In this paper, a novel circuit topology of a three-winding coupling inductor-assisting a high-frequency PWM boost chopper type DC-DC power converter with a high boost voltage conversion ratio and low switch voltage stress is proposed for the new energy interfaced DC power conditioner in solar photovoltaic and fuel cell generation systems. The operating principle in a steady state is described by using its equivalent circuits under the practical condition of energy processing of a lossless capacitive snubber. The newly-proposed power MOSFET boost chopper type DC-DC power converter with the three-winding coupled inductor type transformer and a single lossless capacitor snubber is built and tested for an output power of 500W. Utilizing the lower voltage and internal resistance power MOSFET switch in the proposed PWM boost chopper type DC-DC power converter can reduce the conduction losses of the active power switch compared to the conventional model. Therefore, the total actual power conversion efficiency under a condition of the nominal rated output power is estimated to be 81.1 ％, which is 3.7％ higher than the conventional PWM boost chopper DC power conversion circuit topology.

본 논문에서는 BF 컨버터의 Active PFC 시스템을 구성하고, 전력 변환시 입력 전류를 전원 전압과 동상인 정현파로 제어하며 직류 출력 전압을 제어하기 위한 PWM-PFM 제어 기법을 사용하여 역률을 개선하였다. FET와 IGBT를 이용하여 본 논문에서 제시한 Boost 컨버터와 인버터 회로를 구성하였고, 제안된 Boost 컨버터의 제어 회로는 마이크로프로세서 80C196으로 구성하였다. 또한 입력 전압이 30V이고, Boost 인덕터가 1.1 mH일 때 정격 출력은 전압 50V, 전류 IA, 듀티비 (Duty Ratio) 0.5 이상으로 하였다. 부하 저항의 변화에 따른 전압 변화를 PWM-PFM 제어 기법을 이용하여 제어하였고, 전류 성형 기법을 이용하여 역률이 0.96 가지 개선됨을 실험으로써 입증하였다.

본 논문에서는 태양광 발전과 계통 연계를 위한 인터페이스 회로로서 Buck-Boost 형태에 기초한 전류형 PWM 인버터를 제안한다. 제안된 전류형 PU 인버터는 두 개의 Buck-Boost토폴로지를 조합하여 구성하였으며, 입력단의 인덕터 전류를 전류 불연속 모드로 동작시켜 별도의 입력 전류의 검출 없이도 출력단을 단위 역률화 할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 결과적으로 전체 시스템의 간략화가 가능하며, 특히, 부가적인 승압 장치 없이 태양전지 발전 전압 보다 높은 실효치의 교류 출력을 얻을 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 제안하는 인버터에 대한 동작을 이론적으로 분석하고 하드웨어 구현의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 시제품을 제작하고 실험하였다.

Large-scale power converters consist of series or parallel module combinations. In these modular converter systems, the interleaving technique can be applied to improve capacitor reliability by reducing the ripple of the I/O current in which each module operates as a phase difference. However, when applying the interleaving technique for conventional three-level boost converters, the short-circuit period of the converter can be an obstacle. Such problem is caused by the absence of a low-level inductor of the conventional three-level boost converter. To solve this problem, a three-level boost converter with a low-level inductor is proposed and analyzed to enable interleaved operation. In the proposed circuit, the current ripple of the output capacitor depends on the neutral point connections between the modules. In this study, the ripple current is analyzed by the neutral point connections of the three-level boost converter that has a low-level inductor, and the effectiveness of the proposed circuit is proven by simulation and experiment.

This paper proposes an adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) strategy with an enhanced optimal reaching law (EORL) for the robust current tracking control of the boost converter based hybrid power source (HPS) in an electric vehicle (EV). A conventional ASMC strategy based on state observers and the hysteresis control method is used to realize the current tracking control for the boost converter based HPS. Then a novel enhanced exponential reaching law is proposed to improve the ASMC. Moreover, an enhanced exponential reaching law is optimized by particle swarm optimization. Finally, the adaptive control factor is redesigned based on the EORL. Simulations and experiments are established to validate the ASMC strategy with the EORL. Results show that the ASMC strategy with the EORL has an excellent current tracking control effect for the boost converter based HPS. When compared with the conventional ASMC strategy, the convergence time of the ASMC strategy with the EORL can be effectively improved. In EV applications, the ASMC strategy with the EORL can achieve robust current tracking control of the boost converter based HPS. It can guarantee the active and stable power distribution for boost converter based HPS.

This paper suggests anon-isolated high-gain boost converter using voltage-stacking cell. The voltage gain can be increased by adjusting number of voltage-stacking cells and transformer turns-ratio. Test results with 1kW prototype converter show that the voltage gain is three or four times higher than conventional boost converter at unity transformer turns-ratio and about 90% of efficiency is recorded under full load condition.

무선전력전송은 특성상 수신부에 수신되는 전압이 일정하지 않기 때문에 수신부에 넓은 입력 범위를 갖는 정전압 컨버터가 요구된다. 그 중 Buck-Boost 컨버터는 넓은 입력 범위를 갖기 때문에 무선전력전송 수신부의 정전압 컨버터로 많이 사용 되었다, 본 논문에서는 기존의 Buck-Boost 컨버터의 효율 향상을 위해 Synchronous Buck-Boost 컨버터를 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 두 컨버터를 비교하여 개선된 결과를 확인하였다.

The main switch of high-frequency boost converter may be failed because the high switching current or voltage can damage this switch. The high switching stress can be reduced by snubber circuit. In this paper, a new passive snubber circuit which can recover trapped snubber energy without added control is proposed for boost converter. The control of boost converter with proposed snubber is the same as the conventional one. In addition, the energy recovery circuit can be implemented with a few passive components. The analysis for proposed circuit is presented, and the validity of the circuit is verified through simulation and experiment.
