Many voltage sag compensators have been introduced, including the traditional dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), which requires an energy storage device but is inadequate for compensating deep and long-duration voltage sags. The AC-AC sag compensators introduced next do not require a storage device and they are capable of compensating voltage sags. This type of compensator needs an AC-AC converter to regulate the output voltage. Presented in this paper is a three-phase PWM-switched autotransformer voltage sag compensator based on an AC-AC converter that uses a proposed detection technique and PWM voltage control as a controller. Its effectiveness and capability in instantly detecting and compensating voltage sags were verified via MATLAB/Simulink simulations and further investigated through a laboratory prototype developed with a TMS320F2812 DSP as the main controller.

An interleaved single-stage AC/DC converter with a boost converter and an asymmetrical half-bridge topology is presented to achieve power factor correction, zero voltage switching (ZVS) and load voltage regulation. Asymmetric pulse-width modulation (PWM) is adopted to achieve ZVS turn-on for all of the switches and to increase circuit efficiency. Two ZVS half-bridge converters with interleaved PWM are connected in parallel to reduce the ripple current at input and output sides, to control the output voltage at a desired value and to achieve load current sharing. A center-tapped rectifier is adopted at the secondary side of the transformers to achieve full-wave rectification. The boost converter is operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to automatically draw a sinusoidal line current from an AC source with a high power factor and a low current distortion. Finally, a 240W converter with the proposed topology has been implemented to verify the performance and feasibility of the proposed converter.

PWM AC/DC 컨버터에서 입력 전원측에서 제어보드까지 거리가 상당히 멀리 떨어져 있는 경우, 입력 전압의 신호케이블은 매우 길고 복잡하게 설치되며 외부 노이즈에 노출되기 쉽다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 무선 전압 센서를 제안한다. 무선 전압 센서는 전압 센서에서 측정된 신호를 제어보드까지 유선 케이블로 전송하지 않고, 무선 신호로 전송한다. 따라서 입력전원측이 원거리에 있더라도 쉽게 설치할 수 있고 외부 노이즈에 대한 면역성이 강한 PWM AC/DC 컨버터를 제공한다.

본 논문에서는 PWM ac-dc 컨버터의 출력직류전압 안정화를 위한 새로운 방식의 입력전류 제어기법에 대해 기술하였다. 제안한 방식의 전류제어 기법은 히스테리시스 전류제어기가 갖는 장점을 모드 갖고 있을 뿐 아니라 스위칭 손실도 최소화되는 특성을 갖는다. 기존의 히스테리시스 전류제어기와 다른 점은 PWM 컨버터 각 상 입력전류의 반주기 내에 1/3구간에서는 컨버터의 스위칭 소자가 PWM에 의한 스위칭이 이루어지지 않는다는 것이다. 더군다나 입력전류의 피크값 근처에서 스위칭이 발생하지 않으므로 한 주기 평균 스위칭 손실을 최소로 할 수 있다는 것이 특징이다. 이러한 동작 원리에 대한 설명과 제안한 방식의 특성을 해석하였으며 실험을 통하여 그 효용성을 입증하였다.

This paper describes a current regulated PWM boost type rectifier based on modified trapezoidal PWM. Each switch of a converter has no switching for one third period of a fundamental line current. Therefore, the switching loss of the proposed scheme is less than that of the hysteresis current controller. Operating principle is described and controller. Operating principle is described and simulations and experiments are carried out.

This paper proposes a new capacitance estimation scheme for a DC-link capacitor in a three-phase AC/DC/AC PWM converter. A controlled AC voltage with a lower frequency than the line frequency is injected into the DC-link voltage, which then causes AC power ripples at the DC side. By extracting the AC voltage and power components on the DC output side using digital filters, the capacitance can then be calculated using the Support Vector Regression (SVR). By training of SVR, a function which relates a given input (capacitor's power) and its corresponding output (capacitance value) can be derived. This function is used to predict outputs for given inputs that are not included in the training set. The proposed method does not require the information of DC-link current and can be simply implemented with only software and no additional hardware. Experimental results confirm that the estimation error is less than 0.16%.

This study focuses on a high-performance direct active and reactive power controller design that is successfully applicable to three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) AC/DC converters used in renewable distributed energy generation systems. The proposed controller can overcome the sluggish transient dynamic response of conventional controllers to rapid power command changes. Desired active and reactive powers can be thoroughly obtained at the end of each PWM period through a deadbeat solution. The proposed controller achieves an exact nonlinear cross-coupling decoupling of system power without using a predefined switching table or bang/bang hysteresis control. A graphical and analytical analysis that naturally leads to a control voltage vector selection is provided to confirm the finding. The proposed control strategy is evaluated on a 3 kW PWM AC/DC converter in the simulation and experiment.
