This paper proposes a flyback diode of bridgeless PFC converter as SiC SBD (Schottky Barrier Diode) to achieve high efficiency. In addition, through the explanation of the operation principle of the bridgeless PFC converter, the conduction section of the freewheel diode is shown in the bridgeless PFC converter to verify the contribution of system loss due to the loss of the freewheel diode. The advantages of the SiC SBD device's physical properties and the reverse recovery characteristics are explained, and the efficiency is measured by measuring the turn-on and turn-off losses. The loss was calculated. The simulation results were calculated in consideration of device characteristics and verified through the waveform analysis and comparison of the actual system. In order to consider the device characteristics, the simulation was conducted using the thermal module of PSIM. As a result of the prototype test, the turn-on loss was 0.608W and the turn-off loss was 21.62W, resulting in the total switching loss of 22.228W. The comparison of the two results proved the validity of the experimental method. In addition, a high efficiency of 94.58% is achieved.

This paper proposes a soft-switching interleaved boost converter which is suitable for high step-up and high power applications. Compared to the conventional boost converter the proposed converter can achieve approximately doubled voltage gain using the same duty cycle. The voltage ratings of the switch and diode are reduced to half, which result in the use of devices with lower $R_{DS(ON)}$ and on drop leading to reduced conduction losses. Also, voltage ratings of the passive components are reduced, and therefore the total energy volume is reduced to half. Further, the switch is turned on with ZVS in the CCM operation, and the diode is turned off with ZCS which results in negligible surge caused by diode reverse recovery leading to reduced switching losses. The validity of the proposed converter is proved through a 2kW prototype.

기존 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터의 경우 구조가 간단하고, 모든 스위치의 영전압 스위칭 동작이 가능하기 때문에 고전압/대전력용으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터의 경우 환류구간동안 입력 에너지가 출력으로 전달되지 못하고 순환하므로 도통손실이 큰 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 환류구간이 존재하지 않으며, 출력인덕터 전류 리플을 최소화 할 수 있어 대전류 시스템에 매우 적합한 새로운 Double Ended 능동 클램프 풀 브리지 DC/DC 컨버터를 제안한다. 최종적으로 제안된 회로의 정상상태 동작에 관하여 이론적으로 분석하고, Psim 모의실험을 수행하며, 실제로 1.2KW급 서버용 전원장치에 적용하여 타당성을 검증한다.

The number of transformer and the size of transformer in inverter using 3-phase transformer could be reduced compare with a multi-level inverter using single phase transformer. but still the 3-phase transformer inverter needs many switches. In this study, we proposed the isolated multi-level inverter using 3-phase transformers and common arm, in this paper. Also, using phase angle control method with switching frequency equal to output fundamental frequency, harmonics component of output voltage and switching loss can be reduced. Finally, We tested multi-level inverter to clarify electric circuit md reasonableness through Matlab simulation and experiment by using prototype inverter.

This study proposes a new pulse-width modulation switching pattern for the low conduction loss of a three-level neutral point clamped (NPC)-based dual-active bridge (DAB) converter. The operational principle for a bidirectional power conversion is a phase-shift modulation. The conventional switching method of the three-level NPC-based DAB converter shows a symmetric switching pattern. This method has a disadvantage of high root-mean-square (RMS) value of the coupling inductor current, which leads to high conduction loss. The proposed switching method shows an asymmetrical pattern, which can reduce the RMS value of the inductor current with lower conduction loss than that of the conventional method. The performance of the proposed asymmetrical switching method is theoretically analyzed and practically verified using simulation and experiment.

The parer proposes a power factor correction high efficiency PWM single-phase rectifier. Its good characteristics such as simple PWM control, low switch stress, and low VAR rating of commutation circuits make the proposed rectifier very suitable for various unidirectional power applications. In addition, the proposed rectifier consists of three boost-converter-type IGBT modules with the switching devices located at the bottom leg of the rectifier scheme, which also enables the use of the same power supply in both control and gate driver, thus resulting in simple control and power circuit structure. The detailed principle of operation and experimental results are also included. In particular, the design guide line is also suggested to make the circuit design of the proposed rectifier easy and fast.

This paper proposes a new Pulse Frequency Modulation(PFM)-Series Boost Capacitor(SBC) full bridge DC/DC Converter which features a high efficiency and high power density. The proposed converter controls the output voltage by varying the voltage across the series boost capacitor according to switching frequency and has no freewheeling period due to 50% fixed duty operation. As a result, its conduction loss is lower than that of the conventional phase shift full bridge converter. Moreover, ZVS of all power switches can be ensured along wide load ranges and output current ripple is very small. Therefore, it has very desirable merits such as a small output inductor, high efficiency, and improved heat generation. This paper performs a rationale and PSIM simulation of the proposed converter. Finally, experimental results from a 1.2kW(12V, 100A) prototype are presented to confirm the operation, validity and features of the proposed converter.
