The low-voltage induction motors have been widely driven by IGBT PWM inverters, ever since it was used to apply variable speed drives. Recently, the insulation failures of the stator windings become critical problems due to the high ratio of dv/dt in IGBT PWM inverters. In this paper, the detailed insulation tests on the IGBT PWM inverter fed induction motor are carried out. Five different types of insulation techniques are used to ti induction motors. The change of the insulation characteristics such as partial discharge, AC current, capacitance, and dissipation factor are compared. respectively In addition, insulation breakdown tests using the high voltage pulse are performed, and corresponding breakdown voltages are analyzed.

전력 전자 시스템 내의 전도성 노이즈는 반도체 스위칭 소자의 고속 동작에 큰 영향을 받는다. 특히 실리콘 카바이드 (SiC) 등의 신소재 반도체 소자 (wide band-gap device, WBG device) 특유의 고속 dv/dt 특성이 전력전자모듈 (power electronics module, PEM) 내의 기생 용량 (parasitic capacitance)에 인가될 경우 상당한 전도성 노이즈의 원인이 되므로 이를 해결할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 유전율이 낮은 재료를 PEM 내부에 사용함으로써 기생 용량을 줄이고, 따라서 공통 모드 전류의 발생 또한 최소화할 수 있는 설계를 제안한다. 제안된 PEM 설계 기법은 외부 필터를 필요로 하지 않으며, PEM 내의 스위칭 소자-방열 소자간 열저항 (thermal resistance)를 증가시키지 않으면서도 기생 용량을 최소화하여 노이즈를 억제한다. 제안된 방법으로 제작된 PEM을 1 kW 출력 100 kHz 스위칭 주파수의 강압형 dc-dc 컨버터에 적용하여 공통모드 전도성 전류가 줄어듬을 증명하였다.

The recent advancements in power electronic switching devices have enabled high frequency switching operation and have improved the performance of pulse-width modulated (PWM) inverters for driving induction motors. But, the insulation failures of stator winding have attracted much concern due to high dv/dt of IGBT PWM inverter. In this paper, the test results for evaluation on the stator winding insulation of low-voltage induction motors for IGBT PWM inverter applications are presented. The insulation characteristics are analyzed with partial discharge and dissipation factor tests. Also, insulation breakdown tests by switching pulse voltage are performed. An effective insulation technique to enhance the insulation strength is suggested from the test results.

VSC-HVDC system based on Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is an emerging technology since compared to the conventional VSC-HVDC system an MMC presents several advantages such as modularity, low dv/dt, low harmonics, and low switching losses. In this paper, a comprehensive control strategy of an MMC-based VSC-HVDC system is proposed. In contrast to the conventional system control strategy, the DC side of the MMC operates as a controlled voltage source by the proposed method, and the dynamics of the transmission line voltage and current can be actively controlled. Validity of the proposed strategy was verified by 201-level full-scale computer simulation.

The thyristor turn-off model plays an important part in the design of thyristor snubber circuit. However, it is difficult to determine the thyristor turn-off characteristics. In this paper two methods to establish the simple thyristor turn-off model are proposed based on the reverse recovery characteristics given in the data sheets. Using the simple thyristor turn-off model, the optimum thyristor snubber circuit design procedures are presented considering maximum voltage spike, maximum reverse dv/dt, and turn-off loss.

본 논문에서는 친환경 차량의 On-board charger를 위한 ZVZCS 하프브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안하는 컨버터는 다이오드에 병렬 연결된 작은 커패시터로 인하여 Asymmetrical PWM 스위칭시의 단점인 상 하측 스위치의 전류 비대칭성을 완화시키며 스위치 최대 전류를 감소시켜 턴오프 손실을 줄일수 있다. 또한 다이오드 턴오프시 dv/dt가 매우 작아 스위칭 손실 및 노이즈를 최소화 할 수 있다.
