Two-Stage Direct Power Converter(TSDPC) has many merits that possible bidirectional power flow, input power factor own control and system using imaginary DC-link. But TSDPC has some demerits that need many switching devices and switching loss. This paper suggest optimal TSDPC control scheme for improvement for switching loss part by changing the space vector approval times. This paper is verified that 9% improvement in switching efficiency and proposed system has lower harmonic of input currents and output voltage.

In this paper, a power electronic converter which is composed of two converters - bidirectional AC/DC converter and Series Active Power Filter (SAPF), is discussed. Structural schemas and ways of operation of control systems of converters, which are used to eliminate non sinusoidal parts of the network source voltage, are presented. At the same time, the control used stabilizes the value of the voltage feeding the load. Taking in consideration the combined functions which the device executes, it may be called Unified Voltage Conditioner - UVC.

One important test for formation and grading of the lithium-ion battery is to confirm the performance of the battery while discharging battery down to zero volts. In this paper, a novel charge/discharge converter with zero-voltage discharge function is proposed. The proposed converter is able to discharge the battery until the voltage reaches to zero volts. The phase-shifted full bridge method is used to charge the battery and the current-fed push-pull method with bidirectional switches is used for the discharge. The ZVS turn-on is achieved in the charge operation and the ZVS turn-off in the discharge operation. The performance of the system is verified by the experiments using lithium-ion batteries.

This paper proposes advanced RFB PCS for islanded environment. To accommodate islanded system, power conditioning needs voltage control authority changing. RFB initial power generating method is proposed for the Islanded PCS. DC-link voltage control authority is changed to PV converter to bidirectional converter by proposed control logic. The control performance has been verified with hardware experiments.

This paper proposes residential hybrid distribution system that can supply AC power and DC power to AC load and DC load at the same time. This hybrid distribution system consists of three parts: bidirectional inverter, step-up converter and step-down converter. Also that is used to supply voltage to home application is classified of AC load and DC load as load characteristics. The performance of proposed hybrid distribution system is validated through the hardware implementation and the experimental results.

This paper describes a single pulse-width modulation control strategy using the Single Pulse-Width Modulation (SPWM) method with a soft-switching technique for a wide range of output voltages from a bidirectional Dual-Active Bridge (DAB) converter. This method selects two typical inductor current waveforms for soft-switching, and proposes a rule that makes it possible to achieve soft-switching without any compensation algorithm from the waveforms. In addition, both the step-up and step-down conditions are analyzed. This paper verifies that the leakage inductance is independent from the rule, which makes it easier to apply in DAB converters. An integrated algorithm, which includes step-up and step-down techniques, is proposed. The results of experiments conducted on a 50-kW prototype are presented. The system efficiency is experimentally verified to be from 85.6% to 97.5% over the entire range.

본 논문은 새로운 단일전력변환 SEPIC(Single-Ended Primary-Inductor Converter)-ZETA 절연형 양방향 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 SEPIC과 ZETA 컨버터가 결합된 구조로 절연을 통해 안정성을 강화했고, DC측 리플 전류가 낮아 에너지 저장장치의 수명을 연장시킨다. 그리고 SEPIC 컨버터 모드(DC/AC)와 ZETA 컨버터 모드(AC/DC)에서의 입출력 전압비가 동일해 양방향 제어 알고리즘이 간단하다. 또한, 기존 two-stage 구성의 양방향 컨버터와 달리 회로가 단순하며, 단일전력변환을 통한 고효율 저비용의 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이론적 해석 및 제안한 컨버터의 250W급 시작품을 이용한 실험결과를 통해 컨버터의 우수성 및 성능을 검증한다.

In this paper, A voltage source PWM converter which achieves bidirectional power flow between a $3{\phi}$ AC supply and a DC bus voltage is described. And the paper considers both the steady state and transient response of such a device, and develops mathematical models to describe its performance under the digital control system. As a result the AC line current becomes sinusoidal and the input power factor is improved to unity.
