An isolated feedback method for measuring the inverter DC-link voltage is proposed. This method provides a simple and economical solution to inverter control systems that use a flyback converter as a controller power supply. In the proposed method, data on the DC-link voltage are acquired when the primary side voltage appears on the secondary side of the flyback transformer, thereby eliminating the need to adopt an extra signal isolation method. To solve the non-synchronization problem between the flyback converter switching and main controller sampling, the external interrupt function of the micro-controller is used as a trigger signal for the A/D conversion.

The voltage-source inverters are normally equipped with an electrolytic capacitor in their DC link, however, the electrolytic capacitor has several disadvantages such as increasing size, limiting converter life and reliability. Therefore, several approaches for removing the DC link capacitor have been studied by the authors. This paper proposes a new voltage-source inverter without DC link components. To reduce waveform distortion of the AC source current, the current-controlled PWM-rectifier with di/dt feedback is introduced. The di/dt feedback gain and LC parameters are investigated by calculation for a 0.75kW induction motor driven by this inverter. The calculated AC source currents maintain nearly sinusoidal waveforms with a unity power factor.

A ZVS resonant DC-link inverter using soft switching boost converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed inverter is capable of switching in zero voltage states during the zero-dc-link-voltage period. As a result, the proposed circuit can reduce the switching loss. Operational principles and detailed analysis are presented. Simulation results are also presented to verify the operation principle.

This paper proposes two SRM driving systems using a variable dc-link voltage controlled by a single-phase inverter. Two SRM converter topologies of a half bridge type and a full bridge type are proposed according to the power circuits of an inverter. The phase current can be controlled by means of a PWM controller at the inverter, and the turn-on/off angle at the phase switches can be controlled by a position sensor at the converter in the drive system. The inverter acts as a peak-current limiter if the transient current exceeds its maximum value. SRMs using the proposed topologies maintain high efficiency due to energy regeneration after the turn-off of power switches. The operational modes of the proposed topologies are verified by simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents a new circuit topology of DC busline switch and snubbing capacitor-assisted full-bridge soft-switching PWM inverter type DC-DC power converter with a high frequency link for low voltage large current applications as DC feeding systems, telecommunication power plants, automotive DC bus converters, plasma generator, electro plating plants, fuel cell interfaced power conditioner and arc welding power supplies. The proposed power converter circuit is based upon a voltage source-fed H type full-bridge high frequency PWM inverter with a high frequency transformer link. The conventional type high frequency inverter circuit is modified by adding a single power semiconductor switching device in series with DC rail and snubbing lossless capacitor in parallel with the inverter bridge legs. All the active power switches in the full-bridge inverter arms and DC busline can achieve ZVS/ZVT turn-off and ZCS turn-on commutation operation. Therefore, the total switching losses at turn-off and turn-on switching transitions of these power semiconductor devices can be reduced even in the high switching frequency bands ranging from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. The switching frequency of this DC-DC power converter using IGBT power modules is selected to be 60 kHz. It is proved experimentally by the power loss analysis that the more the switching frequency increases, the more the proposed DC-DC converter can achieve high performance, lighter in weight, lower power losses and miniaturization in size as compared to the conventional hard switching one. The principle of operation, operation modes, practical and inherent effectiveness of this novel DC-DC power converter topology is proved for a low voltage and large current DC-DC power supplies of arc welder applications in industry.

대용량 3상 시스템 에어컨은 최근 들어 소비 전력 저감을 위해 인버터 회로를 포함하고 있다. 인버터 회로는 교류를 다이오드를 통해 정류하고 DC-link 전원부 콘덴서에 의해 평활된 직류를 사용한다. 이 때 평활에 사용되는 DC-link 전원부 콘덴서는 전압 리플, 전류 리플 조건을 만족하기 위해 전해 콘덴서가 일반적으로 사용된다. 콘덴서의 용량을 줄이게 되면 회로부의 크기 및 무게, 비용을 줄일 수 있게 된다. 본 논문에서는 최소점 추정 PPL(Phase Locked Loop) 위상 제어와 평균 전압 d축 전류제어 기법을 조합하여 입력 리플 전류를 약 90% 저감하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 입력 리플 전류의 감소로 인해 DC-link 콘덴서의 전류 리플도 감소하므로 콘덴서의 용량을 줄일 수 있지만 전해 콘덴서의 경우 등가 직렬 저항(ESR : Equivalent Series Resistance)이 크기 때문에 발열로 인한 수명이 한계를 가진다. 본 논문에서는 전해 콘덴서 대신 DC-link 단에 전류 리플을 고려한 필름 콘덴서를 선정하는 방법을 제안한다. 필름 콘데서의 정전 용량 선정, 내압 선정, RMS(Root Mean Square) 전류 용량, RMS 전류 주파수 해석을 고려해 콘덴서의 용량을 선정할 경우 1680uF의 전해 콘덴서를 20uF로 용량을 낮추어 설계함으로써 전원부 콘덴서의 크기 및 무게, 비용을 줄였으며 전동기 구동을 통해 동작을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a voltage compensation method to improve the control performance of B4 inverter which is studied for low-cost drive systems. The B4 inverter employs only four switches and it has a center-tapped connection in the split dc-link capacitors to one phase of a three-phase motor. In the B4 topology unbalan-cd three-phase voltages will be generated by the dc link voltage ripple. To solve this problem we present a voltage compensation method which adjusts switching times considering dc link voltage ripple. The proposed method is verified by simulation results,

A design and control method of DC/DC converter, which can control variable DC-link voltage to drive a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), is proposed in this study. Given that a fuel cell has low-voltage and high-current characteristics, the required voltage for operating motor must be output through the DC/DC boost converter in the system to drive an FCEV. The proposed converter can choose the output voltage of battery or fuel cell in consideration of the driving mode, as well as control DC-link voltage in accordance with the back electromotive force. The switching lag-time to prevent shortage of pulse-width modulation inverter arms makes distorted current waveform caused by voltage distortion. Through this control method, the proposed converter can reduce the output voltage distortion and current ripple of the inverter, thereby reducing the distorted torque. Simulations and experimental results are presented to verify the reliability of the proposed DC/DC converter.
