This paper proposes a new phase current reconstruction technique for interleaved three-phase bidirectional dc-dc converters using a single current sensor. In the proposed current reconstruction algorithm, a single current sensor is employed at the dc-link, and the dc-link current information is sampled at either the peak or valley point of the pulse-width modulation (PWM) carriers regularly. From the obtained current information, all phase currents are reconstructed in a single PWM cycle. After that, the digital current controller is applied to achieve current balancing in each phase. Compare to the previous multiple current sensor method, the proposed strategy reduces the number of the current sensors in the interleaved three-phase bidirectional converter as well as reducing potential current sensing error caused by non-ideal characteristics of the multiple current sensors. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified from the experiments based on a 3kW three-phase bidirectional converter prototype for the automotive battery charging application.

The single sensor technique reconstructing phase currents from the dc-link current without phase current sensors in proposed. When the duration of active vector is too short for the snubber current to reduce, the dc-link current including the snubber current gives large detection error. The solution is presented by analyzing the snubber current and modifying the switching sequences. This scheme is simple, requires only one sampling a period and has good results for detecting the phase currents.

In this paper, a single current sensor technique (SCST) is proposed for single-phase full-bridge inverters. The proposed SCST measures the currents of multiple branches at the same time, and reconstructs the average inductor, capacitor, and load current in a single switching cycle. Since all of the branches' current in the LC filter and the load are obtained using the SCST, both the inductor and the capacitor current feedback schemes can be selectively applied while taking advantages of each other. This paper also analyzes both of the current feedback schemes from the view point of the closed-loop output impedance. The proposed SCST and the analysis in this paper are verified through experiments on a 3kVA single-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

In this paper, a novel bridgeless interleaved power factor correction circuit with single current sensor is proposed. The proposed control strategy requires only one current sensor for the interleaved bridgeless PFC. By sampling the output current, all the boost indictor currents can be calculated and used to control the input current according to the input voltage. The reduced number of current sensors and associated feedback circuits helps reduce the cost of system. The problem caused by the unequal current gain between current sensors inherently does not exist in the proposed topology. Thus, current sharing between converters can be achieved more accurately and the high frequency distortion is decreased. In addition, the proposed technique can be applied to the other kinds of interleaved PFC topologies. Performance of the proposed control strategy is verified by the experimental results with 6.6kW bridgeless interleaved PFC circuit.

This paper presents a method to reduce commutation torque ripples occurred during commutation in brushless do motor drives using a single DC-link current sensor. In brushless dc motor drives with a single dc current sensor instead of 3-phase line current sensors, it is noted that dc-link current sensor cannot give any information corresponding to the motor currents during line current commutation intervals. A new technique to resolve such a problem is dealt with based on a deadbeat current control in which motor armature voltage command is computed from a dc-link current reference, an actual current and counter emf voltage. The simulation results show that the proposed method reduces the torque ripple significantly.

This paper proposes phase current reconstruction techniques for two-phase two-leg and two-phase four-leg inverters using a single current sensor. In the proposed methods, one phase current is sampled simultaneously with a particular branch current by using only one current sensor, and then current reconstruction algorithms are applied to extract the information on two phase currents from the sensor output. The sampled current information is periodically updated at the peak and the valley of the triangular carrier waveform in each switching cycle of pulse-width modulation (PWM). The voltage vector spaces where the phase currents can be reconstructed are evaluated. Compared to the existing method using two individual current sensors in two phases, the proposed schemes can save implementation cost since it is possible to remove one current sensor. In addition, the proposed methods are free from gain discrepancy issues between two current sensors. Simulations and experiments show excellent current reconstruction performance of the proposed methods.

This paper presents a comprehensive study result on reducing commutation torque ripples generated in brushless dc motor drives with only a single dc-link current sensor provided. In brushless dc motor drives with only a single current sensor, the commutation torque ripple suppression that is practically effective in low speed as well as high speed regions has not been reported. A proposed commutation compensation technique based on deadbeat dc-link current controller takes a closed loop control scheme and a parameter insensitive property. The proposed control method is verified through simulations and experiments.

This paper proposes a single current sensor control technique for controlling motors that use only a single DC-Link current sensing resistor to obtain the information of three line currents. However, the measurement is distorted due to the too narrow current pulse width in the shunt resistor. To solve this problem, the existing phase current reconstruction methods are voltage split methods. They have a disadvantage which makes noise. A new dedicated observer is applied to decrease noise problem. Experimental results showed the effectiveness of the proposed method.
