Conventionally, ZVS FB DC/DC converter was controlled by monolithic IC UC3879, which includes the functions of oscillator, error amplifier and phase-shift circuit. Also, microprocessor and DSP have been widely used for the remote control and for the immediate waveform control in ZVS FB DC/DC converter. However the conventional microprocessor controller is complex and difficult to control because the controller consists of analog and digital parts. In the case of the control of FB DC/DC converter, the output is required of driving a direct signal to the switch drive circuits by the digital controller. So, this paper presents the method and realization of designing the digital-to-phase shift PWM circuit controlled by DSP (TMX320C32) in a 2,500A, 40㎾ WS FB DC/DC converter.

DC-shift phenomenon can be observed in Hybrid rocket combustion. This phenomenon makes performance drop which is structure problem or reduce thrust. Understanding of DC-shift phenomenon, the conditions of the hybrid rocket combustion stability can be found. In this paper, the condition of DC-shift was found and made by using acoustic mode and vortex shedding frequency. The conditions of stable combustion was defined from the experimental study of DC-shift phenomenon.

DC-shift phenomenon can be observed in Hybrid rocket combustion. This phenomenon makes performance drop which is structure problem or reduce thrust. Understanding of DC-shift phenomenon, the condition of the hybrid rocket combustion stability can be found. In this paper, the condition of Negative DC-shift was found and made by changing oxidizer flow with pre-post chamber.

An LCL-type Isolated dc-dc converter operating for constant output voltage is analyzed, including the effect of a high frequency transformer using ac complex circuit approximation. Its solution is derived and is used to obtain the characteristics of the proposed converter. The analyses show through converter modeling, phasor diagram and gain comparison that inclusion of a high frequency transformer results in introduction of magnetizing inductance and leakage inductances at conventional LCL dc-dc converter with ideal transformer. The theoretical and simulation results are presented in case of the wide variations in input voltage and load current in detail. Analysis and simulation results observed that introduction of a transformer in the dc-dc converter had considerable effect on the performance, especially in the case of low output voltage and large load.

A step-down DC-DC converter with On-chip Compensation for battery-operated portable electronic devices which are designed in 0.18um CMOS standard process. In an effort to improve low load efficiency, this paper proposes the PFM (Pulse Frequency modulation) voltage mode 1MHz switching frequency step-down DC-DC converter with on-chip compensation. Capacitor multiplier method can minimize error amplifier compensation block size by 20%. It allows the compensation block of DC-DC converter be easily integrated on a chip and occupy less layout area. But capacitor multiplier operation reduces DC-DC converter efficiency. As a result, this converter shows maximum efficiency over 87% for the output voltage of 1.8V (input voltage : 3.3V), maximum load current 500mA, and 0.14% output ripple voltage. The total core chip area is $mm^2$.

본 논문에서는 3-상 클럭을 이용하여 UP/DOWN 변환을 동시에 수행하는 DC/DC 변환기의 설계에 대해 설명한다. 기존의 UP/DOWN DC/DC 변환기의 경우에는 한 스텝당 변화하는 전압의 양이 많아서 출력에 수십 mV의 리플이 존재하게 된다. 이 리플을 줄이기 위해서는 L, C의 값을 크게 해 주어야하는 문제가 있다. 그러나, 설계된 UP/DOWN DC/DC 변환기는 기존의 UP/DOWN DC/DC 변환기의 구조를 가지면서, 3-상 클럭을 이용하여 한 스텝당 변화하는 전압의 양을 작게 하여 작은 L, C의 값을 가지고도 4mV이하의 출력 리플을 갖는 안정된 전압 변환을 하도록 설계하였다. 설계된 변환기는 0.25㎛ standard CMOS 공정을 이용하여 구현하였다. 구현 된 칩의 면적은 1.8 mm × 0.8 mm이다.

An analysis, which is focused on electrical losses of an electrical propulsion system with High voltage DC/DC Converter (HDC) for a hybrid and an electric vehicle, is presented. From the analysis, it can be known that the electrical losses are closely related to the dc link voltage of the HDC, and there is an optimal dc link voltage which minimizes the losses. In this paper, the method to decide the optimal dc link voltage is proposed and the comparison on the losses by the control methods of the dc link voltage, during a driving cycle, is performed and the result is also presented.

In recent years, DC distribution systems are becoming hot issue due to the increase in digital loads and DC generation systems according to the expansion of renewable energy technologies. However, removing the fault current in DC grids is comparably difficult since the current in DC grids has no zero-crossing point like in AC grids. Thus, developing dedicated DC circuit breakers for DC grids is necessary to get safety for people and electrical facilities. This paper proposes magnet arc extinguishing method to develop a 300[$V_{DC}$]/10[A] DC circuit breaker. The performance of the proposed DC circuit breaker was verified by an experimental circuit breaker test system built in this research.

This paper proposes a new power conditioning system for the fuel cell power generation, which consists of a ZVS DC-DC converter and 3-phase inverter. The ZVS DC-DC converter with a digital controller boosts the fuel cell voltage of 26-50V up to 400V, and the grid-tie inverter controls the active power delivered to the grid. The operation of proposed power conditioning system was verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The feasibility of hardware implementation was verified through experimental works with a laboratory prototype, which was built with 1.2kW PEM fuel-cell stack, 1kW DC-DC converter, and 3kW PWM inverter. The proposed system can be utilized to commercialize an interconnection system for the fuel-cell power generation.
