고속 철도 추진시스템의 고속화 및 급전시스템의 전력 품질향상을 위한 연구가 현재 활발히 진행되고 있으며 이를 위한 멀티레벨 전력변환기를 적용한 고속전철 추진시스템의 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문은 멀티레벨 전력변환기의 제어기법 및 공간전압벡터 변조기법(Space Vector PWM, SVPWM)의 모델을 제안한다. 단상 컨버터 제어방식으로는 널리 사용되고 있는 순시치 전류제어 방식을 대신하여, 과도상태 개선 및 제어 속응성을 향상시키기 위하여 동기좌표계에서의 전류 제어 방식을 사용한 제어기법을 적용하였으며, 단상 멜티레벨 컨버터 및 3레벨 인버터에 적용되는 SVPWM기법의 시뮬레이션 모델을 제안하고 인버터 축소모델을 통하여 모델링의 타당성을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 직류송전 적용을 위해 전력계통과 연계된 모듈형 멀터레벨 컨버터(Modular Multi-level Converter)의 유 무효 전력제어에 대해 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 분석에 고려한 모듈형 멀티레벨 컨버터는 한 암당 12개의 서브모듈로 구성되어 있고 모듈레이션은 NLC (Nearest Level Control) 방식을 사용한다. 또한 DC 커패시터의 밸런싱은 버블소팅 방식을 적용하였고 순환전류를 억제하는 알고리즘을 고려하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석한 유 무효전류제어를 실험적으로 검증하기 위해 10kVA DC 1000V 하드웨어 축소모형을 제작하고 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과는 시뮬레이션 결과와 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후에는 교류전압 불평형 보상과 순환전류 제어, 컨버터 보호에 대한 다양한 알고리즘을 도출할 예정이다.

In most inverter/converter applications SVPWM method is the preferred approach for it shows good characteristics in linear modulation range and waveform quality. in this paper we propose a new carrier based SVPWM method for multi-level system. First we survey the conventional carrier based SVPWM method and investigate the problem of the conventional one for the multi-level system with the focus on the switching frequency harmonic flux trajectories. Finally we propose a new carrier based SVPWM method that can reduce harmonic distortion. Simulation and experimental results are given for the verification of the proposed SVPWM method.

The use of high-gain-voltage step-up converters for distributed power generation systems is being popularized because of the need for new energy generation and power conversion technologies. In this study, a new constructed high-gain-boost DC-DC converter was proposed to coordinate low voltage output DC sources, such as PV or fuel cell systems, with high DC bus (380 V) lines. Compared with traditional boost DC-DC converters, the proposed converter can create higher gain and has wider input voltage range and lower voltage stress for power semiconductors and passive elements. Moreover, the proposed topology produces multilevel DC voltage output, which is the main advantage of the proposed topology. Steady-state analysis in continuous conduction mode of the proposed converter is discussed in detail. The practicability of the proposed DC-DC converter is presented by experimental results with a 300 W prototype converter.

Back-to-back STATCOM configuration is an extension of STATCOM in which the reactive power at two-sides and the real power flow through the DC link can be controlled concurrently and independently. This flexible operation brings many advantages to the micro-grids, distributed generation based systems, and deregulated power systems. In this paper, the dynamic control characteristics of the back-to-back STATCOM is investigated by simulating the detailed converter-level model of the converters in PSCAD. Various case studies in a single-machine test system are studied to present that the real power control feature of the BtB-STATCOM, even with a simple controller design, can enhance the transient stability of the machine under different fault scenarios.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a unit module for a 10 kVA class 13.2 kV/220 V unidirectional solid-state transformer (SST) with silicon-carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. The proposed module consists of an active-front-end (AFE) converter to interface 1320 V AC voltage source to 2500 V DC link and an isolated resonant DC-DC converter for 500 V low-voltage DC output. The design approaches of the AFE and the isolated resonant DC-DC converters are addressed. The control structures of the converters are described as well. The experiments for the converters are performed, and results verify that the proposed unit module can be successfully adopted for the entire SST operation.

Recently the researches on modular multi-level converter (MMC) are being highlighted because high quality and efficient power transmission have become key issues in high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. This paper proposes an improved pre-charging method for the sub-module (SM) capacitor of MMC-based HVDC systems, which operates in the nearest level control (NLC) modulation and does not need additional circuits or pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques. The feasibility of the proposed method was verified through computer simulations for a scaled 3-phase 10kVA MMC with 12 SMs per each arm. Hardware experiments with a scaled prototype have also been performed in the lab to confirm the simulation results.

This paper presents a neutral point deviation compensating control algorithm applied to a 3-level NPC converter. The neutral point deviation is analyzed with a focus on the current flowing out of or into the neutral point of the dc link. Based on the zero sequence components of the reference voltages, this paper analyzes the neutral point deviation and balancing control for 3-level NPC converter. An analytical method is proposed to calculate the injected zero sequence voltage for NP balancing based on average neutral current. This paper also proposes a control scheme compensating for the neutral point deviation under generalized unbalanced grid operating conditions. The positive and negative sequence components of the pole voltages and ac input currents are employed to accurately explain the behavior of 3-level NPC converter. Simulation and experimental results for a test set up of 30kW are shown to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm.

Phase-shedding, one famous technology for multi-phase converters, is implemented in a bi-directional multi-phase converter for ESS. It reduces active operating modules at light load to compensate efficiency. Shedding point, the load level where the converter changes the number of active modules, is important factor that affects the effect of phase-shedding. Loss analysis is done for determining shedding point. Phase-shedding hysteresis is applied so that excessive phase transition is avoided. This paper proposes shedding point correction where the shedding point is adaptively corrected by calculating a new shedding point.
