In a utility interactive photovoltaic system, a PWM inverter is used for the connection between the photovoltaic arrays and the utility. The DC current becomes pulsated causes the distortion of the AC current waveform. This paper presents the reduced pulsation of DC input current by operating the inverter with buck-boost chopper in the discontinuous conduction mode. The DC current with contains harmonics component is analyzed by means of separating into two terms of a ripple component and a direct component. The constant DC current without pulsation is supplied from photovoltaic array to the inverter. The proposed inverter system provide a sinusoidal AC current for domestic loads and the utility line with unity power factor.

This paper presents a high-frequency boost type ZVS-PWM chopper-fed DC-DC power converter with a single active auxiliary edge-resonant snubber at the load stage which can be designed for power conditioners such as solar photovoltaic generation, fuel cell generation, battery and super capacitor energy storages. Its principle operation in steady-state is described in addition to a prototype setup. The experimental results of boost type ZVS-PWM chopper proposed here, are evaluated and verified with a practical design model in terms of its switching voltage and current waveforms, the switching v-i trajectory and the temperature performance of IGBT module, the actual power conversion efficiency, and the EMI of radiated and conducted emissions, and then discussed and compared with the hard switching scheme from an experimental point of view. Finally, this paper proposes a practical method to suppress parasitic oscillation due to the active auxiliary resonant switch at ZCS turn-off mode transition with the aid of an additional lossless clamping diode loop, and can be reduced the EMI conducted emission.

계통연계형 태양광발전시스템에서는 계통과 태양광시스템을 연계하기 위해 PWM 인버터가 이용된다. 인버터 시스템을 연속전류모드로 운전하면 맥동이 발생하게 되고, 직류전류의 맥동발생은 교류전류파형의 왜형을 가져온다. 본 연구에서는 직류입력전류의 맥동을 감소시키기 위하여 불연속모드 승강압초퍼로 인버터를 운전한다. 직류 전류에 포함된 고조파성분을 리플성분과 직류성분으로 분리하여 해석하고, 맥동이 없는 일정한 직류전류를 태양 전지로부터 인버터로 공급한다. 제안하는 인버터시스템은 단위 역률로 부하와 계통에 교류전류를 공급한다.

A 30kW electrical power conversion system is developed for a variable speed wind turbine. In the wind energy conversion system(WECS) a synchronous generator with field current excitation converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. As the voltage and the frequency of the generator output vary according to the wind speed, a 6-bridge diode rectifier and a PWM boost chopper is utilized as an ac-dc converter maintaining the constant dc-link voltage with only single switch control. An input current control algorithm for maximum power generation during the variable speed operation is proposed without any usage of speed sensor. Grid connection type PWM inverter converts dc input power to ac output currents into the grid. The active power to the grid is controlled by q-axis current and the reactive power is controlled by d-axis current with appropriate decoupling. The phase angle of utility voltage is detected using software PLL(Phased Locked Loop) in d-q synchronous reference frame. Experimental results from the test of 30kW prototype wind turbine system show that the generator power can be controlled effectively during the variable speed operation without any speed sensor.

DC-DC 컨버터는 각종 산업용, 가정용 기기에 널리 이용되어지고 있다. 다양한 전장품을 내장한 자동차에서는 전압이 다른 전장품을 한 개의 밧데리에서 DC-DC 컨버터를 이용해서 전압을 변환해서 이용되고 있다. 그러므로 이와 같은 구성의 전원회로에는 각각의 전장품에 대응하기 위해 복수의 변환기를 필요로 하지만 회로가 복잡하고 코스트가 상승하는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 배경으로 하나의 전원을 이용한 간단한 구성의 새로운 승$\cdot$강압 초퍼 회로를 제안하여 서로 다른 복수의 출력 전압을 얻었다. 제안한 초퍼 회로는 기존의 회로에 승압용 스위치를 추가하여 구성하였으며, 이를 이용하여 부하를 분할화 시켰다 그리고 제안한 회로는 승압용 스위치와 강압용 스위치의 듀티비를 각각 별도로 조절하여 넓은 범위에서 서로 다른 2개의 출력전압을 정확히 제어하였다. 이러한 모든 사항은 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 증명하였다.

Generation of electrical energy faces many problems today. Solar power converters were used to convert the electrical energy from the solar arrays to a stable and reliable power source. The object of this paper is to analyze and design DC-DC converters in a solar energy system to investigate the performance of the converters. A DC-DC converter can be commonly used to control the power flow from solar cell to load and to achieve maximum power point tracking(MPPT), DC-AC converter can also be used to modulate the DC power to AC power being applied on common utility load. A DC-DC converter is used to boost the solar cell voltage to constant 360(V) DC link and to ensure operation at the maximum power point tracking, If a wide input voltage range has to be covered a boost converter is required. In this paper, author described that simulation and experimental results of PV system contain solar modules, a DC-DC converter(boost type chopper), a DC-AC converter (3-phase inverter) and resistive loads.

In the buck-boost DC-DC converter which is used at a certain situation such as in factories where loads often change a lot, the switches in the device make big energy loss in operating at Buck-Boost Mode due to hard switching and are affected by lots of stresses which decrease the efficiency rate of the converter. In order to improve this problem, to decrease the loss of snubber and switching, it has been investigated that zero voltage switching mode and zero current switching mode which make the operation of switches with soft switching. For the more sophisticated and advanced device, this paper is presented the Partial Resonant Soft Switching Mode Power Converter which is adapted the power converter having the partial resonant soft switching mode, that makes switches operate when the resonant current or voltage becomes zero by making the resonant circuit partially at turning on and off of the switches with suitable layout of the resonant elements and switch elements in the converter. Also, this paper includes the analysis and simulation of the Partial Resonant type Buck-Boost Chopper.

The bidirectional boost-buck chopper type AC voltage regulator is presented in this paper. The main characteristic of the AC chopper is the fact that it generates an output AC voltage larger or lower than the input AC one, depending of the instantaneous duty-cycle. Boost-buck chopper type AC voltage regulator, derived from the DC chopper modulated method, is a kind of direct AC-AC voltage converter and has many advantages: such as fast response speed, low harmonics and high power factor. It adopts high switching frequency AC chopper technique and can do wide range step less AC voltage regulation.
