A 6.5 V/50 kA high-frequency switching power supply (HSPS) system composed of 10 power modules is developed to meet the requirements of copper-foil electrolysis. The power module is composed of a two-leg pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier and a DC/DC converter. The DC/DC converter adopts two full-wave rectifiers in parallel to enhance the output. For the two-leg PWM rectifier, the ripple of the DC-link voltage is derived. A composite control method with a ripple filter is then proposed to effectively improve the performance of the rectifier. To meet the process demand of copper-foil electrolysis, the virtual impedance-based current-sharing control method with load current full feedforward is proposed for n-parallel DC/DC converters. The roles of load current feedforward and virtual impedance are analyzed, and the current-sharing control model of the HSPS system is derived. Virtual impedance is used to adjust the current-sharing impedance without changing the equivalent output impedance, which can effectively reduce current-sharing errors. Finally, simulation and experimental results verify the structure and control method.

In order to improve the quality of the billet continuous casting, a two-phase orthogonal power supply (TPOPS) for electromagnetic stirrer is researched, which is composed of three-phase PWM rectifier and three-leg inverter. According to the power analysis of system, the ripple of dc-link voltage is analyzed and its analytical expression is derived. In order to improve the performance of electromagnetic stirring, an integrated control method with feedforward control is proposed for PWM rectifier to suppress the fluctuations of dc-link voltage and provide a stable dc source for inverter. According to the simplified equivalent model, a composite current control method is proposed for inverter. This proposed method can combine the merits of feedforward control with feedback control to effectively improve the dynamic output performance of TPOPS. Finally, a 300kVA prototype of TPOPS is developed, and the results have verified the analysis and control method.

The two-transformer full bridge (TTFB) PWM converter has two transformers which act as the output inductor as well as the main transformer, i.e. as the forward and the flyback transformer. Although the doubled leakage inductor of the TTFB makes it easier to achieve the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of the lagging leg switch along the wide load range, it instigates a serious voltage ringing in the secondary rectifier diodes, which would require the dissipative snubber circuit, cause the serious power dissipation, and increase the voltage stress across those diodes. To overcome these problems, a, new lossless diode-clamp rectifier (LDCR) is employed as the output rectifier, which helps the voltage across rectifier diodes to be clamped on a half the output voltage $(V_o/2)$ or the output voltage $(V_o)$. Therefore, no dissipative snubber for rectifier diodes is needed and a high efficiency as well as low noise output voltage can be realized. The operations, analysis and design consideration of proposed converter are presented in this paper. To verify the validity of the proposed converter, experimental results from a 425W, 385-170Vdc prototype for the plasma display panel (PDP) sustaining power module (PSPM) are presented.

본 논문에서는 출력 전압의 리플을 이용하여 지상 레그(lagging leg)의 스위치들의 영전류 스위칭(ZCS)을 수행하는 두 개의 트랜스포머를 가지는 위상천이 풀-브릿지 컨버터를 제안하다. 제안된 컨버터는 진상 레그(leading leg)의 스위치들은 영전압 스위칭(ZVS)을 수행하고, 지상 레그의 스위치들은 출력 전압-더블러(Voltage-Doubler)의 전압 리플차를 이용해 출력 다이오드의 전류 전환(commutation)이 빠르게 이루어지도록 하여서 중부하에는 영전류 스위칭을, 경부하에서는 영전압 스위칭을 가능하게 한다. 또한 출력측의 전압 리플차를 이용하기 때문의 기존의 1차측 부스트 캐패시터를 이용하는 컨버터에 비해 턴비를 이용하여 보다 빠른 전류 전환을 수행할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 따라서 별도의 추가적인 소자없이 모든 스위치의 소프트스위칭이 가능하도록 하고, 지상 레그의 영전류 스위칭을 통해서 환류구간의 순환전류도 없애줌으로써 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 모드 해석과 실험을 통하여 제안 컨버터의 성능을 검증한다.

본 논문은 소형 풍력발전용 영구자석형 동기발전기에서 고정자 자속과 역기전력을 이용한 센서리스 제어방법을 제안한다. 기존의 다이오드와 DC-부스트 컨버터를 사용한 소형 풍력발전용 컨버터와는 달리 2-Leg 3상 PWM 컨버터를 사용하여 발전기를 구동한다. 이는 기존의 컨버터와 비교하여 가격적으로 뒤지지 않으며, 발전기의 벡터제어가 가능하여 최대출력 제어시 발전 효율향상을 확인할 수 있다. 그리고 센서리스 제어 알고리즘을 적용하여 속도 측정을 위해 사용되는 엔코더를 제거하므로 시스템의 가격을 저감시킨다. 제안된 알고리즘은 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 컨버터 제어 성능과 발전기의 최대 출력 제어의 타당성을 검증한다.

A three-leg inverter-type isolated DC-DC Converter that can use 220 and 440 V grid input voltages is introduced. The secondary circuit structure of the proposed topology is center-tap, which is the same as the conventional phase-shifted full-bridge converter. However, the primary circuit structure is composed of a three-leg inverter structure and a transformer, in which two primary windings are connected in series. The proposed circuit structure has a wider input voltage range than the conventional phase-shifted full-bridge converter, and the circulating-current on the primary-side is reduced. In addition, the voltage stress at the secondary rectifier is greatly improved, and high efficiency can be achieved at a high input voltage by removing the snubber circuit added to the conventional converter. Prototype converters with input DC of 311 V, output of 622 V, and 50 V and 6 kW class specifications were designed and manufactured to verify the validity of the proposed topology; the experimental results are presented.
