This paper describes the loss analysis based on load conditions of the air conditioning compressor motors using variable dc-link voltage. The losses of PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) should be analyzed by the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output of inverter. The harmonic loss by the PWM cannot consider that using the current source analysis of the inverter. In addition, when the voltage of dc-link is variable with the condition of variable speed and load conditions in motor, the losses of motor are also changeable, however it is hard to analyze those losses by only electromagnetic finite element method (FEM). Therefore, this paper proposes the analysis method considering the carrier frequency of the inverter and the varying state of the dc-link voltage through the FEM-control coupled analysis. Using proposed analysis method, additional core loss and eddy current loss of permanent magnet caused by PWM could be analyzed. Finally, the validity of the proposed analysis method is verified through the comparison the result of coupled analysis with experiment.

This paper proposes a grid-tied power conditioning system for fuel cell, which consists of three-phase current-fed DC-DC converter and three-phase PWM inverter. The three-phase current-fed DC-DC converter boosts fuel cell voltage of 26-48 V up to 400 V with zero-voltage switching (ZVS) scheme, while the three-phase PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) inverter controls the active and reactive power supplied to the grid. The operation of the proposed power conditioning system with fuel cell model is verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The feasibility of hardware implementation is verified through experimental works with a laboratory prototype with 1.2 kW proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack. The proposed power conditioning system can be commercialized to interconnect the fuel cell with the power grid.

This paper presents a simple carrier symmetric method for the voltage balance of flying capacitors in FCMLI(flying capacitor multi-level inverter). To achieve the voltage balance of flying capacitors, the utilization of each carrier must be balanced during a half-cycle of the switching period such as PSPWM(Phase-Shifted PWM). However, the CRPWM(Carrier Redistribution PWM) method causes the fluctuation of flying capacitor voltages because the balanced utilization of carriers is not achieved. Moreover, it does not consider that the load current change has an influence on flying capacitor voltages by assuming that the current flows into the load. To overcome the drawbacks of CRPWM, it is modified by the technique that carriers of each band are disposed symmetrically at every fundamental period. Firstly, the CRPWM method is reviewed and the theory on voltage balance of flying capacitors is analyzed. The proposed method is introduced and is verified through the experiment result.

This paper introduces an enhanced Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) technique of a single-phase Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) Multilevel Inverter (MLI) for improving the reliability and power quality of a second life battery energy storage system (ESS). The technique involves solving non-linear transcendental equations derived from Fourier series offline to determine the optimal switching angles for the proposed SHE-PWM implementation. These angles are then applied in real-time via a Look-Up Table (LUT). The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, an iterative method, is employed in MATLAB to solve the equations and obtain the switching angles. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated using PLECS simulation software and is compared with other conventional PWM techniques for MLIs.

This paper proposes an SSSC based on multi-bridge inverters in PWM scheme. The proposed system consists of 6 H-bridge inverter modules per phase. The dynamic characteristic of proposed system was analyzed by simulation with EMTP codes, assuming that the SSSC is inserted in the 154-kV transmission line of one-machine-infinite-bus power system. The feasibility of hardware implementation was verified through experimental works with a scaled-model. The proposed system can be directly inserted in the transmission line without coupling transformers, and has flexibility in expanding the operation voltage by increasing the number of H-bridges.

As the adjustable speed drives by means of PWM inverter are applied to a wider field of industries, the demands for lower acoustic noise caused by modulation is becoming more intense. With the development of high speed power semiconductor device such as the IGBTs, a higher carrier frequency can be adopted to increase the switching frequency to the supersonic range. The optimal magnitude of this signal is determined so that the sideband components near the carrier frequency are minimized

This Paper Proposes a circuit system that is capable of rejecting the zero phase voltage produced by a inverter, which transform do-ac power using high speed power semiconductor. It generates a rejecting voltage which has the same amplitude as, but the opposite phase to the zero phase voltage. The rejecting voltage is superimposed on the load line for rejecting of the zero phase voltage through a transformer. Simulation results show that the zero phase voltage applied to the load and ground current are eliminated.
