최근 전기 자동차 배터리의 전하 균일 장치의 관심이 증가됨에 따라 제어가 간단하며 비교적 적은 소자를 통한 개별 전하 균일 장치 개발의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 직렬 연결된 리튬 이온 배터리를 위한 개별 셀 전하 균일 장치를 제안한다. 이 장치는 하나의 공통된 인버터 동작을 공유하면서 개별로 나눠진 트렌스포머를 간단한 제어 동작을 통해 선택적으로 동작 시키는 방식을 사용한다. 이 구조를 통해 제안하는 전하 균일 장치는 전하 균일 전류를 제어함에 있어 간단한 구조와 제어 방법을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 대용량 배터리를 위한 큰 전하 균일 전류를 얻음에 있어 제안 회로는 신뢰성 있는 적은 수의 회로 소자 수를 가진다. 이 논문에서는 제안하는 장치의 회로와 동작 방법을 설명하면서, 8 개 리튬 이온 배터리를 위한 전하 균일 실험을 통해 제안 장치의 전하 균일 성능을 증명한다.

The modular line-connected photovoltaic PCS (power conditioning system) is proposed. The proposed system consists of a step-up DC-DC converter and a full-bridge inverter. A step-up DC-DC converter using a dual series-resonant rectifier circuit and a active-clamp circuit is proposed to achieve a high efficiency and a high input-output voltage ratio efficiently. An IncCond (incremental conductance) MPPT (maximum power point tracking) algorithm that improves MPPT characteristic is used. By control a inverter using a linearized output current controller, a unity power factor is achieved. All algorithms and controllers are implemented on a single-chip microcontroller and the superiority of the proposed algorithms and controllers is proved by experiments.

이 논문에서는 연료전지용 3상 전류형 능동 클램프 DC/DC 컨버터의 기동 방법을 제안하고, 정상상태에서 컨버터의 출력 전압 및 입력 전류 제어기를 설계하였다. 3상 전류형 능동 클램프 DC/DC 컨버터는 가동시 클램프 전압과 출력 전압의 차로 인해 스위치 및 변압기 전선에 큰 단락 전류가 흐르는 단점이 있다. 그러므로 가동시 입력 인덕터에 2차 권선을 감아 플라이백방식을 이용하여 출력 전압을 확립시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 정상 상태에서 출력 전압 및 입력 전류 제어를 위해 두 개의 종속 연결 PI 제어기를 설계하였다. 전압 제어 이득의 시정수가 전류 제어 이득의 시정수보다 크게 함으로써 제어기의 안정도를 향상시켰다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 기동 방법을 확인하였다. 500w급 컨버터를 제작하였고, 실험을 통해 설계한 제어기의 성능을 확인하였다.

A parallel-resonant converter with zero-voltage-switching, pulse-width-modulation(ZVS-PWM) control is proposed. Similar to the previously proposed series-resonant counterpart, it has a simple structure and can be controlled at a constant switching frequency using an active-clamp technique. The nearly constant current output characteristic of the parallel-resonant converter lends itself beneficially to precisely controlled constant current power supply applications. An experimental breadboard featured an accuracy of $\pm$1% for an output current of 2A, with an efficiency of 75%.

This paper presented the power losses comparison results with the Active clamp Forward, the Asymmetrical half bridge and the Two transistor forward converters. To estimate for conduction losses in the converters, the steady state analysis regard to parasitic resistance and current effective values for main parts of converters was derived. In addition, the theoretical efficiency for the converters with input voltage 400V, output voltage 12V and maximum power 480W was discussed.

New 42-volt automotive electrical systems can provide significant improvements in vehicle performance and fuel economy. It is crucial to provide protection against load dump and other overvoltage transients in 42-volt systems. While advanced active control techniques are generally considered capable of providing such protection, the use of passive transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices as a secondary or supplementary protection means can significantly improve design flexibility and reduce system costs. This paper examines the needs and options for passive TVS devices for 42-volt applications. The limitations of the commonly available automotive TVS devices, such as Zener diodes and metal oxide varistors (MOV), are analyzed and reviewed. A new TVS device concept, based on power MOSFET and thin-film polycrystalline silicon back-to-back diode technology, is proposed to provide a better control on the clamp voltage and meet the new 42-volt specification. Both experimental and modeling results are presented. Issues related to the temperature dependence and energy absorbing capability of the new TVS device are discussed in detail. It is concluded that the proposed TVS device provides a cost-effective solution for load dump protection in 42-volt systems.

In this paper, the design and implementation of a high power(300W) forward converter using a planar transformer is presented. The overall size and volume of the converter is decreased by replacing a planar transformer in stead of using a conventional winding transformer. Due to the decreased size and volume, power density of the applied forward converter is increased. Also, in this paper, the 300W ZVS forward converter with active clamp snubber circuit is compared to the 300W hard switching forward converter.

Recently, a fuel cell with low voltage and high current of electronic output characteristics is remarkable for new generation system. It needs both a dc-dc boost converter and do-ac inverter to be used in domestic power. Therefore, this paper presents do-dc boost converter with ZVS for fuel cell generation system This topology has several advantages, which are ZVS characteristics of all of main and auxiliary switches, reduction of reactor component size because of high frequency switching, and low rated voltage stress of the switches. In this paper, theoretical analysis, operation principle, and design procedures are presented. And simulation results from Pspice are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.

This paper describes the open frame type high power density switching converter. It is based on active clamp forward converter with synchronous rectifier, and packaged by using the open frame and multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB) techniques to achieve the high power density.

This paper suggests switching regulator technique to overcome the drawback of conventional variable linear power supply. Switching regulator technique can eliminate the extremely lossy operation and reduce the size and weight of variable linear power supply and provide nearly constant output power over the majority of output voltage range. The topology of variable switched mode power supply is employed active clamp forward converter with a current doubler rectifier and by using control of variable-frequency together with control of fixed-frequency, output voltage can be controled. Equivalent circuits pertinent to each operational mode of converter are derived, and an experimental 20V, 50A converter was designed and built. The converter operates from an output voltage of zero to 25 V, under 100 kHz switching frequency.
