The precise and reliable loss model for induction motor and converter system is very important in order to predict the efficiency performance of variable speed drives. This paper proposes an accurate loss model of induction motor and converter system. The motor losses, such as stator and rotor copper loss, core loss and stray loss, are considered for fundamental and harmonic frequencies. Also considered are the skin effect on rotor resistance, temperature effect on bath stator and rotor resistance, magnetizing inductance saturation, and friction and windage loss. All the above features are incorporated in a synchronous frame dynamic d-q equivalent circuit. The converter system, consisting of a diode rectifier and PWM transistor inverter, is modeled accurately for conduction and switching losses. Validity of the models, in both steady state and transient conditions, is verified by simulations.

This paper presents a novel prototype of soft-switching PWM Full-bridge converter which incorporates active power switches in series with each rectifier diode in transformer secondary side. Switching and conduction losses of all the switches and devices are reduced as well as commutating current and circulating current flowing through transformer as compared with conventional converter. And duty ratio of primary switches is constant for maximum voltage conversion ratio. But this converter can be varied output by duty ratio of secondary switches. Operation principles basically the same as that of the PWM Full-bridge converter published previously. The operating characteristics of this converter are illustrate and discussed including the simulated analysis.

This paper deals with the design and simulation of the hybrid power filter to compensate reactive power and harmonic components of nonlinear load. Control target is a 3-phase diode full bridge rectifier with L-R-C nonlinear load, this load is assumed adjustable speed driver(ASD). The hybrid filter consists of a shunt active filter, shunt passive filters and series inductors. Control algorithm is based on instantaneous power compensation theory proposed by H.Akagi and etc. The result from simulation shows the hybrid filter is superior than other filters on the point of compensation performance and low cost. The PSCAD/EMTDC 3.0 is used as simulation tools.

A novel active input unbalance voltage compensator with harmonic current compensating capability is proposed and the operating principle of the proposed system is presented in the 3-phase power system. The proposed system performs both the voltage regulation of the load and the compensation of the harmonic currents generated due to nonlinear load such as diode rectifier. The system to compensate unbalanced voltage and hramonic currents is composed of a 3-phase voltage source inverter, LC filter, series transformer and passive devices at the load side of the line. The compensating voltage to regulate the load voltage and to remove the harmonic current components is transmitted to the line by the series transformer. The validity of the line by the series transformer. The validity of the proposed system is proved by the results of computer simulation.

This paper investigates a high performance converter topology for hydrogen gas generation electrolysis system. The proposed converter topology consists of full-bridge inverter, medium frequency transformer, and diode rectifier. Hydrogen gas generation electrolysis process considered in the paper is analyzed and characterized by its equivalent circuit. The electrolysis cell is modeled as effective resistance, capacitance, inductance, and internal emf voltage source. The proposed converter topology provides enhanced efficiency of hydrogen gas generation process under the operating condition of dc output voltage with high frequency ripple on it. The high performance operation of proposed converter is confirmed through the simulation with the electrolysis cell considered in the equivalent circuit model.

This paper investigates a power supply of medium voltage with enhanced ignition characteristics for plasma torch. Series resonant half-bridge topology is presented to be a suitable ignition circuitry. The ignition circuitry is integrated into the main power conversion system of a multi-phase staggered three-level dc-dc converter with a diode front-end rectifier. The plasma torch rated for 3MW, 2kA and having the physical size of 1m long is selected to be a high enthalpy source in waste disposal system. The steady-state and transient operations of plasma torch are simulated. The parameters of Cassie-Mary arc model are calculated based on 3D magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. Circuit simulation waveform shows that the ripple of arc current can be maintained within ${\pm}10%$ of its rated value under the existence of load disturbance. This power conversion configuration provides high enough ignition voltage around 5KA during ignition phase and high arc stability under the existence of arc disturbance noise resulting in a high-performance plasma torch system.

본 연구에서는 VHDL로 설계한 제어기를 이용하여 3상 다이오드 정류기의 입력파형 개선을 수행하였다. 일반적인 부하측에 흐르는 전류는 매 순간 3상 중에서 가장 높은 상에서 가장 낮은 상으로 흐르게 되므로 나머지 한 상의 전류가 불연속적으로 흐르게 된다. 이때 다이오드로 도통되지 않는 상의 전류는 부가한 스위치를 통하여 흐르게 되어 전류의 연속성을 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 동작을 위해 제안된 제어기는 입력신호에 맞추어 적절한 PWM 신호를 스위치에 인가함으로서 정류기의 역률 개선 및 고조파 저감의 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. FPGA제어기는 기존의 DSP를 이용한 제어기에 비해 작은 소비전력을 사용하며 제작기간을 줄일 수 있고 소형화시킬 수 있는 장점을 가짐을 확인하였다.

A ZVZCS(Zero-Voltage and Zero-Current-Switching) Three Level DC/DC Converter is presented to secondary auxiliary circuit. The converter presented in this paper used a phase shift control with a flying capacitor in the primary side to achieve ZVS for the outer switch. A secondary auxiliary circuit, which consists of one small capacitor and two small diode, is added in the secondary to provides ZVZCS conditions to primary switches, and aids to clamp secondary rectifier voltage. The auxiliary circuit Includes neither lossy component nor addition active switch, which makes the proposed converter efficient and effective. The principle of operation, feature, and design considerations are illustrated and verified through the experiment with a 500W 50kHz prototype converter.

An investigation into power conditioners that interface with photovoltaic array and utilities has been completed. The rating for this investigation is residential system(3-5kW) that interface with a 220V single phase utility connection. As the result of this investigation, a 3kW high frequency PWM IGBT inverter feeding a high frequency isolation transformer with a sinusoidal current wave was selected. The output of the transformer rectified with a diode bridge rectifier, four IGBT, used as 60Hz switched, reverse the polarity of the rectified current on every other half cycle of the utility voltage. Even though the high frequency link system used more power semiconductors, a net size, weight, and parts cost saving result compared to the other systems due to elimination of 60Hz transformer.
