The three-phase four-leg voltage-source inverter topology is an interesting option for the three-phase four-wire system. With an additional leg, this topology can achieve superior performance under unbalanced and nonlinear load conditions. However, because of the low bandwidth of conventional controllers in high-power inverter applications, the system cannot guarantee a balanced output voltage under the unbalanced load condition. Most of the methods proposed to solve this problem mainly use the multiple synchronous frame method, which requires several controllers and a large amount of computation because of frame transformation. This study proposes a simple hybrid controller that combines proportional-integral (PI) and resonant controllers in the synchronous frame synchronized with the positive-sequence component of the output voltage of the three-phase four-leg inverter. The design procedure for the controller and the theoretical analysis are presented. The performance of the proposed method is verified by the experimental results and compared with that of the conventional PI controller.

This paper proposes and describes the design and operational principles of a three-phase three-level nine switch voltage source inverter. The proposed topology consists of three bi-directional switches inserted between the source and the full-bridge power switches of the classical three-phase inverter. As a result, a three-level output voltage waveform and a significant suppression of load harmonics contents are obtained at the inverter output. The harmonics content of the proposed multilevel inverter can be reduced by half compared with two-level inverters. A Fourier analysis of the output waveform is performed and the design is optimized to obtain the minimum total harmonic distortion. The full-bridge power switches of the classical three-phase inverter operate at the line frequency of 50Hz, while the auxiliary circuit switches operate at twice the line frequency. To validate the proposed topology, both simulation and analysis have been performed. In addition, a prototype has been designed, implemented and tested. Selected simulation and experimental results have been provided.

본 논문은 3상 4선식 전력시스템내의 고조파전류 및 중성선에 흐르는 영상 전류를 저감하기 위한 3상 4선식 능동전력필터의 직류전압 제어를 위한 누적방지기법 적용에 관한 연구를 수행한다. 비선형 스위칭 부하에 의해 발생한 고조파 전류를 효율적으로 저감하고 전력시스템의 전체 성능을 개선하기 위해서, 전력시스템의 운전 특성에 따라 3상 4선식 능동전력필터의 내부 직류전압을 제어할 필요가 있다. 직류전압 제어를 위해서 일반적으로 PI 제어기를 사용하나, 적분기에 의한 누적 오차는 직류전압 제어기의 동특성에 영향을 준다. 따라서 본 논문은 누적방지 기법의 사용을 제안하며, 3상 4선식 능동전력필터의 직류 전압 제어기의 동특성이 개선됨을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 증명한다.

The relation between instantaneous active/reactive powers and currents is defined by voltage mapping matrix in three-phase four-wire systems. Control strategies for an active filter without energy storage components are proposed on the basis of mapping matrices. It can compensate for the zero-sequence current, irrespectively of whether or not a zero-sequence voltage exists in a three-phase four-wire system.

In this paper, a compensation scheme for the effect of dc-link ripple voltages on output voltage of two-leg and three-phase PWM inverters is proposed, without which compensation scheme the three-phase output voltage and current are much distorted. The proposed scheme has been verified by experimental results.

This paper presents a novel close-loop control scheme based on small signal modeling and weighted composite voltage feedback for a three-phase input and single-phase output Matrix Converter (3-1MC). A small non-polar capacitor is employed as the decoupling unit. The composite voltage weighted by the load voltage and the decoupling unit voltage is used as the feedback value for the voltage controller. Together with the current loop, the dual-loop control is implemented in the 3-1MC. In this paper, the weighted composite voltage expression is derived based on the sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) strategy. The switch functions of the 3-1MC are deduced, and the average signal model and small signal model are built. Furthermore, the stability and dynamic performance of the 3-1MC are studied, and simulation and experiment studies are executed. The results show that the control method is effective and feasible. They also show that the design is reasonable and that the operating performance of the 3-1MC is good.

The three-phase diode rectifier with a capacitive filter is highly sensitive to line voltage unbalance, and may cause significantly unbalanced line currents even under slightly unbalanced voltage condition. This paper presents an analysis of this 'unbalance amplification' effect for an ideal rectifier circuit without ac-and dc-side inductors. The voltage unbalance is modeled by introducing a deviation voltage superimposed on balanced three-phase line voltages. With proper approximations, closed-form expressions for symmetrical components of the line current and current unbalance factor are derived in terms of the voltage unbalance factor, filter reactance, and load current. The validity of analytical predictions is confirmed by simulation.

Many voltage sag compensators have been introduced, including the traditional dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), which requires an energy storage device but is inadequate for compensating deep and long-duration voltage sags. The AC-AC sag compensators introduced next do not require a storage device and they are capable of compensating voltage sags. This type of compensator needs an AC-AC converter to regulate the output voltage. Presented in this paper is a three-phase PWM-switched autotransformer voltage sag compensator based on an AC-AC converter that uses a proposed detection technique and PWM voltage control as a controller. Its effectiveness and capability in instantly detecting and compensating voltage sags were verified via MATLAB/Simulink simulations and further investigated through a laboratory prototype developed with a TMS320F2812 DSP as the main controller.

A new three phase three-level Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Switched Voltage Source (SVS) inverter with zero neutral point potential is proposed. The major advantage is that the peak value of the phase output voltage is twice as high as that of the conventional neutral-point-clamped (NPC) PWM inverter. Furthermore, three-level waveforms of the proposed inverter can be achieved without switch voltage unbalance problem. Since the average neutral point potential of the proposed inverter is zero, the common ground between input stage and output stage is possible. The proposed inverter is verified by experimental results based on a laboratory prototype.

본 연구에서는 왜형되고 불평형인 전원의 정상분 순시전압 검출기법(Detection Method of Instantaneous Positive Sequence Voltage : PSD)에 의한 3상 3선 능동전력필터 시스템을 제작하였다. 불평형 및 왜형된 전원전압은 PSD에 의하여 정상분 순시전압을 실시간으로 검출한 후 순시전력이론의 상변환 행렬을 연산하고 있으며, 따라서 왜형되고 불평형된 전원조건에 순시전력이론을 적용하기 위하여 종전의 순시전력이론의 수학적인 구조를 변경할 필요가 없다. 본 연구에서 구현된 방법의 타당성을 입증하기 위해, 왜형된 B상 전압을 20% 증가시킨 전원과 불평형 비선형 부하 조건하에서 정상상태 및 과도상태의 실험을 수행하였으며, PSD가 없는 방법에 비하여 구현된 방법의 유용성을 입증할 수 있었다.
