This thesis presents an active clamp forward converter for use in the Energy Harvesting From Exercise Machines project. Ideally, this converter will find use as the centerpiece in a process that links elliptical trainers to the California grid. This active clamp forward converter boasts a 14V-60V input voltage range and 150W power rating, which closely match the output voltage and power levels from the elliptical trainer. The isolated topology outputs 51V, higher than previous, non-isolated attempts, which allows the elliptical trainers to interact with a central grid-tied inverter instead of many small ones. The final converter operated at greater than 86% efficiency over most of the elliptical trainer’s input range, and produced very little noise, making it a solid choice for this implementation.

In this thesisanalysis, design and implementation of a DC-DC converter with active clamp forward topology is presented. The main objective of this thesis is generating a rectified sinusoidal voltage at the output of the converter. This is accomplished by changing the reference signal of the converter. The converter output is applied to an inverter circuit in order to obtain sinusoidal waveform. The zero crossing points of the converter is detected and the inverter drive signals are generated in order to obtain sinusoidal waveform from the output of the converter. Next, the operation of the DC-DC converter and sinusoidal output inverter coupled performance is investigated with resistive and inductive loads to find out how the proposed topology performs. The design is implemented with an experimental set-up and steady state and dynamic performance of the designed power supply is tested. Finally an evaluation of how better performance can be obtained from this kind of arrangement to obtain a sinusoidal output inverted is thoroughly discussed

Full textAbstract:
The bi-directional dc/dc converter is a very popular and effective tool for alternative energy applications. One way it can be utilized is to charge and discharge batteries used in residential solar energy systems. In the day, excess power from the PV panels is used to charge the batteries. During the night, the charged batteries will power the dc bus for loads in the house such as home appliances. The dual active bridge (DAB) converter is very useful because of its high power capability and efficiency. Its symmetry is effective in transferring power in both directions. However, the DAB converter has drawbacks in the start-up stage. These drawbacks in boost mode include high in-rush current during start-up, and the fact that the high side voltage cannot be lower than the low side voltage. A popular existing method to alleviate this problem is the use of an active clamp and a flyback transformer in the circuit topology to charge the high side before the converter is switched into normal boost operation. The active clamp not only helps eliminate the transient spike caused by the transformer leakage, but also continues to be used during steady state. However, this method introduces a new current spike occurring when the converter transitions from start-up mode to boost mode. To alleviate this new setback, an additional transitional stage is proposed to significantly reduce the current spike without the use of any additional components. The converter is current-fed on the low side, and voltage-fed on the high side. A simple phase shift control is used in buck mode and PWM control is used during the boost mode for both the start-up mode and the normal boost operation. This thesis discusses the performance results of a 48-400 V dc/dc converter with 1000 W power output.Master of Science

This thesis presents a single-stage AC-to-DC power converter, which consists of a boost-type power factor corrector (PFC) and a two-transformer active-clamp forward converter. The PFC stage adopts the voltage-follower control under discontinuous conduction mode. It helps reduce the volume of the boost inductor. The current control loop is not required to reduce the circuit design complexity. By utilizing separate transformers, the proposed converter features zero-voltage switching and good line regulation over a wide range of the input voltage. The output power can be shared by two transformers to reduce their volumes and the stresses of components at secondary side. This allows high power density design. The operating principle of this single-stage power converter has been analyzed, described and discussed in detail. The simulaton softwares, Mathcade and PSIM, are applied for circuit design. The experimental results with an input voltage of 115 Vac and an output of 19 V/140 W reveal a maximum efficiency of 85% and a maximum power factor of 0.99.

As the power transfer becomes more and more widely applied, the customers’ demands for the power efficiency, size and reliability becomes higher accordingly; however, the conventional forward diode rectifying converter can hardly meet the demands. This paper adopts the active clamp structure to combine with auxiliary switches and clamper capacitance, which can effectively restrain the voltage transient and minimize the damages caused by switch changeover, as well as improve the converting efficiency. The capacity elements can operate a wider range of input voltage. In practice, the Pulse Width Modulation controller is used for the research on efficiency improvement of forward converter. From the experimental results, the methods proposed in the study have realized the improvement results.

