This paper proposes a DC-link voltage variation compensation method for a 3-level single phase converter for high-speed trains. Since 3-level NPC(Neutral Point Clamped) type converters have the split DC-link causing the inherent problem of voltage fluctuations in the upper and lower capacitors, reducing the voltage difference between the top and bottom capacitors is required. In this paper, compensation time proportional to the voltage difference is added to PWM switching time to solve the voltage variation. The compensation time is obtained by a PI controller. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

This paper newly proposes the SRM drive system based on DC-link current information, from which the phase currents can be estimated in accuracy and also they can be used in driving SRM instead of the phase currents. Comparing to the general drive system based on the phase current information, it is verified through the simulation(which are peformed by RMxprt and Simplorer) that the proposed SRM drive system has the good performance in dynamic and steady-state responses of the speed control. Using the DC-link current information, all of the multi-phase currents can be easily estimated in driving the SRM.

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.

In this paper, a new soft switching three phase inverter with a quasi-resonant dc-link is presented. The proposed inverter has a dc-link switch and an auxiliary switch. The inverter switches are turned on and off under zero voltage switching condition and all auxiliary circuit switches and diodes are also soft switched. The control utilizes PWM and the auxiliary switch does not require an isolated gate drive circuit. In this paper, the operation analysis and design considerations of the proposed soft switching inverter are discussed. The presented experimental results of a realized prototype confirm the theoretical analysis.

This paper proposes a current ripple reduction method to improve the control performance of B4 type inverter that is studied for cost-effective drive systems. B4 inverters employ only four switches and they have a center-tapped connection between the split dc-link capacitors and one phase of a three-phase motor or load. In the B4 topology, unbalanced three-phase voltages will be generated due to the dc-link voltage ripple. To solve this problem, this paper presents a voltage distortion compensation method that adjusts the voltage reference with the consideration of dc-link voltage ripple. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation and excremental results with an induction machine.

In this paper, a novel active boost converter for SR drive is proposed. An active capacitor circuit is added in the front-end. Based on this active capacitor network, when boost switch turns off, this network seems as passive capacitor network. And the voltage of boost capacitor can keep balance with dc-link voltage automatically. In the capacitor network, discharging voltage is general dc-link voltage in parallel-connected capacitors; charging voltage is double dc-link voltage in series-connected capacitors. When boost switch turns on, two capacitors are connected in series, and discharging voltage is up to double dc-link voltage. So the fast excitation current can be obtained from this mode. Profit from fast excitation and fast demagnetization mode, the performance and output power can be improved. Some computer simulations are done to verify the performance of proposed converter.

This paper proposes the SRM drive system based on DC-link current, from which the phase currents can be estimated in accuracy and also they can be used in driving SRM instead of the three-phase currents. In additional, the detecting circuit for DC-link current is also proposed for increasing the resolution and decreasing the off-set. Comparing to the general drive system based on the phase current, it is verified through the experiment that the proposed SRM drive system has the good performance in steady-state responses of the speed control. Using the DC-link current, all of the 3-phase currents can be easily estimated in driving the SRM.

DSTATCOM is active filter that reduces nonlinear and unbalanced currents. Researches about DSTATCOM are mainly divided two parts, one is the reference value calculation of compensation current depending on the calculation of the load-side average active power and dc-link capacitor average voltage, the other part is actual current control depending on the reference value of compensation current. This paper proposes a calculation of dc-link capacitor average voltage ripple voltage extraction instead of conventional method using LPF. The utility of the proposed algorithm is verified through the theoretical analysis and the experiment under unbalance loads and non-linear load.

전원의 변동이 심한 전압원을 사용하는 선박, 전기자동차 등에서는 DC-Link전압이 가변하기 때문에 낮은 영역의 전압에서는 최대출력 운전을 할 수가 없다. 낮은 영역의 전압에서 최대 출력을 하기 위하여 유도전동기 ${\Delta}$결선 운전을 해야 하지만 ${\Delta}$결선 운전시 높은 입력 전류로 인하여 인버터 전력소자의 온도가 상승하게 된다. 따라서 유도전동기 Y결선 운전을 하고 부족한 출력은 유도전동기 약계자 제어를 하여야 한다. 본 논문은 가변 DC-Link 전압에서 최소의 상전류로 전력소자와 유도 전동기의 상태에 따라 최대출력 운전을 하는 약계자 제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다.
