AS a main Power Supply of the Railroad Vehicles, a three-Level ZVZCS DC/DC Converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed three-Level DC/DC Converter achieves zero voltage and zero current switching for the main switches. Its attribute is that the voltage across the switches is half the value of the input voltage. Also. using a diode and secondary side of the transformer, and simple auxiliary circuits it achieves zero current switching of the auxiliary switches. The principle operation and simulation results are included.

This paper presents an analysis of a 4th order LCLC resonant converter with a capacitive output filter using the state-space approach. The analysis of the converter shows that there are four intervals in a half period. In each interval, the state-space equations are obtained. Due to the soft switching of the converter, an exact equation for the Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) time and the maximum dead time of the inverter switches are presented. The simulation and experimental results obtained from a 10kv, 370w prototype confirm the validity of the theoretical analysis.

In this paper, we designed high performance, high quality and high density switch mode power supply for precision electronics, and communication equipments. For this, we used two parallel DC-DC converters, which have opposite phases, to support proper high performance and high quality power. To reduce switching losses and make high switching frequency, active-clamp and ZVS technique were employed in each converter.

Recently, the unipolar gate power source is preferred in inverter system because of cost reduction reason. In this case, designer uses 0V source for turning-off the switching devices instead of negative voltage at Vee source. If the gate driver circuit has some stray inductance, the gate voltage would happen a surge voltage. This paper analyzes that of stray inductance effect during the switching behavior in the circuit and the proposed solutions were verified by pulse test.

This paper deals with a new multi-level high voltage source inverter with GTO Thyristors. Recently, a multi-level approach seems to be the best suited for implementing high voltage conversion systems because it leads to harmonic reduction and deals with safe high power conversion systems independent of the dynamic switching characteristics of each power semiconductor device. A conventional multi-level inverter has some problems; voltage unbalance between DC-link capacitors and larger blocking voltage across the inner switching devices. To solve these problems, the novel multi-level inverter structure is proposed.

This paper proposes a low power resource allocation and scheduling algorithm that minimized power consumption such as DSP circuit in high-level synthesis process. In this paper, we have used list-scheduling method for low power design in scheduling step. Also, it increase possibility to reuse input through resource sharing when assign resource. After scheduling, the resources allocation uses the power function in consideration of the result of calculating average hamming distances and switching activity between two input. First, it obtain switching activity about input value after calculate average hamming distances between two operator and find power value make use of bit pattern of the input value. Resource allocation process assign operator to minimize average hamming distance and power dissipation on all occasions which is allocated at each control step according to increase control step. As comparing the existed method, the execution time becomes fast according to number of operator and be most numberous control step. And in case of power that consume, there is decrease effect from 6% to 8% to be small.

This study applies the selective harmonic elimination (SHE) technique to design and operate a regulated AC/DC/AC power supply suitable for maritime military applications and underground trains. The input is a single 50/60 Hz AC voltage, and the output is a 400 Hz regulated voltage. The switching angles for a multi-level inverter and transformer turns ratio are determined to operate with special connected transformers with equal power ratings and produce an almost sinusoidal current. As a result of its capability of directly controlling harmonics, the SHE technique is applicable to apparatus with congenital immunity to specific harmonics, such as series-connected transformers, which are specially designed to equally share the total load power. In the present work, a single-phase 50/60 Hz input source is rectified via a semi-controlled bridge rectifier to control DC voltage levels and thereby regulate the output load voltage at a constant level. The DC-rectified voltage then supplies six single-phase quazi-square H-bridge inverters, each of which supplies the primary of a single-phase transformer. The secondaries of the six transformers are connected in series. Through off-line calculation, the switching angles of the six inverters and the turns ratios of the six transformers are designed to ensure equal power distribution for the transformers. The SHE technique is also employed to eliminate the higher-order harmonics of the output voltage. A digital implementation is carried out to determine the switching angles. Theoretical results are demonstrated, and a scaled-down experimental 600 VA prototype is built to verify the validity of the proposed system.

In this paper, results of produced PCU(Power Control Unit) prototype was showed by suggesting and maintaining optimal operation status which let the three functional modules automatically operate with its necessity by prioritizing operation process. In order to validate effectiveness of the suggested method, we produced a test PCU and examined the results. PCU consists of S3R(Sequential Switching Shunt Regulator), BCR(Battery Charge Regulator), and BDR(Battery Discharge Regulator): converting photovoltaic power into constant voltage at linked bus voltage; storing dump power in the battery which is an auxiliary energy storage device; and supplying power charged in battery to the load. To maintain its high reliability and optimal condition of these three power conversion modules, each module operates in parallel and stable bus voltage is required to be retained at all-time due to the nature of power supply for satellite.
