  • 최근 멀티레벨 인버터가 high power and medium voltage에서 많이 사용되면서 레벨 증가가 비교적 쉬운 CHB 구조가 많이 사용되고 있다. 멀티레벨 인버터에서 모델 예측 제어를 사용하면 빠른 동특성을 얻을 수 있지만 레벨 증가에 따른 계산량이 급격하게 증가하는 단점을 갖는다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 정상상태에서 기준 전압 벡터의 인근 벡터만 고려하여 계산량을 감소시키고 과도상태에서 최적화 기법을 통한 빠른 동특성을 유지하는 최적 모델 예측 제어를 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 5-level CHB 인버터를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 진행하고 기존 모델 예측 제어와 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능을 비교한다.

  • In this paper an improved low frequency selective harmonic elimination-PWM (SHE-PWM) technique for Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converters is proposed. The proposed method is able to eliminate low order harmonics from the output voltage of the converter for a wide range of modulation indices. To solve SHE-PWM equations, especially for low modulation indices, a modified method is used which employs either the positive or negative voltage polarities of H-bridge cells to increase the freedom degrees of each cell. Freedom degrees of the switching angles are also used to increase the range of available solutions for non-linear SHE equations. The proposed SHE methods can successfully eliminate up to $25^{th}$ harmonic from a 7-level output voltage by using just nine switching transitions or a 150 Hz switching frequency. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, simulation and experimental results have been presented.

  • 최근 전력변환 분야에서 고압 인버터의 요구가 증가함에 따라 국내외 Drive 업체에서 멀티레벨 인버터에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 특히, 현재 LS산전에서 양산되고 있는 Cascaded H-Bridge(이하 CHB) Type의 멀티레벨 인버터와 더불어 1981년 Nabae 교수에 의해 처음 제안된 3-Level Neutral Point Clamped(이하 NPC) Type의 멀티레벨 인버터는 최근 그 성능 및 신뢰성에 대한 검증이 많이 이루어 졌으며 경쟁사인 ABB/YASKAWA/TMEIC사(社) 등에서 실제 제품화가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 LS산전에서 개발중인 3-Level NPC 인버터 기반의 5-Level NPC 인버터의 System 최적화를 위해 양산중인 CHB Type의 멀티레벨 인버터와 그 특성을 비교하여 해당 인버터 개발에 대한 타당성을 검증하였다.

  • A power electronic transformer (PET) based on the cascaded H-bridge (CHB) and the isolated bidirectional DC/DC converter (IBDC) is capable of accommodating a large scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in the medium-voltage grid, and is referred to as a power electronic transformer based battery energy storage system (PET-BESS). This paper investigates the PET-BESS and proposes a coordinative control strategy for it. In the proposed method, the CHB controls the power flow and the battery state-of-charge (SOC) balancing, while the IBDC maintains the dc-link voltages with feedforward implementation of the power reference and the switch status of the CHB. State-feedback and linear quadratic Riccati (LQR) methods have been adopted in the CHB to control the grid current, active power and reactive power. A hybrid PWM modulating method is utilized to achieve SOC balancing, where battery SOC sorting is involved. The feedforward path of the power reference and the CHB switch status substantially reduces the dc-link voltage fluctuations under dynamic power variations. The effectiveness of the proposed control has been verified both by simulation and experimental results. The performance of the PET-BESS under bidirectional power flow has been improved, and the battery SOC values have been adjusted to converge.
