리튬전지는 다양한 전자기기의 구동전원으로 널리 사용되고 있으며, 충전과 방전 동작을 수차례 반복하는 화성공정은 이러한 리튬전지의 생산에 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 충전동작과 방전동작을 하나의 장치로 수행할 수 있는 리튬전지 충방전용 직류-직류 변환기를 제안하고 설계한다. 제안한 변환기는 리튬전지의 충방전 특성을 고려하여 설계하였으며, 충전모드에서는 포워드 변환기로 동작하고 방전모드에서는 절연된 부스트 변환기로 동작한다. 해석을 바탕으로 설계조건에 부합하는 변압기의 권선 수, 인덕터, 커패시터 및 스위칭 소자를 설계하였다. 끝으로 설계한 변수를 적용한 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 변환기 설계의 타당성을 입증하였다.

A new single stage AC/DC converter with a high power factor is proposed. The proposed converter gives good power factor correction, low current harmonic distortions, and tight output regulations. This converter also has an high efficiency by employing Active-clamp method and synchronous rectifiers. To verify performances of the proposed converter, 90W-converter is designed. This prototype meets the IEC555-2 requirements satisfactorily with nearly unity power factor.

A new primary-side-assisted zero-voltage and zero-current switching (ZVZCS) three-level DC-DC converter with flying capacitor is proposed. The three-level converters are promising in high voltage applications, and ZVZCS is a very effective means for reducing switching losses. The proposed DC-DC converter uses only one auxiliary transformer and two diodes to obtain ZCS for the inner leg. It has a simple and robust structure, and offers soft-switching capability even in short-switching conditions. The proposed converter was verified by experiments in a 6KW prototype designed for communication applications and operating at 100kHz.

This paper presents a novel single-stage high frequency resonant DC-DC converter using zero voltage switching with high input power factor. The proposed high frequency resonant converter integrates half-bridge boost rectifier as power factor corrector (PFC) and half-bridge resonant converter into a single stage. The input stage of the half-bridge boost rectifier is working in discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) with constant duty cycle and variable switching frequency. So that a high power factor is achieved naturally. Simulation results through the Pspice have demonstrated the feasibility of the Proposed DC-DC converter. This proposed converter will be able to be practically used as a power supply in various fields as induction heating applications, DC-DC converter etc.

This paper is concerned with a zero-voltage soft-switching PWM DC-DC high-pelter converter using IGBTs, which Bakes the most of the parastic LC parameters of high-voltage transformer link, for diagnostic X-Ray power generator. The converter circuit basically utilizes phase-shift pulse width modulated series resonant full-bridge PWM DC-DC high-Power converter operating at a constant frequency:20kHz. This technique brings about dramatic decreases in the switching losses of power devices and their electrical stresses as compared with the commonly-used hard-switching PWM DC-DC power converter. The high-frequency switching operation of the converters has some effective advantages, which consist in the physical reduction in size and weight and lowered acoustic noise.

Pulse-width modulated (PWM) full-bridge boost converters are used in applications where the output voltage is considerably higher than the input voltage. Zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) is typically implemented in these converters. A new ZVS-PWM full-bridge converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter does not have any of the disadvantages associated with other converters of this type, including a complicated auxiliary circuit, increased current stresses in the main power switches, and load-dependent ZVS operation. The operation of the proposed converter, its steady-state characteristics, and its design are explained and examined. The feasibility of the converter is confirmed with results obtained from an experimental prototype.

This paper proposes a new configuration of 36-pulse voltage source converter which consists of two 6-pulse bridges and a pulse-interleaving auxiliary circuit. The system topology of proposed converter was derived to increase the pulse number of converter output voltage without increasing the number of 6-pulse bridges. The gate pulse generation was analyzed using the theoretical approach of multi-pulse switching converter, The operational feasibility of proposed system was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software and experimental works with 2kVA hardware prototype. The proposed converter can be widely used for the uninterruptible power supply, the power quality compensator, and the distributed power generation, such as solar and fuel cell power system.

A zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) pulse width modulated (PWM) converter is a PWM converter with a single main power switch that has an auxiliary circuit to help it turn on with zero-voltage switching (ZVS). There have been many ZVT-PWM converters proposed in the literature as they are the most popular type of ZVS-PWM converters. In this paper, the properties and characteristics of several types of ZVT-PWM converters are reviewed. A new type of ZVT-PWM converter is then introduced, and the operation of a sample converter of this type is explained and analyzed in detail. A procedure for the design of the converter is presented and demonstrated experimentally. The feasibility of the new converter is confirmed with results obtained from an experimental prototype. Conclusions on the performance of ZVT-PWM converters in general are made based on the efficiency results obtained from the experimental prototypes of various ZVT-PWM converters of different types.

A modular multilevel-clamped composited multilevel converter ($M-MC^2$) is proposed. $M-MC^2$ enables topology reconfiguration, power device reuse, and composited clamping. An advanced five-level converter ($5L-M-MC^2$) is derived from the concept of $M-MC^2$. $5L-M-MC^2$ integrates dual three-level T-type modules and one three-level neutral point clamped module. This converter can also integrate dual three-level T-type modules and one passive diode module by utilizing the device reuse scheme. The operation principle and SPWM modulation are discussed to highlight converter performance. The proposed $M-MC^2$ is comprehensively compared with state-of-the-art five-level converters. Finally, simulations and experimental results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the main contributions of this study.
