The objective of the study is to design and develope a 13kW zero voltage switching DC-DC Converter far high power application. Due to using the snubber capacitor in the right leg instead of increasing transformer leakage inductance, DC characteristics and the total efficiency in the proposed ZVS DC-DC converter is increased mere than in the conventional ZVS DC-DC converter by reduction of the circulating current when the load current is large. Also, this paper includes simulation and experimental results of the proposed ZVS FB DC-DC converter.

The flyback converter is one of the most attractive isolated converters in small power applications because of its simple structure. However, it suffers from high device stress, large transformer size, and high voltage stress across its switch and diode. To solve these problems a new cost-effective PWM single-switch isolated converter is proposed. The proposed converter has no output filter inductor, reduced voltage stress on the secondary devices, and reduced transformer size. Moreover, the switch turn-off loss is reduced and no dissipative snubber across the secondary diode is required. Therefore, it features a simple structure, a low cost, and high efficiency. The operational principle and characteristics of the proposed converter are presented and compared with the flyback converter and then verified experimentally.

The object of this study is the design of 3 phase on-board inverter. The key point in the inverter design is the selection of switching device, and its performance effects that of total system. In this study, six-step square wave inverter was designed using IGBT ( Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor ) which has the advantages of MOSFET and bipolar transistor as switching device. The condition of being small and light which is the one of requirements for on-board equipment was accomplished by using IGBT module and optimising the snubber circuit, and the reliablity was increased. It is confirmed that the designed inverter satisfies the required performance through the performance and environment test.

A novel high step-up converter is presented herein, which combines the conventional buck-boost converter, the charge pump capacitor and the coupling inductor. By doing so, a quite high voltage conversion ratio due to not only the turns ratio but also the duty cycle, so as to increase design feasibility. It is noted that the denominator of the voltage conversion ratio is the square of one minus duty cycle. Above all, there is no voltage spike across the switch due to the leakage inductance and hence no passive or active snubber is needed, and furthermore, the used switch is driven without isolation and hence the gate driving circuit is relatively simple, thereby upgrading the industrial application capability of this converter. In this paper, the basic operating principles and the associated mathematical deductions are firstly described in detail, and finally some experimental results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed high step-up converter.

In this paper, an improved KY converter is presented, which is constructed mainly by one charge pump capacitor and one central-tapped coupling inductor. Besides, a passive clamping snubber is added to this converter to improve the efficiency above half load. As compared to the KY converter, the voltage conversion ratio of the proposed converter is upgraded significantly. In this paper, the basic operating principles and mathematical deductions of the proposed converter are described, along with some experimental results provided to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed converter.

Recently, it is getting more and more important ensuring the integrity for the equipment degradation according to the increase of nuclear power plant operating period. In many equipment of the nuclear power plant, snubbers mainly installed in reactor coolant pumps, steam generators and piping protected the equipment and piping from the occurrence of transient dynamic loads such as the earthquake, thermal load during the plant operation. This report describes the function, regulation, inspection requirements and management status of the snubbers installed in domestic nuclear power plants.

This paper presents a novel prototype of zero current switching pulse frequency modulation (ZCS-PFM )high frequency series resonant inverter using IGBT power module for electromagnetic induction eddy current heated roller in copy and printing machines. The operating principle and unique features of this voltage-fed half bridge inverter with two additional soft commutation inductor snubber are presented including the transformer modeling of induction heated rolling drum. This soft switching inverter can achieve stable zero current soft commutation under a discontinuous and continuous resonant load current for a widely specified power regulation processing. The experimental results and computer-aided analysis of this inverter are discussed from a practical point of view.

본 논문에서는 승압형 컨버터의 온/오프 스위칭 손실을 줄이기 위한 새로운 저손실 스너버 회로를 제안한다 제안하는 회로는 인덕터의 보조 권선을 통해 회로를 구성하며 부가되는 소자의 수가 작은 장점을 갖는다 제안하는 회로는 턴온 때에는 인덕터 보조 권선에 의해 스위치로 흐르는 전류의 상승을 제한하는 효과가 나타나므로 다이오드 역회복 전류에 의한 스위치 손실을 줄여준다. 동시에 턴오프시에는 스너버 회로를 통한 스위치 전압의 상승을 완만히 해주므로 역시 손실을 줄여준다. 본 논문에서는 1kW급의 단상 역률보상회로에 제안하는 회로를 구성하여 이의 동작을 검증하였다.

This paper presents a novel circuit topology of a high efficiency single-phase power conditioner. This power conditioner is composed of time-sharing sinewave absolute pulse width modulated boost chopper with a bypass diode in the first power processing stage and time-sharing sinewave pulse width modulated full-bridge inverter in the second power processing stage operated by time-sharing dual mode pulse pattern control scheme. The unique operating principle of the two power processing stage with time-sharing dual mode sinewave modulation scheme is described with a design example. This paper proposes also a sinewave tracking voltage controlled soft switching PWM boost chopper with a passive auxiliary edge-resonant snubber. The new conceptual operating principle of this novel power conditioner related to new energy utilization system is presented and discussed through the experimental results.
