Seminar 2
Multi-Kilowatt Flyback Converters; Advantages and Practical Design ConsiderationsBruce Carsten, Bruce Carsten Associates, USA
About the instructorBruce Carsten has 46 years of experience in the design and de-velopment of switchmode power converters from 100 mW to 10 kW and 20 kHz to 1 MHz. Although his specialities have become HF magnetics and design for low EMI, his background covers all aspects of switchmode design, from new control methodologies to new topologies, including the active clamp forward converter. He has authored or co-authored 59 papers, and has 17 patents.
Contents
Flyback converters are commonly considered to be of low performance, suit-able only for low power levels where circuit simplicity is important. This is not the case; I have shown that flyback converters are fundamentally similar to forward converters in nearly all aspects, but are actually superior in the utiliza-tion of the power magnetics.
All efficient regulating power converters require an inductor, and all isolated converters also require a transformer. In the flyback converter these are uniquely integrated into a single device, which is smaller, lighter and more ef-ficient than separate transformers and indictors, even compared to other inte-grated magnetic structures.
As a buck-boost topology, flyback converters excel at working over a wide range of input and/or output voltages. They can function well as isolated ac input power factor corrected (PFC) converters, and as such are finding increas-ing use in LED luminaires up to a few 100 watts. This concept has been ex-tended to a 4.5 kW, 50 kHz PFC converter, with 95% efficiency over a wide load range (despite a dissipative voltage clamp), utilizing SiC FETs and Schottky rectifiers.
Flyback converters do have some potential disadvantages, including: pulsating input and output currents; a RHP zero in the control function; and the need to deal with the leakage inductance energy stored in the transformer. As with other basic single stage PFC converters, there is also a twice line frequency ripple on the output voltage, although in 3 phase applications this issue iseasily overcome.
Much of the seminar will deal with solutions to problems in utilizing an exist-ing PFC flyback controller at power levels well beyond the intended applica-tion. The pulsating input and output currents are best dealt with interleaved converters, which require that the controllers be synchronized to a master po-ly-phase clock, and also must be able to share current. All problems encoun-tered and their solutions will be presented, including: noise sensitivity of IC controllers; the slow control loop required of PFC controllers which allows the output voltage to overshoot dramatically on startup and load removal, and in-convenient „features“ built into the controllers which need to be overcome.
Who should attend?This seminar is intended for design engineers who have a potential interest in extending the application of the simple flyback converter to high power levels, but who also want to avoid many of the pitfalls that can occur.

Seminar 3
What a Design Engineer Should Know About Current-Mode ControlRichard Redl, Redl Consulting, Switzerland
About the instructorDr. Redl is a power-electronics consultant in Switzerland, specializ-ing in power supplies, UPSs, inverters, electronic ballasts, battery chargers and battery management systems, and integrated circuits for power management. He holds twenty-two patents, has written over hundred technical papers and three book chapters, and co-au-thored a book on the dynamic analysis of power converters.
Contents
Current-mode control was introduced in the 1960s and over the years it has be-come one of the most popular control techniques for dc-dc converters. The reason for this is that it has many advantages, including simplified compensation of the feedback loop, increased stability and robustness, inherent pulse-by-pulse current limiting, reduced sensitivity to variations in the input voltage and to circuit pa-rameter values, and easy load-current feedforward for superior load transient re-sponse. It has several flavors to choose from and unlike some other two-loop control techniques (V2, R3) it can be used with all types of square-wave converters. The concept can also be extended to resonant converters, e.g., the LLC converter. This seminar presents an overview and critical comparison of the various cur-rent-mode control techniques, discusses the latest developments in modeling and stability analysis, and provides design guidelines.
The following topics will be covered: 1. Introduction 1.1. Basic concept of current-mode control 1.2. Advantages and disadvantages 1.3. History 2. Classification and characteristics 2.1. Constant-frequency control (peak, valley, PWM conductance) 2.1.1. Stability of the current loop 2.2. Variable-frequency control (constant-off-time, constant-on-time, hysteretic) 2.3. Derivatives and improvements (average-current control, charge control, inductor-voltage-integral control, emulated current control, line-voltage and load-current feedforward combined with current-mode control, capacitor-current control, combining current-mode control with ripple- based voltage-mode control) 3. Large-signal and small-signal modeling, feedback-loop design, high- frequency stability analysis 3.1. Simplified large-signal model 3.2. The Ridley model (large-signal, small-signal) 3.2.1. Z-transform based analysis of the current loop 3.3. Describing function analysis and small-signal model by Li and Lee 3.4. Feedback-loop design considerations 3.5. Harmonic balance based fast-scale stability analysis of the feedback- regulated current-mode-controlled converters by Fang and Redl (fre- quency shift of the hysteretic converter, period-doubling instability of the constant-on-time, constant-off-time or constant-frequency converters) 4. Practical issues 4.1. Current-sensing solutions (switch current, diode/synchronous rectifier current, inductor current, capacitor current) 4.2. Using the current loop for current limiting 4.3. Feedback-loop design for droop 4.4. Current-mode control of multi-phase converters
Who should attend?The target audience of this seminar is power-supply design engineers, power-management IC designers, system designers, project managers, engineering students, and all other profession-als interested in the theory and application of current-mode control of dc-dc converters.