This thesis describes application of the active-clamp technique to achieve soft-switching for forward converters. For forward converters, the power switch causes high switching loss as the result of high current and high voltage generated during turn-on and turn-off periods. Generally, high switch loss hinders the improvement of efficiency and power density . In order to reduce switching loss, a resonant inductor is added in the primary side of the forward converter to form a resonant tank with the clamped capacitor. As the result, zero voltage switching (ZVS) for the main power switch can then be achieved to reduce the switching loss. In this thesis, the state-space averaging technique is used to describe the state equation. K factor is applied to design compensator and to greatly enhance the stability of the system so as to meet the requirements. Finally, IsSpice is conducted to simulate the dynamics of the converter. Based on the simulated result, a 120W forward converter with voltage clamp is built to verify with the theoretical analysis.

This thesis mainly studies and implements two two-stage AC/DC power converters. The front-stage is a power factor correction circuit and the second-stage is a soft-switching DC/DC converter with synchronous rectifier. The DC/DC converter applies active clamp forward converter and asymmetrical half-bridge converter individually. These two circuits have similar zero-voltage-switching operating features, and the main circuit has the same number of components. A comparison between the two topologies is made in this thesis. The power consumption at no load condition can be reduced by disabling the power factor correction circuit and synchronous rectifier. In addition, the pulse skip scheme is used to reduce the losses of the converter at no load condition. Experimental results show that both these two prototypes can achieve 87% efficiency and 0.95 power factor at DC 12V/8A output condition.

This thesis introduces the circuit behavior of an active clamp forward converter and the range of dead time between two switches. Since there are the dc bias current problem and core saturation problem in the main transformer, we will consider these problems in the design process of resonant inductor. An active clamp forward converter uses two power MOS-FETs, an additional inductance and a clamp capacitance to recycle the energy of leaking inductance to achieve ZVS. Since we utilize the active clamp circuit to reset magnetic energy, the reset winding became unnecessary and duty cycle can be greater than 0.5.This work not only describes the system circuit behavior on every time stage but also verifies the theory by Pspice and Matlab software. Finally, an prototype active clamp forward converter is built to verify the zero switching and the suitable design of resonant inductor.

This paper is to present the design and realization of the forward converter with active clamp reset (FACR). The zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) is achieved by a resonant inductor to reduce the switching loss. In order to increase the efficiency, a synchronous rectifier is adopted by using MOSFET with low RDS(ON)(about 10mΩ) at the output end. To further stabilize the system, a voltage mode control with voltage feed-forward is adopted to eliminate the variation of the input voltage variation for reducing the number of variables in the transfer function. This paper first analyzes the operation of the zero-voltage-switching forward converter with active clamp reset and synchronous rectification. The small-signal transfer function is derived for the analysis of frequency response. Both system stability and dynamic response are also conducted. Finally, a design procedure of the zero-voltage-switch forward converter with active clamp reset and synchronous rectification is proposed. A design example of DC/DC converter, whose input is 48V (ranged from 40~60VDC) and the output is 5V/20A, is implemented to verify the computer simulation and the theoretical predictions. 英文摘要 Ⅱ 誌謝 Ⅲ 目錄 Ⅳ 圖表索引 Ⅶ 第一章 緒論 1 1.1 研究動機 1 1.2 研究目的 2 1.3 內容簡介 4 第二章 順向式轉換器的原理 6 2.1 洩磁繞組順向式轉換器 6 2.2 諧振洩磁順向式轉換器 10 2.3 被動式箝位洩磁順向式轉換器 12 第三章 主動式零電壓順向式轉換器分析 16 3.1 動作原理與穩態分析 16 第四章 同步整流電路 30 4.1 同步整流簡介 30 4.2 順向式轉換器同步整流原理 31 第五章 系統分析及補償 34 5.1 系統小訊號分析 34 5.2 控制方式 41 5.3 回授補償技術 43 第六章 設計考量 47 6.1 工作週期 47 6.2 諧振電感設計 47 6.3 變壓器設計 48 6.4 切換功率晶體開關的選用 52 6.5 同步整流開關的選用 53 6.6 切換功率晶體驅動電路的設計 53 6.7 輸出電容、電感的設計 55 6.8 箝位電容的設計 57 第七章 設計實例 60 7.1 工作週期 60 7.2 諧振電感設計 60 7.3 變壓器設計 61 7.4 切換功率晶體開關的選用 62 7.5 同步整流電晶體的選用 62 7.6 切換功率晶體驅動電路的設計 62 7.7 輸出電容、電感的設計 62 7.8 箝位電容的設計 63 7.9 控制器設計 63 第八章 系統模擬 66 8.1 主電路各點波形模擬 66 8.2 IsSpice 模擬結果 67 8.3 提昇IsSpice模擬速度的方法 73 8.4 小訊號模擬 74 第九章 量測與結果 77 9.1 電路實際量測結果 77 9.2 電路實測波形 79 9.3 小訊號量測結果 86 9.4 討論 88 第十章 結論 90 參考文獻 91

