본 논문에서 소형 휴대기기용 DC-DC 변환기를 위한 전압보호회로를 설계 하였다. 제안하는 전압보호회는 저전압 보호회로(UVLO)와 고전압 보호회로(OVP) 로 구성되며, 비교기와 바이어스 회로를 사용하여 구현하였다. XFAB $1{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 SPICE 모의실험을 통하여 특성 확인을 하였다. 모의실험 결과, 저전압 보호회로(UVLO)는 입력 전압이 4.8 V 이상이 되면 턴-온 되며, 4.2 V 이하가 되면 턴-오프가 되어 저전압의 입력전압이 인가될 때 회로의 오작동을 막을 수 있다. 고전압 보호회로(OVP)는 기준전압 3.8V 이상의 출력전압이 발생하였을 때 회로를 차단하여 소자의 파괴를 막아 안정성과 신뢰성을 높일 수 있다. 또 가상의 DC-DC 변환기 제어회로에 연결한 결과 전압의 이상에 따른 전압보호회로의 동작여부를 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 전압보호회로는 DC-DC 변환기의 보호회로 셀로 유용하게 사용 될 것으로 사료된다.

This paper deals with the blocking of DC-fault current during DC cable short-circuit conditions in HVDC (High-Voltage DC) transmission systems utilizing Modular Multilevel Converters (MMCs), where a new SubModule (SM) topology circuit for the MMC is proposed. In this SM circuit, an additional Insulated-Gate Bipolar Translator (IGBT) is required to be connected at the output terminal of a conventional SM with a half-bridge structure, hereafter referred to as HBSM, where the anti-parallel diodes of additional IGBTs are used to block current from the grid to the DC-link side. Compared with the existing MMCs based on full-bridge (FB) SMs, the hybrid topologies of HBSM and FBSM, and the clamp-double SMs, the proposed topology offers a lower cost and lower power loss while the fault current blocking capability in the DC short-circuit conditions is still provided. The effectiveness of the proposed topology has been validated by simulation results obtained from a 300-kV 300-MW HVDC transmission system and experimental results from a down-scaled HVDC system in the laboratory.

This paper presents a high-efficient and cost effective three-phase AC/DC-DC/AC power conversion system with a single two-switch type active Auxiliary Resonant DC Link (ARDCL) snubber circuit, which can minimize the total power dissipation. The active ARDCL snubber circuit is proposed in this paper and its unique features are described. Its operation principle in steady-state is discussed for the three phase AC/DC-DC/AC converter, which is composed of PWM rectifier as power factor correction (PFC) converter, sinewave PWM inverter. In the presented power converter system not only three-phase AC/DC PWM rectifier but also three-phase DC/AC inverter can achieve the stable ZVS commutation for all the power semiconductor devices. It is proved that the proposed three-phase AC/DC-DC/AC converter system is more effective and acceptable than the previous from the cost viewpoint and high efficient consideration. In addition, the proposed two-switch type active auxiliary ARDCL snubber circuit can reduce the peak value of the resonant inductor injection current in order to maximize total system actual efficiency by using the improved DSP based control scheme. Moreover the proposed active auxiliary two-switch ARDCL snubber circuit has the merit so that there is no need to use any sensing devices to detect the voltage and current in the ARDCL sunbber circuit for realizing soft-switching operation. This three-phase AC/DC-DC/AC converter system developed for UPS can achieve the 1.8% higher efficiency and 20dB lower conduction noise than those of the conventional three-phase hard-switching PWM AC/DC-DC/AC converter system. It is proved that actual efficiency of the proposed three-phase AC/DC-DC/AC converter system operating under a condition of soft switching is 88.7% under 10kw output power.

VSC-HVDC system is vulnerable to a DC fault because the fault current can be injected from AC system to DC system during the fault. Therefore, DC circuit breaker is required to isolate faults in VSC-HVDC system. The inverse current injection method of circuit breaker has been considered as DC circuit breaker. However, the topology has drawback that the breaking time is longer than hybrid circuit breaker using semiconductor devices. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an improved topology of circuit breaker based on inverse current injection method. In addition, the proposed topology will be compared with the existing topology. And we will verify its effects by using the simulation results.

