In general, the LLC resonant topology consists of three stages as; square wave generator, resonant network, and rectifier network. LLC resonant converter has the time slowly varying parameters. However, the power LEDs as the load of LLC converter can be regarded as fast time varying parameters. In this paper, the mathematical model of half-bridge resonant converter including with the power LEDs is introduced for the current controller design model. Using this controller design model, the parameter adaptive output feedback controller will be designed to control the power LEDs current. In order to show the validities of the proposed model, the parameter adaptive output feedback controller, the experimental investigation will be presented.

A link voltage adjustment converter employing load power estimator for notebook computer adaptor is proposed. It is consisted of the boost converter as a power factor correction stage and the LLC resonant converter as a DC/DC conversion stage with a newly introduced link voltage adjustment method employing load power estimator, which helps to reduce the transformer size and peak of output voltage ripple, maintaining high efficiency over all the load condition. Experimental results with 85W converter are given to verify the validity of the proposed circuit.

A RF-DC converter is one of the most important components for a wireless power transmission. It has been developed for many applications such as space solar power system, and Radio Frequency Identification(RFID). In this paper, we designed three types of RF-DC converter and compare the performance of each. All types RF-DC convertoer have a maximum conversion efficiency at input power level of 0 dBm~5 dBm and RF-DC converter of third type was the best performance that has a 21.9% of conversion efficiency.

In this paper, we propose the battery charging device for electric bicycle using photovoltaic power. DC voltage from the solar cells is low, it needs to be step-up by the power conversion device. The power conversion device applied to this paper is phase-shift full-bridge converter. This converter steps-up from 12${\sim}$22[Vdc] to 36[Vdc] for charging the battery of electric bicycle. Phase-shift full-bridge converter(PSFB) can obtain twice as much DC voltage compared with half-bridge converter, thus it has lower current stress less than half-bridge converter. It is simulated and tested the battery charging device using photovoltaic power.

In most railway vehicle applications, a single phase AC/DC converter is used greatly and is essential equipment for Korea High Speed Train. A diode bridge rectifier and a phase-controlled thyristor bridge rectifier generate harmonics in power system. Nowadays, power factor and harmonics become major issue in electrical equipment for railway vehicle. Many researchers have been trying to improve the power factor and ac-side harmonics. Therefore the PWM converter is used to operate at unity Power factor and to reduce ac-side current harmonics. This paper describes the circuit for AC/DC PWM converter of Korea High Speed Train and proposes control algorithm to realize the sinusolidal input current waveform and the effective unity power factor. The validity of the proposed control method is verified through the experimental result.

This paper presents a new AC/DC converter scheme for HVDC system to achieve a high power factor operation. The new AC/DC converter consists of two 12-pulse bridge converters in series: the primary and auxiliary converters. Ignition angles of the main and auxiliary converters are controlled independently to maintain the nominal DC voltage and control auxiliary voltage. The resulted DC voltage obtained by superimposing the above two phase modulated voltages can be controlled very rapidly over a wide range, and a high power factor operation is achieved. Performance improvements in power factor and harmonic distortion are validated by theoretic derivations and experiments with prototype HVDC system. With the proposed converters, investment for reactive power compensation and filter in HVDC system can be saved significantly.

A new asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) half bridge converter with improved ZVS performance is proposed. The ZVS operation of the proposed converter can be maintained from no load to full load conditions since the magnetizing current of the transformer contributes to the ZVS operation at light loads without considerable conduction loss of the transformer and switch. Synchronous rectification is employed to reduce the rectification loss. Operational principles, large signal modeling, ZVS analysis and design equations are presented. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed converter can achieve a large ZVS range and significant improvement in efficiency for a 100W (5V, 20A) prototype converter.

This paper proposes a simple 3-level interleaved charger-discharger for the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with various combinations of battery cells. The proposed converter not only improves charging and discharging efficiency, but also reduces the physical volume and the cost. Furthermore, the converter also offers the capability of the neutral point voltage, so that more stable operation can be obtained. In addition, the proposed converter significantly reduces the ripple current of the battery inductor, thereby providing an expected life extension of the battery. Experimental results for a 300kVA UPS prototype verify the validity of the proposed converter. The proposed charger-discharger is suitable for UPSs and energy storage systems (ESSs) with wide input battery voltage ranges.

A way how to teach a general understanding of switched mode power supplies (SMPS) is shown. A fourth order PWM DC-to-DC converter with limited duty cycle range is treated as an example and a survey over important data (maximum voltage and current ratings for the elements, rms- values for the semiconductor devices and a rough approximation of the losses) of the circuit is given. Furthermore, a converter model based on duty ratio averaging is established. Continuous mode of operation is used. The results make it possible to estimate the applicability of the given converter structure and offer sufficient material for the calculation, design, and analysis and give a better insight into switched mode energy conversion.
