This paper presents a novel high frequency transformer linked full-bridge type soft-switching phase-shift PWM control scheme DC-DC power converter, which can be used as power conditioner fur small-scale fuel cell power generation system. Using full-bridge soft-switching DC-DC converter topology makes possible to use low voltage high performance MOSFETs to achieve high efficiency of the power conditioner. A tapped inductor filter is implemented in the proposed soft-switching converter topology to achieve soft-switching PWM constant high frequency operation for a wide load variation range. to minimize circulating and idling currents without using additional resonant circuit and auxiliary power switching devices. The practical effectiveness of the proposed soft-switching DC-DC converter is verified in laboratory level experiment with 1 kW 100kHz breadboard setup using power MOSFETs. Actual efficiency of 94-96$\%$ is obtained for the wide load range

This paper presents a new circuit topology of high-frequency soft switching commutation boost type PWM chopper-fed DC-DC power converter with a loadside auxiliary passive resonant snubber. In the proposed boost type chopper-fed DC-DC power converter circuit operating under a principle of ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutation, the capacitor and inductor in the auxiliary passive resonant circuit works as the lossless resonant snubber. In addition to this, the voltage and current peak stresses of the power semiconductor devices as well as their di/dt or dv/dt dynamic stress can be effectively reduced by the single passive resonant snubber treated here. Moreover, it is proved that chopper-fed DC-DC power converter circuit topology with an auxiliary passive resonant snubber could solve some problems on the conventional boost type hard switching PWM chopper-fed DC-DC power converter. The simulation results of this converter are illustrated and discussed as compared with the experimental ones. The feasible effectiveness of this soft witching DC-DC power converter with a single passive resonant snubber is verified by the 5kW, 20kHz experimental breadboard set up to be built and tested for new energy utilization such as solar photovoltaic generators and fuel sell generators.

This paper proposes a zero-voltage-transition pulse-width modulation (PWM) DC-DC converter that uses a new active-snubber-cell. The converter main switch can be turned on and off with ZVS, while the snubber switch is turned on with ZCS and turned off with ZVS. Other semiconductor devices are operated under the soft-switching condition. Normal PWM control can be used, the proposed active-snubber-cell does not impose any additional voltage and current stresses. The active-snubber-cell is suitable for high-power applications due to its easy integration into interleaved converters. This paper discusses the operation of the converter, presents some design guidelines, and provides the results of an experiment with a 100 kHz and 1 kW prototype. A peak efficiency of 97.8% is recorded.

This paper presents a prototype of three-phase current source zero voltage soft-switching PWM controlled PFC rectifier with Single Active Auxiliary Resonant Commutated Snubber (ARCS) circuit topology. The proposed three-phase PFC rectifier with sinewave current shaping and unity power factor scheme can operate under a condition of Zero Voltage Soft Switching (ZVS) in the main three phase rectifier circuit and zero current soft switching (ZCS) in auxiliary snubber circuits. The operating principle and steady-state performances of the proposed three-phase current source soft-switching PWM controlled PFC rectifier controlled by the DSP control implementation are evaluated and discussed on the basis of the experimental results of this active rectifier setup.

본 논문에서는 새로운 무손실 스너버 회로를 설계하여 적용한 PWM-PFC 스텝-업 컨버터에 대해 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 전류불연속 제어모드에 의해 제어회로 구성이 간단하고 회로 구성소자의 용량을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 입력전류는 스위치의 듀티율 일정제어에 의한 교류 입력전압의 크기에 비례한 불연속적인 펄스열의 정현파상으로 된다. 그 결과 입력역률은 거의 단위역률로 주어지고 듀티율 일정제어에 의해서 제안된 컨버터는 제어기법이 간단하게 된다. 일반적으로 입력전류 불연속제어에 의한 컨버터의 경우, 사용된 스위치의 턴-온 동작은 영전류 스위칭으로 되는 장점이 있지만, 스위치의 턴-오프 동작은 최대 전류에서 스위칭되어 스위칭 손실을 증대시키고 스위치의 과중한 스트레스를 가져오게 된다. 이것은 컨버터의 효율을 저하 시키는 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 부분공진 회로로 동작되는 새로운 무손실 스너버 회로를 설계하여 스위치들의 턴-온, 턴-오프 동작을 소프트 스위칭으로 만들어 컨버터의 효율을 더욱 증대시킨다 제안된 PWM-PFC 스텝-업 컨버터는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 그 타당성이 입증된다.

본 논문에서 액티브 스너버 회로를 가진 영전압 변환 펄스 폭 변조(ZVT-PWM) 컨버터를 제안하였다. 제안된 컨버터는 경부하 상태에서도 동작하며, 영전압 스위칭과 영전류 스위칭 부근에서 온-오프 되며, 주 스위치와 주다이오드에 전압과 전류의 스트레스가 추가적으로 발생하지 않는다. 그리고 보조 스위치와 보조 다이오드의 전압과 전류 허용 레벨을 제시하였다. 제안된 750[W], 80[KHz] PWM 부스터 컨버터는 전 출력 전력에서 소프트 스위칭 컨버터를 적용하여 실행한 결과 주 스위치에서의 손실은 하드 스위칭과 비교해서 약 27[%], 전체 회로 손실은 약 36[%] 저감되었으며, 전체 효율은 기존의 컨버터보다 보다 6{%] 정도 향상됨을 확인하였다.

A novel zero voltage and zero current switching (ZVZCS) full bridge (FB) PWM converter with low output current ripple is presented. A simple auxiliary circuit added in the secondary provides ZVZCS conditions to primary switches, ZVS for leading-leg switches and ZCS for lagging-leg switches, as well as reduces the output current ripple (ideally zero ripple). The auxiliary circuit includes neither lossy components nor additional active switches which are demerits of the previously presented ZVZCS converters. Many advantages including simple circuit topology, high efficiency, low cost and low current ripple make the new converter attractive for high performance high power (＞1kW) applications. The principle of operation, features and design considerations are illustrated and verified on a 2.5kW, 100KHz IGBT based experimental circuit.

현재 학계에서는 신재생 에너지에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 그 중 태양광과 풍력이 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Push-Pull 컨버터를 기초한 전류형 PWM 인버터를 제안하고 계통 연계가 가능한 회로로의 타당성을 검증하였다. 스위칭 소자 중 Push-Pull컨버터부의 두 개의 스위치만 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation)을 행하고 계통과 연결된 Full-Bridge의 스위치는 계통의 극성을 판단하여 Auto-ZCS (Zero Current Switching)가 가능하도록 설계하였다.

In this paper an Improved Zero Voltage Zero Current Pulse Width Modulation Forward converter which employs a simple resonance snubber circuit is introduced. A simple snubber circuit consists of a capacitor, an inductor and two diodes. In proposed converter, switch Q1 operates at ZCS turn-on, and ZVS turn-off conditions and all-passive semiconductor devices operate at ZVZCS turn-on and turn-off state. The proposed converter is analyzed and various operating modes of the ZVZCS-PWM forward converter are discussed. Analysis and design considerations are presented and the prototype experimental results of a 100w (40 V/2.5A) proposed converter operating at 30 KHz switching frequency confirm the validity of theoretical analysis.