This paper proposes a soft-switching bidirectional dc-dc converter (BDC) with an auxiliary circuit. The proposed BDC can achieve the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) using an auxiliary circuit in the buck and boost operations. The auxiliary circuit supplies optimal energy for the ZVS operation of the main switches. The auxiliary circuit consists of a resonant inductor, a back-to-back switch and two capacitors. A small-sized resonant inductor and an auxiliary switch with a low-rated voltage can be used in the auxiliary circuit. Zero-current switching (ZCS) turn-on and turn-off of the auxiliary switches are possible. The proposed soft-switching scheme has a look-up table for optimal switching of the auxiliary switches. The proposed strategy properly adjusts the turn-on time of the auxiliary switch according to the load current. The proposed BDC is verified by the results of PSIM simulations and experiments on a 3-kW ZVS BDC system.

In this paper, a new conceptual circuit configuration of a 3-phase voltage source, soft switching AC-DC-AC converter using an IGBT module, which has one ARCPL circuit and one ARDCL circuit, is presented. In actuality, the ARCPL circuit is applied in the 3-phase voltage source rectifier side, and the ARDCL circuit is in the inverter side. And more, each power semiconductor device has a novel clamp snubber circuit, which can save the power semiconductor device from voltage and current across each power device. The proposed soft switching circuits have only two active power semiconductor devices. These ARCPL and ARDCL circuits consist of fewer parts than the conventional soft switching circuit. Furthermore, the proposed 3-phase voltage source soft switching AC-DC-AC power conversion system needs no additional sensor for complete soft switching as compared with the conventional 3-phase voltage source AC-DC-AC power conversion system. In addition to this, these soft switching circuits operate only once in one sampling term. Therefore, the power conversion efficiency of the proposed AC-DC-AC converter system will get higher than a conventional soft switching converter system because of the reduced ARCPL and ARDCL circuit losses. The operation timing and terms for ARDCL and ARCPL circuits are calculated and controlled by the smoothing DC capacitor voltage and the output AC current. Using this control, the loss of the soft switching circuits are reduced owing to reduced resonant inductor current in ARCPL and ARDCL circuits as compared with the conventional controlled soft switching power conversion system. The operating performances of proposed soft switching AC-DC-AC converter treated here are evaluated on the basis of experimental results in a 50kVA setup in this paper. As a result of experiment on the 50kVA system, it was confirmed that the proposed circuit could reduce conduction noise below 10 MHz and improve the conversion efficiency from 88. 5% to 90.5%, when compared with the hard switching circuit.

전기 자동차의 배터리 충전용 OBC는 주로 PFC회로와 절연형 DC-DC 컨버터 회로를 포함한 2단으로 구성된다. 일반적으로 PFC 회로로는 구조가 간단한 비절연형 부스트 컨버터가 사용되고, 절연형 DC-DC 컨버터로는 ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching)가 가능한 공진형 컨버터가 이용되고 있다. 전기자동차의 주행거리 증가에 따른 넓은 배터리 출력에 대응하기 위해서는 OBC의 넓은 출력범위가 필요하지만, 이러한 시스템 회로 구성에서는 ZVS를 위한 회로설계의 한계와 제어기 구성이 복잡해지기 때문에 배터리 충전에 요구되는 넓은 범위의 출력에 효과적으로 대응하기에는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 절연형 전류원 방식의 PFC 회로와 벅 DC-DC 컨버터로 구성된 OBC를 제안하였다. 제안된 OBC는 회로 및 제어기 구성이 용이하고, 넓은 출력범위에 대한 대응이 가능하다. 제안된 회로의 유효성을 검증하기 위해 3.3㎾급 시작품을 제작 하였으며, 동작결과 출력전압 150V~400V에서 동작안정성 및 정격 부하 조건에서 최대 효율 94.4%, 최대 역률 99.2%를 확인하였다.
