A pulse width modulation(PWM) method for single-phase Sepic-type rectifier is introduced in this paper. The characteristics of the proposed PWM system are high performance high power factor with low input current harmonic distortion. The proposed control method is based on the average-current-mode using the dedicated integrated circuit UC3854 this technique it is possible to implement a very simple control circuit for unitary power-factor in CCM operation and also to provide over-current protection.

A modular photovoltaic PCS with high-frequency isolation is proposed. The proposed system consists of a SEPIC converter and a full-bridge inverter. Using the power slope versus voltage of the PV array, the MPPT controller is proposed that produces a smooth transition to the maximum power point. The disturbance of the line voltage is detected using a fast sensing technique. Experimental results obtained on a 500W prototype show high performance such as almost unity power factor, $90\%$ power efficiency, $3.6\%$ THD.

In order to satisfy the voltage levels of the low voltage battery side and high voltage DC bus, a high voltage gain with bidirectional operation is required. In this system, the cost effectiveness of the design is a critical factor; therefore, the system should be designed using a small number of components. This paper propose a novel bidirectional converter composed with a quasi-sepic and switched-indictor network. The proposed converter consists a small number of components with a high voltage gain ratio. Detailed analysis are made with respect to the operating mode, number of components, voltage and current ripple and efficiency. To verify performance of the proposed converter, simulation was performed is this paper. The simulation results are shown to verify the feasibility and performance of the proposed bidirectional converter.

This paper addresses several issues concerning the analysis, design, modeling, simulation and development of single-phase, single-switch, power factor corrected AC-DC high frequency switching converter topologies with transformer isolation. A detailed analysis and design is presented for single-switch topologies, namely forward buck, flyback, Cuk, Sepic and Zeta buck-boost converters, with high frequency isolation for discontinuous conduction modes (DCM) of operation. With an awareness of modem design trends towards improved performance, these switching converters are designed for low power rating and low output voltage, typically 20.25W with 13.5V in DCM operation. Laboratory prototypes of the proposed single-switch converters in DCM operation are developed and test results are presented to validate the proposed design and developed model of the system.

This paper proposes a SEPIC-input, self-driven, active clamp ZVS converter, where an auxiliary winding and a RC delay circuit are employed to drive the active clamp switch and to achieve asymmetrical duty control without any other extra circuits. Based on the fixed dead time and the resonance between capacitors and inductors, both the main switch and the auxiliary switch can rule the ZVS operation. Detailed operation modes are presented to illustrate the self-driven and ZVS principles. Furthermore, an accurate state-space model and the transfer functions of the proposed converter have been presented and analyzed in order to optimize dynamic performance. The model provides efficient prediction of converter operations. Experimental results, based on a prototype with 80V input and 15V/20A output, are discussed to verify the transient and steady performance of the proposed converter.

최근 자동차 조명시장에서 LED를 이용한 헤드램프 개발이 빠르게 이루어지고 있다. LED 헤드램프는 기존의 할로겐 앰프와 다르게 에너지 효율이 높으며, 헤드램프뿐만 아니라 차량 내부에 다양하게 활용이 가능하다는 장점을 갖는다. 현재 차량에 적용되어 있는 LED 헤드램프 대부분은 SEPIC을 이용한 LED전류제어를 한다. 이러한 경우 헤드램프의 효율은 SEPIC에 의해 대부분 결정이 되며, 부수적인 기능추가를 위해서는 보조 ECU가 추가적으로 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차량용 헤드램프를 위한 DC/DC컨버터를 제안하고, 이에 대해 검증한다.

In this paper, two lossless snubber cells are proposed to generalize high frequency converter with losslless snubber. The selecting of snubber cells, which generalize high frequency converters, are depended on converter topologies. The cells have a saturable inductor, LC resonant tank and two diodes. In the cells, the saturable inductors extremely reduce resonant energy in the LC resonant tank. By minimizing resonant energy, the converter, which applies snubber cells, can operate at high frequency. These cells are applied for Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost, Cuk, ZETA, and SEPIC to generalize converter which have lossless snubber. The boost type converter has been implemented, with 400 kHz switching frequency for 125 W load to verify the converter characteristics.

A non-isolated high voltage gain bidirectional DC-DC converter for battery storage system has been presented in this paper. The topology is composed of boost converter and traditional SEPIC converter. The proposed converter can achieve higher voltage conversion ratio with reduced voltage and current stresses in the switches. In additional, a reduced number of components are included in this topology. The PSIM simulation is carried to validate the analysis and operation of the converter.
