본 연구는 상전류가 상전압과 동위상에 가까운 정현파가 되도록 제어함으로써 배전선로의 고조파성분과 무효전력을 감소시킬 수 있는 3상 PWM AC/DC승압형 콘버터를 해석하고 안정된 제어방법을 제안하였다. 제어기의 실현에 있어서는 전류센서가 없는 순시전압 제어방식의 비교적 간단한 제어알고리즘을 도출하였고 순시전압 제어는 PWM방식을 아용하였다. 또한 스위칭손실을 줄이기 위하여 스위칭 주파수는 비교적 낮은 범위인 3[kHz]정도로 하였다. 부하가 능동부하일 경우 전원쪽으로 잉여전력의 회수가 가능한 4상한 동작 콘버터를 구성하였으며, 본 제어방식의 타당성을 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 확인 하였다.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a trigger circuit which can be series connected with main pulse circuit for a xenon flash lamp driver. For generating high voltage, the trigger circuit is designed as an inductive energy storage pulsed power modulator with 2 state step-up circuit consisting of a boost converter and a flyback circuit. In order to guarantee pulse width, a resonant capacitor on the output side of the flyback circuit is designed. This capacitor limits the output voltage to protect the flyback switch. In addition, to protect another power supply of xenon flash lamp driver from trigger pulse, the high voltage transformer which can carry the full current of main pulse is designed. To verify the proposed design, the trigger circuit is developed with the specification of maximum 23 kV, 0.6 J/pulse output and tested with a xenon flash lamp driver consisting of a main pulse circuit and a simmer circuit.

최근 저전압 대전류 출력 특성을 갖는 연료전지를 위한 새로운 발전시스템으로 주목받고 있다. 연료전지 발전시스템에서는 DC-DC 승압용 컨버터와 DC-AC 인버터가 필요하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 연료전지의 전압을 $380[V_{DC}]$로 승압하기 위한 절연형 DC-DC 컨버터와 단상 $220[V_{AC}]$로 변환하기 위한 LC필터를 가진 PWM 인버터로 구성된 전력변환장치를 제안하였다. 특히 제안한 고주파 절연형 ZVZCS PWM DC-DC 컨버터는 환류 다이오드를 포함한 탭부 인덕터 필터를 이용하여 순환 전류를 저감시켰으며, 스위치 및 변압기의 턴-온, 턴-오프시에 오버슈트 전압이나 과도현상이 발생하지 않는다. 그리고 넓은 출력 전압 조정에도 효율을 $93{\sim}97[%]$정도 얻을 수 있으며, 출력 부하전류의 변화에 대해 거의 일정한 출력 전압 특성을 가졌다.

본 논문에서는 일정 토크영역에서 승압형 PFC 컨버터와 직접토크제어(DTC) 방법을 사용하여 BLDC 모터의 구동 시스템을 DSP(TMS320F2812)로 구현하였다. 기존의 6단계 PWM 전류제어와 달리 미리 정한 샘플시간 마다 간단한 look-up 표로부터 2상 도통 모드에 대한 인버터의 전압 상태 벡터를 설정함으로써 원하는 전류파형을 만들었으며 이로부터 기존의 전류제어기보다 훨씬 빠른 토크 응답특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 BLDC 모터의 비 이상적인 사다리형 역기전력에 의해 발생되는 저주파 토크변동을 저감하기 위하여 위치 loop-up 표를 사용하였다. 아울러 역률을 보정하기 위해 승압형 PFC 컨버터를 구성하였고 이 때 전파 정류된 입력전압과 출력전압, 인덕터의 전류에 의해 평균전류모드 제어 방식으로 80 kHz마다 PWM 듀티(duty)가 조절 되도록 하였다. 이와 같이 복잡한 제어 알고리즘은 초고속 DSP의 출현으로 PFC와 DTC 알고리즘이 동시에 제어가 가능하며, 본 논문에서는 DTC 알고리즘을 구현할 때 DSP의 일반 범용의 출력포트를 사용하여 구현하였고 단지 PFC에서만 1개의 PWM을 사용하여 디지털 제어기를 구현하였다. 실험을 통해 DTC 알고리즘과 PFC 컨버터를 이용한 BLDC 모터 구동 시스템의 타당성과 효용성을 보였고, 실험결과로부터 PFC 컨버터를 사용하지 않았을 때는 역률이 약 0.77이었으나 PFC 컨버터를 사용하였을 때는 부하변동에 관계없이 약 0.9997로 크게 향상됨을 확인하였다.

A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain has more than one energy source including a high-voltage electric battery. However, for a high voltage electric battery, the average current is relatively low for a given power level. Introduced to increase the voltage of a HEV battery, a compact, high-efficiency boost converter, sometimes called a step-up converter, is a dc-dc converter with an output voltage greater than its input voltage. The inductor occupies more than 30% of the total converter volume making it difficult to get high power density. The inductor should have the characteristics of good thermal stability, low weight, low losses and low EMI. In this paper, Mega Flux^® was selected as the core material among potential core candidates. Different structured inductors with Mega Flux^® were fabricated to compare the performance between the conventional air cooled and proposed potting structure. The proposed inductor has reduced the weight by 75% from 8.8kg to 2.18kg and the power density was increased from 15.6W/cc to 56.4W/cc compared with conventional inductor. To optimize the performance of proposed inductor, the potting materials with various thermal conductivities were investigated. Silicone with alumina was chosen as potting materials due to the high thermo-stable properties. The proposed inductors used potting material with thermal conductivities of 0.7W/m·K, 1.0W/m·K and 1.6W/m·K to analyze the thermal performance. Simulations of the proposed inductor were fulfilled in terms of magnetic flux saturation, leakage flux and temperature rise. The temperature rise and power efficiency were measured with the 40kW boost converter. Experimental results show that the proposed inductor reached the temperature saturation of 107℃ in 20 minutes. On the other hand, the temperature of conventional inductor rose by 138℃ without saturation. And the effect of thermal conductivity was verified as the highest thermal conductivity of potting materials leads to the lowest temperature saturations.

