In this paper, a new single phase voltage sag/swell compensator using direct power conversion is proposed. A new compensator consists of input/output filter, series transformer and direct ac-ac converter, which is a single-phase back-to-back PWM converter without dc-link capacitors. Advantages of the proposed compensator include: simple power circuit by eliminating dc link electrolytic capacitors and thereby, improved reliability and increased life time of the entire compensator; simple PWM strategy or compensating voltage sag/swell at the same time and reduced switching losses in the ac-ac converter. Further, the proposed scheme is able to adopt simple switch commutation method without requiring complex four-step commutation method that is commonly employed in the direct power conversion. Simulation and experimental results are shown to demonstrate the advantages of the new compensator and PWM strategy. A 220V, 3kVA single-phase compensator based on the digital signal processor controller is built and tested.

이 논문은 새로운 인터리브 방식 삼상 절연형 고효율 부스트 컨버터를 제안한다. 이 컨버터는 삼상 전력변환 방식을 채택하여 보다 큰 전력전송 능력을 갖으며 각 상의 rms 전류값이 작으므로 전도손실도 작다. 이에 더하여, 삼상 부스트 컨버터의 인터리브 동작으로 인하여 입력 전류 리플이 줄어들고, 실효 동작 주파수의 증가로 필터소자의 크기가 작아져서 높은 전력밀도를 갖는다. 부스트 컨버터 출력의 각 상 전류는 제안된 3 상 PWM 구동방식에 따라 전류 연속모드로 동작하여 3 상 변압기로 통합된다. 이 컨버터는 전도손실이 작아 96% 이상의 효율로 동작하며 능동클램프의 작용으로 스위칭 손실도 역시 작다. 제안된 컨버터와 PWM 구동방식을 분석 및 시뮬레이션 하고 하드웨어로 제작하였다. 제작된 시제품을 500 W 급으로 실험하여 모든 설계검증 및 해석을 실시하였다.

This paper presents a novel three-phase current-fed Pulse Width Modulation converter with switched capacitor type resonant DC link commutation circuit operating PWM pattern strategy under a design consideration of low-pass filter, which can operate on the basis of the principle of zero current soft switching commutation. In the first place, the steady state operating principle of this converter with a new resonant DC link snubber circuit is described in connection with the equivalent operation circuit, together with the practical design procedure of the switched-capacitor type resonant DC link circuit is discussed from a theoretical viewpoint on the basis of a design example for high-power applications. The actively delayed time correction method to compensate distorted currents due to a relatively long resonant commutation time is newly implemented in the open loop control scheme so as to acquire the new optimum PWM pattern. Finally, the experiment of set-up in laboratory system of this converter is concretely demonstrated herein to confirm a zero current soft-switching commutation of this converter. The comparative evaluations between current-fed hard switching PWM and soft-switching PWM converters are carried out from a viewpoint of their PWM converter characteristics.

AC/DC 전력변환장치로서 위상제어 컨버터나 출력전압을 제어할 수 없는 다이오드 정류기는 역률저하 및 저차고조파 발생의 문제점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 역률개선 및 고조파 감소의 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 3상 PWM AC/DC Boost 컨버터에 대해 연구하였다. 제안한 컨버터의 특성은 입력 단에 전류 센서 없이 전압 센서만을 사용하여 입력전류의 위상을 조정하는 비교적 간단한 알고리즘으로 단위역률을 구현하였으며, 일정 주파수로 스위칭 소자를 구동시키는 정현 PWM 방식을 채용하여 불규칙한 스위칭 주파수 방식에서 나타나는 입력필터의 설계 및 스위칭 소자 선정에 대한 어려움을 극복하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 제어알고리즘을 시뮬레이션 한 결과 부하영역 및 발전영역에서도 단위역률이 잘 이루어졌으며 DC link 단의 출력전압이 거의 리플 없이 다이나믹한 응답특성을 보였다. 또 시뮬레이션으로 얻어진 회로정수를 바탕으로 인덕터 및 커패시터의 용량을 적절한 크기로 산정하여 실험 에 적용한 결과 같은 부하조건에서 다이오드 정류기와 비교하여 역률 및 저차 고조파가 현저하게 개선되었음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents a high-efficient and cost effective three-phase AC/DC-DC/AC power conversion system with a single two-switch type active Auxiliary Resonant DC Link (ARDCL) snubber circuit, which can minimize the total power dissipation. The active ARDCL snubber circuit is proposed in this paper and its unique features are described. Its operation principle in steady-state is discussed for the three phase AC/DC-DC/AC converter, which is composed of PWM rectifier as power factor correction (PFC) converter, sinewave PWM inverter. In the presented power converter system not only three-phase AC/DC PWM rectifier but also three-phase DC/AC inverter can achieve the stable ZVS commutation for all the power semiconductor devices. It is proved that the proposed three-phase AC/DC-DC/AC converter system is more effective and acceptable than the previous from the cost viewpoint and high efficient consideration. In addition, the proposed two-switch type active auxiliary ARDCL snubber circuit can reduce the peak value of the resonant inductor injection current in order to maximize total system actual efficiency by using the improved DSP based control scheme. Moreover the proposed active auxiliary two-switch ARDCL snubber circuit has the merit so that there is no need to use any sensing devices to detect the voltage and current in the ARDCL sunbber circuit for realizing soft-switching operation. This three-phase AC/DC-DC/AC converter system developed for UPS can achieve the 1.8% higher efficiency and 20dB lower conduction noise than those of the conventional three-phase hard-switching PWM AC/DC-DC/AC converter system. It is proved that actual efficiency of the proposed three-phase AC/DC-DC/AC converter system operating under a condition of soft switching is 88.7% under 10kw output power.

This work deals with a switching method for minimizing overcurrent in a three-phase interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converter with frequency modulation. Generally, a three-phase interleaved DC-DC converter is used to reduce a current ripple component. The combined operation of three-phase and two-phase converters can significantly reduce the ripple component. However, the conventional PWM method cannot solve severe overcurrent during phase transfer or frequency variation for power control. To overcome this problem, this work proposes a new PWM switching method. A 3 kW DC-DC power converter is designed and implemented, and the converter is operated in discontinuous current mode with varying switching frequencies for power control. Simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed switching method. The proposed switching method can be widely used in the field of current ripple reduction for three-phase interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converters.
