A method for detecting the three-phase currents of a voltage-fed pulsewidth modulated(PWM) inverter is proposed by utilizing only one current sensor placed on the dc-link. The proposed space vector PWM technique is two phase modulated PWM, this enables to detect the phase currents from only one DC link current sensor. The proposed method is simple, reduces the cost, and provides the small detection errors.

This paper proposes a new sensorless drive system for the trapezoidal Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor requiring mechanical position or speed sensor. The proposed method is using only one current sensor For this an indirect rotor position sensing method from the periodically variation DC Link current waveform. DC Link current waveform change from high to low when BLDC commutate status. This algorithm was verified by simulations using MATLAB SIMULINK and experiment.

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.

본 연구는 영구자석형 동기발전기의 DC-link 정전압 제어에 대하여 연구하였다. 영구자석형 동기발전기에서 발생하는 선간전압은 발전기의 회전속도에 따라 크기가 달라지기 때문에, 일반적으로 정속도 운전을 통해 정전압 출력을 한다. 그러나, 차량용 발전기의 회전자 위치검출 센서는 먼지, 온도, 진동 등에 강인한 특성을 지녀야 한다. 홀 센서를 이용한 회전자 위치 검출 알고리즘을 제안하여 발전기에 기계적인 부착이 쉽고, 사용환경에 강인하기 때문에 회전자 검출 센서로 홀 센서를 사용하고자 한다. 홀 센서는 매우 낮은 분해능을 지닌 위치 검출 방식이기 때문에, 본 논문에서는 홀센서는 낮은 분해능을 보완한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

A novel control scheme for a Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) drive is described. The control scheme which is to increase torque, to decrease torque ripples and easy to commutate is suggested. The conditions for high torque drive which includes flat-topped phase current and voltage control arc analyzed and adopted in this control scheme. Flat-topped current is achived via dc-link voltage control. The suggested control system was tested to verify this suggestion.

The SRM can be operated on the high speed range in which the back-emf is greater than the DC link voltage. However, the phase current of the SRM should be controlled through the selection of an exciting angle since it can not be controlled by a chop of the DC link voltage in the high speed range. In this paper, a PI and a bang-bang controller are employed in order to control the speed of the SRM and the leading angle of the SRM is adapted as a control input. The performances of two controllers are evaluated by computer simulation. The results show that the bang-bang controller is more attractive than the PI controller in the cost and performance aspects.

A novel passive boost power converter forsingle-phaseswitched reluctance motor is presented. A simple passive circuit is proposed comprisingthree diodes and one capacitor. The passive circuitis added in the front-end of a conventional asymmetric converter to obtain high negative bias. Based on this passive network, the terminal voltage of the converter side is a general DC-link voltage level in parallel mode up to a double DC-link voltage level in series mode. Thus,it can suppress the negative torque generation from the tail current and improve the output power. The results of the comparative simulation and experiments forthe conventional and proposed converter verify the performance of the proposed converter.

The insertion of the crowbar system in the doubly fed induction generator rotor circuit for a short period of time during grid disturbance enables a more efficient way of limiting transient rotor current and hence protecting the rotor side converter (RSC) and the DC - link capacitor. When crowbar is activated at fault occurrence and clearance time, RSC is blocked while DC -link capacitor and the grid side converter (GSC) can be controlled to provide reactive power support at the PCC and improve the voltage which helps to comply with grid codes. In this paper, control strategies for crowbar system to limit the rotor current during fault is presented with RSC and GSC controllers are modified to control PCC voltage during disturbance to enhance DFIG wind farm to comply with some strict grid codes. Model simulated on MATLAB/Simulink verify the study through simulation results presented.

Multilevel inverters (MLIs) have been preferred over conventional two-level inverters due to their inherent properties such as reduced harmonic distortion, lower electromagnetic interference, minimal common mode voltage, ability to synthesize medium/high voltage from low voltage sources, etc. On the other hand, they suffer from an increased number of switching devices, complex gate pulse generation, etc. This paper develops an ingenious symmetrical MLI topology, which consumes lesser component count. The proposed level dependent sources concoction multilevel inverter (LDSCMLI) is basically a multilevel dc link MLI (MLDCMLI), which first synthesizes a stepped dc link voltage using a sources concoction module and then realizes the ac waveform through a conventional H-bridge. Seven level and eleven level versions of the proposed topology are simulated in MATLAB r2010b and prototypes are constructed to validate the performance. The proposed topology requires lesser components compared to recent component reduced MLI topologies and the classical topologies. In addition, it requires fewer carrier signals and gate driver circuits.

Cascaded NPC/H-Bridge(CNHB) 컨버터는 전압 레벨 증가의 용이성 및 고효율 양방향 토폴로지로써 대전력 및 고전압 전력변환장치에 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 과도상태 및 정상상태에서의 단상으로 구성된 각 DC-link의 전압변동은 DC-link의 커패시턴스 증가 및 출력 전력의 품질을 저하시킨다. 이에 본 논문은 CNHB 컨버터의 정상상태 특성과 동특성 개선을 위하여 PI제어와 모델예측제어를 혼합한 제어기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법의 타당성은 PSIM 9.1.4 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 검증한다.
