본 논문에서는 PSR(Primary Side Regulator)에 적용 가능한 새로운 방식의 부하 전류 예측 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 부하 전류 예측 방식은 DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) 및 BCM(Boundary Conduction Mode) 동작만이 가능하다. 하지만 제안된 방식은 Power Balance Rule을 적용한 간단한 알고리즘을 통해 CCM(Continuous Conduction Mode) 동작에서도 정확한 부하 전류 예측이 가능하다. 따라서 높은 출력을 요구하는 어플리케이션에서 고효율 달성에 유리하고, CC(Constant Current) 제어가 우수하다. 제안 알고리즘의 우수성과 신뢰성 검증을 위하여 12W급 플라이백 컨버터의 시작품을 제작하였고, 이를 이용한 실험 결과를 바탕으로 타당성을 확인한다.

This paper deals with the analysis, design, and implementation of a single phase AC-DC Zeta converter with high frequency transformer isolation and power factor correction(PFC) in two modes of operation, discontinuous current mode of operation(DCM), and continuous current mode of operation(CCM). A Digital Signal Processor(DSP) based implementation is carried out for validation of the Zeta converter developed design in discontinuous mode of operation. A comparison of both modes of operation is presented for a 1kW power rating from the point of view of steady state and dynamic behavior, power quality, simplicity, control technique, device rating, and converter size. The experimental results of a developed prototype of Zeta converter are presented for validation of the developed design. It is observed that CCM is most suitable for higher power applications where it requires some complex control and sensing of the additional variables.

In this paper, author describe the simulation results concerning the period doubling bifurcation route to chaos of DC/DC boost converter under current mode control to show that it is common phenomena on switching regulator when parameters are improperly chosen or continuously varied beyond the ensured region by system designer. Bifurcation diagrams of periodic orbits of inductor current and capacitor voltage of DC/DC boost converter are plotted with sampled data at moment of each clock pulse causing switching on. DC/DC boost converter studied on this paper is modelled by its state space equations as per switching condition under continuous conduction mode. Current reference signal and capacitance are chosen as the bifurcation parameters and those are varied in step for iterative calculation to find bifurcation points of periodic orbits of state variables.

This paper presents a scheme to improve the line current distortion of power factor corrector (PFC) topology at the zero crossing point using a predictive control algorithm in both the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The line current in single-phase PFC topology is distorted at the zero crossing point of the input AC voltage because of the characteristic of the general proportional integral (PI) current controller. This distortion degrades the line current quality, such as the total harmonic distortion (THD) and the power factor (PF). Given the optimal duty cycle calculated by estimating the next state current in both the CCM and DCM, the proposed predictive control algorithm has a fast dynamic response and accuracy unlike the conventional PI current control method. These advantages of the proposed algorithm lower the line current distortion of PFC topology. The proposed method is verified through PSIM simulations and experimental results with 1.5 kW bridgeless PFC (BLPFC) topology.

This paper presents a family of continuous conduction mode with constant-switching pulse width modulator controllers. Unified implementation of quasi steady state approach for various DC-DC converters topoiogies is illustrated. The property and control low for quasi-state approach will be discussed in this paper. The different procedures will be discussed in details with different results for five commonly used DC-DC converters. Both trailing and leading edge pulse width modulation are used. Leading edge modulation can some times lead to simpler control circuitry as will be demonstrated in some circuits. These controllers do not require the multiplier in the voltage feed back loop, error amplifier in the current loop and rectified line voltage sensor, which are needed by traditional control methods. Controller examples and design arc analyzed.

A way how to teach a general understanding of switched mode power supplies (SMPS) is shown. A fourth order PWM DC-to-DC converter with limited duty cycle range is treated as an example and a survey over important data (maximum voltage and current ratings for the elements, rms- values for the semiconductor devices and a rough approximation of the losses) of the circuit is given. Furthermore, a converter model based on duty ratio averaging is established. Continuous mode of operation is used. The results make it possible to estimate the applicability of the given converter structure and offer sufficient material for the calculation, design, and analysis and give a better insight into switched mode energy conversion.

In a utility interactive photovoltaic generation system, a PWM inverter is used for the connection between the photovoltaic arrays and the utility. The do current becomes pulsated when the conventional inverter system operates in the continuous current mode and dc current pulsation causes the distortion of the ac current waveform. To reduce pulsation of dc input current, This paper presents a Buck-Boost PWM power inverter and its application for residential photovoltaic system. The PWM power inverter is realized by combining two sets of a high frequency Buck-Boost chopper and by making it operate in the discontinuous conduction mode. In this paper, we show the Buck-Boost PWM power inverter circuit, its equivalent circuit and basic differential equations and the power flow characteristics are clarified when the proposed Inverter is interconnected with the utility lines. In conclusion, the proposed inverter system provides a sinusoidal ac current for domestic loads and the utility line with unity power factor

This paper presents a single phase high power factor PWM boost rectifier featuring soft commutat -ion of the active switches at zero current. It incorporates the most desirable properties of conventional PWM and soft switching resonant techniques. The input current shaping is achieved with average current mode control and continuous inductor current mode. This new PWM converter provides zero current turn on and turn off of the active switches, and it is suitable for high power applications employing IGBT's. The principle of operation, the theoretical analysis, a design example, and experi -mental results from a laboratory prototype rated at 1.6[kW] with 400[Vdc] output voltage are presented. The measured efficiency and the power factor were 96.2[%] and 0.99[%], respectively, with an input current THD equal to 3.94[%], for an input voltage with THD equal to 3.8[%], at rated load.
