This work presents a study about the NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) three-level inverter with a modified Undeland snubber and using a Buck-Boost converter to regenerate the energy processed by the snubber. Initially, qualitative and quantitative analysis of this inverter with the presence of the snubber are presented and a project methodology is proposed. The same analysis and project are presented for the Buck-Boost converter and it is shown that this converter can operate under ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching). Next, mathematical models of all circuitry necessary for the realization of the digital control of the inverter are presented and a controller is projected. Using data of the projected NPC inverter, Buck-Boost converter and digital controller, simulation results are presented. These simulations were done using software s Orcad Pspice and Simulink. Finally, implementation details and experimental results of a 1.5 kW, 800 V input voltage, 127 V output voltage and 200 kHz switching frequency prototype are presented.

Full textAbstract:
In the application of power inverters, power density has become a key design specification where it has stringent requirements on system size and weight. Achieving high power density need to combine lasted wide bandgap (WBG) device technology and high switching frequency to reduce passive filter size thus further shrink overall space. While still maintaining decent power conversion efficiency and low electromagnetic interference (EMI) with higher switching frequency, soft-switching needs to be implemented.
A novel auxiliary resonant snubber is introduced. The design and operation are carried out, in which this snubber circuitry enables main Gallium Nitride (GaN) switches operating under zero voltage switching (ZVS) condition, and auxiliary Silicon Carbide (SiC) diodes switching under zero current switching (ZCS) condition. Besides, the auxiliary snubber circuitry gating algorithm is also optimized which allows reduction of the switching and conduction loss in auxiliary GaN switches to obtain higher system efficiency and better thermal performance. Here, this novel auxiliary resonant snubber circuitry is applied to a traditional full bridge inverter with flexible modulation suitability. This proposed inverter can be applied to a wide range of potential applications, such as string solar inverter, renewable energy combined distributed generation, dc-ac part of bi-directional electrical vehicle (EV) on-board charger, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS), etc.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
With the rise in demand for renewable energy sources, photovoltaics have become increasingly popular as a means of reducing household dependence on the utility grid for power. But solar panels generate dc electricity, a dc to ac inverter is required to allow the energy to be used by the existing ac electrical distribution. Traditional full bridge inverters are able to accomplish this, but they suffer from many problems such as low efficiency, large size, high cost, and generation of electrical noise, especially common mode noise. Efforts to solve these issues have resulted in improved solutions, but they do not eliminate all of the problems and even exaggerate some of them.
Soft switching inverters are able to achieve high efficiency by eliminating the switching losses of the power stage switches. Since this action requires additional components that are large and have additional losses associated with them, these topologies have traditionally been limited to higher power levels. The resonant snubber inverter is a soft switching topology that eliminates many of these problems by taking advantage of the bipolar switching action of the power stage switches. This allows for a significant size reduction in the additional parts and elimination of common mode noise, making it an ideal candidate for lower power levels. Previous attempts to implement the resonant snubber inverter have been hampered by low efficiency due to parasitics of the silicon devices used, but, with recent developments in new semiconductor technologies such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride, these problems can be minimized and possibly eliminated.
The goal of this thesis is to design and experimentally verify a design of a resonant snubber inverter that takes advantage of new semiconductor materials to improve efficiency while maintaining minimal additional, parts, simple control, and elimination of common mode noise. A 600 W prototype is built. The performance improvements over previous designs are verified and compared to alternative high efficiency solutions along with a novel control technique for the auxiliary resonant snubber. A standalone and grid tie controller are developed to verify that the auxiliary resonant snubber and new auxiliary control technique does not complicate the closed loop control.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents an analytical approach using Root-Loci method for designing optimum passive series RC snubbers for continuous-current synchronous buck switch mode power supply (SMPS).
Synchronous buck SMPS is the most popular power converter topology found in modern consumer electronics. It offers relatively good efficiency to target the high-current and low-voltage requirements while it is also relatively inexpensive to implement.
Passive series RC snubbers are simple, efficient and cost-effective open-loop equalizer circuit for synchronous buck SMPS. Its purpose is to control and to balance between the rate of rise and the overshoots of transient switching waveform in order to optimize efficiency and reliability
Existing methods of RC snubber design are solely based on second-order approximation. It is investigated in this research that this approximation is highly inaccurate in SMPS applications because higher order equivalent models are required for the load path of the SMPS. The results using the RC snubbers obtained from existing method are shown to be unsatisfactory without correlation to the calculations and simulations based on second-order approximation. Optimum RC values obtained using Root-Loci approach presented in this thesis are shown to correlate to both Spice simulation and lab measurements.

