본 논문에서는 가변속 교류 전동기 구동에 많이 사용되는 3상 ac/dc/ac PWM 컨버터 시스템에서의 직류링크 리플전류를 주파수 영역에서 해석하고자 한다. 고조파 전류는 컨버터의 스위칭함수와 지수함수 형태의 퓨리에 급수 전개를 이용하여 분석된다. 전원측 컨버터와 부하측 인버터의 스위칭 주기간의 변위각과 비동기 PW이 리플전류에 미치는 영향도 고찰된다. 해석 결과가 PSIM을 이용한 시뮬레이션으로부터 나온 고조파 스펙트럼과 잘 일치함을 확인한다 제시된 해석기법은 PWM의 원리에 대한 이해를 돕고, 해석 결과는 직류링크 커패시터의 고주파 등가 모델링에 이용된다.

A photovoltaic power conditioning system (PV PCS) that contains single-phase dc/ac inverters tends to draw an ac ripple current at twice the output frequency. Such a ripple current perturbs the operating points of solar cells continuously and it may reduce the efficiency of the current based maximum power point tracking technique (CMPPT). In this paper, the ripple current generation in a dc link and boost inductor is analyzed using the ac equivalent circuit of a dc/dc boost converter. A new feed-forward ripple current compensation method to incorporate a current control loop into a dc/dc converter for ripple reduction is proposed. The proposed feed-forward compensation method is verified by simulation and experimental results. These results show a 41.8 % reduction in the peak-to peak ac ripple. In addition, the dc/ac inverter control system uses an automatic voltage regulation (AVR) function to mitigate the ac ripple voltage effect in the dc link. A 3kW PV PCS prototype has been built and its experimental results are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes an active-clamp ac-dc converter with direct power conversion that has a simple structure and achieves high efficiency. The proposed converter is derived by integrating the step-down ac chopper and the output-voltage doubler. The proposed converter provides direct ac-dc conversion and dc output voltage without using any full-bridge diode rectifier. The step-down ac chopper using an active-clamp mechanism serves to clamp the voltage spike across the main switches and provides zero-voltage turn-on switching. The resonant-current path formed by the leakage inductance of the transformer and the resonant capacitor of the output-voltage doubler achieves the zero-current turn-off switching of the output diodes. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and verified. A 500W prototype is implemented to show the performance of the proposed converter. The prototype provides maximum efficiency of 95.1% at the full load.

직류진원 장치의 부하에 단락이 발생하는 경우 직류전원을 부하로부터 신속히 차단하고 재인가 가능한 새로운 방식의 ac/dc 컨버터를 제안하였다. 제안한 방식의 컨버터 출력전윈은 부하단락시 차단 및 정상상태로 회복시 직류전원을 재인가하여 정격출력전압으로 확립되는데 소요되는 시간이 각각 수백 $\mu\textrm{s}$ 이내에 이루어지는 특징이 있다. 또한 컨버터 출력필터 커패시터는 부하가 단락된 상태에서도 방전하지 않고 거의 정격출력전압을 유지할 수 있으므로 직류전원을 단락상태가 소멸된 정상부하에 재인가시 전압의 오버슈트 없이 신속한 부하전압 확립이 가능하다. 제안한 방식의 컨버터는 기존 방식에 비해 구조가 간단하고 소형경량화 가능한 장점이 있다. 제안한 회로방식에 대한 동작원리 설명 및 특성해석을 하였으며 실험을 통하여 그 유용성을 입증하였다.

This paper presents the single-stage high power factor AC to DC converter operated in active-clamp mode. The proposed converter is added active-clamping circuit to boost-flyback single-stage power factor corrected power supply. The active-clamping circuit limits voltage spikes, recycles the energy trapped in the leakage inductance, and provides a mechanism for achieving soft switching of the electronic switches to reduce the switching loss. The auxiliary switch of active-clamping circuit uses the same control and driver circuit as the main switch to reduce the additional cost and size. To verify the performance of the proposed converter, a 100W converter has been designed. The proposed converter gives good power factor correction, low line current harmonic distortions, and tight output voltage regulation, as used unity power factor.

