Abstract

In low voltage high current applications such as fuel cells the current-fed DC-DC converter which has small ripple current and turn ratio is more efficient. In the applications larger than 5kW the conventional single-phase current-fed converter based on full-bridge, half-bridge or push-pull topologies has high current burden of devices such as switches, and the selection and optimized design of the devices are not easy. In this paper a three-phase active-clamped current-fed push-pull DC-DC converter suitable for high power high step-up applications is proposed. The proposed converter has reduced current burden and is suitable for wide input voltage applications due to the use of whole duty cycle range. Design methods of main components including three-phase high frequency transformers are provided, and the validity and performance of the proposed converter are proved from a 5kW prototype.

연료전지와 같은 저전압 대전류 응용에는 입력전류 리플이 작고 변압기의 턴비가 작은 전류원 DC-DC 컨버터가 더 효과적이다. 5kW급 이상의 응용에서는 기존의 단상을 기본으로 하는 전류원 풀브리지, 하프브리지 또는 푸시풀 의 토폴로지로는 스위치등 소자의 전류부담이 크고 소자의 선정 및 최적설계가 용이하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 대전력 고승압 응용에 적합한 능동 클램프방식의 3상 전류원 푸쉬풀 DC-DC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안한 컨버터는 소자의 전류부담이 작고 전 영역(0～1)의 듀티 사용으로 입력전압 변동이 큰 응용에 적합하다. 3상 고주파변압기를 비롯한 주요부품의 설계방법을 제시하고 5kW급의 시작품으로부터 제안한 컨버터의 타당성 및 성능을 검증하였다.