This seminar will present a comprehensive overview of the modern magnetic technologies presently used in power conversion and new trends in magnetic technologies developed to address the new demands. In the quest for higher power densities and higher efficiency, magnetic technologies were forced to adapt. New magnetic structures have been developed as a result. In spite of the significant progress in the semiconductor industry, the magnetics technol-ogy lags behind. Presently, in most of the advanced implementations, the power dissipation in magnetics is the largest percentage of the total power dissipation. The seminar will start by presenting several key characteristics of magnetics such as leakage inductance, stray inductance, inter-winding and in-tra-winding capacitances and their impact in power conversion performance. Methods of measuring and controlling these parasitic elements are also pre-sented. The seminar will present the most suitable magnetic technology for different topologies designed to enhance the efficiency and power density. A chapter is dedicated to quasi-integrated and integrated magnetics. Methods of calculating and simulating such structures will be presented. A particular im-plementation wherein two independent transformers are placed on the same magnetic core without mutual interference, this will highlight the presenta-tion, by offering a better understanding of the flux distribution in the magnetic core. Magnetic technologies for specific applications such as very low voltage and high current will be presented together with experimental results. The seminar will also show some present and future trends in magnetics for higher frequency operation. The presentation will be highlighted with design guid-ance, design example and experimental results.
Who should attend?This seminar is designed for power conversion engineers, magnetic engineers, and technicalmanagers who are involved in state-of-art power conversion. The attendees will get familiarwith the latest advancement in magnetics in power conversion aimed to increase theperformance and reduce the total cost.

Renewable energies will play a major role in future electric energy supply. With the growing portion of renewable energies in relation to conventionalenergy sources in public grids the need for energy storage and grid connected battery systems is also growing. Otherwise smaller off-grid battery systems are known for several years. For grid-tied battery energy systems power elec-tronics are needed to convert the DC power of the battery to AC power and vice versa. These systems coupled to the public grid and have to fulfill the spe-cific grid codes. However, off-grid battery inverters deliver stable, sinusoidal AC Voltage and at the same time high AC currents to trip fuses. In this way, each type of system is characterized by specific requirements which affects the power electronics but also the control strategies. These power electronics aspects and control strategies are in the main focus of this seminar. Require-ment and functionality are derived and solutions are presented as well as one example of a commercially available battery inverter. The seminar discusses also the most important battery types and gives a systematic overview about the different types of battery systems on the market today and in the future.
Who should attend?This seminar is interesting to beginners and advanced participants from university and in-dustry (incl. utilities) as it includes a perfect mixture of different aspects of power electron-ics and control strategies. The seminar comprises theoretical parts on power electronic topologies and control structures as well as practical aspects on design consideration of off-the-shelf inverters for battery applications.

Filter chokes and transformers for high power converters, ranging from hun-dreds to thousands of kW, are commonly one of the most costly and difficult components to design. Desired electrical performance and tight restrictions in weight, volume and cooling represent a challenging compromise for the de-signer. In this seminar he addresses topics from how to specify the compo-nents for outsourcing to how to get deep inside the detailed design itself. References, test results and failure examples from real cases are presented. The seminar will be based on a design case, where the main design problems for each step will be addressed. Analytic, Finite Element Method and Circuit Simulation tools will be used during the design. Losses calculation and mea-suring are treated in detail. Losses produced by the switching high frequency components are often miscalculated resulting in poor thermal performance. High frequency losses curves of laminated magnetic steel are commonly not available from the suppliers, so the designer faces with the need of high fre-quency losses measuring methods. Losses measurement error sources, like low power factor and angle errors, are explained in detail and methods to overcome those issues will be discussed. Additional sources of losses due to winding resistance, skin/proximity effect and fringe flux on the air-gaps will also be addressed. Finally, cooling methods and mechanical design consider-ations for robustness and acoustic noise reduction are discussed.

