An active boost converter for a single phase SRM using series-parallel connected capacitors is proposed in this paper. The proposed active boost converter has two diodes and one power switch with an anti-parallel diode and one additional boost capacitor. The additional boost capacitor could be series or parallel connected to the dc-link capacitor to produce proper excitation and demagnetization voltage. The proposed active boost converter can easily achieve a fast excitation and demagnetization from the capacitor connection. In this paper, series and parallel connected converters are reviewed, and the detailed operating modes as well as the voltage characteristics of the proposed converter are analyzed. The simulation and experimental results shows the effectiveness of the proposed active boost converter.

Consideration for parallel operation in a high power system has been increased due to the advantages of parallel operation like as high productivity, simplicity of design, and redundancy of power. This paper discussed the parallel operation of DC-DC Converter, Which Can be used as a high power system, is studied. Based on the small signal model of DC-DC Converter, the simple and exact power stage model of parallel operation system is derived and the parallel operation system using current balance method for the uniform current distribution among the parallel operation system is discussed. To verify the high performance of the proposed DC-DC converter system for parallel operation, the simulation test of the parallel operation, which has 2 Converter modules, is accomplished.

A novel parallel three-level zero voltage switching (ZVS) DC converter is presented for medium voltage applications. The proposed converter includes three sub-circuits connected in parallel with the same power switches to share load current and reduce the current stress of passive components at the output side. Thus, the size of the output chokes is reduced and the switch counts in the proposed converter are less that in the conventional parallel three-level DC/DC converter. Each sub-circuit combines one half-bridge converter and one three-level converter. The transformer secondary windings of these two converters are connected in series in order to reduce the size of output inductor. Due to the three-level circuit topology, the voltage stress of power switches is equal to $V_{in}/2$. Based on the resonant behavior by the output capacitance of power switches and the leakage inductance (or external inductance) at the transition interval, each switch can be turned on under ZVS. Finally, experiments based on a 2 kW prototype are provided to verify the performance of the proposed converter.

A large power fuel cell generation system needs a parallel operation of de-de boost converter. Therefore, this paper proposed parallel operation algorithms of de-de boost converters for the large scale fuel cell generation system of 250[kW] and the operating principle along with the control method in detail. This paper uses a maximum current sharing method as a parallel operation method and also the phase shift full bridge de-de converter as a de-de boost converter. Simulation and experimental results on two prototype converter modules of 500W show that the parallel operation method can be applied to the 250[kW] power converter.

This paper presents development of 6kw ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) boost converter by 4-parallel operation. To realize a high capacity converter with 6 kw, 4-parallel operation of 1.5kW unit module is proposed in this paper. To meet high ratio input to output voltage, isolated type booster converter is designed. To achieve ZVS operation of 4-switches of full bridge and protect a voltage overshoot caused by switch turn-off, simple active-clamp circuit is applied to the primary side. For parallel operation of 4-modules, master-slave control method is proposed to achieve input current sharing of 4-unit converter modules accurately. For performance tests, simulation is carried out. Also, load and experimental tests of the developed booster converter, 230Vdc/6kW, are carried out under various conditions. For field tests, the developed converter is applied for boosting a battery power to high DC_link voltage for a VSI inverter which starts a micro-turbine(MT) installed in vehicle and it's performance is verified through high speed motoring a MT up to tens of thousands of rpm.

높은 생산성, 시스템 설계의 단순화 및 미래 확장에 대비한 여분의 전원 확보 등의 병렬운전 방법의 장점으로 인해 대전력 전원장치에 있어 컨버터 시스템의 병렬운전에 대한 요구가 점점 증가되어 왔다. DC-DC 컨버터의 소신호 모델을 토대로 하여, 병렬운전 시스템의 모델을 제안하였으며 각 컨버터 모듈간의 균일한 전류분배를 위해 제안된 균등 전류 분배법을 사용한 병렬운전 시스템에 대하여 논의하였다. 모의실험 프로그램을 사용하여, 서로 특성이 다른 컨버터 모듈로 구성된 병렬운전 시스템에서 마스터와 슬레이브 모듈의 위치가 자동적으로 변하면서 전류분배 오차는 제한 값 이내로 유지됨을 확인하였다. 병렬운전을 위한 제안된 컨버터 시스템의 운전 특성을 확인하기 위하여 1[kW]의 DC-DC 컨버터 모듈 2대를 제작 실험하였으며 모의실험 결과는 과도특성 및 기동특성에 있어 실험 결과와 잘 일치됨을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 동적 전류분담 인덕터를 이용한 ZVT 풀 브리지 DC/DC 컨버터의 병렬운전 특성을 해석하였다. 기존의 경우 CT(Current Transformer)를 사용하여 각 단위 컨버터 전류의 크기를 감지하여, 제어회로에서 각 컨버터에 균등한 전류 배분을 하는 방법을 사용하였으나, 본 연구에서는 동적 전류분담 인덕터를 사용함으로써 병렬운전하는 두 대의 풀 브리지 컨버터의 전류분배를 위한 제어회로를 비교적 단순하게 하였다. 동시에 ZVT회로를 이용하여 컨버터의 효율을 향상시켰으며 스위칭소자로서 IGBT를 사용하여 2[㎾]급 시작품을 제작, 50[KHz]에서 실험하였다.

The design feasibility of a micro unidirectional DC transmission system based on an input-parallel output-parallel (IPOP) converter is analyzed in this paper. The system consists of two subsystems: an input-parallel output-series (IPOS) subsystem to step up the DC link voltage, and an input-series output-parallel (ISOP) subsystem to step down the output voltage. The two systems are connected through a transmission line. The challenge of the delay caused by the communication in the control system is addressed by introducing a ring communication structure, and its influence on the control system is analyzed to ensure the feasibility and required performance of the converter system under practical circumstances. Simulation and experiment results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design.
