As a renewable power source, wind power generation has been research interest for many years. And power electronic converters have been developed and applied in variable speed wind turbines. This paper presents the basic development and implementation of space-vector modulated three phase AC-AC matrix converter for variable speed wind power system. Basic matrix converter operation is described, where a new bidirectional switch structure with commutation circuit is used. Finally, experiment results of basic converter operation are shown.

A new driving circuit for the SPSS (Single-Pulse Soft-Switching) PFC converter is proposed. The switching device of a SPSS converter switches once In every half cycle of an AC commercial power source. Therefore, it can be solved many problems caused by the high frequency operation. The proposed SPSS converter achieves the soft-switching operation and the EMI noise can be reduced. The resonant capacitor voltage supplies to the resonant inductor even if the input AC voltage is the vicinity of zero cross voltage. Then, the power factor and input current waveform can be improved without delay time. A new driving circuit achieves the operation of SPSS converter by one switching drive circuit. The proposed converter can be satisfied the IEC standard sufficiently.

Two-stage Power-Factor-Correction (PFC) converters are the most common circuits for drawing sinusoidal and in phase current waveforms from an ac source with a good regulated output voltage. The first stage is a boost PFC converter with average-current-mode control for achieving the near-unity power factor and the second stage is a forward converter with voltage-mode control to regulate the output voltage. Stability analysis and design methods of two-stage PFC converters have previously been discussed using linear models. Recently, new nonlinear phenomena have been detected in pre-regulator boost PFC circuits and a new nonlinear model has been proposed for pre-regulated PFC converters. Therefore, investigation of two-stage PFC converters from the nonlinear viewpoint becomes important because the second stage DC/DC converter adds more complexity to the circuit. So, this paper introduces a study of the stability of two-stage PFC converters. A novel nonlinear model of two-stage PFC converters is proposed. Then, a stability analysis is made based upon this nonlinear model. The high correspondence between the simulated and experimental results confirms our analysis.

This paper suggests a autonomous linear Li-ion battery charger which can safely distribute power between an external power source(AC adapter, auto adapter, or USB source), battery, and the system load. Depending on an external power source's capability, the charger selects proper charging-mode automatically. The charger IC designed and fabricated on Dongbu HITEC's $0.35{\mu}m$ BCD process with layers of one poly and three metals.

In this paper a control method to compensate the fluctuation in source voltage by using reactive current is presented. When the source voltage is changed within $\pm$10[%] range, the unit power factor is carried out. Otherwise, the converter is controlled by variable power factor. By using above control, the converter input voltage is maintained constantly. And then it was certified by simulation with the ACSL and several experiments.

This paper presents a portable power supply equipped with a battery charger. The proposed system can be operated separatedly distinguishing between DC/AC and AC/DC function. The former uses a battery and the latter a line voltage as the power source to operate on an inverter and a battery charger, respectively. To keep the output voltage being sinusoidal and to have the high dynamic performances even In the cases of load variations, a proper control method is adapted. The operational principles and analysis are explained in detail. The validity of the proposed system is proved from the experimental results.

In this paper, a unified control strategy using the current space vector modulation (CSVM) technique is proposed and applied to a bidirectional three-phase DC/AC converter. The operation of the converter changes with the direction of the power flow. In the charging mode, it works as a buck type rectifier; and during the discharging mode, it operates as a boost type inverter, which makes it suitable as an interface between high voltage AC grids and low voltage energy storage devices. This topology has the following advantages: high conversion efficiency, high power factor at the grid side, tight control of the charging current and fast transition between the charging and discharging modes. The operating principle of the mode analysis, the gate signal generation, the general control strategy and the transition from a constant current (CC) to a constant voltage (CV) in the charging mode are discussed. The proposed control strategy has been validated by simulations and experimental results obtained with a 1kW laboratory prototype using supercapacitors as an energy storage device.

This paper propose the high power factor and efficiency buck-boost AC-DC converter because the input current is made sinusoidal wave in single phase alternating current source. The proposed converter is able to minimize switching loss by the partial resonant switching which is for switching devices to operate the zero voltage switching (ZVS) or zero current switching(ZCS) without increasing their voltage and current stresses.

In a single-phase grid-connected power system consisting of a DC/DC converter and a DC/AC converter, the current drawn from renewable energy sources has a tendency to be pulsated and contains second-order frequency ripple components, which results in several drawback such as a power harvesting loss and a shortening of the energy source's life. This paper presents a new second-order harmonic current reduction scheme with a fast dc-link voltage loop for two-stage dc-dc-ac grid connected systems. In the frequency domain, an adequate control design is performed based on the small signal transfer function of a two-stage dc-dc-ac converter. To verify the effectiveness of proposed control algorithm, a 1 kW hardware prototype has been built and experimental results are presented.