Full textAbstract:
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a major concern in inverter motor drive systems. The sources of EMI have been commonly identified as high switching dv/dt and di/dt rates interacting with inverter parasitic components. The reduction of parasitic components relies on highly integrated circuit layout and packaging. This is the way to deal with noise path. On the other hand, switching dv/dt and di/dt can be potentially reduced by soft-switching techniques; thus the intensity of noise source is reduced.
In this paper, the relation between the dv/dt di/dt and the EMI generation are discussed. The EMI sources of a hard-switching single-phase PWM inverter are identified and measured with separation of common-mode and differential-mode noises. The noise reduction in an auxiliary resonant snubber inverter (RSI) is presented. The observation of voltage ringing and current ringing and the methods to suppress these ringing in the implementation of RSI are also discussed. The test condition and circuit layout are described as the basis of the study. And the experimental EMI spectra of both hard- and soft-switching inverter are compared. The effectiveness and limitation of the EMI reduction of the ZVT-RSI are also discussed and concluded.
The control interface circuit and gate driver design are described in the appendix. The implementation of variable charging time control of the resonant inductor current is also explained in the appendix.

Thesis (MScEng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis describes the study of two soft-switching inverter topologies that are well suited to high-power applications. For the first topology, namely an active resonant turn-off snubber, the existing theory is expanded with a detailed study into operation strategies and topology protection. This is followed by an investigation into the second topology, which is a combined snubber that reduces both turn-off and turn-on losses. The investigation involves a detailed analysis of the losses in the snubber components and main devices, as well as a study into the effects of parasitic components and diode reverse recovery on the operation of the snubber. Based on this theory a snubber optimisation procedure is also developed. Possible operation strategies and protection techniques were also evaluated for this topology. Single-phase experimental inverters were used to verify the basic operation theory and switching loss prediction for both topologies. The thesis is concluded by the design and construction of a practical soft-switching threephase inverter. After implementation the experimental inverter is used for theory verification.

This master thesis aim to design and evaluate a high power 3-phase DC/AC and AC/AC converter. The purpose is to use it for an electric motor in an aircraft possibly driving electric actuators, a propeller in an UAV or a small vehicle. Factors such as power loss and weight are of importance and will be estimated using known models supplied by various manufacturers of components. Different topologies of semiconductors suitable for this purpose are examined and presented. Extensive resources have been put to properly select the most suitable switching device according to their power loss and weight.
The need for filters and protective circuits will be estimated according to regulations of common military avionic standards and will be included in the resulting estimation along with simulations to evaluate their need and importance. Snubber circuits will be presented and their specific ability to reduce voltage transients and switching losses will be examined along with some simulations to illustrate their performance. In the final part an estimation of efficiency and weight of higher and lower power models of the same inverter has been made using the same procedure as presented in this paper. Engineering rules have been formed from these estimations to simply be able to calculate the proportions of a future converter of arbitrary rated power.

CAPESEste trabalho apresenta um sistema eletrônico com entrada universal utilizando um retificador SEPIC não isolado para fornecer e controlar a corrente de LEDs de potência. Um Snubber regenerativo que reduz as perdas de comutação e melhora a eficiência do sistema é proposto. Para realizar a dimerização, bem como reduzir a ondulação da corrente nos LEDs, um regulador linear de corrente é conectado na saída do conversor SEPIC. A utilização do regulador linear também permite que o conversor opere com entrada universal sem a utilização de circuitos adicionais. Para evitar perdas excessivas, o regulador é configurado para operar na região limiar da regulação. O ponto de perda mínimo do regulador é ajustado através de um circuito detector de mínimo com o sistema operando em malha fechada. As etapas de operação, as formas de onda e as principais equações do snubber regenerativo aplicado ao SEPIC são descritas no trabalho. Para verificar e validar a análise teórica são apresentados dois protótipos com potências de saída de 42 W e 145 W, variando de 15% a 100%, para o conversor operando com tensão de entrada de 90 a 240 V e alimentado 35 LEDs conectados em série.
This paper presents a universal-input AC electronic lighting system using a non-isolated SEPIC PFC rectifier to drive and control power LEDs currents. One energy regenerative snubber for reducing the converter switching losses and improve the system efficiency is proposed. The dimmable flicker-free current in the LEDs array is obtained through a linear current regulator placed in the SEPIC’s output terminals. In order to reduce the efficiency impairment, the conditions for achieving minimum energy loss in the current regulator are also detailed. Point of minimum energy loss in the linear regulator is adjusted through valley detector circuit in closed loop system operation. The operation stages as well as the theoretical waveforms and main equations at steady state of the proposed SEPIC rectifier using the regenerative snubber are described. To verify the theoretical analysis carried out, experimental results of two prototypes (42 W and 145 W) operating from 90 to 240 V and output power from 15 to 100% for 35 LEDs are also presented.

