This paper presents new soft-switched half-bridge dc-to-dc converters intended for applications where the input voltage varies widely. The proposed converters are presented in both non-isolated form and isolated form. The proposed dc-to-dc converters operate with zero voltage switching characteristics for MOSFET switches. The duty ratio of the proposed converter could expand to 100 % and its voltage gain is twice the voltage gain of conventional half-bridge converters. Accordingly, the proposed converters are well suited for applications requiring high conversion efficiency at the presence of wide input voltage variations. The operation and performance of the proposed converters are demonstrated with experimental converters that deliver a 12V/5A output from a 35–60 V input. The non-isolated converter recorded the maximum efficiency of 91 % at 1.5 A load current.

A high efficiency photovoltaic (PV) module integrated converter (MIC) system is proposed. The proposed system consists of a high step-up dc-dc converter and a single-phase full-bridge inverter. The proposed step-up dc-dc converter has a high efficiency and low-profile. An input ripple current reduction control is suggested to reduce the low frequency ripple current generated by the full-bridge inverter. Overall power efficiency of 95 % was obtained at 260 W output power for 36 V PV voltage with ripple current within 3 % of the rated input current.

Constant-power (CP) loads alter the conventional dynamic analysis of dc-dc converters. This paper examines boundary control strategies for dc-dc buck converters subject to constant-power loads. Boundary control addresses global system behavior and avoids the limitations of linearization. Converter dynamics is analyzed in both switching states and the various operating regions of switch interaction with a first-order switching surface (boundary) are identified. Sufficient conditions for large-signal stability of the closed loop system are established. It is also shown that in this application, instability as well as system-stalling, which we term the invariant-set problem, may still occur in reflective mode. Design considerations are included and recommendations are given. The theoretical analysis is verified by simulations and experimental results.

This paper proposes a novel DC-DC converter for hybrid power supplies using both fuel cell and battery. The output voltage is controlled by a series converter that regulates only the differential voltage between the fuel cell voltage and the output voltage. Although the load condition is changed, the variation of the fuel cell current is suppressed by a battery through operation of the parallel converter. The experimental results confirmed that the proposed circuit could achieve maximum efficiency point of 98.8% in the small differential voltage region. In addition, the loss analysis clarified the relations among the ripple current of the inductors, the inductor voltage and the inductors losses. As a result, it is confirmed that the proposed circuit achieves the minimum loss of the copper loss and the iron loss in the inductors when the differential voltage is small.

nowadays, manufacturers of power management integrated circuits (PMICs) are producing devices that integrate many of the functional blocks required in power supplies in single tiny chips. This paper highlights the circuit design considerations as a part of highly integrated, high switching frequency (few MHz range) PMICs optimized to be fabricated using CMOS fabrication technologies. Moreover, the effect of parasitic elements associated with integration of the driver and the power MOSFET gate parasitic elements on the performance of an integrated buck converter and its effect on the switching time and loss in power MOSFETs have been investigated. Finally, a driver has been tested using spice simulations to validate the theory and then experimental results have been presented.

As the problem of final joining quality and environmental pollutants such as lead and toxic gases, the ultrasonic welding system is used increasingly in the industrial workspace. The ultrasonic welder is composed of the inverter, L-C filter for the mechanical oscillation to piezoelectric, booster and horn for amplification of mechanical displacement. Also the resonant frequency is changing by design of mechanical structure and characteristic of bonding material, therefore the PLL technique is required for controlling resonant frequency by digital controller. In this paper, inverter used 10kW full bridge and LC filter are simulated using PSIM software. Also, the hardware of ultrasonic welder and software for controlling resonant frequency are verified through the experiments.

There are many increasing demands for efficient high power density of auxiliary power unit(APU) for high speed traction application. Many techniques have been proposed to measure the voltage flicker on the traditional pulse width modulation(PWM) inverter. This paper proposes a novel functionality of the static inverter on the APU to mitigate the voltage flicker and regulate the output voltage. A new control algorithm for the inverter based on the Hilbert transform(HT) is presented. The HT is employed as an effective technique for tracking the voltage flicker levels in APU systems. Simulation results are provided to verify the tracking capabilities of the HT and to evaluate the performance of the proposed DG interface for multi-function operation.
