In this paper a control method to compensate the fluctuation in source voltage by using reactive current is presented. When the source voltage is changed within $\pm$10[%] range, the unit power factor is carried out. Otherwise, the converter is controlled by variable power factor. By using above control, the converter input voltage is maintained constantly. And then it was certified by simulation with the ACSL and several experiments.

In this paper, a three-phase active power filter using voltage- source PWM converter is designed to eliminate the harmonics and compensate the reactive power in the ac side. The predictive current control method is adopted, which provides constant switching frequency and low current ripple but has inherently one sampling error between the command and the actual current. Here we propose the algorithm which corrects this delay time. The converter voltage obtained from this current control can be accomplished by the space vector modulation method at a voltage-type converter. All control sequences of active filter is executed by a DSP which is designed to calculate floating points at very hight speed. Finally, the validity of this filter using the predictive current control method is demonstrated through experimental results.

Therefore, the proposed PWM power inverter has advantages such as the reduction of witching loss and realization of unity power factor operation. The theoretical backgrounds are discussed and the input-output characteristics for the implemented prototype inverter using TMS320F2812 are verified experimentally in this paper.

Recently, a fuel cell with low voltage and high current output characteristics is remarkable for new generation system. It needs both a DC-DC step-up converter and DC-AC inverter to be used in fuel cell generation system. Therefor, this paper, consists of an isolated DC-DC converter to boost the fuel cell voltage 380[VDC] and a PWM inverter with LC filter to convent the DC voltage to single-phase 220[VAC]. Expressly, The fuel cell system which it proposes DC-DC the efficient converter used PWM the phase transient control law and it depended to portion resonance ZVS switching, loss peek voltage and electric current of realization under make schedule, switching frequency anger and the switch reduction.

Given their structural arrangement, photovoltaic (PV) modules exhibit parasitic capacitance, which creates a path for high-frequency current during zero-state switching of the converter in transformerless systems. This current has to be limited to ensure safety and electromagnetic compatibility. Many solutions that can minimize or completely avoid this phenomenon, are available. However, most of these solutions are patented because they rely on specific and often complex converter topologies. This study aims to solve this problem by introducing a solution based on a classic converter topology with an appropriate modulation technique and passive filtering. A 5.5 kW single-phase residential PV system that consists of DC-DC boost stage and DC-AC H-bridge converter is considered. Control schemes for both converter stages are presented. An overview of existing modulation techniques for H-bridge converter is provided, and a modification of hybrid modulation is proposed. A system prototype is built for the experimental verification. As shown in the study, with simple filtering and proper selection of switching states, achieving low leakage current level is possible while maintaining high converter efficiency and required energy quality.

A phase-shift full-bridge converter is widely used conventional converter. If the input power change in the variation of the output voltage, there is a time interval freewheeling according to a duty change. This is a factor of reducing the efficiency. In this paper, we propose a method for improving the efficiency of the converter/inverter systems that require high efficiency in the ESS. The proposed method was used for the duty control for solving the fail problem ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) in Freewheeling interval. The proposed method was verified by experiments.

Digital signal processors(DSP) are widely used in modern power conversion devices, ac motor drives. However, generating pulse-width modulation(PWM) gating signals requires so high sampling rates that most computation resources of the DSP must be devoted to generating them. This paper presents an ASIC realization of 2 channel space-vector PWM(SVPWM). The developed DSP(ECLDSP) board can transmit gating signals to 2 converter/inverter and control them. ECLDSP board is used for control the various kinds of power-quality improvement systems.

This paper investigates an economic and highly efficient power converter topology and its modulation scheme for 60kW rapid EV charger system. The target system consists of three-phase three-switch buck-type rectifier topology. A new Carrier Based PWM scheme along with its simple implementation using logic gates is introduced in this paper. This PWM scheme replaces the diode rectifier equivalent switching state with an active switching state producing the effectively same current flowing path. As a result, the distortion of input current during the polarity reversal of capacitor line voltage can be mitigated. The proposed modulation technique is confirmed through simulation verification. The proposed modulation technique and its implementation scheme can expand the operation range of the three-phase three-switch buck-type rectifier having ac input and capacitor ripple current of high quality.

This paper proposes an inverter for the grid-connected photovoltaic system based on the transformer-less inverter. This system consists of a high frequency converter bridge, high frequency transformer, diode bridge rectifiers, a DC filter, a low frequency inverter bridge, and an AC filter. The high frequency converter bridge switching at 20kHz is used to generate bipolar PWM pulse, and the high frequency transformer raise its voltage twice, which is subsequently rectified by diode bridge rectifiers to result in a full-wave rectified sine wave. Finally, it is unfolded by a low frequency inverter bridge to result in a 60Hz sine wave power output. Even though the high frequency link system needs more power semiconductors, a reduced size, light weight, and saved parts cost make this system more comparative than the other systems due to elimination of 60Hz transformer.
