An interleaved single-stage AC/DC converter with a boost converter and an asymmetrical half-bridge topology is presented to achieve power factor correction, zero voltage switching (ZVS) and load voltage regulation. Asymmetric pulse-width modulation (PWM) is adopted to achieve ZVS turn-on for all of the switches and to increase circuit efficiency. Two ZVS half-bridge converters with interleaved PWM are connected in parallel to reduce the ripple current at input and output sides, to control the output voltage at a desired value and to achieve load current sharing. A center-tapped rectifier is adopted at the secondary side of the transformers to achieve full-wave rectification. The boost converter is operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to automatically draw a sinusoidal line current from an AC source with a high power factor and a low current distortion. Finally, a 240W converter with the proposed topology has been implemented to verify the performance and feasibility of the proposed converter.

최근 들어, 저전압·대전류 출력 특성을 갖는 연료전지를 위한 새로운 발전시스템이 주목받고 있다. 연료전지 발전시스템에서는 dc-dc 승압용 컨버터와 dc-ac 인버터가 필요하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 연료전지 발전시스템을 위한 ZVS 동작을 가진 dc-dc 능동 클램프 전류형 하프 브리지 컨버터를 제안하였다. 제안된 컨버터는 일반적인 dc-dc 컨버터에 비해 높은 효율과 높은 소자 이용율을 가진다. 연료전지 발전시스템은 연료전지(PEMFC)의 낮은 전압(28∼43[Vdc])을 380[Vdc]로 승압하기 위한 능동 클램프 전류형 하프 브리지 컨버터로 구성하였다. 단상 풀 브리지 인버터는 220[Vac], 60[Hz] 교류 출력을 얻기 위해 적용하였다.

양방향 컨버터는 연료전지 발전 시스템의 인버터 dc link와 저전압 배터리를 연결시켜 준다. 방전 모드(boost)에서는 저전압(battery: 48[V])측에서 고전압(dc link: 380[V])측으로, 충전 모드(buck)에서는 저전압측 배터리로 전력이 전달된다. 본 논문에서는 방전모드 시 MOSFET으로 구성된 1.5[kW] 능동 클램프 전류원 풀 브리지 컨버터가 동작하고 배터리 충전 시 IGBT로 구성된 전압원 하프 브리지 컨버터가 동작한다.

태양광 패널의 큰 기생 커패시턴스에 기인하는 과도한 누설 전류를 피하기 위한 단상 태양광 인버터 중에 부스트 컨버터와 하프브리지 인버터를 종속적으로 결합하는 방식은 가장 단순하면서 누설 전류가 가장 작다. 하지만 직류단 전압이 높아 스위칭 소자의 정격 전압이 높고 스위칭 손실이 크다. 본 논문은 부스트 컨버터를 제거하는 대신에 하프브리지 인버터의 출력 측에 2개의 양방향 스위치를 추가함으로써 벅부스트 인버터로 동작할 수 있는 새로운 회로 토폴로지를 제안한다. 고전압 직류단을 거치는 두 단계의 전력 변환을 한 단계로 줄인 덕분에 전력 손실을 절감할 수 있으며 비용 및 누설 전류는 증가하지 않는다. 제안된 회로 토폴로지의 타당성은 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 및 전력 손실 계산을 통해 검증한다.

A KY converter integrated with a conventional synchronously rectified (SR) boost converter and a coupled inductor is presented in this paper. This improved KY converter has the following advantages: 1) the two converters use common switches; 2) the voltage gain of the KY converter can be improved due to the integration of a boost converter and a coupled inductor; 3) the leakage inductance of the coupled inductor is utilized to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS); 4) the current stress on the charge pump capacitors and the decreasing rate of the diode current can be limited due to the use of the coupled inductor; and 5) the output current is non-pulsating. Moreover, the active switches are driven by using one half-bridge gate driver. Thus, no isolated driver is needed. Finally, the operating principle and analysis of the proposed converter are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.
