A high efficiency soft switching boost converter is proposed in this paper. The conventional boost converter generates switching losses at turn on and off. Because of those, the whole system efficiency is reduced. The proposed converter utilizes soft switching method using resonant circuit with an auxiliary switch. Therefore, the proposed converter reduces switching losses lower than the hard switching. The proposed soft switching boost converter can be applied to photovoltaic system, power factor correction circuit and etc.

This paper proposes an LLC resonant converter based battery charger which utilizes an adaptive turn ratio scheme to achieve a wide output voltage range and high efficiency. The high frequency transformer of the LLC converter of the proposed strategy has an adaptively changed turn ratio through the auxiliary control circuit. As a result, an optimized converter design with high magnetizing inductance is possible, while minimizing conduction and turn-off losses and providing a regulated voltage gain to properly charge the lithium ion battery. For a step-by-step explanation, operational principle and optimal design considerations of the proposed converter are illustrated in detail. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified through various experimental results and efficiency analysis based on prototype 300W Li-ion battery charger and battery pack.

최근 철도차량용 보조전원장치는 시스템의 경량화를 위해 기존 60Hz 저주파 변압기를 제거하고 고주파 구동과 절연 특성을 갖는 '절연형 dc/dc 컨버터'를 적용하는 구조가 주목받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 '절연형 dc/dc 컨버터를 적용한 보조전원장치 구조'에 대해서 설명하고, 다양한 분석을 통해 보조전원장치의 고효율 및 경량화에 적합한 dc/dc 컨버터 및 구조를 제안하고자 한다. 대용량 IGBT 소자의 고주파 스위칭(경량화)을 위해 필수적인 '영전압-영전류-스위칭'특성을 갖는 '공진형 컨버터'를 활용하여 다양한 보조전원장치용 전력변환장치 구조(1-Stage와 2-Stage)를 제안하였고, 각각의 구조에 적합한 컨버터 회로를 선정한 후 설계 및 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교하였다. 1-Stage 구조의 경우 공진형 컨버터만을 사용하였고, 2-Stage 구조의 경우 공진형 컨버터와 공진형 컨버터의 입력전압 변동을 최소화하는 Pre-regulator를 적용하였다. Pre-regulator로서 감압 컨버터 또는 승압 컨버터를 각각 적용하여 서로 다른 2-Stage 구조를 구성하고 각 방식의 손실을 비교하였다. 회로에 사용되는 소자들의 전압 및 전류 스트레스를 고려하여 소자를 선정하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 동작을 검증하였으며, 손실 분석을 통해 고효율 및 경량화에 가장 적합한 구조 및 회로를 제안하였다.

This paper presents an improved single-stage ac-dc LED-drive flyback converter using the transformer-coupled lossless (TCL) snubber. The proposed converter is derived from the integration of a full-bridge diode rectifier and a conventional flyback converter with a simple TCL snubber. The TCL snubber circuit is composed of only two diodes, a capacitor, and a transformer-coupled auxiliary winding. The TCL snubber limits the surge voltage of the switch and regenerates the energy stored in the leakage inductance of the transformer. Also, the switch of the proposed converter is turned on at a minimum voltage using a formed resonant circuit. Thus, the proposed converter achieves high efficiency. The proposed converter utilizes only one general power factor correction (PFC) control IC as its controller and performs both PFC and output power regulation, simultaneously. Therefore, the proposed converter provides a simple structure and an economic implementation and achieves a high power factor without the need for any separate PFC circuit. In this paper, the operational principle of the proposed converter is explained in detail and the design guideline of the proposed converter is briefly shown. Experimental results for a 40-W prototype are shown to validate the performance of the proposed converter.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the improved reliability and optimal control of the half-bridge inverter for induction heating system. Parasitic inductance components within the inverter circuit for induction heating including the loss-less turn-off snubber capacitor considerably affect stable operation and noise level of the system. This paper analyzes the effect of the inductance in detail and presents a new snubber configuration suitable for the half-bridge inverter to effectively reduce it. In the half-bridge inverter for induction heating the capacity of the loss-less snubber capacitor determines the switching losses because the zero voltage turn-on switching is used. However, the increase of the capacitor is limited by the system specifications, so that it is not easy work to reduce the switching loss. To effectively overcome the limitation, this paper introduces an active auxiliary resonant circuit suitable for the half-bridge inverter circuit, which operates actively according to the variation of load condition. It is also one of the most important study issues for the half-bridge inverter driven induction heater that the development of optimal control scheme considering varied load condition should be achieved. The control strategy ensures a very stable operation of overall inverter system and zero voltage turn-on switching irrespective of sensitive load parameter variations, in particular, even under the non-magnetic materials.

This paper describes a hybrid multi-output three-level DC/DC converter suitable for a wide, high-input voltage range of an auxiliary power supply for a high-power photovoltaic generating system. In a high-power photovoltaic generating system, the solar panel output voltage depends on solar radiation quantity and varies from 450Vdc to 1100Vdc. The proposed hybrid multi-output three-level DC/DC converter, which is an auxiliary power supply, would be used as power source for control printed circuit boards and relay and cooling fans in a high-power photovoltaic generating system. The proposed multi-output ($24V_{DC}/30A$, $230V_{DC}/5A$) hybrid three-level boost converter, which uses an energy recovery snubber, is controlled by variable-frequency and phase-shifted modulations and can achieve zero-voltage switching with all operating conditions of input voltage and load range. Experimental results of a 2kW prototype are evaluated and implemented to verify the performance of the proposed converter.

제안된 회로는 하나의 보조스위치를 이용하여 주 스위치와 정류용 다이오드가 턴-온/턴-오프 시 동시에 영전압과 영전류 조건을 만족시킨다. 그리고 이 회로에 사용되는 주 스위치는 다수 캐리어 소자뿐만 아니라 소수 캐리어 반도체 소자까지 사용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 모든 PWM 컨버터에 적용 가능하다. 그리고 제안된 보조 스위치와 공진회로가 주 전력 경로에 존재하지 않으므로 주 스위치와 다이오드에 더 이상의 전압/전류 스트레스가 없게 된다. 제안된 컨버터의 유효성을 이론적 분석과 실험을 통하여 입증하였다.
