본 논문에서는 단상 Quasi Z-source AC/AC converter 2대의 출력을 직렬로 연결하여 6.6[kV]/60[Hz]의 배전계통의 전압변동을 보상하는 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 기존의 단상 Quasi Z-source AC/AC converter의 전압변동 보상기가 보상 못 하는 구간, 즉 배전계통에서 많이 발생하는 50[%] 미만의 전압 sag를 보상할 수 있는 장점이 있다. PSIM시뮬레이션에 의하여, 제안된 방법은 정상전압에 대하여 연속적으로 전압변동이 발생하여도 보상할 수 있었다.

In the single-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive, the required DC source is generally supplied by the circuit consisting of bridge rectifier with diodes and many filter capacitances connected with AC source. Although the peak torque ripple of SRM is small because of large capacity of the capacitance, the charge and discharge time swhich the AC source acts on the capacitance are small and the peak current will pass on the side of source, so power factor and system efficiency decrease. Therefore a novel SRM drive system is presented in this paper, which includes drive circuit realizing reduction of torque ripple and improvement of power factor and switching topology. The proposed drive circuit consists of one switching part and diodes which can separate the output of AC/DC rectifier from the large capacitance and supply power to SRM alternately in order to realize reduction of torque ripple and improvement of power factor through the turn on and turn off of switching part. In addition, the validity of method is tested by simulation and experiment.

We have proposed the dimming controller using the AC chopper technique. The AC chopper changes the amplitude of the input source voltage with the same frequency. The conventional dimming controller is operated by controlling voltage phase with the triac. It has bad characteristics of the input current THD and the input power factor But the dimming controller using the ac chopper technique has a low current THD and a good power factor. The developed dimming controller is consist of the IGBT and the low pass filter. The system is operated by the variation circuit of the input source voltage and the microprocessor.

In this paper, a novel concept for a static three-phase to three-phase power converter for an AC drive with a unity power factor and reduced harmonics on the utility line is presented. The power circuit consists of two back-to-back connected six-pulse bridges having only a $\mu$F ceramic capacitor in the DC link. By controlling the active kpower balance between two bridges, the DC link voltage can be maintained within 20V deviation from the nominal value with the small ceramic capacitors regardless of the load variation even in the unbalanced source condition.

In this paper, direct power control system for three-phase PWM AC/DC converter without the source voltage sensors is proposed. The sinusoidal input current and unity effective power factor are realised based on the estimated flux in the observer. Both active and reactive power calculated using estimated flux. The estimation of flux is performed based on the Reduced-order flux observer using the actual currents and the command control voltage. The source voltage sensors are replaced by a flux estimator. The active and reactive powers estimation are performed based on the estimated flux and Phase anble. The proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment.

This study deals with the modulation index (MI) of a voltage source converter (VSC) HVDC system based on a modular multilevel converter (MMC). In the two-level converter, the purpose of the MI is to maximize the achievable AC voltage of the converter from a fixed DC voltage. Unlike that in a two-level converter, the MI in the MMC topology plays a role in making the converter a voltage source using a capacitor. The circulating current in the MMC distorts the AC voltage reference, and the distortion affects the MI. In addition, the AC network conditions, such as AC voltage variation and reactive power, affect the MI. Therefore, the MI should be optimized with consideration of internal and external factors. This study proposes a method to optimize the MI of an MMC HVDC system.

A new family of single-phase Z-source ac-ac converter(SZAC) based on single-phase matrix converter (SPMC) is proposed in this paper. Compared to conventional Z-source ac-ac converter, the proposed SZAC has unique feature: providing a wide range of output ac voltage with buck/boost in-phase (maintaining phase angle) and buck/boost out-of-phase (reversing phase angle) operation. A new commutation strategy is used to eliminate voltage spikes on switches. The operating principle of the proposed SZAC is presented. Analysis and experimental results are also presented.

AC/AC power conversion is widely used to feed AC loads with a variable voltage and/or a variable frequency from a constant voltage constant frequency power grid or to connect critical loads to an unreliable power supply while delivering a very balanced and accurate sinusoidal voltage system of constant amplitude and frequency. The load specifications will clearly impose the requirements for the inverter stage of the power converter, while wider ranges of choices are available for the rectifier. This paper investigates the utilization of a buck-type current source rectifier as the active front-end stage of an AC/AC converter for applications that require an adjustable DC-link voltage as well as elimination of the low-frequency common mode voltage. The proposed solution is to utilize a combination of two or more zero current vectors in the Space Vector Modulation (SVM) technique for Current Sources Rectifiers (CSR).
