본 논문에서는 다중 입력 에너지 하베스팅 시스템을 위한 저전력 벅-부스트 변환기를 설계하였다. 설계된 회로는 3개의 입력 채널로부터 수확되는 에너지를 실시간 병합한 후, 저장 커패시터에 저장하는 역할을 한다. 하나의 외부 인덕터를 사용하고 Arbiter를 이용한 시간분할 기법을 적용하여 벅-부스트 변환기의 구조를 간략히 하였다. 또한 시스템의 효율을 향상시키기 위해 변환기의 컨트롤러 회로들은 전류소모가 최소화 되도록 설계하였다. 제안된 회로는 $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 설계하였다. 모의실험 결과 설계된 회로는 3개의 입력 채널이 모두 활성화 되었을 때 최대 490nA의 전류를 소모하며, 최대 전력효율은 92%이다. 설계된 회로의 칩 면적은 $1310{\mu}m{\times}1100{\mu}m$이다.

The current-fed DC-DC converter, which is known as the most stable DC-DC converter, has a two-winding reactor in series with the input. In this paper the new multi-output DC-DC converter circuit, in which the 2nd winding of the reactor is creating the 2nd output, while the 2nd winding is feeding the energy to input in the current-fed converter, is proposed. The steady state characteristics of the new circuit are clarified. And it is found that the maximum value exists in the 2nd output.

This paper presents a PWM dc-ac converter regulation using a Single Input Fuzzy PI Controller (SIFPIC). The SIFPIC is derived from the signed distanced method, which is a simplification of a conventional fuzzy controller. The simplification results in a one-dimensional rule table, that allows its control surface to be approximated by a piecewise linear relationship. The controller multi-loop structure is comprised of an outer voltage and an inner current feedback loop. To verify the performance of the SIFPIC, a low power PWM dc-ac converter prototype is constructed and the proposed control algorithm is implemented. The experimental results show that the SIFPIC performance is comparable to a conventional Fuzzy PI controller, but with a much reduced computation time.

In this paper, we proposed a novel current-fed DC-DC converter with multi-output. It has two winding reactor in series with the input source of the converter. By using the 2nd winding recycling the energy stored in the reactor to the input, the double-outputs DC-DC converter can be created, which makes it a good choice for a multi-output power supply with more outputs and has savings in cost and space. The steady state and dynamic characteristics of the converter are analyzed in detail by using the state space averaging method. It is found that the maximum value of $V_{o2}$ exists in the 2nd output and also during the MOSFET off period, the energy stored in the magnetizing inductance is reset through auxiliary winding $N_3$, so the duty cycle is restricted to 50%. Theoretical and experimental results were taken from the converter rated at switching frequency 50kHz. input voltage 50V. output voltage 5V. 12V and output power 65W. As a result, both results were well consistent. Therefore, it is varified the validity of the proposed converter in this paper.