This thesis presents the study and implementation of a novel active clamp forward converter to solve the voltage spike problem on the freewheel diode at secondary side. The voltage stress and the switching loss of the secondary component can thus be reduced. At the same time, the primary-side switch can be turned off at decreased drain current to lower the switching loss. Moreover, by adopting the active clamp circuit, the primary-side switch can achieve zero-voltage turn-on to reduce the switching loss and raise the conversion efficiency. The operating principles are analyzed in detail. Finally, a 480-W prototype of the proposed active clamp forward converter has been built according to the design procedures. The peak efficiency can be up to 94.88%.

In order to improve the efficiency of the isolated switched mode power supplies, an active-clamp circuit is usually used at the primary side of the transformer to reset the transformer, to suppress the turn-off surge and to achieve the energy recovery of the surge. Some previous works regarding the effect of the active-clamp circuit on flyback converter have been reported. The converter that has an unstable phenomenon for a certain range of clamp capacitance is addressed through analytical and experimental considerations. Using the active-clamp circuit to suppress the turn-off surge will become more popular since the voltage rating of the primary switch in a forward converter is usually higher than that of other converters. The paper is to clarify the effect of clamp capacitance on an active-clamp forward converter by both the experiment and the analysis.

The purpose of this thesis is to design and implement a digital-controlled and active-clamp forward converter. Based on the design of active-clamp architecture, a clamp capacitor and a resonant inductor are used to recover the energy from transformer leakage inductance to improve shortcomings such as high switch stress and RCD snubber power loss in the traditional forward converter. All switches have zero voltage switching (ZVS) characteristics in the implemented active-clamp forward converter to reduce the switching loss. In the utilized forward converter, two switch control signals, both are complementary of which property is different from the traditional interleaved forward converter having 180˚phase-shifted switch control signal. Therefore, the two output inductor currents are interleaved and the output current ripple can be reduced. The implemented forward converter specifies the maximum power 240W, the input voltage 380V, the output voltage 24V and the operation frequency 100kHz. The used controller is the microcontroller TMS320F28035 produced by Texas Instruments. It is verified that the efficiency reaches more than 93% at full load as well as the analysis on operation waveform and overall circuit loss can be proved with the simulation software PSIM.

This thesis aims to study and implement an isolated high step-up converter that improves the efficiency and durability that plagues the conventional DC-DC converters for renewable energy sources. Generally, the input, such as photovoltaic arrays and the fuel cell stacks, of the above mentioned converters are generally of low voltages. Thus, a high voltage step-up converter is required to boost the voltage a higher voltage level for the front-end applications. However, the efficiency and voltage gain of conventional DC-DC step-up converters are limited due to the parasitic components. Furthermore, galvanic isolation is a common requirement for such converters, further degrading the efficiency due to the added transformer. In order to solve the above mentioned problems, this thesis proposes a dual-resonant active-clamp forward/flyback converter. This topology is a combination of forward converter and flyback converter, while increasing the utilization of transformer. Moreover, by utilizing the additional inductor to introduce resonance into the circuit, the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) region of the switches is increased and zero-current-switching (ZCS) turn-off for diodes is achieved. Meanwhile, fixed frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) can be maintained by simply selecting the correct component parameters in the resonant tank. Moreover, the proposed converter has low voltage ripple owing to the parallel connection of two resonant output rectifiers in secondary, facilitating the elimination of electrolytic-capacitors. This thesis first proceeds with the circuit analysis of this proposed topology, then discusses the design considerations. After that, simulation is done with Powersim. Finally, a 250W prototype circuit is implemented to verify the theoretical examination.

