본 논문은 MOSFET을 스위칭 소자로 사용한 350W급 2MHz 병렬공진 DC-AC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 DC-AC 컨버터는 스위치의 전압스트레스 크기가 입력전압과 동일한 값으로 주어져 기존의 절연형 컨버터들 중에서 가장 낮은 전압 스트레스 값을 가지고 입력전압의 크기와 출력전력의 크기를 고려하여 풀-브리지 컨버터 토폴로지를 채택하였다. MOSFET 게이트 구동펄스는 50% 시비율이며, 구동트랜스포머를 사용하여 DC-AC 컨버터의 플로팅 스위치를 구동하였다. DC-AC 컨버터의 입력 전압은 50V, 부하저항은 $500{\Omega}$의 무유도 저항을 이용했다. 출력전압과 출력전류의 실효치는 각각 430V, 800mA 이고 효율은 82.5%에 도달하였다.

Ac-dc PWM single-stage converters that integrate the PFC and dc-dc conversion functions in a single switching converter have been proposed to try to minimize the cost and complexity associated with implementing two separate and independent switch-mode converters. In this paper, two simple ac-dc single-stage PWM full-bridge converters are considered - one current-fed, the other voltage-fed. The operation of both converters is explained and their properties are noted. Experimental results obtained from simple lab prototypes of both converters are presented, then compared and discussed.

This research proposes a new rectifier circuit to reduce the circulating current of a phase-shifted full bridge converter. The proposed circuit is a structure in which the output inductor of the secondary rectifier circuit is changed to a coupled inductor in the phase-shifted full bridge with the existing center-tapped rectifier. The parts are rearranged after adding a diode. After applying the proposed circuit, the circulating current to the primary current of the transformer and the voltage stress of the rectifier diode on the secondary side of the transformer are reduced. Accordingly, the snubber loss of the rectifier is improved. By reducing the circulating current and snubber loss, the circuit achieves higher efficiency than conventional circuits. In this research, we present the structure of the proposed circuit, its strengths, and the analysis results from experiments. Furthermore, its effectiveness is verified through the experimental results of a prototype converter with an input of 300-400 V and an output of 50 V/1 kW.

This paper presents a new prototype of soft-switching DC-DC power converter with a high frequency transformer link which has two active power controlled switches in full bridge rectifier with capacitor input type smoothing filter. In this DC-DC converter, ZVS of the inverter in transformer primary side and ZCS of active rectifier area in secondary side can be completely achieved by taking advantage of parasitic inductor component of high-frequency transformer and loss less snubbing capacitors. Its operation principle and salient features are described. The steady-state operating characteristics of the proposed DC-DC power converter are illustrated and discussed on the basis of the simulation results in addition to the experimental ones obtained by 2kw-40kHz power converter breadboard set up.

In this paper, design and control is proposed for a four input-series-output-series-connected ZVS full bridge converter for the photovoltaic power conditioning system (PCS). The novel topology for a photovoltaic (PV) DC/DC converter that can dramatically reduce the power rating and increase the efficiency of a PV system by analyzing PV module characteristics is proposed. The control scheme, including an input voltage controller is proposed to achieve equal sharing of the input voltage as well output voltages by a four series connected module. Design methods for ZVS power stage are also introduced. The total PV system is implemented for a 250-kW PV power conditioning system (PCS). This system has only three DC/DC converters with a 25-kW power rating and uses only one-third of the total PV PCS power. The 25-kW prototype PV DC/DC converter is introduced to verify experimentally the proposed topology. In addition, an experimental result shows that the proposed topology exhibits good performance.

This paper proposes an active-clamp ac-dc converter with direct power conversion that has a simple structure and achieves high efficiency. The proposed converter is derived by integrating the step-down ac chopper and the output-voltage doubler. The proposed converter provides direct ac-dc conversion and dc output voltage without using any full-bridge diode rectifier. The step-down ac chopper using an active-clamp mechanism serves to clamp the voltage spike across the main switches and provides zero-voltage turn-on switching. The resonant-current path formed by the leakage inductance of the transformer and the resonant capacitor of the output-voltage doubler achieves the zero-current turn-off switching of the output diodes. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and verified. A 500W prototype is implemented to show the performance of the proposed converter. The prototype provides maximum efficiency of 95.1% at the full load.

DC-DC 위상천이 풀브릿지 컨버터는 경부하 운용시에 영전압 스위칭이 발생하지 않아 큰 스위칭손실이 발생한다. 경부하에서 위상천이 풀브릿지 컨버터의 낮은 효율을 개선하기 위해 DCM (Discontinuous Conduction Mode) 동작을 이용한다. 본 논문은 경부하에서 위상천이 컨버터의 DCM과 CCM (Continuous Conduction Mode) 동작의 특성 및 도통 손실 절감을 위한 동기 정류기의 제어 방법을 이론적으로 분석하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.
