본 논문은 PWM(Pulse width Modulation)전압형 인버어터를 사용하여 전원차단 경우나 전압변동 및 부하변동에 의한 출력전류 변화에도 일정한 출력전압을 유지하는 무정전 전원장치에 대해 논하였다. 본 시스템은 전압형 인버어터를 교류전원과 동기시켜 운전하고 정상상태에서는 전원으로부터 운전하고 정상상태에서는 전원으로부터 직류측에 연결된 축전지를 태양전지를 이용한 광기전력효과와 함께 일정전압을 충전하며, 전원의 차단, 전원의 전압변동 및 부하전류의 변화에도 일정한 전압을 유지하도록 하였다. 출력은 PWM방식에 의하여 양호한 파형이 되도록 하고 전원차단과 부하의 상태의 변화 및 전원 전압 변동에도 일정한 전압으로 출력됨을 실험을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents a simple AC-DC power conditioner for a squirell-cage induction generator(IG) operating under variable shaft speeds. The necessary reactive power for the IG system is supplied by means of a capacitor bank and a voltage-source PWM converter. Using a capacitor bank to transfer the reactive power to the IG under the rated speed and no-load conditions starts the IG operation and reduces the PWM power converter size. A simple control compensating for changes in the electrical loads as well as the variation in speed was developed to regulate the voltages of the IG system by controlling the rotor flux through its reactive and active currents control implementation. This proposed power conditioning scheme can be used efficiently as a wind power generation system where the output voltage of the IG is maintained constant voltage despite the variable frequency and the DC bus voltage of the PWM converter can be used for either DC applications such as battery charging or AC power applications with 60/50 Hz by connecting a stand alone inverter. The experimental and simulated operating performance results of a 5 kW IG scheme at various speeds and leads are presented.

In order to reduce the capital and overall operating cost of a fuel-cell system, a high-efficiency fuel-cell power inverter with a simple framework is required. The high-order two-inductance two-capacitance (LLCC) resonant technique is adopted in this study to implement a low-frequency 60-Hz sine wave voltage inverter utilized in the proton exchange membrane fuel-cell (PEMFC) system. The methodology for inverting dc voltage into low-frequency ac boltage is usually generated by the pulse-width-modulation (PWM) technique. However, the PWM-type inverter output has high-frequency harmonic components. Although an adequately designed filter could be utilized to overcome this problem, there are still some undesirable effects introduced by the high-frequency switching loss, electromagnetic-interference, harmonic current, and load variation. A novel power inverter via the LLCC resonant technique is designed for inverting dc voltage into 60-Hz ac sine wave voltage in the PEMFC system. This circuit scheme has the merits of low harmonic components, soft switching, high efficiency, and simplified implementation. The effectiveness of the proposed resonant inverter used for the PEMFC system is verified by numerical simulations and experimental results.

Voltage sags are considered the dominant disturbances affecting power quality. Dynamic voltage restorers(DVRs) are mainly used to protect sensitive loads from the electrical network voltage disturbances such as sags or swells and could be used to reduce harmonic distortion of ac voltages. The typical DVR topology essentially contains a PWM inverter with LC Filter, an injection transformer connected between the ac voltage line and the sensitive load, and a DC energy storage device. For injecting series voltage, the PWM inverter is used and the passive filter consist of inductor(L) and capacitor(C) for harmonics elimination of the inverter. However there are voltage pulsation responses by the characteristic of the LC passive filter that eliminate the harmonics of the PWM output waveform of the inverter. Therefore, this paper presented design and feedback performance of LC filter used in the DVRs. The voltage control by LC filter should be connected in the line side since this feedback method allows a relatively faster dynamic response, enabling the elimination of voltage notches or spikes in the beginning and in the end of sags and strong load voltage THD reduction. Illustrative examples are also included.

In this paper, a novel type of auxiliary switched capacitor assisted edge resonant soft switching PWM resonant DC-DC converter with two simple auxiliary commutation lossless inductor snubbers is presented. The operation principle of this converter is described using the switching mode equivalent circuits. This newly developed multi resonant DC-DC converter can regulate its DC output AC power under a principle of constant frequency edge-resonant soft switching commutation by an asymmetrical PWM duty cycle control scheme. The high frequency power regulation and actual power characteristics of the proposed soft switching PWM resonant DC-DC converter are evaluated and discussed. The operating performances of the newly proposed soft switching inverter are represented based on simulation results from an applications point of view.

This paper proposes an effective drive of high intensity discharge (HID) lamp ballast for cars. All control functions of the proposed ballast are implemented using a low-cost single chip microcontroller, PIC16C73 to optimize the total system size and to minimize cost through minimization of total component number. The proposed ballast generates high open-circuit voltage to ignite the lamp and is controlled to supply effectively the power required to shorten warm-up period after the breakdown. The DC-DC converter of the DC-AC converter part of the ballast utilizes the flyback converter topology that can minimize component number. Also, because to more minimize the ballast size, the transformer size must be minimized, for this, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) pulses are generated with high frequency using the PWM module of the microcontroller. An analysis for this is explained, briefly. As if the operation of the lamp and ballast arrives at steady-state, then the ballast must AC-control the lamp, for this, the microcontroller utilizes the other PWM module. And the part related to the igniter is explained, briefly. It is shown through experimental results that the controller of the proposed ballast has good performance for the HID lamp for cars.