The active clamp zero voltage switching forward converter with power factor corrector allows zero voltage switching (ZVS) while retaining the merits of simple circuit designed and low stresses. The active clamp ZVS forward converter uses parasitic components to resonate. Therefore, additional resonant components are not required. Moreover, the switching stresses are reduced by using of ZVS resonant technique. The high power factor active clamp ZVS forward converter has the merit of fixed duty cycle operation. A combination of parasitic components, which includes the MOSFETs output capacitance and the leakage inductance of the isolation transformer, produces a resonant action and reduces drain-source voltage prior to turn-on. Moreover, the switching loss is reduced relatively. Therefore, high efficiency operation of system is achieved. The NCP1280 IC manufactured by ON Semiconductor Corp. is adopted in this thesis as the pulse width modulation (PWM) controller. The unique active clamp topology can recycle energy of released magnetic force, and simplifies the driving circuit of the MOSFETs. Finally, the experimental results of the power factor corrector, ZVS and efficiency have shown the effectiveness of the designed active clamp ZVS forward converter with power factor corrector.

This thesis proposes a novel single phase inverter based on the active clamp forward converter technique. First, an active clamp forward converter is used to boost the DC input voltage and to output a sinusoidal full-wave rectifier type voltage. Then the full bridge switches circuit of the inverter changes the polar of the output voltage by controlling the states of the switches to output an AC sinusoidal voltage. The active clamp forward converter has the advantages of simple structure, small size, and low switching los. Moreover, because the switches of the full bridge circuit are used to change the polar of the output voltage, the switching frequency and switching loss are low, so that the output efficiency of the inverter is high. Next, the exactitude of the control circuits was validated by using the simulation. Moreover, an active clamp forward inverter is actually implemented. A Texas Instruments digital signal processor, TMS320F2808, is used to execute the control scheme and control the driving signal. As a result, a fully digital control system is realized to reduce the hardware circuits. Finally, the experimental results can validate the exactitude and the practicability of proposed circuit.

A current-doubler rectifier two-switch active-clamp forward converter with one ground-clamp diode is proposed in this thesis. The proposed exhibits the features of wide-input voltage-range application, low output current ripple and high efficiency. A two-switch active-clamp forward converter has a main drawback that its maximum duty ratio is limited to 0.5 to guarantee flux reset for the magnetizing inductor of transformer. The limitation of duty ratio causes the narrow input voltage range. In order to overcome this drawback, the hybrid-bridge switching circuit structure of a two-switch active-clamp forward converter should be destruct. Therefore, two switches and only one ground-clamp diode are utilized to the proposed converter herein. Moreover, a delay turn-off gate signal is used to drive the grounded switch, and thus all the switches of the proposed converter can achieve zero-voltage switching (ZVS) condition under turn-on transition. On the other hand, when the proposed converter with current-doubler rectifier can be operated at duty ratio , it can provide the output current ripple cancellation completely to reduce the size of output filter and increase the power density. The operating principles, component design and power switch selection of the proposed converter are investigated. The IsSpice simulations and experimental results are provided based on an input voltage 400 V, output voltage 48 V and output power 200 W prototype to verify the theoretical analysis of the proposed converter. In addition, according to the experimental results, the maximum power efficiency of the proposed converter is about 84%.

The modern power products towards the development of low-voltage, large current, small profile, low cost and high-efficiency. Among them, the forward converter is a proper design structure. By raising the switching frequency to 350KHz, the most volume and weight of the transformer and inductance can be reduced. The wire windings of the transformer and inductance can be layout on the PCB board to replace the traditional wire windings on the bobbin and make this structure have the advantage of the small profile. However, when the switching frequency is raised, the switching losses and electromagnetic interference will increase, so how to reduce the losses and interference and increase efficiency is worth research and discussion in the process of designing and developing the products. Therefore, this thesis adopts the technique of active-clamp reset in order to improve the efficiency of the whole system. The relevant design, analysis, proof, simulation and experiment have already been finished in this thesis. Besides, this thesis analyzes the large-signal transient for two kinds of the active-clamp reset forward converter. During the line and load transient changes of the converter, the maximum magnetizing current of the transformer, the peak voltage of the main switch and the overshoot of output voltage will affect the dynamic performance and safety range in the operation of circuit. The state trajectory and average state trajectory approaches are used to analyze their transient behavior about the maximum magnetizing current of the transformer and the peak voltage of the main switch in order to under the worst-case conditions its parameter situation of change can be estimated and examined in advance, and can observe the dynamic response of the circuit to enable the whole system designed in the safe requirement in advance.

