Recently, a fuel cell is remarkable for new generation system. The fuel cell generation system converts the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy. The fuel cell generation is characterized by low voltage and high current. For connecting to general load, it needs both a step up converter and an inverter. The step up converter makes DC to DC and the inverter changes DC to AC. In this paper, full bridge converter and the single phase inverter are designed and installed for fuel cell. Simulation and experimental results are displayed under several load conditions.

최근 FPD 산업에서 물류이송장비의 전원장치로 비접촉 전원장치에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 양산 라인에 적용되고 있는 물류장비의 비접촉 전원장치는 주로 직선구간을 왕복하고, 이송대차가 한 대인 경우에 적용하고 있다. 그러나 곡선 구간과 이송대차가 다수인 경우의 물류이송장비에는 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문은 직 곡선 구간이 혼용되어진 구조이고, 이송대차가 한 대 이상으로 구동되는 물류이송장비의 비접촉 전원장치 시작품에 적용하였고, 적용된 비접촉 전원장치의 회로 구조는 풀 브릿지 구조를 갖는 직 병렬 공진 DC/DC 컨버터 회로로 하여 회로해석, 제어방법, 특성평가, 실험을 통한 적용 가능성에 대한 연구를 행하였다. 또한 비접촉 전원장치의 전체 제어는 1차측 전원공급장치에 일정한 공진전류를 제어하기 위해 듀티 제어를 사용하였고, 2차측 전원공급장치의 출력전압을 일정하게 유지하기 위해 다수의 이송대차가 자체 제어를 하도록 구성하였다. 실제 2대의 이송대차를 제작하여 직 곡선 구간을 구성하고, 물류이송장비를 운용하여 양호한 특성으로 적용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문은 높은 승,강압비를 가지는 배터리 충방전용 양방향 풀브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 기존의 양방향 컨버터는 승강압비가 낮아 밧데리 방전시 발생된 전기에너지를 저항을 통해 방전 시켜서 운전하였다면, 본 논문에서 제안하는 방식은 밧데리 방전시 높은 승압비로부터 높은 DC 링크 전압을 얻어, 이 전압을 이용하여 계통으로 회생시킬 수 있도록 한 양방향 컨버터이다. 양방향 컨버터의 높은 승압비를 얻기 위해서 두 개의 DC-DC 컨버터를 입력 직렬, 출력 병렬 회로 형태로 연결하고, Battery 측을 Interleave 방식을 채택하여 전류 맥동을 줄이고, 높은 승강압비를 얻을 수가 있도록 하여, 배터리의 수명에 영향을 주는 전류리플을 감소하는 효과를 얻는다. 제안된 방식은 시뮬레이션을 통해 증명하였다.

In this paper the new converter topology using single-Phase full bridge inverter for the switched reluctance motor drives is proposed. The proposed SRM drives are supplied by the AC pulse voltage source, while the conventional drives are supplied by the DC voltage source. Speed of the SRM is controlled by adjusting the frequency and the multitude of output current of inverter. The SRM using the proposed converter reduces the switching loss and the machine core loss, and has ability to pre-regulate the input voltage. The total number of power switches become fewer than another topology as a number of stator poles becomes more. Power circuit of an inverter is simpler and its volume is smaller because the module device involving several switches is used as an inverter.

A soft switching converter with wide voltage range operation is investigated in this paper. A series resonant converter is implemented to achieve a high circuit efficiency with soft switching characteristics on power switches and rectifier diodes. To improve the weakness of the narrow voltage range in LLC converters, an alternating current (ac) power switch is used on the primary side to select a half-bridge or full-bridge resonant circuit to implement 4:1 voltage range operation. On the secondary-side, another ac power switch is adopted to select a full-wave rectifier or voltage-doubler rectifier to achiever an additional 2:1 output voltage range. Therefore, the proposed resonant converter has the capacity for 8:1 (320V~40V) wide output voltage operation. A single-stage hybrid resonant converter is employed in the study circuit instead of a two-stage dc converter to achiever wide voltage range operation. As a result, the study converter has better converter efficiency. The theoretical analysis and circuit characteristics are verified by experiments with a prototype circuit.

In this paper, configuration of $1-{\phi}$ seven-level boost DC-link cascade based reversing voltage multilevel inverter (BDCLCRV MLI) is proposed for uninterrupted power supply (UPS) applications. It consists of three level boost converter, level generation unit and full bridge circuit for polarity generation. When compared with conventional boost cascaded H-bridge MLI configurations, the proposed system results in reduction of DC sources, reduced power switches and gate drive requirements. Inverter switching is accomplished by providing appropriate switching angles that is generated by any optimization switching angle techniques. Here, round modulation control (RMC) method is taken as the optimization method and switching angles are derived and the same is compared with various switching angles methods i.e., equal-phase (EP) method, and half-equal-phase (HEP) method which results in improved quality of obtained AC power with lowest total harmonic distortion (THD). Reduction in DC sources and switch count makes the system more cost effective. A simulation and prototype model of $1-{\phi}$ seven-level BDCLCRV MLI system is developed and its performance is analyzed for various operating conditions.

This paper presents development of 6kw ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) boost converter by 4-parallel operation. To realize a high capacity converter with 6 kw, 4-parallel operation of 1.5kW unit module is proposed in this paper. To meet high ratio input to output voltage, isolated type booster converter is designed. To achieve ZVS operation of 4-switches of full bridge and protect a voltage overshoot caused by switch turn-off, simple active-clamp circuit is applied to the primary side. For parallel operation of 4-modules, master-slave control method is proposed to achieve input current sharing of 4-unit converter modules accurately. For performance tests, simulation is carried out. Also, load and experimental tests of the developed booster converter, 230Vdc/6kW, are carried out under various conditions. For field tests, the developed converter is applied for boosting a battery power to high DC_link voltage for a VSI inverter which starts a micro-turbine(MT) installed in vehicle and it's performance is verified through high speed motoring a MT up to tens of thousands of rpm.

This paper presents a design and parallel control strategy of 1.8 kW low-voltage DC-DC converter (LDC) for mild hybrid electric vehicles to improve their power density, system efficiency, and operation stability. Topology and control scheme are important on the LDC for mild hybrid electric vehicles to achieve high system efficiency and power density because of their very low voltage and large current in input and output terminals. Therefore, the optimal topological structure and control algorithm are examined, and a detailed design methodology for the power and control stages is presented. A working sample of 1.8 kW LDC is designed and implemented by applying the adopted topology and control strategy. Experimental results indicate 92.45% of the maximum efficiency and 560 W/l of power density.

This study proposes a 7kW low-voltage DC-DC converter (LDC) using a coupled inductor (CI) for heavy hydrogen electric transport vehicles. The LDC uses a phase-shift manner for soft switching. SiC-MOSFET is used to reduce the loss of reverse recovery current through the use of a high switching frequency. LDC is require large transformer and inductor because of large output current. The size of transformer and inductor can be reduced by deviding the transformer and inductor into two pieces each. This work presents the experimental results of the proposed circuit.
