H-bridge 타입의 고압인버터는 낮은 DC링크 전압을 이용하여 높은 출력 AC전압을 얻을 수 있는 멀티레벨 인버터 토폴로지로서 다양한 분야에서 실증, 적용 되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 고속철도의 피크전력 보상을 위한 단상 H-bridge 멀티레벨 인버터를 사용한 PCS의 적용을 검토하였고, DC링크 전압을 각각의 배터리 전원을 사용함으로서 발생될 수 있는 배터리 불평형에 대한 PWM제어 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 H-bridge타입에서 적용되고 있는 PWM제어방법 중 THD 특성에서 가장 우수한 PD방식을 배터리 상태에 따라 각 H-bridge에서 회전시켜 DC전압 불균형을 해결 할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 PSIM을 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행함으로서 제안된 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Fluctuating wind conditions necessitate the use of a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) with a AC/DC/AC converter scheme in order to harvest the maximum power from the wind and to decouple the synchronous generator voltage and frequency from the grid voltage and frequency. In this paper, a combination of a three phase diode bridge rectifier (DBR) and a modified topology of the diode clamped multilevel inverter (DCMLI) has been considered as an AC/DC/AC converter. A control strategy has been proposed for the DCMLI to achieve the objective of grid interface of a wind power system together with local load compensation. A novel fixed frequency current control method is proposed for the DCMLI based on the level shifted multi carrier PWM for achieving the required control objectives with equal and uniform switching frequency operation for better control and thermal management with the modified DCMLI. The condition of the controller gain is derived to ensure the operation of the DCMLI at the fixed frequency of the carrier. The converter current injected into the distribution grid is controlled in accordance with the wind power availability. In addition, load compensation is performed as an added facility in order to free the source currents being fed from the grid of harmonic distortion, unbalance and a low power factor even though the load may be unbalanced, non-linear and of a poor power factor. The results are validated using PSCAD/EMTDC simulation studies.

This paper presents system modeling, modified space vector PWM implementation and design of a closed loop controller of the Z-source inverter which consists of L and C components and shoot-through zero vectors for DGS. Zero vector periods of SVPWM utilized to boost DC-link voltage instead of conventional DC/DC converter and transformer. Only two shoot-through vut(nn are used for DC link voltage control during one switching period without loss of non-zero vectors. Discrete time sliding mode controller, robust servomechanism controller are designed to realize fast and no-overshoot current response and a steady state voltage error. Simulation results are shows the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we proposes the three-phase embedded Z-source inverter consisting of the three embedded Z-source converters and it's the output voltage control method. Each embedded Z-source converter can produce the bipolar output capacitor voltages according to duty ratio D such as single-phase PWM inverter. The output AC voltage of the proposed system is obtained as the difference in the output capacitor voltages of each converter, and the L-C output filter is not required. Because the output AC voltage can be stepped up and down, the boost DC converter in the conventional two-stage inverter is unnecessary. To confirm the validity of the proposed system, PSIM simulation and a DSP based experiment were performed under the condition of the input DC voltage 38V, load $100{\Omega}$, and switching frequency 30kHz. Each converter is connected by Y-connection for three-phase loads. In case that the output phase voltage is the same $38V_{peak}$ as the input DC voltage and is the 1.5 times($57V_{peak}$), the simulation and experimental results ; capacitor voltages, output phase voltages, output line voltages, inductor currents, and switch voltages were verified and discussed.

This paper describes a new interactive 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 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.

To prevent the short circuit of upper and lower arms of bridge type PWM converters as like a voltage source inverter and PWM AC/DC converter, the dead time is inserted in between two switching signals. As a result, unexpected errors are occurred. In this paper, a new dead time minimization method is proposed. According to the proposed method, very short time which is equal to the applied dead time or more short than it, is adopted at the time of current polarity is changing. Moreover, it can be operated with the polarity information of reference current in case of current control. With the experimental results. the varidity of proposed method is verified.

In this paper, the performance analysis of a control topology based on the direct output power control (DPC) for robust and inexpensive permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance generator (PMa-SynRG) system is presented. The PMa-SynRG might be coupled to an internal combustion engine running at variable speed. A three-phase PWM rectifier rectifies the generator output and supplies the dc link. A single-phase PWM inverter supplies constant ac voltage at constant frequency to the grid. The overall control algorithm is implemented on a TMS320F2812 digital signal processor board. Simulations results and experimental results verify the operation of the proposed system.

The solar cells should be operated at the maximum power point because its output characteristics were greatly fluctuated on the variation of insolation, temperature and load. It is necessary to install an inverter among electric power converts by means of the output power of solar cell is DC. The inverter is operated supply a sinusoidal current and voltage to the load and the interactive utility line. In this paper, the proposes a photovoltaic system is designed with a step up chopper and single phase PWM voltage source inverter. Synchronous signal and control signal was processed by one-chip microprocessor for stable modulation. The step up chopper is operated in continuous mode by adjusting the duty ratio so that the photovoltaic system tracks the maximum power point of solar cell without any influence on the variation of insolation and temperature for solar cell has typical dropping character. The single phase PWM voltage source inverter is consists of complex type of electric power converter to compensate for the defect, that is, solar cell cannot be develop continuously by connecting with the source of electric power for ordinary using. It can be cause the efect of saving electric power, from 10 to 20%. The single phase PWM voltage source inverter operates in situation, that its output voltage is in same phase with the utility voltage. The inverter are supplies an ac power with high factor and low level of harmonics to the load and the utility power system.

The electric power, regenerated while railway vehicles braking or running downhill, makes U line voltage rise and the feeding system may not be secure. In order to keep away from these kind of insecurity, the regenerative energy should be consumed by loads or transmitted to the AC side via certain devices such as DC/AC converters. This paper introduces the developed regenerative inverter for electric railway.

인버터는 전기적으로 DC(직류)를 AC(교류)로 변환하는 역 변환 장치이며, 상용전원(AC 22V/440V)으로부터 공급된 전력을 입력받아 전압과 주파수를 가변시켜 전동기에 공급함으로써 전동기의 속도를 고효율로 이용하게 제어하는 장치이다. 본 논문에서는 550kW급 IGBT, DIODE의 발열에 의한 인버터 내부의 열 및 온도분포를 ICEPAK 상용코드를 통하여 수치적 해석을 수행하였다. 인버터의 발열은 캐패시터의 수명과 소자들의 오작동 등 많은 열적 문제를 가지고 있으며 Heat-sink, Fan, Duck등을 통하여 전도와 대류가 이루어지는 시스템이다. 인버터은 많은 파라미터들에 의해 온도가 결정되기 때문에 실험을 통한 해석은 제한적 일수 밖에 없다. 따라서 수치해석을 통하여 빠른 시간에 효율적인 열 설계를 할 수 있으며, 인버터의 크기는 최종적으로 Heat-sink의 형상에 따라 달라지므로 이를 최적화 하고 소형화 하는 작업이 필요하다. 인버터의 복잡한 내부구조상 하단부(발열원, Heat-sink, Fan등)만 수치해석을 수행하였을 때와 Full Model과는 $15^{\circ}C$ 온도 차이를 보였다. 최종적으로 인버터의 최적 열 설계를 위하여 Frame위치 변경, Heat-Sink 형상변화등 많은 수치해석을 통하여 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다.