Due to the quality of the power converter depends on the power factor and the conversion efficiency, a novel zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) single-stage active clamp forward AC/DC converter is proposed in this paper. It is verified to exhibit with both high power factor and high conversion efficiency. The proposed converter is an integration of buck-boost and active clamp forward converter by means of the component placement. Thanks to the inherent high power factor of buck-boost converter and the soft-switching property of active clamp forward converter, the current-feedback controller and soft-switching auxiliary circuit are not necessary to achieve high power factor and ZVS. Hence, the cost of the converter is substantially reduced. In addition, since the energy stored in the transformer leakage inductance is recycling and the transformer is operating in the multi-quadrant of the B-H plane, the voltage spike at the switch can be suppressed and the size of the transformer can be thereby minimized. In this thesis, the operating principle and the averaged mathematical model of the novel converter are presented. Then, the value of each component is well designed to satisfy the electrical specifications and ZVS operation conditions. After determining the value of each component, the graphical method proposed by Professor Lin is adopted to derive the small-signal model of the novel converter. The voltage-feedback controller can then be designed by applying the classical control theory. Finally, the theoretical analysis is verified by IsSpice simulations and the experimental results. The experimental results reveal that when the input voltage , the switching frequency , the output voltage and the output power , the proposed converter exhibits power factor of 0.986 and efficiency of 86 % at full load. It validates the properties of high power factor and high conversion efficiency of the proposed converter.

The aim of this thesis is to develop a small scale DC-AC inverter based on active clamp forward topology for either stand-alone or grid-connected applications. The proposed inverter is characterized by a single stage structure in which active clamp forward conversion is adopted on the DC side and a full bridge inversion associated with LC filter is applied on the AC side. While the forward conversion part is operated at M-type high frequency sinusoidal pulse width modulation, the full bridge inversion part is switched at utility frequency. A step-up transformer is used not only to isolate the input from the output but also increase the voltage level from the DC input to the AC output. Except simplicity in structure, advantages of the proposed inverter include zero voltage switching for main and auxiliary switches in the forward converter, low switching losses in the full-bridge inverter, and regeneration of leakage magnetic energy in the transformer through resonance. To realize the inverter, an independent active clamp forward converter with rating 150W/24Vdc,in/200Vdc,out is constructed first. The theoretical analysis and simulation experience gained from the converter is then implanted to design and implement the micro-inverter with rating 200W/24Vdc,in /110Vac based on the device of 32-bits digital signal processor TMS320F28027. For stand-alone application, the inverter is controlled by AC voltage feedback. For grid-connected operation, the AC waveform of load current is monitored to ensure high power factor is maintained at the interconnection of inverter output and utility network. As a result, the experimental measurements confirm the theoretical prediction. All the inverter switches can be transited at zero voltage over full power range. The inverter efficiency reaches as high as 88.3% and the output power factor is above 99%

This thesis proposes an active-clamp forward inverter. The proposed inverter is developed with an active-clamp forward dc-dc converter, and then connecting with an H-bridge unfolding circuit to output low-frequency voltage. Because the transformer works in the first and third quadrants, it can reduce the volume of the core and the cost. This inverter solves the limitation of duty ratio and the voltage stress on the main switch by resting the flux of transformer wih the auxiliary switch and the clamp capacitor. The zero voltage switching (ZVS) is achieved by the resonant elements, the main switch and auxiliary switch. The zero voltage switching (ZVS) can effectively reduce the switching loss. The system uses the digital signal processor dsPIC30F4011, providing multiple sets of SPWM control signals, simplifying circuit complexity. Finally, a 150W prototype circuit is fabricated for the active-clamp forward inverter. The simulated and experimental results are measured to verify the correctness and feasibility of the proposed inverter.

The drive signal of synchronous rectifier switch is come from the transformer secondary side voltage in order to reduce the complexity of driven circuit designed. Finally, the design of the zero-voltage-switch Forward and Flyback converters with active clamp reset and synchronous rectification are proposed. A design example of AC/DC converter, whose input range from 90Vac~132Vac and the output 5V/20A is presented.

The traditional pulse-width-modulated flyback converter power switch has serious electromagnetic interference (EMI) and lower conversion efficiencies problems due to the hard-switching operations. This paper produces a soft switching flyback converter with an active-clamp circuit, the traditional pulse-width-modulated flyback converter with a active clamp circuit to achieve zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) at both main and auxiliary switches, the active-clamp circuit can reduce most of switching loss and voltage spikes across the switches and improve the overall efficiency of the converter. The theoretical analysis of soft switching flyback converter with an active-clamp circuit is verified exactly by a prototype of 120W with 100V input voltage, 24V output voltage and 50kHz operated frequency. During full load condition experimental results showed an 82.3% efficiency.
