This paper proposes a new phase-shift full-bridge DC-DC converter by applying energy recovery circuits to a conventional full-bridge DC-DC converter in plasma display panel applications. The converter can achieve soft-switching in main-switches by an extra auxiliary resonant network even with the wide operating condition of both output load and input voltage. The un-coupled design guidelines to the main bridge-leg component parameters for soft-switching operation contribute to conduction loss reduction in the transformer primary side leading to efficiency improvement. The auxiliary switches in the resonant network also operate in zero-current switching. This paper analyzes the operation modes of the proposed scheme and presents the key design guidelines through steady state analysis. Also, the paper verifies the validity of the circuits by hardware experiments with a 1kW DC/DC converter prototype.

The method for the current equalization of the rectifier diodes in LLC resonant converter is proposed. The method decreases the current difference between the rectifier diodes using the auxiliary winding of the transformer and asymmetrical pulse width modulation (APWM). The analytical reason of the current unbalance is investigated and the operation principle of the proposed method and APWM control loop are explained. The performance of the proposed method was verified on a 480-W, 400-V/24-V dc/dc converter.

This study introduces a novel Soft Switching (SS) Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC-DC boost converter. In the proposed converter, the main switch is turned on with Zero Voltage Transition (ZVT) and turned off with Zero Current Transition (ZCT). The main diode is turned on with Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) and turned off with Zero Current Switching (ZCS). The auxiliary switch is turned on and off with ZCS. All auxiliary semiconductor devices are turned on and off with SS. There is no extra current or voltage stress on the main semiconductor devices. The majority of switching energies are transferred to the output by auxiliary transformer. Thus, the current stress of auxiliary switch is significantly reduced. Besides, the proposed converter has simple structure and ease of control due to common ground. The theoretical analysis of the proposed converter is verified by a prototype with 100 kHz switching frequency and 500 W output power. Furthermore, the efficiency of the proposed converter is 98.9% at nominal output power.

Normally, various auxiliary loads are installed along with the main load in industrial applications. Usually, load transformers are used to convey such types of auxiliary loads. The transformers become energized when the loads are turned-on, consequently, high amplitude of inrush current appears at the output of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system. To mitigate these high current amplitudes, this manuscript suggests a three-phase line-interactive UPS system to counter the inrush current during the turning-on of the auxiliary load transformer while powering the main load by using a current controlled inverter. Experimental results of a laboratory-sized prototype are provided in the support of the proposed UPS system for validation.

In this paper, a novel type of auxiliary switched capacitor assisted edge resonant soft switching PWM resonant DC-DC converter with two simple auxiliary commutation lossless inductor snubbers is presented. The operation principle of this converter is described using the switching mode equivalent circuits. This newly developed multi resonant DC-DC converter can regulate its DC output AC power under a principle of constant frequency edge-resonant soft switching commutation by an asymmetrical PWM duty cycle control scheme. The high frequency power regulation and actual power characteristics of the proposed soft switching PWM resonant DC-DC converter are evaluated and discussed. The operating performances of the newly proposed soft switching inverter are represented based on simulation results from an applications point of view.

The conventional Phase-Shift Full-Bridge (PSFB) converter has a serious voltage spike because of the ringing between the leakage inductance of the transformer and the parasitic output capacitance of the secondary side rectifier switches. To overcome this problem, an asynchronous active clamp technique employing an auxiliary DC/DC converter has been proposed. However, an exact analyses for designing the auxiliary DC/DC converter has not been presented. Therefore, the amount of power that is supposed to be handled in the auxiliary DC/DC converter is calculated through a precise mode analyses in this paper. In addition, this paper proposes a lossy snubber circuit with hysteresis characteristics to reduce the burden that the auxiliary DC/DC converter should take during the starting interval. This technique results in optimizing the size of the magnetic component of the auxiliary DC/DC converter. The operational principles and the theoretical analyses are validated through experiments with a 48V-to-30V/15A prototype.

An effective method for reducing the harmonics in double connected modified current source inverter[MCSI] by switching taps on auto transformer is presented in this paper. The proposed system operates as like a 24 step MCSI by adding only tap changing auxiliary circuit which consists of several taps and static switching elements to the 12 step multiple inverter, which is double connected three-phase six-step MCSI with an auto transformer. The basic theories of the proposed inverter systems for analyzing the output waveforms are described. And to optimize the effectiveness of the harmonic reduction, the optimum turn ratio and the tap changing control angle of auto transformer are decided by digital simulation and its validity is verified by experiment. Although the construction of the proposed inverter is very simple, it is clarified that the output waveform of the inverter is almost the same as that of the conventional 24 step multiple inverter under the optimum condition.

최근 추천 시스템 연구에서는 사용자와 아이템 간 상호 작용을 보다 잘 표현하고자 다양한 딥 러닝 모델을 적용하고 있다. ONCF(Outer product-based Neural Collaborative Filtering)는 사용자와 아이템의 행렬을 외적하고 합성곱 신경망을 거치는 구조로 2차원 상호작용 맵을 제작해 사용자와 아이템 간의 상호 작용을 더욱 잘 포착하고자 한 대표적인 딥러닝 기반 추천시스템이다. 하지만 합성곱 신경망을 이용하는 ONCF는 학습 데이터에 나타나지 않은 분포를 갖는 데이터의 경우 예측성능이 떨어지는 귀납적 편향을 가지는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 NCF구조에 Transformer에 기반한 ViT(Vision Transformer)를 도입한 방법론을 제안한다. ViT는 NLP분야에서 주로 사용되던 트랜스포머를 이미지 분류에 적용하여 좋은 성과를 거둔 방법으로 귀납적 편향이 합성곱 신경망보다 약해 처음 보는 분포에도 robust한 특징이 있다. 다음으로, ONCF는 사용자와 아이템에 대한 단일 잠재 벡터를 사용하였지만 본 연구에서는 모델이 더욱 다채로운 표현을 학습하고 앙상블 효과도 얻기 위해 잠재 벡터를 여러 개 사용하여 채널을 구성한다. 마지막으로 ONCF와 달리 부가 정보(side information)를 추천에 반영할 수 있는 아키텍처를 제시한다. 단순한 입력 결합 방식을 활용하여 신경망에 부가 정보를 반영하는 기존 연구와 달리 본 연구에서는 독립적인 보조 분류기(auxiliary classifier)를 도입하여 추천 시스템에 부가정보를 보다 효율적으로 반영할 수 있도록 하였다. 결론적으로 본 논문에서는 ViT 의 적용, 임베딩 벡터의 채널화, 부가정보 분류기의 도입을 적용한 새로운 딥러닝 모델을 제안하였으며 실험 결과 ONCF보다 높은 성능을 보였다.
