In this paper, a DCM operated boost integrated single-stage forward-flyback converter is proposed. This proposed converter has high power factor, low harmonic distortion, and tight output regulation. To increase efficiency, zero voltage switching with asymmetrical control is used. This converter also give low voltage stress in switch and this results in low conduction loss with low turn-on resistance.

The superiority of gallium nitride FET (GaN FET) over silicon MOSFET is examined in this paper. One of the outstanding features of GaN FET is low reverse-recovery charge, which enables continuous conduction mode operation of totem-pole bridgeless boost power factor correction (PFC) circuit. Among many bridgeless topologies, totem-pole bridgeless shows high efficiency and low conducted electromagnetic interference performance, with low cost and simple control scheme. The operation principle, control scheme, and circuit implementation of the proposed topology are provided. The converter is driven in two-module interleaved topology to operate at a power level of 5.5 kW, whereas phase-shedding control is adopted for light load efficiency improvement. Negative bias circuit is used in gate drivers to avoid the shoot-through induced by high speed switching. The superiority of GaN FET is verified by constructing a 5.5 kW prototype of two-module interleaved totem-pole bridgeless boost PFC converter. The experiment results show the highest efficiency of 98.7% at 1.6 kW load and an efficiency of 97.7% at the rated load.

To achieve high efficiency and reliability, multiphase interleaved converters with coupled inductors have been widely applied. In this paper, a coupled inductor design method for 2-phase interleaved boost converters is presented. A new area product equation is derived to select the proper core size. The wire size, number of turns and air gap length are also determined by using the proposed coupled inductor design method. Finally, the validity of the proposed coupled inductor design method is confirmed by simulation and experimental results obtained from a design example.

본 논문에서는 진동에너지 수확을 위한 CMOS 인터페이스 회로를 설계하였다. 제안된 회로는 AC-DC 변환기와 DC-DC 부스트 변환기로 구성된다. AC-DC 변환기는 진동소자(PZT)에서 출력되는 AC 신호를 DC 신호로 변환해주는 역할을 하며, DC-DC 부스트 변환기는 AC-DC 변환기에서 출력된 신호를 원하는 값으로 승압 및 안정화 시키는 역할을 한다. AC-DC 변환기는 효율 특성이 좋은 능동 다이오드를 이용한 전파정류기를 사용하였으며, DC-DC 부스트 변환기는 제어 회로가 간단한 쇼트키 다이오드를 사용한 구조를 이용하였다. 또한 진동소자로부터 최대전력을 수확하기 위한 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 기능을 적용하였다. 제안된 회로는 0.35um CMOS 공정으로 설계되었으며, 설계된 칩의 면적은 $530um{\times}325um$이다. 설계된 회로의 성능을 검증한 결과 AC-DC 변환기와 DC-DC 부스트 변환기의 최대 효율은 각각 97.7%와 89.2%이며, 전체회로의 최대 효율은 87.2%이다.

This paper presents a design of a 30kW 250V/530V bidirectional DC-DC converter to be used in an electrical car. A detailed explanation of the design is given. The system uses two phase shifted half bridge (boost and buck) topologies to reduce the ripple current in the output capacitor. The converter has an efficiency of 95% at nominal power. It works as a constant voltage in one direction and as a constant current in the other to charge the batteries. Simulations and measurement are done at high power to test the efficiency.

This paper propose the high power factor and efficiency buck-boost AC-DC converter because the input current is made sinusoidal wave in single phase alternating current source. The proposed converter is able to minimize switching loss by the partial resonant switching which is for switching devices to operate the zero voltage switching (ZVS) or zero current switching(ZCS) without increasing their voltage and current stresses.

본 논문에서는 소프트 스위칭에 의한 새로운 고효율의 벅-부스트 DC-DC 컨버터에 대해 연구된다. 제안된 벅-부스트 컨버터는 기존의 벅-부스트 DC-DC 컨버터에서 문제가 되는 제어용 스위치의 스위칭 손실증대를 해결하기 위해 새로운 소프트 스위칭 기법이 적용된다. 소프트 스위칭 회로는 구조적으로 기존의 컨버터에 사용되는 벅-부스트용 인덕터와 스너버 회로를 변형 설계한 구조로써 회로구성이 간단하다. 제안된 컨버터에 사용된 제어스위치들은 부분공진의 동작에 의해 소프트 스위칭을 이룬다. 또한 컨버터의 출력전압은 제어스위치의 PWM 제어에 의해 조정되고 벅-부스트용 인덕터에 흐르는 전류는 불연속모드로 제어되어 제어회로와 제어기법이 간단한 장점이 주어진다. 제안된 벅-부스트 컨버터는 기존의 벅-부스트 컨버터와 비교되어 해석되고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 그 해석적 타당성이 입증된다.

This work aims to study and analyze the various operating modes of universal power converter which is powered by solar and thermoelectric generators. The proposed converter is operated in a DC-DC (buck or boost mode) and DC-AC (single phase) inverter with high efficiency. DC power sources, such as solar photovoltaic (SPV) panels, thermoelectric generators (TEGs), and Li-ion battery, are selected as input to the proposed converter according to the nominal output voltage available/generated by these sources. The mode of selection and output power regulation are achieved via control of the metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) switches in the converter through the modified stepped perturb and observe (MSPO) algorithm. The MSPO duty cycle control algorithm effectively converts the unregulated DC power from the SPV/TEG into regulated DC for storing energy in a Li-ion battery or directly driving a DC load. In this work, the proposed power sources and converter are mathematically modelled using the Scilab-Xcos Simulink tool. The hardware prototype is designed for 200 W rating with a dsPIC30F4011 digital controller. The various output parameters, such as voltage ripple, current ripple, switching losses, and converter efficiency, are analyzed, and the proposed converter with a control circuit operates the converter closely at 97% efficiency.

This paper presents a pulse-width adjustment (PWA) strategy for a novel bidirectional DC-DC boost converter to improve the performance of the dynamic inductor current response. This novel converter consists of three main components: a full-bridge converter (FBC), a high-frequency isolated transformer with large leakage inductance, and a three-level voltage-doubler rectifier (VDR). A number of scholars have analyzed the principles, such as the soft-switching performance and high-efficiency characteristic, of this converter based on pulse-width modulation plus phase-shift (PPS) control. It turns out that this converter is suitable for energy storage applications and exhibits good performance. However, the dynamic inductor current response processes of control variable adjustment is not analyzed in this converter. In fact, dc component may occur in the inductor current during its dynamic response process, which can influence the stability and reliability of the converter system. The dynamic responses under different operating modes of a conventional feedforward control are discussed in this paper. And a PWA strategy is proposed to enhance the dynamic inductor current response performance of the converter. This paper gives a detailed design and implementation of the PWA strategy. The proposed strategy is verified through a series of simulation and experimental results.

An asymmetric half-bridge is one of the most promising topology in low-power application because of its small number of components and inherent zero-voltage switching capability. However, when it is designed taking into a hold-up time, it has large transformer offset current and small transformer turns-ratio, which severely decreases the total efficiency of s converter. In this paper, a new boost-integrated asymmetric half-bridge converter is proposed to solve these problems. The integrated boost converter compensates the hold-up time, thus facilitating optimal design in nominal state. As a result, the proposed converter can achieve high efficiency in nominal state. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter, an experiment is conducted using a 250-400 V input and 45 V/3.3 A output prototype.
