This paper investigates a high performance converter topology for hydrogen gas generation electrolysis system. The proposed converter topology consists of full-bridge inverter, medium frequency transformer, and diode rectifier. Hydrogen gas generation electrolysis process considered in the paper is analyzed and characterized by its equivalent circuit. The electrolysis cell is modeled as effective resistance, capacitance, inductance, and internal emf voltage source. The proposed converter topology provides enhanced efficiency of hydrogen gas generation process under the operating condition of dc output voltage with high frequency ripple on it. The high performance operation of proposed converter is confirmed through the simulation with the electrolysis cell considered in the equivalent circuit model.

We have developed a compact high frequency switch mode converter (HFSMC) power supply with DC 50 kV output voltage and 10 kW output power. Since the inverter circuit uses 25 kHz rescharging scheme, the current is flowing with t kHz. For the efficient output voltage transform performed a simple design process using the transformer principle and the commercial specification. For the DC 50 kV output, we employed 7 pa windings of secondary coils for the series stac connection of the output with full-bridge rectifi In this paper the design detail and the test re the high frequency transformer together with HFSMC power supply are presented.

최근 전력품질 향상을 위해 계통전류에 대한 THD 규제가 강화되고 있음에 따라 THD와 누설전류의 개선 문제가 대두되고 있다. 단상 계통연계형 ESS에서는 흔히 인버터와 DC-DC컨버터를 사용하여 배터리를 충 방전 하는데, 이때 단상 인버터의 대지누설전류 또한 개선이 필요하다. 단상 인버터의 누설전류는 모듈레이션 방식을 변경함에 따라 차이가 나타난다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 단상 풀-브릿지 인버터의 유니폴라(Unipolar) 모듈레이션과 바이폴라(Bipolar) 모듈레이션 방버에 따른 누설전류의 크기를 PSIM을 통한 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 비교 분석하였다.

Combination the several type of single phase power conversion utilized simply topology are proposed in this paper. Totally four kind of converter are investigated, they are Boost AC/AC Converter, Buck AC/AC Converter, Boost AC/DC Converter, and Buck DC/AC Converter. Two types action mode are presented to determine the functional of circuit. First is AC chopper action mode, representation of the AC/AC converter. AC chopper action mode offered the sinusoidal current waveform, better power factor, faster dynamics, and smaller input/output filter. They present high robustness, offer safe commutation and have high efficiency. The second is full bridge action mode, determined the transformation AC to DC power and otherwise. Four switching devices and one magnetic contactor will establish the mode operation of circuit and manage the flow of power proceed in proper. The correction and advance of the kind of converter are verified by simulation.

This paper discussed the LCL-type & Isolated bidirectional dc-dc converter(BDC) with dual full bridge inverter. In order to verify the analysis of the BDC, Experimental prototype has been designed and implemented to supply constant voltage regardless of loads and proposed a method to select switching frequency that depended on two inductors' inductance ratio and transformer parameters. The proposed converter has been composed of LCL resonant network with unit inductance ratio ($L_r/L_f$=1) and then operated with fixed duty, 50% duty ratio and fixed frequency. There are some characteristics that input voltage and output voltage of the BDC is nearly identical and zero voltage turn-on switching is possible in forward and reverse mode. Finally, it has been showed that BDC is possible to commutate operating mode normally and provide constant output voltage in selected switching frequency.

비 절연형 PCS를 사용하였을 때 절연을 할 수 없기 때문에 안전에 대한 위험이 있고 손실이 커서 전체적인 효율이 낮다. 본 논문에서 듀얼 풀 브릿지 컨버터를 사용하여 구현하였다. 각 소자들의 전압, 전류 정격을 줄일 수 있으며 전기적인 절연으로 인하여 안전하다. 또한 승압 비가 홀로 사용했을 때 보다 높으며 고주파 변압기의 턴비를 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문은 1.5[kW]급 듀얼 풀 브릿지 컨버터와 단상 인버터를 이용한 PCS를 설계하고 설계한 파라미터를 구현하여 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

기존 위상천이 풀브리지 컨버터는 입력전압 범위가 넓을 경우, 제어변수인 듀티의 변동이 크게 되어 큰 순환전류가 존재하고, 2차측 정류단 전압스트레스가 커지는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 위상천이 방식을 적용한 3-레그 인버터 타입의 절연형 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안회로는 턴 비의 변화로 입력전압에 상관없이 항상 최대 듀티로 동작하며, 1차측 전류 및 2차측 정류단 전압스트레스를 감소시킬 수 있다. 제안 회로의 타당성을 검증하기 위해, 입력 311V_DC/622V_DC, 출력 50V 6kW급 사양의 프로토타입 컨버터를 설계·제작하였고, 그 실험 결과를 발표한다.

Welding machines are high-capacity systems used in a low-frequency range using IGBT. As their system is similar to a large transformer, most welding machines suffer a great loss because of hard switching and vast leakage inductance. A voltage-balancing circuit is designed to overcome these shortcomings. This circuit can reduce the transformer size by making it into a high frequency and reducing the input voltage by half and by adopting a serial structure that connects two full-bridges in a series to use a MOSFET with a good property at high frequency. In addition, a Schottky diode is used in the primary rectifier to overcome the low efficiency of most welding machines. To use the Schottky diode with a reliably relatively low withstanding voltage, an active snubber is adopted to effectively limit the ringing voltage of the diode cut-off voltage.
