본 논문에서는 대용량 출력에 적합한 Three-Level 컨버터에 대하여 논하였다. 전력 변환 시스템에서 에너지의 저장, 변환, 전기적 절연 및 필터 등을 위한 자성체의 적절한 설계는 매우 중요하다. 제안된 Three-Level 컨버터는 출력단 인덕터와 변압기의 결합을 통하여 자성체의 수를 저감하였다. 본 연구에서는 Three-Level 컨버터에서 자기회로 해석을 기반으로한 릴럭턴스 모델을 제안하고자 한다. 또한, 단일 코어 변압기 결선에 의한 2차측 정류방식에 대하여 논하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 IGBT를 사용하여 입력 540[V], 출력 48[V], 3[kW]급 시스템을 제작했으며 40[kHz]에서 실험하였다.

In this paper, implementation of an integrated transformer applicable to power supply units (PSUs) for a 150-W LED with a wide range of output voltage is presented. The transformer is comprised of a PFC inductor and an LLC resonant transformer, each of which is placed and integrated on an E-I-E-type magnetic core. Integrated transformers with two different air gap topologies (i.e., the side and center gap topologies) are considered in the design phase to investigate their applicability. The design consideration on the LLC resonant converter used for the wide-output-voltage control ranges is described, and the overall performance of the proposed system is verified through realization of it onto a 150-W LED PSU board.

An integrated magnetic (IM) transformer is proposed for a phase shifted full bridge (PSFB) converter with zero voltage switching (ZVS). In a proposed IM transformer, the transformer is located on the center leg of E-core and the output inductor is wound on two outer legs with air gap. The proposed IM transformer is analyzed by using the magnetic capacitor model. For reducing the core size, EE core is redesigned. The proposed IM transformer is experimentally verified on a 1.2 kW prototype converter. The converter efficiency with the proposed IM transformer is about 93 % at full load and its volume size can be reduced. It can be expected that the power density can be largely increased with the proposed IM transformer.

The depletion of natural resources and renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy, has been highlighted for global energy solution. The PV power control unit in the PV power-generation technology requires a high step-up DC-DC converter. The conventional step-up DC-DC converter has low efficiency and limited step-up ratio. To overcome these problems, a novel high step-up DC-DC converter using an isolated switched capacitor cell is proposed. The step-up converter uses the proposed transformer and employs the switched-capacitor cell to enable integration with the boost inductor. The output of the boost converter and isolated switched-capacitor cell are connected in series to obtain high step-up with low turn-on ratio. A hardware prototype with 30 V to 40 V input voltage and 340 V output voltage is implemented to verify the performance of the proposed converter. As an extended version, another novel high step-up isolated switched-capacitor single-ended DC-DC converter integrated with a tapped-inductor (TI) boost converter is proposed. The TI boost converter and isolated-switched-capacitor outputs are connected in series to achieve high step-up. All magnetic components are integrated in a single magnetic core to lower costs. A prototype hardware with 20 V to 40 V input voltage, 340 V output voltage, and 100 W output power is implemented to verify the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper presents a new soft switching dc-to-dc converter that employs IM transformer. Detailed analysis and design considerations of the proposed circuits are presented. By applying the proposed magnetic integration procedure, new integrated magnetic circuits featuring low loss, simple structure are then developed to overcome the limitations of prior art. Consequently, the power loss and the size of the integrated magnetic device are greatly reduced. The operation and performance of the proposed converter are demonstrated with an experimental converter that delivers a 5V/5A output from a 48V input at the maximum efficiency of 90 %.

푸시 풀 포워드 컨버터는 넓은 입력범위에서 저전압 대전류 특성이 좋고 싱글 EI-EE 코어에 출력 인덕터와 변압기 그리고 입력 필터 등 모든 자성소자들을 포함시킴으로써 집적화할 수 있다. 회로의 여러 변수들에 대한 효율 비교를 통해서 집적화된 싱글 코어 푸시 풀 포워드 컨버터에 대해 고찰하였다. 푸시 풀 포워드 컨버터의 변압기는 Nicera사의 5M FEE 18/8/10C와 NC-2H FEI32/8/10C 코어를 이용하였다. 컨버터의 정격은 입력 전압 $36\~72V$이며 출력은 3.3V, 30A이다. NC-2H FEI32/8/10C코어를 사용하였을 경우 스위칭 주파수가 200kHz이고 부하가 11A일 때 $83.5\%$의 최고 효율이 측정되었다. 전부하(full load)시의 효율은 $76.4\%$, 반부하(half load)일 경우에는 $82.95\%$의 효율이 각각 측정 됐다.
