter. Compared with the traditional boost converter and 3-level boost converter, the proposed converter can obtain very high voltage conversion ratio and the voltage stress of switching devices and diodes is only 1/4 of the output voltage. A 1 kW prototype converter is built and tested to verify performances of the proposed converter.

In this paper, a non-isolated three-level high step-up boost converter with output voltage balancing is proposed. By adding one extra inductor to the conventional three-level boost converter, the proposed converter is derived. Compared with the traditional boost converter and the three-level boost converter, the proposed converter can obtain very high voltage conversion ratio, and the voltage and current stress of switching devices and diodes are reduced. A 2.7 kW prototype converter is built and tested to verify performances of the proposed converter.

This paper proposes an isolated DCDC converter that consists of unregulated LLC resonant converter and non-isolated synchronous buck converter for battery charger of energy storage systems application. The unregulated converter operates as transformer with fixed duty ratio and switching frequency. The synchronous buck converter is installed in the output of the LLC resonant converter. And the converter charges and discharges the battery by controlling a current of battery. The proposed converter can get the high efficiency by separating function. This paper explains design of an unregulated converter and synchronous converter.

This study proposes a small-signal model and control design for a two-stage DC-DC-AC converter to investigate its dynamic characteristics in relation to battery energy storage system. When the circuit analysis of the two-stage DC-DC-AC converter is attempted simultaneously, the mathematical procedure of deriving the dynamic equation is complex and difficult. The main idea of modeling the two-stage DC-DC-AC converter states that this topology is separated into a bidirectional DC-DC converter and a single-phase inverter with an equivalent current source corresponding to that of the inverter or converter. The dynamic equations for the separated converter and inverter are then derived using the state-space averaging technique. The procedures of building the small-signal model of the two-stage DC-DC-AC converter are described in detail. Based on the derived small-signal model, the individual controllers are designed through a frequency-domain analysis. The simulation and experimental results verify the validity of the proposed modeling approach and controller design.

In this paper, we proposed a soft switched synchronous boost converter, which can perform discharging the battery, is proposed. The proposed converter has low switching loss even at high frequency operation due to its soft switching characteristics. The converter operates in synchronous mode to minimize conduction loss because of changing the rectified diode to MOSFET with a low on resistance. In this reason, the efficiency of the converter can be greatly improved in high frequency. In this paper, the battery discharger with a switching frequency of 100 kHz, has been designed. The designed converter also simulated to prove the converter's characteristics of synchronous operation as well as soft switching operation. The simulation shows that the proposed converter always meets the soft switching conditions of turning on and off switching in the zero voltage and zero current states. Therefore, simulation results have confirmed that the proposed battery discharge had soft switching characteristics. The simulation results have confirmed that the proposed battery discharger had soft switching and synchronous operation characteristics.

Due to several advantages of Pulse Width Modulation(PWM) Converter, such as unity power factor operation, elimination of low-order harmonics and regeneration of motor braking energy to source, the application range of PWM Converter has been rapidly extended in industrial application. Nowadays, vector control algorithm and space vector PWM(SVPWM) method are applied to improve the performances of PWM Converter, but vector control algorithm and SVPWM require to use Microprocessor and other digital devices in hardware, causing costly and somewhat large dimension system. In every practical application of energy conversion equipments, the design and implementation should be carried out considering cost and performance. High performance and low cost is the best choice for energy conversion equipments. So, this paper presents the practical design method and implementation results of 3-phase PWM Converter with analog hysteresis current controller, and verifies the performances of unit power factor operation and energy regeneration operation via experimental results.

This paper proposes a 3 kW single-phase bi-directional multi-level converter for energy storage applications. The proposed topology is based on the H-bridge structure with four switches connected to the DC-link. A simple phase opposition disposition PWM method that requires only one carrier signal is also suggested. The switching sequence to balance the capacitor voltage is considered. The topology can be extended to a nine-level converter or a three-phase system. The operating principle of the proposed converter is verified through a simulation and an experiment.
