In this paper, we proposed a LED driver that allows to use a long lifetime MLCC with small voltage capacity to replace the electrolytic condenser that has been used at the output part by storing only the voltage fluctuation due to temperature variation in the output condenser. The proposed LED driver can allow to use a long lifetime MLCC with small power loss as the output condenser instead of the conventional electrolytic condenser with short lifetime because it stores only the voltage fluctuation due to the temperature variation of the LED light source in the output condenser by connecting the output condenser with the input power supply in series in the basic topology of the conventional boost DC/DC converter. In this study, we performed a simulation to verify the conventional DC/DC converter and the proposed DC/DC converter. It was shown that the DC/DC converter proposed through the experiment allows to use MLCC as the output condenser and the efficiency can be improved.

From the foregoing papers, it has been clarified that the push-pull current-fed DC-DC converter is excellent in stability as compared with the other conventional DC-DC con-verters. The relation between the stability of the converter and the capacitance of smoothing condenser is analyzed, considering the ESR of smoothing condenser and the 1 st order phase lag of the feedback circuit. From the results, it is known that when the capacitance of smoothing condenser is reduced, the stability of the converter is also excellent as compared with the conventional buck type converter, whereas there are limitations for practical use, since the ripple of output voltage increases by increasing of output current.

This paper describes a detailed simulation model of the static condenser (STATCON) to analyze the dynamic interaction with the ac transmission line. The static condenser was represented by a 12-pulse voltage-source inverter sharing an energy storage dc capacitor. The voltage-source inverter consists of two 6-pulse bridges modeled with ideal gate-turn-off switches. The control system for the static condenser was designed through a mathematical model deduced from the equivalent circuit. Simulation results show that the conceived model is very effective to analyze the dynamic interaction between the static condenser and the ac transmission system.

This paper presents the novel low-performance single-phase voltage regulator which has common arm between the AC/DC and DC/AC power converters and adopts appropriate switching strategy, resulting in the reduction of the number of switching devices. Moreover, by introducing the method to replace the method to replace the conventional AC condenser in filter circuit with the new low-cost type using two DC condenser, the whole voltage regulator system can be more compact, simpler and less expensive than conventional ones. The fully digital controller is designed using high speed DSP, and the proposed system is validated through the experimental results.

Power conversion system must be increased switching frequency in order to achieve a small size, a light weight and a low noise. However, the switches of converter are subjected to high switching power losses and switching stresses. As a result of those, the power system brings on a low efficiency. In this paper, the authors propose a DC-DC boost converter of high power by partial resonant switch method (PRSM). The switching devices in a proposed circuit are operated with soft switching and the control technique of those is simplified for switch to drive in constant duty cycle. The partial resonant circuit makes use of a inductor using step up and a condenser of loss-less snubber. Also the circuit has a merit which is taken to increase of efficiency, as it makes to a regeneration at input source of accumulated energy in snubber condenser without loss of snubber in conventional circuit. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of system is high. The proposed converter is deemed the most suitable for high power applications where the power switching devices are used.

The power conversion system must be increased switching frequency in order to achieve a small size, a light weight and a low noise. This paper proposes a skillful and a concise PWM DC-DC converter employing both zero voltage and zero current high frequency switching(ZVCS) operation. The Proposal ZVCS circuit is composed with resonant circuit using active resonant condenser. And this circuit provides switches with ZVS and ZCS by quasi resonant only that switching transients appear. This operation results in reduction of stress and losses in the power devices and resonant components. Some simulation results are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.
