As well known, a solar cell has an optimal operating point to be able to get the maximum power $P_{max}$. So, many $P_{max}$ tracking controllers using the line voltage of a solar cell have been popularly used. But it may vary depending on the miss match between the solar cell output and the load. In this paper, we investigate the possibilities of $P_{max}$ control using the current tracking controller and the output voltage and the output current instead of the solar cell output power. And we also examine about the optimal power converter using ZVCS step up and down chopper circuit to operate the solar cell at an optimal voltage using these variables. And then, we show some experimental results to confirm the successful operation.

최근 DC-DC 초퍼의 소형경량화 및 저소음화를 위해서 초퍼에 사용한 전력용 반도체 스위치의 스위칭 주파수를 증대시키고 있다. 이에 따른 스위칭 손실의 증대는 초퍼의 효율을 상당히 감소시키는 요인으로 주어진다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 초퍼에 사용한 반도체 스위치의 턴-온, 턴-오프를 소프트 스위칭(영전류 또는 영전압 스위칭)으로 동작시켜 스위칭 손실을 최소화하는 새로운 고효율의 DC-DC 초퍼를 제안한다. 제안한 초퍼의 소프트 스위칭 동작은 스위치의 동작 시점에 부분공진 회로가 형성되어 인덕터의 전류와 커패시터의 전압이 영으로 될 때 스위치를 동작시키는 부분공진 기법이 적용된다. 또한 제안한 초퍼에 적용된 부분공진 회로는 승압용으로 사용한 인덕터와 스너버 커패시터에 의해 설계되어 초퍼의 회로 토폴로지가 간단하다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 통해 제안한 DC-DC 초퍼의 타당성이 입증된다.

The power conversion system must be increased switching frequency in order to achieve a small size, a light weight and a low noise. This paper proposes a skillful and a concise PWM DC-DC converter employing both zero voltage and zero current high frequency switching(ZVCS) operation. The Proposal ZVCS circuit is composed with resonant circuit using active resonant condenser. And this circuit provides switches with ZVS and ZCS by quasi resonant only that switching transients appear. This operation results in reduction of stress and losses in the power devices and resonant components. Some simulation results are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.

Power conversion system of high performance requires high switching frequency power converter. In order to minimize commutation stress and switching losses, in this paper, AC-DC converter is embedded a partial resonant DC-Link circuit with the object of ZVCS(zero voltage switching and zero current switching). The partial resonant occurs just before converter switch operates. Thus, VA ratings of the elements and their dissipations due to effective series resistance (ESR) are very low. Some simulative results on computer are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.

With today's global environmental and energy problems, high expectations exist for solar power generation to reduce carbon dioxide generated by the consumption of fossil fuels. On the other hand, power consumption in residential homes is increasing every year. Among the many household appliances, the power demand for air conditioners increases dramatically during the summer, particularly in the afternoons. As this pattern closely matches the output pattern of solar cells, it should be possible to combine a photovoltaic array with an air conditioner to decrease the energy consumption within the home. We have developed a residential solar-powered air conditioner that operates through a combination of photovoltaic array and commercial power. In this paper, the configuration and specification of the residential solar-powered system are described to a novel high efficiency inverter using a ZVCS boost converter. And the performance evaluations of the solar-powered air conditioner are examined by the analysis of a new tracking controller with a maximum power $P_{max}$ detection of solar cell.

Rectifiers of power conversion system are widely used condenser at input to be cheap and to be simple construction. But this method is produced harmonics of pulse at peak value of input AC voltage. The main circuit which make input current of a sinusoidal wave and improve power-factor is almost taken step-up converter. This paper is able to obtain high power-factor and efficiency because the input current is made sinusoidal wave in single phase alternating current(AC) source. Also the proposed converter is able to minimize switching loss by ZVCS(zero voltage switching and zero current switching).
