As the Three-level ZVS PWM DC-DC converter operates likewise full-bridge ZVS PWM DC-DC converter and the blocking voltage of each switching device is a half of the DC-link voltage, it is suitable for the high imput voltage applications. However, it has some problems as follows; The blocking voltage of each devices is unbalanced and it causes the power losses of the inner switching devices to be increased. Also, it has narrow load range so that the switching losses and the efficiency are reduced as it goes to the light load. This paper presents an nove Three-level ZVS PWM DC-DC converter, which can reduce the overvoltage of the outer switches, eliminate the unbalance of the voltage sharing between the switches at turn-off due to the stray inductances, and operate from no load to full load. The characteristics and the performances of the proposed Three-level ZVS PWM DC-DC converter are verified by simulation and experimental results

The parallel operation system of UPS is used to increase reliability of power source at critical load. But parallel UPS system has a few defects, impedance is different from each other and circulating current occurs between UPSs, due to line impedance and parameter variation, though controlled by the same synchronization signal. According to such characteristic of parallel UPS, balanced load-sharing control is the most important technique in parallel UPS operation. In this paper, a novel power deviation compensation algorithm is proposed. it is composed of voltage controller to compensate power deviation that be calculated by using active and reactive current deviation between Inverters on synchronous d-q reference frame.

This paper proposes the equalizing charger of series connected batteries which are controlled by the time-sharing method. One-chip microprocessor dectcts the terminal voltage of each battery and then determines the charging time inversely proportional to the terminal voltage so that it decrease the un¬balanced capacity. This system is compact and light, therefore it can be applied to portable equipment such as charger for electric vehicle. And it's so effective as to prevent from overcharging which causes their life to shorten.

3-레벨 ZVS PWM DC/DC 컨버터는 풀브리지 ZVS PWM DC/DC 컨버터와 같은 동작 특성을 가지면서 입력전압의 반을 스위칭 소자의 차단전압으로 갖기 때문에 높은 입력을 갖는 DC-DC 변환시스템에 적합한 구조라 할 것이다. 그러나 부유 인덕턴스의 영향으로 인한 내외측 소자간의 차단전압 불균형의 문제와 경부하에서 영전압 스위칭 동작을 하지 못하므로 부하범위가 작다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 문제점들은 시스템의 신뢰도를 낮추며, 경부하로 갈수록 효율을 떨어뜨리게 된다. 철도 차량과 같은 고압, 대용량의 시스템에서 이러한 문제들은 더욱 두드러 진다. 본 논문에서는 내외측 소자간의 차단전압 불균형의 문제를 없애며, 무부하에서 전부하까지 모든 부하 영역에서 영전압 스위칭 동작을 할 수 있는 새로운 3-레벨 ZVS PWM DC/DC 컨버터를 제시한다. 제안한 회로의 동작 특성과 타당성을 시뮬레이션 및 실험 결과를 통하여 입증한다.

A battery is the device that transforms the chemical energy into the direct-current electrical energy without a mechanical process. Unit cells are connected in series to obtain the required voltage while being connected in parallel to organize capacity for load current. Because the voltage drop down in one set of battery is faster than in two one it may result in the low efficiency of power converter with the voltage drop and cause the system shutdown. However when the system being shutdown. However when the system being driven in parallel a circular-current can be generated,. It is shown that as a result the new batteries are heated by over-charge and over-discharge and the over charge current increases rust of the positive grid and consequently shortens the lifetime of the new batteries. The difference between the new batteries and old ones is the amount of internal resistance. In this paper we can detect the unbalance current using the microprocessor and achieve the balance current by adjusting resistance of each set, The internal resistance of each set becomes constant and the current of charge and discharge comes to be balanced by inserting the external resistance into the system and calculating the change of internal resistance.

A battery is the device that transforms the chemical energy into the direct-current electrical energy directly without a mechanical process. Unit cells are connected in series to obtain the required voltage, while being connected in parallel to organize capacity for load current and to decrease the internal resistance for corresponding the sudden shift of the load current. Because the voltage droop down in one set of battery is faster than in tow one, it amy result in the low efficiency of power converter with the voltage drop and cause the system shutdown. However, when the system being driven in parallel, a circular-current can be generated. The changing current differs in each set of battery because the system including batteries, rectifiers and loads is connected in parallel and it makes the charge voltage constant. It is shown that, as a result the new batteries are heated by over-charge and over-discharge, and the over charge current increases rust of the positive grid and consequently shortens the lifetime of the new batteries. The difference between the new batteries and old ones is the amount of internal resistance. In this paper, we can detect the unbalance current using the micro-processor and achieve the balance current by adjusting resistance of each set. The internal resistance of each set becomes constant and the current of charge and discharge comes to be balanced by inserting the external resistance into the system and calculating the change of internal resistance.