New Trends in Power Conversion for Very High Efficiencyand High Power DensityIonel Dan Jitaru, Rompower, USA

Presently, we are reaching 99% efficiency in PFC and DC-DC Converters by using the latest technologies, ranging from topology, magnetics and control. The developments in semiconductor technology such as GaN and SiC have en-abled us to further improve the efficiency exceeding the 99% efficiency in some applications. The goal of this seminar is to teach how to increase the ef-ficiency and power density in power converters. The first part of the seminar will identify the loss mechanisms in different power conversion applications. The next chapter will be dedicated to the latest improvements in topologies designed to minimize these loss mechanisms. Soft switching topologies have become popular in many applications in the last thirty years. Though we have such a long tradition in soft switching technologies, some of these topologies, have added too much complexity and their practical use become questionable due to the hardware cost and complexity. The goal is to have a simple and low cost hardware and an intelligent control designed to minimize the losses under different operating conditions. This seminar will present topologies which pro-vide true soft switching. In the true soft switching topologies, the primary switching devices are turning on at zero voltage and the secondary switching devices are turning off at zero current. There is neither ringing nor spikes across any of the switching devices during operation, without the use of any snubbers. These topologies are derived from the classical topologies, such as flyback, boost, two transistor forward, half bridge, and full bridge with some minor modification with the use of intelligent control to obtain true soft switching. A detailed power dissipation analysis in several applications will highlight the need for magnetic optimization. In spite of the significant prog-ress in the semiconductor industry, the magnetics technology lags behind. The seminar will describe the impact of the parasitic elements in the magnetics in optimizing the performance of the power converters. In the quest for 99% effi-ciency the magnetics and the packaging become key factors in efficiency opti-mization. The seminar will present the impact of intelligent power processing in optimizing the efficiency and even in converting a traditional hard switching topology into a soft switching topology. The presentation will be highlighted with many design examples and experimental results such as 99%+ efficiency PFC with power densities above 1000W/in3, and 99% efficiency isolated DC-DC Converter.
Who should attend?This course is designed for power conversion engineers, magnetic engineers, and technicalmanagers who are involved in state-of-art power conversion. The participants will get famil-iar with the latest advancement in magnetics in power conversion aimed to increase the per-formance and reduce the total cost.

The European norms EN61000-3-2 and EN61000-3-12 require that the current harmonics of all line-connected equipment stay below the limits set by those norms. In the case of equipment with a rectifier front end this is usually achieved by adding a power-factor correction (PFC) circuit to the system.

Increasing high frequencies (HF), i.e. with wide bandgap semiconductors, lead to new challenges. The “wiring inductance” issue is dramatically increased. Windings show “parasitic capacitances”. Electric machines suffer insulation breakdowns by HF ringing over voltages.
As a matter of fact, reduced commutations times become smaller than electro-magnetic propagation delays, inside power conversion and intelligent motion systems. Thus conventional “electric circuit” equations do not operate any-more as before. The tutorial shows a new appropriate physical analysis to un-derstand what happens, and make designs without noisy resonances and emissions, over voltages, extra losses. This way, full benefits from new semi-conductors become possible. The tutorial shows 3D distributions of energies and powers, and focus on main phenomena to lead to simpler calculations.

