Abstract

In this paper, the implementation of proposed Automatic Load Balanced (ALB) PWM generation method is discussed. The conventional PWM generation method for cascade type H-bridge PWM converter causes the unbalance between each H-bridge converter, therefore the complex redundancy is required for the balancing of switching load of each converter, it consumes more computing power of controller. The ALB PWM method needs no additional switching redundancy for balancing, this paper discusses the implementation of ALB-PWM.

본 논문에서는 스마트그리드의 핵심 설비 중 하나인 반도체 응용 고주파 변압의 개발을 위한 PWM 컨버터의 PWM 생성 방식과 그 구현에 관한 논문으로, H-bridge의 cascade 방식으로 구성된 PWM 컨버터의 경우 각 H-bridge간의 전압 balancing이 항상 이슈로 대두되는 바, 이러한 불균형은 대부분의 경우 각 H-bridge에 부가되는 스위칭 부하가 각각 균형적으로 분포되는 것이 불가능하기 때문에 발생하는 것으로 이를 해결하기 위해 종래의 경우 스위칭 패턴에 복잡한 리던던시를 추가하여 해결 하였으나, 본 논문에서 적용하는 방법은 이러한 리던던시가 불필요해 제어기의 부담을 저감할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 자동부하분담 PWM 방식(ALB-PWM)의 실 구현에 관하여 논하였다.
