해상 풍력 발전은 가장 유망한 재생 에너지원의 하나이며, 육상 풍력 발전보다 풍력이 강력하고 일정하여 장시간 고출력 발생이 가능하다. 또한 소음, 공간적 한계, 경관훼손 등 기존 육상 풍력 발전의 단점을 보완하고 초대형 단지조성이 가능한 장점이 있다. 초대형 해상풍력단지에는 일반적으로 MW급의 해상풍력발전기가 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 MW급의 해상 풍력발전기에 ANPC(Active Neutral-Point-Clamped) Multi-Level VSC(Voltage Source Converter)를 적용하여 Back-to-Back으로 구성한 시스템을 제안하고 계통연계형 풍력 발전 시스템을 모의한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 시스템의 성능을 검증한다.

This paper propse the DC link capacitor voltage balancing control for three level neutral point clamped converter with harmonic component injection method. The injcetion voltage consists of harmonic component and DC link capacitor voltage difference. Theoretical analysis is provided to balance the DC link voltage, and it shows that harmonic component compensates the unbalanced condition between the capacitors. Both simulations and experiments are carried out to show that the voltage unbalance have been decreased by the proposed method.

멀티레벨 방식의 Dual Active Bridge 컨버터는 기존의 컨버터와 비교하여 높은 자유도의 스위칭 방식을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 멀티 레벨 방식의 DAB 컨버터의 동작원리를 분석하고, 인덕터 전류의 RMS 값과 THD를 최소화하기 위하여 기본파를 제외한 3 고조파와 5 고조파를 감쇄하는 스위칭 방식을 제안한다. 다양한 스위칭 패턴에 따른 인덕터 전류 RMS 값과 THD를 비교하여 제안하는 스위칭 방식의 타당성을 검증하고자 한다.

This paper proposes a Direct Power Control (DPC) scheme of improved command tracking capability for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) Medium Voltage (MV) Wind Turbines. Benchmarking is performed based on a neutral point clamped three-level back-to-back type voltage source converter. It is introduced to design the DPC modeling and propose DPC scheme of a three-level NPC (3L-NPC) converter. During the fault condition in wind farms, the proposed control scheme directly controls the generated output power to the command value from the hierarchical wind farm controller. The proposed control scheme is compared with conventional control scheme as respect to loss and thermal analysis. The DPC scheme of improved command tracking capability is confirmed through PLECS simulations. Simulation result shows that proposed control scheme achieves a much shorter transient time in a step response of generated output power. The proposed control scheme makes it possible to provide a good dynamic performance for PMSG MV wind turbine to generate a high quality output power under grid fault condition.

This paper discover another boost vectors in high modulation index In steady states, modulation index of converter operation is normally $0.7\~0.8[p.u]$. Even though zero vectors are not imposed, DC-Link voltage is constant because 3-level boost convert has another boost vectors. and this paper proposes the analysis and the comparison for NPC and H-Bridge converter. It proposed the calculation method for the voltage ripple and charging current of each capacitor and deals with voltage balance problems of each link capacitor they are associated with the switching state, the position of reference voltage vector. Simulation and analysis are used in order to prove validity of the proposed methods.

Two AC-DC PWM full-bridge converters that can input current to improve input power factor while performing dc-dc conversion are investigated in this paper. Both converters are simple in that they are similar to the standard PWM full-bridge converter with a diode rectifier/LC low-pass filter input, and both can operate with a simple method of PWM control. In the paper, the operation of the converters is explained and their steady-state characteristics are discussed. The feasibility of the converters and their ability to meet EN61000-3-2 Class D Standards for electrical equipment are shown with results obtained from experimental prototypes. The performance of both converters in terms of dc bus voltage level, input power factor and efficiency is compared and discussed.

Controller for doubly-fed induction-type wind generation system should be designed with mechanical power on blade. The controller in this paper consists of upper level controller and lower level controller. The upper level controller determines operating modes according to mechanical input power and calculates proper reference values. There are 4 operating modes - minimum speed control, variable torque control, torque limit control and idle mode. The lower level controller performs current regulated PWM control of rotor-side converter and grid-side inverter. A wind turbine simulator is implemented using doubly-fed induction-type generator and DSP based back-to-back converter to verify the performance of designed controller experimentally.

This paper presents a direct-conversion I/Q up-mixer block, which supports $3{\sim}5$ GHz ultra-wideband(UWB) applications. It consists of a VI converter, a double-balanced mixer, a RF amplifier, and a differential-to-single signal converter. To achieve wideband characteristics over $3{\sim}5$ GHz frequency range, the double-balanced mixer adopts a shunt-peaking load. The proposed RF amplifier can suppress unwanted common-mode input signals with high linearity. The proposed direct-conversion I/Q up-mixer block is implemented using $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The measured results for three channels show a power gain of $-2{\sim}-9$ dB with a gain flatness of 1dB, a maximum output power level of $-7{\sim}-14.5$ dBm, and a output return loss of more than - 8.8 dB. The current consumption of the fabricated chip is 25.2 mA from a 1.8 V power supply.
