The phase-shifted, full-bridge (PSFB) DC-DC converter is widely used in electric vehicles (EVs) to charge a low-voltage (12 V) battery from a high-voltage battery. A Photovoltaic (PV) module-integrated PSFB converter is proposed for the EV power conversion system. The converter is useful because solar energy can be utilized to extend the driving range. The buck converter circuit is simply realized by adding one switch to the conventional PSFB converter's secondary side. For the inductor and diode, the existing components in the PSFB converter are shared. The proposed converter can charge a low-voltage battery from the PV module with maximum power point tracking. In addition, the two power sources can be used simultaneously, and efficiency is increased by reducing the circulating current, which is a problem for the conventional PSFB converter.

This paper proposes a new soft switching single stage AC/DC full bridge converter with unit power factor and isolated output. This circuit shows that it is possible to combine the boost converter which is for PFC(Power Factor Correction) and full bridge converter which is for DC/DC converter. A simple auxiliary circuit which includes neither lossy components nor active switches eliminates ringing of secondary side of the transformer. The characteristics of the proposed circuit are investigated and the validity is verified by the simulation results.

본 연구에서는 회로평균화 기법을 이용한 풀 브리지 컨버터의 회로모델을 제안하였다. 제안한 모델은 회로의 물리적 성격을 충분히 알 수 있으므로 대용램의 DC-DC 컨버터에 많이 사용되는 풀 브리지컨버터의 해석과 설계에 쉽게 적용할 수 있다. 제안한 모델을 적용하여 풀 브리지 컨버터의 안정도해석올 시뮬레이션을 통하여 수행하고, 부하의 변동이 단락에서 개방까지 극심한 아크 용접기의 주회로 설계에 적용히여 설치의 용접을 통하여 안정한 동작이 가능함을 확인하였다.

일반적인 DC/DC 전력변환기의 스위칭 방식은 하드 스위칭 방식과 공진을 이용한 소프트 스위칭 방식으로 분류할 수 있으며, 하드 스위칭 방식은 스위치의 턴 온/오프시 스위칭 소자에 생기는 전력손실이 커서 효율 면에서 불리하며, 공진형 소프트 스위칭 방식은 별도의 리액터와 커패시터를 추가함으로서 시스템의 사이즈와 비용이 증가하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 새로운 스위칭 방식의 소프트 스위칭 방식의 Full-bridge 전력변환기의 구조를 제안하였으며, 제안된 소프트 스위칭 방식은 앞단의 벅 컨버터의 다이오드 전류시 영전압이 되는 구간에서 Full-Bridge 컨버터의 스위치를 교변 함으로써 리액터와 커패시터의 추가없이 소프트 스위칭을 이루어냄으로서 시스템의 효율과 신뢰성을 향상시킨다. 또한 제안된 절연형 소프트 Full-bridge DC/DC 컨버터의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 Psim을 이용한 시뮬레이션과 500[W]급 DC/DC 컨버터를 제작하여 DC/DC 컨버터의 효율이 우수함을 확인하였다.

This paper introduces a novel hybrid converter combining a full-bridge soft switching converter and a full-bridge LLC converter. In this topology all the primary switches can achieve ZVS and ZCS all over the operation range. An additional switch and a diode are added in the secondary side of full-bridge converter to eliminate the circulating current and to provide a separate freewheeling path. The hybrid structure makes it possible to deliver the power to the secondary all the time of operation, thereby improving the efficiency. The proposed topology is suitable for the applications such as on-board chargers for electric vehicles and high power dc-dc converters. A 6.6-kW prototype converter was implemented and 97.5% efficiency was obtained through the experiments.

A high-efficiency full-bridge DC-DC converter with a current-doubler rectifier and an asymmetric pulse-width modulation is proposed. Through the asymmetric pulse-width modulation, the proposed converter achieves zero-voltage switching of power switches without the circulating currents. The proposed converter reduces the output current ripple through the current-doubler rectifier. A control strategy is suggested for the proposed converter to charge battery banks. A constant current and constant voltage charging is performed. The proposed converter achieved a higher efficiency compared with the conventional full-bridge DC-DC converter with a phase-shift modulation. The performance of the proposed converter is evaluated by the experimental results for a 1.0 kW prototype circuit.

This study proposes a high-efficiency phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) converter with a wide input voltage range. The conventional PSFB converter is a useful topology in high-power applications. This converter not only achieves the zero-voltage switching of the primary switches, but also has small RMS current in the primary side. However, because the conventional PSFB converter has large freewheeling current in the primary side when it is designed considering the hold-up time of the converter, such a converter has high conduction loss at the primary switches. To solve this problem, a new PSFB converter is proposed in this study. The experiment is implemented with an input voltage ranging from a 320 V-400 V and an output power specification of 715 W.

We have designed and fabricated two different RF-DC Converters called doubler for 5.8GHz Microwave Wireless Power Transmission. The doubler as RF-DC Converter makes the rectified voltage be doubled. We measured and compared voltages of the doublers with those of the previous full-wave rectifying RF-DC Converter. The doublers show rectified double voltages. However, the full-wave rectifying converter has a high efficiency due to the suppression of reflecting harmonics. The other fabricated doublers causes so many harmonics that they can't convert the low-power RF to the full DC. In this paper, we show that the different doublers doesn't double the rectifying voltages compared with those of the full-wave rectifying converter and give a reason about that.

Pulse-width modulated (PWM) full-bridge boost converters are used in applications where the output voltage is considerably higher than the input voltage. Zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) is typically implemented in these converters. A new ZVS-PWM full-bridge converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter does not have any of the disadvantages associated with other converters of this type, including a complicated auxiliary circuit, increased current stresses in the main power switches, and load-dependent ZVS operation. The operation of the proposed converter, its steady-state characteristics, and its design are explained and examined. The feasibility of the converter is confirmed with results obtained from an experimental prototype.

In this paper, a novel delta/double-fork transformer based 18-pulse full-wave AC-DC converter is designed, modeled, simulated and developed to feed isolated DC varying loads. The proposed AC-DC converter is used for low voltage and large current DC loads in applications such as electrowinning, where isolation is required mainly for stepping down the supply voltage. The proposed converter improves power quality at AC mains and meets IEEE-519 standard requirements at varying loads.
