In this paper, LC output filters are designed to reduce output harmonics and harmonic analysis are peformed. Generally, multilevel inverters are used in high power application and operates with low switching frequency, which, in turn, generates large output harmonics. Output filters we used to reduce output harmonics. The design approach to reduce output harmonics of the 31eve1 multilevel inverter is discussed and DSP(TMS320C31) is used for the digital control of the system. The design example is given. The designed system is verified by simulation and experiment.

The conventional three-phase rectifier with bulky LC output filter has been widely used in the industry because of its distinctive advantages over the active power factor correction rectifier such as simple circuit, high reliability, and low cost. Over than 0.9 power factor can be achieved, which is acceptable in most of industry applications. This rectifier, however, is not easy to use for high power density applications since the LC filter is bulky and heavy. To solve this problem, a new simple rectifier is presented in this paper. By eliminating the bulky LC filter from the conventional diode rectifier without losing most of the advantages of the conventional rectifier, very high power density power conversion with high power factor can be achieved. Operation principle and design considerations are illustrated and verified by Pspice simulation and experimental results from a prototype of 3.3 kW rectifier followed by 100KHz zero voltage switching full bridge PWM converter

전원 측 전압강하/상승 (Voltage sag/swell)을 보상하기 위한 동적전압보상기(Dynamic Voltage Restorer)등의 직렬 보상기에서 스위칭으로 인한 인버터 출력전압의 맥동(ripple)을 제거하기 위해 LC 필터가 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 LC 필터에서 커패시터의 전압을 상태 궤환을 이용하여 제어하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. LC 필터의 이산시간 상태 방정식을 구한 후, 궤환 이득값을 구하는 과정이 z-평면에서 이루어진다. 그리고, 제어기의 계산지연을 고려하여, 상태 관측기를 설계한다. 제안된 제어기는 기존 직렬보상기와 달리 전류 센서를 필요로 하지 않기 때문에 경제적인 이점을 가지게 된다.

When Photovoltaic inverter is connected to grid and used as PVPCS (Photovoltaic Power Conditioning System), 120 Hz AC ripple occurs at the dc-link capacitor voltage. This AC ripple reduces the efficiency of PVPCS and shortens the lifetime of the capacitor. In this paper, we design a notch filter to remove AC ripple. As a result, the AC voltage ripple was removed from the dc link and the THD of the PVPCS output current with the notch filter was lowered. This notch filter is determined by the damping coefficient, the bandwidth coefficient, and the switching frequency. Among these, the switching frequency determines the switching loss and the size of the LC filter, and the PVPCS with the high switching frequency has a greater efficiency loss due to the switching loss than the efficiency improvement by the notch filter. Therefore, it is important to set the optimum switching frequency in the PVPCS with the notch filter applied. In this paper, THD and switching loss of PVPCS output current with notch filter are calculated through simulation, and cost function to calculate optimum switching frequency through data is proposed.

This paper reports a fractional-N phase-locked-loop(PLL) frequency synthesizer that is implemented in a $0.35-{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process and generates a quadrature signal for an FRS terminal. The synthesizer consists of a voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO), a charge pump(CP), loop filter(LF), a phase frequency detector(PFD), and a frequency divider. The VCO has been designed with an LC resonant circuit to provide better phase noise and power characteristics, and the CP is designed to be able to adjust the pumping current according to the PFD output. The frequency divider has been designed by a 16-divider pre-scaler and fractional-N divider based on the third delta-sigma modulator($3^{rd}$ DSM). The LF is a third-order RC filter. The measured results show that the proposed device has a dynamic frequency range of 460~510 MHz and -3.86 dBm radio-frequency output power. The phase noise of the output signal is -94.8 dBc/Hz, and the lock-in time is $300{\mu}s$.

This paper proposed that the conventional three phase AC-DC converter with bulk LC output filter has been widely used in the industry because of simple circuit, low cost and high power factor (90%). One of the biggest drawback of this three phase AC-DC converter is bulk and heavy. This is serious especially for aerospace applications. To solve this problem a new simple three phase AC-DC converter is presented. Operation of the proposed high power factor three phase AC-DC converter is illustrated and verified by PSpice simulation.

This paper compares the output voltage control strategies of three-phase PWM inverter for uninterruptible power supply. The feedforward control, feedforward/feedback control, and decoupled feedback control in both the synchronous reference frame and the stationary reference frame are examined. In particular, it is shown that the response of the decoupled feedback controller in the synchronous reference frame can be improved by pole-zero cancellation method. It is also shown that the pole-zero cancellation method reduces to the deadbeat control, when it is implemented with digital controller.
