This paper proposes a new voltage reference generation method for Four-Switch Inverters(FSI) with compensation of the neutral DC-link voltage variation. Since FSIs have the split DC-link causing the inherent problem of voltage fluctuations in the upper and lower capacitors, it is required to take account the voltage difference between the top and bottom capacitors. In this paper, to reduce the effect by the voltage variation, reference voltages are modified by adding compensation voltages proportional to the voltage difference between upper and lower capacitors. Simulation results showing control performance of induction and permanent magnet motors demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

Single phase converters suffer from ripple power pulsating at twice the line frequency. The ripple power is usually absorbed by a bulky capacitor bank and/or a dedicative LC resonant link, resulting in a low power density and a high cost. An alternative solution is using a dc link active power filter (APF) to direct the pulsating power into another energy-storage component. The main dc link filter capacitor can then be reduced substantially. Based on a mainstream dc APF topology, this paper proposed a new control strategy incorporating both dual-loop control and repetitive control. The circuit parameter design is also re-examined from a control point of view. The proposed APF scheme has better control performance, and is more suited for high power applications since it works in CCM and with a low switching frequency.

This paper presents a charcteristcic analysis switched reluctance motor (SRM) considering hard chopping and DC link voltage ripple by using time-stepped voltage source finite element method in which the magnetic field is combined with drive circuit. We also examine the influence of freewheeling diodes and DC link voltage ripple on the performance of the SRM such as torque ripples and radial force on the surface of the teeth The freewheeling diodes and DC link voltage ripples must be taken into account in predicted the performance of SRM

This paper applies carrier phase shifted pulse-width modulation (CPS-PWM) to transformerless modular multilevel converters (MMC) to improve the output spectrum. Because the MMC topology is characterized by the double-star connection of six legs consisting of cascaded modular chopper cells with floating capacitors, the balance control of the DC-link capacitor voltage is essential for safe operation. This paper presents a leg-balancing control strategy to achieve DC-link voltage balance under all operating conditions. This strategy based on circulating current decoupling control focused on DC-link balancing between the upper and lower legs in each phase pair by considering the six legs as three independent phase-pairs. Experiments are implemented on a 100-V 3-kVA downscaled prototype. The experimental results show that the proposed leg-balancing control is both effective and practical.

본 논문에서는 3-레벨 Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) 인버터의 DC-Link 중성점 전압 리플을 저감하여 인버터 출력 전압의 품질 신뢰성 향상이 가능한 새로운 Discontinuous Pulse Width Modulation (DPWM) 기법을 제안한다. NPC 인버터에서는 두 개의 커패시터로 이루어진 DC-Link 구조로 인해 상, 하단 DC-Link 커패시터 전압 불평형인 상황에서 DC-Link 중 성점 전압 리플이 발생한다. 중성점 전압 리플 발생 시 출력 전압의 품질을 보장할 수 없으며, 민감한 부하에 손상을 입힐 수 있다. 제안한 DPWM 알고리즘은 DC-Link 커패시터 전압을 조정하는 두 개의 오프셋을 사용하여 중성점 전압 리플을 저감한다. 또한, 시뮬레이션을 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증한다.

This paper is about power transfer between heterogeneous systems in zero-energy buildings. Currently, electricity used in buildings, from renewable energy generation power in buildings, consists of alternating current networks. In order to use electricity, alternating current must be converted to direct current, which typically results in a loss of 10%. In order to solve this problem, research is needed to reduce power loss as much as possible by implementing both a DC network and an AC network in a zero-energy building. Therefore, in this paper, an inter-link converter capable of bidirectional power transfer between DC and AC networks applied to zero-energy buildings is developed. The structure of the inter-link converter to be developed was proposed and its feasibility was verified through simulations and experiments.

현재 생활의 이기인 자동차 등에서 구동되는 기기의 전원은 배터리 전원을 주로 사용하고 있으며, 또한 산업체에 사용되는 인버터를 사용하는 기기에서도 DC 전원 사용이 확대되고 있다. 이와 같이 DC 전원이 사용되는 곳에서 전력선을 활용한 데이터 통신방식에 대한 수요가 급증할 것으로 사료된다. 본 논문에서는 DC 전원을 기반으로 하는 DC 전력선 통신을 이용하여 BLDC(Brushless DC) 전동기 구동시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템의 특징은 인출되는 DC 전원으로 사용되는 2 선만으로 구성하여 데이터 통신을 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 외부 설정치와 지령치로 사용되는 신호선을 제거하고 전력선과 엔코더 신호선의 단축으로 신뢰성 확보되며, 또한 멀티 제어 시 배선수의 최소화 및 회전기기 장착 시 슬립링 수를 최소화 할 수 있다. 위험한 환경에서도 안정성이 증가되며, 시스템 제작단가를 저감할 수 있다. 마지막으로 제안된 방식에 대한 우수성을 검증하기 위해서 PSIM 및 MATLAB를 활용하여 시뮬레이션을 실시하였고, 실제 프로토타입을 제작하여 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents a high-efficiency power conditioning system (PCS) for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) modules. The proposed PCS consists of a step-up DC-DC converter and a single-phase DC-AC inverter for the grid-connected PV modules. A soft-switching step-up DC-DC converter is proposed to generate a high DC-link voltage from the low PV module voltage with a high-efficiency. A DC-link voltage controller is presented for constant DC-link voltage regulation. A half-bridge inverter is used for the single-phase DC-AC inverter for grid connection. A grid current controller is suggested to supply PV electrical power to the power grid with a unity power factor. Experimental results are obtained from a 180 W grid-connected PV module system using the proposed PCS. The proposed PCS achieves a high power efficiency of 93.0 % with an unity power factor for a 60 Hz / 120 Vrms AC power grid.

A phase shift algorithm based on the closed-loop control of dc-link voltage implemented on a series active voltage quality regulator (AVQR) is proposed in this paper. To avoid pumping-up the dc-link voltage, a general phase shift compensation strategy is applied. The relationships among the operation variables are discussed in detail, which is very important for guiding the design of both the main circuit and the control system. Then on the basis of an investigation of the dc-link voltage pumping-up from viewpoint of the active power flow, a novel phase shift control method based on the closed-loop of the dc-link voltage is proposed. This method can adjust the phase of the output voltage gradually and automatically according to the dc-link voltage variation without introducing a phase jump. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified through simulations of a single-phase 5kVA prototype and laboratory experiments on both a single-phase 5kVA and a three-phase 15kVA prototype.
