One of the major trends in traction power electronics is increasing the switching frequencies. The advances in the frequency elevation have made it possible to reduce the total size and weight of the passive components such as capacitors, inductors and transformers in the DC/DC converter and hence to increase the power density. The traction dynamic performance is also improved. This document describes several aspects relating to the design of resonant DC/DC converter operating at high frequency(10KHz) and the converter topologies and the control method of MAGLEV, which result in soft switching, are discussed.

This paper presents a bidirectional DC-DC converter suitable for low-voltage super capacitor-based electric energy storage systems. The DC-DC converter presented here consists of a full-bridge circuit and a current-fed push-pull circuit with a high frequency (HF) transformer-link. In order to reduce the device-conduction losses due to the large current of the super capacitor as well as unnecessary ringing, synchronous rectification is employed in the super capacitor-charging mode. A wide range of voltage regulation between the battery and the super capacitor can be realized by employing a Phase-Shifting (PS) Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) scheme in the full-bridge circuit for the super capacitor charging mode as well as the overlapping PWM scheme of the gate signals to the active power devices in the push-pull circuit for the super capacitor discharging mode. Essential performance of the bidirectional DC-DC converter is demonstrated with simulation and experiment results, and the practical effectiveness of the DC-DC converter is discussed.

본 연구에서는 자동차용 강압 DC-DC 컨버터 모듈 설계 방법 중 변조 스위칭 잡음과 전자파 방사의 감소방법에 대한 시뮬레이션 연구가 수행되었다. PMIC(Power Management Integrated Circuit) 칩을 이용한 4층 PCB 기본 회로가 제시되었고, 컨버터 모듈의 두 입력단자(+, -) 및 입력 필터와 PMIC 사이에서의 전자파 잡음과 전자기 방사 특성에 대한 시뮬레이션이 1.0~5.0MHz 대역과 100MHz 대역에서 수행되었다. 전도성 방사 특성은 3.0MHz와 104MHz에 대한 결과를 제시하였고, 입력포트로 되돌아오는 전도성 방사를 줄이기 위해 컨버터 출력 단자를 PCB의 3층 혹은 4층에 입력단의 전류 흐름과 반대되는 방향으로 배치하여 평균 10dB 이상의 개선효과가 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 지금까지 제시된 불요 전자파 감소 방법에 비해 개선효과가 높아 향후 컨버터 모듈 설계에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, an UPS system using high-frequency link AC to DC converter is Proposed. The AC to DC converter has sinusoidal input current and high power factor. In this UPS system, the waveform of the output voltage has smaller harmonic contents than those of a conventional UPS system. In this paper, an operating principle of the system is presented. This new control technique of the UPS system is capable of providing a wide range regulated output DC voltage compared with the conventional UPS system. Performance of the system carried out through theoretical and experimental means.

This paper deals with a fixed frequency full-bridge inverter type DC-DC high-power converter with high frequency high voltage(HFHV) transformer-coupled stage, which operates under quasi-resonant ZVS transition priciple in spite of a wide PWM-based voltage regulation processing and largely-changed load conditions. This multi-resonant(MR) converter topology is composed of a series capacitor-connected parallel resonant tank which makes the most of parasitic circuit reactive components of HFHV transformer and two additional quasi-resonant pole circuits incorporated into the bridge legs. The soft-switching operation and practical efficacy of this new converter circuit using the latest IGBTs are actually ascertained through 50kV trially-produced converter system operating using 20kHz/30kHz high voltage(HV) transformers which is applied for driving the diagnostic HV X-ray tube load in medical equipments. It is proved from a practical point of view that the switching losses of IGBTs and their electrical dynamic stresses relating to EMI noise can be considerably reduced under a high frequency(HF) switching-based phase-shift PWM control process for a load setting requirements.

It is very important to improve the overall efficiency of systems with a source of power that has low-voltage high-current terminal characteristics such as fuel cells. A resonant converter is required for high efficiency systems. However, the peak value of the switches current is large in a resonant converter. This peak current requires a large number of switches and results in system failures. In this paper, an analysis and experiments of a resonant isolation push-pull converter are performed. A switching loss analysis is performed in order to compare losses between a resonant push pull converter and a hard switching push-pull converter. Specially, the conduction loss is studied based on the ratio between the resonant frequency and the switching frequency. In addition, a method for improving the efficiency is implemented with conventional HF insolation converters.