본 논문에서는 빛 에너지 하베스팅 자가발전 시스템을 위한 두 가지 구조의 전력관리 회로를 제안한다. 첫 번째는, 솔라셀이 부하가 동작할 수 있는 충분한 전압을 출력하는 경우, 전력관리회로를 통해 직접 솔라셀의 에너지를 부하로 공급하는 구조이다. 두 번째는 초소형 솔라셀이나 집적화된 솔라셀에서처럼 출력전압이 0.5V 이하로 매우 작아서 부하를 직접 구동할 수 없는 경우, 전압부스터를 사용하여 충분한 전압까지 승압한 후, 이를 전력관리회로를 통해 부하로 공급하는 구조이다. 이 두 가지 구조의 전력관리 회로는 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 설계 및 제작되었으며, 측정을 통해 성능을 비교 분석하였다.

Power Transformers with more than one secondary winding are not uncommon in industrial applications. But new classes of applications where very large number of independent secondaries are used are becoming popular in controlled converters for medium and high voltage applications. Cascade H-bridge medium voltage drives and Pulse Step Modulation (PSM) based high voltage power supplies are such applications. Regulated high voltage power supplies (Fig. 1) with 35-100 kV, 5-10 MW output range with very fast dynamics (${\mu}S$ order) uses such transformers. Such power supplies are widely used in fusion research. Here series connection of isolated voltage sources with conventional switching semiconductor devices is achieved by large number of separate transformers or by single unit of multi-secondary transformer. Naturally, a transformer having numbers of secondary windings (~40) on single core is the preferred solution due to space and cost considerations. For design and simulation analysis of such a power supply, the model of a multi-secondary transformer poses special problem to any circuit analysis software as many simulation softwares provide transformer models with limited number (3-6) of secondary windings. Multi-Secondary transformer models with 3 different schemes are available. A comparison of test results from a practical Multi-secondary transformer with a simulation model using magnetic component is found to describe the behavior closer to observed test results. Earlier models assumed magnetising inductance in a linear loss less core model although in actual it is saturable core made-up of CRGO steel laminations. This article discusses a more detailed representation of flux coupled magnetic model with saturable core properties to simulate actual transformers very close to its observed parameters in test and actual usage.

This paper proposes a practical sliding-mode controller design for shaping the impedances of cascaded boost-converter power decoupling circuits for reducing the second order harmonic ripple in photovoltaic (PV) current. The cascaded double-boost converter, when used as power decoupling circuit, has some advantages in terms of a high step-up voltage-ratio, a small number of switches and a better efficiency when compared to conventional topologies. From these features, it can be seen that this topology is suitable for residential (PV) rooftop systems. However, a robust controller design capable of rejecting double frequency inverter ripple from passing to the (PV) source is a challenge. The design constraints are related to the principle of the impedance-shaping technique to maximize the output impedance of the input-side boost converter, to block the double frequency PV current ripple component, and to prevent it from passing to the source without degrading the system dynamic responses. The design has a small recovery time in the presence of transients with a low overshoot or undershoot. Moreover, the proposed controller ensures that the ripple component swings freely within a voltage-gap between the (PV) and the DC-link voltages by the small capacitance of the auxiliary DC-link for electrolytic-capacitor elimination. The second boost controls the main DC-link voltage tightly within a satisfactory ripple range. The inverter controller performs maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for the input voltage source using ripple correlation control (RCC). The robustness of the proposed control was verified by varying system parameters under different load conditions. Finally, the proposed controller was verified by simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents a new single phase front-end ac-dc bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) rectifier topology. The proposed converter achieves a high efficiency over a wide range of input and output voltages, a high power factor, low line current harmonics and both step up and step down voltage conversions. This topology is based on a non-inverting buck-boost (Zeta) converter. In this approach, the input diode bridge is removed and a maximum of one diode conducts in a complete switching period. This reduces the conduction losses and the thermal stresses on the switches when compare to existing PFC topologies. Inherent power factor correction is achieved by operating the converter in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) which leads to a simplified control circuit. The characteristics of the proposed design, principles of operation, steady state operation analysis, and control structure are described in this paper. An experimental prototype has been built to demonstrate the feasibility of the new converter. Simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the improved power quality at the AC mains and the lower conduction losses of the converter.

Gel have enormous applicable region due to inherently high stretchability and bio-compatibility. Here, we fabricated highly stretchable electronic conductive organogels which have long-term stability in environment. By introducing a dialysis step which can incorporate conducting polymer, PEDOT, on the procedure of gel synthesis, residual ions inside the gel were removed. In addition, we replaced the water with organic solvent, EG, inside the gels which is high stability in air. Unlike conventional hydrogels, there are no ionic conduction occurred and electrochemically driven current was prevented during electrical voltage was applied. The fabricated organogels are hardly dried during air exposure, and only electrically conductive without any electrochemical reaction at even high voltage. In order to utilize as stretchable conductor, we demonstrated a LED array circuit using the conductive organogels as electrical interconnects. It was successfully operative even stretched up to 300% strain.
