As the turns ratio of the tapped-inductor contributes to the step-up ratio, the tapped-inductor boost (TIB) converter has significantly increased level of difficulties in its analysis and design compared to the conventional boost converter where the duty ratio is the sole factor affecting the step-up ratio. In this paper, the operation of the continuous current mode TIB converter is briefly reviewed, the characteristics are analyzed in detail, and a design guideline optimizing the loss in the tapped-inductor is presented with a practical design example. Finally, experimental results from a 12V/120V prototype for 0.25A LED driver application are also presented to confirm the design.

In this paper, a soft switching boost converter with H-auxiliary resonant circuit is proposed. Using some resonant components, the circuit can be achieved the soft switching capability. Each of the switches in the proposed circuit perform ZVS at turn off and ZCS at turn on. Thus, the high efficiency characteristic can also be obtained, and then the size of the total system can be reduced. The operational principle of the soft switching boost converter in theoretically analyzed. Simulation results validate the analysis and experimental results demonstrate soft switching boost converter benefits.

A high efficiency soft switching boost converter is proposed in this paper. The conventional boost converter generates switching losses at turn on and off. Because of those, the whole system efficiency is reduced. The proposed converter utilizes soft switching method using resonant circuit with an auxiliary switch. Therefore, the proposed converter reduces switching losses lower than the hard switching. The proposed soft switching boost converter can be applied to photovoltaic system, power factor correction circuit and etc.

본 논문에서는 단상 CCM boost PFC 컨버터의 높은 입력 경부하 역률 향상을 위한 제어 기법을 제안한다. 기존 CCM boost PFC 제어기법은 인덕터 전류를 입력 전류와 동기화 하여 제어 하여 낮은 입력 또는 중 부하 이상에서 높은 역률을 얻을 수 있다. 하지만 높은 입력 전압 조건에서 경 부하 동작 시 EMI 필터에 의해 발생되는 무효 전류로 인하여 입력 전류를 위상이 앞서게 되고 역률이 큰 폭으로 저하된다. 제안하는 제어 기법은 전류 지령 보정과 더불어 개선된 시비율 전향 기법을 이용하여, 높은 입력 전압에서 경 부하 동작 시 입력 전류의 위상을 입력 전압과 동기화 시켜 높은 역률을 얻는다. 따라서 제안하는 제어기법의 경우 전 입력 및 전 부하 조건에서 단위 역률에 근접한 역률을 얻을 수 있으며, 이는 높은 신뢰성을 위해 병렬로 구성된 high-end 파워 시스템에 적합하다.

This paper presents an improved ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) DC/DC Boost Converter using Active Snubber. The Conventional ZVT PWM Boost Converter is improved to minimize the switching loss of auxiliary switch using the minimum number of the components. In this thesis, advantage and disadvantages of Conventional ZVT Converter using a auxiliary resonant circuit is discussed. Then Improved ZVT soft switching converter will be discussed. In comparison a previous ZVT converter, the proposed converter reduces turn-off switching loss of the auxiliary switch. Therefore, the proposed converter has a high efficiency by active snubber. To show the superiority of this converter is verified through the experiment with a 640W, 100kHz prototype converter.

An inverter system which consists of three bi-directional buck-boost converters, is proposed for motor driving. Three phase sinusoidal output voltages can be generated by utilizing three buck-boost converters. The advantage of this scheme is that it does not require a separate DC-DC converter for motor driving, i.e. inverter function is combined into the three DC-DC converters. This topology is suitable for inverters for hybrid or fuel cell vehicles where DC link voltage is subject to change depending upon charging status or output power. So the proposed system is capable of driving motor at high speed. The converter system is controlled by PI controller and simulation results done by MATLAB SIMULINK are provided.Ҙ?⨀ሉȀ̀㘰々K䍄乍?ጊ츀Ѐ㔹〻Ԁ䭃䑎䴀

This paper proposed a new zero-voltage switching(ZVS) Two-Inductor boost converter. The conventional Two-Inductor boost converter has defect. When the switch is turned off, the high voltage spike is occurred in the switch by leakage inductance and switch parasitic capacitor. To solve this problem, the parallel resonant capacitor is added to the conventional Two-Inductor boost converter. Using quasi-resonant between parallel resonant capacitance and leakage inductance, the switches is operated soft switching. A reduction of transformer turn ratio is achieved by the voltage doubler rectifier.

This paper proposes a real-time estimation of the boost inductance in a single-phase AC/DC parallel PWM converter for high-speed EMU. The estimation procedure of the boost inductance is only based on the variation of input current and the input AC voltage measurement. The estimated boost inductance is optimized by the least square method. This estimation technique can improve the performance of current controller and reduce the harmonics of the input current in the feed-forward controller. The validity of proposed technique is verified through the MATLAB SIMULINK simulation results.

We enforce the detection of facial characteristics to an extracted motion-change images by using AdaBoost algorithm to extract an characteristics.

This study proposes a control method using a repetitive controller for a boost-type PFC rectifier with an APD circuit structure to improve the current distortion caused by DCM condition. Conventional proportional integral controllers have bandwidth limitations in DCM conditions. The performance improvement of the APD controller in the DCM region is verified through simulations and experiments on the compensation of harmonics by the repetitive controller.
