Active clamp forward converter provides zero voltage switching, low voltage stress and wide input voltage range. The design technique leads to getting a higher efficiency under high switching frequency and optimal operating range. It is designed for notebook computer adapter with free input voltage and 19.5V/120W output ratings. The efficiency is measured to more than 90%. One of the most important circuit parts is the filter inductor besides the transformer in active clamp forward converter. In this paper, the process of inductor design is listed optimally.

A grid-connected inverter used for renewable energy resources produces harmonic components in the switching frequency. To effectively reduce switching harmonic components, several types of filter are generally used in the output stage of the grid-connected inverter. Many research works on LCL filter design have been done to maintain the performance with low cost. However, it is not easy to make the filter design be economical and optimal due to the varying characteristic of magnetic core and redundancy design by experience. In this paper, a design method for a LCL filter is presented through the inductor optimization scheme in view of the size and cost when the inductor is manufactured using the magnetic core. The effectiveness is verified through tests using a 3kW grid-connected inverter by simulations and experiments.

A single-phase tapped-inductor boost converter has been proposed previously. However, detailed characterization and performance analysis were not conducted. This paper presents a detailed characterization, performance analysis, and design expressions of a single-phase tapped-coupled-inductor boost converter. Expressions are derived for average and RMS input current as well as for RMS input and output capacitor current ripple. A systematic approach for sizing the tapped-coupled inductor, active switch, and output diode is presented; such approach has not been reported in related literature. This study reveals that sizing of the inductor has to be based on current ripple requirement, turns ratio, and load. Conditions that produce discontinuous inductor current are also discussed. Analysis of a non-ideal converter operating in continuous conduction mode is also conducted. The expression for the voltage ratio considering the coupling coefficient is derived. The suitability of the converter for high-voltage step-up applications is evaluated. Factors that affect the voltage boost ratio are also identified. The effects of duty ratio and load variation on the performance of the converter are also investigated. The theoretically derived characteristics are validated through simulations. Experimental results obtained at a low power level are included to validate the analytical and simulation results. A good agreement is observed among the analytical, simulation, and experimental results.

In this paper, High Q Inductor using negative resistance circuit and the ceramic inductor was designed and fabricated at 2GHz. It was Improved the inductor of Q=90 using a inductor with Q=30 added to negative resistance circuit at 2GHz. As a result, at the bias condition of 3V and 16mA, the output power and phase noise in the operation frequency 2.01GHz are 5dBm and -115.34dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset from carrier, respectively. Phase noise was improved -10dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset compared to only using ceremic inductor.

This study proposes a coupled inductor method for the parallel operation of a power conditioning system (PCS). When primary and secondary currents flow in the same direction in a coupled inductor, total flux and inductance are cancelled; when currents flow in opposite directions, each flux becomes an individual inductor. These characteristics are applied in the parallel operation of a PCS. To connect at a grid code, abnormal current, which is barred under the grid connection code, is blocked by using a coupled inductor. A design based on the capacity and current duration time of a PCS is verified through hardware implementation. Experiment results show the effectiveness of variance reduction.

This paper investigates the design of multi-winding coupled inductor for minimum inductor current ripple in rapid traction battery charger systems. Based on the general circuit model of multi-winding coupled inductor together with the operating principles of dc-dc converter, the relationship between the ripple size of inductor current and the coupling factor is derived under the different duty ratio. The optimal coupling factor which corresponds to a minimum inductor ripple current becomes -(1/n-1), i.e. a complete inverse coupling without leakage inductance, as the steady-state duty ratio operating point approaches 1/n, 2/n, … or (n1)/n. In an opposite manner, the optimal coupling factor value of zero, i.e. zero mutual inductance, is required when the steady-state duty ratio operating point approaches either zero or one.
