In this paper, the input current and output voltage ripple of the soft switching interleaved boost converter was analyzed. Ripples of input current and output voltage with an interleaved method is analysed and as a result, the facts that it has lower ripple current than conventional interleaved method is verified. it means that a capacity of a main inductor can be reduced. Besides, a low capacitance of capacitor which means high lifetime and confidence can be used because of reducing ripples of output voltage. In order to verify the validity of the proposed converter used 10uF film capacitor, experiment was performed, and the efficiency of the proposed converter was measured with variable load and duty conditions.

This study presents a practical implementation of a multi-mode two-phase interleaved boost converter for fuel cell electric vehicle application. The main operating modes, which include two continuous conducting modes and four discontinuous conducting modes, are discussed. The boundaries and transitions among these modes are analyzed with consideration of the inductor parasitic resistance. The safe operational area is analyzed through a comparison of the different operating modes. The output voltage and power characteristics with open-loop or closed-loop operation are also discussed. Key performance parameters, including the DC voltage gain, input ripple current, output ripple voltage, and switch stresses, are presented and supported by simulation and experimental results.

An interleaved bridgeless buck-boost AC/DC converter is presented in this paper to achieve the characteristics of low conduction loss, a high power factor and low harmonic and ripple currents. There are only two power semiconductors in the line current path instead of the three power semiconductors in a conventional boost AC/DC converter. A buck-boost converter operated in the boundary conduction mode (BCM) is adopted to control the active switches to achieve the following characteristics: no diode reverse recovery problem, zero current switching (ZCS) turn-off of the rectifier diodes, ZCS turn-on of the power switches, and a low DC bus voltage to reduce the voltage stress of the MOSFETs in the second DC/DC converter. Interleaved pulse-width modulation (PWM) is used to control the switches such that the input and output ripple currents are reduced such that the output capacitance can be reduced. The voltage doubler topology is adopted to double the output voltage in order to extend the useable energy of the capacitor when the line voltage is off. The circuit configuration, principle operation, system analysis, and a design example are discussed and presented in detail. Finally, experiments on a 500W prototype are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper proposes a novel soft-switching interleaved boost converter composed of two shunted elementary PFC boost conversion units and an auxiliary inductor. This converter is able to turn on both the active power switches at zero voltage to reduce their switching losses and evidently raise the conversion efficiency and power factor. Since the two parallel-operated elementary boost units are identical, operation analysis and design for the converter module becomes quite simple. A laboratory test circuit is built, and the circuit operation shows satisfactory agreement with the theoretical analysis. The performance of the proposed PFC rectifier was evaluated on an experimental 300[W] PFC prototype.

In this paper a new current control method is proposed for the discontinuous conduction mode of boost converter. The proposed method using a current gain feedforward compensation adjusts a measured inductor current value and then, calculated an average current precisely in the discontinuous conduction mode as well as continuous conduction mode. By applying the proposed method, the current measurement error is significantly reduced to 2% regardless of the operating points. The proposed method is analyzed and its performance is investigated in simulation. To verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme, a 10kW 3-phase interleaved boost converter was built and experimental results are matched to the simulation results.

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET belongs to the family of wide-band gap devices with inherit property of low switching and conduction losses. The stable operation of SiC MOSFET at higher operating temperatures has invoked the interest of researchers in terms of its application to high power density (HPD) power converters. This paper presents a performance study of SiC MOSFET based two-phase interleaved boost converter (IBC) for regulation of avionics bus voltage in more electric aircraft (MEA). A 450W HPD, IBC has been developed for study, which delivers 28V output voltage when supplied by 24V battery. A gate driver design for SiC MOSFET is presented which ensures the operation of converter at 250kHz switching frequency, reduces the miller current and gate signal ringing. The peak current mode control (PCMC) has been employed for load voltage regulation. The efficiency of SiC MOSFET based IBC converter is compared against Si counterpart. Experimentally obtained efficiency results are presented to show that SiC MOSFET is the device of choice under a heavy load and high switching frequency operation.

본 논문에서는 SMPS의 교류 입력측 역률을 개선시킬 수 있는 전치 레귤레이터로서 interleaved 승압형 컨버터를 관하여 연구하였다. Interleaved 승압형 역률보상 컨버터(IBPFC)는 입력전류를 두 개의 스위칭 소자에 의하여 50%씩 나누어져 흐르게 함으로써, 내부 전류제어 루프 얼이 전압제어 루프만으로 제어계를 구성하여 입력전류 리플을 줄일 수 있다. 즉, IBPFC를 구성하는 각각의 부스트 컨버터 cell을 불연속 전류모드로 동작시키더라도 전체적인 입력전류의 파형은 연속이 되어 입력전류 리플이 감소하게 된다. 불연속 전류모드로 동작하는 IBPFC를 해석하기 위하여 스위칭 상태에 따라서 6개의 모드로 구분하여 상태방정식을 구하였다. 또한, 각 상태방정식을 상태공간 평균화법을 이용하여 모델링하고, 미소변동분을 고려한 소신호 해석을 통하여 제어전달함수를 구할 수 있다. 또한, 제어전달함수를 이용하여 단일 전압제어 루프를 가지는 제어계를 설계하였으며, 이러한 해석 및 설계를 바탕으로 실험을 통하여 IBPFC의 역률개선 및 리플저감을 확인하였다.
