Design of single state AC-DC converter with high power factor for low level applications is proposed. The proposed converter is obtained from the integration of a buck-boost converter and the half-bridge DC-DC converter. This converter gives the good power factor correction low line current harmonic distortions and tight output voltage regulations. This converter also has a high efficiency by employing an soft switching method and synchronous rectifier. The modelling and detailed analysis for the proposed converter are performed. To verify the performance of the proposed converter a 100W converter has been designed

This paper proposed DC-DC converter for fuel cell that have high voltage and high current output characteristics. It is required step-up converter to use by general power supply, because the general rated voltage of fuel cell is low about 20$\sim$50V. The miniaturization of converter and DC link voltage can be controlled and high quality of output voltage uses mainly DC-DC converter. The boost converter and buck-boost converter do not get high boosting ratio. It is that proposed boost-flyback converter. Through simulation and an experiment, it could get high boosting ratio and efficiency more than 90%.

본 논문에서는 새로운 변조방식을 사용한 단상 인버터 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 buck-boost 변환기와 인버터로 구성되며 새로운 변조방식인 PWAM(Pulse Width/Amplitude Modulation)방식을 사용하여 제어한다. PWAM방식은 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation)방식과 PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) 방식이 혼합된 새로운 변조방식이며 인버터의 입력단에 위치한 buck-boost 변환기는 일정한 직류전압을 입력으로 받아 가변 직류전압으로 변환한다. 인버터는 buck-boost 변환기에서 출력된 가변 직류전압을 입력으로 하며, PWM 구간에서는 PWM 스위칭을 하고 PAM 구간에서는 인버터가 스위칭을 하지 않음으로써 정현 교류전압으로 변환한다. 제안한 PWAM방식을 사용한 단상 인버터 시스템은 PAM 구간에서 스위칭 동작을 하지 않으므로 기존의 방식에 비해 스위칭 횟수가 감소하여 스위칭 손실을 줄일 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 새로운 소프트 스위칭형 PFC 벅-부스트 AC-DC 컨버터에 대해 연구된다. 제안된 컨버터에 사용된 제어스위치의 턴-온과 턴-오프는 부분공진 동작에 의해 소프트 스위칭으로 되어 스위칭 손실을 줄이고, 입력전류는 듀티율 일정제어에 의한 교류 입력전압의 크기에 비례된 불연속적 유사 펄스열의 정현파 형태를 가진다. 그 결과 컨버터는 효율이 증대되고 입력역률이 증대되는 효과를 가진다. 또한 제안된 컨버터의 출력전압은 제어스위치의 PWM 제어에 의해 조정되고 벅-부스트용 인덕터에 흐르는 전류는 불연속모드로 제어되어 제어회로와 제어기법이 간단한 장점이 주어진다. 제안된 PFC 벅-부스트 컨버터는 기존의 PFC 벅-부스트 컨버터와 비교되어 해석되고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 그 해석적 타당성이 입증된다.

This paper presents a nonlinear method to control a DC-DC converter and track the Maximum Power Point (MPP) of a Photovoltaic (PV) system. A backstepping controller is proposed to regulate the voltage at the input of a buck-boost converter by means of Lyapunov functions. To make the control initially faster and avoid local maximum, a regression plane is used to estimate the reference voltages that must be obtained to achieve the MPP and guarantee the maximum power extraction, modifying the conventional Perturb and Observe (P&O) method. An experimental platform has been designed to verify the validity and performance of the proposed control method. In this platform, a buck-boost converter has been built to extract the maximum power of commercial solar modules under different environmental conditions.

In the buck-boost DC-DC converter which is used at a certain situation such as in factories where loads often change a lot, the switches in the device make big energy loss in operating at Buck-Boost Mode due to hard switching and are affected by lots of stresses which decrease the efficiency rate of the converter. In order to improve this problem, to decrease the loss of snubber and switching, it has been investigated that zero voltage switching mode and zero current switching mode which make the operation of switches with soft switching. For the more sophisticated and advanced device, this paper is presented the Partial Resonant Soft Switching Mode Power Converter which is adapted the power converter having the partial resonant soft switching mode, that makes switches operate when the resonant current or voltage becomes zero by making the resonant circuit partially at turning on and off of the switches with suitable layout of the resonant elements and switch elements in the converter. Also, this paper includes the analysis and simulation of the Partial Resonant type Buck-Boost Chopper.

An interleaved bridgeless buck-boost AC/DC converter is presented in this paper to achieve the characteristics of low conduction loss, a high power factor and low harmonic and ripple currents. There are only two power semiconductors in the line current path instead of the three power semiconductors in a conventional boost AC/DC converter. A buck-boost converter operated in the boundary conduction mode (BCM) is adopted to control the active switches to achieve the following characteristics: no diode reverse recovery problem, zero current switching (ZCS) turn-off of the rectifier diodes, ZCS turn-on of the power switches, and a low DC bus voltage to reduce the voltage stress of the MOSFETs in the second DC/DC converter. Interleaved pulse-width modulation (PWM) is used to control the switches such that the input and output ripple currents are reduced such that the output capacitance can be reduced. The voltage doubler topology is adopted to double the output voltage in order to extend the useable energy of the capacitor when the line voltage is off. The circuit configuration, principle operation, system analysis, and a design example are discussed and presented in detail. Finally, experiments on a 500W prototype are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

The conventional way to implement a bidirectional converter with boost/buck has been to use two general purpose PWM ICs with a single supply voltage. In this case, when one direction mode is in operation, the other is disabled and the output of the error amplifier of the disabled IC may be saturated to a maximum value or zero. Therefore, during mode transition, a circuit which can disable the switching operation for a certain time interval is required making it impossible to get a seamless transition. In this paper, the limitations of the conventional 42V/14V bi-directional DC/DC converter implemented with general current mode PWM ICs with a single supply voltage are reviewed and a new current mode PWM controller circuit with a dual voltage system is proposed. The validity of the proposed circuit is investigated through simulation. and experiments.

This paper investigated the errect of the right-half-plane zero on stability in the buck-boost DC-DC converter which is one type of the switching regulator and the stability region for the variation of the output current is obtained by evaluating the feedback gain. And it is clarified that the damping ratio decreases gradually by increase of the feedback loop gain and the regulation system of the converter becomes unstable, and from the transient response analysis we obtainedthe stability region about this converter. From above result it is known that the stability decreases by the existence of the right-half-plane zero. For the improvement of stability, we carried out one pole compensation in feedback circuit and obtained the avaliable stability region in relation to the gain bandwidth product from the stability and transient response analysis. These results were established experiment.
