In this paper, a single-phase single-stage three-level AC/DC converter with a wide controllable output voltage is presented. It integrates a PFC converter and a three level DC/DC converter into one. The proposed converter operates at a fixed frequency and provides a wide controllable output voltage ($200V_{dc}-430V_{dc}$) with high efficiencies over a wide load range. In addition, the input boost inductors operate in a discontinuous mode to improve the input power factor. Moreover, all the switching devices operate with ZVS, and the converter's THD is small especially at full load. The feasibility of the proposed converter is verified with experimental results of a 1.5kW prototype.

본 논문에서는 기존 3상 PWM 정류기의 문제점을 극복하기 위하여, 3상 Z-소스 PWM정류기와 시스템의 간소화, 안정화, 비용 상승을 고려한 센서리스 제어 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 DC-link단 전압제어기는 시스템에 대한 경험과 정성적인 정보에 기초하고 제어 대상에 대한 정확한 수식이 없어도 제어기 설계가 가능한 퍼지 PI제어기를 이용하였다. 제안한 정류기는 교류측 전압과 전류 센서 없이 DC-link단 전압과 전류 센서만을 이용하여 교류측 전압과 전류를 추정하고 단위역률을 구현하였으며, 이를 PSIM시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증 하였다.

This paper presents a direct single-stage power converter using single-phase isolated full-bridge converter modules, with inherent power factor correction (PFC) for a 12 kW switched mode power supply (SMPS). The advantages of the proposed converter are its simple control strategy, reduction in number of conversion stage, low input line current harmonics, and improvement in power factor. Analysis of the single-stage converter is carried out in continuous conduction mode of operation. Steady-state analysis of the proposed converter is conducted to obtain converter parameters. A systematic design procedure is also presented for a 12k W converter with a design example. The effect of load variation on SMPS is also studied in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed converter for the complete range of load conditions. A set of power quality indices on input ac mains for an SMPS fed from a single-stage converter is also presented for easy comparison of their performance.

This study presents a single-phase single-stage three-level AC/DC converter with a wide controllable output voltage. The proposed AC/DC converter is designed to extend the application of e-mobility, such as electric vehicles. The single-stage converter integrates a PFC converter and a three-level DC/DC converter, operates at a fixed frequency, and provides a wide controllable output voltage (approximately 200-430Vdc) with high efficiencies over a wide load range. In addition, the input boost inductors operate in a discontinuous mode to improve the input power factor. The switching devices operate with ZVS, and the converter's THD is small, especially at full load. The feasibility of the proposed converter is verified by the experimental results of a 1.5 kW prototype.

This paper presents design of control system for permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG). The gas engine make rotating mechanical energy from gas fuel energy. The rotor of synchronous generator is connected to axis of engine. And it converts the mechanical energy to the electrical energy. The control system of PMSG helps the electrical energy to flow to grid. the single phase pfc rectifier controls the DC-link voltage by controlling the current of filter inductor. If the DC-link voltage is higher than the voltage reference, the filter current could be controlled to flow to grid. The three phase inverter controls the stator current of generator. The direction of the current is controlled depends on motoring or generating mode. The feasibility of the grid-connected PMSG is verified by the experimental results with 1kW prototype.

DC-DC 컨버터를 인터리브 방식으로 제어하면 출력 전류 리플이 저감되고, 출력 필터 커패시터의 용량을 줄일 수 있다. 하지만 공진(Resonance)을 통해 전력을 전달하는 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 경우 회로를 구성하는 공진 인덕터 및 공진 커패시터의 오차(Tolerance)로 인해 출력 전류 리플의 언밸런스가 심화될 수 있다. 따라서 이를 개선할 수 있는 방법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 Y결선 정류기를 이용한 3상 인터리브드 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 출력 전류 리플 밸런싱 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 3상 인터리브드 LLC 공진형 컨버터와 각 LLC 공진형 컨버터 앞단의 Bridgeless PFC가 독립적으로 추가되어 회로가 구성된다. 3상 인터리브드 LLC 공진형 컨버터는 분할된 위상으로 비독립적으로 제어하며 출력 전류 리플의 언밸런스를 Bridgeless PFC의 출력 전압을 가변함으로써 개선할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고 이를 시뮬레이션(PSIM)을 통해 제안된 밸런싱 방법을 검증하였다.

A bridgeless single-stage AC-DC converter for wireless power charging systems is proposed. This converter is composed of a PFC stage and a three-level hybrid DC-DC stage. The proposed converter can control the wide output voltage (200-450 V_DC) by the variable link voltage and the pulse-width voltage applied to the primary resonant circuit due to the phase-shifted modulation at a fixed switching frequency. Moreover, the input power factor and the total harmonic distortion can be improved by using the proposed converter. A 1 kW prototype was fabricated and validated through experimental results and analysis.

In this paper, a zero torque control scheme adopting current sharing function (CSF) used in integrated Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drive with DC battery charger is proposed. The proposed control scheme is able to achieve the keeping position (KP), zero torque (ZT) and power factor correction (PFC) at the same time with a simple novel current sharing function algorithm. The proposed CSF makes the proper reference for each phase windings of SRM to satisfy the total charging current of the battery with zero torque output to hold still position with power factor correction, and the copper loss minimization during of battery charging is also achieved during this process. Based on these, CSFs can be used without any recalculation of the optimal current at every sampling time. In this proposed integrated battery charger system, the cost effective, volume and weight reduction and power enlargement is realized by function multiplexing of the motor winding and asymmetric SR converter. By using the phase winding as large inductors for charging process, and taking the asymmetric SR converter as an interleaved converter with boost mode operation, the EV can be charged effectively and successfully with minimum integral system. In this integral system, there is a position sliding mode controller used to overcome any uncertainty such as mutual inductance or DC offset current sensor. Power factor correction and voltage adaption are obtained with three-phase buck type converter (or current source rectifier) that is cascaded with conventional SRM, one for wide input and output voltage range. The practicability is validated by the simulation and experimental results by using a laboratory 3-hp SRM setup based on TI TMS320F28335 platform.
