본 논문에서는, 기존의 PAM 인버터와는 달리 저 단가 구현 및 높은 성능을 낼 수 PAM 인버터 구조에 대해 고찰한다. 배터리를 전원으로 사용하는 일반적인 인버터의 경우 초기기동 및 저속운전 영역에서는 배터리 전압으로 인해 전류 및 토크 리플이 크며, 배터리 SOC의 최소치 보다 낮은 역기전력을 갖는 전동기만을 사용할 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 2-스위치 Buck-Boost 컨버터와 4-스위치 인버터로 구성된 새로운 PAM 인버터 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 DC 링크 가변을 통해 역기전력이 낮은 저속운전영역에서는 감압하고 반대로 역기전력이 높은 고속운전영역에서는 승압시킬 수 있어 전류 및 토크 리플을 줄일 수 있다. 마지막으로 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 시스템의 적용 가능성을 검증한다.

In this paper, we proposed the Z-source four-switch three-phase rectifier. As we know, the conventional Four-Switch Three-Phase Rectifier(FSTPR) has advantages of the lower cost and less complex switching control. However, The conventional FSTPR can only either perform buck or boost operation, it can only attain the buck-boost operation by adding another DC-DC converter. In addition, besides its narrow output voltage region, distortion of the input current is serious either. Thus, we proposed the Z-source FSTPR which has buck-boost function and better input current waveform by applying the Z-impedance network to the conventional FSTPR. The validity of the proposed system was confirmed by experiments.

This paper describes a digital implementation of a pulse amplitude modulation(PAM) method for a unity-power-factor buck-booster converter. A digital controller is designed and implemented by a Digital Signal Processor(DSP) to replace the analog control circuit for PAM. Experimental results are presented and compared with simulations.

High voltage gain converters are essential for distributed power generation systems with renewable energy sources, such as fuel cells and solar cells, because of their low voltage characteristics. This paper introduces a novel nonisolated DC-DC converter topology developed by combining an inverting buck-boost converter and voltage multipliers. In the proposed converter, the input voltage is connected in series with the output, and the majority of the input power is directly delivered to the load. The voltage multipliers are stacked in series to achieve high step-up voltage gain. The voltage stress across all of the switches and capacitors can be significantly reduced. As a result, the switches with low voltage ratings can be used to achieve high efficiency and low cost. To verify the validity of the proposed topology, a 360-W prototype converter is built to obtain the experimental results.

In this paper, a high voltage gain topology combining cascode Inverting Buck-Boost converter and voltage multiplier structure is introduced. In proposed converter, the input voltage is connected in series at the output, the portion of input power is directly delivered to the load which results in continuous input current. In addition, the voltage multiplier stage stacked in proper manner is not only enhance high step-up voltage gain ratio but also significantly reduce the voltage stress across all semiconductor devices and capacitors. As a result, the high current-low voltage switches can be employed for higher efficiency and lower cost. In order to show the feasibility of the proposed topology, the operation principle is presented and the steady-state characteristic is analyzed in detail. A 380W-40/380V prototype converter was built to validate the effectiveness of proposed converter.

For lighting application, high-power LED nowadays is driven at 350mA and a sensing resistor is used to provide feedback for LED-current regulation. This method adds an IR drop at the output branch, and limits power efficiency as LED current is large and keeps increasing. In this paper, a power efficient LED-current sensing circuit is proposed. The circuit does not use any sensing resistor but extracts LED-current information from the output capacitor of the driver. Controlling the brightness of LEDs requires a driver that provides a constant, regulated current. In one case, the converter may need to step down the input voltage, and, in another, it may need to boost up the output voltage. These situations often arise in applications with wide-ranging ""dirty"" input power sources, such as automotive systems. And, the driver topology must be able to generate a large enough output voltage to forward bias the LEDs. So, to provide this requirements, 13W prototype Buck-Boost Converter is used.

This paper introduces the bidirectional dc-dc converter design case study, which employs silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs for battery energy storage system (BESS). This converter topology is selected as bidirectional synchronous buck converter, which is composed of a half bridge converter, an inductor, and a capacitor, where the converter has less conduction loss than that of a unidirectional buck and boost converter, and to improve the converter efficiency, both the power stage design and power conversion architecture are described in detail. The conduction and switching losses are compared among three different SiC devices in this paper. In addition, the thermal analysis using Maxwell software of each switching device supports the loss analyses, in which both the 2 kW prototype analyses and experimental results show very good agreement.
