This paper presents an output ripple reduction of Active-Clamp Forward Converter, which is mainly composed of interleaving two active-clamping forward converters. By interleaving, Output ripple is reduced. The leakage inductance of the transformer or an additional resonant inductance is employed to achieve ZVS during the dead times. The duty cycles are not limited to be equal and within 50%. The complementary switching and the resulted interleaved output inductor currents diminish the current ripple in output capacitors. Accordingly, the smaller output chokes and capacitors lower the converter volume and increase the power density. Detailed analysis of this ouput reduction of Active-Clamp Forward Converter is described.

In the design of the battery charger it is important to limit the ripple current and voltage according to the manufacturer's recommendation for the reliable service and the extended life of the battery. However, it is often overlooked that these ripple components can cause internal heating of the battery, thereby reducing its service life. Thus the care must be taken in the design of the switching converter for the charge application through the accurate estimation of the output ripple values. In this research analysis on the output ripple of the dc-dc converter is detailed to provide a guideline for the design of the battery charger.

In this paper, the non-isolation, high-efficiency and high-voltage-output DC-DC converter using the self-driven synchronous switch is proposed. The proposed converter achieves high-voltage-output by applying a tapped inductor to the conventional boost DC-DC converter structure, and it reduces the voltage stress of main switch applying the lossless capacitor-diode (LCD) snubber to the switch. And the proposed converter applies the synchronous switch instead of the diode to the output part, and thus it resolves the reverse recovery problem and achieves high-efficiency. The synchronous switch of proposed converter uses the self-driven method and has a simple structure. In this paper, the operation principle of proposed converter is explained, and then, a design example of the converter prototype is presented. And the characteristics of the proposed converter are shown through experimental results of the prototype made with the designed circuit parameters.

A novel resonant pulse control technique which generates high-quality sinusoidal output voltage from a resonant dc link inverter is presented for UPS applicatons. The proposed control technique limits resonant voltae overshoot without any passive or active clamp circuit, resulting in resonant pulses iwth uniform amplitude and high efficiency. The output voltage is controlled by the third order contorller iwth an inner loop of th efilter inductor current and the feedforward controller. Analysis and design of the proposed control technique are illustrated and verified on a 5kVA experimental unit.

This paper introduces a master and slave control algorithm for parallel operation of UPS system. If each module of UPS system control the output voltage and filter inductor current in parallel operation, it occur unbalanced output power each module. To operate UPS system parallel, it need a algorithm that control output power of modules. A master and slave control algorithm is helpful to balance output power of modules by controlling output current. The effect of a master and slave control algorithm is proved by simulations.

The push pull forward converter is a very suitable circuit for low output voltage, high output current applications with a wide input voltage range. All the magnetic components (output inductor, transformer, input filter) can be integrated into a single core. The integrated magnetics can reduce the number of the magnetic components. Developed the push pull forward converter rating are of 36 $\~$72V input and 3.3V/30A output. In this converter, the efficiency was measured by $76.4\%$ at full load and 82.95$\%$ at full load. The maximum efficiency is up to 83.$\%$ at 200kHz switching frequency, l1A output.

This paper analyzes the steady-state and dynamic characteristics of the watkings-johnson converter. the major contributions of this paper includ identification of the following characteristics unique to the watkins-johnson converter: (1) The output voltage of the converter is nearly constant at the continous conduction mode (CCM), and at discontinousou conduction mode (DCM) it decreses linerly as the output curretn increases. (2) The control-to-output transfer function is a second-order one with a left-half-plane (LHP) zero determined by the combination of the output capacitor and equivalent series resistor of the converter. This LHP zero signinificantly improves the stability of the converter. (3) The control-to-output transfer function reduces to a first-order one, as the converter moves from CCM to DCM. (4) The parastic resistance of the inductor does not cause any significant influence on poles and zeros of the transfer function.

In this paper, a novel multilevel inverter using DC-Link voltage combination is presented to reduce the harmonics of output voltage without the output filter inductor. The proposed multilevel inverter can generate 27-level output voltage. It employs three H-bridge cells which consist of single phase full-bridge inverter module. As well as, it can make continuous output voltage level employing the properly three DC-Link voltage ratio. The validity of the proposed inverter is verified through the experimental result using a prototype which can generate a 110[Vac], 60[Hz] output voltage from 12[Vdc], 36[vdc], and 108[Vdc] input voltages
