Phase-shift fullbridge (PSFB) converter detects the current in the primary side for operation of the peak current mode controller (PCMC). The PCMC must used the slope compensation to solve the problem when the effective duty is over 0.5. The voltage response of PSFB converters has slower than that of buck converter because of slew interval even if the voltage controllers of two converters have same bandwidth. To overcome these problems, this work proposes a compensating method of current reference considering slew interval and fast response in the PSFB converter. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proven using the PSIM simulation and experiment.

PSFB 컨버터(Phase Shift Full Bridge converter)는 다양한 전원장치에 응용되고 있다. 또한 빠른 응답과 1차 측 전류 피크의 불 평형을 방지하기 위해 PCMC(Peak Current Mode Control)를 적용해야 한다. 하지만 PCMC는 유효 시비율이 0.5 이상 일 때 저주파 발진이 일어나기 때문에 경사 보상 기법을 이용해 발진을 막아야 한다. 일반적으로 경사보상 기울기는 최댓값을 사용하기 때문에 전류 명령이 과 보상되며, 무효시비율 구간을 고려하지 않기 때문에 응답속도가 지연 되는 문제가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 무효 시비율 구간을 고려한 하이브리드 피크-밸리 전류 밴드 제어를 통해 BUCK 컨버터와 동일한 응답 특성을 가지는 PSFB 컨버터 제어 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증되었다.

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET belongs to the family of wide-band gap devices with inherit property of low switching and conduction losses. The stable operation of SiC MOSFET at higher operating temperatures has invoked the interest of researchers in terms of its application to high power density (HPD) power converters. This paper presents a performance study of SiC MOSFET based two-phase interleaved boost converter (IBC) for regulation of avionics bus voltage in more electric aircraft (MEA). A 450W HPD, IBC has been developed for study, which delivers 28V output voltage when supplied by 24V battery. A gate driver design for SiC MOSFET is presented which ensures the operation of converter at 250kHz switching frequency, reduces the miller current and gate signal ringing. The peak current mode control (PCMC) has been employed for load voltage regulation. The efficiency of SiC MOSFET based IBC converter is compared against Si counterpart. Experimentally obtained efficiency results are presented to show that SiC MOSFET is the device of choice under a heavy load and high switching frequency operation.
