In this paper a modified ZVZCS(zero-voltage/zero-current switching) commutation cell with minimum additional components which provides soft switching at both turn-on and turn-off of main and auxiliary switches as well as diodes in PWM converters is presented. The proposed soft-switching technique is suitable for not only minority but also majority carrier semiconductor devices. The auxiliary switch of the proposed ZVZCS commutation cell is in parallel with the main switch and therefore there is no current stress on the main switch and diode. The operation principles of the proposed ZVZCS commutation cell are theoretically analyzed using the PWM boost converter topology as an example. Theoretical analysis simulation and experimental results verify the validity of the PWM boost converter topology with the proposed ZVZCS commutatioin cell.

This paper studies the commutation phenomenon in the Brushless DC Motor with the trapezoidal BEMF waveform. It is shown that the torque ripple am the speed ripple due to the phase commutation depend on driving sytem, operating speed am load condition. The effects of resistance and BEMF flat width on torque ripple are considered. Speed - torque characteristics of the motor is presented considering the phase commutation. Uncommutating current control method can attenuate the torque ripple in the low speed region, and also minimize the switching loss am switching frequency. In this paper, the commutation phenomena are verified by analytical formulation and simulation.

This paper presents a current control strategy to reduce torque ripple of Brushless DC Motor in commutation period with PWM pattern. The torque ripple is mainly caused by the inequality in the rate of change between rising current and decaying one during commutation. And also it is influenced by the shape of real back EMF. Therefore, in the proposed control strategy, considering real back EMF a compensation voltage is generated to equalize the rate of change in these commutating currents. And then, by providing the compensation voltage in commutation period with PWM pattern, the torque ripple can be reduced. The simulation and experimental results verify that the proposed method can reduce the torque and the current ripples significantly.

The phase controlled rectifier using thyristor is suitable for the high capacity and low-cost system. However, the rectifier output voltage drop is influenced by the grid inductance effect. Supposing the commutation area voltage and current are analyzed, the grid inductance can be estimated using the proposed algorithm. This paper presents the grid inductance estimation method for improved commutation compensation control of the phase controlled rectifier, and the proposed control algorithm effectiveness is verified by simulation.

The commutation and control in matrix converters is more complicated as in voltage source converters. Natural freewheeling paths do not exist and the theoretic absent storage elements result in a direct coupled system of load and line currents as well as voltages. The paper offers an overview about staggered commutation and control policies in matrix converters. Based on the knowledge about load current direction and the signs of the line to line input voltages different multi-step commutation policies were derived. This paper examines the application of that policies in the case of space vector modulation and direct control methods with the focus on the resulting effects to the reference output voltage deviation.

Because of high torque and easiness of speed control, Direct Current(DC) motors are used long time. But, its applications are limited in circumstance and performance, since they contained brush and commutator. The commutation characteristic gives effect to life and performance of DC motor. Naturally, the commutation characteristic analysis is strongly required. In this paper, With the result of finite element analysis. The inductance is calculated each rotor position and applied to the voltage equations coupled with commutation equation. The time derivative term in the differential equation is solved in time difference method. This algorithm was applied to 2-pole shunt DC motor. We considered commutation characteristic by changing contact resistance between brush and commutator segment.

This paper deals with commutation failure of the line-commutated converter high voltage direct current (LCC HVDC) system caused by a three phase fault in the ac power system. An analytic calculation method is proposed to estimate the maximum permissible voltage drop at the LCC HVDC station on various operating point and to assess the area of vulnerability for commutation failure (AOV-CF) in the power system based on the residual phase voltage equation. The concept is extended to multi-infeed HVDC power system as the area of severity for simultaneous commutation failure (AOS-CF). In addition, this paper presents the implementation of a shunt compensator applying to the proposed method. An analysis and simulation have been performed with the IEEE 57 bus sample power system and the Jeju island power system in Korea.

The commutation operation of the current source converter for switched reluctance motor drives is analyzed in this paper. The commutation operation in the current source converter consists of two modes. At turn-off of phase switch, the phase current decreases sinusoidally, and the sum of two phase currents during commutation period is constant. At this time, the capacitor voltage increases quickly with changing polarity and decreases slowly when another phase switches turn on or off. Frequency of step-down DC chopper in the current source converter is low because of the dump such as BJTs and GTOs are possible as phase switches instead of Power MOSFET and IGBTS. They may result in reductions of conduction losses and manufacturing cost in the current source converter comparing to the voltage source converter of SRM.

This study proposes an input filter for a gallium-nitride-based direct matrix converter with a stepless current commutation technique. Various current commutation strategies have been adopted for reliable operation of switches. These strategies are complex to be implemented and require additional components. The stepless current commutation technique is simple to operate but causes overcurrent issues due to the occurrence of short circuit on input sources. In this study, to restrict the short circuit current, we utilized GaN devices with fast switching properties and modified the input filter. The proposed input filter was verified by experimental results of induction motor drive.
