In this paper, a novel 10kV, 50A, 50kHz pulsed power supply based on IGBT stacks is proposed. Proposed scheme consists of series connected 12 IGBT to generate maximum 10kV output pulse and 10kW full bridge phase-shifted zero voltage switching converter to charge DC capacitor voltage. Each IGBTs are sustain the 830V of capacitor voltage at turn off interval. By turn on the each IGBT for the same time it gives the path for the series connection of charged capacitor. From above turn on and off procedure, high voltage repetitive pulse is applied to the load. The synchronization of gating signal is important of series operation of IGBTs. For gating signal synchronization, specially designed gate power circuit using full bridge inverter and pulse transformer is developed to generate IGBT gating signal.

This paper proposes a low voltage high current LLC resonant converter for Green PC. Green PC is composed of a lot of blade PCs, and it is a centralized system to manage them in computer center. Green PC should require that its power supplies have several characteristics such as low output voltage, high output current, and high power conversion efficiency. Conventional PSFB (Phase Shift Full Bridge) converter is usually used as DC/DC converter for computer power supply because it has high power conversion efficiency thanks to ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) operation under middle and high load conditions. However, this converter has some problems such as large switching noise and limitation of ZVS operation under light load condition. In order to improve the performance of power supply for Green PC, a new power supply using popular high efficiency LLC resonant converter for low voltage and high current application is proposed in this paper. The proposed power supply has ZVS capability over the entire load range, thus resulting in good efficiency and high switching frequency. Experimental results verify the performance of the proposed power supply for Green PC using 2[kW] (19[V], 105[A]) rated prototype converter.

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 utility, it needs both a step up converter and an inverter.

Simulation and experiment verify that fuel cell generation system could be applied for the distributed generation.

A high-efficiency method is proposed to suppress magnetic core imbalance in phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) converters. Compared with conventional solutions, such as controlling peak current mode (PCM) or adding DC blocking capacitance, the proposed method has several advantages, such as lower power loss and smaller size, because the additional current sensor or blocking capacitor is removed. A time domain model of the secondary side is built to analyze the relationship between transformer core imbalance and cathode voltage of secondary side rectifiers. An approximate control algorithm is designed to achieve asymmetric phase control, which reduces the effects of imbalance. A 60 V/15 A prototype is built to verify the proposed method. Experimental results show that the numerical difference of primary side peak currents between two adjacent cycles is suppressed from 2 A to approximately 0 A. Meanwhile, compared with the PCM solution, the efficiency of the PSFB converter is slightly improved from 93% to 93.2%.

현재 지구 환경 오염에 관한 관심이 증가하면서, 공해가 없는 자연 에너지원에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 태양전지 분야중 염료감응형 태양전지(DSC)는 Si계 태양전지와 비교하여 낮은 제조비용등 여러 가지 이유로 최근 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 DSC 발전 시스템의 효율 향상이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 태양전지 분야 중에서 독립적인 발전설비가 필요한 도서 및 산간 지역에 전력을 안정적으로 공급할 수 있는 소형발전용의 설비로 "전압 및 전류의 피드백을 통한 DSC Cell의 독립전원의 안정화"에 관해 연구하였다. DSC Cell측의 DC입력을 받아 Boost Converter로 승압 후 Full Bridge 인버터를 사용하여 단상 220V 60Hz의 상용전원으로 변환하였다. 여기서는 32Bit 마이크로프로세서인 DSP TMS320F2812의 A/D변환기능을 이용하여 Boost Converter의 스위칭과 Full Bridge 인버터의 스위칭을 제어하였다. 특히 TMS320F2812의 RTC(Real Time Clock)를 이용하여 출력전압의 안정성 향상에 주목적을 두었다. 실험결과 출력단에서는 220V 변동범위 0.2% 주파수 60Hz의 상용전원을 얻었으며, 프로그램의 개선을 통하여 출력전압의 변동범위를 감소시켜야 될 것이다.

A bidirectional full-bridge CLLC resonant converter using a digital control method is proposed for a LVDC power distribution system. This converter can operate under high power conversion efficiency since the CLLC resonant network has soft switching capability for primary switches and output rectifiers. In addition, the power conversion efficiency of any directions is exactly the same as each other because of the symmetric structure of the converter. Intelligent digital control methods are proposed to regulate output voltage under any power flow directions. A 5kW prototype converter was designed for a high-frequency galvanic isolation of 380V dc buses using a digital signal processor to verify the performance of the proposed topology and algorithms.

In the dissertation, a power conversion system for fuel cell is composed of a PWM inverter with LC filter in order to convert fuel cell voltage to a single phase 220[V]. In addition, new insulated DC-DC converters are proposed in order that fuel cell voltage is boosted to 380[V]. In this paper, it requires smaller components than existing converters, which makes easy control. The proposed DC-DC converter controls output power by the adjustment of phase-shift width using switch $S_5\;and\;S_6$ in the secondary switch which provides 93-97[%] efficiency in the wide range of output voltage. Fuel cell simulator is implemented to show similar output characteristics to actual fuel cell. Appropriate dead time td enables soft switching to the range where the peak value of excitation current in a high frequency transformer is in accordance with current in the primary circuit. Moreover, appropriate setting to serial inductance La reduces communication loss arisen at light-load generator and serge voltage arisen at a secondary switch and serial diode. Finally, TMS320C31 board and EPLD using PWM switching technique to act a single phase full-bridge inverter which is planed to make alternating current suitable for household