Full textAbstract:
Photovoltaic (PV) system is one of the most prominent energy sources, producing electricity directly from sunlight. In additionally, it is easy to install and is supported financially by many governments as part of their strategy to reduce CO2 gas emissions, and to achieve their agreed set of reduction targets by 2020. In the meantime, researchers have been working on the PV system to make it more efficient, easy to maintain, reliable to use and cost effective. In the stand-alone PV system, a battery is required. This is due to the fluctuating nature of the output energy delivered by the PV arrays owing to the weather conditions and the unpredictable behaviour of uses with regard to the consumption of energy. During the hours of sunshine, the PV system is directly feeding the load and any surplus electrical energy is stored in the battery at a constant current. During the night, or during a period of low solar irradiation, the energy is supplied to the load from the battery. However, the stand-alone PV system is designed to provide an acceptable balance between reliability and cost, which is a major challenge to the designer owing to the approaches used to size the PV arrays and the battery bank. As a result, the unpredictable, quick daily changes on the PV output is not dependable. Moreover, battery performance, length of life and energy efficiency depends on the rate at which it is discharged. Therefore, it is essential to use other methods to deal with any quick variation in energy. In this thesis, a super capacitor is used to solve this problem, as it can deal with the fast-changing weather, or a rapid variation in the energy requirements of the customer. A critical evaluation with in-depth analysis of the placement and the implementation for the super-capacitor in the PV standalone system has been carried out. The results show, super-capacitor capacitance and the converter efficiency affect the delivered load energy. However, the bi-directional topology performs better than uni-directional under the same conditions. Finally, a further improvement of the system at component level, has been developed through an energy recovery snubber for the switching transition and achieved a recovery of energy for the resistive load, 94.44% for the turn on transition and 92.86% for the turn off transition. Moreover, for the inductive load, 78.33% and 97.33% of energy has been recovered for the turn on and for the turn off transition respectively.

The trend of electrification in transportation applications has led to the fast development of high-power-density power electronics converters. High-switching-frequency and high-temperature operations are the two key factors towards this target. Both requirements, however, are challenging the fundamental limit of silicon (Si) based devices. The emerging wide-bandgap, silicon carbide (SiC) power devices have become the promising solution to meet these requirements. With these advanced devices, the technology barrier has now moved to the compatible integration technology that can make the best of device capabilities in high-power-density converters. Many challenges are present, and some of the most important issues are explored in this dissertation.
First of all, the high-temperature performances of the commercial SiC MOSFET are evaluated extensively up to 200 degree C. The static and switching characterizations show that the device has superior electrical performances under elevated temperatures. Meanwhile, the gate oxide stability of the device - a known issue to SiC MOSFETs in general - is also evaluated through both high-temperature gate biasing and gate switching tests. Device degradations are observed from these tests, and a design trade-off between the performance and reliability of the SiC MOSFET is concluded.
To understand the interactions between devices and circuit parasitics, an experimental parametric study is performed to investigate the influences of stray inductances on the MOSFETs switching waveforms. A small-signal model is then developed to explain the parasitic ringing in the frequency domain. From this angle, the ringing mechanism can be understood more easily and deeply. With the use of this model, the effects of DC decoupling capacitors in suppressing the ringing can be further explained in a more straightforward way than the traditional time-domain analysis. A rule of thumb regarding the capacitance selection is also derived.
A Power Electronics Building Block (PEBB) module is then developed with discrete SiC MOSFETs. Integrating the power stage together with the peripheral functions such as gate drive and protection, the PEBB concept allows the converter to be built quickly and reliably by simply connecting several PEBB modules. The high-speed gate drive and power stage layout designs are presented to enable fast and safe switching of the SiC MOSFET. Based on the PEBB platform, the state-of-the-art Si and SiC power MOSFETs are also compared in the device characteristics, temperature influences, and loss distributions in a high-frequency converter, so that special design considerations can be concluded for the SiC MOSFET.
Towards high-temperature, high-frequency and high-power operations, integrated wire-bond phase-leg modules are also developed with SiC MOSFET bare dice. High-temperature packaging materials are carefully selected based on an extensive literature survey. The design considerations of improved substrate layout, laminated bus bars, and embedded decoupling capacitors are all discussed in detail, and are verified through a modeling and simulation approach in the design stage. The 200 degree C, 100 kHz continuous operation is demonstrated on the fabricated module. Through the comparison with a commercial SiC phase-leg module designed in the traditional way, it is also shown that the design considerations proposed in this work allow the SiC devices in the wire-bond structure to be switched twice as fast with only one-third of the parasitic ringing.
To further push the performance of SiC power modules, a novel hybrid packaging technology is developed which combines the small parasitics and footprint of a planar module with the easy fabrication of a wire-bond module. The original concept is demonstrated on a high-temperature rectifier module with SiC JFET. A modified structure is then proposed to further improve design flexibility and simplify module fabrication. The SiC MOSFET phase-leg module built in this structure successfully reaches the switching speed limit of the device almost without any parasitic ringing.
Finally, a new switching loop snubber circuit is proposed to damp the parasitic ringing through magnetic coupling without affecting either conduction or switching losses of the device. The concept is analyzed theoretically and verified experimentally. The initial integration of such a circuit into the power module is presented, and possible improvements are proposed.Ph. D.

