This paper proposes a soft-switching current source inverter for a photovoltaic power system. The proposed inverter has an H-type switched-capacitor module composed of two semiconductor switches, two diodes, and an LC resonant circuit. The operation of the proposed system was analyzed by a theoretical approach with equivalent circuits and was verified by computer simulations with SPICE and experimental implementation with a hardware prototype. The proposed system could be effectively applied for the power converter of photovoltaic power system interconnected with the AC power system.

In this paper, the authors propose a DC-DC boost converter of high efficiency by partial resonant switching mode, the switching devices in a proposed circuit are operated with soft switching and the control technique of those is simplified for switch to drive in constant duty cycle. The circuit has a merit which is taken to increase of efficiency, as it makes to a regeneration at input source of accumulated energy in snubber condenser without loss of snubber inconventional circuit. The proposed converter is deemed the most suitable for high power applications where the power switching devices are used.

In order to increase the power conversion efficiency and improve the power factor, a modified forward converter is proposed, which adopts a capacitive output filter instead of the inductive output filter of the conventional forward converter. Therefore, the proposed converter has wide input voltage range in opposite to that of the conventional forward converters. Moreover, the proposed converter uses the critical conduction mode for automatic current shaping to improve the power factor. As a result, the proposed converter can achieve quasi-resonant zero-voltage-switching, which can minimize the switching loss of main MOSFET. In addition, the operational principle of the proposed converter is analyzed and the characteristic of the proposed converter is investigated in this paper. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed converter, a prototype of 13W is implemented and the experimental results are discussed in more detail.

Rectifiers of power conversion system are widely used condenser at input to be cheap and to be simple construction. But this method is produced harmonics of pulse at peak value of input AC voltage. The main circuit which make input current of a sinusoidal wave and improve power-factor is almost taken step-up converter. This paper is able to obtain high power-factor and efficiency because the input current is made sinusoidal wave in single phase alternating current(AC) source. Also the proposed converter is able to minimize switching loss by ZVCS(zero voltage switching and zero current switching).

본 논문은 고효율의 조명용 LED 구동회로를 위해 LLC 공진형 컨버터를 이용한 2단 구성의 LED 구동회로를 제안한다. 기존의 3단 구성의 LED 구동회로는 LED의 휘도 및 제어를 위해 별도의 비절연형 DC/DC 컨버터를 사용하여 낮은 효율의 문제점을 지니고 있었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안된 회로는 비절연형 DC/DC 컨버터 단 없이 PFC단과 LLC단으로 총 2개의 단으로 구성하였다. LLC단에서 절연과 LED의 제어 및 휘도 조절 기능이 가능하여 90% 이상의 고효율 동작을 보장한다. 본 논문에서는 제안회로의 동작원리를 설명하고, 모의실험 및 45W급 LED 구동회로를 제작하여 하드웨어실험을 통해 제안회로의 유용성을 검증하였다.

Recently, demands for the development of compact, lightweight power supplies with higher power density and higher efficiency have been increased. Since Piezoelectric Transformer (PT) was emerged in device and material industry, it has been suggested as a viable alternative to the magnetic transformer in some applications. PT has some advantages such as low profile and mechanical energy transfer with little electromagnetic interface (EMI). Also, PT can provide high voltage stepping ratio with good isolation and requires no copper windings saving copper usage especially for large voltage conversion differences. Conventional control of PT converter has mainly two-way. One is the pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control method and the other is the pulse width modulation (PWM) control with frequency fixed method. It is known that the maximum PT efficiency can be obtained when it operates near the resonant frequency of the PT. And, also PT's resonant frequency moves according to the load condition. Therefore, selection of PT converter control method is very difficult. This paper analyzes general piezo-electric converter modeling and proposes a guide-line to selection of control method and stabilization control.

This paper presents an analysis and a novel strategy for a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind energy conversion system under unbalanced grid voltage and non-linear load conditions. A proportional-resonant (PR) current controller is applied in both grid side converter (GSC) and rotor side converter (RSC). The RSC is controlled to mitigate the stator active power and the rotor current oscillations at double supply frequency under unbalanced grid voltage while the GSC is controlled to mitigate ripples in the dc-link voltage and compensate harmonic components of the network current. Simulation results using Psim simulation program are presented for a 2 MW DFIG to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

An interleaved operation of isolated boost converter system has become a very attractive solution in order to convert from low input voltage (30 ~ 50V) of distributed power sources such as photovoltaic and fuel cells to high output voltage (380V/760V) required in grid-connected power conversion applications. In this paper, we have proposed zero voltage transition(ZVT) interleaved boost converter using a single resonant inductor.
