This paper introduces a control method for a transformerless MMC-HVDC system. The proposed method can effectively control the grid currents of the MMC-HVDC system under unbalanced grid conditions such as a single line-to-ground fault. The proposed method controls the currents of the positive sequence component and the negative sequence component without separating algorithms. Therefore, complicated calculations for extracting the positive sequence and the negative sequence component are not required. In addition, a control method to regulate a zero sequence component current under unbalanced grid conditions in the transformerless MMC-HVDC system is also proposed. The validity of the proposed method is verified through PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.

본 논문에서는 최근 직류송전용 컨버터로 많은 관심이 집중되고 있는 모듈형 멀티레벨 컨버터(Modular Multi-level Converter)에서 출력파형의 고조파를 저감하는 모듈레이션 방법과 각 모듈의 직류전압 불평형을 해소하는 알고리즘에 대해 기술하고 있다. 먼저 본 논문에서 임의의 개수로 반브리지 모듈이 주어졌을 때 고조파 레벨이 최소화되도록 다펄스 형태로 출력파형을 형성하는 방식을 제안하고 그 타당성을 PSCAD 소프트웨어를 이용한 시뮬레이션으로 검증하였다. 이 방식은 다펄스 출력파형의 각 계단을 형성하는 모듈의 턴온과 턴오프 시점을 보편화된 수식으로 정하는 방식으로 알고리즘 구현이 매우 용이하다. 또한 각 모듈의 직류전압 불평형을 바로잡는 알고리즘을 제안하고 그 타당성도 시뮬레이션으로 검증하였는데, 이 방식은 각 모듈이 교류 매 반주기마다 생성하는 펄스의 크기를 순차적으로 형성하는 것으로 알고리즘의 구현이 용이하다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 향후 국내에서 모듈형 멀티레벨 컨버터를 개발할 때 유용하게 활용될 것으로 보인다.

매트릭스 컨버터(Matrix Converter:MC)는 기본적으로 9개의 양방향 스위치를 이용한 전력변환장치이다. 입력 전압의 크기에 따라 일정 범위 내의 전압을 합성할 수 있으며, 다이오드 정류기를 이용하는 인버터에 비해 입력전류를 정현파로 만들 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 다수의 스위치를 이용하여 출력전압을 합성하기 때문에 제어가 복잡하다는 단점이 있으나, 반대로 여러 가지 방법으로 전압을 합성할 수 있는 가능성과 회로 구성의 확장 가능성이 크다는 장점도 있다. 본 논문에서는 입력 전압의 순시적인 선간전압을 이용한 새로운 공간 벡터 변조(Space Vector Modulation: SVM)방법을 제안하고, 기존 SVM과 동일한 구현 가능성 및 새로운 유사 멀티레벨(Multi-level) SVM으로의 확장성을 보인다. 유사 멀티레벨 SVM을 사용하였을 경우 출력 전류의 리플이 감소하고 고조파 특성이 개선됨을 Matlab 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

This paper is the research on the development of power conversion system for the fuel cell. In composing the DC/DC converters which have high boost voltage ratio, unlike the conventional method a new multi DC/DC converter system is proposed that the diode and the condenser and the reactor can be reduced by connecting the secondary side output of the transformer. In this system the rectifier part and the filter part of the secondary side in the power transformer that is connecting in series are composed into a single module, which is the strong advantage and the number of level can be easily increased. A new variable shift phase switching method is also suggested that it makes possible to reduce the output voltage ripples in the proposed system. All the factors mentioned above have been verified through simulations and experiments, and the proposed converter is considered very useful in the demanded load which requires a wide of the output.

The arm inductance (AI) of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) affects both the fault and circulating current magnitudes. In addition, it has an impact on the inverter efficiency and harmonic content. In this study, the AI of a three-phase MMC is optimized in a novel way in terms of DC voltage utilization, harmonics and efficiency. This MMC has 10 submodules (SM) per arm and the power circuit topology of the SM is a half-bridge. The optimum AI is adopted and verified in an MMC that has 100 SMs per arm. Then the phase shift (PS) and phase disposition (PD) pulse width modulation (PWM) methods are investigated for better DC voltage utilization, efficiency and harmonics. It is found that similar performances are obtained for both modulation techniques in terms of DC voltage utilization. However, the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the PS-PWM is found to be 0.02%, which is slightly lower than the THD of the PD-PWM at 0.16%. In efficiency calculations, the switching and conduction losses for all of the semiconductor are considered separately and the minimum efficiency of the 100-SM based MMC is found to be 99.62% for the PS-PWM and 99.64% for the PD-PWM with the optimal value of the AI. Simulation results are verified with an experimental prototype of a 6-SM based MMC.

Recently, the interest on power quality has been hot issue. The equipments cause voltage disturbance and has become more sensitive to the voltage disturbance. This paper deals with 5-Level H-Bridge Line-Inter active Dynamic Voltage Restorer(LIDVR) system. The LIDVR has following advantages in comparison with the DVR with series injection transformer It has the power factor near to unity under normal source voltage, can compensate the harmonic current of the load and the instant interruption, and has the fast response. First, the construction, the operation mode and algebraic modeling of LIDVR are reviewed. And then a voltage controller is proposed to get sinusoidal load voltage with constant amplitude. To find PWM method suitable for H-Bridge converter, two PWM methods are compared and analyzed. Finally, simulation results verify the proposed 5-level H-Bridge LIDVR system.

This study proposes a new test circuit and control method for the submodules of modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based HVDC systems. The test current of conventional submodule test circuits cannot provide the DC offset components or may have some distortion in the linearized current with the DC offset. The proposed scheme can provide not only the DC component but also linearized current without distortion. Therefore, the submodule test current waveform is relatively similar to that of a real submodule consisting of an MMC-based HVDC system. The validity of the proposed circuit and control method is verified through a simulation and experiment.

This paper presents multibit Sigma-Delta ADC using Leslie-Singh Structure to Improve nonlinearity of feedback loop. 4-bit flash ADC for multibit Quantization in Sigma Delta modulator offers the following advantages such as lower quantization noise, more accurate white-noise level and more stability over single quantization. For the feedback paths consisting of DAC, the DAC element should have a high matching requirement in order to maintain the linearity performance which can be obtained by the modulator with a multibit quantizer. Thus a Sigma-Delta ADC usually adds the dynamic element matching digital circuit within feedback loop. It occurs complexity of Sigma-Delta Circuit and increase of power dissipation. In this paper using the Leslie-Singh Structure for improving nonliearity of ADC. This structure operate at low oversampling ratio but is difficult to achieve high resolution. So in this paper propose improving loop filter for single-bit feedback multi-bit quantization Sigma-Delta ADC. It obtained 94.3dB signal to noise ratio over 615kHz bandwidth, and 62mW power dissipation at a sampling frequency of 19.6MHz. This Sigma Delta ADC is fabricated in 0.25um CMOS technology with 2.5V supply voltage.
