This paper proposes a improvement of switching converter's input wave form using VIENNA Rectifier(three-phase three-switch three-level PWM Rectifier). VIENNA Rectifier is based on the combination of a three-phase diode bridge and dc/dc boost converter. It can be available to get sinusoidal mains current, and low-blocking voltage stress on rower transistors. In addition, it can control output voltage.

In this paper, a new method of SVPWM implementation for 3-Phase 3-Leg 3-Level AC/DC converter known as the Vienna converter is proposed.

The performances of the proposed new method and the two existing methods are compared through simulation and experiment. Also PI and PR controller in AC input current controller are compared through 10[kW] Vienna converter system.

Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs) are used widely in Wind Power Generation Systems (WPGSs), and the Vienna rectifier was recently proposed to be used as the generator-side converter to rectify the AC output voltage in PMSG-based WPGS. Compared to conventional six-switch two-level PWM (2L-PWM) converters, the Vienna rectifier has several advantages, such as higher efficiency, improved total harmonic distortion, etc. The motivation behind this paper is to verify the performance of direct-driven PMSG wind turbine system based-Vienna rectifier by using a simulated direct-driven PMSG WPGS. In addition, for the purpose of reducing the reactive power loss of PMSGs, this paper proposes an induced voltage sensing scheme which can make the stator current maintain accurate synchronization with the induced voltage. Meanwhile, considering the Neutral-Point Voltage (NPV) variation in the DC-side of the Vienna rectifier, a NPV balancing control strategy is added to the control system. In addition, both the effectiveness of the proposed method and the performance of the direct-driven PMSG based-Vienna rectifier are verified by simulation and experimental results.

본 논문에서는 3-Level Vienna Converter를 간단히 제어 하기 위한 단일 반송파 비교 방식의 전압제어 방법을 제안 한다. 제안된 전압 제어 방식은 Two-Level 전압 변조 방식의 상전압 지령과 단자 전압 지령은 그대로 사용하고, 삼각파 비교부만 비엔나 정류기에 적합하게 단일 반송파를 이용한 방식으로 바꿔 SVPWM을 간단하게 구현할 수 있으며, 기존의 Two-Level 컨버터에서 적용하던 다양한 선형 변조 및 과변조 방식 등 전압제어 알고리듬과 전류제어 알고리듬 등을 Three - Level 컨버터에 쉽게 적용 할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a synchronous switching technique for a Vienna rectifier that uses carrier-based pulse width modulation (CB-PWM). A three-phase Vienna rectifier, similar to a three-level T-type converter with three back-to-back switches, is used as a PWM rectifier. Conventional CB-PWM requires six independent gate signals to operate back-to-back switches. When internal switches are operated synchronously, only three independent gate signals are required, which simplifies the construction of gate driver circuits. However, with this method, total harmonic distortion of the input current is higher than that with conventional CB-PWM switching. A reactive current injection technique is proposed to improve current distortion. The performance of the proposed synchronous switching method and the effectiveness of the reactive current injection technique are verified using simulations and experiments performed with a set of Vienna rectifiers rated at 5 kW.

The paper describes the development of Fast Charger by using Vienna Rectifier as AC/DC converter. The Vienna Rectifier is proven to have a high efficiency performance as well as a prominent power quality performance on AC side of the fast charger. The Vienna Rectifier is compared to other topology, especially T-type inverter, and analyzed carefully. Experimental results from a 10kW prototype are provided to validate the theoretical consideration.

This paper uses the switching function approach to present a simple state model of the Vienna-type rectifier. The approach introduces the relationship between the DC-link neutral point voltage and the AC side phase currents. A novel direct power control (DPC) strategy, which is based on the sliding mode control (SMC) for Vienna I rectifiers, is developed using the proposed power model in the stationary ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ reference frames. The SMC-based DPC methodology directly regulates instantaneous active and reactive powers without transforming to a synchronous rotating coordinate reference frame or a tracking phase angle of grid voltage. Moreover, the required rectifier control voltages are directly calculated by utilizing the non-linear SMC scheme. Theoretically, active and reactive power flows are controlled without ripple or cross coupling. Furthermore, the fixed-switching frequency is obtained by employing the simplified space vector modulation (SVM). SVM solves the complicated designing problem of the AC harmonic filter. The simplified SVM is based on the simplification of the space vector diagram of a three-level converter into that of a two-level converter. The dwelling time calculation and switching sequence selection are easily implemented like those in the conventional two-level rectifier. Replacing the current control loops with power control loops simplifies the system design and enhances the transient performance. The simulation models in MATLAB/Simulink and the digital signal processor-controlled 1.5 kW Vienna-type rectifier are used to verify the fast responses and robustness of the proposed control scheme.

본 논문에서는 비엔나 정류기의 전압제어를 위한 반송파 비교 PWM 방법에 대하여 논한다. 일반적으로 산업용 및 통신용 등 여러 응용분야에서 2레벨 정류기가 주로 사용되어 왔다. 하지만 2레벨 정류기는 효율을 높이고, THD를 낮추는데 한계가 있기 때문에 3레벨 정류기에 대한 연구가 진행 되어 왔다. 3레벨 정류기의 대표적인 회로가 비엔나 정류기이다. 기존의 비엔나 정류기는 대부분 전압 명령으로부터 인가 공간전압 벡터를 선택하고, 공간전압 벡터 인가시간을 직접 계산하여, 그 시간동안 전압 명령을 인가하는 공간 전압 변조 방식이 사용된다. 하지만 이 방법은 전압 명령 생성 및 전압 벡터의 인가시간 계산이 매우 복잡하여, 구현이 어려운 단점이 있다. 이 단점을 보완하기 위해 기존의 3레벨 인버터에 사용되던 반송파 비교 PWM 방법을 비엔나 정류기에 적용할 수 있도록 수정하여, 비엔나 정류기를 위한 간단한 전압제어를 위한 반송파 비교 PWM방식을 도출하고 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 검증 한다.

Due to the advantage of reducing the voltage applied to the switch semiconductor, the input series and output parallel combination is widely used in systems with high input voltage and large output current. On the other hand, the LLC converter is widely used as a high-efficiency power converter, and when connected by ISOP combination, there is a possibility that input voltage imbalance may occur due to a mismatch of passive devices. To avoid damaging the switching device, this study analyzed the DC-link voltage imbalance of a high-capacity supply using an ISOP LLC converter. In addition, the case where DC-link unbalance control was applied and the case not applied was analyzed respectively. Based on this analysis, an initial start-up algorithm was proposed to prevent input power semiconductor device damage due to DC-link over-voltage. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been verified through simulations and experiments.
