본 논문은 개선된 형태의 Forward-flyback 컨버터 회로를 제안하고, 회로 동작 및 정상 상태를 분석한다. 제안된 회로는 단일 스위치와 다중 출력 변압기를 사용하여 Forward-flyback 컨버터를 구성하며, 기존의 Forward-flyback 회로보다 적은 수의 다이오드를 사용하여 회로를 구동한다. 또한 Flyback 부분의 경우 Forward 부분 출력단의 LC필터를 사용할 수 있도록 구성하여 전압 출력 특성에서의 개선 역시 얻을 수 있다. 기생소자가 없는 경우에 대하여 회로의 동작 분석이 이루어 졌으며, 실험을 통해 이를 검증하였다.

The push-pull current-fed DC-to-DC converter has only one energy storage reactor in series with the input for any number of outputs. It is considered that this property of the converter has considerable advantages over other multiple-output circuits. The steady state characteristics of the converter with two outputs is analyzed. It is known that the voltage difference between the two outputs appears by existing the 2nd winding resistance of transformer and there is a region of the duty ratio in which the voltage difference of the converter is smaller than that of the forward converter.

This paper proposes a DC-DC converter which is able to charge and discharge secondary batteries. The converter operates as a double-ended forward converter in charging process and as electrical isolated boost converter in discharging process. The converter is designed for continuous current operation. The switching frequency is selected as 100kHz to reduce the size of both the inductor and the capacitor.

We report the performance of an open-frame type low-voltage high-current DC-DC converter module developed using an active clamp forward converter circuit and single ended rectifier. The converter module is designed with the specifications of an 3.3V output voltage, 30A output current, 100W output power and 36-75V input voltage. The synchronous rectifier is used to reduce the conduction loss at high current level and constant current control using precision PCB resistance is adapted to enhance the over current protection function in the system configuration. A prototype converter module is successfully implemented within 8mm height and quarter brick size (58x37mm) and recorded an $95W/in^3$ power density, 90.6$\%$ efficiency and 0.07$\%$ voltage regulation for the entire Input voltage range, thereby demonstrating its application potentials to future telecommunication electronics.

In this paper, a bidirectional Zeta-Flyback converter is proposed. The topology of the proposed converter is analyzed, which is superposition of bidirectional Flyback converter mode and bidirectional Zeta converter mode in a cycle. The proposed converter allows power flow in either a forward direction or a backward direction. Bidirectional power flow is obtained by a transformer and components. The proposed converter's output is controlled by duty of constant frequency PWM of switch. Compared to conventional bidirectional isolated DC-DC converters, the proposed isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter has high power density and high transformer utilization. To confirm the proposed converter, the simulation and experimental results are presented.

본 논문에서는 고역률 및 고효율 동작이 가능한 단일 전력단 forward-flyback 컨버터를 제안한다. 기존 단일전력단 forward 컨버터의 경우, 입력 전압이 출력 전압보다 낮은 경우 Dead zone 구간이 발생하여 고역률 획득이 어려우며, 자화 인덕터 offset 전류가 크기 때문에 자기소자의 손실로 인한 고효율 동작이 어렵다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 forward-flyback 컨버터는 2차 측에 삽입된 DC 블러킹 캐패시터에 의해 자화 인덕터의 offset 전류를 감소 할 수 있고, 입력 전압에 관계 없이 항상 출력 측으로 에너지를 전달 할 수 있으므로 고효율 및 고역률 획득에 유리하다. 또한 coupled inductor를 사용한 출력 인덕터에 의해 출력 다이오드에는 각 각 동일한 전류가 흐르며, 전압 스트레스를 감소시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 제안된 단일 전력단 forward-flyback 컨버터의 타당성을 검증을 위하여 45W급 LED 전원 공급장치의 시작품 제작을 통한 실험 결과를 제시한다.

본 논문은 LED 조명용 구동회로에 적합한 새로운 단일전력단 역률개선 Forward-Flyback 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 기본적으로 Forward 컨버터로서 동작하므로 트랜스포머 자화인덕터 전류의 오프셋을 최소화 할 수 있으며 스위치 오프 시 트랜스포머 자화 인덕터 전류를 Flyback 동작에 의해 출력 측으로 회생시킴으로서 순환전류를 최소화 할 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 기존 Forward 컨버터의 경우 입력전압이 낮은 영역에서 큰 Dead zone이 존재하므로 고역률의 획득이 어려우나 제안된 회로의 경우 매 스위칭 시 Flyback컨버터 동작을 동시에 수행하므로 높은 역률을 획득할 수 있다. 최종적으로 제안된 회로의 우수성 검증을 위해 24W급 조명용 LED 구동회로의 시작품을 제작을 통한 실험 결과를 제시한다.

This paper presents an optimal initial firing angle control based on the energy consumption and regenerative energy of a parallel multi-pulse thyristor dual converter for urban railway power substations. To prevent short circuiting the thyristor dual converter, a hysteresis band for maintaining a zero-current discontinuous section (ZCDS) is essential during mode changes. During conversion from the ZCDS to forward or reverse mode, the DC trolley voltage can be stabilized by selecting the optimal initial firing angle without an overshoot and slow response. However, the optimal initial firing angle is different depending on the line impedance of each converter. Therefore, the control algorithm for tracking the optimal initial firing angle is proposed to eliminate the overshoot and slow response of DC trolley voltage. Simulations and experiments show that the proposed algorithm yields the fastest DC voltage control performance in the transient state by tracking the optimal firing angle.
