Power losses of a 1-stage DC-DC converter and 2-stage DC-DC converter are compared in this paper. A phase-shift full-bridge DC-DC converter is considered as 1-stage topology. This topology has disadvantages in the stress of rectifier diodes because of the resonance between the leakage inductor of the transformer and the junction capacitor of the rectifier diode. 2-stage topology is composed of an LLC resonant full-bridge DC-DC converter and buck converter. The LLC resonant full-bridge DC-DC converter does not need an RC snubber circuit of the rectifier diode. However, there is the drawback that the switching loss of the buck converter is large due to the hard switching operation. To reduce the switching loss of the buck converter, SiC MOSFET is used. This paper analyzes and compares power losses of two topologies considering temperature condition. The validity of the power loss analysis and calculation is verified by a PSIM simulation model.

This paper proposes a constant frequency controlled zero voltage switching method that can reduce switching losses caused by emf on inductance in DC motor. The zero voltage switching method is used more than a zero current switching method because of reducing switching losses by capacitance of depletion region of MOSFET. To simplify the controller circuit, we propose constant frequency controlled zero voltage switching method in the paper. The control method is more stable than a variable frequency control method because it can optimize bandwidth of a closed-loop and reactances. Therefore, we construct a constant frequency controlled zero voltage switching converter and improve zero switching losses in high switching frequency. In the process, we can control low-losses in full range on variable voltage and load. We simulate the proposed converter with P-SPICE and compare results obtained through the experiment.

The conventional electro-mechanical circuit break and relay are widely used in large-sized DC power system. However, recently due to high reliability, remote controllability and small power dissipation of a RSSPC(Remote Solid State Power Controller), high-friendly DC power systems have increasingly adopted the RSSPC as a essential element. In this paper, we have conducted a mathematical modeling to analyze the performance of the proposed RSSPC system with the optimal signal range for $I^2t$. Based on the calculation, the RSSPC system has been implemented by DSP.

기존의 초음파 노즐은 단판액츄에이터형 초음파 노즐을 사용하여 연체 연료를 분사하였다. 하지만 단판액추에이터형 초음파 노즐은 300V이상의 고전압을 필요로 하여 소비전력이 높은 단점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 적층액츄에이터형 초음파 노즐은 저전압 구동이 가능하여 낮은 소비전력을 가지며, 단판액츄에이터헝 초음파 노즐보다 우수한 분사특성을 가지고 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 공진형 인버터를 사용하여 초음파 노즐을 구동하는 경우 노즐의 구동 전압을 공진에 의하여 쉽게 얻어질 수 있는 장점과 구동 스위치에 가해지는 전압의 크기가 상대적으로 작게되므로 인버터 구동에 저전압 MOSFET를 사용함으로써 도통손실의 저감 및 구성회로의 저압화 등에 유리한 이점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 적층액츄에이터형 초음파노즐을 개발하고 그에 따른 공진형 인버터를 설계하여 적층엑츄에이터형 초음파 노즐의 분사 시스템을 제안 한다. 또한 실제 액체연료인 경유를 분사하여 전기적특성과 분사특성을 조사한다.

The high efficiency multi-resonant converter(MRC) is capable of operating at a high frequency because the losses are decreased due to the resonant tank circuit. Such a few MHz high frequency applications provide high power density[W/inch3] of the converter. However, the resonant voltage stress across the switch of the resonant tank circuit is 4∼5 times input voltage. This high voltage stress increases the conduction losses because of on-resistance of a MOSFET with higher rating. In this paper, the modeling analysis for the AT Forward MRC suggested to solve the these problems is discusses. The operational modes of the AT Forward MRC are divided to 8 equivalent modes according to the two switching sequences. Each mode analysis is covered using the equivalent circuits modeled over all of the paper. The operational principle of the resonant converter was verified through the experimental converter with 48[V] input voltage, 5[V]/50[W] output voltage/power and PSpice simulation. The measured maximum voltage, 5[V]/50[W] output voltage/power and PSpice simulation. The measure maximum voltage stress is 170[V] of 2.9 times the input voltage and the maximum efficiency is measured to 81.66%.

This paper presents an open-fault tolerance control method for active neutral point clamped (ANPC) inverter with high frequency/low frequency (HF/LF) modulation. By applying the ANPC inverter with SiC MOSFETs and Si IGBTs, the system efficiency and performance can be improved compared to a Si-based inverter. HF/LF modulation is used for a megawatt-scale inverter to minimize the commutation loop. The open-switch failure in megawatt-scale inverter causes severe damage to load and huge expenses when the inverter has been shut-down. The proposed tolerance control of open-switch failure provides continuous operation and improved reliability to the ANPC inverter. The effectiveness of the proposed fault tolerance control is verified by simulation results.
