A modular photovoltaic PCS with high-frequency isolation is proposed. The proposed system consists of a SEPIC converter and a full-bridge inverter Using the power slope versus voltage of the PV array, the MPPT controller is proposed that produces a smooth transition to the maximum power point. The dc current of the PV array is estimated without using a dc current sensor The disturbance of the line voltage is detected using a fast sensing technique. Experimental results obtained on a 500W prototype show high performance such as almost unity power factor, $90\%$ power efficiency, $3.6\%$ THD.

In this paper, development of laser diode driver with 2.5kW rating is presented. The driver is configured with interleaved PFC converter, high frequency full bridge DC-DC converter, two laser diode drivers and ${\mu}$-processor based controller. The system has two laser diode drivers for providing high current and low current. High current driver delivers normal output power of diode; low current driver is for providing critical current of diode for long lifetime. Computer simulation and experiment was performed for verification, as the results, developed driver performs well.

This paper suggests an isolated PFC converter for electric vehicle (EV) chargers with wide-output voltage range. The proposed converter is based on voltage-fed full-bridge structure. All the harmonic and output controls are performed by secondary and primary switches are only operated under a fixed frequency with 50% duty-ratio. In addition, harmonic modulation technique is adopted to obtain a near unity power factor without input current monitoring. The feasibility of the proposed charger has been verified with a 10-kW prototype.

A high-efficiency and small-sized switched-mode line transformer (SMLT) is proposed in this study. The conventional structure of an adapter is composed of line transformer and rectifiers. This structure has a limit in miniaturizing due to low-frequency line transformer. Another structure is composed of power factor correction (PFC) and DC/DC converter. This structure has a limit in reducing volume due to two-stage structure. As the proposed SMLT is composed of an LLC resonant converter, a high-frequency transformer can be adopted to achieve isolation standards and size reduction. This proposed structure has different operation modes in accordance with line input voltage to overcome poor line regulation. In addition, the proposed SMLT is applied to the front of a conventional PFC converter, because the SMLT output voltage is restored to rectified sinusoidal wave by using a full-bridge rectifier in the secondary side. The design of the PFC converter is easy, because the SMLT output voltage is controlled as rectified sinusoidal wave. The validity of the proposed converter is proven through a 350 W prototype.

This paper presents ZVZCS(Zero-Voltage and Zero-Current Switching) Three Level DC/DC Converter without primary freewheeling diodes. The new converter presented in this paper used a phase shirt control with a flying capacitor in the primary side to achieve ZVS for the outer switches. A secondary anxiliary circuit which consists of one small capacitor, two small diodes and one coupled inductor, is added in the secondary to provide ZVZCS conditions to primary switches, ZVS for outer switches and ZCS for inner switches. Many advantages include simple secondary auxiliary circuit topology, high efficiency, and low cost make the new converter attractive for high power applications. Also the circulating current flows through the circuit so that it causes the needless coduction loss to be occurred in the devices and the transformer of the circuit The new converter has no primary auxiliary diodes for freewheeling current. The principle of operation, feature and design considerations are illustrated and verified through the experiment with a 1[㎾］ 50[KHz］IGBT based experimental circuit.

Nowadays, source of MEMS, USN, Hybrid parts pay attention to energy harvesting. On this paper, energy harvesting was studied using piezoelectric effect. And, piezoelectric generator was designed and fabricated. Generators were designed by FEM simulation program and generators were made by attaching cymbal type metal plates on upper and bottom sides of a disc type piezoelectric ceramic. Output AC power was rectified to DC power by full bridge circuit and converted to regular voltage power by DC-DC converter. The final output power was charged to Ni-Cd battery. Using fabricated generators, output voltages dependant on thickness of ceramic, displacement of vibration, frequency of vibration were measured.

전기자동차 배터리팩을 충전하기 위한 장치인 차량용 OBC(On-Board Charger)는 AC/DC 컨버터 기능을 담당하는 PFC(Power Factor Correction)와 DC/DC 전력변환 및 전기적 절연을 담당하는 Phase-Shifted Full Bridge Converter를 포함 한다. 현재 시중에 3.3kW급 OBC를 기준으로 규격화되어 생산되고 있지만 전기자동차의 배터리 용량이 날로 증가하고 전기자동차 보급, 사용률이 증가함에 따라 완속충전에 대한 요구가 높아지고 있다. 여기에 전력 인프라 시설 개선과 더불어 6.6kW급 완속충전이 보편화될 수 있게 된다. 차량용 OBC 공급업체에 있어서는 기존의 3.3kW급과 6.6kW급 OBC의 개발 중 어느 쪽에 중심을 둘지 고민에 대한 대안으로 기존의 3.3kW급을 모듈화하여 병렬운전하는 방법으로 6.6kW급 OBC 시장수요에 대응 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 3.3kW급 OBC 및 2병렬운전에 관한 시뮬레이션을 개발하고 분석하였다.

The three-phase full(6-pulse) bridge controlled rectifier is one of the most widely used types of solid-state converters in DC drive applications for higher performance. In most of the previous designs gate control circuits of the converter have been designed with analog method, whitch can be easily affected by noise. In this study microprocessor and pheripal LSIs are used for eliminating these problems and successful results have been obtained.
