The HVDC transformer which is one of the main equipments for HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) electric power transmission systems is exposed to not only AC voltage but also the inflowing DC voltage which comes from the DC-AC converter systems. Therefore, the HVDC transformer insulation system is required to withstand the electric field stress under AC, DC and DC polarity reversal conditions. However the electric field distributions under those conditions are different because the AC electric field and DC electric field are governed by permittivity and conductivity, respectively. In this study, the changes of electric potential and electric field of conventional AC transformer insulation system under DC polarity reversal test condition were analyzed by FEM(Finite Element Method). The DC electric field stress was concentrated in the solid insulators while the AC electric field stress was concentrated in the mineral oil. In addition, the electric stress under that condition which is affected by the surface charge accumulation at the interfaces between insulators was evaluated. The stress in some parts could be higher than that of AC and DC condition, during polarity reversal test. The result of this study would be helpful for the HVDC transformer insulation system design.

A soft switched matrix converter is proposed by adopting the zero voltage switching technique being used in some resonant pole inverters. High operating frequency with safe and efficient switching improves dynamic and spectral performances and simplifies protection logics and snubber networks. Further, it can be implemented using simple analog circuits, having similar transfer characteristics to those of the modern pulse width modulated matrix converters such as, maximum voltage transfer ratio and unity input displacement factor. Analyses, design and simulation results are presented to verify the operating principle.

New circuit D-Q transformation concept is introduced to analyze AC converters such as inverters, rectifiers and cyclo-converters with ease. The equivalent linear time invariant circuit is obtained by substituting switches with equivalent turn-ratio variable transformers and changing balanced AC reactors into equivalent DC reactors combined by gyrators. This circuit enables us to utilize the powerful linear system analysis techniques such as Laplace transform otherwise which could not be applied to the time varying switching systems. Direct substitution of switches of DC converters with transformers is shown as a preliminary. Then the modeling procedure is shown for a controlled rectifier-inverter circuit. Finally an analysis example is proposed for a buck-boost inverter and the result is compared with the conventional approach. This approach is applicable to all AC converter families to determine the AC transfer functions and the DC operating points. It is identified that the switching systems are equivalent to the RLC filter circuits with transformers and gyrators.

Converter transformer is the key equipment of high voltage direct current transmission system. The solid suspending particles originating from the process of installation and operation of converter transformer have significant influence on the insulation performance of transformer oil, especially in presence of DC component in applied voltage. Under high electric field, the particles easily lead to partial discharge and breakdown of insulating oil. This paper investigated copper particle effect on the breakdown voltage of transformer oil at combined AC and DC voltage. A simulation model with single copper particle was established to interpret the particle effect on the breakdown strength of insulating oil. The experimental and simulation results showed that the particles distort the electric field. The breakdown voltage of insulating oil contaminated with copper particle decreases with the increase of particle number, and the breakdown voltage and the logarithm of particle number approximately satisfy the linear relationship. With the increase of the DC component in applied voltage, the breakdown voltage of contaminated insulating oil decreases. The simulation results show that the particle collides with the electrode more frequently with more DC component contained in the applied voltage, which will trigger more discharge and decrease the breakdown voltage of insulating oil.

In this paper, we present an intelligent digital controller circuit which can be applied to automatic voltage regulation. The proposed solid state transformer with Pspice simulation model shows that our approach is very efficient and produces the desirable output. It is comparable to an ordinary magnetic coupled autotransformer.

The light-emitting diode (LED) has been used in a variety of industrial fields and for general 0lighting purposes on account of its high efficiency, low power consumption and long lifespan. The LED is driven by direct current; therefore, an AC/DC converter is typically required for its use. An electrolytic capacitor is generally used for stabilizing DC voltage during use of the AC/DC converter. However, this capacitor has a short lifespan, which makes it a limiting factor in LED lighting. Furthermore, LED lighting requires a dimmable control to enable energy savings and fulfil a growing consumer demand. In this paper, the dimmable single-stage power factor correction (PFC) continuous conduction mode (CCM) flyback converter that employs no electrolytic capacitor is presented. The LC resonant filter is alternatively applied to reduce the 120[Hz] ripple on the output. And the optimum value of the LC resonant filter parameters considering both efficient and performance is analysed. Simulation and experimental results verify the satisfactory operation of the converter.

An indirect matrix converter (IMC) is a modern power generation system that enables a direct ac/ac conversion without the need for any bulky and limited lifetime electrolytic capacitor. This system also allows four-quadrant operation, generation of sinusoidal output voltage waveforms with variable frequency and amplitude, and control of input power factor. This study proposes a pulse-width modulation-based sliding-mode controller to achieve unity input-power factor operation of the IMC independently of the active power exchanged with the grid, as well as a fast dynamic response. The designed equivalent control law determines, at each sampling period, the appropriate q-axis component of the modulated input current to be injected into the grid through the LC input filter. An integral term of the error is included in the expression of the sliding surface to increase the accuracy of the control method. A double space vector modulation method is used to synthesize the direction of the space vector of the input currents as required by the sliding-mode controller and the space vectors of the target output voltages. Simulation and experimental results are provided to show the effectiveness and evaluate the performance of the proposed control method.

본 논문은 단위 역률을 갖도록 직접 시비율 펄스폭 변조 방식으로 제어되는 3상 매트릭스 컨버터의 평형 및 불평형 부하시의 동작 특성을 고찰한다. 시스템의 해석으로부터 얻어진 중요하고 유용한 사실을 정리하면 다음과 같다. (1) 단위 역률 제어 알고리즘은 부하측의 변수에 의해서가 아니라 입력전압에 의하여 정해진다. (2) 평형 3상 부하가 리액티브 부하인 경우만 아니라면 입력측 역률을 1로 만들 수 있다. (3) 불평형 선형부하의 경우, 매트릭스 컨버터의 등가입력 특성은 비선형저항과 같다. (4) 입력 주파수와 출력 주파수가 특정한 관계를 가질 때, 입력측의 각상은 동일한 평균전력 분담률을 갖는다. 해석의 타당성과 유효성은 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 통하여 검증하였다.

This paper describes the PWM cycloconverter which can provide step-up ac-ac direct conversion in a wide output frequency range. With input reactor and output capacitor. the input and output ports are exchanged. And sine PWM scheme is applied to the converter. To analyze the converter operation the state equations are derived using dq transformation. Simulated results show that both the output voltage and frequency can be controlled by adjusting the modulating functions.
