This paper is to describe how to apply the Phase-shifted Full Bridge 100kHz high frequency soft-switching PWM method to 48[V], 200[A] DC/DC converter. The soft-switching is achieved from light load to full load by using phase-shifted zero voltage switching method with additional capacitors besides the MOSPET's of the right leg even though the leakage inductance of high frequency transformer is designed small. This method can reduce the switching tosses, EMI problems, and increase the effective duty. Also, this paper includes the simulation, analysis, and experiment results of the DC/DC converter unit.

This paper proposes a multicast packet-switching method which can less affect QoS degradation. The method includes a switch fabric with extra switching paths dedicated for multicast packets. Presented also are both a buffering structure and a scheduling algorithm for the proposed method. Simulation analysis for the method shows that the switching delay of unicast packets is decreased even though arrival rate of multicast packets is increased.

The switched reluctance motor(SRM) has a considerable potential for industrial applications because of its high reliability as a result of the absence of rotor windings. In some applications with SRM, a parallel switching strategy is often used for cost saving, increasing of current capacity and system reliability. This paper proposes a new parallel switching strategy of SRM using parallel winding. While conventional parallel switching devices are connected in a phase winding, power devices are connected in the parallel windings wound in each pole of stator in the proposed method. Paralleling strategy for current sharing in the proposed method can be easily determined without considerations of any nonlinear characteristics of power devices such as conduction resistance, threshold voltage and gain factor. The proposed paralleling strategy is verified by the mathematical analysis and experimental results.

Authors propose a PFC(power factor correction) Buck-Boost AC-DC converter by soft switching method. The proposed converter for a discontinuous conduction mode eliminates the complicated control requirement and reduces the size of components. The input current waveform in the converter is got to be a sinusoidal form of discontinuous pulse in proportion to magnitude of ac input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching.Therefore,the input power factor is nearly unity and the control algorithm is simple. To achieve high efficiency system, the proposed converter is constructed by using a partial resonant technique. The control switches using in the converter are operated with soft switching for a partial resonant. The control switches are operated without increasing their voltage and current stresses by the soft switching method. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of converter is high.

This paper presents a driving method of 3-phase 4-poles SRM(switched reluctance motor) drived by switching angle control. In this study, the switching angle is determined from approximated analysis and computer simulation by using MATLAB for high efficiency according to the speed and torque required by load, and then microcontroller controls the switching angle of asymmetrical inverter in SRM driver. Also, we experiment the maximum forque driving and maximum power driving by controlling switching angle available to electric vehicle.

This paper presents the synchronous soft switching boost converter. It is shown that the proposed converter effectively reduces conduction loss by using MOSFET device in place of diode in the conventional boost converter. Also, this soft switching boost converter can reduce switching loss using ZVS method through resonant inductor and capacitor. The proposed synchronous soft switching boost converter is suitable for PV generation system.

This paper presents a novel series connected DC/DC converter and a proper variable phase shift switching method in order to obtain high voltage ratio for fuel cell system. The proposed series connected DC/DC converter has same rectifier and LC filter for DC output voltage, so it can reduce the number of passive devices regardless of the converter number. In the conventional constant phase shift switching method, the proposed series connected DC converters have inverse bias output voltage. In order to overcome this problem, a simple but proper variable phase shift switching method is proposed in the a novel series connected DC/DC converter. In order to verify the proposed system, simulation and experiments are implemented.

In this paper, configuration of $1-{\phi}$ seven-level boost DC-link cascade based reversing voltage multilevel inverter (BDCLCRV MLI) is proposed for uninterrupted power supply (UPS) applications. It consists of three level boost converter, level generation unit and full bridge circuit for polarity generation. When compared with conventional boost cascaded H-bridge MLI configurations, the proposed system results in reduction of DC sources, reduced power switches and gate drive requirements. Inverter switching is accomplished by providing appropriate switching angles that is generated by any optimization switching angle techniques. Here, round modulation control (RMC) method is taken as the optimization method and switching angles are derived and the same is compared with various switching angles methods i.e., equal-phase (EP) method, and half-equal-phase (HEP) method which results in improved quality of obtained AC power with lowest total harmonic distortion (THD). Reduction in DC sources and switch count makes the system more cost effective. A simulation and prototype model of $1-{\phi}$ seven-level BDCLCRV MLI system is developed and its performance is analyzed for various operating conditions.
