새로운 개념의 인버터로서 종래의 인버터의 직류부에 공진회로를 설치하여 직류와 교류를 공진 DC 링크로 접속하는 방식이다. 공진동작으로 링크부의 전압이 명이되는 것을 이용하여 인버터의 PSD를 ZVSAT킨다. (PSD = Power Switching Device)전압공진형은 ZVS가 가능하나 어느 정도의 전류를 OFF할 필요가 있기 때문에 비교적 TURN OFF의 속도가 빠른 MOSFET, SIT, IGBT등의 PSD를 이용하여 수십 kHz의 스위칭 을 한다. 여기에 대하여 전류공진형은 ZCS(Zero Current State)가 가능하게 되고 OFF하는 전류도 작게되기 때문에 TURN OFF가 늦은 BJT와 GTO. IGBT 싸이리스터 등의 TURN OFF 시간이 꾀 짧은 것들을 이용하여 수십 kHz의 스위칭이 가능하게 된다. 이들 PSD는 대용량화에 적합하여 대용량 전력변환기에의 적용이 시도되고 있다. 여기에서는 이들 인버터에 관하여 기본적인 동작원리와 제어방식을 중심으로 설명한다. 또한 공진형 방식의 결점인 전압과 전류의 피크치를 저감하는 전압 Clamp식에 관하여도 기술한다.

This paper describes a new dc-ac inverter system which for achieving sinusoidal ac waveform makes use of parallel loaded high frequency resonant inverter consisting of full bridge. Each one of the pair of switches in the inverter is driven to synchronous output frequency and the other is driven to PWM signal with resonant frequency proportional to magnitude of sine wave. A forced discontinuous conduction mode is used to realize the quasi-sinusoidal pulse in each switching period. Therefore the inverter generates sinusoidal modulated output voltage including carrier frequency that is resonant frequency. Carrier frequency components of modulated output voltage is filtered by low pass filter. Since current through switches is always zero at its turn-on in the proposed inverter, low stress and low switching loss is achieved. Operating characteristics of the proposed system is analyzed in per unit system using computer simulation. The output voltage of if includes low harmonics and it is almost close to sine wave. Also, the theoretical analysis is proved through the experimental test.

This paper presents a high-frequency boost type ZVS-PWM chopper-fed DC-DC power converter with a single active auxiliary edge-resonant snubber at the load stage which can be designed for power conditioners such as solar photovoltaic generation, fuel cell generation, battery and super capacitor energy storages. Its principle operation in steady-state is described in addition to a prototype setup. The experimental results of boost type ZVS-PWM chopper proposed here, are evaluated and verified with a practical design model in terms of its switching voltage and current waveforms, the switching v-i trajectory and the temperature performance of IGBT module, the actual power conversion efficiency, and the EMI of radiated and conducted emissions, and then discussed and compared with the hard switching scheme from an experimental point of view. Finally, this paper proposes a practical method to suppress parasitic oscillation due to the active auxiliary resonant switch at ZCS turn-off mode transition with the aid of an additional lossless clamping diode loop, and can be reduced the EMI conducted emission.

A new soft switching three-phase PWM rectifier with simple circuit configuration and high efficiency has been developed. The proposed circuit is a kind of the auxiliary resonant commutated Pole(ARCP)converter The conventional ARCP converter requires three-auxiliary reactors and six-auxiliary switches for the soft switching auxiliary circuit and for these switching elements, a gate drive circuit and a control circuit are required, resulting in high part as a disadvantage. In the main circuit proposed in this paper, the auxiliary soft switching circuit is composed of two-auxiliary reactors, two-auxiliary switches and several diodes. In addition, common use of the PWM control circuit for two-switches will make the control circuit of the auxiliary switches simple. By means of function of the soft switching auxiliary circuit, the main switching element performs zero voltage switching operation and the auxiliary switches perform the zero current switching. In this paper, the circuit configuration and the operational analysis of the proposed circuit are described at first and then, experimental results will be reported. By using a prototype with 5[kW] capacity, the conversion efficiency of maximum $98.8[\%]$ and the power factor of $99[\%]$ or higher were obtained.

A technique to suppress the low frequency ripple voltage of the DC output in three phase buck diode converter is presented in this paper. The proposed pulse frequency modulation methods and duty ratio modulation methods are employed to regulate the output voltage of the buck diode converter and guarantee zero-current-switching(ZCS) of the switch over the wide load range. The proposed control methods used in this paper provide generally good performance such as low THD of the input line current and unity power factor. In addition, control methods can be effectively used to suppress the low frequency ripple voltage appeared in the dc output voltage. The harmonic injection technique illustrates its validity and effectiveness through the simulations and experiments.

A DC-DC Converter operates in CCM(Continuous Coundcution Mode), DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode), CRM(Critical Conduction Mode). The CRM is boundary between CCM and DCM. If a DC-DC converter is designed to operate in CRM, its inductor volume can decrease and power loss which caused by switch and diode can decrease. In this paper, the DC-DC converter which operates in CRM is applied to a solar array regulator(SAR) for the satellite. The switching frequency of the CRM boost SAR changes according to input and output condition. The switching frequency limit logic is applied to limit the maximum switching frequency. Meanwhile, the small signal transfer function of the CRM boost SAR is simple, so the controller design is also simple. In this paper, the small signal transfer function from control reference to solar array voltage is induced. And the voltage controller is designed based on the small signal transfer function. Finally, the CRM boost SAR is verified by simulation.

Aiming at the problems of large dv/dt and di/dt in traditional single-ended converters and high electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise levels, a single-ended isolated converter using the secondary resonance technique is proposed in this paper. In the proposed converter, the voltage stress of the main power switch can be reduced and the voltage across the output diode is clamped to the output voltage when compared to the conventional flyback converter. In addition, the peak current stress through the main power switch can be decreased and zero current switching (ZCS) of the output diode can be achieved through the resonance technique. Moreover, the EMI noise coupling path and an equivalent model of the proposed converter topology are presented through the operational principle of the proposed converter. Analysis results indicate that the common mode (CM) EMI noise and the differential mode (DM) EMI noise of such a converter are deduced since the frequency spectra of the equivalent controlled voltage sources and controlled current source are decreased when compared with the traditional flyback converter. Furthermore, appropriate parameter selection of the resonant circuit network can increase the equivalent impedance in the EMI coupling path in the low frequency range, which further reduces the common mode interference. Finally, a simulation model and a 60W experimental prototype of the proposed converter are built and tested. Experimental results verify the theoretical analysis.
