In this paper, we designed high performance, high quality and high density switch mode power supply for precision electronics, and communication equipments. For this, we used two parallel DC-DC converters, which have opposite phases, to support proper high performance and high quality power. To reduce switching losses and make high switching frequency, active-clamp and ZVS technique were employed in each converter.

A light-emitting diode (LED) has been increasingly applied to various industrial fields and general lightings because of its high efficiency, low power consumption, environment-friendly characteristic and long lifetime. To drive the LED lighting, a power converter with the constant output current is needed. Among many power converters, the flyback converter is chosen by many converter designers due to high power density, structural simplicity, and miniaturization. In this converter, an electrolytic capacitor is generally chosen for the stabilization of the DC voltage because of having the large capacitance and the low price. However, the disadvantages are the short expected life time and 120Hz ripple currents on the converter output node. In this paper, a single-stage dimmable PFC DCM flyback converter without the electrolytic capacitor is proposed to prolong the lifetime of the LED driver. For the long lifetime of the converter, the polyester film capacitor with the small capacitance is substituted for the electrolytic capacitor on the output node and an LC resonant filter is added to damp 120Hz ripple current. The proposed converter is verified through the simulation and the experimental works.

This paper presents a novel analysis, design, and implementation of a battery charging three-phase high frequency semi-controlled power converter feasible for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The main advantages of the proposed topology include high efficiency; due to lower power losses and reduced number of switching elements, high output power density realization, and reduced passive component ratings proportionally to the frequency. Additional advantages also include grid economic utilization by insuring unity power factor operation under different possible conditions and robustness since short-circuit through a leg is not possible. A high but acceptable total harmonic distortion of the generator currents is introduced in the proposed topology which can be viewed as a minor disadvantage when compared to traditional boost rectifiers. A hysteresis control algorithm is proposed to achieve lower current harmonic distortion for the rectifier operation. The rectifier topology concept, the principle of operation, and control scheme are presented. Additionally, a dc-dc converter is also employed in the rectifier-battery connection. Test results on 50-kHz power converter system are presented and discussed to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed topology for PHEV applications.

Studying for environmental friendly and efficient energy source is now actively under way on because problems like environmental pollution and exhaust of natural resources are in issue. Fuel Cell which is an alternative energy source has low voltage and high current characteristic, therefore boost up voltage converter and DC-AC converter is required to use as a common power source. In this paper, DC-DC converter which has high efficient and high power density is proposed and verified by experimental result.

수 백 Watt 급의 통신용 장비 등에 적합하도록 고안된, 직렬 연결된 두 개의 트랜스포머를 갖는 새로운 위상천이 풀 브릿지 컨버터를 제시한다. 제안된 회로의 장점은 넓은 입력 범위를 가지며, 경부하에서도 스위치의 영전압 조건을 보다 쉽게 만족시킬 수 있다는 점, 그리고 작은 출력 변동율을 갖는다는 점 등이다. 뿐만 아니라, 직렬로 연결된 두 개의 트랜스포머가 번갈아 가면서 주 트랜스포머로서의 역할과 출력 인덕터로서의 역할을 함께 수행하므로, 출력측에서는 인덕터없이 필터링이 가능하게 되고, 따라서 고전력밀도의 컨버터를 제작할 수 있게 된다. 모드 해석과 대신호 모델링을 통한 설계식의 유도, 그리고 실험 결과를 보여줌으로써 제안된 컨버터를 검증한다.

A new single stage power factor correction(PFC) AC/DC converter based on zero voltage switching(ZVS) full bridge topology is proposed. Since the series-connected two transformers act as both output inductor and main transformer by turns, the proposed converter has a wide ZVS range without additional devices for ZVS. Furthermore, since there is no need to use an output inductor, the proposed converter features high power density. The proposed converter gives the good power factor correction and low line current harmonics distortion. A mode analysis and experiment results are presented to verify the validity of the proposed converter.

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.

A dual-input boost-buck converter with coupled inductors (DIBBC-CI) is proposed as a thermoelectric generator (TEG) power conditioner with a wide input voltage range. The DIBBC-CI is built by cascading two boost cells and a buck cell with shared inverse coupled filter inductors. Low current ripple on both sides of the TEG and the battery are achieved. Reduced size and power losses of the filter inductors are benefited from the DC magnetic flux cancellation in the inductor core, leading to high efficiency and high power density. The operational principle, impact of coupled inductors, and design considerations for the proposed converter are analyzed in detail. Distributed maximum power point tracking, battery charging, and output control are implemented using a competitive logic to ensure seamless switching among operational modes. Both the simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed topology and control.
