This paper proposed DC-DC converter for fuel cell that have high voltage and high current output characteristics. It is required step-up converter to use by general power supply, because the general rated voltage of fuel cell is low about 20$\sim$50V. The miniaturization of converter and DC link voltage can be controlled and high quality of output voltage uses mainly DC-DC converter. The boost converter and buck-boost converter do not get high boosting ratio. It is that proposed boost-flyback converter. Through simulation and an experiment, it could get high boosting ratio and efficiency more than 90%.

A multi-parameter neuro muscular electrical simulator (NMES) system was developed to be used to find the optimal parameter condition in obtaining maximum muscle power and minimal fatigue. Since the performance of NMES is mainly determined by the characteristic of its output-stage circuit, we implemented 3 different circuits and compared output characteristics of them. Three amplifier circuits are; 1) a resonant switching converter, 2) a linear amplifier with a transformer, and 3) a step-up DC/DC converter with a high-voltage linear amplifier. Experimental results showed that the step up DC/DC converter with a high-voltage linear amplifier has the best performance.

본 논문에서는 고승압.대전력 응용에 적합한 소프트스위칭 인터리빙 부스트 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안하는 컨버터는 동일 듀티로 기존 부스트 컨버터보다 약 2배의 승압비를 얻을 수 있고 스위치와 다이오드의 전압정격은 약 1/2로 감소되어 $R_{DS(ON)}$과 전압 강하가 작은 소자 사용으로 도통손실을 감소시킬 수 있다. 또한 수동소자의 전압정격이 감소되어 전체 에너지량도 1/2로 감소된다. 더욱이 CCM에서도 스위치의 ZVS 턴온이 가능하고 다이오드의 ZCS 턴오프 동작으로 역방향 회복에 의한 서지가 거의 없어 스위칭 손실이 감소된다. 2kW의 시작품으로 제안하는 컨버터의 타당성을 검증하였다.

A wide-voltage-conversion range bidirectional DC-DC converter is proposed in this paper. The topology is comprised of one typical LC energy storage component and a special common grounded asymmetric H-bridge with four active power switches/anti-parallel diodes. The narrow output PWM voltage is generated from the voltage difference between two normal (wider) output PWM voltages from the asymmetric H-bridge with duty cycles close to 0.5. The equivalent switching frequency of the output PWM voltage is double the actual switching frequency, and a wide step-down/step-up ratio range is achieved. A 300W prototype has been constructed to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed bidirectional converter between the variable low voltage side (24V~48V) and the constant high voltage side (200V). The slave active power switches allow ZVS turn-on and turn-off without requiring any extra hardware. The maximum conversion efficiency is 94.7% in the step-down mode and 93.5% in the step-up mode. Therefore, the proposed bidirectional topology with a common ground is suitable for energy storage systems such as renewable power generation systems and electric vehicles with a hybrid energy source.

This paper is studied on a novel buck-boost isolated converter for high efficiency and high power factor. The switching devices in the proposed converter are operated by soft switching technique using a new quasi-resonant circuit, and are driven with discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) according to pulse width modulation (PWM). The quasi-resonant circuit makes use of a step up-down inductor and a loss-less snubber capacitor. The proposed converter with DCM also simplifies the requirement of control circuit and reduces a number of control components. The input ac current waveform in the proposed converter becomes a quasi sinusoidal waveform in proportion to the magnitude of input ac voltage under constant switching frequency. As a result, it is obtained by the proposed converter that the switching power losses are low, the efficiency of the converter is high, and the input power factor is nearly unity. The validity of analytical results is confirmed by some simulation results on computer and experimental results.

