In this paper a cycloconverter-type high frequency transformer link inverter with a reduced switch count is analyzed and designed. The proposed topology consists of an H-bridge inverter at the transformer's primary side and a cycloconverter with three bidirectional switches at the secondary. All of the switches of the cycloconverter operate in non-resonant zero voltage and zero current switching modes. To overcome a high voltage surge problem resulting from the transformer leakage inductance, phase angle control based on natural commutation is employed. The effectiveness of the proposed inverter is verified by constructing s 750W prototype. Experimentally, the inverter is able to supply a near sinusoidal output voltage with a total harmonic distortion of less than 1%. For comparison, a PSpice simulation of the inverter is also carried out. It was found that the experimental results are in very close agreement with the simulation.

A novel resonant pulse control technique which generates high-quality sinusoidal output voltage from a resonant dc link inverter is presented for UPS applicatons. The proposed control technique limits resonant voltae overshoot without any passive or active clamp circuit, resulting in resonant pulses iwth uniform amplitude and high efficiency. The output voltage is controlled by the third order contorller iwth an inner loop of th efilter inductor current and the feedforward controller. Analysis and design of the proposed control technique are illustrated and verified on a 5kVA experimental unit.

최근 산업이 대규모화함에 따라 고압 전력 변환 장치의 필요성이 증가하고 있고, 이에 따라 전력용 반도체 소자의 직렬 구동이 많이 이용되고 있다. 소자의 직렬 구동은 소자간에 적절한 전압 분배가 이루어져 개별 소자에 정격이상의 과전압이 인가되는 것을 방지하는 것이 큰 관건이다. 또한 고전압 회로에서는 부유 인덕턴스에 의한 소자의 과전압도 방지하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 직렬 연결된 IGBT의 턴-오프 과도상태시 컬렉터 전압 기울기 조절로 안정된 전압 분배와 과전압을 방지하는 새로운 게이트 구동기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 게이트 구동기법은 컬렉터 전압을 검출하여 능동적으로 게이트 신호를 제어함으로써 과전압을 제한한다. 새로운 IGBT 게이트 구동회로를 제작하고 직렬 연결된 IGBT 회로에 적용하여 게이트 구동기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

A series voltage compensation(SVC) system is a power-electronics controller that can protect sensitive loads from disturbance in the supply system. Especially, voltage sags are considered the dominant disturbances affecting the power quality. This paper dealt with a system of off-line type voltage sag compensation by using a bi-directional DC/DC converter of environmentally friendly ultra-capacitor. This capacitor is attached to the DC link of SVC through the high-efficiency DC/DC converter in order to compensate the DC link voltage drop during short-term power interruption as voltage sags. Therefore, in this paper, a DC/DC converter to control high-efficiency energy of ultra-capacitor and voltage sag detection algorithm of off-line type SVC systems are newly introduced. According to the results of experimental of prototype system, it is verified that the proposed system has effectiveness of voltage sag compensation using an ultra-capacitor.

This paper deals with the modeling and analysis of the high voltage flyback transformer (HVFBT) often utilized in small-sized high voltage DC power supplies. The parasitic capacitance of th HVFBT with the large turns of the secondary winding causes the undesirable parasitic resonance in the transient state which produces the high current stress and limits the switching frequency of the converter. In order to analyze this phenomenon the equivalent circuit model including the parasitic capacitance is derived and the frequency characteristics are provided. The parasitic resonance in the switching states is also investigated based on this equivalent circuit model. The derived model and analysis is finally validated through the SPICE simulation and experiments.

In this paper, a method for controlling a single phase PWM AC/DC converter without any voltage sensors is proposed. In this method, the source voltage is estimated by sliding mode observer and input current is synchronized with the estimated source voltage. The source voltage is estimated by current error between the actul and the estimated current. The experimental results confirm the validity of the proposed control method.

This paper presents a high efficient generator with PM(Permanent Magnet) exciter. The proposed PM exciter for the generator can produce a linear output voltage according to the engine speed. This output voltage is directly used to control the field current of the generator to adjust the generator output voltage. In the proposed generator system, since the field winding current can be supplied by the PM exciter, the generator can self-start without any battery or an external power supply due to the low residential flux. Furthermore, the operating efficiency of the generator is higher than a conventional winding exciter. The main problem of the proposed generator system, the field winding current controller has to be embedded inside the generator, and it rotates according to the generator shaft. In this paper, the proper embedded current controller is designed for the proposed generator system. Due to the embedded controller cannot be connected to the outside the generator controller, the measured instantaneous output voltage of the generator is transferred by the photo isolated communication using shaft aligned infrared transmitter and receiver to keep the constant generator output voltage. In this paper, 10kW, 380V engine generator with PM exciter and the embedded DAVR(Digital Automatic Voltage Regulator) are described. The proposed high efficiency generator is simulated and tested to verify the effectiveness.

A gasoline engine automobile uses high voltage generation of the ignition coil, igniting and burning mixed fuel in the combustion chamber, which drives the engine. When the electronic control unit intermits a current supplied to the power transistor, counter electromotive force with a low voltage is generated by self induction action in the ignition primary coil and a high voltage is induced by mutual induction action with the primary ignition coil in the second ignition coil. The high voltage is supplied to the ignition plug in the combustion chamber, causing a spark, igniting the compressed mixed fuel. If a very small defect occurs inside the insulating material when a voltage is applied in said ignition coil, the performance of the insulation material will get worse and breakdown by a partial discharge of corona discharge. Thus, in this experiment, we are to contribute to improve the performance and ensure the reliability of the ignition coil by investigating partial discharge characteristics according to the change of voltage and temperature when a voltage is applied to the specimen of the epoxy molding ignition coil.

Droop control schemes have been widely employed in the control strategies for Multi-Terminal Direct Current (MTDC) system for its high reliability. Under the conventional DC voltage-active power droop control, the droop slope applies a proportional relationship between DC voltage error and active power error for power sharing. Due to the existence of DC network impedance and renewable resource fluctuation, there is inevitably a DC voltage deviation from the droop characteristic, which in turn results in inaccurate control of converter's power. To tackle this issue, a piecewise droop control with DC voltage dead band or active power dead band is implemented into controller design. Besides, an advanced droop control scheme with versatile function is proposed, which enables the converter to regulate DC voltage and AC voltage, control active and reactive power, get participated into frequency control, and feed passive network. The effectiveness of the proposed control method has been verified by simulation results.
