This paper proposes a new commutation circuit for a PWM Cuk AC-AC converter. The proposed commutation circuit utilizes a modified Undeland snubber as a commutation aid. The snubber circuit has some good features such as reduction of voltage/current stress of the main switches and improved efficiency. The experiment results show the adaptability and feasibility of the proposed commutation circuit.

휴대용 전자기기들의 소비전력 증가에 따라 2차전지에 비해 에너지 밀도가 높은 연료전지를 이용한 충전기의 필요성이 부각되고 있다. 대다수의 충전기는 On-Grid 방식으로 벅타입 컨버터를 이용한 감압 방식이었으나, 연료전지를 이용할 경우 승압식 컨버터를 통한 배터리의 충전이 요구된다. 또한 배터리는 일반 저항부하와 달리 큰 커패시턴스 성분을 가지고 있기 때문에 컨버터의 출력단에 인덕터가 없는 경우 큰 출력 리플전류를 유도하게 되어 시스템의 효율과 배터리의 수명에 좋지 않은 영향을 끼치게 된다. 또한 이를 해결하기 위해 절연형 감압 컨버터를 사용하는 경우 변압기 사용에 의한 부피 증가와 부가 소자의 사용에 따른 가격 상승을 피하기 어렵다. Cuk 컨버터는 주스위치의 ON/OFF 동작에 관계없이 출력으로 에너지가 항상 전달되며, 이상적으로 리플이 거의 존재하지 않아 충전용으로 적합하다. 또한, 승압 및 감압이 자유롭기 때문에 배터리의 정격전압에 상관없는 범용 충전기의 설계도 가능하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Cuk 컨버터를 이용하여 배터리 충전기를 설계하고, 그의 상태공간 모델링, 주파수 특성 해석 및 제어기 설계에 대해 기술한다. 제안된 제어 방식은 소형 연료전지 스택을 이용하여 실제 배터리를 대상으로 한 정전류 및 정전압 제어를 실행하여 그 성능 및 안정성을 검증한다.

본 논문에서는 소형 PEM(Proton Exchange Membrane) 연료전지를 이용하는 충전기에 관해 서술한다. 기존에 개발된 대부분의 충전기는 On-Grid 방식으로 벅타입 컨버터를 이용한 감압 충전방식을 사용하였으나, 연료전지를 이용할 경우 승압식 컨버터를 통해 배터리를 충전하여야 한다. 그러나 승압형 컨버터의 출력단에 인덕터가 없는 경우 큰 리플전류를 유도하게 되며, 이는 시스템의 효율 및 배터리의 수명에 좋지 않은 영향을 끼치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 Cuk 컨버터를 이용하는 충전용 전력변환기의 제어방법에 관해 제안하고 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, two lossless snubber cells are proposed to generalize high frequency converter with losslless snubber. The selecting of snubber cells, which generalize high frequency converters, are depended on converter topologies. The cells have a saturable inductor, LC resonant tank and two diodes. In the cells, the saturable inductors extremely reduce resonant energy in the LC resonant tank. By minimizing resonant energy, the converter, which applies snubber cells, can operate at high frequency. These cells are applied for Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost, Cuk, ZETA, and SEPIC to generalize converter which have lossless snubber. The boost type converter has been implemented, with 400 kHz switching frequency for 125 W load to verify the converter characteristics.

This paper proposes a snubber circuit for a PWM Cuk AC-AC converter. The proposed snubber makes use of an Undeland snubber as a commutation aids. So the snubber keeps such good features as small count of snubber elements, reduction of voltage/current stress of main switching devices and improved efficiency. This paper shows simulation results to verify the adaptability and feasibility of the proposed snubber.
