It is very important to maintain the balanced output voltage waveforms under the unbalanced DC-link voltages in the four-switch three-phase inverter(FSTPI). In this paper, the improvement of output voltage waveforms is proposed with the aid of DC-link voltage ripple estimation. The proposed method can be implemented without the additional voltage sensor. The proposed method applied to the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is simulated and experimented in order to verify its feasibility.

A Hight Efficiency Quasi-Parallel Resonant DC-Link Inverter which shows highly improved PWM capability, low loss characteristic and low voltage stress is presented. A method to minimize freewheeling interval, which is able to largely decrease DC-link operation losses and to steadily guarantee soft switching in the wide operation region is proposed. Analysis and simple experiments were performed to verify validity of the proposed inverter topology.

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.

In this paper, a low-cost single-phase PWM rectifier with small DC-link capacitors is proposed, where a buck-boost converter with a low power rating is added at the DC link. By controlling the auxiliary circuit so as to absorb the voltage ripple in the DC link, the second-order voltage ripple in DC-link capacitor can be reduced significantly. Therefore, a small film capacitor can be utilized to replace the bulky electrolytic capacitors. The simulation results are shown to verify the validity of the proposed method.

Grid voltage variation is usually happened but existing PV inverter dose not consider this variation before inverting into AC power. This inverting is a cause of unnecessary losses. This paper proposes that DC-link should be changed for removing those losses. Furthermore, maximum efficiency tracking control algorithm with variable DC-link voltage is proposed and verified by simulation and experiment.

본 논문은 3레벨 정류기와 직렬 입력, 병렬 출력 LLC 컨버터가 연결된 전원 장치의 DC-Link 전압 불평형 제어에 관해 분석한다. 일반적으로 380Vac 입력을 가지는 3레벨 부스트 기반 정류기는 출력 전압을 700Vdc 이상으로 제어한다. 또한, 3레벨 컨버터는 두 개의 직렬 출력 커패시터를 가지며, 불균형 해소를 위한 제어 또는 물리적 불평형 해소 소자가 요구된다. 스위칭 신호를 공유하는 두 개의 LLC 컨버터가 연결된 시스템에 DC-Link 불평형 전압 제어가 적용되면 전력의 쏠림 현상이 발생한다. 본 논문은 제시된 시스템에서 전력의 쏠림 현상에 대해 그 원인을 분석하고 실험으로 검증한다.

본 논문은 SiC-MOSFET 기반 전기차용 인버터의 DC-Link 캐패시터 전기용량을 선정하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 인버터 시스템에 주로 사용되는 DC-Link 캐패시터는 안정적인 전원 및 고주파 전류 공급 등의 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 인버터가 고용량일수록 캐패시터 사이즈가 커지고 무게가 늘어나는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서, 차세대 전력 반도체 소자로 각광 받는 SiC-MOSFET의 높은 동작 주파수의 특성을 활용하여 캐패시터 소형화를 실현시켰다. 또한, PSIM 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 연구의 타당성을 검증하고 Si-IGBT 인버터와 비교하여 그 효과를 입증하였다.

This paper presents a novel circuit topology of a DC bus line series switch and parallel snubbing capacitor-assisted soft-switching PWM full-bridge inverter type DC-DC power converter with a high frequency planar transformer link, which is newly developed for high performance arc welding machines in industry. The proposed DC-DC power converter circuit is based upon a voltage source-fed H type full-bridge soft-switching PWM inverter with a high frequency transformer. This DC-DC power converter has a single power semiconductor switching device in series with an input DC low side rail and loss less snubbing capacitor in parallel with the inverter bridge legs. All the active power switches in the full-bridge arms and DC bus line can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off transition commutation. Consequently, the total switching power losses occurred at turn-off switching transition of these power semiconductor devices; IGBTs can be reduced even in higher switching frequency bands ranging from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. The switching frequency of this DC-DC power converter using IGBT power modules can be realized at 60 kHz. It is proved experimentally by power loss analysis that the more the switching frequency increases, the more the proposed DC-DC power converter can achieve a higher control response performance and size miniaturization. The practical and inherent effectiveness of the new DC-DC converter topology proposed here is actually confirmed for low voltage and large current DC-DC power supplies (32V, 300A) for TIG arc welding applications in industry.

A quasi parallel resonant do-link (QPRDCL) circuit with improved PWM capability is Proposed for tile zero voltage switching (ZVS) three phase PWM inverter. The peak voltage stresses of switches are all clamped to the dc-link voltage $V_d$. The proposed QPRDCL inverter has highly improved PWM capability due to selecting the on/off instants of the resonant link at will. Operational principles and analyses of the proposed QPRDCL circuit are explained and verified by simulation results.
