This paper proposes a novel current control strategy on active power filters using PQR instantaneous power theory which can compensate the line current harmonics and the neutral line current under the unbalanced and/or distorted source conditions in three-phase four-wire systems. The characteristics of the inverter ac filters are analyzed and a novel digital controller are proposed to overcome the inherent time delay problem in digital controllers with designed control gain in this paper. The proposed current control method is based on a sinusoidal PWM for fully-digital implementation compared with a conventional hysteresis PWM. PSiM simulation results verify the good performance of the proposed current control strategy on shunt type APFs.

In this paper, the proposed full-bridge high frequency isolated zoo voltage and zero current switching phase shifted pulse width modulation(ZVZCS PS-PWM)DC-DC converter among fuel cell generation system consist of 1.2[kW] fuel cell of Nexa Power Module, full-bridge DC-DC converter to boost the fuel cell low voltage($28{\sim}43[%]$) to 380[VDC] and a single phase full-bridge inverter is implemented to produce AC output(220[VAC], 60[Hz]). A tapped inductor filter with freewheeling diode is newly implemented in the output filter of the proposed full-bridge high frequency isolated ZVZCS PS-PWM DC-DC converter to suppress circulating current under the wide output voltage regulation range, thus to eliminate the switching and transformer turn-on/off over-short voltage or transient phenomena. Besides the efficiency of $93{\sim}97[%]$ is obtained over the wide output voltage regulation ranges and load variations.

This paper describes a design method of LCL filter for grid-connected three-phase PWM inverter. First, by analyzing the ripple component of phase voltages and currents according to the PWM pattern of grid-connected three-phase inverter, the RMS value of the current ripple can be calculated. Then based on the analysis, the current THD in the inverter-side can be defined. After that by analyzing the dependency between the current THD of the system and the current ripple attenuation, the parameter of LCL filter can be designed. Finally, the described LCL filter design method is verified by showing a good agreement between the target current $THD_g$ and the actual one through the simulation and experiment.

In this paper, a new single phase voltage sag/swell compensator using direct power conversion is introduced. A new compensator consists of input/output filter, series transformer and direct ac-ac converter, which is a single-phase back-to-back PWM converter without dc-link capacitors. Advantages of the proposed compensator include: simple power circuit by eliminating dc-link electrolytic capacitors and thereby, improved reliability and increased life time of the entire compensator; simple PWM strategy to compensate voltage sag/swell at the same time and reduced switching losses in the ac-ac converter. Further, the proposed scheme is able to adopt simple switch commutation method without requiring complex four-step commutation method commonly required in the direct power conversion. Simulation results are shown to demonstrate the advantages of the new compensator and PWM strategy.

3상 PWM 컨버터에서 LCL필터 필름 커패시터는 Self-healing 메커니즘에 의해 열화가 진행되며, 이는 시스템의 필터성능과 역률 저하로 이어진다. 따라서 계통측 커패시터의 고장을 판단하고 교체시기를 결정하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 정전용량의 80%에 해당하는 공진주파수를 한 주기 동안 주입하였을 때 나타나는 응답의 변화를 통해 커패시터의 열화고장진단 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

This paper presents the high performance real time control system of PWM inverter for uninterruptible power supply(UPS). This system is based on a digital control scheme which calculates the pulse widths of the inverter switches for the next sampling time in digital signal processor(DSP). A PI compensator is used to eliminate the voltage error caused by the difference between the actual values of LC filter and those designed. Double regulation loops which are the inner current loop and the outer voltage loop are used to make the transient response time reduce in load disturbance and nonlinear load. This method makes it possible to obtain better response in comparison to conventional digital control system. The proposed scheme provides good performance such as stable operation, low THD of the output voltage, and good dynamic response for load variations and nonlinear load.

In this paper, a capacitance estimation scheme for DC-link capacitors for single-phase AC/DC PWM converters is proposed. Under the no-load condition, a controlled AC current (30[Hz]) is injected into the input side, which then causes AC voltage ripples at the DC output side. Or, a controlled AC voltage can be directly injected into the DC output side. By extracting the AC voltage/current and power components on the DC output side using digital filters, the capacitance value can be calculated, where the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm is used. The proposed methods can be simply implemented with software only and additional hardware is not required. From the experiment results, a high accuracy estimation of capacitances less than 0.85% has been obtained.

A low-power low-cost polar transmitter for EDGE is designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS. A differential delta-sigma modulator (DSM) tunes a three-terminal voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to perform RF phase modulation, where the VCO tuning curve is digitally pre-compensated for high linearity and the carrier frequency is calibrated by a dual-mode low-power frequency-locked loop (FLL). A digital intermediate-frequency (IF) pulse-width5 modulator (PWM) drives a complementary power-switch followed by an LC filter to achieve envelope modulation with high efficiency. The proposed transmitter with 9mW power dissipation relaxes the time alignment between the phase and envelope modulations, and achieves an error vector magnitude (EVM) of 4% and phase noise of -123dBc/Hz at 400kHz offset frequency.

For fast response of the dc output voltage in PWM converter, the relationship of power balance of both the input and output should be introduced to the system modeling. Then, a nonlinear control theory using state feedback linearization is useful to control the system. By nonlinear control, the voltage response can be fast, so the size of the output filter capacitor can be reduced as long as the same response is kept. The validity of the proposed scheme is shown from the simulation results.
