This paper examines the application of high voltage static var compensator(SVC) with cascade multilevel inverter which employs H-bridge inverter(HBI). To improve the unbalanced problem of the DC capacitor voltages, the rotated switching scheme of fundamental frequency is newly used. The optimized fundamental switching pattern with low switching frequency is adapted to be suitable for high application. The selective harmonic elimination method(SHEM) allows to keep the total harmonic distortion(THD) low in the output voltage of multilevel inverter. The SVC system is modeled using the d-q transform which calculates the instantaneous reactive power. This model is used to design a controller and analyze the SVC system. Simulated and experimental results are also presented and discussed to validate the proposed schemes.

A new current source inverter (CSl) with dc-side commutation and load-side energy recovery circuit is proposed with analysis and explanation of the circuit operation. Proposed inverter overcomes the most drawbacks of the conventional CSI's - high device voltage stress, low operating frequency range, large commutation capacitance, etc. - by employing simultaneous recovery and commutation concept. The new CSI employs only one commutation capacitor and it can be built with considerably low cost. The commutation energies are temporarily stored into a large dc capacitor and recovered to the load side, thus the device voltage stress is low and the efficiency is high in the proposed inverter. Computer simulation results are given at the steady state, and a guideline determining the commutation circuit is given.

Current source inverter drives of auto sequentially commutated type are very popular in high power applications, because of simple power circuit configuration with four quadrant operation. But the six-step current output create harmonic problems and the input power factor of such a drive is not always good. In this respect pulse width modulated drives using gate turn off thyristors ( GTO ) are finding application, especially in traction drives. However the switching and snubber loses of a GTO do not permit the inverter switching frequency go beyond a few hundred hertz.This will again introduce low frequency harmonic problems. Multi level inverters of the 3-level and 5-level can be considered as an alternative to overcome the low switching frequency harmonic problem of the 2-level GTO inverters. But with multi level inverters the complexity of the power circuit increases. In this paper a combination of multi level ( 2-level and 3-level ) inverters and multi phase induction motor ( 3-phase and 6-phase) configurations are presented for high power VSI drives for traction applications with reduced inverter switching frequency requirements coupled with reduced voltage rating for the power switch.

LCD displays for flat monitors the backlit using Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamps(CCFLs) In this paper a low-cost series resonant half-bridge inverter for LCD backlight is proposed as a CCFL ballast. It is regulated by asymmetric control for its fixed frequency soft switching model. The attractiveness of this topology is primarily its low cost because of using BJT switches and reduction of anti-parallel diode. Design procedure and experimental verification from 5W 15"LCD backlight are presented.

본 논문은 구동신호 위상제어 기능을 갖는 SIT고주파공진 인버터를 제안하였다. SIT를 이용한 위상제어형인버터는 낮은 스위칭 손실로서 높은 스위칭 주파수의 전력변환을 실현시킬 수 있다. 특히 2단위 인버터의 출력전압을 직렬로 연결하여 높은 출력을 얻을 수 있다. 과전류에 대해서 보호회로를 이용한 시스템의 안정성과 그리고 PLL에 의해 부하변화에 따른 자동추종제어를 실현하였다. 특히 제안된 인버터는 고주파에서도 거의 정현파에 가까우며, 스위칭 주파수 범위는 180∼220〔kHz〕이고, 2〔kW〕의 유도가열에 응용하였다. 본 인버터의 동작 특성에 대해서 이론과 실험결과를 비교 검토하였다.

The power loss of large-capacity systems using single-phase inverters has attracted considerable attention. In this study, optimal switching sequence model prediction control at a low switching frequency is proposed to reduce the power loss in a high-power inverter system, and a compensation method that can be utilized for model prediction control is developed to reduce errors in accordance with sampling values. When a three-level, single-phase inverter using a switching frequency of 600 Hz and a sampling frequency of 12 kHz is adopted, the power factor is improved from 0.95 to 0.99 through 3 kW active power control. The performance of the controller is also verified.

This paper presents a novel circuit topology of a DC bus line series switch and parallel snubbing capacitor-assisted soft-switching PWM full-bridge inverter type DC-DC power converter with a high frequency planar transformer link, which is newly developed for high performance arc welding machines in industry. The proposed DC-DC power converter circuit is based upon a voltage source-fed H type full-bridge soft-switching PWM inverter with a high frequency transformer. This DC-DC power converter has a single power semiconductor switching device in series with an input DC low side rail and loss less snubbing capacitor in parallel with the inverter bridge legs. All the active power switches in the full-bridge arms and DC bus line can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off transition commutation. Consequently, the total switching power losses occurred at turn-off switching transition of these power semiconductor devices; IGBTs can be reduced even in higher switching frequency bands ranging from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. The switching frequency of this DC-DC power converter using IGBT power modules can be realized at 60 kHz. It is proved experimentally by power loss analysis that the more the switching frequency increases, the more the proposed DC-DC power converter can achieve a higher control response performance and size miniaturization. The practical and inherent effectiveness of the new DC-DC converter topology proposed here is actually confirmed for low voltage and large current DC-DC power supplies (32V, 300A) for TIG arc welding applications in industry.

HEP(Head Electric Power) system, supplying 3-phase service power to the coach vehicles, is a kind of special auxiliary power equipment which is boarded on 8200 series electric locomotives in KORAIL. This equipment shares high voltage DC link with a main propulsion converter/inverter systems. It was difficult to use high frequency PWM technique so that GTO has been used as a power device same like the main power system. Due to low PWM frequency(300Hz) of HEP inverter, the output voltage has less power quality comparing to normal SIV(Static Inverter) system. In this paper, an optimal PWM strategy is presented for new IGBT type HEP inverter system. Several PWM techniques were investigated to improve output voltage quality under fixed lower filter inductance and not high PWM frequency. Finally PC simulations have been done to clarify its availability.

본 연구는 60Hz 절연변압기가 없는 형태의 고주파링크방식의 계통연계형 PCS(Power Conditioning System)를 개발하였다. 본 시스템은 고주파 DC-DC 컨버터, 고주파 절연변압기, 풀브리지 다이오드 정류기, DC filter, 저주파 인버터, LC 필터로 구성되어 있다. 고주파 DC-DC 컨버터는 20kHz의 bipolar PWM 펄스를 발생시키며, 이 펄스는 고주파 절연변압기를 통해 승압되고, 풀브리지 다이오드를 통해 정류된다. 마지막으로 저주파 인버터를 통해 정현파 전류가 계통에 유입되게 된다. 제안한 고주파링크방식의 시스템은 기존의 60Hz 절연변압기를 사용하는 시스템 보다 많은 스위칭 소자가 사용되지만, 60Hz 절연변압기를 생략함으로서 시스템의 소형경량화 및 저가화를 이룰 수 있었다.
