통상적으로, 기존 단상 AC 전원용 플라이백 컨버터는 75W 이상의 조건에서 역률개선회로를 채용하게 된다. 이에 따라 2-Stage 형태의 회로를 구성해야 하기 때문에, 회로의 부품 수 증가 및 전력 효율을 낮추는 단점이 동반된다. 또한, 다수의 자성소자(인덕터, 트랜스포머) 사용이 필수적이며, 이는 회로의 부피 및 원가 상승의 주요한 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 역률 개선 기능을 가진 밸리필 플라이백 컨버터의 실용적 설계 및 구현 방안을 제시한다. 더불어, 밸리필 정류기의 전해 커패시터 Short 시 방폭 문제를 해결하기 위한 OVP(Over Voltage Protection) 회로의 실용적 설계 방법을 제시하여 제안 회로의 양산 가능성을 증명한다. 본 논문에서는 제안 회로의 이론적 특성을 분석하고, 78W 급 플라이백 컨버터 시작품의 실험적 분석을 통해 그 타당성을 검증한다.

This paper proposed simplified method to complicated Power Stage with a new On-line UPS scheme by replacing essential battery-voltage booster with a dual-functional PFC. Direct Load Voltage (${V_o}$) can not be applied to high voltage switching converter due to ripple from traditional Power Factor Correction (PFC) but Boost Function of On-line UPS is united so that the cost of system design and development is inexpensive. Through varification of experimental result, proposed UPS scheme shows its performance, low cost and high power density.

A new converter to transfer energy from a low-voltage AC current source to a battery is proposed. It is focused to find operational modes of the converter. The low-voltage AC current source is an equivalent of the piezoelectric generator, which converts the mechanical energy to the electric energy. The converter consists of a full-bridge MOSFET rectifier and a MOSFET boost converter in order to make the converter small and efficient. The operational principle and modes of the converter are investigated with the consideration of effects of the parasitic capacitances of MOSFETs and diode. The results are proved with simulation studies using PSIM and Pspice.

본 논문에서는 출력 인덕터 리플과 2차 측 정류기의 공진 전압을 저감할 수 있는 다중 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 총 8개의 스위치가 사용되며, 각 4개의 스위치가 하나의 위상천이 풀 브리지 인버터 부를 구성하는 구조이다. 기존 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터의 경우, 진상레그와 지상레그의 위상차이를 조절하여 출력전압을 제어하는데 반해, 제안된 회로는 진상레그와 지상레그의 위상차이 뿐만 아니라 각 풀 브리지 인버터 부의 위상차이를 동시에 조절하여 출력전압을 제어하는 것이 특징이다. 이를 통하여 제안회로는 출력 인덕터 전류 리플 및 2차 측정류기의 공진 전압을 크게 저감시킬 수 있어 고 효율화에 유리하다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로의 이론적 해석 및 PSIM 모의실험을 수행하며, 450W급 시작품을 제작하여 제안회로의 타당성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 출력 인덕터 전류의 리플을 저감할 수 있는 새로운 방식의 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 2개의 풀 브리지 인버터가 연결된 구조로 되어 있으며 하나의 풀 브리지 인버터가 고정 위상($0^{\circ}$)으로 동작할 때, 다른 풀 브리지 인버터의 위상을 조절하여 출력 전압을 제어하는 방식이다. 정상 동작 시, 제안회로는 기존 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터에 비해 출력 인덕터 전류 리플이 매우 작고, 2차 측 정류기의 공진 전압도 작아져 출력 LC 필터의 소형화 및 고효율화가 가능하여 대전류 사양에 매우 적합한 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로의 이론적인 특성을 분석하고, 450W 전원장치를 시작품으로 제작하여 그 우수성을 확인하였다.

In a wireless power transmitter, the characteristics and effects of wireless power transmission between two induction coils are investigated, and a power converter circuit and a battery charger/discharger circuit using wireless power transmission technology are proposed. The advantage of wireless power transmitters and wireless chargers is that, instead of the existing plug-in-mounted wired charger (OBC; on-board charger), the user can wirelessly charge the battery without connecting the power source when charging power to the battery. There is. In addition, the advantage of wireless charging can bring about an energy efficiency improvement effect by using the secondary side rectifier circuit and the receiving coil, but the large-capacity long-distance wireless charging method has a limitation on the transmission distance, so many studies are currently being conducted. The purpose of the study is to study the transmitter circuit and receiver circuit of a wireless power transmission device using a primary coil, a secondary coil, and a half bridge series resonance converter, which can transmit power of a non-contact type power transmitter. As a result, a new topology was applied to improve the power transmission distance of the wireless charging system, and through an experiment according to each distance, the maximum efficiency (95.8%) was confirmed at an output of 3 kW at an 8 cm transmission distance.

The electrical load testing system developed from this study was designed to control rated-capacity-testing or variable-load-testing in an active and precise manner and save electric energy during testing, and also to convert the saved electric energy through the electrical load testing system to grid line. As for the device under testing, it was designed to be applied to not only transformer, rectifier, voltage regulator, inverter which require grid voltage source but, also applied to electric power, aerogenerator, photovoltaic, hybrid generator, battery, etc. which do not require grid voltage source. The system was designed to return the power consumed during the testing to the grid line by connecting the synchronizing pwm inverter circuit to the grid voltage source, and was also made to enable the being-tested system from disuse of approximately 93.4% energy when compared to the conventional load testing system which has used the passive resistor.

In this paper, a contactless power supply using half-bridge series resonant converter that achieves ZVS operation of main switches and ZCS operation of secondary side diodes is proposed. Since the proposed contactless power supply using half-bridge series resonant converter operates with lower switching frequency than the resonant frequency, it can achieve ZCS operation of secondary side diodes due to discontinuous resonant current. And it is also possible to control the converter in narrow frequency range and to obtain high voltage gain, which, in turn, offers low turns ratio for the transformer and high efficiency. Based on the theoretical analysis and simulation results, the 3.15W prototype is built and the final experimental results are described.

As international environmental regulations on ship emissions are gradually strengthened, interest in electric propulsion and hybrid propulsion ships is increasing, and various solutions are being developed and applied to these ships, especially stabilization of the power system and system efficiency. The direct current distribution system is being applied as a way to increase the power. In addition, verification and testing of safety and performance of marine DC distribution systems is required. As a result of establishing a DC distribution test bed, verifying the performance of the DC distribution (variable speed power generation) system, and analyzing fuel consumption, this study applied a variable speed power generation system that is applied to DC power distribution for ships, and converted the power output from the generator into a rectifier. A system was developed to convert direct current power to connect to the system and monitor and control these devices. Through tests using this DC distribution system, the maximum voltage was 751.5V and the minimum voltage was 731.4V, and the voltage fluctuation rate was 2.7%, confirming that the voltage is stably supplied within 3%, and a variable speed power generation system was installed according to load fluctuations. When applied, it was confirmed through testing that fuel consumption could be reduced by more than 20% depending on the section compared to the existing constant speed power generation system.
