본 논문에서는 전압원 인버터의 출력전압 파형을 개선하여 PWM방식을 사용할 수 없는 중 대용량급 모터드라이버 및 UPS, STATCOM, SVC등에 적용하기 위한 새로운 3상 전압원 24-스텝 인버터를 제안한다 보조회로로서 사용한 컨버터로 리플전압을 발생시키고 이를 기존의 12-스텝 인버터에 주입하는데 한대의 링크를 사용하면 12-스텝 동작이 24-스텝으로 전환되며 보조 변압기의 1차 권선을 2N(N=1,2,3...)으로 늘리면 12M-스텝(M=2,3,4..)으로 전환된다. 본 방식의 타당성을 실험 및 시뮬레이션을 통하여 입증하였다.
Now, in this paper, going to present you with an Idea related to a new inverter of multi-step voltage source, that Is, the double-connected 12-step inverter with an auxiliary circuit. It possibly can be 24-step inverter with 3-phase voltage source which will enable us make full application even to medium and high power-level Motor drive, UPS, STATCOM, SVC, etc. in which the PWM method could not be employed. 24-step operation can be obtained from the link between the existing 12-step inverter and the additional auxiliary circuit in which the transformer of auxiliary circuit generates ripple voltage delivered to the inverter. Through a lot of experiments and simulations, (from which the validity of this scheme is confirmed,) we came to the conclusion that the increase of the primary winding number on transformer by 2N(N=1,2,3....) leads to the 12M-step(M=2,3,4...) inverter. The validity of the proposed scheme is confirmed by the simulated and experimental results.
