In a single-phase grid-connected power system consisting of a DC/DC converter and a DC/AC converter, the current drawn from renewable energy sources has a tendency to be pulsated and contains second-order frequency ripple components, which results in several drawback such as a power harvesting loss and a shortening of the energy source's life. This paper presents a new second-order harmonic current reduction scheme with a fast dc-link voltage loop for two-stage dc-dc-ac grid connected systems. In the frequency domain, an adequate control design is performed based on the small signal transfer function of a two-stage dc-dc-ac converter. To verify the effectiveness of proposed control algorithm, a 1 kW hardware prototype has been built and experimental results are presented.

Korean multi-propulsion system consists of a synchronous alternator driven by a gas turbine driving synchronous alternator coupled to a rectifier - DC link - DC/DC converter and traction system based on modification of the G7 high-speed train. The simulation modules include turbine engine system, alternator, rectifier, DC/DC converter and power management module. Simulation for the multi-propulsion system such as a modular is presented in order to confirm the system stability for loads with uncertain input impedances and control loop speeds. This paper deals with various simulation modules with a specific control loop to help the development of the real lame-scaled system.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a unit module for a 10 kVA class 13.2 kV/220 V unidirectional solid-state transformer (SST) with silicon-carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. The proposed module consists of an active-front-end (AFE) converter to interface 1320 V AC voltage source to 2500 V DC link and an isolated resonant DC-DC converter for 500 V low-voltage DC output. The design approaches of the AFE and the isolated resonant DC-DC converters are addressed. The control structures of the converters are described as well. The experiments for the converters are performed, and results verify that the proposed unit module can be successfully adopted for the entire SST operation.

This paper presents a novel non-resonant PWM DC-DC converter for X-ray high-voltage power generator using the parasitic impedances of the high-voltage high-frequency link transformer with its output high-voltage control scheme and steady-state characteristics compared to the conventional series-parallel resonant DC-DC converter. The key point of this approach is to evaluate effectiveness of reduction of the turn ratio of the high-voltage high-frequency transformer on improvements in power conversion efficiency and the power factor applying a boost AC-DC converter as DC voltage source, especially in the long exposure term and light output load ranges.

30kW electrical power conversion system is delveloped for the variable speed wind turbine system. 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 frequency of generator output vary according to the wind speed, a dc/dc boosting chopper is utilized to maintain constant dc link voltage. Grid connection type PWM inverter supply currents into the utility line by regulating the dc link voltage. The active power is controlled by q-axis current which the reactive power can be controlled by d-axis current reference change. The phase angle of utility voltage is detected using s/w PLL(Phased Locked Loop) in d-q synchronous reference frame. This scheme gives a low cost power solution for variable speed WECS.

The operation regions of a three-phase(3Ø) voltage-source(VS) PWM converter are classified in the current vector plane of the synchronous reference frame and their characteristics are explained. In the the power-factor decreasing region, the current control with unity power-factor can not give satisfactory performance to the given load because of the distortion of input current and the ripples and the steady-state errors in DC link voltage. In this paper, the derivation of the optimal current vector is proposed to solve these problems. With this, the input current can be controlled sinusoidally with available maximum power factor and the DC link voltage be the given load, resulting the expansion of the operation region of the 3Ø VS PWM converter. The validity of the proposed control method is proved by the experimental results.

This paper presents a novel hybrid multilevel inverter using DC-Link voltage combination in order to improve the waveshape of output voltage and reduce harmonics. The proposed multilevel inverter can generate an 11-level output voltage. It employs three H-bridge cell, which consists of single phase full-bridge inverter module. Among them, two modules are used for level generation, and one module performs PWM switching. Nine levels are synthesised by the level inverter, and two levels are added to output by the PWM inverter. As a result, it generates an 11-level. The operational principles are explained in depth, and the validity of the proposed system is verified through the PSpice simulation and experimental results based on a prototype.

This paper is proposed the Suboptimal PAWM(Pulse Amplitude Width Modulation) for minimize harmonic effects generated by switching operation of PWM Inverter. This strategy determine one switching pattern at a fixed point(fundamental) voltage u1=1.2) which THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) are minimized in the suboptimal PWM strategy, and controls only frequency in the inverter while voltage control is carried out by DC Chopper in the DC Link. This strategy is applied at VSD(Variable Speed Drive) of Three phase induction moter, and acoustic noise of motor, line to line voltage and current of inverter, current harmonic spectrum was estimated and also compared with other switching strategy. From the results, the validity of this strategy can be verified.

This paper proposes a correction method of capacitance estimation considering the temperature effect for the DC-link capacitor banks in three-phase AC/DC/AC PWM converters. At first, operating temperature of the capacitors is detected and capacitance variation is corrected due to the temperature effect. Thermisters are used for sensing the temperature and voltage variation across the thermister is exploited to identify the capacitance change. The validity of the proposed method has been verified by experimental results.

듀얼 인버터를 가진 개방 권선형 영구자석 동기 전동기는 같은 DC Link 전압으로 모터에 더 큰 전압을 사용할 수 있게 할 수 있다. 이 때문에 DC Link와 인버터 사이의 DC/DC Boost 컨버터의 필요성을 없애줄 뿐 아니라 배터리의 전압을 낮출 수 있어 안전상의 이점 및 BMS의 요구 조건을 낮추므로 경제적 이점을 가질 수 있다. 이 시스템은 경제적 이점 외에도 모터에 고전압을 인가함으로써 기존에 비해 고속 운전 영역 확장 또는 운전 영역을 기존과 동일하게 유지한다면 인버터의 손실 감소라는 이점 또한 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 1차단 인버터와 2차단 인버터의 합성전압 차이로 인해 생기는 Zero Sequence Voltage (ZSV)로 인해 시스템의 손실을 증대시키는 Zero Sequence Current (ZSC)가 흐를 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 억제하기 위한 스위칭 패턴 형성을 위한 PWM 캐리어 생성 방법에 대해 제시하고, 이 방법을 적용하여 스위칭 순서 상 센터 영벡터의 유/무에 따른 제어 영향성 분석을 추가로 진행하여 전류 리플을 줄일 수 있는 스위칭 패턴 생성 방법을 제시한다.