This thesis examines converter topologies suitable for Module Integrated Converters
(MICs) in grid interactive photovoltaic (PV) systems, and makes a contribution to
the development of the MIC topologies based on the two-inductor boost converter,
which has received less research interest than other well known converters.
The thesis provides a detailed analysis of the resonant two-inductor boost converter
in the MIC implementations with intermediate constant DC links. Under variable
frequency control, this converter is able to operate with a variable DC gain while
maintaining the resonant condition. A similar study is also provided for the resonant
two-inductor boost converter with the voltage clamp, which aims to increase the
output voltage range while reducing the switch voltage stress. An operating point
with minimized power loss can be also established under the fixed load condition.
Both the hard-switched and the soft-switched current fed two-inductor boost
converters are developed for the MIC implementations with unfolding stages. Nondissipative
snubbers and a resonant transition gate drive circuit are respectively
employed in the two converters to minimize the power loss.
The simulation study of a frequency-changer-based two-inductor boost converter is
also provided. This converter features a small non-polarised capacitor in a second
phase output to provide the power balance in single phase inverter applications.
Four magnetic integration solutions for the two-inductor boost converter have also
been presented and they are promising in reducing the converter size and power loss.

My study contains a semiotic analysis of two photos posted by the Instagram account Snubbarinreder, an account that posts photos of homes allegedly belonging to men. There are clear tendencies on the account to portray men as heavy consumers of alcohol and video games alongside a general inability or disinterest in caring for a home. My study is based mainly on studies by Beverly Skeggs and Göran Eriksson on how the working class are commonly portrayed in the media. The purpose of the study is to investigate aspects of class in the portrayal of men in the posted photos. Eriksson and Skeggs explains that it is common to portray the working class as exaggerated, tasteless and out of control, which my study shows are also recurring themes in the portrayal of men on Snubbarinreder. Thus, the results of the study shows that there are similarities between the portrayal of the working class in, for example Reality-TV, and the portrayal of men on the Instagram account Snubbarinreder.

Syftet med studien är att beskriva hur involverad skolpersonal och samverkande socialsekreterare arbetar för att kartlägga och motverka elevers ogiltiga frånvaro. Genom att undersöka personalens upplevelse av orsaker till ogiltig frånvaro, hur de upplever att de arbetar med ogiltig frånvaro och hur de tillsammans arbetar för att motverka ogiltig frånvaro. Den aktuella publicerade forskning som använts är både internationell och nationell. Styrdokument, lagtext, allmänna råd samt forskning av Skolverket och Socialstyrelsen har även beaktats. Det teorietiska perspektiv som ligger till grund för analys är inklusion och exklusion. Utifrån kvalitativa halvstrukturerade livsvärldsintervjuer med fem informanter som tillfrågats med utgångspunkt av dessas yrkesroll i skolan. De professioner som tillfrågats är rektor, kurator, socialpedagog, lärare samt samverkande socialsekreterare. Intervjuer med informanterna har spelats in med diktafon, transkriberats för att sedan analyseras. Analysen gjordes utifrån teman: orsaker, arbete med och arbete tillsammans med ogiltig frånvaro. Tolkningen av materialet har skett utifrån samstämmighet och olikheter i svaren. I studiens diskussion tas det upp att den främsta orsaken till ogiltig frånvaro är hemsituationen. I de fall eleven har en svår hemsituation visar forskningen att skolan kan vara en skyddsfaktor för att förhindra elevens exklusion. Där den ogiltiga frånvaron ändå är skolrelaterade beror det främst på andra elevers inflytande, grupptryck. Alla informanter upplever att de i sitt arbete har en medvetenhet om var eleverna med stor ogiltig frånvaro befinner sig utifrån skolans arbetsmodell. Studiens resultat är att de orsaker som ligger bakom ogiltig frånvaro huvudsakligen är relaterade till hemsituationen. Involverad personal upplever en förbättring utifrån arbetsrutinen i skoltrappan. Att arbeta tillsammans är en framgångsfaktor för att minska ogiltig frånvaro.The aim of the study is to describe how school staff and social workers identify and prevent truancy in the Swedish compulsory school. The study explores the school workers professional experiances of the underlying causes of truancy and what measures are taken in collaboration with social authorities to prevent pupils´ absence from school. The study is based on current international and national research and takes into account policy documents, legal texts and general advice issued by the Swedish National Agency for Education and the National board of Health and Welfare. The theoretical perspective used in of the analyses are the terms inclusion and exclusion. Qualitative semi-structured lifeworld interviews with five professional categories (a school head master, a councelor, a teacher and two social workers) working in school were performed. The interviews focused on causes of truancy and collaborative work involving both school professionals and social workers. The interviews were recorded and subsequently transcribed and analysed. The analysis was performed thematically, causes of truancy and collaborative work to prevent truancy. The interpretation of the data was based on consensus and differences in the responses. As can be seen from the discussion, the primary cause of truancy is related to the pupil´s home situation. Research shows that school can be a protective factor to prevent exclusion. In cases where truancy is related to the school situation it is principally a result of group pressure from other pupils. All respondents in the interviews stated that they have an awareness of where pupils with extensive absenteeism are in relation to the school´s work model to prevent truancy. Collaborative work is a success factor to reduce truancy.

