Control characteristics improvement of full-bridge DC-DC converter with snubber capacitor

A high-voltage full bridge dc-dc converter has a big problem of high-voltage surge occurrence across secondary-side rectifying diodes. In order to solve this problem, a simple solution with a snubber capacitor has been proposed. This technique provides a prominent effect of surge-voltage suppression. On the other hand, it deteriorates the control characteristics of this converter. In this paper, the control characteristics are analyzed by the state-space averaging method. Based on this analytical result, the improvement of the control characteristics is proposed. Some experiments confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technique.7th International Power Electronics Conference, IPEC-Hiroshima - ECCE Asia 2014; Hiroshima; Japan; 18 May 2014 through 21 May 201

A fast transient response technique for DPWM DC-DC converters

The demand for adaptive and smart power distributing is becoming very popular in the commercial power line such as a smart grid. The information from the load condition is very important for the distributing. To obtain such information from the multiple-load, the digital control for switching mode power supply (SMPS) is effective. Usually, the digital controller is consisted of DSPs or microprocessors performing with software. But, such as for point of load (POL), adapting digital controller isn\u27t still popular because of its cost or response characteristics even if the controllers are constructed by FPGA or custom LSI which is hardware-logic base.

Switching surge reduction of a bi-directional dual active bridge DC-DC converter with a digital operation

Recently, the bi-directional dc-dc converter has been focused on because of the huge demand for diversification of power supply network including battery. The dual active bridge (DAB) dc-dc converter is one of the most popular circuits for bi-directional applications because of its simple structure. However, power efficiency at light load is the intrinsic problem of a bi-directional DAB DC-DC converter. In this paper, the simple solution with digital operation for the problem is proposed and experiments are performed with 1kW system. This method can reduce a switching surge without other circuits such as snubber and improve power efficiency at light load. Therefore it can reduce loss of switching surge, and improve power efficiency. From the results, 37% maximum power efficiency improvement at light load is confirmed. Furthermore, this method is capable for control in the conventional method in the heavy load range. Consequently, it is possible to reduce the switching surge and realize high power efficiency in a wide load range.2013 15th European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications, EPE 2013; Lille; France; 2 September 2013 through 6 September 201
