Multi-level Dual Active Bridge (ML-DAB) 컨버터는 높은 스위칭 패턴 자유도를 가져 인덕터 전류의 첨두치와 RMS를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서 3-레벨 NPC DAB 컨버터의 동작원리를 분석하고, 비대칭적인 스위칭 패턴을 적용시켜 인덕터 전류의 첨두치를 수학적으로 분석하여 컨버터의 전력변환 효율을 높일 수 있는 동작점 설계 방법을 제안한다. 여러 동작점에 따른 전류 RMS 값을 비교하여 제안하는 동작점 설계 방법의 타당성을 검증하고자한다.

본 논문에서는 Modular Multi-Level Converter(MMLC)의 셀(Cell) 캐패시터(Capacitor) 전압 밸런싱에서 전압맥동 최소화 방법을 제안한다. 암(Arm) 평균 전류를 직류성분으로만 제어 할 경우 기본파 주파수와 2 고조파로 흔들리는 순시전력 항이 셀 캐패시터 전압 맥동을 만든다. 이를 억제 하기위해 암 평균 전류에 2 고조파 교류 성분을 직류성분과 함께 제어하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법을 통하여 전압맥동을 줄일 수 있음을 밝히고, 주입되는 2 고조파 전류의 크기와 위상각 계산 방법을 제시한다. 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안된 방법의 유효성을 검증하였다.

Recently, demands for large-capacity electronic loads are increasing in various industries such as a reliability test for the performance of a DC power supply device or a dummy-load for improving the stability of an independent microgrid to be actively built in the future. The electronic load required in these various fields requires an operation such as a continuously variable resistance load while minimizing the switching harmonic component generated in the electric load current in order to reduce the influence of interference from the load peripheral device. Electronic loads require a system that minimizes switching current ripple for load control. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a three-level module converter structure to reduce the current ripple of an electronic load, and a multilevel interleaved power converter topology to reduce the current ripple. The validity of the proposed electronic load, 3-level 6 interleaver converter, was verified by simulation and experiment. In addition, the user's convenience was provided by applying the emotional command curve interface method.

This paper presents a new hybrid multilevel converter topology, which consists of a combination of the series connected switched capacitor units with boost ability, and an H-bridge with T-type bidirectional switches. The proposed converter boosts the input voltage without any bulky inductors, and has the small number of components, which can make the size and cost of a power converter greatly reduced. The output filter size and harmonics are also reduced by the high quality multilevel output. In addition, there is no need for complicated methods to balance the capacitor voltage. Simulation and experimental results with a nine-level converter system are presented to validate the proposed topology and modulation method.

In this paper a novel structure of multi-level converter for reducing ripple of output voltage is proposed. In the proposed converter Buck converters are connected in series to generate the output voltage and the ripple of output voltage can be reduced compared with the exiting Buck converter. Especially when outputting lower output voltage the number of acting switching elements is less and the result of ripple reducing is more obvious. It is expected that the converter proposed in this paper can be very useful in the case of wide range of output voltage.

This study considers the design of a submodule test circuit for the modular multi-level converter (MMC)-based HVDC systems. A novel submodule test circuit is proposed to provide not only an AC but also a DC component to the submodule current. However, the current waveforms depend on the capacitor voltages. Therefore, determining the capacitance value of the test circuit is important. Finding a proper capacitance value is easy when the proposed analysis method is used. Simulation and experimental results show the usefulness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes an 18-step back-to-back (BTB) voltage source converter using four sets of 3-Level converter modules with auxiliary circuits to increase the number of steps. The proposed BTB voltage source converter has the independent control capability of active power and reactive power at the interconnected ac system. The operational feasibility of the proposed BTB converter was verified through many simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The feasibility of hardware implementation was verified through experimental results with a scaled hardware prototype. The proposed BTB converter could be widely applied for interconnecting the renewable energy source to the power grid.
