Critical conduction mode (CRM) operation is more efficient than continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation at low power levels because of the valley switching of switches and elimination of the reverse recovery losses of boost diodes. When using a sensorless digital control method, an error occurs between the actual and the estimated current. Because of the error, it operates as CCM or discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) during CRM operation and also has an adverse effect on THD of input current. In this paper, a current sensorless technique is presented in an inverter system using a bridgeless boosted power factor correction converter, and a compensation method is proposed to reduce CRM calculation error. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experiment.

Critical conduction mode boost power factor correction converters operating at the boundary of continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode have been widely used for power applications lower than 300W. This paper proposes an enhanced variable on-time control method for the critical conduction mode boost PFC converter to improve the total harmonic distortion characteristic. The inductor current, which varies according to the input voltage, is analyzed in detail and the optimal on-time is obtained to minimize the total harmonic distortion with a digital controller using a TMS320F28335. The switch on-time varies according to the input voltage based on the computed optimal on-time. The performance of the proposed control method is verified by a 100W PFC converter. It is shown that the optimized on-time reduces the total harmonic distortion about 52% (from 10.48% to 5.5%) at 220V when compared to the variable on-time control method.

The output characteristics of solar cell are nonlinear, and these characteristics vary with load solar insolation. solar cell temperature. The PWM power inverter is realized by driving a inverter constructed with a high frequency buck-boost chopper in the discontinuous conduction mode(DCM).

This paper presents a improved control technique to overcome disadvantage when the inductor current of boost converter in PV system becomes DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) due to the low insolation. MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) output reference voltage could not be exactly followed by conventional dual-loop PI control method used typically because of the error between the actual current and measured current. Therefore, in this paper, Hybrid controller that changes the control method in DCM and CCM(Continuous Conduction Mode), and single state feedback controller are used to compensate that problem. The proposed control technique was verified by simulation using PSIM 9.0 and experiments.

DC-DC 위상천이 풀브릿지 컨버터는 경부하 운용시에 영전압 스위칭이 발생하지 않아 큰 스위칭손실이 발생한다. 경부하에서 위상천이 풀브릿지 컨버터의 낮은 효율을 개선하기 위해 DCM (Discontinuous Conduction Mode) 동작을 이용한다. 본 논문은 경부하에서 위상천이 컨버터의 DCM과 CCM (Continuous Conduction Mode) 동작의 특성 및 도통 손실 절감을 위한 동기 정류기의 제어 방법을 이론적으로 분석하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

In this paper, authors propose a new buck-boost converter of discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) added electric isolation. The proposed converter with DCM eliminates the complicated circuit control requirement and reduces the size of components. The general converters of high efficiency are made that the power loss of the used switching devices is minimized. To achieve the soft switching operation of the used control switches, the proposed converter uses a lossless snubber capacitor. The proposed converter achieves the soft-switching for all switching devices without increasing their voltage and current stresses. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of converter is high. The soft switching operation of the proposed converter is verified by digital simulation and experimental results.

The human body and nervous system transmit information through electric charges. After the electric charge transmits information to the brain, we can feel pain, numbness, comfort, and other feelings. Electric therapy is currently used widely in clinical practice because the field of examination is more representative of electrocardiogram, and in the field of treatment is more representative of electrotherapy. In this study, we design a system for neurophysiological therapy and conduct parameter calculation and model selection for the components of the system. The system is based on a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) boost circuit, and controlled and regulated by a single-chip microcomputer. The system does not only have a low cost but also fully considers the safety of use, convenience of the human-computer interface, adjustment sensitivity, and waveform diversity in the design. In future, it will have strong implications in the field of electrotherapy.

Advances in FPGA technology have enabled fast real-time simulation of power converters, filters and loads. FPGA based HIL (Hardware-In-the-Loop) simulators have revolutionized control hardware and software development for power electronics. Common time step sizes in the order of 100ns are sufficient for simulating switching frequency current and voltage ripples. In order to keep the time step as small as possible, ideal switching function models are often used to simulate the phase legs. This often produces inferior results when simulating the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and disabled operational states. Therefore, the corresponding measurement and protection units cannot be tested properly. This paper describes a new solution for this problem utilizing a discrete-time PI controller. The PI controller simulates the proper DC and low frequency AC components of the phase leg voltage during disabled operation. It also retains the advantage of fast real-time execution of switch-based models when an accurate simulation of high frequency junction capacitor oscillations is not necessary.

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.
