In this paper, a soft-switching scheme for the PWM interleaved buck converter(IBC) is newly proposed to obtain the advantages of both the conventional PWM interleaved buck and resonant converters such as ease of control, reduced switching losses and stresses, and low EMI. To obtain the soft-switching action, the proposed scheme employs an auxiliary circuit, which is added to the conventional interleaved buck converter and used to achieve soft-switching for both the main switches and the output diodes while not incurring any additional losses due to the auxiliary circuit itself. In this paper, the basic operations are discussed and design guidelines are presented. And through the experimental results, the usefulness of the proposed converter is verified.

Recently, the three phase AC to DC boost converter has become one of the most widely used power converters as DC power source in the industry applications. In this paepr, a three phase PWM AC toDC boost converter that operates with unity power factor and sinusodial input currents is presented. The current control of the converter is based onthe predicted current control strategy with fixed switching frequency and the input current tracks the reference cuent within one sampling time interval. Therefore, by using this control strategy low ripples in the output voltage, low harmonics in the input current and fast dynamic responses are achieved with a small capacitance in the DC link.

Resonant converters have several salient features such as high efficiency and low noise. Therefore, ZVS-PWM controlled series resonant converter with active-clamp technique is presented. The combination of an active-clamp technique and resonant circuit makes it possible to control the output voltage of the resonant converter with PWM. This new resonant converter was implemented and has achieved a good controllability. In this paper, the normal load characteristics and abnormal voltage increase in the case of the light load are analyzed. As a result, it is clarified that the stray capacitance of the transformer is a cause of the abnormal voltage increase. Then, it is confirmed that the abnormal voltage increase is suppressed by decreasing the duty ratio. ZVS condition is analyzed. The maximum efficiency of 89% is obtained for the output of 10V and 5A.

A ZVT PWM Boost Converter is proposed to reduce current stresses and conduction losses of main switch in a conventional circuit. By attaching resonant inductor Lr1 in parallel with capacitor Cr, the resonant circulating current is diverted to the additional component and then the main switch is subjected to minimum current stresses same as those in their PWM counterparts. Moreover, the operation of the auxiliary switch in a half wave mode to prevent reverse resonant energy from freewheeling can be able to lessen the conduction losses. The operation principles of the proposed converters are analyzed using the PWM boost converter topology as an example. Theoretically analysis and experimental results verify the validity of the boost converter topology with the proposed circuit.

This paper describes a pseudo-random carrier PW technique for the power converters. The proposed method generates a new pseudo-random carrier by randomly composing a carrier with fixed frequency and a carrier with opposition phase. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, a single-phase multi-level inverter was implemented and tested. The experimental results show that the output voltage and current harmonics spectra of an inverter have broadening effect of harmonics, as only simple composition of fixed frequency carries.

This paper presents an implementation of Pill controller for DC-DC converter using the microcontroller. The features of the microcontroller such as the on chip ADC and Pulse width Modulator (PWM) eliminate the external components needed to perform these functions. The duty rate cycle for the DC-DC converter can be updated every time when the (ADC) conversation and the calculation time are finished. The stable response can be obtained for any kind of DC-DC converters. The SMPS controller looks at the converter output, compares the output to a set point, performs a control algorithm (Pill algorithm) and finally applies the algorithm output to the PWM. PWM output is then used to drive the DC-DC converter. Figure (1) shows a simplified block diagram of a complete DC-DC converter system.

A new three-phase soft-switching active front-end inverter is presented. The topology consists of a quasi-resonant PWM boost converter with an additional resonant branch, which provides low loss at high frequency operation. This leads to a high conversion efficiency and a remarkable reduction in the siBe of the input inductor. To synchronise the PWM pattern with the resonance cycle, a modified space vector modulation with asymmetrical PWM pattern is used. A high power factor can be achieved for both power flow directions. Due to a new control strategy the converter features a low content of harmonics in the line currents even for distorted line voltages.

This paper introduces a simple core loss calculation method for output filter inductor in pulse width modulation (PWM) DC-AC inverter. Amorphous C-core (AMCC-320) is used to analyze the core loss. In order to measure core loss of the output filter inductor and validate the proposed method, a single-phase half-bridge inverter and a calorimeter are used. By changing switching frequency and modulation index (MI) of the inverter, core loss of the AMCC-320 is measured with the lab-made calorimeter and the results are compared with calculated core loss. The proposed method can be easily extended to other core loss calculation of various converters.

In this paper, a single-phase to three-phase PWM converter topology using six switches only for low cost induction motor drive is proposed. The converter topology is of lower cost than the conventional one, which gives sinusoidal input current, unity power factor, dc output voltage control and bidirectional power flow In addition, the source voltage sensor is eliminated by controlling the deviation between the model current and the system current to be zero. The performance of the proposed converter has been demonstrated through the computer simulation.
