In this paper, the parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack for easy capacity enlargement series in the medium power capacity inverter system of the 660V voltage class is described. The parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack for 1.5MVA medium power inverter system's design is applied. The results of the parallel operation are described in this paper. The designed stack capacity for parallel operation is 800kVA class. For 1.5MVA inverter system, the 800kVA stack is applied with 2 parallel configurations. The 800kVA stack is designed with 3 parallel configurations of the IGBT Module. In this paper, the feasibility for easy capacity enlargement series in the medium power inverter by applying the parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack is verified. The experimental results show the good characteristics for the parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack.

IGBTS are widely used for the industrial inverters in the mid power range at low voltage (440V$\~$660V) application. Advantageous features of the device are simple gate drive and high speed switching capability. Due to these advantages the application of IGBTS is enlarging into the high power application. However, to increase the power handling capacity at lower input voltage level, the current rating in each bridge arm must be enlarged. Therefore the parallel operation of IGBT devices is essentially needed. This paper describes the feasible parallel structures of the power circuit for the mid & the high power inverters and introduces the important design condition for the parallel operation of IGBT devices. To verify feasibility of the IGBT parallel operation, the feature of several IGBT devices (EUPEC, SEMIKRON's IGBT) are investigated and the power stacks are implemented and tested with these devices. The experimental results show the good characteristics for the parallel operation of IGBTS.

IGBT는 전압정격 및 전류정격이 높고 도통손실이 낮아서 스위칭 전원장치에 많이 쓰이고 있는 추세에 있다. 그러나 IGBT는 MOSFET에 비해 스위칭 특성이 좋지 않아서 스위칭 손실이 많이 발생하며 주파수에도 제한을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 IGBT와 MOSFET의 장점을 살리기 위하여 IGBT에 MOSFET를 병렬로 접속한 IGBT-MOSFET 병렬 스위치를 사용한 2.4kW, 48V 출력의 고효율 반브리지 직류-직류 변환기를 제안한다. 병렬 스위치에서 주 스위칭 소자인 IGBT는 도통구간에서 주된 역할을 하며 MOSFET는 스위칭시에 주된 역할을 한다. 스위칭 손실을 분석하기 위하여 선형화 모델을 사용하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통하여 변환기의 동작을 확인하였다.

The AC-to-DC single-phase PWM rectifier for traction applications using high power semiconductor, IGCT is made and tested. Parallel operation of two PWM converter is adopted for increasing capacity of converters. For reducing harmonics, the harmonic content is eliminated by the phase shift between two converters switching phase. The output voltage control is achieved by interns calculation without detecting the input current. The part of PLL used for controlling power factor is simply implemented by software.

An insulated gate bipolar transistor(IGBT) is a MOS gate turn on/off bipolar transistor which combines the attributes of the MOSFET and bipolar transistor. Because of its limitation of power capability compared to thyristor or GTO, some parallel connection of IGBT has been studied to improve the limitation of current capabillity. In this paper, the switching effects from the unbalance of internal parameters of IGBT and the turn-off snubber characteristics are investigated using SPICE program.

This study presents a novel method for reducing the switching losses of an asymmetric half-bridge converter for a three-phase, 12/8 switched reluctance motor operated in low speed. In particular, this study aims to reduce the switching-off losses of chopping switches in the converter when operated in the current regulated mode (chopping mode). The proposed method uses the mixed parallel operation of IGBT (chopping switch) and MOSFET (auxiliary switch). MOSFET is precisely controlled to momentarily conduct prior to the turn-off interval of the IGBT. Consequently, the voltage across the switches is clamped to approximately zero, substantially decreasing the turn-off switching losses. The analytical expressions of power losses are extensively elaborated. Compared with the conventional asymmetric half-bridge converter, the modified converter can effectively minimize the switching losses. Therefore, the efficiency of the converter is eventually improved. Computer simulation and experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

본 논문에서는 동적 전류분담 인덕터를 이용한 ZVT 풀 브리지 DC/DC 컨버터의 병렬운전 특성을 해석하였다. 기존의 경우 CT(Current Transformer)를 사용하여 각 단위 컨버터 전류의 크기를 감지하여, 제어회로에서 각 컨버터에 균등한 전류 배분을 하는 방법을 사용하였으나, 본 연구에서는 동적 전류분담 인덕터를 사용함으로써 병렬운전하는 두 대의 풀 브리지 컨버터의 전류분배를 위한 제어회로를 비교적 단순하게 하였다. 동시에 ZVT회로를 이용하여 컨버터의 효율을 향상시켰으며 스위칭소자로서 IGBT를 사용하여 2[㎾]급 시작품을 제작, 50[KHz]에서 실험하였다.

In general, the parallel-connected linear induction motors(LIM) are fed by one VVVF inverter in the magnetically levitated vehicle(MAGLEV) or linear motor subway drives. The air gap length of the parallel-connected linear induction motors operating at a grade or curved sections can be different each other. The air gap difference of the two motors attached to the same module causes unequal phase currents, asymmetic thrust and attraction force generation. In this paper, parellel-connected linear induction motors are operated by one IGBT inverter under the different air gap condition so that the phase current characteristics are examined experimentally.

This paper proposes a utility parallel processing inverter system, which consists of a voltage source PWM inverter, isolation transformer and a reactor linking the inverter to utility line. This system realizes following functions : (1) voltage phase frequency and amplitude synchronization between inverter and utility line at stand-alone mode. (2) current phase synchronization between inverter and load at parallel mode. Therefore, despite sudden increase in load current over setting point at stand-alone mode, inverter system can be transferred into parallel mode immediately without transient current. Furthermore, high frequency(18KHz) PWM control and sinusoidal filtering improve the inverter output waveform by eliminating high order harmonic components as well as low order. As a switching device, IGBT is used for high frequency switching and large current capacity.
