A KY converter integrated with a conventional synchronously rectified (SR) boost converter and a coupled inductor is presented in this paper. This improved KY converter has the following advantages: 1) the two converters use common switches; 2) the voltage gain of the KY converter can be improved due to the integration of a boost converter and a coupled inductor; 3) the leakage inductance of the coupled inductor is utilized to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS); 4) the current stress on the charge pump capacitors and the decreasing rate of the diode current can be limited due to the use of the coupled inductor; and 5) the output current is non-pulsating. Moreover, the active switches are driven by using one half-bridge gate driver. Thus, no isolated driver is needed. Finally, the operating principle and analysis of the proposed converter are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

최근 Si기반 전력반도체의 물성적 한계로 인해 스위칭 반도체의 발전 속도가 떨어지고, 더 이상의 성능향상을 기대하기 어려운 실정이지만 Si기반보다 우수한 물성을 가진 SiC 기반 전력반도체가 개발되고 있다. 하지만 실제 시스템에 적용하기 위해서는 아직 뚜렷한 방법이 제시되지 못하고 있다. SiC기반 전력반도체의 시스템 설계에 대한 타당성과 솔루션을 제안하기 위하여, 1kW급의 DC-DC컨버터를 설계 및 제작하고 스위칭 주파수, 듀티비, 전압, 전류의 변화 조건 속에서 Si기반 전력반도체와 실험을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 각 시스템 부하별 입․출력을 통한 효율을 분석 및 Si MOSFET 대비 SiC MOSFET의 우수한 스위칭 성능을 확인하였고, 이를 통해 동일한 구동 조건에서 SiC MOSFET의 우수성을 검증하였다.

A new multi-level type energy recovery sustaining driver for AC PDP(Plasma Display Panel) is proposed in this paper. The multi-level driver has been developed to reduce the voltage stress on switching elements. Comparing the proposed driver with the conventional multi-level driver, 4 switching elements, 4 diodes, and two auxiliary capacitors are eliminated in the viewpoint of circuit structure. Moreover, the voltage stress on switching elements is more reduced and the sustain period is extended. To verify the validity of the proposed energy recovery circuit, computer simulations using PSpice program are carried out.

This paper proposes a new sinusoidal rectifier which improves input factor and input current waveform without complicated switching modulation such as pulse width or a complicated feed back control. The proposed rectifier consists of a pair of capacitors connected in series, a full bridge diode rectifier, a pair of inductors, and a pair of switching devices connected in series. While the configuration of the sinusoidal rectifier is simple in itself, it effectively reduces the reactive power and harmonics involved(IEC555-2 SC77A90 Class C) in input line current. The excellent properties of the new sinusoidal rectifier are verified by theoretical analysis and experimental results.

Capacitor switching is essential for the economic operation, and proper voltage control of KOREA electric utility distribution system. Voltage transients produced by capacitor switching (around 2.0 per unit at substation and 2.5 or less per unit at customer site, and lasting less then 1ms) do not have the magnitude or duration to interfere with the operation of computers, but they do disrupt the operation of adjustable speed drivers. The result of our research, ASD manufacturers should team from the computer industry and design products that will operate satisfactory in the electrical envelopment in which they will be placed. In this case history, the inductors on the input to ADSs in order to prevent nuisance tripping from capacitor switching(and other causes within the apartment) proved to be an effective, low-cost solution.

A new high-performance and low cost single switch energy recovery display driver for an AC plasma display panel (PDP) is proposed. Since it is composed of only one auxiliary power switch, two small inductors, and eight diodes compared with the conventional circuit consisting of four auxiliary power switches, two small inductors, eight power diodes, and two external capacitors, it features a much simpler structure and lower cost. Nevertheless, since the rootmean-square (RMS) value of the inductor current is very small, it also has very desirable advantages such as n low conduction loss and high efficiency. Furthermore, there are no serious voltage-drops caused by the large gas-discharge current with the aid of the discharge current compensation, which can also greatly reduce the current flowing through power switches and maintain the panel to light at n lower sustaining voltage. In addition, all main power switches are turned on under the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and thus, the proposed circuit has a improved EMI, increased reliability, and high efficiency. Therefore, the proposed circuit will be well suited to the wall hanging PDP TV. To confirm the validity of the proposed circuit, circuit operations, features,and design considerations are presented and verified experimentally on a 6-inch PDP, 50kHz-switching frequency, and sustaining voltage 141V based prototype.

직류진원 장치의 부하에 단락이 발생하는 경우 직류전원을 부하로부터 신속히 차단하고 재인가 가능한 새로운 방식의 ac/dc 컨버터를 제안하였다. 제안한 방식의 컨버터 출력전윈은 부하단락시 차단 및 정상상태로 회복시 직류전원을 재인가하여 정격출력전압으로 확립되는데 소요되는 시간이 각각 수백 $\mu\textrm{s}$ 이내에 이루어지는 특징이 있다. 또한 컨버터 출력필터 커패시터는 부하가 단락된 상태에서도 방전하지 않고 거의 정격출력전압을 유지할 수 있으므로 직류전원을 단락상태가 소멸된 정상부하에 재인가시 전압의 오버슈트 없이 신속한 부하전압 확립이 가능하다. 제안한 방식의 컨버터는 기존 방식에 비해 구조가 간단하고 소형경량화 가능한 장점이 있다. 제안한 회로방식에 대한 동작원리 설명 및 특성해석을 하였으며 실험을 통하여 그 유용성을 입증하였다.

본 연구에서는 항공기용 전원분배장치에서 발생한 소손현상의 원인을 분석하고 개선 방안을 제안하였다. 항공기용 전원분배장치는 교류와 직류로 분류하며, 두 장비 사이에 정류기가 존재한다. 전원분배 장치의 전원이 켜지고 꺼질 때 전원 보드내의 커패시터가 소손되었다. 주요 원인은 정류기에 내장되어 있는 인덕턴스로 인해 과도한 전압이 발생했기 때문이다. 고장이 발생 할 수 있는 경우를 분류하였다. 그리고 그에 따른 영향성을 분석하였으며, 실험적인 방법을 통해서 해결책을 수립하였다.

The electrification trend of mobility increases every year due to the development of power semiconductor and battery technology. Accordingly, the development and distribution of fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs) are in demand. In this study, we propose a design and implementation method of an LLC converter for fast chargers. Two 15 kW LLC converters are configured in parallel to have 30 kW rated output power, and the control algorithm and driving sequence are designed accordingly and verified. In addition, the improved power conversion efficiency is confirmed through zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of the LLC converter and reduction of turn-off loss through snubber capacitors. The implemented 30 kW LLC converters show a wide output voltage range of 200-950 V. Experiments applying various load conditions verify the converter performance.

This paper presents an output ripple reduction of Active-Clamp Forward Converter, which is mainly composed of interleaving two active-clamping forward converters. By interleaving, Output ripple is reduced. The leakage inductance of the transformer or an additional resonant inductance is employed to achieve ZVS during the dead times. The duty cycles are not limited to be equal and within 50%. The complementary switching and the resulted interleaved output inductor currents diminish the current ripple in output capacitors. Accordingly, the smaller output chokes and capacitors lower the converter volume and increase the power density. Detailed analysis of this ouput reduction of Active-Clamp Forward Converter is described.
