This paper proposes a unity power factor ZVT PWM single-phase rectifier. The ZVT soft switching are achieved by using a simple ZVT circuit, and the reduced conduction losses are achieved by employing a single-stage converter, instead of a typical double-stage converter composed of front end diode rectifier and cascaded boost rectifier. Furthermore, thanks to good features such as simple PWM control at constant frequency, low switch stress and low VAR rating of commutation circuits, it is suitable for high power applications. The principle of operation is explained in detail, and simulation results of the new converter are also included.

오늘날 산업이 발전 할수록 고효율의 전력변환 시스템이 요구되고, 이를 구현하기 위해서는 스위칭 주파수를 높여야 하지만 스위칭 주파수를 높이면 비례적으로 스위칭 손실은 증가하게 되는 문제점이 있다. 때문에 고효율 전력변환 시스템을 구현하기 위해 스위칭 시 손실저감을 위해 소프트 스위칭 기법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스위칭 손실 저감을 위해 보조스위치를 설치하여 소프트 스위칭이 가능한 부스트 컨버터를 제안하였으며, PSIM을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

A family of non-isolated DC-DC three-port converters (TPCs) that allows for a more flexible power flow among a renewable energy source, an energy storage device and a current-reversible DC bus is introduced. Most of the reported non-isolated topologies in this area consider only a power consuming load. However, for applications such as hybrid-electric vehicle braking systems and DC microgrids, the load power generating capability should also be considered. The proposed three-port family consists of one unidirectional port and two bi-directional ports. Hence, they are well-suited for photovoltaic (PV)-battery-DC bus systems from the power flow viewpoint. Three-port converters are derived by combining different commonly known power converters in an integrated manner while considering the voltage polarity, voltage levels among the ports and the overall voltage conversion ratio. The derived converter topologies are able to allow for seven different modes of operation among the sources and load. A three-port converter which integrates a boost converter with a buck converter is used as a design example. Extensions of these topologies by combining the soft-switching technique with the proposed design example are also presented. Experiment results are given to verify the proposed three-port converter family and its analysis.

A new three-phase soft-switching active front-end inverter is presented. The topology consists of a quasi-resonant PWM boost converter with an additional resonant branch, which provides low loss at high frequency operation. This leads to a high conversion efficiency and a remarkable reduction in the siBe of the input inductor. To synchronise the PWM pattern with the resonance cycle, a modified space vector modulation with asymmetrical PWM pattern is used. A high power factor can be achieved for both power flow directions. Due to a new control strategy the converter features a low content of harmonics in the line currents even for distorted line voltages.

This paper proposes a new zero-current transition (ZCT) pulse-width modulation (PWM) switch cell that overcomes the limitations of the conventional ZCT converters. The proposed ZCT cell provides zero-current-switching (ZCS) condition for the main switch and the auxiliary switch. The conduction loss and current stress of the main switch are minimized, since the circulating current for the soft switching does not flow through the main switch. The proposed ZCT PWM switch cell is suitable for the high power applications employing IGBTs. Design guidelines with a design example are described and verified by experimental results from the 1 kW prototype boost converter operating at 70kHz.

This paper presents a single phase high power factor PWM boost rectifier featuring soft commutat -ion of the active switches at zero current. It incorporates the most desirable properties of conventional PWM and soft switching resonant techniques. The input current shaping is achieved with average current mode control and continuous inductor current mode. This new PWM converter provides zero current turn on and turn off of the active switches, and it is suitable for high power applications employing IGBT's. The principle of operation, the theoretical analysis, a design example, and experi -mental results from a laboratory prototype rated at 1.6[kW] with 400[Vdc] output voltage are presented. The measured efficiency and the power factor were 96.2[%] and 0.99[%], respectively, with an input current THD equal to 3.94[%], for an input voltage with THD equal to 3.8[%], at rated load.
