엘리베이터의 경우 정전 시 승객을 안전하게 구출하기 위한 장치가 필요하다. 이를 위하여 Auto Rescue Device(ARD) 혹은 Uninterruptible Power Supply(UPS)가 엘리베이터에 설치된다. ARD는 정전 시 배터리의 전압을 승압하여 인버터의 DC 링크 전압을 유지한다. 만약 배터리의 전압보다 DC 링크 전압이 2배 이상 클 경우 일반적인 부스트 컨버터는 효율 등의 문제로 사용이 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 ARD의 특성을 고려한 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 설계 방안에 대하여 서술하였다. 또한 이를 모의실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

This paper presents a parameter tuning method of a LLC resonant converter for a wireless charging circuit. A switched-capacitor is used to change the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit. The simulation results verify that the efficiency of the power transfer can be improved by a duty control of the switched-capacitor for various values of the coupling coefficient.

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 contact-less 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.

New adaptive SR (synchronous rectification) control method is proposed offering high efficiency in entire load conditions for resonant converters, in this paper. Unlike the conventional SR control method where turn-on time of the MOSFETs is varied depending on load conditions due to the stray inductance induced by a lead frame of MOSFET or PCB patterns, the proposed method automatically maintains a time interval between turn-off instance of a MOSFET and zero current instance of a body diode of the MOSFET as a predetermined time, in each switching cycle. Therefore, optimized turn-on time of the MOSFET can be achieved regardless of the leakage inductance. In this paper, the operational principle of proposed control method has been discussed. It has been tested on LLC resonant converter with 240 W to verify the proposed control method.

This paper proposes a high-efficiency 3-kW hybrid ESS with emergency power supply. The proposed system enables efficient use of power from photovoltaic (PV) cells and energy storage system (ESS). The proposed system can operate as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) when grid fault occurs, providing seamless transfer from grid-connected mode to stand-alone mode. The LLC converter for PV achieves ZVS turn-on of switches and ZCS turn-off of diodes, and the isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter for ESS achieves ZCS turn-off regardless of load condition, resulting in high efficiency. The efficiency and performance of the proposed hybrid ESS has been verified by a 3-kW prototype.

Various laser systems have been widely used in almost all industrial technologies because they have high energy density, directivity and coherence. Recently the clinical application is becoming wider in medical parts such as incurable disease, diagnosis and so on. Generally, ruby laser beam has the greatest efficacy for removing tattoos, freckle and other skin problem. But current medical ruby laser system has the maximum repetition rate of 2Hz and optical output beam energy of 1J. Many medical doctors really want to have a high repetition ruby laser system because that can reduce the operation time. We investigated a new ruby laser system with high repetition rate of 4Hz using double cavities. Furthermore, we develop a new power supply system adopting zero voltage switching(ZVS) to minimize switching loss by LLC resonant converter designed as 2kW class.

In this paper, pulse current type power supply for laser diode dirver is discussed. High speed high power laser has been using widely because it becomes using on medical or manufacturing equipment, but researches have not being occurred actively. Current profiling method is proposed for improved lifetime expectancy of laser diode(LD). The current waveform of driving LD is most important factor of the performance and lifetime of LD. The proposed method improves shape and stability of current waveforms, thus will effect right direction of lifetime expectation.

기존의 위상천이 풀 브리지 DC/DC 컨버터의 경우 변압기의 누설 인덕턴스와 2차 측 정류 다이오드의 기생 출력 커패시턴스 사이의 공진으로 인하여 정류 다이오드 양단에 큰 공진 전압이 발생하며, 이는 소자의 신뢰성 저하 및 시스템의 전력 변환 효율을 감소시킨다. 반면 LLC 공진형 컨버터는 2차 측에서 발생되는 공진 에너지가 출력 커패시터로 흡수되지만 경 부하시에 높은 스위칭 주파수로 인하여 효율이 저감되며, 출력 전압을 제어하기 위해 추가적인 부하저항이 요구된다. 따라서 최근에는 LLC 공진형 컨버터로 동작시키면서도 PWM 제어를 통해 출력전압을 제어하는 방법이 연구되고 있으나, 새로운 게이트 구동 방식을 위해 DSP 제어를 사용하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 산업에서 많이 사용되고 있는 아날로그 IC를 통해 동일한 동작 및 성능을 구현시킬 수 있는 방법에 대하여 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 방식의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 이론적으로 분석하며, 6.6kW급 시작품을 제작하여 제안방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.
