In designing a LLC resonant converter, the ratio of magnetizing inductance ($L_M$) to resonant inductance ($L_R$), the inductor ratio (K) is usually considered. In high power density adapter, both adapter size and efficiency are important factors. Considering the size of adapter, high K design can be more attractive. But, wide frequency variation of high K design results in design difficulty of magnetic elements and decrease in efficiency. To solve these drawbacks, an adaptive link voltage variation (ALVV) control is proposed. With the proposed control method, the LLC resonant converter can be operated at the resonant frequency despite the output voltage variation. The control strategy and schematics are presented, and verified experimentally.

Among the alternative energy sources, the solar energy is recognized as an important energy source and its application is increasing. Especially in future, the hybrid solar energy generation system with battery will be widely used as an independent distributed power generation system. In this paper, a solar power hybrid home generation system using a contactless power supply (CPS) that can transfer an electric power without any mechanical contact by using magnetic coupling instead of the power transfer by directly supplying the DC power to the home electric system is proposed. The proposed system consists of a ZVS boost converter, a half bridge LLC resonant converter and contact-less transformer.

Traditional boost converters have difficulty realizing high efficiency and high voltage gain conversion due to 1) extremely large duty cycles, 2) high voltage and current stresses on devices, and 3) low conversion efficiency. Therefore, a function decoupling high voltage gain DC/DC converter composed of a DC transformer (DCX) and an auxiliary converter is proposed. The role of DCX is to realize fixed gain conversion with high efficiency, whereas the role of the auxiliary converter is to regulate the output voltage. In this study, different forms of combined high voltage gain converters are compared and analyzed, and a structure is selected for the function decoupling high voltage gain converter. Then, topologies and control strategies for the DCX and auxiliary converter are discussed. On the basis of the discussion, an optimal design method for circuit parameters is proposed, and design procedures for the DCX are described in detail. Finally, a 400 W experimental prototype based on the proposed optimal design method is built to verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis. The measured maximum conversion efficiency at rated power is 95.56%.

This paper proposes a three-phase single-stage AC-DC converter for the small wind generation system. Input power factor improvement and insulated output can be implemented with the proposed three-phase single-stage AC-DC converter under the wide power generation voltage (80-260 V_ac) and frequency (10-42 Hz) in a small wind power generation (WPG) system. The proposed converter is also capable of zero-voltage switching in the primary-side switches and zero-current switching in the secondary-side diodes by phase-shift control at a fixed switching frequency. In addition, it is possible to control a wide output voltage (V_o: 39 V_DC-60 V_DC) by varying the link voltage and improving the input power factor (PF) and the total harmonic distortion factor (THD_i). Simulation and experimental results verified the validity of the proposed converter.

다양한 기능을 동시에 구현하는 최근의 전자제품을 위한 전력 시스템은 다양한 종류의 전원을 구비해야 하며, 고효율 저가격 특성이 필수적이다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 단일 변압기를 이용한 중 용량급의 고효율 저가격형 다중출력 LLC 공진형 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 단일 변압기를 이용하고, 요구되는 출력 당 추가된 1 개의 보조 스위치만으로 구현되므로 저가격화에 유리하다. 또한 제안된 회로의 모든 전력 스위치들은 ZVS 및 ZCS가 가능하므로 스위칭 손실을 최소화 할 수 있다. 최종적으로 제안된 컨버터 및 전원시스템의 우수성과 이론적 분석의 타당성 검증을 위해 42" FHD급 PDP용 전원회로를 위한 시작품을 제작하여 고찰된 실험결과를 제시한다.

This paper presents a LLC resonant controller IC for secondary side control without external active devices to achieve low profile and low cost LED back light units. A gate driving transformer is adopted to isolate the primary side and the secondary side instead of an opto-coupler. A new integrated dimming circuitry is proposed to improve the dynamic current control characteristic and the current density of a LED for the brightness modulation of a large screen LCD. A dual-slope clock generator is proposed to overcome the frequency error due to the under shoot in conventional approaches. This chip is fabricated using 0.35 ${\mu}m$ BCD technology and the die size is $2{\times}2\;mm^2$. The frequency range of the clock generator is from 50 kHz to 500 kHz and the range of the dead time is from 50 ns to 2.2 ${\mu}s$. The efficiency of the LED driving circuit is 97 % and the current consumption is 40 mA for a 100 kHz operation frequency from a 15 V supply voltage.

무정전전원장치(UPS: Uninterruptible Power Supply)는 정전 등의 사고가 발생할 때 양질의 전원을 부하에 공급하는 장치이다. 무정전전원장치의 구성은 크게 역률개선회로, 인버터, battery charger, battery discharger부로 크게 4개로 나눌 수 있다. 그 중 정전 등의 사고발생 시 battery에 충전되었던 에너지를 인버터 부로 공급하여야하며 이를 담당하는 부분이 battery discharger부이다. battery의 전압은 비교적 낮은 전압이며 인버터의 입력에 필요한 전압은 비교적 큰 전압이기 때문에 승압형 컨버터가 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 UPS battery discharger용 3KW급 LLC 공진형 컨버터를 설계하고 실험 검증하였다.
