Abstract

AC to DC converter that consists of relatively simple diode rectifier devices has been widely used in the field of the electric propulsion system. Also, since this rectifier includes large harmonics in the input current, a variety of researches have been developed to reduce the harmonics. The proposed method of this paper is to reduce the harmonics included in the input current of rectifiers and propulsion motor by injecting the output current of diode rectifier into the input of them. In addition, the proposed method ensures electrical safety through the respective isolation of the injection current, the source, and the loads using the Wye-Delta insulating transformer applied in current injection device that is installed in the input circuit of rectifiers and propulsion motor. The proposed method is simulated by applying to the electric propulsion ship that is currently operating. We confirm the validity of the proposed method compared with conventional power conversion system.

전기추진시스템 분야에서 AC/DC 컨버터는 상대적으로 간단한 다이오드 소자를 이용하는 정류기가 가장 널리 사용되고 있으며 이 정류기는 입력 전류에 큰 고조파를 포함하고 있어서 고조파 저감을 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방식은 다이오드 정류기의 출력 전류를 정류기와 추진전동기 입력측에 주입하여 정류기와 추진전동기 입력 전류에 포함되는 고조파 성분을 줄이고 또한, 와이-델타 변압기를 정류기 및 추진전동기 입력회로에 설치되는 전류주입장치의 분배회로에 사용하여 주입전류와 전원 및 부하를 서로 절연함으로써 전류파형 개선과 전기적 안전성을 확보하였다. 제안한 방법을 현재 사용 중인 전기추진선박에서 적용하여 시뮬레이션 하였으며 기존의 전력변환장치와 비교하여 그 타당성을 입증하였다.
