Book Description
This dissertation presents several concepts and techniques in order to (1) increase the inductance density and power density of power inductors (PIs) with high power efficiency and (2) achieve magnetically coupled wireless power transfer (WPT) systems with higher efficiency and longer transmission distances under varying conditions. Chapter 1 provides an overview and introduction on applications of power magnetic devices and systems along with the challenges facing the state-of-the-art PIs and WPT systems. Chapter 2 develops a concept which results in doubling the saturation current of a high current PI with NdFeB permanent magnet (PMPI). By adding a well-designed small piece of fabricated NdFeB magnet in the air gap of the PI, the saturation current of the PMPI is doubled with the same size and inductance value. Chapter 3 presents a two-phase coupled power inductor (CPI) that utilizes a PM in order to achieve almost doubled saturation current with the same size compared to the CPI and more than 70% core size reduction compared to the single-phase non-coupled PIs. Both the PMPI and PMCI concepts are experimentally verified in DC-DC power converter prototypes. Chapter 4 and 5 present a two-coil and a four-coil reconfigurable WPT system topology, respectively, in order to optimize transmission efficiency under different distance and misalignment conditions. The two-coil reconfigurable WPT system achieves re-configurability by switching between different values of series and shunt capacitors at Tx side and/or Rx side. The four-coil reconfigurable WPT system achieves re-configurability by switching between different sizes of drive loops and load loops. Experimental results verified effectiveness of developed reconfiguration methods. Chapter 6 presents a method to achieve wired power conversion and WPT using a hybrid “Power Converter-WPT system”. By achieving WPT using AC switching ripple of power converter, the system eliminates the need for a transmitter stage of conventional WPT system, which could be beneficial for system size and cost reduction. The method is verified and demonstrated using Buck-WPT system as an example. The last chapter summarizes this work and provides conclusions before discussing some possible future research directions related to the dissertation work.

Book Description
With the increasing demand for small and cost efficient DC/DC converters, the power converters are expected to operate with high efficiency. Magnetics components design is one of the biggest challenges in achieving the higher power density and higher efficiency due to the significant portion of magnetics components volume in the whole power system. At the same time, most of the experimental phenomena are related to the magnetics components. So, good magnetics components design is one of the key issues to implement low voltage high current DC/DC converter. Planar technology has many advantages. It has low profile construction, low leakage inductance and inter-winding capacitance, excellent repeatability of parasitic properties, cost efficiency, great reliability, and excellent thermal characteristics. On the other side, however, planar technology also has some disadvantages. Although it improves thermal performance, the planar format increases footprint area. The fact that windings can be placed closer in planar technology to reduce leakage inductance also often has an unwanted effect of increasing parasitic capacitances. In this dissertation, the planar magnetics designs for high current low voltage applications are thoroughly investigated and one CAD design methodology based on FEA numerical analysis is proposed. Because the frequency dependant parasitic parameters of magnetics components are included in the circuit model, the whole circuit analysis is more accurate. When it is implemented correctly, integrated magnetics technique can produce a significant reduction in the magnetic core content number and it can also result in cost efficient designs with less weight and smaller volume. These will increase the whole converter's power density and power efficiency. For high output current and low output voltage applications, half bridge in primary and current doublers in secondary are proved to be a very good solution. Based on this topology, four different integrated magnetics structures are analyzed and compared with each other. One unified model is introduced and implemented in the circuit analysis. A new integrated magnetics component core shape is proposed. All simulation and experimental results verify the integrated magnetics design. There are several new magnetics components applications shown in the dissertation. Active transient voltage compensator is a good solution to the challenging high slew rate load current transient requirement of VRM. The transformer works as an extra voltage source. During the transient periods, the transformer injects or absorbs the extra transient to or from the circuit. A peak current mode controlled integrated magnetics structure is proposed in the dissertation. Two transformers and two inductors are integrated in one core. It can force the two input capacitors of half bridge topology to have the same voltage potential and solve the voltage unbalance issue. The proposed integrated magnetics structure is simple compared with other methods implementing the current mode control to half bridge topology. Circuit analysis, simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility of these applications.

