This paper presents a new ZVS single phase bridgeless (Power Factor Correction) PFC, using an active clamp to achieve zero-voltage-switching for all main switches and diodes. Since the presented PFC uses a bridgeless rectifier, most of the time, only two semiconductor components are in the main current path, instead of three in conventional single-switch configurations. This property significantly reduces the conduction losses,. Moreover, zero voltage switching removes switching loss of all main switches and diodes. Also, auxiliary switch turns on zero current condition. The presented converter needs just a simple non-isolated gate drive circuitry to drive all switches. The eight stages of each switching period and the design considerations and a control strategy are explained. Finally, the converter operation is verified by simulation and experimental results.

본 논문은 다중출력 전원 시스템을 위한 새로운 구조의 영전류 스위칭(ZCS, Zero Current Switching) LLC 공진형 Post-regulator를 제안한다. 기존의 LLC 공진형 컨버터는 정밀한 다중 출력을 얻기 위해 추가의 비 절연형 DC/DC 컨버터가 요구되었고, 이는 전력 변환 효율 감소 및 제조 원가 상승의 단점을 갖고 있다. 제안된 Post-regulator는 각 정류 다이오드 및 전력 스위치의 내압 및 전류 스트레스가 작고, 부피가 큰 고가의 비 절연형 DC/DC 컨버터의 추가 대신 1 개의 보조 스위치만으로 구현되므로 구조가 간단하고, 저가격화에 유리하다. 또한, 제안된 Post-regulator의 모든 전력 스위치는 영전류 스위칭이 가능하므로 EMI 특성이 우수하며 스위칭 손실을 최소화 할 수 있다. 최종적으로 본 논문에서 제안된 전원 시스템의 동작 원리 및 타당성을 검증하기 위하여, 영전류 스위칭 LLC 공진형 Post-regulator의 실험 결과를 제시한다.

This paper proposes a new non-isolated DC conversion circuit topology of the voltage source coupled inductor series resonant high-frequency PFM controlled boost chopper type DC-DC power converter using two in one IGBT power module, which can efficiently operate under a principle of zero current soft switching for wide output regulation voltage setting ranges and wide fluctuation of the input DC side voltage as well as the load variation ranges. Its steady state operating principle and the output voltage regulation characteristics in the open-loop-based output voltage control scheme without PI controller loop are described and evaluated from theoretical and experimented viewpoints. Finally, in this paper the computer-aided simulation steady-state analysis and the experimental results are presented in order to prove the effectiveness and the validity of voltage regulation characteristics of the proposed series resonant zero current soft switching boost chopper type DC-DC power converter circuit using IGBTs which is based on simple pulse frequency modulation strategy more than, 20kHz.

In this paper, an active capacitor-diode-switch (CDS) snubber is proposed for L-type current-fed isolated DC-DC converters. The proposed CDS-clamped converter has a number of advantages. It can achieve wide range zero-voltage switching (ZVS) on two switches, a continuous input current with a low ripple, a reduction of one active switch and high efficiency. The operating principles, analysis and parameter design guideline are presented. A 300 W prototype is built to test the proposed converter. Simulation and experimental results are shown at 30 V input voltage and 400 V output voltage.

We present an accurate and efficient method to calculate the gravitational potential of an isolated system in three-dimensional Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates subject to vacuum (open) boundary conditions. Our method consists of two parts: an interior solver and a boundary solver. The interior solver adopts an eigenfunction expansion method together with a tridiagonal matrix solver to solve the Poisson equation subject to the zero boundary condition. The boundary solver employs James's method to calculate the boundary potential due to the screening charges required to keep the zero boundary condition for the interior solver. A full computation of gravitational potential requires running the interior solver twice and the boundary solver once. We develop a method to compute the discrete Green's function in cylindrical coordinates, which is an integral part of the James algorithm to maintain second-order accuracy. We implement our method in the {\tt Athena++} magnetohydrodynamics code, and perform various tests to check that our solver is second-order accurate and exhibits good parallel performance.

전기 자동차의 배터리 충전용 OBC는 주로 PFC회로와 절연형 DC-DC 컨버터 회로를 포함한 2단으로 구성된다. 일반적으로 PFC 회로로는 구조가 간단한 비절연형 부스트 컨버터가 사용되고, 절연형 DC-DC 컨버터로는 ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching)가 가능한 공진형 컨버터가 이용되고 있다. 전기자동차의 주행거리 증가에 따른 넓은 배터리 출력에 대응하기 위해서는 OBC의 넓은 출력범위가 필요하지만, 이러한 시스템 회로 구성에서는 ZVS를 위한 회로설계의 한계와 제어기 구성이 복잡해지기 때문에 배터리 충전에 요구되는 넓은 범위의 출력에 효과적으로 대응하기에는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 절연형 전류원 방식의 PFC 회로와 벅 DC-DC 컨버터로 구성된 OBC를 제안하였다. 제안된 OBC는 회로 및 제어기 구성이 용이하고, 넓은 출력범위에 대한 대응이 가능하다. 제안된 회로의 유효성을 검증하기 위해 3.3㎾급 시작품을 제작 하였으며, 동작결과 출력전압 150V~400V에서 동작안정성 및 정격 부하 조건에서 최대 효율 94.4%, 최대 역률 99.2%를 확인하였다.

In this paper a bidirectional DC-DC converter is proposed for renewable energy systems, eco-friendly vehicles, energy storage systems, uninterruptible power supply(UPS) systems and battery test equipments. The two-stage bidirectional converter employing a fixed-frequency series loaded resonant converter is designed to be capable of operating under zero-current-switching turn on and turn off regardless of voltage and load variation, and hence its magnetic components and EMI filters can be optimized. And efficiencies and volumes of the two-stage bidirectional converters are compared according to configuration of isolated and non-isolated parts and a two-stage topology suitable for low voltage and high current applications is proposed. A 12kW(12V, 1000A) prototype of the proposed converter has been built and tested to verify the validity of the proposed operation.

T-type isolated DC/DC converters have recently attracted attention due to their numerous advantages, including few components, low cost, and symmetrical operation of transformers. This study proposes an improved control strategy for increasing the efficiency of T-type isolated DC/DC converters. Under the proposed strategy, the primary circulating current flows through the auxiliary switches (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors) instead of their body diodes in free-wheeling periods. Such feature can reduce conduction losses, thereby improving the efficiency of T-type isolated DC/DC converters. The operation principles and performances of T-type isolated DC/DC converters under the proposed control strategy are analyzed in detail and verified through the simulation and experimental results.

Molecular structures and functional properties of starches isolated from normal, waxy, and zero amylose barleys were examined. Amylopectins from zero amylose starch had the largest molecular weight $(M_w)$, whereas those from high amylose starch, the smallest. A good correlation between the $(M_w)$ and the radius of gyration $(R_g)$ was observed among amylopectins from various starches, indicating similar polymeric conformation in solution even with the differences in the $(M_w)$. The debranched amylopectin molecules from different types of barley starches exhibited similar profiles, implying that the packing geometry of double helices in the different types of barley starches may be similar. Zero amylose starch showed the highest peak viscosity (326 RVU) in RV A viscograms at lower pasting temperature $(67.6^{\circ}C)$, compared to normal and high amylose starches. Relationship between RVA peak viscosity and amylose content suggested that the presence of amylose inhibited the development of granular swelling of barley starches during cooking. A rapid retrogradation, traced by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and strain-controlled rheometry, occurred in the high amylose starch sample during storage, while zero amylose starch showed a very good resistance to retrogradation, indicating excellent storage stability.
