전력변환장치의 효율을 개선하기 위해 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는 가운데, 본 논문에서는 3-레벨 인버터 중에서도 NPC 인버터와 T-타입 인버터를 사용한다. 각 인버터는 서로 다른 스위치 정격에 의해 손실 차이가 생기며, 또한 손실에 영향을 미치는 MI(Modulation Index), PF(Power Factor), 그리고 스위칭 주파수에 따라 손실의 크기가 좌우 되었다. 하지만 두 인버터는 각 구조의 특성상 NPC 의 경우 도통손실이 매우 크며, T-타입의 경우 스위칭 손실이 크게 나타난다는 모듈상의 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 인버터 구조에 따라 손실에 지배적으로 영향을 미치는 각 Device의 특성을 고려하여, 전력변환장치에서 발생되어지는 도통손실과 스위칭손실을 분석 하였다.

In microgrid demonstration site, distributed generations can make bidirectional power flows on the system. If an accident occurs, the fault current from the inverter based distributed generation is small. However, the conventional protection scheme in distribution network is designed to operate at high fault current. This means that the traditional protection of distribution network is no longer applicable and new protection methods must be developed. In this paper, for two cases, algorithms for protection coordination of demonstration site is proposed and verified through PSCAD/EMTDC simulation. In first case, protection devices are assumed to have the abilities of directional relaying and communication. In second case, protection devices do not have those abilities. Proposed protection coordination algorithms detect the fault locations and protect the microgrid fairly well.

Recently, many water treatment facilities are operated by automatic control or by remote control. These high technology control systems require more stable power supply than before Badly most automatic control systems adopted in water treatment facilities are non-linear load which generates electrical harmonics inevitably. This study is intended to measure and analyze the electrical harmonics occurred at the chemicals control device which is inverter application circuit. and to show the effect of the harmonics filter.

A custom power device provides an integrated solution to the present problems that are faced by the utilities and power distribution. In this paper, a new controller is designed which is connected to a multiconverter unified power quality conditioner (MC-UPQC) for improving the power quality issues adopted modified synchronous reference frame (MSRF) theory with Fuzzy logic control (FLC) technique. This newly designed controller is connected to a source in order to compensate voltage and current in two feeders. The expanded concept of UPQC is multi converter-UPQC; this system has a two-series voltage source inverter and one shunt voltage source inverter connected back to back. This configuration will helps mitigate any type of voltage / current fluctuations and power factor correction in power distribution network to improve power quality issues. In the proposed system the power can be conveyed from one feeder to another in order to mitigate the voltage sag, swell, interruption and transient response of the system. The control strategies of multi converter- UPQC are designed based on the modified synchronous reference frame theory with fuzzy logic controller. The fast dynamics response of dc link capacitor is achieved with the help of Fuzzy logic controller. Different types of fault conditions are taken and simulated for the analysis and the results are compared with the conventional method. The relevant simulation and compensation performance analysis of the proposed multi converter-UPQC with fuzzy logic controller is performed.

The electrical load testing system developed from this study was designed to control rated-capacity-testing or variable-load-testing in an active and precise manner and save electric energy during testing, and also to convert the saved electric energy through the electrical load testing system to grid line. As for the device under testing, it was designed to be applied to not only transformer, rectifier, voltage regulator, inverter which require grid voltage source but, also applied to electric power, aerogenerator, photovoltaic, hybrid generator, battery, etc. which do not require grid voltage source. The system was designed to return the power consumed during the testing to the grid line by connecting the synchronizing pwm inverter circuit to the grid voltage source, and was also made to enable the being-tested system from disuse of approximately 93.4% energy when compared to the conventional load testing system which has used the passive resistor.

In PWM voltage source inverters operated by conventional switching method, the dead time is inserted in switching signals to prevent tile short circuit of the DC voltage source. The dead time causes detrimental effects to the control performance of the inverter system. So we need to compensate the dead time effects. And the dead time minimization switching method can be considered as the best way to avoid the dead time effects fundamentally. In this paper, a new switching strategy is proposed which is a kind of dead time minimization switching methods. According to the proposed switching method, very short dead time is adopted in only once when the current polarity is changing. And the adopted dead time is equal to the turn off time of the swtiching device or shorter than it. As the proposed method can be done with the polarity information of the reference current in case that the output current of the inverter is controlled, it is easy to solve some problems in comparison with the case that the real current is used to get the polarity changing time； level detection difficulty, noise problem and so on

This paper examines the damage effect and delay time of CMOS integrated circuits device with coupling caused by high power microwaves. The waveguide and magnetron was employed to study the influence of high power micro-waves on CMOS inverters. The CMOS inverters were composed of a LED circuit for visual discernment. Also CMOS inverters broken by high power microwave is observed with supply current and delay time. When the power supply current was increased 2.14 times for normal current at 9.9 kV/m, the CMOS inverter was broken by latch-up. Three different types of damage were observed by microscopic analysis: component, onchipwire, and bondwire destruction. Based on the results, CMOS inverters can be applied to database to elucidate the effects of microwaves on electronic equipment.
