Many generating units can be in parallel connection to one battery and inverter. However, one of the biggest problems we encountered is that wind speed is fluctuated sharply in accordance with the unstable weather conditions. To solve this problem, we need energy storage equipment such as storage lead-acid battery. We design a system and analyze its modeling so that it supplies a stable power to the load through DC-AC inverter part. In this paper, we applied dual step-up/down buck-boost converter and dual high-frequency half-bridge converter to the proposed system. These converters are used to store energy in the battery regardless of the change of the wind speed. The operation process of two proposed types of converters for high-power battery charging is discussed along with simulation and experimental result. We design a charging circuit which is applicable in the actual wind power generation system for 30kw and confirm the circuit's validity.

Due to the increasing amount of applications of power electronic ac-dc converters, it is necessary to design a single-stage converter that can reliably perform both buck and boost operations. Traditionally, this can be achieved by double-stage conversion (ac/dc-dc/dc) which ultimately leads to less efficiency and a more complex control system. This paper discusses two types of modern ac-dc converters. First, the novel impedance-source ac-dc converter, abbreviated as custom Z-source rectifier, is analyzed; and then, switched inductor (SL) Z-source ac-dc converter is proposed. This paper describes the Z-source rectifiers' operating principles, the concepts behind them, and their superiorities. Analysis and simulation results show that the proposed custom Z-source rectifier can step up and step down voltage; and the main advantage of the SL Z-source ac-dc converter is its high step-up capability. Low ripple of the output dc voltage is the other advantage of the proposed converters. Finally, the SL Z-source ac-dc converter is compared with the custom Z-source ac-dc converter.

본 연구에서는 IEEE 802.11 OFDM 수신기에 적용하기 위한 DDC(Digital Down Converter) 설계 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 상용화 칩으로는 구현이 어려운 WiFi 응용서비스의 요구사항을 만족하기 위해서는 적절한 수신기 개발이 필요하다.

This paper introduces a new high efficient bi-directional, non-isolated DC/DC converter. Through variations of the topology of the conventional Cuk converter, an optimum bi-directional DC/DC converter is proposed. Voltage and current in the proposed DC/DC converter are continuous. Furthermore, the efficiency in both step-up and step-down mode is improved over that of the conventional bi-directional converter. To prove the validation for the proposed converter, simulations and experiments are executed with a 300W bi-directional converter.

This paper describes a single pulse-width modulation control strategy using the Single Pulse-Width Modulation (SPWM) method with a soft-switching technique for a wide range of output voltages from a bidirectional Dual-Active Bridge (DAB) converter. This method selects two typical inductor current waveforms for soft-switching, and proposes a rule that makes it possible to achieve soft-switching without any compensation algorithm from the waveforms. In addition, both the step-up and step-down conditions are analyzed. This paper verifies that the leakage inductance is independent from the rule, which makes it easier to apply in DAB converters. An integrated algorithm, which includes step-up and step-down techniques, is proposed. The results of experiments conducted on a 50-kW prototype are presented. The system efficiency is experimentally verified to be from 85.6% to 97.5% over the entire range.

본 논문에서는 Digital IF(Intermediate Frequency) 기술을 이용한 Up/Down 변환기를 설계하고, 이에 대한 성능을 평가 하였다. Digital IF 기술을 사용하는 이유는 passive 소자로 구성되어진 IF 주파수 영역은 고정되어진 한 주파수 밖에 사용하지 못하지만, Digital IF로 구성되어지면 보드의 외형적인 변경 없이 다양한 통신 주파수 영역에서 유연성 있게 사용이 가능하게 된다. 이러한 구성은 기존의 아날로그 헤테로다인 방식에 비하여 높은 유연성을 가지며, 우수한 성능향상을 보여준다.

This paper is studied on a novel buck-boost isolated converter for high efficiency and high power factor. The switching devices in the proposed converter are operated by soft switching technique using a new quasi-resonant circuit, and are driven with discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) according to pulse width modulation (PWM). The quasi-resonant circuit makes use of a step up-down inductor and a loss-less snubber capacitor. The proposed converter with DCM also simplifies the requirement of control circuit and reduces a number of control components. The input ac current waveform in the proposed converter becomes a quasi sinusoidal waveform in proportion to the magnitude of input ac voltage under constant switching frequency. As a result, it is obtained by the proposed converter that the switching power losses are low, the efficiency of the converter is high, and the input power factor is nearly unity. The validity of analytical results is confirmed by some simulation results on computer and experimental results.

본 논문에서는 새로운 고효율의 절연형 스텝 업-다운 DC/DC 초퍼에 대해 해석하였다. 일반적으로 고효율의 초퍼를 만들기 위해서는 전력변환기내에 사용된 반도체 스위칭 소자의 손실이 최소화 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 부분공진 회로를 초퍼에 추가하여 고효율을 실현시킨다. 제안한 초퍼에 사용된 제어용 스위칭 소자들은 부분공진기법에 의해 소프트 스위칭으로 동작하고, 이에 따른 제어용 스위칭 소자들은 전압과 전류의 스트레스 없이 동작한다. 그 결과 제안한 초퍼는 스위칭 손실의 저감에 의해 고효율로 구동한다. 그리고 제안한 초퍼는 펄스 변압기를 이용하여 입력단과 출력단을 절연시켜, 전기적 절연이 요구되는 전력변환기들에 적용되어 고효율의 전력변환시스템을 개발할 수 있는 장점이 부여된다. 제안한 절연형 스텝 업-다운 초퍼의 소프트 스위칭 동작과 시스템 효율은 다양한 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 통해 그 타당성이 입증된다.
