This paper proposes a grid-tied power conditioning system for the fuel cell power generation, which consists of a 2-stage DC-DC converter and a 3-phase PWM inverter. The 2-stage DC-DC converter boosts the fuel cell stack voltage of 26-48V up to 400V, using a hard-switching boost converter and a high-frequency unregulated LLC resonant converter. The operation of the proposed power conditioning system was verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. Based on the simulation results, a laboratory experimental set-up was built with a 1.2kW PEM fuel-cell stack to verify the feasibility of hardware implementation. The developed power conditioning system shows a high efficiency of 91%, which is a very positive result for the commercialization.

Photovoltaic systems normally use a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique to continuously deliver the highest possible power to the load when variations in the insolation and temperature occur. A simple method of tracking the maximum power points (MPPs) and forcing the boost converter system to operate close to these Points is presented through deriving small-signal model and transfer function of boost converter. This paper aims at modeling boost converter including equivalent series resistance of input reservoir capacitor by state-space-averaging method and PWM switch model. In the future, properly designed controller for compensation will be constructed in real system for maximum photovoltaic power tracking control.

This paper proposes the aggregated modeling and control of integated boost-flyback converter (IBFC) for understanding of dynamics characteristic and designing of relevant controller. The basic concept of the aggregated modeling is to substitute the boost or the flyback converter with an equivalent current source. Since each converter with equivalent current source corresponds to the basic boost and flyback converters, the overall mathematical process is significantly simplified for the modeling. Afterwards each result is combined to construct the complete model of the IBFC, and the relevant controller is designed through the achieved small-signal model. Simulation and experimental results show excellent agreement with the theoretical expectations.

A new asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) half bridge converter with improved ZVS performance is proposed. The ZVS operation of the proposed converter can be maintained from no load to full load conditions since the magnetizing current of the transformer contributes to the ZVS operation at light loads without considerable conduction loss of the transformer and switch. Synchronous rectification is employed to reduce the rectification loss. Operational principles, large signal modeling, ZVS analysis and design equations are presented. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed converter can achieve a large ZVS range and significant improvement in efficiency for a 100W (5V, 20A) prototype converter.

A FPGA based delta modulated single phase matrix converter has been developed that may be used in both cyclo-converters and cyclo-inverters. This converter is ideal for variable speed electrical drives, induction heating, fluorescent lighting, ballasts and high frequency power supplies. The peripheral input-output and FPGA interfacing have been developed through Xilinx 9.2i, to generate delta modulated trigger pulses for the converter. The controller has been relieved of the time consuming computational task of PWM signal generation by implementing the method of trigger pulse generation in a FPGA by using Hardware Description Language VHDL in Xilinx. The trigger circuit has been tested qualitatively by observing various waveforms on an oscilloscope. The operation of the proposed system has been found to be satisfactory.

In hybrid renewable power systems, the use of a multiple-input dc/dc converter (MIC) leads to simpler circuit and lower cost, when compared to the conventional use of several single-input converters. This paper proposed a novel three-input buck/boost/buck-boost converter, which can be used in applications with various values of input voltage. The energy sources in this converter can deliver power to the load either simultaneously or individually in one switching period. The steady relationship, the power management strategy and the small-signal circuit model of this converter have been derived. With decoupling technology, modeling and regulator design can be obtained under multi-loop control modes. Finally, three generating methods of a multiple-input buck/boost/buck-boost converter is given, and this method can be extended to the other multiple-input dc/dc converters.

This paper proposes a 3 kW single-phase bi-directional multi-level converter for energy storage applications. The proposed topology is based on the H-bridge structure with four switches connected to the DC-link. A simple phase opposition disposition PWM method that requires only one carrier signal is also suggested. The switching sequence to balance the capacitor voltage is considered. The topology can be extended to a nine-level converter or a three-phase system. The operating principle of the proposed converter is verified through a simulation and an experiment.

A passive lossless turn-on/turn-off snubber network is proposed for the boost PWM converter. Previous AC/DC PFC Boost Converter perceives feed forward signal of output for average current-mode control. Previous Boost Convertor, the Quantity of input current will be decreased by the decrease of output current in light load, and also Power factor comes to be decreased. Also the efficiency of converter will be decreased by the decrease of power factor. The proposed converter presents the good PFC, low line current harmonic distortions and tight output voltage regulations using energy recovery circuit. All of the semiconductor devices in the converter are turned on under exact or near zero voltage switching(ZVS). No additional voltage and current stresses on the main switch and main diode occur. To show the superiority of this converter is verified through the experiment with a 640W, 100kHz prototype converter.

DC-DC 컨버터는 인덕터 전류의 동작에 따라 연속전류모드와 불연속전류모드, 임계모드로 나눌 수 있다. 임계모드는 연속전류모드와 불연속전류모드의 경계에서 동작한다. DC-DC 컨버터를 임계모드에서 동작하도록 설계하면 인덕터 크기를 줄일 수 있으며 ZCS(Zero Current Switching) 동작을 하여 스위치와 다이오드의 전력 손실을 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 임계모드로 동작하는 부스트형 컨버터를 인공위성 용 태양전력 조절기에 적용한다. 임계모드 동작 시 DC-DC 컨버터의 입출력 조건에 따라 DC-DC 컨버터의 스위칭 주파수가 변한다. 최대 스위칭 주파수 제한을 위해 스위칭 주파수 제한 로직을 적용하였다. 한편, 임계모드 부스트형 태양전력 조절기는 소신호 전달함수가 간단하여 제어기 설계가 용이하다. 임계모드 부스트형 태양전력 조절기의 소신호 전달함수를 유도하고 이를 바탕으로 전압제어기를 설계하였다. 최종적으로 모의실험을 통해 임계모드로 동작하는 태양전력 조절기를 검증하였다.
