본 논문은 기존 전자식 안정기에 사용되던 Boost 컨버터 형태의 역률 개선 부분을 SEPIC 컨버터 형태를 갖는 역률 개선 방식으로 대치하여 특성을 확인한 논문이다. Boost 컨버터 형태를 갖는 역률 개선 방식의 출력 DC 전압은 일반적으로 400[V]이며, 최소 전압은 입력 전원의 실효값 이상이어야만 한다. 하지만 SEPIC 컨버터 구조를 이용하면, 역율 개선 효과뿐만 아니라, 입력 전원의 실효값 보다 작은 출력 DC 전압을 얻을 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SEPIC 컨버터 구조를 갖는 역율 개선 방식과 링코어를 이용한 자려식 발진 방식을 적용한 전자식 안정기를 제작하였고, 낮은 출력 전압을 이용하여 소자의 용량과 크기를 감소시켰다.

A high efficiency active clamp sepic-flyback converter is presented for fuel cell generation systems. The proposed converter is a superposition of a sepic converter mode and. flyback converter mode. The output voltages of the sepic converter mode and flyback converter mode can be regulated by the same PWM technique with constant frequency. By merging the sepic and flyback topologies, they can share the transformer, power MOSFET and active clamp circuit. The result has outstanding advantages over conventional active clamp DC-DC converters: high efficiency, high power density, and component utilization. Simulation results and experimental results are presented to verify the principles of operation for the proposed converter.

A single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) features low input current ripple and output voltage up/down capability. However, the switching devices in a two-level SEPIC suffer from high voltage stresses and switching losses. To cope with this drawback, this study proposes a three-level SEPIC that uses a low voltage-rated switch and thus achieves better switching performance compared with the two-level SEPIC. The three-level SEPIC can reduce switch voltage stresses and switching losses. The converter operation and control method are described in this work. The experimental results for a 500 W prototype converter are also discussed. Experimental results show that unlike the two-level SEPIC, the three-level SEPIC achieves improved power efficiency with balanced capacitor voltages.

A novel non-isolated bidirectional soft-switching SEPIC/ZETA converter with reduced ripple currents is proposed and characterized in this study. Two auxiliary switches and an inductor are added to the original bidirectional SEPIC/ZETA components to form a new direct power delivery path between input and output. The proposed converter can be operated in the forward SEPIC and reverse ZETA modes with reduced ripple currents and increased voltage gains attributed to the optimized selection of duty ratios. All switches in the proposed converter can be operated at zero-current-switching turn-on and/or turn-off through soft current commutation. Therefore, the switching and conduction losses of the proposed converter are considerably reduced compared with those of conventional bidirectional SEPIC/ZETA converters. The operation principles and characteristics of the proposed converter are analyzed in detail and verified by the simulation and experimental results.

A new SEPIC-Flyback converter is proposed. The proposed converter is the integration of SEPIC and Flyback converter. Not only SEPIC output but also Flyback output could be fully regulated by constant frequency PWM control. Merged SEPIC and Flyback topology can share the transformer and power MOSFET. When the switch turns on, one topology operates via capacitive energy transfer. The other topology acts as inductive energy transfer while the switch is off. So, it can increase power density per one cycle. The experimental result is presented and verified.

본 논문에서는 능동역률보상(PFC)의 구조를 가진 SEPIC 컨버터를 이용한 무전극 형광램프(electrodeless fluorescent lamps)용 전자식 안정기를 제안하였다. SEPIC 컨버터는 입력 전류의 낮은 고조파와 고역률의 특성을 가진다. 제안된 제어방법으로는 UC3854의 적분회로를 이용한 것으로 이 기술은 전류연속모드로 동작하는 역률보상 및 과전류보호를 제공하는 매우 간단한 제어 회로이다. 제안된 무전극 형광램프용 전자식 안정기는 3개의 무전극 형광램프용으로 설계되어 기존의 무전극 형광램프용 전자식 안정기보다 에너지 및 제작비 절약 효과가 크다. 제안된 안정기의 특성을 측정하기 위해 실험을 실시하였으며 이를 통해 고역률과 낮은 THD를 확인하였다.

In this paper, we proposed a design photovoltaic generation systems with SEPIC-Flyback converter. The SEPIC-Flyback converter is operated to SEPIC converter the state turn-on of the switch and the state turn-off the switch is operated Flyback converter. Therefore application rate of the core increases and voltage stress of switch and transformer decreases with active clamp operation. Also we performed MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) control for efficient working of Photovoltaic Dower generation system.

This paper presents the regulation of the output voltage and inductor currents in a Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC), operating in the continuous conduction mode (CCM) using a sliding mode controller. Owing to the time varying nature of the SEPIC converter, designing a feedback controller is a challenging task. In order to improve the dynamic performance of the SEPIC, a Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) is developed. The developed SMC is designed by using a state space average model. The performance of the developed controller with the SEPIC converter is validated at different working conditions through Matlab simulations. It is also compared with the performance while using a PI controller. The results show that the designed controller gives very good output voltage regulation under different operating conditions such as a varying input voltage, changes in the load and component variations. A 48V, 46W experimental setup for has been developed in an analog platform to validate the performance of the proposed SMC.
