A new capacitor-input type voltage source rectifier is proposed in this paper. The proposed rectifier is based upon 6-pulse diode rectifier with the addition of an auxiliary circuit. By proper operation of the switches of the auxiliary circuit, the input voltage waveform has 18-pulse characteristics and the input current becomes almost sinusoidal due to input ac reactors. The operating principle along with current analysis and input voltage waveform synthesis is described. The experimental results from a laboratory prototype verify the proposed concept.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze losses because of switching devices and the secondary side circuit diodes of 500 W full bridge dc-dc converter by applying gallium nitride (GaN) field-effect transistor (FET), which is one of the wide band gap devices. For the detailed device analysis, we translate the specific resistance relation caused by the GaN FET material property into algebraic expression, and investigate the influence of the GaN FET structure and characteristic on efficiency and system specifications. In addition, we mathematically compare the diode rectifier circuit loss, which is a full bridge dc-dc converter secondary side circuit, with the synchronous rectifier circuit loss using silicon metal-oxide semiconductor (Si MOSFET) or GaN FET, which produce the full bridge dc-dc converter analytical value validity to derive the final efficiency and loss. We also design the heat sink based on the mathematically derived loss value, and suggest the heat sink size by purpose and the heat divergence degree through simulation.

This paper presents a prototype of three-phase current source zero voltage soft-switching PWM controlled PFC rectifier with Single Active Auxiliary Resonant Commutated Snubber (ARCS) circuit topology. The proposed three-phase PFC rectifier with sinewave current shaping and unity power factor scheme can operate under a condition of Zero Voltage Soft Switching (ZVS) in the main three phase rectifier circuit and zero current soft switching (ZCS) in auxiliary snubber circuits. The operating principle and steady-state performances of the proposed three-phase current source soft-switching PWM controlled PFC rectifier controlled by the DSP control implementation are evaluated and discussed on the basis of the experimental results of this active rectifier setup.

본 논문에서는 기존의 역율 보상회로에 비해 성능이 좋은 역율 보상 고효율 PWM 단상 정류기를 제안하였다. 제안한 정류기의 설계를 용이하게 하기위한 설계 가이드라인을 상세히 제시하였으며, 제안한 정류기의 특성을 실험으로 증명하였다. 제안한 정류기는 주 전류가 흐르는 선로 구성에서 2개의 주스위치만 존재하므로 도통손을 상당히 감소 시켰으며, 또한 단일 ZVT 회로를 통해 스위칭 손실을 감소시켰다. 제안한 정류기는 부스트 컨버터형의 같은 IGBT 모듈을 사용하므로 주 회로 구성도 간단할 뿐만 아니라, 주 스위치와 보조스위치의 게이트 전원을 제어전원과 공유할 수 있어 단일 제어전원으로 전체 시스템을 제어하므로 시스템의 크기를 보다 콤팩트하게 할 수 있는 특성을 지니고 있다.

This paper deals with a novel method of modeling and analyzing multilevel pulse width modulation(PWM) inverter/rectifier, which leads to extraction of equivalent circuit in fundamental frequency domain. By the technique, we can draw out the corresponding linear time invariant circuit even thuogh the actual circuit is switched. A static VAR compensator using five-level inverter is modeled and simulated for the verification of the modeling.

최근, 전자 제품의 소형화와 저소비전력화 및 향상된 효율과 역률개선이 큰 관심 사항이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 PWM 제어기반의 AC-DC 컨버터를 설계, 제작하였다. AC-DC 컨버터는 하나의 정류회로와 하나의 출력전압 제어 회로가 직렬로 연결되는 구조로 설계하였으며, 정류회로는 다이오드 기반 단상 전파전류 회로, 출력전압 제어 회로는 PWM 제어기반의 DC-DC 변환 회로를 적용하였다. PWM 제어를 위한 주 제어장치로 아두이노를 이용하였으며, LCD를 출력 단에 구성하여 제어 결과를 확인할 수 있도록 하였다. 시험회로를 통한 반복 실험들을 통해서 오실로스코프와 LCD에 디스플레이 되는 출력전압과 목표 출력전압의 오차를 확인하였으며, 오실로스코프 측정값을 기준으로 약 5%의 오차율을 보임으로써 제안된 설계 방법론의 유효성을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents the efficiency analysis of a critical current mode interleaved PFC rectifier, in which each of three different semiconductor switches is employed as the active switch. The Si FET, SiC FET, and GaN FET are consecutively used with the prototype PFC rectifier, and the efficiency of the PFC rectifier with each different semiconductor switch is analyzed. An equivalent circuit model of the PFC rectifier, which incorporates all the internal losses of the PFC rectifier, is developed. The rms values of the current waveforms main circuit components are calculated. By adapting the rms current waveforms to the equivalent model, all the losses are broken down and individually analyzed to assess the conduction loss, switching loss, and magnetic loss in the PFC rectifier. This study revealed that the GaN FET offers the highest overall efficiency with the least loss among the three switching devices. The GaN FET yields 96% efficiency at 90 V input and 97.6% efficiency at 240 V, under full load condition. This paper also confirmed that the efficiency of the three switching devices largely depends on the turn-on resistance and parasitic capacitance of the respective switching devices.
