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.

Bidirectional DC-DC converters allow transfer of power between two dc sources, in either direction. Due to their ability to reverse the direction of flow of power, Dey are being increasingly used in many applications such as battery charge/dischargers, do uninterruptible power supplies, electrical vehicle motor drives, aerospace power systems, telecom power supplies, etc. This Paper Proposes a new bidirectional Sepic/Zeta converter. It has low switching loss and low conduction loss due to auxiliary communicated circuit and synchronous rectifier operation, respectively Because of positive and buck/boost-like DC voltage transfer function(M=D/1-D), the proposed converter is very desirable for use in distributed power system. The proposed converter also has both transformer-less version and transformer one.

본 논문은 새로운 단일전력변환 SEPIC(Single-Ended Primary-Inductor Converter)-ZETA 절연형 양방향 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 SEPIC과 ZETA 컨버터가 결합된 구조로 절연을 통해 안정성을 강화했고, DC측 리플 전류가 낮아 에너지 저장장치의 수명을 연장시킨다. 그리고 SEPIC 컨버터 모드(DC/AC)와 ZETA 컨버터 모드(AC/DC)에서의 입출력 전압비가 동일해 양방향 제어 알고리즘이 간단하다. 또한, 기존 two-stage 구성의 양방향 컨버터와 달리 회로가 단순하며, 단일전력변환을 통한 고효율 저비용의 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이론적 해석 및 제안한 컨버터의 250W급 시작품을 이용한 실험결과를 통해 컨버터의 우수성 및 성능을 검증한다.

본 논문에서는 두 개의 무손실 스너버 셀을 제안하여 고주파에서 동작할 수 있는 컨버터를 일반화하였다. 컨버터 구현 시 스너버 셀의 선택은 컨버터 구조에 따라서 결정된다. 스너버 셀의 구성은 한 개의 포화 인덕터와 LC 공진회로, 두 개의 다이오드로 구성된다. 인덕터는 컨버터 주 다이오드의 역회복 손실을 저감시키는 역할을 하는데 포화 인덕터를 사용하면 셀 내의 공진 에너지를 감소시켜 컨버터가 고주파에서 동작될 수 있는 특성을 갖는다. 컨버터의 일반화는 무손실 스너버 셀을 벅(Buck), 부스트(Boost), 벅-부스트(Busk-Boost), 척(Cuk), 제타(ZETA) 및 세픽(SEPIC)에 추가하여 실현하였다. 제안된 컨버터의 고주파 동작 및 고효율 특성은 400 kHz, 125 W 부하에서 실험하여 기존의 PWM 컨버터에 비하여 고효율로 동작함을 확인하였다.

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.

A new auxiliary circuit for boost, buck, buck-boost, Cuk, SEPIC, and zeta converters is introduced to provide soft switching for pulse-width modulation converters. In the aforementioned family of DC-DC converters, the main and auxiliary switches turn on under zero current transition (ZCT) and turn off with zero voltage and current transition (ZVZCT). All diodes commutate under soft switching conditions. On the basis of the proposed converter family, the boost topology is analyzed, and its operating modes are presented. The validity of the theoretical analysis is justified by the experimental results of a 100W, 100 kHz prototype. The conducted electromagnetic emissions of the proposed boost converter are measured and found to be lower than those of another ZCT boost converter.