Full textAbstract:
Modeling of switched-mode DC-DC converters has been receiving significant interest due to their widespread applications. Averaged modeling is the most common approach (and tool) that has been used to analyze dynamic performance of converter circuits. Specifically, state-space averaged models are widely used because of their simplicity and generality. However, as has been shown in the literature, the challenges of directly applying this approach to predict the discontinuous variables (states) and include the parasitics and losses have limited application of this approach to a wider range of converter circuits. The recently introduced parametric average value models (PAVM) has a potential to overcome this problem.
In this Thesis, first of all a second-order flyback converter has been investigated. An analytical solution of state-apace averaging and small-signal analysis of the flyback converter in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is given without and with parasitics. The PAVM methodology has been applied to the second-order model to overcome the problem of discontinuous state during the DCM.
The snubber circuits in flyback converter have also been investigated. Appearance of snubbers in the model introduces a problem on the output voltage besides improving the efficiency prediction. It is shown that with the snubbers the conventional state-space averaging cannot predict the output voltage correctly in CCM and DCM. To solve this problem the model is partitioned into two different sub-circuits: i) switching sub-circuit circuit; and ii) non-switching sub-circuit. Thereafter it becomes possible apply the averaging on the switching sub-circuit only.
Finally, a full-order flyback converter with two RC snubber circuits and all the basic parasitics is considered. The PAVM methodology has been extended to this class of switching converter for the first time. It is shown that including the snubbers and parasitics significantly improves the model accuracy in terms of predicting converter efficiency, which represents an appreciable improvement over all previously existing average models. The proposed model has been verified with detailed simulations and hardware measurements.

Full textAbstract:
Modeling and analysis of basic DC-DC converters is essential for enabling power-electronic solutions for the future energy systems and applications. Average-value modeling (AVM) provides a time-efficient tool for studying power electronic systems, including DC/DC converters. Many AVM techniques including the analytical and numerical state-space averaging and circuit averaging have been developed over the years and available in the literature. Average-value modeling of ideal PWM converters neglects parasitics (losses) to simplify the derivations and modeling procedures, and the resulting models may not be sufficiently accurate for practical converters.
In this work, first we consider a second-order Flyback converter, which has transformer isolation and additional parasitics such as conduction losses that have not been accurately included in the prior literature. We propose three new AVMs using the analytical state-space averaging, circuit averaging, and parametric AVM approaches, respectively. By taking into account conduction losses, the accuracy of the proposed average-value models is significantly improved. The derived (corrected) models show noticeable improvement over the traditional (un-corrected) models.
Next, we consider the Flyback converter including the snubbers and leakage inductances in the full-order model. Snubbers reduce electromagnetic interfaces (EMI) during transients and protect switching devices from high voltage, and therefore are necessary in many practical converter circuits. Including snubbers into the model improves accuracy in predicting the circuit variables during the time-domain transients as well as predicting the converter efficiency. It is shown that conventional analytical/numerical methods of averaging do not result in accurate AVM for the full-order Flyback converter. A new formulation for the state-space averaging methodology is proposed that is functional for higher-order converters with parasitics and result in highly accurate AVM. The new approach is justified mathematically and verified experimentally using hardware prototype and measurements. The new model is demonstrated to achieve accurate results in large signal time-domain transients, and small-signal frequency-domain analysis in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), which represents advancement to the state-of-the-art in this field.

Full textAbstract:
Smartphones have changed the way people interact with each other in modern society. However, while they are becoming more omnipresent in human life, there is increasing concern that they are often used at inappropriate times during social interactions, and that people often ignore others in favour of their phones. In this thesis, we explore the phenomenon of "phubbing" - the act of snubbing someone in a social setting by concentrating on one's mobile phone. In a series of ten empirical studies, we demonstrate that Internet addiction, fear of missing out, and self-control predict smartphone addiction, which in turn predicts the extent to which people phub. This path also predicts the extent to which people feel that phubbing is normative, both via (a) the extent to which people are phubbed themselves, and (b) independently. Phubbing also significantly dampens perceived communication quality and relationship satisfaction in dyadic conversation. These effects are mediated by reduced feelings of belonging and both positive and negative affect. In addition, the results indicate that the degree to which someone is affected by phubbing is not determined by the relationship status between phubber and phubbee. We also develop and validate the Generic Scale of Phubbing (GSP) to assess phubbing behaviour, and the Generic Scale of Being Phubbed (GSBP) to assess the experience of being phubbed. Both scales reveal good psychometric properties. In conclusion, the results of the current research allow us to better understand how phubbing permeates and affects human social life.

