3상 PWM 컨버터는 입력 전류를 정현적으로 제어할 수 있어 입력 전류의 고조파 성분을 감소시킬 수 있고 입력 전압에 대하여 입력 전류의 위상을 제어할 수 있다. 본 논문은 3상 PWM 컨버터의 역률개선을 위하여 전원전압센서를 사용하지 않고 가상자속기반 벡터제어를 적용한 새로운 센서리스 제어방식을 연구하였다. 직류출력전압은 칼만 필터를 적용하여 추정한 가상자속에 의해 제어되며, 동기위상은 추정된 가상자속을 이용하여 위상을 얻는다. 제시한 PFC 알고리즘은 역률개선 및 가변영역에서 직류출력전압, 부하변동에서 직류출력전압을 정밀하게 제어할 수 있는 우수성을 가진다. 본 논문에서 제안한 가상자속추정 알고리즘을 적용한 칼만 필터 성능은 실험과 시뮬레이션을 통해서 검증하였다.

The current paper presents a novel control strategy of a three-phase, four-wire Unified Power Quality (UPQC) to improve power quality. The UPQC is realized by the integration of series and shunt active power filters (APF) sharing a common dc bus capacitor. The realization of shunt APF is carried out using a three-phase, four-leg Voltage Source Inverter (VSI), and the series APF is realized using a three-phase, three-leg VSI. To extract the fundamental source voltages as reference signals for series APF, a zero-crossing detector and sample-and-hold circuits are used. For the control of shunt APF, a simple scheme based on the real component of fundamental load current (I $Cos{\Phi}$) with reduced numbers of current sensors is applied. The performance of the applied control algorithm is evaluated in terms of power-factor correction, source neutral current mitigation, load balancing, and mitigation of voltage and current harmonics in a three-phase, four-wire distribution system for different combinations of linear and non-linear loads. The reference signals and sensed signals are used in a hysteresis controller to generate switching signals for shunt and series APFs. In this proposed UPQC control scheme, the current/voltage control is applied to the fundamental supply currents/voltages instead of fast-changing APF currents/voltages, thus reducing the computational delay and the required sensors. MATLAB/Simulink-based simulations that support the functionality of the UPQC are obtained.

In this paper a new method for the design of a simple PI controller is presented and it has been applied in the control of a Boost based PFC rectifier. The Strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm, which is based on the Pareto Optimality concept, used in Game theory literature is implemented as a multi-objective optimization approach to gain a good transient response and a high quality input current. In the proposed method, the input current harmonics and the dynamic response have been assumed as objective functions, while the PI controller's gains of the PFC rectifier (Kpi, Tpi) are design variables. The proposed algorithm generates a set of optimal gains called a Pareto Set corresponding to a Pareto Front, which is a set of optimal results for the objective functions. All of the Pareto Front points are optimum, but according to the design priority objective function, each one can be selected. Simulation and experimental results are presented to prove the superiority of the proposed design methodology over other methods.

Power quality promotion has received increasing attention because of the wide use of semiconductor devices in recent decades. Reactive power regulation is crucial to ensuring the stable operation of power systems. In this study, a continuous reactive power controller, which is referred to as a parallel-connected magnetic energy recovery switch (MERS), is developed to regulate voltage or power factor in power grids. First, the operating principle is introduced, and a mathematical model is built. Second, a new control method for restraining current harmonics and the peak voltages of capacitors is presented. Using the proposed method, the MERS shows a wide range in terms of reactive power compensation. Finally, the performance of the proposed controller is demonstrated through computer simulations and experiments. Unlike STATCOMs, the proposed controller entails low losses, adopts a small dc capacitor, and offers ease of use.

In the LED lighting industry, the dimming function in the LED lamp is required by demands of many consumers. To drive this LED lighting, various types of power converters have been applied. Among them, an LLC resonant converter could be applied for high power LED lighting because of its high efficiency and high power density, etc. The function of power factor correction (PFC) might be added to it. In this paper, a dimmable single-stage asymmetrical LLC resonant converter is proposed. The proposed converter performs both input-current harmonics reduction and PFC using the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Also, the lower voltage stress across switching devices as well as the zero voltage switching (ZVS) in switching devices is realized by the proposed topology. It can reduce cost and has high efficiency of the driver. In addition, the regulation of the output power by variable switching frequency can vary the brightness of a light. In the proposed converter, one of the attractive advantages doesn’t need any extra control circuits for the dimming function. To verify the performance of the proposed converter, simulation and experimental results from a 300W prototype are provided.

This paper is given a full detail of mathematical analyses of input current for novel active type power factor correction(PFC) AC-DC converter of step up-down added electric isolation. These are compared with harmonics components of input current for a conventional PFC converter of electric isolation type. The proposed PFC converter is constructed in using a new loss-less snubber circuit to achieve a soft switching of control device. Also the proposed converter for discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) eliminates the complicated circuit control requirement and reduces the size of components. The input current waveform in the proposed converter is got to be a sinusoidal form of discontinuous pulse in proportion to magnitude of ac input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching. Therefore, input power factor is nearly unity and the control method is simple. Particularly, the stored energy of loss-less snubber capacitor is recovered with input side and increases input current from resonant operation. The result is that input power factor of the proposed converter is higher than that of a conventional PFC converter. Some simulative results on computer and experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.

최근 설비에 대한 고 역률과 저고조파의 요구가 증가하고 있어 국제적으로 고조파에 대한 규제가 강화되고 있다. 고조파를 줄이고 규제에 적합하기 위하여 역률 개선(PFC) 회로가 일반적으로 사용되어지고 있다. 이러한 역률개선 (PFC)회로의 제어방법으로 중, 대용량 스위칭 전원장치에 가장 적합한 것으로 알려진 평균 전류 제어방식이 가장 많이 사용되어지고 있다. 그러나 순시 정전이 된 후 복전 시 역률개선회로의 스위칭 소자가 빈번하게 파손이 되고있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점의 원인을 규명하고 해결 방법을 제안하였다.

기존의 역률 개선 컨버터는 경 부하에서 높은 직류 링크 전압을 갖는다. 특히 라인 전압이 높고 부하가 작을 경우, 직류 링크 전압은 매우 높은 전압을 갖게 되어 실용상 문제가 존재한다. 본 논문에서 역률 개선 부로 벅 토폴로지를 갖는 새로운 단일 전력 단 역률 개선 컨버터를 제안하였다. 또한 제안된 컨버터의 타당성을 증명하기 위해 제안된 회로의 설계 예를 보였으며, 설계 시 고려되어야 할 사항들과 관련 설계 식을 유도하였다. 유도된 설계 식으로부터 정해진 회로 정수 값을 이용하여 실험을 실시하였고, IEC1000-3-2의 역률 규제를 만족함을 입증하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 컨버터를 통하여 기존의 단일 전력 단 컨버터의 문제점인 경 부하 시 높은 직류 링크 전압 문제를 해결할 수 있었다.