본 논문은 Buck-Boost DC-DC 변환기를 이용하여 다중 대역으로 존재하는 RF 신호를 수집하여 에너지를 생성하는 에너지 수집 시스템에 대하여 소개한다. 수집된 전기에너지를 사용하는 부하의 저항이 지속적으로 변하는 환경에서는 부하 저항이 변하여도 DC-DC 변환기의 입력저항이 변하지 않는 Buck-Boost DC-DC 변환기를 사용하였다. 입력으로 들어오는 RF 신호의 주파수 대역이 다양하므로 다중대역을 다 처리 할 수 있도록 정류기를 대역별로 설계하고 정류기 앞에 각 대역별로 매칭 회로를 추가하였다. 크기가 매우 작은 RF 신호를 효과적으로 수집하기 위한 정류기를 위하여 각 대역에서 수집하여 발생시킨 전압을 계속 누적하여 축적하는 방법을 고안하여 매우 작은 크기의 입력 신호에도 일정한 전압이 출력되게끔 회로를 설계하였다. 입력이 -20 dBm의 크기를 가진 RF 신호에도 출력 효율이 20% 정도까지 낼 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Electric vehicles (EV) demands for greater acceleration, performance and vehicle range in pure electric vehicles plus mandated requirements to further reduce emissions in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) increase the appeal for combined on-board energy storage systems and generators. And the power electronics plays an important role in providing an interface between fuel cells (FC) and loads. This paper deals with a multiple input DC-DC power converter devoted to combine the power flowing of multi-source on energy systems. The multi-source is composed of (i) FC system as a prime power demands, (ii) super capacitor banks as energy storage devices for high and intense power demands, (iii) superconducting magnetic energy storage system (SMES), (iv) multiple input DC-DC power converter and (v) a three phase inverter-fed permanent magnet synchronous motor as a drive. In this system, It is used super capacitor banks and superconducting magnetic energy replaces from the battery system. The modeling and transient performance simulation is effective for reducing transient influence caused by sudden charge of effective load. The main purpose of power electronic converters is to convert the DC power output from the fuel cell and other to a suitable AC voltage, which can be connected to electric loads directly (PMSM). The fuel cell and other output is connected to the DC-DC converter, which regulates the DC link voltage.

The Differential Power Processing (DPP) converter is a promising multi-module photovoltaic inverter architecture recently proposed for photovoltaic systems. In this paper, a DPP converter architecture, in which each PV-panel has its own DPP converter in shunt, performs distributed maximum power point tracking (DMPPT) control. It maintains a high energy conversion efficiency, even under partial shading conditions. The system architecture only deals with the power differences among the PV panels, which reduces the power capacity of the converters. Therefore, the DPP systems can easily overcome the conventional disadvantages of PCS such as centralized, string, and module integrated converter (MIC) topologies. Among the various types of the DPP systems, the feed-forward method has been selected for both its voltage balancing and power transfer to a modified H-bridge inverter that needs charge balancing of the input capacitors. The modified H-bridge multi-level inverter had some advantages such as a low part count and cost competitiveness when compared to conventional multi-level inverters. Therefore, it is frequently used in photovoltaic (PV) power conditioning system (PCS). However, its simplified switching network draws input current asymmetrically. Therefore, input capacitors in series suffer from a problem due to a charge imbalance. This paper validates the operating principle and feasibility of the proposed topology through the simulation and experimental results. They show that the input-capacitor voltages maintain the voltage balance with the PV MPPT control operating with a 140-W hardware prototype.

Conventional active-clamp forward converter shows good performance in low power applications, however it suffers from a high voltage stress of switch and is not suitable for high input voltage applications. To solve this problem, a new multi-level active-clamp forward converter is proposed in this paper. Utilizing low rating switches, the proposed converter features high efficiency and low cost promising for high input voltage applications.

This paper presents a switched capacitor (SC) based bidirectional dc-dc converter topology for high voltage gain applications. The proposed converter is able to operate with multiple integral voltage conversion ratios based on user input. The architecture of a user-friendly, inductor-less multi-voltage-gain bidirectional dc-dc converter is proposed in this study. The inductor-less or magnetic-less design of the proposed converter makes it effective in higher temperature applications. Furthermore, the proposed converter has a reduced component count and lower voltage stress across its switches and capacitors when compared to existing SC converters. An output impedance analysis of the proposed converter is presented and compared with popular existing SC converters. The proposed converter is simulated in the OrCAD PSpice environment and the obtained results are presented. A 200 W hardware prototype of the proposed SC converter has been developed. Experimental results are presented to validate the efficacy of the proposed converter.

In this paper, we composed solar generation system with multi-phase interleaved boost converter Solar generated voltage is low, so it has need of the boost power conversion device for supply power to normal load. The multi-phase interleaved boost converter is easy to boost voltage and it can be reduced both input current ripple and output voltage ripple because it is composed with multi-phase. We simulated and tested multi-phase interleaved boost converter applied three-phase.
