In this paper, we proposed the alternated forward zero voltage switching multi-resonant Converter (AT Forward ZVS MRC). The AT forward ZVS MRC has similar characteristics with clamp mode forward ZVS MRC. So it can reduce the voltage stress to tow or three times a input density [W/inch2]. The proposed converter type is verified through the experimental converter with 48V input voltage, 5V/50W output voltage/power. The measured maximum voltage stress is 170V of 2.9 times the input voltage and the maximum efficiency of 81.66% is measured.

A novel two-switch active clamp forward converter suitable for high input voltage applications is proposed. The main advantage of the proposed converter, compared to the conventional active forward converters, is that circuit complexity is reduced and the voltage stress of the main switches is effectively clamped to either the input voltage or the clamping capacitor voltage by two clamping diodes without limiting the maximum duty ratio. Also, the clamping circuit does not include additional active switches, so a low cost can be achieved without degrading the efficiency. Therefore, the proposed converter can feature high efficiency and low cost for high input voltage applications. The operational principles, features, and design considerations of the proposed converter are presented in this paper. The validity of this study is confirmed by the experimental results from a prototype with 200W, 375V input, and 12V output.

Power factor improved for single-phase buck-converter is studied in the paper. To sinusoidal waveform the input current with a near-unity power factor over a wide variety of operating conditions, the output capacitor is operated with voltage reversibility for the supply by arranging the auxiliary diode and power switching device. Then the output voltage is superposed on the input voltage during on time duration of power switching devices in order to minimize the input current distortion caused by the small input voltage when changing the polarity. The tested setup, using two insulated gate bipolar transistors(IGBT) and a microcomputer, is implemented and IGBT are switched with 20[kHz], which is out of the audible band. Moreover, a rigorous state-space analysis is introduced to predict the operation of the rectifier. The simulated results confirm that the input current can be sinusoidal waveform with a near-unity power factor and a satisfactory output voltage regulation can be achieved.

A new capacitor-input type voltage source rectifier is proposed in this paper. The proposed rectifier is based upon 6-pulse diode rectifier with the addition of an auxiliary circuit. By proper operation of the switches of the auxiliary circuit, the input voltage waveform has 18-pulse characteristics and the input current becomes almost sinusoidal due to input ac reactors. The operating principle along with current analysis and input voltage waveform synthesis is described. The experimental results from a laboratory prototype verify the proposed concept.

The output power of most facilities for renewable energy generation is unstable due to external environmental conditions. In distributed power systems with two or more sources, a stable output can be achieved with the complementary power supply among the different input sources. In this paper, a double-input DC-DC converter with a wide-input-voltage-range is proposed for renewable energy generation. This converter has the following advantages: the circuit is simple, and the input voltage range is wide and the fault tolerance is excellent. The operation modes and the steady-state analysis are examined. Finally, experimental results are illustrated to verify the correctness of the analysis and the feasibility of the proposed converter.

This paper proposes a novel zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) Push-pull DC-DC Converter for high input voltage and high power applications. This topology utilizes two switches in series to replace one switch in conventional push-pull converter, and two clamping diodes are introduced. The voltage stress of the switches is the input voltage, and the switches can realize ZVS with the use of the leakage inductance of the transformer. Furthermore, secondary full-wave rectifier with a clamping capacitor is used to eliminate the voltage oscillation and spike of the rectifier diodes due to the reverse recovery. Therefore, the electromagnetic interference is reduced effectively. The operation principle of the proposed converter is analyzed theoretically. The output characteristic, ZVS condition and design principle of the clamping capacitor are discussed. Experimental results obtained from a 270V input 2kW prototype with $95.8\%$ high efficiency confirms the design.

전원입력단에 사용되는 회로는 입력전원만을 사용할 수가 있다. 일반적인 전자회로는 입력전원을 이용하는 전압변환기에 의해 생성되는 2차전원을 이용하게 된다. 하지만 전원입력단의 저전압 및 과전압에 의한 고장에 대비하기 위한 보호회로는 2차 전원을 사용할 수가 없기 때문에, 입력전원만을 이용해서 구현이 되어야 한다. MOS FET의 문턱전압 특성을 이용한 저전압/과정압 검출회로는 50V 입력전압만을 이용해서, 정상적인 전압범위를 벗어나는 저전압/과전압 현상을 정상적으로 검출할 수가 있고, 기존의 Zener diode만으로 보호만 가능했던 것을 검출이 가능하게 되었고, 이상전압검출회로의 동작의 정확도를 결정하는 기준전압은 환경조건 등에 의해서 발생할 수 있는 모든 변수를 고려하면 최악조건 해석상으로 8.4%에서 2.5%로 향상되었다.

While the matrix converter has many advantages that include bi-directional power flow, a size reduction, a long lifetime, and sinusoidal input currents, it is vulnerable to the input voltage disturbances, because it directly exchanges the input voltage to the output voltage. So, in this paper, a critical evaluation of the effect of various abnormal voltage conditions like unbalanced power supply, balanced non-sinusoidal power supply, input voltage sags and short time blackout of power supply on matrix converter fed induction motor drives is presented. The operation under various abnormal conditions has been analyzed. For this, a 230V, 250VA three phase to three phase matrix converter (MC) fed induction motor drive prototype is implemented using DSP based controller and tests have been carried out to evaluate and improve the stability of system under typical abnormal conditions. Digital storage oscilloscope & power quality analyzer are used for experimental observations.

A resonant type voltage source and power device and a control method using Pulse Density Modulation(PDM) power control and Pulse Width Modulation(PWM)voltage control for plasma sterilization are described. For the stability of discharge in the generating tube, it is desirable that the peak apply voltage is constant. The PDM power control is employed for sustaining the voltage constant at any generating tube input power. Moreover, to avoid the influence of input AC voltage fluctuation etc., PWM voltage control with generating tube peak voltage feedback is used. Both functions were confirmed by the experiment with inverter and generating tube. The effect of input synchronous PDM method for input current stabilizing is confirmed also.