This paper proposes a new bidirectional DC-DC converter with high efficiency. The proposed converter is composed of a flyback and a tapped-inductor boost converter to satisfy extreme operating conditions with low cost. The outputs are connected in series to achieve a high-voltage step-up. In the reverse direction, the proposed converter has an extreme step-down voltage. In this study, the proposed converter was employed with a 100 W hardware prototype. To design the controller, a small-signal transfer function of the proposed converter is derived. For PV power conditioning systems, a maximum power point tracking method is applied with perturb and observe method. To verify the operation of the bidirectional power flow, the current controller is applied. All of the controllers are employed with a digital signal processor.

This paper is given a full detail of mathematical analyses of input current for novel active type power factor correction(PFC) AC-DC converter of step up-down added electric isolation. These are compared with harmonics components of input current for a conventional PFC converter of electric isolation type. The proposed PFC converter is constructed in using a new loss-less snubber circuit to achieve a soft switching of control device. Also the proposed converter for discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) eliminates the complicated circuit control requirement and reduces the size of components. The input current waveform in the proposed converter is got to be a sinusoidal form of discontinuous pulse in proportion to magnitude of ac input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching. Therefore, input power factor is nearly unity and the control method is simple. Particularly, the stored energy of loss-less snubber capacitor is recovered with input side and increases input current from resonant operation. The result is that input power factor of the proposed converter is higher than that of a conventional PFC converter. Some simulative results on computer and experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.

Many generating units can be in parallel connection to one battery and inverter. However, one of the biggest problems we encountered is that wind speed is fluctuated sharply in accordance with the unstable weather conditions. To solve this problem, we need energy storage equipment such as storage lead-acid battery. We design a system and analyze its modeling so that it supplies a stable power to the load through DC-AC inverter part. In this paper, we applied dual step-up/down buck-boost converter and dual high-frequency half-bridge converter to the proposed system. These converters are used to store energy in the battery regardless of the change of the wind speed. The operation process of two proposed types of converters for high-power battery charging is discussed along with simulation and experimental result. We design a charging circuit which is applicable in the actual wind power generation system for 30kw and confirm the circuit's validity.

절연된 부스트 변환기는 전기적인 절연과 매우 높은 승압을 필요로 하는 응용분야에 적합한 변환기이다. 낮은 입력전압을 높은 출력전압으로 승압하기 위해 필요한 변압기는 volt-sec 평형 조건을 만족하여야 한다. 기존의 절연된 부스트 변환기는 도통구간을 오버랩하여 제어하였으며 이 경우 제어회로가 복잡해지는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 변압기의 volt-sec 평형을 위해 리셋권선을 설치하고 자기구동 스위치를 이용하여 제어회로를 간단하게 구성할 수 있는 절연된 부스트 변환기를 제안하고 해석한다. 마지막으로 출력 10[W]급의 절연된 부스트 변환기를 구성하여 시뮬레이션하고 실험을 수행하여 제안한 변환기의 이론적 해석의 타당성을 입증하였다.

본 논문에서는 새로운 고효율의 절연형 스텝 업-다운 DC/DC 초퍼에 대해 해석하였다. 일반적으로 고효율의 초퍼를 만들기 위해서는 전력변환기내에 사용된 반도체 스위칭 소자의 손실이 최소화 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 부분공진 회로를 초퍼에 추가하여 고효율을 실현시킨다. 제안한 초퍼에 사용된 제어용 스위칭 소자들은 부분공진기법에 의해 소프트 스위칭으로 동작하고, 이에 따른 제어용 스위칭 소자들은 전압과 전류의 스트레스 없이 동작한다. 그 결과 제안한 초퍼는 스위칭 손실의 저감에 의해 고효율로 구동한다. 그리고 제안한 초퍼는 펄스 변압기를 이용하여 입력단과 출력단을 절연시켜, 전기적 절연이 요구되는 전력변환기들에 적용되어 고효율의 전력변환시스템을 개발할 수 있는 장점이 부여된다. 제안한 절연형 스텝 업-다운 초퍼의 소프트 스위칭 동작과 시스템 효율은 다양한 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 통해 그 타당성이 입증된다.