본 논문에서는 220 V의 AC 전원을 공급받아 13.56 MHz의 RF 신호를 출력하는 고효율, 고출력 Class E 전력송신기를 설계하였다. 송신기는 AC-DC 변환기와 class E 전력 증폭기로 구성된다. 설계된 AC-DC 변환기는 220V/60 Hz의 가정용 전원을 공급 받아서 약 290 V의 DC 전압을 출력한다. 이때, AC-DC 변환기는 98.03 %의 매우 높은 변환 효율을 가진다. 변환 효율을 최대로 하기 위하여 별도의 DC-DC 변환기를 사용하지 않고, AC-DC 변환기의 출력 전압을 주 전력 증폭기의 드레인 바이어스 전압으로 사용하였다. 또한, class E 전력 증폭기의 전력손실을 최소화하기 위해 high-Q 인덕터를 제작하였다. 측정 결과, 13.56 MHz에서 동작하는 class E 전력 증폭기는 최대 출력 전력 323.6 Watt에서 84.2 %의 PAE(Power-Added Efficiency)를 가진다. AC-DC 변환기를 포함한 class E 전력 송신기는 323.6 Watt에서 82.87 %의 매우 높은 효율 특성을 나타낸다.

This paper proposes a three-phase single-stage AC-DC converter for the small wind generation system. Input power factor improvement and insulated output can be implemented with the proposed three-phase single-stage AC-DC converter under the wide power generation voltage (80-260 V_ac) and frequency (10-42 Hz) in a small wind power generation (WPG) system. The proposed converter is also capable of zero-voltage switching in the primary-side switches and zero-current switching in the secondary-side diodes by phase-shift control at a fixed switching frequency. In addition, it is possible to control a wide output voltage (V_o: 39 V_DC-60 V_DC) by varying the link voltage and improving the input power factor (PF) and the total harmonic distortion factor (THD_i). Simulation and experimental results verified the validity of the proposed converter.

In this paper, a new conceptual circuit configuration of a 3-phase voltage source, soft switching AC-DC-AC converter using an IGBT module, which has one ARCPL circuit and one ARDCL circuit, is presented. In actuality, the ARCPL circuit is applied in the 3-phase voltage source rectifier side, and the ARDCL circuit is in the inverter side. And more, each power semiconductor device has a novel clamp snubber circuit, which can save the power semiconductor device from voltage and current across each power device. The proposed soft switching circuits have only two active power semiconductor devices. These ARCPL and ARDCL circuits consist of fewer parts than the conventional soft switching circuit. Furthermore, the proposed 3-phase voltage source soft switching AC-DC-AC power conversion system needs no additional sensor for complete soft switching as compared with the conventional 3-phase voltage source AC-DC-AC power conversion system. In addition to this, these soft switching circuits operate only once in one sampling term. Therefore, the power conversion efficiency of the proposed AC-DC-AC converter system will get higher than a conventional soft switching converter system because of the reduced ARCPL and ARDCL circuit losses. The operation timing and terms for ARDCL and ARCPL circuits are calculated and controlled by the smoothing DC capacitor voltage and the output AC current. Using this control, the loss of the soft switching circuits are reduced owing to reduced resonant inductor current in ARCPL and ARDCL circuits as compared with the conventional controlled soft switching power conversion system. The operating performances of proposed soft switching AC-DC-AC converter treated here are evaluated on the basis of experimental results in a 50kVA setup in this paper. As a result of experiment on the 50kVA system, it was confirmed that the proposed circuit could reduce conduction noise below 10 MHz and improve the conversion efficiency from 88. 5% to 90.5%, when compared with the hard switching circuit.

This paper proposes a new single-phase power converter topology for changing the frequency of AC voltage. The proposed single-phase frequency converter (SFC) includes a T-type multi-level power converter (TMPC), a frequency decoupling transformer (FDT) and a digital signal processor (DSP). The TMPC can convert a 60 Hz AC voltage to a DC voltage and then convert the DC voltage to a 50 Hz AC voltage. Therefore, the output currents of the two T-type power switch arms have 50 Hz and 60 Hz components. The FDT is used to decouple the 50 Hz and 60 Hz components. The salient feature of the proposed SFC is that only one power electronic converter stage is used since the functions of the AC-DC and DC-AC power conversions are integrated into the TMPC. Therefore, the proposed SFC can simplify both the power circuit and the control circuit. In order to verify the functions of the proposed SFC, a hardware prototype is established. Experimental results verify that the performance of the proposed SFC is as expected.
