This paper presents a control scheme for a three-phase PWM converter system without any voltage sensors. Two input currents and one load current are measured. In a general PWM converter system, the required AC input and DC output voltage values in order to control the converter are estimated using the differential equations of the converter from the measured input currents and load current values in the switch modes of the converter circuit. The PI controller is used as DC voltage controller and sinusoidal tracking controller which tracks directly AC input current is used as input current controller. The Proposed method is verified by simulations. This paper describes the estimation method and configuration of the controller, and discusses steady state and transient performances of the converter

An interleaved single-stage AC/DC converter with a boost converter and an asymmetrical half-bridge topology is presented to achieve power factor correction, zero voltage switching (ZVS) and load voltage regulation. Asymmetric pulse-width modulation (PWM) is adopted to achieve ZVS turn-on for all of the switches and to increase circuit efficiency. Two ZVS half-bridge converters with interleaved PWM are connected in parallel to reduce the ripple current at input and output sides, to control the output voltage at a desired value and to achieve load current sharing. A center-tapped rectifier is adopted at the secondary side of the transformers to achieve full-wave rectification. The boost converter is operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to automatically draw a sinusoidal line current from an AC source with a high power factor and a low current distortion. Finally, a 240W converter with the proposed topology has been implemented to verify the performance and feasibility of the proposed converter.

This paper proposes the aggregated modeling and control of integated boost-flyback converter (IBFC) for understanding of dynamics characteristic and designing of relevant controller. The basic concept of the aggregated modeling is to substitute the boost or the flyback converter with an equivalent current source. Since each converter with equivalent current source corresponds to the basic boost and flyback converters, the overall mathematical process is significantly simplified for the modeling. Afterwards each result is combined to construct the complete model of the IBFC, and the relevant controller is designed through the achieved small-signal model. Simulation and experimental results show excellent agreement with the theoretical expectations.

In this paper, the operation regions of a three-phase voltage-source PWM converter are defined: linear modulation region, allowed current region, linear control region, unity power-factor region, and power-factor decreasing region. Particularly, the power-factor decreasing region is first examined and defined as the region where both the sinusoidal input current control and the stable DC link voltage regulation can not be obtained with a unity power-factor operation. To avoid these undesirable effects, the optimal current vector is derived, which ensures the sinusoidal input current and the stable DC link voltage regulation with maximum power-factor available, and, in consequence, it extends the operation region of the PWM converter. The validity of the proposed control scheme is proved by the computer simulation.

This paper proposes a new PWM cycloconverter which can step up input voltage. With input reactors ac power supply acts as current source, and with output capacitors the balanced output voltage is build-up. The converter is modeled with fourth order state equation using dq transformation and the steady state characteristics are evaluated. It is shown that the proposed converter can generate the output voltage 2-5 times greater than input voltage. The output voltage and input current have sinusoidal and smooth waveforms and the converter is capable of voltage build-up. The characteristics of the proposed converter is verified simulation and experiment.

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives appear today as viable alternatives to induction and brushless motor drives in a wide range of application such as machine tools, fans, and pumps. This paper deals with a new converter topology which can be used in order converter. The split source type converter consists of minimum switching devices to be used in switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive. In this proposed converter two switches and six diodes are added to split source type converter. The proposed converter has performance minimizes the negative torque, Which puts the phase current off by double impressed voltages. The major advangtage of this converter is the increase of the average output power while improving better converter efficiency in heavy load and high speed than other topologies. The proposed converter system has been implemented using 80C196KB microcontroller and experiments were carried out ot verify the simulation results.

This paper introduces two different types of AC current control methods for an indirect vector controlled induction motor using a matrix converter. The proposed methods combine the advantages of matrix converters with the advantages of the indirect vector AC current control methods. The first proposed method explains the basic idea of the hysteresis current control method for matrix converters and shows its capability and stability in comparison to the conventional method usually used for VSI. With the aid of the special configuration of the matrix converter, we also propose another current method which is modified from the first one in order to reduce both current ripple and torque ripple. Simulation results have verified the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

In this paper, we studied dc leakage current properties analysis of LED lamps of road and landscape lighting when leakage current appeared in dc power line. Generally, converter of LED lighting is divides to insulated type and non-insulated type according to components. When electric leakage happened in AC power line, earth leakage breaker(ELB) senses leakage current and interrupts electric circuit. In dc power source, We need experimental verification about dc electric leakage for electricity safety. In normal wiring conditions and in the water, in case of using insulated type of converter, dc leakage current did not occur. However, in case of using non-insulated type of converter, dc leakage current occurred and passed through into the ground. We found that there is a hazard of electric shock by dc leakage current. We expect that the results of these studies would be helpful for electrical safety of LED lamps for road and landscape lighting.

3상 전압원 PWM 컨버터의 동작 영역을 동기 좌표계의 전류 벡터 평면에서 구분하고 그 특징을 설명하였다. 그 중 감역률 영역에서는 주어진 부하에 해당하는 입력 전류를 단위 역률로 제어하는 경우, 입력 전류는 왜곡되고 DC 링크 전압에는 맥동과 제어 오차가 발생하게 되어 주어진 부하 조건에서는 좋은 제어 성과를 얻을 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하는 최적 전류 벡터를 선정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 최적 전류 벡터의 선정으로 입력 전류를 가능한 최대 역률로서 정현적으로 제어하는 동시에 안정한 DC 링크 전압을 제어할 수 있게 하여 3상 전압원 PWM 컨버터의 동작 영역을 확장시킬 수 있다. 제안된 제어 방법을 실험을 통하여 증명하였다.
