Higher frequency of energy transfer or at least energy conversion has to be used in order to reduce the size of inductors and capacitors required in the power supplies. Conventional PWM switching-mode power supplies have a limitation of operating frequency due to switching losses in the switching transistors and rectifier diodes. Means of reducing switching losses have been developed for high-frequency resonant amplifiers or more exactly dc/ac inverters. Because of smooth current and voltage waveforms resonant convertesrs havelower device switching losses and stresses lower electromagnetic interference(EMI) and lower noise than PWM converters. Therefore in this paper design equations of Classs E resonant low dv/dt rectifier with a series resonant capacitor drived using Fourier series techniques. The theory is compared with simulation results obtained for the rectifier operating at 10[MHz] ac input and 5[V] coutput.

This paper introduces a method to reduce the reactive power required by electronic converters. The instantaeous reactive power is calculated and compensated by the current controlled PWH voltage source converter connected parallel between the power lines and the converter. A high performance current control technique which is based on the current deviation vector is used for the PWM converter as compensator of reactive power. Accurate compensation of the reactive power and t control system ensuring fast response to the sudden change of loaf are attained. The converter structure and control scheme are discussed. Simulation of the system is performed.

The proposed dual-output DC-DC converter that bases on flyback converter can obtain two output voltage with non-isolated main-output and isolated sub-output at the same time using single-winding high frequency transformer. It can solve problems in multi-winding converter that use one main-switch, and also control quality of isolated sub-output voltage can be improved by additional sub-switch to the second. For analysis and design of the proposed converter system, converters are classified as operation mode from switching state and are become modeling by applying state space averaging method. Steady-state characteristics and dynamic characteristics are analyzed by DC component and perturbation component from state space averaging model. From experiment converter, validity of analysis and design for the propose converter system is confirm.

Three phase Boost/Buck converter which have economical merits and simple control scheme, are analyzed and evaluated through comparative methods and digital simulation for equivalent load. Those play a part of voltage boost/buck as well as power factor correction with single switch. Controller operating in constant and variable frequency is used for rapid output response and stable system condition respectively. Moreover low THD property of single switched converters is available for inverter arc welding machine known as high power and low power factor. So, in this paper a comparison of the characteristics in boost and buck converter is described and then simulation results conforms the merits from point of view of power factor and voltage regulator.

If DC voltage adjustment can be controlled very easily, it is much more effective rather than AC in transmission efficiency. The main reason why DC is more effective than AC, DC has the same role as the 70[%] of AC whenever the same power send. In addition, AC streams the surface of electrical wire, but DC streams overall of electrical wire. Digital load, which is operated by DC, has increased in modern times. The step of convert of AC-DC has to be reduced. When we turn the dispersed AC-DC converters into the concentrated AC-DC converter, it can improve the effective of the whole system. Further more, if digital society develops more than now and the time of electric vehicle comes, the need of DC will increase much more than these days. This paper suggests that DC output of distributed power source and high efficient 3 phase PWM converter can control the adjustment of output voltage, harmonic restraint, power factor improvement and dump power.

In this paper, a novel multiple output converter using quasi load is proposed. Conventional multiple output converters using multi-winding transformer has poor output voltage regulations. To solve this problem, there are many proposals like post regulation method, weighted control method, and etc. However, the post regulation method regulates output voltage tightly but its conduction loss and cost are increased. And the weighted control can achieve high efficiency and low cost but its regulation is not enough. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a novel multiple output converter using quasi load. The proposed method uses a quasi load which acts like an active dummy load for tight regulation but there is rarely increase of loss and cost. The proposed method is verified by hardware test by two output(24V and 15V) flyback type converter.

Among various Power converters, a variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) three-phase PWM inverter is regarded as most promising power converter due to its capabilities, which permits the control of voltage, frequency and harmonic contents in a single power stage employing only on DC source. As a modulating technique of the PWM inverter, the regular sampling technique has rendered possible the on-line computation and generation of PWM control waveforms with a reasonably high switching frequencies. In this paper, microprocessor based three-phase regular samping PWM inverter with real-time control algorithm and control circuits for driving three phase AC motor has been developed. Harmocic components of PWM waveform were analized theoretically in terms of Bessel function series and then calculated by digital computer and observed with spectrum analyzer.

This paper presents a new PWM DC/DC converter with dual output power using single power stage, which has the isolation characteristics between each dual output. The proposed converter topology consists of two switches ($S_B$ and $S_F$) and only single secondary winding. Therefore, the proposed converter has better advantages of not only low cost and small size but also high power density because of using minimum components and devices compared with conventional methods which use multi winding transformers or several converters. The operating principle of the proposed converter topology, which includes the conventional auxiliary ZVT (Zero-Voltage-Transition) circuit to implement soft switching of the main switch, is illustrated in detail and the validity of the proposed converter is verified through several simulated and experimental results.

In this study, a high-efficiency flyback converter that uses a soft-switching auxiliary circuit is proposed. The structure of the proposed converter adds an inductor, switch, diode, and capacitor to the conventional flyback converter. The switch in the auxiliary circuit and the main switch are turned on and off under soft-switching conditions. Therefore, the switching losses of the proposed flyback converter are considerably smaller than those of conventional flyback converters. The performance of the proposed flyback converter is validated by experiments on a 100 W single-output flyback converter prototype, and design guidelines are presented.

Power Transformers with more than one secondary winding are not uncommon in industrial applications. But new classes of applications where very large number of independent secondaries are used are becoming popular in controlled converters for medium and high voltage applications. Cascade H-bridge medium voltage drives and Pulse Step Modulation (PSM) based high voltage power supplies are such applications. Regulated high voltage power supplies (Fig. 1) with 35-100 kV, 5-10 MW output range with very fast dynamics (${\mu}S$ order) uses such transformers. Such power supplies are widely used in fusion research. Here series connection of isolated voltage sources with conventional switching semiconductor devices is achieved by large number of separate transformers or by single unit of multi-secondary transformer. Naturally, a transformer having numbers of secondary windings (~40) on single core is the preferred solution due to space and cost considerations. For design and simulation analysis of such a power supply, the model of a multi-secondary transformer poses special problem to any circuit analysis software as many simulation softwares provide transformer models with limited number (3-6) of secondary windings. Multi-Secondary transformer models with 3 different schemes are available. A comparison of test results from a practical Multi-secondary transformer with a simulation model using magnetic component is found to describe the behavior closer to observed test results. Earlier models assumed magnetising inductance in a linear loss less core model although in actual it is saturable core made-up of CRGO steel laminations. This article discusses a more detailed representation of flux coupled magnetic model with saturable core properties to simulate actual transformers very close to its observed parameters in test and actual usage.
