A DC-DC Converter operates in CCM(Continuous Coundcution Mode), DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode), CRM(Critical Conduction Mode). The CRM is boundary between CCM and DCM. If a DC-DC converter is designed to operate in CRM, its inductor volume can decrease and power loss which caused by switch and diode can decrease. In this paper, the DC-DC converter which operates in CRM is applied to a solar array regulator(SAR) for the satellite. The switching frequency of the CRM boost SAR changes according to input and output condition. The switching frequency limit logic is applied to limit the maximum switching frequency. Meanwhile, the small signal transfer function of the CRM boost SAR is simple, so the controller design is also simple. In this paper, the small signal transfer function from control reference to solar array voltage is induced. And the voltage controller is designed based on the small signal transfer function. Finally, the CRM boost SAR is verified by simulation.

본 논문에서는 태양광 모듈의 최대 전력점을 추종하기 위한 제어 기법으로 부스트 컨버터(boost converter)의 불연속 전류모드(Discontinuous Current Mode)에서 주파수를 제어하는 기법을 구현 하였다. 태양광 모듈에 연결된 부스트 컨버터는 전압루프를 통하여 Perturb and Observation(P&O)기법을 사용하여 최대 전력점을 추종하였다. 부스트 컨버터의 인덕터에 흐르는 전류는 불연속 전류모드로 제어 된다. 불연속 전류모드에서의 제어기 설계는 MATLAB과 PSIM의 전달함수특성을 수학적 모델링을 통하여 비교 검증 하였으며, 모든제어는 MCU(TEXAS INSTRUMENTS사의 DSPF28335)를 통해 디지털로 제어 하였다. 제안된 기법은 단일 PV모듈이 연결된 불연속전류모드 부스트 컨버터를 통해 동작특성을 분석하였다.

Interleaved Dual Boost(IDB) converter can reduce current ripple, switching loss and harmonics without filter in input power line. Moreover, this improve power factor. In this paper, we will use the state average methode and small signal analysis at the Interleaved dual boost converter. 4-type controllers were designed by using control transfer function. The result of these controller simulations is analyzed and proposed a proper controller at IDB

In this paper, interleaved boost converter is applied as a first-stage converter in switch mode power supply. The first-stage converter plays a role to improve power factor. Interleaved Boost Power Factor Corrector(IBPFC) can reduce input current ripple as a single voltage control loop only without inner current loop, because input current is divided each 50% by two switching devices. Each converter cell is also operated in discontinuous current mode and inductor current of each converter is discontinuous. Total input current which is composed by each converter cell is continuous current. Thus, IBPFC is able to improve input current ripple. IBPFC operating in discontinuous current mode can be classified as six modes from switching state and be carried out state space averaging small signal modeling. A control transfer function is obtained according to the modeling. Not only steady-state characteristics but also dynamic characteristics is considered. Single voltage control loop is also constructed by the control transfer function. From experimental result, improvement of power factor and input current ripple are verified.
