This paper presents a comparative analysis of two inverter power supply topologies for induction heating and melting applications. The comparison is based on criteria such as resonant condition, component ratings, minimum and maximum operating frequencies, operation under varying load conditions, inverter starting current, and diode reverse recovery time. The voltage source series/parallel resonant inverters are found to offer the best overall performance with respect to converter utilization.

최근 초고속 전동기는 시스템의 크기를 줄이고 에너지 변환 효율을 높이고자 산업계에서 많이 쓰이고 있다. 그러나 초고속 전동기의 경우 상 인덕턴스($L_s$)가 기존의 저속 모터의 상 인덕턴스에 비해 매우 작기 때문에 PWM에 의한 전류 맥동이 커지게 되고, 이로 인해 철손이 기존의 저속 전동기에 비해 커지는 문제점이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 9개의 결합 인덕터를 이용하여 3개의 PWM 인버터 병렬 운전 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 하나의 인버터를 사용할 때에 비해 전류 맥동은 크게 줄일 수 있으며, 인덕터에 의한 전압 강하는 방지할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 시스템의 출력 전압을 수식을 통해 분석한 후, 실험 결과를 통해 유효성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents DG based droop controlled parallel inverter systems with virtual impedance considering the unequal resistive-inductive combined line impedance condition. This causes a reactive power sharing error and dynamic performance degradation. Each of these drawbacks can be solved by adding the feedforward term of each line impedance voltage drop or injecting the virtual inductor. However, if the line impedances are high enough because of the long distance between the DG and the PCC or if the capacity of the system is large so that the output current is very large, this leads to a high virtual inductor voltage drop which causes reductions of the output voltage and power. Therefore, the line impedance voltage drops and the virtual inductor and resistor voltage drop compensation methods have been considered to solve these problems. The proposed method has been verified in comparison with the conventional droop method through PSIM simulation and low-scale experimental results.

The parallel operation system of UPS is used to increase reliability of power source at critical load. But parallel UPS system has a few defects, impedance is different from each other and circulating current occurs between UPSs, due to line impedance and parameter variation, though controlled by the same synchronization signal. According to such characteristic of parallel UPS, balanced load-sharing control is the most important technique in parallel UPS operation. In this paper, a novel power deviation compensation algorithm is proposed. it is composed of voltage controller to compensate power deviation that be calculated by using active and reactive current deviation between inverters on synchronous d-q reference frame.

발전설비의 대형화로 인하여 전력절감 문제가 크게 대두되었고, 팬이나 펌프를 부하 변화에 따라 속도제어하므로써 전기 에너지를 절약 할 수 있다. 1MVA급 단위 인버터 2대를 병렬 운전하여 대용량 2MVA GTO 인버터를 구현하였으며, 단위 인버터의 병렬 운전은 2대의 출력변압기 2차측 결선을 직렬 연결하여 구현하였다. 개발된 시스템은 제어반, 정류기반, 2대의 인버터반으로 구성되어 있으며, 이 시스템은 한국전력공사 성인천복합화력발전처 해수펌프 구동 유도전동기(6.6KV 1500KW)에 적용되어 전력절감에 기여하고 있다. 또 단위 인버터가 상호 180$^{\circ}$위상차를 갖도록 병렬 운전하므로써 고조파 성분을 저감시키면서 대용량을 구현하였다.

Anti-islanding scheme of grid-connected inverter is a key function of standards compliance, since unintentional islanding results in safety hazards, reliability, and many other issues. Therefore, many anti-islanding schemes have been researched, however, most of them have problems, which deteriorate performance of islanding detection under parallel-operation. Therefore, this paper proves the reason of problems and proposes a new anti-islanding scheme that has precise islanding detection under parallel-operation in single-phase and three-phase system. Finally, both simulation and experimental result validate the proposed scheme.

This study proposes a new solution for the parallel operation of microgrid inverters in terms of circuit topology and control structure. A combined three-phase four-wire inverter composed of three single-phase full-bridge circuits is adopted. Moreover, the control structure is based on adaptive three-order sliding-mode control and wireless load-sharing control. The significant contributions are as follows. 1) Adaptive sliding-mode control performance in inner voltage loop can effectively reject both voltage and load disturbances. 2) Virtual resistive-output-impedance loop is applied in intermediate loop to achieve excellent power-sharing accuracy, and load power can be shared proportionally to the power rating of the inverter when loads are unbalanced or nonlinear. 3) Transient droop terms are added to the conventional power outer loop to improve dynamic response and disturbance rejection performance. Finally, theoretical analysis and test results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Proportional capacitor-current-feedback active damping (AD) is a common damping method for the resonance of LCL-type grid-connected inverters. Proportional capacitor-current-feedback AD behaves as a virtual resistor in parallel with the capacitor. However, the existence of delay in the actual control system causes impedance in the virtual resistor. Impedance is manifested as negative resistance when the resonance frequency exceeds one-sixth of the sampling frequency ($f_s/6$). As a result, the damping effect disappears. To extend the system damping region, this study proposes a virtual resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) AD method. The method is implemented by feeding the filter capacitor current passing through a band-pass filter, which functions as a virtual RLC in parallel with the filter capacitor to achieve positive resistance in a wide resonance frequency range. A combination of Nyquist theory and system close-loop pole-zero diagrams is used for damping parameter design to obtain optimal damping parameters. An experiment is performed with a 10 kW grid-connected inverter. The effectiveness of the proposed AD method and the system's robustness against grid impedance variation are demonstrated.

LCL filters are widely used in high-order harmonics attenuation of output currents in grid-connected inverters. However, output currents of grid-connected inverters with LCL filters can become unstable because of the resonance of the filters. Given that the characteristics of output currents in inverters mostly depend on filter performance, the exact analysis of filters by considering parasitic components is necessary for both harmonics attenuation and current control. LCL filters have three or four parasitic components: the series and/or parallel resistance of the filter capacitor and the series resistance of the two filter inductors. Most studies on LCL filters have focused on the parasitic components of the filter capacitor. Although several studies have addressed the parasitic components of the filter inductor at the inverter side, no study has yet investigated the concurrent effects of series resistance in both filter inductors in detail. This paper analyzes LCL filters by considering series resistance in both filter inductors; it proposes an active damping method based on the virtual series resistance of LCL filters. The performance of the proposed active damping is then verified through both simulation and experiment using Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulator(HILS).
