This paper presents the design of 1 kW prototype high frequency link boost half bridge inverter-fed DC-DC power converters with bridge voltage-doublers suitable for small scale PEM fuel cell systems and associated control schemes. The operation principle of this converter is described using fuel cell modeling and some operating waveforms. The switching mode equivalent circuits are based on simulation results and a detailed circuit operation analysis at soft-switching conditions.

When compared to traditional bridge-type inverters, the dual-buck inverter has a higher reliability due to the fact that its bridge legs do not have a shoot-through problem. In this paper, the working principle of the dual-buck inverter is analyzed. A comparison of the working modes under full-cycle and half-cycle control is discussed. With half-cycle control, the inverter can realize a higher efficiency. However, this results in current zero-crossing distortion. The corresponding control strategy of the dual-buck inverter is proposed in order to realize both high efficiency and low current harmonic distortion. In addition, the system stability is analyzed. Dead-time is unnecessary due to the advantages of the topology. Thus, the current harmonic distortion can be further reduced. An inverter with the proposed control strategy has the advantages of high reliability, high efficiency and low current harmonic distortion. Finally, simulation and experimental results are given to verify the theoretical analysis.

기존의 경두개 자극장치는 일정한 자극치료 펄스의 정현파 모양으로 다양한 치료 및 진단을 하는데 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서, 치료 및 진단마다 요구되는 세기, 폭, 펄스모양이 다른 코로로프트-월톤회로와 반파브리지 공진 인버터를 도입하여 주파수와 전압이 가변되는 새로운 장치를 제안하고자 한다. 기존장치 보다 많은 장점을 가진다. 첫째로 고압 변압기를 가지지 않는다. 둘째로 스위칭손실이 적고, 출력에너지를 정밀하게 제어할 수가 있다. 세째로 자극의 세기, 폭, 펄스모양이 다양하다. 결과적으로 변압기를 사용하지 않는 반파브리지 인버터와 코크로프트-월톤회로를 적용하여 개선된 특성과 실험을 구하였다.

LCD displays for flat monitors the backlit using Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamps(CCFLs) In this paper a low-cost series resonant half-bridge inverter for LCD backlight is proposed as a CCFL ballast. It is regulated by asymmetric control for its fixed frequency soft switching model. The attractiveness of this topology is primarily its low cost because of using BJT switches and reduction of anti-parallel diode. Design procedure and experimental verification from 5W 15"LCD backlight are presented.

The new converter topology using half bridge inverter for the switched reluctance motor drives is proposed. The proposed SRM drives are supplied by the pulse voltage source, while the conventional drives are supplied by de voltage source. Proposed converter does not lose the characteristics of classic converter though the total no. of power switches are reduced.

A fault tolerant structure and its corresponding control strategy for electromagnetic stirring power supplies are proposed in this paper. The topology structure of the electromagnetic stirring power supply contains two-stages. The fore-stage is the PWM rectifier. The back-stage is the fault tolerant inverter, which is a two-phase three-bridge orthogonal inverter circuit while operating normally. When the power switch devices in the inverter are faulty, the structure of the inverter is reconfigured. The two-phase half bridge inverter circuit is constructed with the remaining power switch devices and DC-link capacitors to keep the system operating after cutting the faulty power switch devices from the system. The corresponding control strategy is proposed to let the system work under both normal and fault conditions. The reliability of the system is improved and the requirement of the electromagnetic stirring process is met. Finally, simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed fault tolerant structure and corresponding control strategy.

최근 들어, 저전압·대전류 출력 특성을 갖는 연료전지를 위한 새로운 발전시스템이 주목받고 있다. 연료전지 발전시스템에서는 dc-dc 승압용 컨버터와 dc-ac 인버터가 필요하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 연료전지 발전시스템을 위한 ZVS 동작을 가진 dc-dc 능동 클램프 전류형 하프 브리지 컨버터를 제안하였다. 제안된 컨버터는 일반적인 dc-dc 컨버터에 비해 높은 효율과 높은 소자 이용율을 가진다. 연료전지 발전시스템은 연료전지(PEMFC)의 낮은 전압(28∼43[Vdc])을 380[Vdc]로 승압하기 위한 능동 클램프 전류형 하프 브리지 컨버터로 구성하였다. 단상 풀 브리지 인버터는 220[Vac], 60[Hz] 교류 출력을 얻기 위해 적용하였다.

This paper presents novel circuit topology of half-bridge soft-switching PWM inverter type DC-DC high power converter for DC bus feeding power plants. The proposed DC-DC power converter is composed of a typical voltage source-fed, half-bridge high frequency PWM inverter with a high frequency planar transformer link PWM control scheme and parallel capacitive lossless snubbers. The operating principle of the new DC-DC converter treated here is described by using switching mode-equivalent circuits, together with its unique features. All the active power switches in the half-bridge arms and input DC bus lines can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutation transitions. The total turn-off switching losses of the power switches can be significantly reduced. As a result, high switching frequency IGBTs can actually be selected in the frequency range of 40[kHz] under the principle of soft-switching. The performance evaluations of the experimental setup are illustrated practically.

비상시 또는 화재발생시에 인명의 원활한 대피를 위한 피난유도설비는 매우 중요하다. 이중 유도등은 상시점등되어 있어야할 뿐만 아니라 비상전원이 필요하므로 경제적 손실이 커지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 태양전지, 쵸퍼, 인버터로 태양광발전시스템을 구성하여 태양광으로부터 발생되는 에너지를 축전지에 저장시킨 후, half-bridge 인버터를 이용하여 상용전원없이 유도등이 점등되도록 제어하였다. 그 결과 상용전원으로 유도등 점등시와 제안한 시스템에 의한 유도등 점등결과가 동일함을 입증하고 그 유용성을 확인하였다.
