The conventional APF(Active Power Filter) system performs only function which is compensated for source harmonic by injecting harmonic compensation current as well as reactive power component by PWM. This paper presents a new APF which provides the combined functions of VC(Voltage Compensator) and conventional APF, because the structure of APF is similar to stand- alone UPS in parallel type. Single-chip microprocessor plays an important role in controlling each function. Simulation obtained from ACSL are shown to verify multi-functions of new APP.

This study presents a novel transformer isolated parallel connected quasi Z-source (qZ-source) full-bridge DC-DC converter that uses a coupled inductor in both the qZ-source network and output filter inductor. Unlike traditional voltage-fed or current-fed converters, the proposed converter can be open- and short-circuited without damaging switching devices. Therefore, the desired buck and boost functions can be achieved and converter reliability can be significantly improved. All the bulky inductors in the qZ-source network and output filter can also be minimized with the proposed inductor structures. A 4 kW prototype DC-DC converter is built and tested to verify the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper proposes a design method using PQR instantaneous power theory on the active power filter, unbalanced nonlinear load condition and unbalanced source voltage condition in three-phase four-wire systems. For reduction of current harmonics and neutral current, the control structure including repetitive controller is proposed and controller gain is designed. For fully-digital implementation, ramp comparison PWM method was adopted. Simulation results verify good performance of the proposed current control strategy on the shunt APFs.

기존 LCL 필터 설계 방법의 경우, 시뮬레이션에 기반한 반복 과정을 통해 필터 파라미터를 최적화므로 많은 시간이 소요된다. 하지만 본 논문에서는 3상 PWM 인버터와 LCL 필터 분석을 통해 설계 시 고려 사항을 단순화할 수 있다. 또한 LCL 필터의 다양한 제약 조건을 파악하고, 이러한 조건 하에서 제작 비용을 최소화할 수 있는 해석 해(analytical solution)를 도출한다. 결과적으로 제안된 단계적(step-by-step) 설계 방법을 통해 빠른 시간내에 최적화된 LCL 필터를 선정할 수 있다. 제안된 방법의 유효성은 시뮬레이션을 통해 최종 검증하였다.

In this paper, filters are designed to reduce transients overvoltage in inverter fed high-voltage large-capacity induction motor drive system. Design issues for a LCR filter at the inverter output terminals to reduce the dv/dt of the inverter output pulse and a RC filter at the induction motor input terminals to match the characteristic impedance between cable and induction motor are examined in detail. These filters are modeled to be suitable to high-voltage large-capacity induction motor. The performance of the filter is evaluated through simulation using EMTP(ElectroMagnetic Transients Program). We presented filters that used high voltage large-capacity induction Motor on the basis of this. Effect of the filter is analyzed for variation of the cable length. Characteristics of filters are analyzed to reduce harmonic in voltage waveform of induction motor input terminal. The switching surge voltage became the major cause to occur the insulation failure by serious voltage stress in the stator winding of induction motor. Filter for to mitigate transients overvoltage presents a required component in drive system of high-voltage large-capacity induction motor. Also, proposed filters are proved through simulation using EMTP.

This paper presents a new prototype of soft-switching DC-DC power converter with a high frequency transformer link which has two active power controlled switches in full bridge rectifier with capacitor input type smoothing filter. In this DC-DC converter, ZVS of the inverter in transformer primary side and ZCS of active rectifier area in secondary side can be completely achieved by taking advantage of parasitic inductor component of high-frequency transformer and loss less snubbing capacitors. Its operation principle and salient features are described. The steady-state operating characteristics of the proposed DC-DC power converter are illustrated and discussed on the basis of the simulation results in addition to the experimental ones obtained by 2kw-40kHz power converter breadboard set up.

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

This paper describes a load simulator with power recovery capability, which is based on the voltage source converter-inverter set. The load simulator can save the electric energy that should be consumed to test the operation and performance of the power quality compensator and the power equipment. The load simulator consists of a converter-inverter set with a DSP controller for system control and PWM pulse generation. The converter operates as a universal load to model the linear load and the non-linear load, while the inverter feed the energy back to the power source with harmonic compensation. the performance of proposed load simulator was analyzed with scaled-model experiment, interconnected with the active power filter. The experimental results confirms that the proposed load simulator can be utilized to test the performance of active power filter.

In the dissertation, a power conversion system for fuel cell is composed of a PWM inverter with LC filter in order to convert fuel cell voltage to a single phase 220[V], In addition, new insulated DC-DC converters are proposed in order that fuel cell voltage is boosted to 380[V]. In this paper, it requires smaller components than existing converters, which makes easy control. The proposed DC-DC converter controls output power by the adjustment of phase-shift width using switch S5 and S6 in the secondary switch, which provides 93-97[%] efficiency in the wide range of output voltage. Fuel cell simulator is implemented to show similar output characteristics to actual fuel cell. Appropriate dead time td enables soft switching to the range where the peak value of excitation current in a high frequency transformer is in accordance with current in the primary circuit. Moreover, appropriate setting to serial inductance La reduces communication loss arisen at light-load generator and serge voltage arisen at a secondary switch and serial diode. Finally, TMS320C31 board and EPLD using PWM switching technique to act a single phase full-bridge inverter which is planed to make alternating current suitable for household.