Solar Bora AB is a Linköping based company that provides end to end solution for clean and reliable energy. System developed by them generates high power 230V AC to run electrical appliances. The system consist of string of batteries which are charged by rooftop solar cells and the energy stored in the batteries is converted to AC to provide a grid voltage like experience even though the system is not connected to a grid. Energy stored in the batteries need to be converted from DC to AC efficiently. Inverter used for conversion should be efficient enough to reduce losses. This master thesis deals with optimization and Up-gradation of Half-Bridge inverter board so that switching loss can be minimized to increase efficiency. Initial part of the thesis involves investigation of different parameters which contribute to losses in inverter. Based on that some improvements were suggested in existing design of half-bridge board. Another task involved in the thesis was complete re-design of half-bridge. More efficient and robust components were selected for complete re-design. Based on new components and its specifications a new circuit and PCB was designed in Altium Designer. Lab testing was performed to verify the functionality of new Half-bridge.

With the ongoing development of power electronics technology, the inverter of IGBT are widely applied to power converting applications. It is well known that output over-voltage and energy loss during switching of inverter are the main causes for the damage of power electronic devices. To solve this problem, we first characterize the general behavior of IGBT with research, then energy loss of IGBT in both hard switching and soft switching is empirically studied. Based on these simulation results, this thesis proposes a new kind of snubber using passive lossless IGBT half-bridge inverter. Extensive simulations are carried out, and results of which verify that the snubber can suppress over-voltage and the switching loss can be effectively reduced.

An efficient active LC snubber for multi-output converters is proposed in this paper. The proposed active LC snubber can be used to reset transformer and suppress switching surges. Besides, by storing surge energy in the proposed active LC snubber and then releasing it to the flyback auxiliary output, the converter can achieve high efficiency. For a forward converter with flyback auxiliary output,91.02%,the maximum output efficiency, can be achieved. For the SR forward converter with active LC snubber, 93.72%, the maximum output efficiency, can be achieved. Experimental results also show that the output efficiency of this converter with the proposed active LC snubber is higher than that of converters with an active clamp snubber.

This thesis proposes a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) inverter with the soft switching for the brushless DC motor (BLDCM) of the electric scooter. This motor drive could reduce switching losses, increase driving and regenerative efficiency. Moreover, this system could obtain some advantages, such as low cost and high efficiency which the capacitance is easily designed in the switched capacitor snubber. In the switching control method of this motor driver, a bidirectional conduction of inverter is used to match the relationship of the three-phase voltage of BLDCM, besides, the each internal winding of the BLDCM could be operated in a inductor. Thus a boost circuit is made up of the inductors, the MOSFET power switches, the motor electromotive force (EMF) and the input DC source. By this switching control approach, a reverse torque could be resulted in the electric brake that transfers the braking kinetic into the electric energy to the battery, thus the driving range of EV could be increased by this approach. Finally, this thesis uses a hub motor with 48V/750W to build an experimental system and some experimental results are provided to verify the correctness and feasibility of the proposed schemes.

This thesis aims at the analysis of an active-clamping flyback converter. The comparisons between the active-clamping flyback converter and the conventional flyback converters adopting passive snubbers are made. The resonant tank of the active-clamping flyback converter consists of the leakage inductance of the transformer and the parasitic capacitance of the switch. The zero-voltage swtiching can be achieved by adequately design the circuit parameters. The conversion efficiency can thus be raised and the voltage spike on the switch can be reduced. Also the loss distribution is derived. An active-clamping flyback converter with an output rating of 24V/8A/200W is implemented in the lab. The experimental results are closely conformed to the theoretical analysis and the simulations.

The circuit design, simulation, and implementation of a forward converter with LCD snubber are presented in this thesis. The LCD snubber is composed of an inductor, a capacitor and a diode, known as passive and non-dissipative flux reset mechanism for single-ended forward converter. The capacitor of the snubber also resets the energy stored in the leakage inductor and hence, minimizes the spike voltage and reduces the EMI/RFI during the OFF period. The operational principles of the LCD snubber are analyzed in detail during steady state. According to the energy balance at resting resonant mode, a set of non-linear equation is derived and solved using the Newton-Raphson method. The magnetizing current in each breaking point is evaluated and the transformer core excited in the first and the third quadrants of the B-H plane is confirmed. The IsSpice simulation is also applied to verify the accuracy of theoretical analysis. Finally, the prototypes of a forward converter with an input of 48 V, output of 5 V/ 6 A, and switching frequency of 100 kHz has been implemented in the laboratory. In general, good agreement is observed between the theoretical and experimental results.

