Multi-level inverters are now receiving widespread interest form the industrial drives for high power variable speed applications. Especially, for the high power variable speed applications, a diode clamped multi-level inverter has been widely used. However, it has the inherent problem that the voltage of the link capacitors fluctuates. This paper describes a voltage control scheme effectively to suppress the DC-link potential fluctuation for a diode clamped four-level inverter. The current to flow from/into the each link capacitor is analyzed and the operation limit is obtained when a conventional SVPWM is used. To overcome the operation limit, a modified carrier-based SVPWM is proposed. Various simulation and experiment results are presented to verify the proposed voltage control scheme for DC-link voltage balancing.

본 논문은 현재까지 전적으로 수입에 의존하던 국내 교류 전동차용 추진제어장치(Converter/Inverter)를 대용량 IPM 스위칭 소자를 적용하여 개발된 시스템을 제안한다. 컨버터의 용량을 향상시키기 위해 2대의 PWM 컨버터를 병렬 운전하고 병렬 운전 시 각각의 컨버터 스위칭 각을 다르게 제어하여 고조파 함유를 줄였으며 DC-Link 단의 Beatless 제어를 수행하였다. VVVF 인버터 제어의 경우, 저속의 운전영역에서는 순시 토크 제어가 가능한 백터제어를 적용하고, 고속 운전 영역에서는 슬립 주파수제어를 적용하는 백터 제어와 스칼라 제어의 병용 제어기법을 제시하였다. 제시된 추진제어장치는 4대의 210kW 유도전동기를 이용하여 철도차량용 추진제어장치에 적용되는 관련 규격의 각종 시험을 통해 그 성능을 검증하였다.

This paper proposes the pulse width modulation (PWM) control strategy for low-speed operation in the three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverters based on the bootstrap gate drive circuit. As a purpose of the cost reduction, several papers have paid attention to the bootstrap circuit applied to the three-level NPC inverter. However, the bootstrap gate driver IC cannot generate the gate signal to the IGBT for low-speed operation, because the bootstrap capacitor voltage decreases under the threshold level. For low-speed operation, the dipolar and partial-dipolar modulations can be the effective solution. However, these modulations have drawbacks in terms of the switching loss and THD. Therefore, this paper proposes the PWM control strategy to operate the inverter at low-speed and to minimize the switching loss and harmonics. The experimental results are presented to verify the validity on the proposed method.

The application of A.C. motor to servo system is rapidly increased according to the recent advance of power electronics and digital control techniques. The induction motor which has a simple structure and needs less maintenance is used in the industrial field for the variable speed and position control recently. In this paper, the current characteristic of the full-bridge resonant inverter is studied by comparing with the computer simulation and the laboratory experiment when the ratio of forced frequency to the natural frequency and the ratio of conduction time to the period at the given frequency is changed. And then, the full-bridge resonant inverter is applied to the speed control of single phase induction motor.

Recently many studies have been performed for variable speed control of induction motor. Direct Torque Control(DTC) is emerging technique for variable speed control of PWM inverter driven induction motor. DTC allows the direct control of stator flux and instantaneous torque through simple algorithm. In this paper ASIC design technique using VHDL is applied to DTC based speed control of induction motor. ASIC for DTC based speed control is designed through the description of coordinate transformation, speed controller stator flux and torque estimator, stator flux and torque controller, stator flux position detector. FSM(Finite State Machine) and inverter voltage switching vector. Finally the above system has been implemented on the FPGA (XC4052XL-PG411). Simulation and experiment has been performed to verify the performance of the designed ASTC.

Self-controlled permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has similar operating characteristics as seperately excited dc motor. It is favored in servo applications due to its improvement of efficiency and maintenance. This paper presents completely digitalized controller using microprocessor and voltage fed inverter. The speed control system for PMSM is implemented. To control the motor speed, the control system regulates the magnitude of Inverter output voltage by regular-sampled PWM method to generate sinusoidal PWM wave with microprocessor. And to keep the range of inverter switching frequency, it varies the number of pulse train according to the speed.

The HVAC(Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning) system is controlled by two ways, one is ON/OFF control and the other is PWM inverter with V/F. Control of blower with the use of PWM inverter has quite some benefits such as the capability of changing speed, high efficiency and reduced noise level compared with ON/OFF control. But if blower is operated at low speed, high THD generated by decrease of ma, and output voltage lowered in proportion to frequency. To solve these problems, filter should be installed at the output stage of inverter, which can decrease THD but has problems such as increase of volume size and additional braking resistance. This paper proposes the PWAM method which can reduce THD instead of installing the filter at the output stage of inverter. The proposed PWAM method is an inverter modulation method that fixes the modulation index of inverter to reduce THD by varying DC link voltage of inverter unlike conventional PWM method. Finally, the validity of proposed PWAM methods verified by experiments.

In this paper, the analysis on type effect of inverter output voltage distortion on the control of an induction motor is discussed. The inverter output voltage is distorted differently from the reference voltage owing to the inverter nonlinear characteristic. The inverter nonlinear characteristic results from the voltage drop, the inherent characteristic of the power semiconductor, and the dead time for preventing the short circuit of the inverter leg. This characteristic distorts the inverter output voltage and then, causes the motor flux estimation error. Although this characteristics do not significantly effect in the general-purpose induction motor control, but significantly effect on the low-speed operation of high performance motor control such as the sensorless vector control.

To reduce the size and cost of motor driving systems, several methods for driving multiple parallel-connected motors with a single inverter have been proposed. However, dual PMSMs driven by a single inverter, unlike induction motors, have a problem with instability due to system resonance caused by disturbances such as load imbalance and tolerances between two motors. To drive dual SPMSMs fed by a single inverter, this paper proposes an active damping algorithm to effectively suppress resonance by using one-sided sensorless speed control and position difference estimation. By deriving rotor position difference from d-q current differences between two motors, the proposed method is affected less by position difference estimation errors and is simpler than dual sensorless position estimation.

This paper presents a modeling and simulation of a fuzzy controller for maximum power extraction of a grid-connected wind energy conversion system with a link of a rectifier and an inverter. It discusses the maximum power control algorithm for a wind turbine and proposes, in a graphical form, the relationships of wind turbine output, rotor speed, power coefficient, tip-speed ratio with wind speed when the wind turbine is operated under the maximum power control. The control objective is to always extract maximum power from wind and transfer the power to the utility by controlling both the pitch angle of the wind turbine blades and the inverter firing angle. Pitch control method is mechanically complicated, but the control performance is better than that of the stall regulation method. The simulation results performed on MATLAB will show the variation of generator's rotor angle and rotor speed, pitch angle, and generator output.
