This paper presents the modeling and design of a digital controller for a phase-shifted full-bridge converter (PSFBC) in a discrete-time domain. The discretized PSFBC model is first derived and then analyzed considering the sampling effect and the system parameters. Based on this model, the digital controller is directly designed in a discrete-time domain. The simulation and experimental results are provided to show the validity of the proposed modeling and controller design.

본 논문에서는 대용량급 전력변환회로를 대상으로, 기존 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터의 환류 전류 문제를 해결하기 위하여 새로운 모드 가변형 비대칭 풀 브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 구동시비율 D에 따라 50% 이하에서는 비대칭 풀 브리지 컨버터로 동작하며, 50% 이상에서는 능동 클램프 풀 브리지 컨버터로 동작하게 된다. 따라서 제안된 회로는 정상상태시 약 50% 시비율로 동작되므로 기존 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터의 문제점인 환류전류를 제거 할 수 있으며, 이를 통하여 도통 손실을 줄일 수 있다. 또한, 넓은 부하범위에서 영전압 스위칭 동작이 가능하며, 출력 전류 리플도 매우 작은 장점이 있다. 특히 순간정전시 능동 클램프 컨버터로 동작 모드가 변하여 50~100% 시비율로 동작되므로 넓은 입력전압범위에 대해 대응이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로의 동작원리 및 PSIM simulation을 수행하였으며, 1.2kW급 시작품을 제작하여 제안된 회로의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Recently, an active-clamp, full-bridge boost converter has been actively studied for high-power applications such as power factor correction and battery discharger. However, DC and AC modeling for this converter has not conquered. In this paper, a DC and small-signal AC modeling for the active-clamp, full-bridge boost converter is described. Based on the operation principle, the ac part of the converter can be replaced by a do counterpart. Then, a conceptual equivalent circuit is derived by rearranging the switches. The equivalent circuit for this converter consists of CCM (Continuous conduction mode) boost and DCM (Discontinuous conduction mode) buck converter. The analyses for the equivalent CCM boost and DCM buck converter are done using the model of PWM switch. The theoretical modeling results are confirmed through experiment or SIMPLIS simulation.

A full-bridge secondary dual-resonant DC-DC converter using the asymmetrical pulse-width modulated (APWM) strategy is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter achieves zero-voltage switching for the power switches and zero-current switching for the rectifier diodes in the whole load range without the help of any auxiliary circuit. Given the use of the APWM strategy, a circulating current that exists in a traditional phase-shift full-bridge converter is eliminated. The voltage stress of secondary rectifier diodes in the proposed converter is also clamped to the output voltage. Thus, the existing voltage oscillation of diodes in traditional PSFB converters is eliminated. This paper presents the circuit configuration of the proposed converter and analyzes its operating principle. Experimental results of a 1 kW 385 V/48 V prototype are presented to verify the analysis results of the proposed converter.

This study presents a novel transformer isolated parallel connected quasi Z-source (qZ-source) full-bridge DC-DC converter that uses a coupled inductor in both the qZ-source network and output filter inductor. Unlike traditional voltage-fed or current-fed converters, the proposed converter can be open- and short-circuited without damaging switching devices. Therefore, the desired buck and boost functions can be achieved and converter reliability can be significantly improved. All the bulky inductors in the qZ-source network and output filter can also be minimized with the proposed inductor structures. A 4 kW prototype DC-DC converter is built and tested to verify the performance of the proposed converter.

본 논문에서는 스위칭시 ZVS 기능을 갖는 풀 브리지 위상전이 컨버터의 디지털 컨트롤러의 설계에 대해 연구하였다. 디지털 컨트롤러는 인버터나 전동기 구동 시스템에서 넓게 사용되었다. 그러나 디지털 컨트롤러는 고주파 스위칭 파워 서플라이 (특히 풀브리지 DC/DC 컨버터)에는 적용되지 못했었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 ZVS 기능을 가진 풀 브리지 위상전이 컨버터의 디지털 컨트롤을 위한 방법을 제안하고, 기존의 아날로그 컨트롤러와 비교하였다. 수치 연산 패키지인 MATLAB을 이용한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제어기 설계를 최적화하였다.

This paper proposes a fuzzy logic controlled new topology of high voltage gain zero voltage switching (ZVS) asymmetrical PWM full-bridge DC-DC boost converter for constant load and high power applications. The APWM full-bridge stage provides high voltage gain and soft-switching characteristics increase the efficiency and reduce the switching losses. Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) improves the performance and dynamic characteristics of the proposed converter. A comparison with a classical proportional-integral (PI) controller demonstrates the high performances of the proposed technique in terms of effective output voltage regulation under different operating conditions. Simulation is done by integrating two different simulation platforms $PSIM^{(R)}$ and $Matlab^{(R)}/Simulink^{(R)}$ by using SimCoupler tool of $PSIM^{(R)}$. Experimental results using 120W load have been provided to validate the results.

The performance of an isolated high voltage full bridge converter is improved using a voltage doubler. In a conventional high voltage full bridge converter, the diode of the transformer secondary voltage undergoes a voltage spike due to the leakage inductance of the transformer and the resonance occurring with the parasitic capacitance of the diode. In addition, in the phase shift control, conduction loss largely increases from the freewheeling mode because of the circulating current. The efficiency of the converter is thus reduced. However, in the proposed converter, the high voltage dual converter consists of a voltage doubler because the circulating current of the converter is reduced to increase efficiency. On the other hand, in the proposed converter, an input current is distributed when using parallel input / serial output and the output voltage can be doubled. However, the voltages in the 2 serial DC links might be unbalanced due to line impedance, passive and active components impedance, and sensor error. Considering these problems, DC injection is performed due to the complementary operations of half bridge inverters as well as the disadvantage of the unbalance in the DC link. Therefore, the serial output of the converter needs to control the balance of the algorithm. In this paper, the performance of the conventional converter is improved and a balance control algorithm is proposed for the proposed converter. Also, the system of the 1.5[kW] PCS is verified through an experiment examining the operation and stability.
