본 연구에서는 고주파 유도가열을 위한 전원장치에 사용되는 인버터 시스템의 대용량, 고조파화를 실현하기 위한 고주파화 기술을 제안하였다. 부한 공진 인버터는 H형 전-브리지(Full-Bridge)로 구성하고 각 암당 IBGT를 2병렬로 조합하여 구성하고 부하는 직병열 공진회로로 구성한다. 스위칭 동작은 8개의 IGBT중 각 ARM당 2개씩 순차 제어하여 고속 대용량의 고주파 전력을 출력시킨다. 또한 스위칭은 스위치 턴온·오프시에 스위칭 손실을 줄이기 위해 ZVS(Zero-Voltage Switching) 기법을 도입한다. 제어는 고정주파수 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 제어를 하여 전력변환 효율을 극대화한다.

본 논문에서는 기존 방식의 단상 인버터가 아닌 central arm을 이용한 새로운 형태의 단상 인버터를 제안하였다. 제안된 토폴로지는 기존의 단상 인버터와 동일한 정현파 출력 전압을 가지면서 기존 멀티레벨 인버터에 비해 스위치 수를 감소시키고도 전압 출력이 3-레벨을 가지므로 출력 전류의 THD 함유를 적게 가져갈 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이에 토폴로지의 타당성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

This study proposes a small-signal model and control design for a two-stage DC-DC-AC converter to investigate its dynamic characteristics in relation to battery energy storage system. When the circuit analysis of the two-stage DC-DC-AC converter is attempted simultaneously, the mathematical procedure of deriving the dynamic equation is complex and difficult. The main idea of modeling the two-stage DC-DC-AC converter states that this topology is separated into a bidirectional DC-DC converter and a single-phase inverter with an equivalent current source corresponding to that of the inverter or converter. The dynamic equations for the separated converter and inverter are then derived using the state-space averaging technique. The procedures of building the small-signal model of the two-stage DC-DC-AC converter are described in detail. Based on the derived small-signal model, the individual controllers are designed through a frequency-domain analysis. The simulation and experimental results verify the validity of the proposed modeling approach and controller design.

This paper presents an novel multilevel inverter employing series connected transformers to reduce the harmonics of output voltage. The proposed inverter consists of several full-bridge modules and their corresponding transformers. Continuous output voltage levels can be generated from a suitable selection of turns ratio of transformer. And it appears an integral ratio to input DC source. Because of its series operation of transformers, output filter inductor is not required. The validity of the proposed system is verified through the experimental results using a 1.5 [kW] prototype, which can generate a 220 $[V_ac]$ output voltage from $[V_dc]$ input.

In this paper, an efficient switching pattern to equalize the size of transformer is proposed for a multi-level inverter employing cascaded transformers. It is based on the prior selected harmonic elimination PWM(SHEPWM) method. Because the maximum magnetic flux imposed on each transformer becomes exactly equal each to each, all transformers can be designed with the same size regardless of their position. Therefore, identical full-bridge inverter units can be utilized, thus improving modularity and manufacturability. The fundamental idea of the proposed switching pattern is illustrated and then analyzed theoretically. The validity of the proposed switching strategy is verified by experimental results.

The full-bridge inverter, widely used for single-phase photovoltaic grid-connected applications, presents a leakage current issue. Therefore, an AC bypass branch is introduced to overcome this challenge. Nevertheless, existing modulation strategies entail drawbacks that should be addressed. One is the zero-crossing distortion (ZCD) of the AC current caused by neglecting the AC filter inductor voltage. Another is that the system cannot deliver reactive power because the AC bypass branch switches at the power frequency. To address these problems, this work proposes an optimized hybrid modulation strategy. To reduce ZCD, the phase angle of the inverter output voltage reference is shifted, thereby compensating for the neglected leading angle. To generate the reactive power, the interval of the negative power output is calculated using the power factor. In addition, the freewheeling switch is kept on when power is flowing into the grid and commutates at a high frequency when power is fed back to the DC side. In this manner, the dead-time insertion in the high-frequency switching area is minimized. Finally, the performances of the proposed modulation strategy and traditional strategies are compared on a universal prototype inverter. Experimental results validate the theoretical analysis.

In this paper a maximum power point tracking(MPPT) techniques for power of PV(photovoltaic) systems are presented using boost converter for a connected single phase inverter. On the basic principle of power generation for the PV module, algorithms for maximum power point tracking are described by utilizing a boost converter to adjust the output voltage of the PV module. Based on output power of a boost converter, single phase inverter uses predicted current control to control four IGBT's switch in full bridge. Furthermore a low cost control system for solar energy conversion using the DSP is developed, based on boost converter to adjust the output voltage of the PV module. The effectiveness of the proposed inverter system is confirmed experimentally and by means of simulation. Finally, experimental results confirm the superior performance of the proposed method.
