A study on an integrated single stage AC/DC converter is presented in this paper. The input current can be controlled by the auxiliary winding($L_{aux}$), auxiliary primary winding($N_3$), and the boost inductor($L_B$) which are designed to operate in discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) to reduced the total harmonic distortion(THD) of input current. The auxiliary primary winding($N_3$) is critically selected in order to compress the input capacitor voltage($V_{in}$) as well as to reduce the current stress of the switch(Q). Low total harmonic distortion(THD), low input voltage($V_{in}$) in universal input voltage($V_{AC}$), low current stress at the switching device and high efficiency are the main consideration keys in this design to achieve high performance system with low cost of single stage AC/DC converter. A 30W single stage AC/DC prototype converter is under study.

Due to the increasing amount of applications of power electronic ac-dc converters, it is necessary to design a single-stage converter that can reliably perform both buck and boost operations. Traditionally, this can be achieved by double-stage conversion (ac/dc-dc/dc) which ultimately leads to less efficiency and a more complex control system. This paper discusses two types of modern ac-dc converters. First, the novel impedance-source ac-dc converter, abbreviated as custom Z-source rectifier, is analyzed; and then, switched inductor (SL) Z-source ac-dc converter is proposed. This paper describes the Z-source rectifiers' operating principles, the concepts behind them, and their superiorities. Analysis and simulation results show that the proposed custom Z-source rectifier can step up and step down voltage; and the main advantage of the SL Z-source ac-dc converter is its high step-up capability. Low ripple of the output dc voltage is the other advantage of the proposed converters. Finally, the SL Z-source ac-dc converter is compared with the custom Z-source ac-dc converter.

This paper proposes a new multi-output LLC resonant converter by using single control IC, which has the tight-regulated dual output voltage without additional power devices and controller. The proposed converter has master and slave outputs, of which regulations are achieved by the PWM(pulse width modulation) and PFM(pulse frequency modulation), respectively. Different from the conventional dual-output LLC resonant converter, the proposed converter has no additional post-regulators like a boost converter. Therefore, it features a low cost, small size, and high efficiency. To confirm the validity and prove the superiority of proposed converter, simulated and experimental results on a 50" FHD PDP power set prototype are presented.

Generally in solar air conditioning system, the diode rectifier is used to build up DC link voltage from AC source. The diode rectifier is simple and cheap but it brings out the problems of low power factor and plentiful harmonics at the AC source. Also It can degrade the utilization rate of solar energy because the reverse of power flow cannot be made. Hence, in this paper to overcome the peak power problems in summer and to endure good AC input characteristics, solar air conditioning system using the PWM converter is proposed. A high input power factor of 97[%] and an efficiency of 98[%] are also obtained. The harmonic guide lines of proposed rectifier is no interfered with inverter switching, resulting in a simple, reliable and low cost ac to dc converters in comparison with the boost type current improving circuits.

A concern about micro grid connection system is elevated. The reason is that carbon dioxide emission is regionally restricted to prevent the drain of fossil fuel, high oil prices and global warming. The existing photovoltaic DC-DC converter is operated by the full-bridge method. However, the configuration is complicated because a phase shift method is required to raise an efficiency. A photovoltaic DC-DC converter connected with second layered half-bridge converter and boost converter is proposed in this paper. This proposed DC-DC converter is easy to control and has an advantage of reducing the size. Finally, the validity of the proposed converter is verified by the experimentation.

This paper describes the development of a 500W DC/DC converter for use with a thermoelectric module(TEM). A thermoelectric device is a structure in which a P-type semiconductor and an N-type semiconductor are electrically connected in series and thermally connected in parallel. There is a feature that an electromotive force is generated by making a temperature difference between both surfaces of a thermoelectric element. This feature can be used as a renewable power source without the need for fossil energy. The proposed converter boosts the low generation voltage of the thermoelectric element to secure the voltage for the grid connection. This converter is a combination of a resonant converter for boosting and a boost-converter for output voltage control. This structure has an advantage that a voltage can be stepped up at a high efficiency and precise output voltage control is possible. We carry out simulations and experiments to verify the validity.
