The winding structure including a Faraday shield between the primary and secondary windings is designed to minimize eddy current losses, skin and proximity effects, and to reduce the leakage inductance, and the inter winding coupling capacitance. Finite Element Method is employed to analyze the magnetic flux and eddy current distributions. The two different kinds of prototype high frequency transformers are designed and tested. The simulation and experiment results are demonstrated and compared with non-shielded transformers. The shielded transformers have achieved the expected results with a relatively small coupling capacitance, compared with the conventional high frequency transformer. This shield decreases the inter-winding coupling capacitance Cps. The topology of this shield has to be such that it acts as a Faraday screen while avoiding eddy current generation.展开更多

Estimated state-space variables are output voltage of the converter and its first derivative, which are suitable for model reference adaptive controllers and sliding mode controllers design. Estimator is designed for operation in continuous and discontinuous conduction modes. The simulation results show that proposed FOS estimator provides good estimation of state-space variables despite the voltage ripple caused by high frequency switching in converter and disturbances （change of load and input voltage）.展开更多
