In this paper, the design method of a step-up DC-DC converter based on PWM control was studied for solar power system application. The operating principle of the switching mode step-up type DC-DC converter was analyzed and the basic design method was studied. For photovoltaic system application, an output voltage feedback control algorithm based on PWM control was developed to enable the converter's output voltage to follow the target voltage under variable input conditions. As a procedure to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, a prototype of a step-up DC-DC converter with a single feedback output voltage was designed and made by boosting the input voltage DC 10V to DC 30V. In experiments with prototypes, it was confirmed that the output voltage of the oscilloscope and LCD accurately followed the target output voltage. In the performance evaluation test, it was confirmed that the output voltage of the oscilloscope and LCD accurately followed the target output voltage by showing an error rate within 1 [%] of the reference voltage.

Recently, the high frequency link boost DC/DC converter has been used widely for PCS (Power Conditioning System) because of the requirements of small size and low cost. However, the high frequency link boost DC/DC converters applied the conventional voltage-fed converter and current-fed converter have some problems like high conduction losses and high surge voltage due to high circulating current and leakage inductance, respectively. To improve these problems, a novel secondary LLC (called SLLC) series resonant converter is proposed in this paper and its theoretical analysis, its operating waveforms, simulation and experimental results for a boost DC/DC converter using SLLC series resonant topology verifies the proposed topology. 800W experimental prototype is tested.

In this paper, the Interleaved AC/DC boost converter using two inductor with voltage-doubler characteristic when it operates with a duty cycle greater than 0.5 is proposed. Generally, the low-line(Input AC 110[V]) operation of the AC/DC boost converter is much less efficient than high-line (Input AC 220[V]) operation. The proposed Interleaved AC/DC boost converter operates as a voltage doubler at low-line. Its low-line range have higher power factor and improved efficiency compared with that of conventional converter. This research proposed the Interleaved AC/DC boost converter for voltage-doubler characteristic. The principle of operation, feature and design considerations is illustrated and the validity of verified through the experiment with a 300[W] based experimental circuit.

In the paper, reactorless high efficiency boost DC/DC converter for EV is proposed. In proposed converter, improves efficiency because decrease power loss when the switches are turned on/off using zero current switching (ZCS) at all switch of primary full bridge. By replacing reactance ingredients of L-C resonance circuit for ZCS with leakage inductance ingredients of high frequency transformer, it reduces system size and expense because of not add special reactor. For validity verification of proposed converter, in the paper implements simulation using PSIM and perform experiment by making 5KW DC/DC converter. In experimental results, efficiency of proposed converter conformed superiority.

The operational characteristics of a resonant DC/DC converter, which can harvest thermoelectric energy, is analyzed, depending on the relative magnitudes of the input voltage and the load voltage. The resonant converter consists of LC resonant circuit connected to DC input source and a resonant pulse converter in which the input energy is transferred to the load as the resonant capacitor voltage is peak. The resonant capacitor doubles the input voltage by the resonance phenomenon. By the relative magnitude between the input voltage and the output voltage, the resonant DC/DC converter operates in three different modes. For boost mode, the peak voltage of the resonant capacitor is smaller than the load voltage. For hybrid mode, the peak voltage of the resonant capacitor is bigger than the load voltage and every switching period has both the boost mode and the direct mode. For the direct mode, the input voltage is bigger than the load voltage and the converter transfers directly the input energy to the load without the switching operation. Operation principles and the feasibility of the converter for the thermoelectric energy harvesting are verified with PSPICE simulation and experiment.

In modern society, various DC power supplies are required to operate the system circuits of various electric devices. A stable DC supply is essential for the normal operation of the circuit and the importance of the converter for this is very high. This study proposed a PWM DC-DC converter circuit that applied a 3-pole 2-zero voltage controller to a KY converter, a step-up DC-DC converter, to maintain a stable supply of output voltage regardless of load fluctuations. In order to prove the normal operation characteristics of the proposed converter circuit, a PSIM simulation and a circuit operation experiment on the PCB board were performed in comparison with the conventional converter circuit.
