In the context of increasing electric energy consumption in a data center, energy efficiency improvement is strongly emphasized. In a data center, electric energy is largely consumed by DC power supply system, which is based on a rectifier composed by multiple parallel converters. Therefore, rectifier efficiency must be improved for minimizing loss of DC power supply system. Rectifier efficiency can be modulated by load allocation to converters because converter efficiency depends on input AC power. In this paper, we propose a new control method to maximize rectifier efficiency. The method can control load allocation to converters by introducing active power converter control scheme and start-and-stop of converters. In order to illustrate optimal load allocations in a rectifier, a maximization problem of rectifier efficiency is formulated as a nonlinear optimization one. The problem is solved by Lagrangian relaxation method and the computation results provide the validity of proposed method.

This study proposes a finite-state model predictive controller to regulate the load current and balance the DC-link capacitor voltages of a four-leg neutral-point-clamped converter. The discrete-time model of the converter, DC-link, inductive filter, and load is used to predict the future behavior of the load currents and the DC-link capacitor voltages for all possible switching states. The switching state that minimizes the cost function is selected and directly applied to the converter. The cost function is defined to minimize the error between the predicted load currents and their references, as well as to balance the DC-link capacitor voltages. Moreover, the current regulation performance is improved by using a two-step prediction horizon. The feasibility of the proposed predictive control scheme for different references and loads is verified through real-time implementation on the basis of dSPACEDS1103.

In recent years, as the demand for distributed power has increased, the need for microgrids connected to grid power and renewable power generation sources has emerged. In the case of DC microgrids, reactive power does not occur, and power conversion losses are reduced compared to AC when connecting to the load and power grid[2]. With the revitalization of the DC distribution network industry, various studies and demonstrations of DC microgrids have been carried out. In the case of the recent unit distribution, its stability and effectiveness have been verified through empirical and research analysis. However, there is a lack of empirical tests to prevent chain accidents for the protection of the power grid circuits and the misoperation of the distributed power system caused by individual accidents when connecting various distributed power sources and power grids. In this paper, the operation plan of a stable multi-circuit DC distribution connection for the demonstration site was verified through the protection cooperation and operation algorithm for the stable linkage management of the DC distribution network composed of such a multi-circuit.

A new ZVS-CV PWM converter with power factor correction (PFC) function is presented in this paper. The new topology is a integration of a boost converter and a ZVS-CV topology in a single power conversion stage. The new converter can be regulated in pulse-width modulation (PWM) by universal integrated control circuits. Some design considerations are given in detail. A laboratory prototype has been implemented to show the feasibility of the approach and the analysis.

A large number of soft switching topologies included a resonant circuit have been proposed. But these circuits increase number of switch in circuit and complicate sequence of switching operation. In this Paper, the authors propose power conversion system, DC-AC inverter of high efficiency and high power factor with soft switching mode by partial resonant method. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of system is high. And the snubber condenser used in partial resonant circuit makes charging energy regenerated at input power source for resonant operation.

Back-to Back HVDC 방식을 사용한 비동기 계통연계 기술은 고조파 발생, 높은 비용 및 낮은 확장성의 문제를 가지고 있으며, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 회전형 변압기를 이용한 비동기 계통 연계 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 회전형 변압기의 인덕턴스 성분으로 인한 무효전력이 발생되고 별도의 무효전력 보상설비의 추가 설치에 대한 문제가 필연적으로 발생된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 회전형 변압기를 사용한 비동기 계통 연계 시스템의 필수요소인 정류용 AC-DC 컨버터를 유효전력 공급뿐만 아니라 무효전력을 보상할 수 있도록 설계함으로서 기존의 회전형 변압기의 무효전력 보상 문제를 해결하고자 하며, 제안된 방식은 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능을 검증하였다.

In two-stage single-phase inverters, inherent double line frequency component is present at both input and output of the front-end converter. Generally large electrolytic capacitors are required to eliminate the ripple. It is well known that the low frequency ripple shortens the lifespan of the capacitor hence the system reliability. However, the ripple can hardly be eliminated without the hardware combined with an energy storage device or a certain control algorithm. In this paper, a novel power-decoupling control method is proposed to eliminate the double line frequency ripple at the front-end converter of the DC/AC power conversion system. The proposed control algorithm is composed of two loop, ripple rejection loop and average voltage control loop and no extra hardware is required. In addition, it does not require any information from the phase-locked-loop (PLL) of the inverter and hence it is independent of the inverter control. In order to prove the validity and feasibility of the proposed algorithm a 5kW Dual Active Bridge DC/DC converter and a single-phase inverter are implemented, and experimental results are presented.