The key to reducing the size of power supplies is high frequency operation and magnetic components can play a critical role. The tutorial begins with the de-sign rules for inductor design and examples of different types of inductors are given. A special example is the inductor in a flyback converter, since it has more than one coil. This is followed by the general design methodology for transformers and many examples from switched mode power supplies and res-onant converters are given. The main focus is placed on modern circuits where non-sinusoidal waveforms are encountered. General rules are established for optimising the design of windings under various excitation and operating con-
ditions. The skin effect and the proximity effect give rise to increased losses in conductors due to the non-uniform distribution of current in the conductors. A new approach to high frequency losses that avoids cumbersome Fourier analy-sis will be presented to optimise the winding design, for non-sinusoidal wave-form encountered in practical power electronics. Core losses for both sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal flux will be covered. This tutorial is based on a textbook authored by the speakers: Transformers and Inductors for Power Electronics: Theory, Design and Applications, Wiley, 2013.
Content: Introduction
The Introduction covers the fundamental concepts of magnetic components that serve to underpin the later sections.
Inductor DesignIn Section I, the design rules for inductor design are established and examples of different types of inductors are given. The single coil inductor, be it in air or with a ferromagnetic core or substrate, is the energy storage device for mag-netic fields. A special example is the inductor in a flyback converter, since it has more than one coil. Examples include: forward, flyback, pushpull and LLC resonant converters; filter chokes.
Transformer DesignSection II deals with the general design methodology for transformers. Partic-ular emphasis is placed on modern circuits where non-sinusoidal waveforms are encountered and power factor calculations for non-sinusoidal waveforms are covered. Examples include: forward, pushpull and resonant converters.
High Frequency DesignThere is an inverse relationship between the size of a transformer and its fre-quency of operation. However, losses increase at high frequency. There is skin effect loss and proximity effect loss in the windings due to the non-uniform distribution of the current in the conductors. The core loss increases due to the eddy currents circulating in the magnetic core and due to hysteresis. General rules are established for optimising the design of windings under various exci-tation and operating conditions. A new approach to high frequency losses that avoid cumbersome Fourier analysis will be presented to optimise the winding design. Losses that result from fringing effect of the magnetic field around an air-gap will be covered. The use of litz wire for mitigating skin and proximity effects will be treated. The application of interleaving to reduce proximity ef-fects will be explained.
Who should attend?This tutorial is of interest to and practising engineers working with power supplies and en-ergy conversion systems; students of electrical engineering and electrical energy systems; graduate students dealing with specialised inductor and transformer design for high fre-quency operation

In many mission-critical applications of energy conversions such as renew-ables, industry, electric vehicles, and aircrafts, etc., power electronics should be extremely reliable and robust to avoid high cost of failures. In order to meet this challenging requirement, there is an ongoing paradigm shift in this field from the statistics-based assessment to the physic-of-failures based analysis. In this shift, the stress and strength models of the power electronics systems need to be accurately built, and both of the factors are closely related to the operating conditions or mission profiles of the whole systems. These mission profiles will involve multi-disciplinary knowledge and new engineering ap-proaches for the design of reliability performances.
In this tutorial, the paradigm shift in reliability research on power electronics as well as some reliability engineering concepts are first introduced. After-wards some basics about reliability engineering are presented, followed by a specific section on abnormal condition testing, and another one on condition monitoring and active thermal control. Based on these results, a series of new modelling and control concepts are given to evaluate/improve the reliability performances of power electronics systems considering mission profiles with several examples on renewable energy and motor drives. Finally, the tutorial will also present the views of the instructors on the future research opportuni-ties in the area of reliability of power electronics. The approaches presented in the tutorial are also the common interest for the companies involved in the Center of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE) at Aalborg University.

From the second half of the 20st century, large facilities for electrical energy storage have been built in the context of matching the variable power demand with installations of large nuclear power stations known for their mostly con-stant power production. More recently, another tendency has appeared with the development of Renewable Energy Sources. From the classical centralized utility of today, a clear movement goes in the direction of distributed utility, to-gether with the appearance of Smart Grids. Renewable energy sources are known by their variation in time, or available power related to meteorology conditions. This is a new motivation for the development and realization of new energy storage techniques. The use of RES, but also the integration of storage devices is mainly achieved with interconnection to electrical systems and need appropriate electric power conversion.

