In the battery based applications such as electric vehicle and energy storage system, the performance of the system highly depends on the reliability of the battery. However, it is difficult to obtain the accurate information about the state-of-health (SOH) of battery during its operation. In this paper a 3kw battery charger with battery diagnosis function which can estimate the SOH of the battery by using online impedance spectroscopy technique is introduced. For the charger phase shift full bridge converter with synchronous rectification has been adopted to implement the charge and diagnosis functions. The impedance spectroscopy is performed after the charge to obtain the information about the internal impedance of the battery module, hence the SOH can be estimated online by observing the impedance variation of the battery over time. All the design procedure of the proposed charger is detailed and the feasibility of the system is verified by the experimental results.

The full-bridge series resonant converter is analyzed to limit the maximum values of the current and the voltage across resonant capacitor in the case of load short. If the converter is operated in the optimal region derived in this paper, the maximum value of short-circuit current will be smaller or equal to that of the current in steady operation. Since the additional facilities for the protection against load short do not need, converters have advantages in weight, size, and cost.

본 논문에서는 Buck Converter 동작 원리를 이용한 Full-Bridge Inverter를 제안하였다. 제안한 Full-Bridge Inverter는 왼쪽 브리지와 오른쪽 브리지의 구동 주파수를 각각 저주파와 고주파로 구동하여 Buck Converter의 동작과 유사하게 하였다. 동작은 두 가지 모드로 구분되며, 이로 인해 램프에 저주파수 구형파를 인가한다. 램프를 저주파수 구형파로 구동하여 음향공명현상을 피하게 되었으며, 고주파 스위칭으로 인덕터의 부피를 줄였다. 제안한 방법은 시뮬레이션을 통해 증명하였다.

This paper analyzes a resonant inverter to generate plasma. The resonant inverter consists of a full bridge converter, resonant network and reactor to generate a magnetic field for plasma generation. A plasma load has very distinct characteristics compared to conventional loads. The characteristics of plasma load are analyzed through experimental results. This paper presents the study on the resonant network, which was performed in order to determine how to achieve a constant current gain. Another important contribution of this study is the analysis of drop-out phenomenon observed in plasma loads which is responsible for unpredictable shutdown of the plasma generator that requires stable operation. In addition, the design process for the resonant network of a plasma generator is proposed. The validity of this study is verified through simulations and experimental results.

A phase shifted full-bridge PWM converter (PSFBC) has been used as the most popular topology for many applications. But, for the reasons of the cost and performance, the control circuits for the PSFBC have generally been implemented using analog circuits. The studies on the digital control of the PSFBC were recently presented. However, they considered only the digital implementation of the analog controller. This paper presents the modeling and design of the digital controller for the PSFBC in the discrete time domain. The discretized PSFBC model is first derived considering the sampling effect. Based on this model, the digital controller is directly designed in discrete time domain. The simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the proposed modeling and controller design.

This paper suggests the circuit topology to transfer AC power using a detachable transformer The circuit topology for AC output load through the magnetic coupling and its principle of operation are described. It can decrease the size of detachable transformer by employing the high-frequency magnetic coupling. It is shown in this paper that the efficiency of noncontact energy transfer system can be improved by applying both the full bridge converter with PFC function to the 1st side of its and the series resonance to the 2nd side to minimize the effect of the leakage inductance.

This paper proposes a single power-conversion ac-dc converter with a dc-link capacitor-less and high power factor. The proposed converter is derived by integrating a full-bridge diode rectifier and a series-resonant active-clamp dc-dc converter. To obtain a high power factor without a power factor correction circuit, this paper proposes a suitable control algorithm for the proposed converter. The proposed converter provides single power-conversion by using the proposed control algorithm for both power factor correction and output control. Also, the active-clamp circuit clamps the surge voltage of switches and recycles the energy stored in the leakage inductance of the transformer. Moreover, it provides zero-voltage turn-on switching of the switches. Also, a series-resonant circuit of the output-voltage doubler removes the reverse-recovery problem of the output diodes. The proposed converter provides maximum power factor of 0.995 and maximum efficiency of 95.1% at the full-load. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and verified. Experimental results for a 400W ac-dc converter at a constant switching frequency of 50kHz are obtained to show the performance of the proposed converter.