In this paper, we propose that Multi-objective algorithm and the Taguchi method be employed in the optimal design of a DC-DC converter with an RCD snubber. The RCD snubber is usually used in flyback converter to limit the voltage spikes which are caused by leakage inductance of the transformer. The design considerations of RCD snubber are commonly two objectives: (1) minimize power loss in the snubber ; (2) minimize the voltage spikes across the transistor. But the RCD design consideration for voltage spikes suppression is usually in contradiction with power loss. So we implement the circuit by using optimal trade-off parameters, which results from comparison of pareto solution set of Multi-objective Differential Evolution (MODE), Non-Dominated sort genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) and Multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) methods. Finally, the comparison of the spike voltage and power loss showed the advantages of the optimal circuit design over a non-optimal design .

It has been known that normal switching power supply utilize one or more switches to transform DC from one level to another. When the switch of circuit is turned on or turned off, it has switching power losses. In order to lower volume and weight of converter its frequency needs to be raised for power density. It makes switching power loss of circuit larger than before. The efficiency of system is also reduced when the switching frequency is increased. There is a method to solve this problem. It is a soft switching technique. The paper uses soft switching technique that improves performance of the boost converter by reducing switching power loss. The theoretical results of paper is proved by simulation. The loss is reduced by an active snubber which consists of a rectifier, an inductor, a capacitor, a main switch and an auxiliary switch. The reverse recovery related of the rectifier loss is also reduced by the active snubber.

The power components in the transient state of switching will cause voltage overshoot on the circuit that is particularly serious to the system safty. In this thesis, we use the C++ language to design flyback circuits. It will be easier to design, make compareisons between different designs, and analyze flyback circuits with different specifications by using a computer program. In the analysis of snubber circuit, we simplify the complicated circuit to a equivalent circuit. Then, we use four work steps to derive the equations. Finally, we use Matlab language to perform numerical analyses on the snubber circuit, more understanding about how to control V_d (MAX) was obtained. At the last, we propose the idea of snubber built-in Power IC, and using T-suprem to simulate the device process. Then use Medice to load the devices for circuit simulation, and finally we get the results as expected.

In this dissertation, various integrated AC/DC converters with power factor correction and nondissipative snubber are discussed. A novel integrated AC/DC converter with power factor correction and line-frequency ripple suppression is proposed. And a novel nondissipative snubber integrated with AC/DC converters is also proposed. The proposed topology combines an integrated flyback and forward circuits with a post regulator. The integrated flyback and forward circuits function as two sub-converters that share the total output power. To maintain a high power factor, the flyback circuit delivers the major output power. The post-regulator with fast response to suppress line-frequency ripple controls the output voltage in constant. Therefore the proposed circuit can result in a good performance with fast dynamic response. Without the use of high voltage bulk capacitor or current sensor, the circuit features high power factor and low output line-frequency ripple in discontinuous conduction mode. The input voltage can be varied over the standard testing range (0.8-1.2 p.u.), it is suitable for home or industrial applications. To improve the efficiency of AC/DC converters, especially operating in discontinuous conduction mode, an integrated nondissipative snubber is proposed. By the use of a multi-winding transformer, the novel nondissipative snubber can be integrated with flyback or proposed AC/DC converters. No additional magnetic core, active switching and driver are needed for the proposed integrated nondissipative snubber. Therefore the proposed topology improves the efficiency without over-dimensioning of parts and with very low cost. The theoretical analysis and experimental results are presented.

This thesis presents a proposed forward-flyback converter with the snubber-feedback network for the contactless power supply applications. In order to reduce the component count and volume, the output inductor and transformer are integrated with the proposed magnetic integration technology. Since the contactless power supply has the low conversion efficiency and low load regulation, the snubber-feedback network is applied to overcome these drawbacks. In the snubber-feedback network, an auxiliary winding of the integrated transformer is utilized as both the magnetic-loop voltage feedback and the lossless snubber inductor. A prototype circuit of the 15W forward-flyback power converter is built to verify the performances, such as load regulation, voltage stress on the power switch and efficiency, comparing with conventional one.

A bridgeless isolated SEPIC converter with active-clamp snubber is presented. This converter uses the bridgeless topology to reduce the rectifier diodes and improve the efficiency. The proposed converter is operated on the fixed frequency, and its input current consists of CCM and DCM parts simultaneously. During some parts of the line frequency, the converter is operated in the DCM so it can achieve the high power factor and confirm to the requirement of IEC 61000-3-2 class D. Although the converter is partly operated in the CCM will decrease the power factor, the efficiency can be improved. In addition, the active-clamp topology can achieve the characteristic of zero voltage turn-on for all switches when the converter is in the CCM operation. The main switches in the DCM operation can also achieve the function of zero current turn-on. The proposed converter is verified to be functionally worked by the experimental and simulation results based on the 150W prototype circuit and it also conforms to the requirement of IEC 61000-3-2 class D. Finally, the improved efficiency for the proposed converter can be further verified once the input current consists of the part of the CCM operation.