Book Description
Magnetic components are essential parts of power converters. Inductors with magnetic cores are investigated. An eddy current loss model for pot-core inductors is developed with finite elemental analysis (FEA). The reliability of inductors using magnetic cores in a high-temperature environment is investigated. Working in up to 150°C circumstance for a short periods is not destructive for the inductors. Optimization of toroidal inductors in a DC-DC converter is investigated. Parasitic capacitance and the capacitive loss in toroidal inductors are modeled. Standard circuit optimization is performed to explore the energy conversion efficiency of the toroidal inductors. Thermal analysis, light-load efficiency and relative permeability of the toroidal inductor design are also investigated. The toroidal inductor can achieve about 85% efficiency for 3 A DC current and 1 W/mm2 power density. Inductor-only efficiency of toroidal inductors is investigated with revised model. At 100 MHz operating frequency, toroidal inductors can achieve more than 97% inductor efficiency with power density range of 0.7 W/mm2 to 6 W/mm2. The performance of our nanograngular magnetic core is dependent on the angle of the poling magnetic field compared to the field during operation. Experiments on a serious of samples show that the poling angle can deviate by up to 15 degrees from ideal with only a small penalty in performance. The field-angle experiment is intended to prove integrated toroidal inductor process possible. A magnetic fixture model is proposed for large-scale toroidal inductor processing.

Book Description
Emerging applications of power electronics introduce challenging design requirements. Increasing the system complexity in appropriate ways can bring many advantages, yielding reduced system volume and/or improved system performance. This thesis explores new circuit design techniques that can leverage the advantages of merged multi-stage power conversion through a hybrid switched-capacitor/magnetics approach. Multiple circuits and system aspects of this approach are investigated in this thesis. A 70 W grid-interfaced solar micro-inverter with a multilevel energy buffer and voltage modulator (MEB) is developed to demonstrate the advantages of a merged multi-stage system in dc-ac applications. By synthesizing a multilevel voltage in pace with the ac grid voltage using the energy buffer, the wide operation range of the inverter stage is compressed, leading to a significantly improved overall system performance. A high-power-density wide-input-voltage-range isolated dc-dc converter with a Multi- Track power conversion architecture is also investigated. The MultiTrack architecture delivers power in multiple voltage domains and current tracks. It incorporates multiple distributed circuit cells, and benefits from the way they are merged together. By changing the use of multiple cells according to the system operating condition, the overall device utilization of the system is enhanced, leading to significantly improved power density as compared to conventional designs while maintaining high efficiency. The prototype 18 V-80 V input, 5 V output, 75 W isolated dc-dc converter achieves 453.7 W/inch3 power density, which is 3x higher than the best commercial product presently available. It maintains high efficiency across a wide (>4:1) input voltage range, and has a peak efficiency of 91.3%. Advanced magnetics structures are an enabling technique on the path to improved power conversion. This thesis developed a systematic approach to modeling impedances and current distribution in planar magnetics. It captures electromagnetic coupling relationships using an analytical lumped circuit model, and enables rapid evaluation of planar magnetics designs. The effectiveness of the model is verified by numerical methods and experimental measurements. A software package - M2Spice - that can rapidly convert design information into SPICE netlists has been developed and is being utilized in many real designs.

Book Description
This book presents concepts in magnetics that are applicable to electronic power conversion, emphasizing conceptual clarification and refinement through optimized magnetics design. New insights are presented that simplify design while covering the essential topics. Theoretical development of design formulas from fundamental principles provide in-depth understanding of what they are and where they came from. Some emphases of this book are new or not yet widely disseminated, such as the importance of waveform ripple factor and how core materials have optimum ripple-factor values. New criteria are presented for maximizing the transfer power of the core, driving it to both its power-loss and saturation limits, and the circuit limitations this imposes. Optimized winding design maximizes power transfer (efficiency) at the optimal ratio of core and winding resistance. Winding geometry applies winding area or strand-number constraints to the eddy-current effects in Dowell's equation to result in magnetic operating-points more comprehensively optimized than the area-product or Kg methods, and oriented toward use of a calculator, wire table, core data, design formulas, and eddy-current graphs or formulas. Topics not usually developed or emphasized in magnetics textbooks include field and circuit referral of magnetic quantities, accurate derivation of winding length for toroids, a worst-case thermal sphere-based model of core power-loss density modified by core thermal shape factors, interwinding capacitance approximations, optimal turns for maximum magnetic power density, and design formulas derived for optimal winding design. Multifilar unibundle windings and their benefits over sequential windings are derived and demonstrated. Depth of presentation is adequate for a design mastery of the subject while pointing the reader to additional topics in landmark research papers and academic textbooks. Detailed procedures and design examples complete the book.
