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.

In order to match the voltages between high voltage battery stacks and low voltage super-capacitors with a high conversion efficiency in hybrid energy sources electric vehicles (HESEVs), a high ratio bidirectional DC-DC converter with a synchronous rectification H-Bridge is proposed in this paper. The principles of high ratio step-down and step-up operations are analyzed. In terms of the bidirectional characteristic of the H-Bridge, the bidirectional synchronous rectification (SR) operation is presented without any extra hardware. Then the SR power switches can achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) turn-on and turn-off during dead time, and the power conversion efficiency is improved compared to that of the diode rectification (DR) operation, as well as the utilization of power switches. Experimental results show that the proposed converter can operate bidirectionally in the wide ratio range of 3~10, when the low voltage continuously varies between 15V and 50V. The maximum efficiencies are 94.1% in the Buck mode, and 93.6% in the Boost mode. In addition, the corresponding largest efficiency variations between SR and DR operations are 4.8% and 3.4%. This converter is suitable for use as a power interface between the battery stacks and super-capacitors in HESEVs.

본 논문에서는 진동에너지 수확을 위한 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어 CMOS 인터페이스 회로를 설계하였다. 제안된 회로는 AC-DC 변환기, MPPT 제어회로, DC-DC 부스트 변환기, 그리고 PMU(Power Management Unit)로 구성된다. AC-DC 변환기는 진동소자(PZT)에서 출력되는 AC 신호를 DC 신호로 변환해주는 역할을 하며, MPPT 제어회로는 진동소자로부터 최대전력을 수확하여 효율을 높이는 역할을 한다. DC-DC 부스트 변환기는 AC-DC 변환기에서 공급된 에너지를 원하는 값으로 승압 및 안정화 시키는 역할을 하며 PMU를 통해 부하로 에너지를 전달한다. AC-DC 변환기는 효율 특성이 좋은 능동 다이오드를 이용한 전파정류기를 사용하였으며, DC-DC 부스트 변환기는 제어 회로가 간단한 쇼트키 다이오드를 사용한 구조를 사용하였다. 제안된 회로는 0.35um CMOS 공정으로 설계되었으며, 설계된 칩의 면적은 $950um{\times}920um$이다.

This paper suggested a fuel cell generation system which combined interleaved full-bridge converter with half-bridge inverter. High ratio step-up converter is essential to use the power as general voltage source. Full-bridge converter has high efficiency and can boost the input voltage to high output with transformer. With series connected capacitors, interleaved full-bridge converter and half-bridge inverter are combined. Half-bridge inverter has two fewer switches compared to full-bridge type. Also, switching loss can be reduced. The performance is verified through simulation with 1.5[kW] fuel cell generation system.

본 연구에서는 2개의 인덕터를 이용한 인터리브 AC/DC 승압형 컨버터의 듀티 사이클이 0.5 이상일 때 배압 회로 특징을 나타내었다. 일반적으로 AC/DC 승압형 컨버터는 낮은 입력전압(입력 AC 110[V])이 높은 입력전압(입력 AC 220[V])에 비하여 낮은 효율을 갖는다. 제안된 인터리브 AC/DC 승압형 컨버터는 낮은 입력전압에서 배압 회로로 동작함으로 인하여 낮은 입력전압을 사용하는 기존의 컨버터와 비교하여 높은 역률과 향상된 효율을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 배압 회로 동작하는 하는 인터리브 AC/DC 승압형 컨버터를 제안하고, 모드별 해석과 특성을 논의하였으며, 300[W]급 시작품을 제작하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents a novel soft-switching PWM utility frequency AC to high frequency AC power conversion circuit Incorporating boost-half-bridge inverter topology, which is more suitable and acceptable for cost effective consumer induction heating applications. The operating principle and the operation modes are presented using the switching mode and the operating voltage and current waveforms. The performances of this high-frequency inverter using the latest IGBTs are illustrated, which includes high frequency power regulation and actual efficiency characteristics based on zero voltage soft switching (ZVS) operation ranges and the power dissipation as compared with those of the previously developed high-frequency inverter. In addition, a dual mode control scheme of this high frequency inverter based on asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse density modulation (PDM) control scheme is discussed in this paper in order to extend the soft switching operation ranges and to improve the power conversion efficiency at the low power settings. The power converter practical effectiveness is substantially proved based on experimental results from practical design example.

본 연구에서는 기존의 정류회로가 포함하고 있는 고조파 발생과 역률저하문제를 개선하기 위한 방안으로 BPFC(Boost Power Factor Collection)방식을 사용하였다. 이 BPFC는 고역률올 구현하기 위해 가장 널리 쓰이는 방식중의 하나로서 입력전압과 거의 동둥한 지속적인 인덕터 전류를 정현파에 가까운 형태로 제어할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 BPFC는 제어방식에 의해 크게 달라질 수 었다. 본 논문에서는 순간모드선택 피크 전류제어방식과 PWM 평균전류 재어방식을 이용한 고역률 저고조파를 갖는 정류회로를 구성하여 각각에 대하여 비교분석하였다.

A highly efficient AC-DC converter for small wind power generation systems using a brushless DC generator (BLDCG) is presented in this paper. The market standard AC-DC converter for a BLDCG consists of a three-phase diode rectifier and a boost DC-DC converter, which has an IGBT and a fast recovery diode (FRD). This kind of two-stage solution basically suffers from a large amount of conduction loss and the efficiency greatly decreases under a light load, or at a low current, because of the switching devices with a P-N junction. In order to overcome this low efficiency, especially at a low current, a three-phase bridgcless converter consisting of three upper side FRDs and three lower side Super Junction FETs is presented. In the overall operating speed region, including the cut-in speed, the efficiency of the proposed converter is improved by up to 99%. Such a remarkable result is validated and compared with conventional solutions by calculating the power loss based on I-V curves and the switching loss data of the adopted commercial switches and the current waveforms obtained through PSIM simulations.

본 논문에서는 더 높은 에너지 효율을 요구하는 전자 기기들의 사용에 따른 고전력 밀도 AC/DC 어댑터의 구조를 제안한다. PFC (Power Factor Corrector) topology는 BCM (Boundary Conduction Mode)제어 방식을 적용한 Boost topology를 기본으로 하였으며, DC/DC topology는 주파수제어를 적용한 LLC 공진 컨버터를기본으로 하였다. 이는 반도체 소자 및 마그네틱 소자의 크기를 줄이는데 용이하다. 85W급 AC/DC adapter (18.5V/4.6A)를 설계하여 실험한 결과 $90V_{rms}$의 입력전압에서 90%의 효율과 $36W/in^3$의 전력밀도가 측정되었고 무부하시 전력 손실은 0.5W를 달성하였다.

This paper addresses several issues concerning the analysis, design, modeling, simulation and development of single-phase, single-switch, power factor corrected AC-DC high frequency switching converter topologies with transformer isolation. A detailed analysis and design is presented for single-switch topologies, namely forward buck, flyback, Cuk, Sepic and Zeta buck-boost converters, with high frequency isolation for discontinuous conduction modes (DCM) of operation. With an awareness of modem design trends towards improved performance, these switching converters are designed for low power rating and low output voltage, typically 20.25W with 13.5V in DCM operation. Laboratory prototypes of the proposed single-switch converters in DCM operation are developed and test results are presented to validate the proposed design and developed model of the system.
