Since the residential load is an AC load, while the output of solar cell is a DC power, the photovoltaic system needs the DC/AC converter to utilize solar cell and must provide the sinusoidal wave current and voltage with unity power factor in the case of driving to Interact with utility line. It is always necessary for the output of solar cell to operate in the vicinity of maximum power point, since it is greatly fluctuated by insolation. This paper treats that we will constitute a single phase PWM voltage source inverter and trace the modulation index which always maximize the output of solar cell in propotion to insolation variation and prove it by simulation that we can provide current wave, which is nearly sinusoidal wave with unity power factor, for load and utility line.

This paper presents the design of closed loop controllers operating a single-phase AC-DC three-level converter for improving power quality at AC mains. Closed loop inhibits outer voltage controller and inner current controller. Simulations of three level converter with three different voltage and current controller combinations such as PI-Hysteresis, Fuzzy-Hysteresis and Fuzzy tuned PI-Hysteresis are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink. Performance parameters such as input power factor and source current total harmonic distortion (THD) are considered for comparison of the three controller combinations. The fuzzy-tuned PI voltage controller with hysteresis current controller combination provides a better result, with a source-current THD of 0.93% and unity power factor without any source side filter for the three level converter. For load variations of 25% to 100%, a THD of less than 5% is obtained with a maximum value of only 1.67%. Finally, the fuzzy-tuned PI voltage with hysteresis controller combination is implemented in a Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX25 FPGA board for experimental validation of power quality enhancement. A prototype 100 W, 0-24-48 V as output converter is considered for the testing of controller performance. A source-current THD of 1.351% is obtained in the experimental study with a power factor near unity. For load variations of 25% to 100%, the THD is found to be less than 5%, with a maximum value of only 2.698% in the experimental setup which matches with the simulation results.

PWM컨버터 차량은 전압벡터제어방식에 의해 부하역률 1.0에 가까운 운전이 가능하므로 기존 저역률의 위상제어방식 차량에 비해 급전선로 전압강하 측면에서 우수한 부하특성을 나타낸다. 그러나 이 경우에도 급 전구간 내의 운전밀도가 높거나 연장급전 구간에서는 선로손실의 증가 및 전압강하 현상이 심각한 수준으로 나타날 수 있다. 본 논문은 PWM컨버터 차량의 역률을 1.0으로 고정하여 운행하는 대신 차량의 운전 조건에 따라 가변적으로 최적 제어함으로써 급전선로의 손실을 최소화 하고 전압 프로파일을 개선하는 방법을 기술하였다. 제시된 방법은 동일 급전구간 내에 운행중인 차량을 대상으로 최대 경사법에 의해 선로의 무효전력손실이 최소화되는 개별 차량의 무효전력 보상량을 결정하게 되며, 이 방법을 표본 계통에 대해 시뮬레이션 한 결과 선로손실의 감소와 함께 전압 프로파일도 상당한 수준으로 개선됨을 알 수 있었다.

A single-phase power factor corrected converter for switched reluctance motor driving is presented to achieve sinusoidal, near unity power factor input currents. Because it combines a power factor corrected converter and a conventional asymmetric SRM driver into one power stage, the configuration has a simple structure resulted in low cost. A prototype to drive 6/6 poles SRM employing a parking magnet is designed to evaluate the proposed topology. The characteristics and operational mode will be discussed in depth, and the validity of proposed driver will be verified through the experimental results.

A propulsion system apparatus is needed for a railroad vehicle to test and estimate propulsion performance. The electrical inertia simulator to facilitate the development and testing of propulsion systems, is presented in this paper. It is based on a vector-controlled Induction motor drive supplied from the AC mains through a double PWM converter that provides desirable features such as hi-directional power folw, nearly unity power factor and low harmonic factor at the Ac mains. A theoretical analysis is first presented, followed by a detailed simulation study to assess the overall system performance under dynamic conditions.

형광등용 전자식 안정기의 개발에 있어서, 최근 선전류 고조파 성분의 제한에 관한 여러 가지 규제를 만족시키기 위해 역률 개선 회로를 부가하는 것이 권장되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자려식 전류원 방식 푸시-풀 공진형 인버터의 전력 트랜스포머의 2차측과 별도의 한 개의 커패시터를 사용함으로써 역률 개선을 수동소자로만 이용하여 전류원 방식의 공진형 인버터를 채택하는 형광등용 전자식 안정기를 저가격화, 고역률화하는 것을 목적으로 한다.

본 논문은 단상 SRM의 고역률 구동에 관한 연구이다. 단상 SRM은 구조가 단순하고, 견고하며, 전력회로가 간단하고, 고속운전특성이 우수하다. 다이오드 정류기와 필터용 링크 커패시터로 구성된 종래의 단상 SRM 구동방식은 대용량 커패시터의 충 방전 전류에 의해 역률이 크게 저하되는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 부가적인 능동회로가 없는 1단방식의 고역률 SRM 구동드라이브와 스위칭 토플로지를 제안한다. 제안한 구동드라이브와 스위칭 토플로지는 다양한 수치시뮬레이션과 마이크로 콘트롤러기반의 단상 SRM의 구동실험을 통해 그 타당성을 입증하였다.

Generally, power factor correction (PFC) techniques play an important role in the power supply technology. Many new circuit topologies and control strategies for PFC have been proposed. Among them, the brideless PFC (BPFC) reduces the number of switching devices and the losses and improves the power density as well. Moreover, by implementing the improved topology in the discontinous conduction mode (DCM) it ensures almost unity power factor in a simple and effective manner. In the DCM operation gives additional advantages such as zero-current turn-on in the power switches, zero-current turn-off in the output diode and reduces the complexity of the control circuitry. In this paper, a new control strategy for the BPFC is proposed. Also, the performance of the proposed system is demonstrated through experiments.

In this paper, a proposed approach to improve the power factor of three-phase rectifiers and to stabilize the output voltage against load change is presented. The elements of the given control strategy are small size, low cost, high performance, and simplicity. The proposed control strategy of switches is based on a prototype of three bi-directional switched consisting of four diodes and one IGBT. A control technique and operational procedure are also developed, both theoretically and experimentally. The experimental results clearly verify the theoretical analysis from the prototype connected to grid unity.

This paper introduces a simple grid-voltage-sensorless control scheme for single-phase power factor correction (PFC) boost converters. The grid voltage waveform is obtained based on the dc output voltage, the switching duty ratio, and a phase-lead compensator. In addition, the duty ratio feedback is utilized to obtain the unity input power factor and the zero harmonic current. The proposed control scheme is designed and mathematically analyzed based on a small-signal model of PFC boost converters. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, several simulations and experiments are carried out in two applications: an industrial power system with a 60 Hz grid frequency and a commercial aircraft application with a 400 Hz grid frequency.
