This paper proposes a new switching algorithm for an controllable clamp snubber to improve the efficiency of a fly-back converter system. This system uses an controllable clamp method for the snubber circuit for the efficiency and reliability of the system. However, the active clamp snubber circuit has the disadvantage that system efficiency is decreased by switch operating time because of heat loss in resonance between the snubber capacitor and leakage inductance. To address this, this paper proposes a new switching algorithm. The proposed algorithm is a technique to reduce power consumption by reducing the resonance of the snubber switch operation time. Also, the snubber switch is operated at zero voltage switching by turning on the snubber switch before main switch turn-off. Experimental results are presented to show the validity of the proposed controllable clamp control algorithm.

In this study, we designed a digital fuzzy logic controller based on FPGA and microprocessor for MPPT of the solar power generation system. A fuzzy algorithm to control the power tracking function of a boost converter has been built into the FPGA, and applied to the small scaled solar power generation system. The embodied controller showed a stable operation characteristic with the small output voltage ripple for the intensity change of solar radiation. This result proves that the implementation of the power tracking controller using FPGA is an effective way compared to the existing one using microprocessors.

This paper presents a novel soft switching topology with resonant DC-DC converter and inverter. The resonant DC-DC converter consists of the auxiliary switch, resonant capacitor and inductor. All switches in the proposed topology is turn on at ZCS and turn off at ZVS operation. The proposed soft switching technology can be obtained the reduced switching losses and voltage and current stress of the power devices. Therefore, the resonant converter efficiency is higher than conventional boost converter. Simulation results on a 1kW soft switching converter are presented.

This paper proposes the development of double conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply using 3-Level Converter/TNPC Inverter. The Rectifier of proposed system is operating not only 3-Level boost PFC but also battery discharger. The Inverter is converting DC voltage to AC voltage. And in terms of the efficiency, 3-Level TNPC inverter is improved compared to the origin 2-Level type. To verify the validity of proposed system, experiments were carried out.

가변 인덕터를 사용한 고효율 임계 도통 모드 (CRM) 부스트 power factor corrector (PFC) 을 제안한다. 입력 전압에 따라 부스트 인덕턴스 ($L_B$) 을 변화시킴으로써 고효율이 요구되는 $230V_{ac}$의 노미날 입력 전압에서 스위칭 손실을 줄일 수 있다. 가변 인덕터는 코어에 충분한 직류 전류가 흐를 때 투자율이 변하는 코어 본연의 성질을 이용해 구현 가능하다. 노미날 입력시에는 큰 $L_B$을 갖음으로써 스위칭 손실을 줄일 수 있다. $255V_{ac}$ 이상의 큰 입력 전압이 들어오는 경우에는 인덕턴스를 줄여준다. 실험을 통해 제안한 컨버터의 성능을 검증하였다.

This paper is about the suggestion for the development in the commercialization for 3.6kW Class On-Board charger. It is suggesting non-insulation AC-DC Boost Power Factor correction circuit and insulation DC-DC resonant Converter for circuit design. In addition, Input AC voltage in the power supply is DCM control which can be designed to decrease the inductance for the inductor size to be reduced. DCM controls and Interleaved PFC can be designed to decrease the inductor size increasing the power conversions. Also, using the insulation DC-DC resonant converter, the efficiency can be increased. This system is verified using prototype hardware.

This paper suggested a fuel cell generation system which combined interleaved full-bridge converter with half-bridge inverter. High ratio step-up converter is essential to use the power as general voltage source. Full-bridge converter has high efficiency and can boost the input voltage to high output with transformer. With series connected capacitors, interleaved full-bridge converter and half-bridge inverter are combined. Half-bridge inverter has two fewer switches compared to full-bridge type. Also, switching loss can be reduced. The performance is verified through simulation with 1.5[kW] fuel cell generation system.

This paper describes a soft switching using discontinuous inductor current. The soft switching snubber circuit provides ZCS and ZVS for main switch. For high power applications, the input ractifier is fed from a three-phase ac source. The Conventional switching method is hard switching technics, because of the device turn off is ocurred in maximum reactor current. In this time, switching losses are maximised by the hard switching. In generally, soft switching technique has been adjusted with the snubber condenser in order to compensates for this losses. So, it was compared hard switching with soft switching which has proposed in this paper for switching losses, distortion factor by the simulation.
