In this paper, a robust controller for PWM converter is proposed. The proposde converter controller consists of a PI controller for DC output voltage and a current controller using error-space approach for maintaining the sinusoidal current waveform and unity power factor. Conventionally, the try and error method has been used to design the current controller considering the switching frequency of the devices and sampling frequency of the digital controller. But this proposed method is based on characteristic ratio assignment(CRA) method which has the advantage to design the optimal gain to meet the referenced response and overshoot within the limit range. First, the CRA based current controller algorithm is explained. Then the validity of proposed controller is verified through the PSiM simulation and experience results.

A sensorless input current controller for three phase PWM converter is proposed. A merit of this controller is that sinusoidal input line current, unity power factor, and ripple-free DC voltage can be achieved with low-cost. The paper describes the proposed control strategy and its implementation. Simulation result for the proposed controller is compared with that of the sensor based version.

The 3-level inverter is applied to the induction motor drive as the voltage type inverter for large poller one. This inverter divides the DC link voltage into the two parts and it is supplied to the inverter. The 3-level inverter can reduces the voltage between the each devices, and get more sinusoidal current waveform. This paper presents the new PWM method which can reduces the harmonics. The modulation at the inverter side is implemented using a DSP microprocessor.

In this paper, direct power control system for three-phase PWM AC/DC converter without the source voltage sensors is proposed. The sinusoidal input current and unity effective power factor are realised based on the estimated flux in the observer. Both active and reactive power calculated using estimated flux. The estimation of flux is performed based on the Reduced-order flux observer using the actual currents and the command control voltage. The source voltage sensors are replaced by a flux estimator. The active and reactive powers estimation are performed based on the estimated flux and Phase anble. The proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment.

This paper describes a new inverter active inverter between a photovoltaic(PV) array and single-phase utility that avoid the bulky input(60Hz) transformer on the AC side. The interface employs a pwm boost converter on the DC side followed by a pwm boost converter on the DC side followed by a pwm current-forced single-phase rectifier for injecting the power from the PV array into the mains. The current waveform at the AC side remains sinusoidal and exactly in phase at all time. The circuit also has the advantage of requiring fewer switching device than high-frequency link system. This paper describes modeling of PV array and new system topology. Simulation results on the performance of the connection are also presented.

This paper describes the voltage type PWM converter. Input AC current is to be sinusoidal and AC input voltage is determined by controlling the phase of the source and converter properly. By corresponding the phase of input voltage to that of base current, DC constant voltage Is to be output with high power factor driving. Also it is possible to be leading or lagging power factor driving. Optimum driving is performed by controlling the current instantaneously in the steady state or transient state.

In this study, a new sinusoidal PWM inverter suitable for use with power MOSFETs is described. The output waveforms in the proposed OWM inverter are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. A modulating signal for the three-phase PWM inverter is obtained by adding 3nth harmonics to the conventional three-phase sine wave. By using the new modulating signal, the amplitude of the fundamental component is increased about 15 percent more than that of a conventional sine wave inverter and the commutation number of the inverter is decreased to two-thirds of a conventional one.

The estimation of source voltage is performed based on Luenberger observer using actual currents. The estimated source voltage is used to accomplish unity power factor. The proposed method is proved by simulations.

Most of converter system could obtain almost unity power factor and make input current sinusoidal waveform, but they have many problems, such as electromagnetic interference and switching losses caused by switching noise in main switch.
