When typical Z-source DC/AC inverter(ZSI) is operated in high voltage gain area, because of its high duty ratio, voltage and current stress in Z-network of typical ZSI are increased. This paper proposes a new switched trans ZSI(STZSI) with two switched trans cells which consist of one trans and two diodes. To confirm the operation performance of the proposed system, the PSIM simulation is performed for typical ZSI, switched inductor ZSI and the proposed STZSI. Voltage / current stress and transient state characteristics of each method are compared under the condition of DC input voltage 100[V] and output phase voltage 66[Vrms]. As a result, we confirmed that transient state of the proposed STZSI is short compared with the conventional ZSI because the high voltage gain is obtained using the same duty ratio, also a low duty ratio is required for the same output voltage. Finally, we could know the proposed system have low voltage and current stress in Z-network compared with the conventional ZSI.

when electric traction system used DC 1500V runs on decline of rail road track and slows down, Dc voltage goes beyond regular voltage. In this case extra power is forcibly wasted by resister because rectifier of substation and electric train including power converter and so on are out of order. This paper described a DC electric railway system, which can generate the excessive DC power form DC bus line to AC source in substation for traction system. The proposed regeneration inverter system for DC traction can be used as both an inverter and an active power filter(APF). As a regeneration inverter mode, it can recycle regenerative energy caused by decelerating tractions and as an active power filter mode, it can compensate for harmonic distortion produced by the rectifier substation. In addition, electric traction system products harmonic current and voltage distortion and reactive power because power converter is used so regeneration inverter normally runs such as active power filter(APF) for improving power quality. From the viewpoint of both power capacity and switching losses, the system is designed on the basis of three phase PWM inverters and composed of parallel inverters, output transformers, and an LCL filter.

In this paper, AC electric vehicle propulsion system(Converter/Inverter) using high power semiconductor, IPM is proposed. 2-Parallel operation of two PWM converter is adopted for increasing capacity of system and the harmonic content is eliminated by the phase shaft between two PWM converters switching phase. VVVF inverter control is used a mixed control algorithm, where the vector control strategy at low speed region and slip-frequency control strategy at high speed region. The proposed propulsion system is verified by experimental results with a 1,350kW converter and 1,100kVA inverter with four 210kW traction motors.

This paper deals with implementation of inverter systems for DC power regeneration, which can regenerate the excessive DC power from DC bus line to AC supply in substations for traction systems. From the viewpoint of both power capacity and switching losses, a three-phase square-wave inverter system is adopted. To control the regenerated power, the magnitude and phase of fundamental output voltages should be appropriately controlled in spite of the variation of input DC voltage. Inverters are operated with modified a-conduction mode to fix the potential of each arm. The overall system consists of the line-to-line voltage and line current sensors, an actual power calculator using d-q transformation method, a complex power controller with PI control scheme, a gating signal generator for modified $\alpha-conduction\;mode\;with\;\delta\;and\;\alpha$, a DPLL for frequency followup, and power circuit.

Given the constraint of the AC input power factor and the DC-link voltage and current ripple in voltage source inverter, minimizing the size and cost of the DC-link fitter components is very important. This paper presents a procedure for the selection of DC-link filler element values in a three-phase PWM voltage source inverter-fed induction motor drive system, which can not only satisfy the requirements for the system performance but also minimize the filter size.

Fuel cell system needs DC-AC conversion inverter system because its output is DC. And the inverter system can be operated not only in stand-alone load but also in interactive mode in interactive mode, it is necessary to control active-reactive power of inverter and to synchronize inverter output voltage to power line voltage. In this paper, a 12 phase multiple VSI type GTO inverter system for fuel cell is described. Synchronization between power line voltage phase and inverter output voltage phase, and reduction of harmonics in the output voltage phase are the purpose of this inverter system. This control algorithm for the system is realized by the software method utilizing 8031AH 8bit Microprocessor.

Energy storage system has been widely applied in power distribution sectors as well as in renewable energy sources to ensure uninterruptible power supply. This paper presents a model predictive algorithm to control a bidirectional AC-DC converter, which is used in an energy storage system for power transferring between the three-phase AC voltage supply and energy storage devices. This model predictive control (MPC) algorithm utilizes the discrete behavior of the converter and predicts the future variables of the system by defining cost functions for all possible switching states. Subsequently, the switching state that corresponds to the minimum cost function is selected for the next sampling period for firing the switches of the AC-DC converter. The proposed model predictive control scheme of the AC-DC converter allows bidirectional power flow with instantaneous mode change capability and fast dynamic response. The performance of the MPC controlled bidirectional AC-DC converter is simulated with MATLAB/Simulink(R) and further verified with 3.0kW experimental prototypes. Both the simulation and experimental results show that, the AC-DC converter is operated with unity power factor, acceptable THD (3.3% during rectifier mode and 3.5% during inverter mode) level of AC current and very low DC voltage ripple. Moreover, an efficiency comparison is performed between the proposed MPC and conventional VOC-based PWM controller of the bidirectional AC-DC converter which ensures the effectiveness of MPC controller.

본 논문에서는 경계 모드(Critical Mode) 플라이백 타입의 DC-AC 인버터에 인터리빙을 적용한 디지털 제어를 제안한다. 연속모드(CCM)나 불연속모드(DCM)와 달리 경계 모드의 경우 주파수가 가변되기 때문에 인터리빙으로 구현하기는 상당히 까다로운 측면이 있다. 또한 아날로그 제어기로 구현에 한계를 지니기 때문에 보다 간편한 구현을 위해 디지털 제어IC을 이용하여 구현하는 방법에 대해 기술한다. 본문에서 200W급 플라이백 타입의 DC-AC 인버터에 경계모드 인터리빙을 방법을 적용한 후 실험으로 검증한다.