In this thesis, three kinds of representative snubbers are discussed, including R-C, R-C-D and L-C-D snubbers, respectively. R-C snubber, a dissipative snubber, associating with circuit leakage inductance is to form a R-L-C circuit to eliminate overvoltage and ring wave around the power device so as to suppress ring wave EMI. R-C-D snubber, a dissipative and polarized snubber, acts as a capacitor to prolong the rise time of voltage waveform around the power switch so as to suppress EMI resulted from rise time changed by voltage variation in power regulation. The last L-C-D snubber, a lossless snubber, uses inductor and resonant circuit to prolong rise time of current waveform around the power device, in which the capacitor is used to prolong rise time of the voltage waveform. It is appropriate for suppressing EMI resulted from rise time changed by voltage and current variations in power regulation. The investigation for R-C snubber is appropriate for all kinds of converters about ring wave suppression. R-C-D snubber is appropriate for all kinds of converters about voltage rise time change. L-C-D snubber is appropriate for buck and boost converters about rise time changes of current and voltage. Three kinds of snubbers are respectively applied in PFC, forward and flyback converter topologies by way of mathematics analysis and simulation for achieving a unified relationship between the mentioned snubbers, including waveform comparison and spectrum distribution. In this thesis, experiments for the three kinds of snubber circuits applied in PFC, forward and flyback converters are examined. Their performances are quite close to the theoretical predictions.

In the applications of full bridge, phase shift is a most popular architecture. It has an excellent performance on efficiency thanks to soft-switching, especially in high power high voltage applications. However, whether the secondary side uses synchronous rectification or non-synchronous rectification, it will produce the voltage spike on secondary rectifier switches. The voltage spike increases the voltage stress of rectifier switches. This thesis proposes a new type of buck snubber circuit not only to clamp the voltage spike but also to replace the of clamping diode on the primary side because its temperature will be high in light load and increase the power loss. The buck snubber stores the energy of voltage spike into the capacitor and transfers the energy to output which makes the spike energy recovery. By the way, the voltage stress on rectifier switches was reduced, the rectifier switches can be changed as lower voltage stress with lower turn-on resistance. The efficiency of the system will also be increased. In addition, the thesis will compare the difference of clamping point between the rectifier switch and secondary transformer. Finally, the simulation waveform and measure waveform will be used to prove the feasibility of buck snubber and its improvement of efficiency.

This thesis presents a design of the poultry electric stunner. An interleaving forward converter with a single-capacitor snubber to smooth out switch turn-off transient the drain-source voltage of metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor(MOSFET) switch to reduce turn-off loss is proposed to improve the conversion efficiency. In addition, the converters are operated on the boundary of continuous and discontinuous conduction modes to reduce output current ripple, as compared with the counterparts of conventional converter under full load condition, about 3% higher. As compared with the counterparts of conventional converter topologies, the proposed converters have the merits of less components count, smaller size, and they are easier to implement. The outputs of converter are direct-voltage, and alternating voltage is necessary for the poultry electrical stunner, one full-bridge inverter is added to convert dc to ac. The converters have auto-stunning mechanism, which include over-voltage, over-current and over-temperature protection circuits.

Full-bridge phase-shift converter has the merit of zero-voltage switching (ZVS) which can reduce the switching loss and the high frequency noise interference. However, there will be voltage spike induced on the secondary side synchronous rectification MOSEFTs. This thesis presents the study upon an active snubber circuit which is designed to reduce the spike. This active snubber is compared with the well-known RC and RCD passive snubbers. The stray energy on the secondary-side is restored to the snubber capacitors, then the snubber transfers the stored energy back to the primary-side. Due to the energy retrieval, the active snubber circuit surpasses the passive counterpart on energy efficiency. Besides, the voltage stress on the synchronous rectification MOSFETs is lowered benefited from the spike reduction; the MOSFET conduction resistance i.e. the conduction loss can also be reduced. That is, the power efficiency is further improved by the application of the active snubber.

In this thesis, we apply genetic algorithm and Taguchi method to develop optimal design for combining SEPIC converter and non-isolated high step-up boost converter with RCD snubber. First, genetic algorithms is used to find the parameter values of RCD snubber circuit and then Taguchi method is applied to optimize circuit implementation. In order to alleviates the peak voltage (voltage spikes) caused by switching, therefore we add the RCD snubber circuit. But as an RCD snubber circuit is the cut-off snubber passive lossy, designing the RCD snubber circuit usually needs to consider the two objectives: (1) to reduce the peak voltage on the power switch; (2) minimize power loss in the RCD snubber. After analyzing RCD design, we can know that voltage spikes suppression is usually in contradiction with power loss. Hence, we use optimization algorithms to solve the conflict between the goals and objectives of the problem and make verification. Finally, circuit of optimized design and non-optimized design will be compared and see the effect of the improvement.
