Large-scale power converters consist of series or parallel module combinations. In these modular converter systems, the interleaving technique can be applied to improve capacitor reliability by reducing the ripple of the I/O current in which each module operates as a phase difference. However, when applying the interleaving technique for conventional three-level boost converters, the short-circuit period of the converter can be an obstacle. Such problem is caused by the absence of a low-level inductor of the conventional three-level boost converter. To solve this problem, a three-level boost converter with a low-level inductor is proposed and analyzed to enable interleaved operation. In the proposed circuit, the current ripple of the output capacitor depends on the neutral point connections between the modules. In this study, the ripple current is analyzed by the neutral point connections of the three-level boost converter that has a low-level inductor, and the effectiveness of the proposed circuit is proven by simulation and experiment.

This paper presents an investigation of a voltage and frequency controller for an isolated asynchronous generator (IAG) driven. by a wind turbine and supplying 3-phase 4-wire loads to the isolated areas where a grid is not accessible. The control strategy is based on the indirect current control of the VSC (voltage source converter) using the frequency PI controller. The proposed controller consists of three single-phase IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Junction Transistor) based VSC, which are connected to each phase of the IAG through three single phase transformers and a battery at their DC link. The controller has the capability of controlling reactive and active powers to regulate the magnitude and frequency of the generated voltage, harmonic elimination, load balancing and neutral current compensation. The proposed isolated system is modeled and simulated in MATLAB using Simulink and PSB (Power System Block-set) toolboxes to verify the performance of the controller.

This paper proposes high performance control of light emitting diode(LED) drive system for liquid crystal display(LCD) backlight. The CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent lamp)was used to a conventional LCD backlight. Due to improvement on luminous efficiency, long life and wide color gamut, LED has gradually substituted for CCFL as backlight. The backlight using LED is necessary to use many LED. For that reason, the LED backlight is using a lot of LED driving circuits. The many LED driving circuit is generated a current deviation between LED. Eventually, it is caused brightness deviation between LED. Therefore, this paper improves the current deviation using transformer and balancing capacitor to solve this problem. Also, for accurate and uniform brightness control, this paper is applied the artificial intelligent control to a dimming control. This paper is compared with conventional system, and validity of this paper proves through that result.

This paper proposes an interleaved five-level boost converter based on a switched-capacitor network. The operating principle of the converter under the CCM mode is analyzed. A high voltage gain, low component stress, small input current ripple, and self-balancing function for the capacitor voltages in the switched-capacitor networks are achieved. In addition, a three-loop control strategy including an outer voltage loop, an inner current loop and a voltage-balance loop has been researched to achieve good performances and voltage-balance effect. An experimental study has been done to verify the correctness and feasibility of the proposed converter and control strategy.

Cascaded H-Bridge rectifier (CHBR) is a more attractive solution in traction application for its transformerless structure. Because of the currents of different cells are exactly the same one, it is a challenge job to regulate the voltages of cells with only one current controller. In this paper, a PI-based control scheme is presented to deal with the voltages balance issue in CHBR. To satisfy the demand of rectifier such as unity power factor and regulated output DC voltages, the proposed control scheme consists of two parts. One is for shaping the grid current waveform and regulating the sum of DC-link voltages of all the cells; the other one is for balancing DC-link voltages. The latter is more concerned in this paper and is discussed in detail especially. Simulations and experiments are carried on. The results verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

STATCOM(static synchronous compensator : one of the custom power equipment) can be used for balancing unbalanced loads. Compensation current references are given by the analysis of the unbalanced 3-phase currents. And for detecting negative-sequence components, a digital Butterworth Filter is designed. Finally a negative sequence component of an unbalanced load current is acquired using the digital Butterworth Filter.

본 논문에서는 3D TV를 위한 다채널 전류평형 단일스위치 LED 구동회로를 제안한다. 제안된 구동회로는 각각의 LED 채널의 정전류 제어를 위해 별도의 전력단을 사용하는 대신에 2차 측에 단 1개의 switch를 추가하여 하나의 채널 전류를 정전류 제어하고 나머지 다른 채널의 전류를 캐패시터의 성질을 이용한 회로를 사용함으로써 모든 채널 전류의 정전류 제어 및 전류평형이 가능한 회로이다. 추가된 switch는 ZCS(Zero Current Switching) 동작하므로 스위칭 손실을 최소화하여 고효율화 시킬 수 있다. 또한, 여러 LED 채널의 정전류 제어를 별도의 LED Driver단을 사용하지 않고 캐패시터의 성질을 이용하여 구현하기 때문에 소형화 및 저가격화가 가능하다. 최종적으로 제안된 회로의 우수성과 이론적 분석의 타당성 검증을 위해 46" LED 3D-TV 구동회로를 위한 시작품을 제작하여 고찰된 실험 결과를 제시한다.

As the battery capacity requirement increases, battery cells are connected in a parallel configuration. However, the sharing current of each battery cell becomes unequal due to the imbalance between cell's impedance which results the mismatched states of charge (SOC). The conventional fixed-resistance balancing methods have a limitation in battery equalization performance and system efficiency. This paper proposes a battery equalization method based on dynamic resistance technique, which can improve equalization performance and reduce the loss dissipation. Based on the SOC rate of parallel connected battery cells, the switches in the equalization circuit are controlled to change the equivalent series impedance of the parallel branch, which regulates the current flow to maximize SOC utilization. To verify the method, operations of 4 parallel-connected 18650 Li-ion battery cells with 3.7V-2.6Ah individually are simulated on Matlab/Simulink. The results show that the SOCs are balanced within 1% difference with less power dissipation over the conventional method.

본 논문에서 중전압 직류 시스템(MVDC)의 적용을 위한 초전도 한류기(SFCL)의 설계 최적화를 위한 시뮬레이션 결과를 검증한다. 신재생 에너지의 증가와 계통 연계의 관점에 있어서, 기존의 송전망이나 배전망이 아닌 신재생 에너지망의 에너지 밸런싱을 위한 중전압 시스템이 연구 개발 실증 중에 있다. 특히 DC 배전망의 고장 전류는 빠른 시간 내에 큰 고장 전류를 차단해야 하기 때문에 초전도 한류기와 같은 전류 제한 시스템은 직류 차단기의 동작에 많은 이점이 있다. 이러한 초전도 한류기의 개발에 있어 시제작 및 평가 전에 유한 요소 해석(FEM)과 장시간의 설계 과정을 거쳐야 한다. 이러한 설계과정에서의 시간을 줄이기 위해 차원축소모델(ROM)을 활용하여 설계 결과를 학습하고 유한요소 해석 설계 결과와 동일한 결과를 검증함으로 기존 공학 모델의 제작 및 양산 등의 설계 시뮬레이션을 최적화하는 것 적용할 수 있다.

This paper presents the analysis of series active power filter for reactive power compensation, load balancing, harmonic elimination, and neutral current eradication in three-phase four-wire power systems. Generally, the three-phase four-wire system is widely employed in distributing electric energy to several office building and manufacturing plants. In such systems, the third harmonic and its 3rd harmonics are termed as triple and zero sequence components that do not cancel each other in the system neutral. Consequently, the triple harmonics add together creating a primary source of excessive neutral current. Regarding this concern, this paper presents a new control algorithm for a series hybrid active system, whereas the control approach it adopts directly influence its compensation characteristics. Hence, the advantage of this control algorithm is the direct extraction of compensation voltage reference without phase transformations and multiplying harmonic current value by gain and the required rating of the series active filter is much smaller than that of a conventional shunt active power filter. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm, experiments have been carried out.