Evolution in Topologies as a Result of New Devices and Enabling Technologies Ionel Dan Jitaru, Rompower, USA
The topic that new topologies may be needed as the progress in semiconductor industry and other enabling technologies are emerging, has been raised with different occasions. In order to make a prediction of such developments we need to look into the evolution of the basic topologies in the last thirty years and analyze the impact introduced by the new semiconduc-tor devices, magnetic technologies and control ICs. Though in the last thirty years no more topologies were introduced, we noticed a clear shift in the “preferred topologies” used by engineers in power conversion. That shift did occur mostly due to the progress in semicon-ductor devices. Another key role was played by the type of applications in power electronics which changed some of the specifications and favored some topologies over others. Recently the availability of digital control has opened the door to intelligent power processing, and al-lowed us, for example, to take a conventional topology and convert it in “soft switching to-pology” without any changes in the hardware. This presentation will look at the progress of some topologies over the years such as flyback topology, forward derived topologies including the two transistors forward, half and full bridge topologies and the changes made in order to further improve the performances. Though some of the “old” topologies were not fundamentally changed, modifications did occur for performance enhancement. As an example, the flyback topology evolved over the years initially through the magnetic optimization, and further through control methodology, wherein in the latest flyback topology the energy contained in all the parasitic elements in harvested and the performances greatly improved, achieving soft switching in primary and secondary with minimum hardware changes. The same does apply for the half bridge and full bridge topology, wherein the latest generation of half bridge and full bridge topologies do have soft switching both in primary and secondary across the synchronous rectifiers and this is done mostly through the intelligent power processing, possible today due to the digi-tal control. Even in the case of two transistor forward topology, one of the most popular to-pology over many years, has recently benefited by some key improvements. The latest two transistor forward topology achieves soft switching both in primary and secondary, with minor hardware changes and through intelligent control. The same evolution is achieved also in the traditional boost converter, which evolved in the latest applications in PFC wherein the efficiency went above 99% mostly due to the GaNs and intelligent control. Though the basic boost topology remained the same, some modifications were introduced to improve the per-formances and convert it into a true soft switching topology. After scanning the improve-ments in the last 30 years in power conversion it is concluded that the traditional topologies were not replaced but they evolved especially in the last ten years due to the introduction of new devices and the availability of intelligent power processing through digital control. The paper will be highlighted with design examples of such improvements of the basic topologies over the years.

Long distance charging solutions for BEVs: from now to 2030Robert Lassartesses, Renault, F
This keynote will describe different charging solutions which are already available for a long-distance drive with a BEV (battery electrical vehicle) today as well as the trends for the future. Pro and contra will be shown. The today trend is to increase the battery and the fix charger power. However, this trend limits the mass market for BEVs. The keynote will show some of these limits on the car point of view (battery cost/packaging/weight, uncertainty on specific material availability and environmental consideration). Game changer as charging during driving could solve these mass market car roadblocks. Charging during driving trans-fers an important investment part from BEV to infrastructure by reducing battery size or in other words transfers investment from the BEVs owners to the public. If we consider that 5000 euros could be saved by reducing the needed battery size and if we consider 30 % EVs to be sold each year, it would represent 3 billion euros investment each year for road infra-structure only for a country like France. In any case, hundreds of billions will be needed though the world to equip the road in coherence with the high number of BEV expected from now to 2030. To insure profit, each investment needs to be secure for a least 10 years. A very good long term common understanding in the system BEV+ charging infrastructure roadmap is needed between partners to insure BEV success. Even today, if the mainstream of the EV industry invests in huge numbers of powerful fix charger (right now from 43 kW AC to DC 350 kW), many solutions could arrive aside the mainstreams to insure possible lack of fix chargers in dedicated areas or specific timeslots (winter vacations…).

The Smart Future of Power Electronics and its ApplicationsHans Krattenmacher, SEW-Eurodrive, D
Power electronic components have been used for decades in devices in the field of electric drives e.g. inverters, power supplies etc. One of the most important devices is the conven-tional frequency inverter which is employed in countless applications of the conveyor technol-ogy, materials handling technology as well as the field of machine automation. The technology and therefore the power electronics have been adjusted, improved, optimized and perfected to fit the applications throughout the years. However, the application itself hardly changed as the main focus lied on making it faster, more efficient and more robust. The scope of Industry 4.0 possibly brings fundamental changes to the manufacturers of these plant automation technologies leading to completely different tasks, ways of thinking and re-quirements and therefore different solutions. The traditional stationary materials handling technology, in which many gearmotors and elec-tronic components are built into, will be replaced by mobile materials handling systems. Based on this knowledge it can be concluded that the product in its current form will no lon-ger be needed in the solutions of tomorrow.The production philosophy for the future SMART Factory will be organized and operated in a completely new way. Power Electronics will remain an enabling technology however the con-verter technology will become “SMART”. SEW as a trendsetter for the future SMART Factory
