In recent years, having the advantages of being small, low in cost and high in efficiency, Half-wave resonant type, (having only one output diode), is used in ZVS Half-Bridge DC/DC converter. This paper presents the operation mode by multi-resonant factors in the Half-wave type multi-resonant converter with direct Buck chopper circuit operated in discontinuous current mode. To study the characteristics of a multi-resonant operation in steady-state, the characteristic impedances in each mode and safe operation-region(S.O.R) are reported. Computer simulation and experimental data are also riven to verify the theoretical results.

In this study, self-tuning adaptive control using state observer is developed. Self-tuning adaptive controller that estimates the parameters of the system in real time and generates the optimal control signals has robust characteristic about varying load and external disturbances. In addition, state observer without sensors is applied, thus the control can be performed more quickly and exactly. Since chopper is used commonly in practical drives, the characteristics of the chopper are included in state observer algorithm, which, in turn, makes the system exact estimation. Since series type DC motor has nonlinear models, linearizing approach are investigated. to realize the proposed algorithm it requires fast calculation in real time. TMS320C31, digital signal processor, is applied to realized the adaptive control algorithms.

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.

This paper presents a two-paralleled 4 quadrant DC chopper type PWM power conversion circuit in order to generate a gradient magnetic field in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. This power amplifier is connected in parallel with the conventional 4-quadrant DC chopper using IGBTs at their inputs/outputs to realize further high-power density, high speed current tracking control, and to get a low switching ripple amplitude in a controlled current in the Gradient Coils (GCs). Moreover, the power conversion circuit has to realize quick rise/fall response characteristics in proportion to various target currents in GCs. It is proposed in this paper that a unique control scheme can achieve the above objective. DSP-based control systems realize a high control facility and accuracy. It is proved that the new control system will greatly enlarge the diagnostic target and improve the image quality of MRI.

본 논문에서는 대형 LED lamp용 직렬 공진형 direct ac-dc 컨버터를 제안하였다. 교류상용전원을 통한 LED lamp에 전원 공급 시, 입력전류의 왜곡을 방지하기 위해, PFC ac-dc 컨버터가 적용된다. 하지만 PFC 컨버터의 특성에 따라 회로의 복잡도 및 수용 전력의 한계가 존재한다. 제안된 컨버터는 기존의 전력변환 방식과 다른 형태로서, 교류 쵸퍼(AC chopper)와 직렬공진회로가 혼합된 구성을 가지며, 교류 쵸퍼의 직접 전력 변환을 통해 PFC 회로 구성없이도 고 역률을 획득할 수 있으며, 직렬공진회로를 통하여 제안된 컨버터의 모든 스위치의 영전압 스위칭(ZVS) 턴-온동작을 통해 손실저감을 도모한다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 컨버터의 동작원리를 간단히 설명하고, 250W의 프로토 타입을 통하여 제안된 컨버터의 우수성을 검증한다.

This paper is studied the new speed control system of the DC motor which can drive constant speed at variable load as well as reduce the homonics. System is used thyristor-Leonard circuit with 2-tap in order to reduce the homonics problems due to chopping dc input voltage in chopper system and semiconductor devices in thyristor-Leonard system. There is added to the PLL system to drive the constant speed in variable Load, which has controlled of variable speed in DC motor. Thereby, we have proved its through experiment.

Recently, as exactly clean source, the research of photovoltaic power generation is undertaken actively and widely. In this paper, an auxiliary power supply system which is composed of photovoltaic generation and DC-DC boost chopper is described. This system in mainly for Air-conditioner appliances is which AC source is formed through rectifying circuit and without electrical storage battery. There exist two operating modes depending on the power quantity of the solar cells and the load. The control algorithm is discussed.

The author present a modified multi-loop algorithm Including feedforward for controlling a 55kW stepdown chopper in the power supply of Maglev The gains of the control algorithm were selected based on pole locations formulated from a prototype Bessel transfer function model. The design incorporate tradeoffs in DC-to-DC converter hard-ware para-meters and pole locations. This perturvation is derived by subtracting the desired output voltage from the actual output voltage. The proportional and integral action stabilizes the system and minimizes output voltage error. In order to verify the validity of the proposed multi-loop controller, simulation study was tried using Matlab simulink.
