Abstract:In this study, a novel high step-up DC-DC converter was successfully integrated using coupled inductor and switched capacitor techniques. High step-up DC-DC gain was achieved using a coupled inductor when capacitors charged and discharged energy, respectively. In addition, energy was recovered from the leakage inductance of the coupled inductor by using a passive clamp circuit. Therefore, the voltage stress of the main power switch was almost reduced to 1/7 V o (output voltage). Moreover, the coupled inductor alleviated the reverse-recovery problem of the diode. The proposed circuit efficiency can be further improved and high voltage gain can be achieved. The operation principle and steady-state analysis of the proposed converter were discussed. Finally, a hardware prototype circuit with input voltage of 24 V, output voltage of up to 400 V, and maximum power of 150 W was constructed in a laboratory; the maximum efficiency was almost 96.2%.

In Taiwan light source (TLS), Bira’s MCOR30 power converter modules are adopted as the corrector magnet power converters, the output is regulated by analog PWM IC that caused nonlinear behavior at zero cross and the adjustment of compensator for different kind of magnet load is inconvenient. To fulfill digital regulation control, the analog regulation IC of Bira’s MCOR30 is replaced by a fully digital regulation control circuit. With plugging the homemade fully digital regulation control card into MCOR30 that the current sensing component is a shunt that save cost of the power converter, the switching losses and output current ripple were reduced and stability of output current is improved. With the fully digital regulation control circuit, the parameters of the compensator for different magnet load are very easy to adjust. In addition, the feasibility and validity of MOSFET switching algorism is simulated with MATLAB Simulink and the performance of this power converter is verified, the output current ripple of this power converter could be within 10ppm, which is beyond the requirement of current TLS corrector power converter and qualified to be used in the future TPS facility.

Using software builda three-dimension simulation model of theTPS power supplies cable engineering. The civil engineering of TPS (Taiwan Photon Source) will soon be completed. The powersupply cables engineering should be done before the scheduled completion of the civil engineering. To use software (SolidWorks) to build a three-dimensionalcabling simulation model, we obtain detailed cablinginformation because the model is made to scale, 1 to 1. As all components are built into the model of the TPS accelerator, we can build accurately a model of the powersupply cabling project. For example, we can check the position for every cable. We also canestimate every length and the total cable length for purchase and budget control. As we can evaluate the conditions for every power cable to lay the cable tray from the power supply to the magnets, we can lay every cable to follow the sequence in the cable tray. We thereby convert the drawing of the two-dimensional construction graph when we design the finished three-dimensional cabling simulation model. The precise and excellent results are proved in this paper.

We designed and implemented a power converter to provide a dc power bus for the MCOR 12 correction supply. The characteristics of the dc power bus are variable frequency at both heavy and medium or light loads. These characteristics match the working requirement of the correction supply. The dc power bus has a relaxation oscillator that generates a symmetric triangular waveform, to which MOSFET switching is locked. The frequency of this waveform is related to a voltage to be modulated with feedback circuitry. As a result, the circuit and complex transformer are driven with a half-bridge. We designed the complex resonant transformer and describe in this paper a simulation model that is highly important, thus to exploit its frequency-dependent transfer characteristics. We obtained a power bus with small ripple to provide the correction power. The high-performance characteristics of the resonant dc power bus are illustrated in this paper.

The energy conversion and the step-down voltage waveform of apiezo transformer are required to achieve an optimal working condition of the resonant frequency. To fulfill this requirement, a reliable and precise instrument is needed to scan the resonant point of the piezo transformer such that its output power performance can conform to the required specification. This paper describes the design and modeling of a new step-down piezo transformer deployed in NSRRC. This transformer is capable of delivering energy conversion with a highly efficient performance, better than that of a traditional transformer, and the voltage transfer ratio is correct. Use ofa simulation circuit model to develop its driver circuit is included in the design of this new step-down transformer. It has been tested and proved to work satisfactorily in power conversion with excellent efficiency and reliability.
