This paper presents a full digital control strategy for parallel connected modular inverter systems. Each modular inverter is a high frequency (HF) AC link inverter which is composed of a HF inverter and a HF transformer followed by a cycloconverter. To achieve equal sharing of the load current and to suppress the circulating currents among the modules, a three-loop control strategy, consisting of a common output voltage regulation (OVR) loop, individual circulating current suppression (CCS) loops and individual inner current tracking (ICT) loops, is proposed. The ICT loops are implemented with predictive current control from which high precision current tracking can be obtained. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by simulation and experimental results from parallel connected two full-bridge HF AC link inverter modules.

High frequency AC (HFAC) power distribution systems delivering power through a high frequency AC link with sinusoidal voltage have the advantages of simple structure and high efficiency. In a multiple module system, where multiple resonant inverters are paralleled to the high frequency AC bus through connection inductors, it is necessary for the output voltage phase angles of the inverters be controlled so that the circulating current among the inverters be minimized. However, the phase angle of the resonant inverters output voltage can not be controlled with conventional phase shift modulation or pulse width modulation. The phase angle is a function of both the phase of the gating signals and the impedance of the resonant tank. In this paper, we proposed a pulse phase modulation (PPM) concept for the resonant inverters, so that the phase angle of the output voltage can be regulated. The PPM can be used to minimize the circulating current between the resonant inverters. The mechanisms of the phase angle control and the PPM were explained. The small signal model of a PPM controlled half-bridge resonant inverter was analyzed. The concept was verified in a half bridge resonant inverter with a series-parallel resonant tank. An HFAC power distribution system with two resonant inverters connected in parallel to a 500kHz, 28V AC bus was presented to demonstrate the applicability of the concept in a high frequency power distribution system.

본 논문에서는 가변속 교류 전동기 구동에 많이 사용되는 3상 ac/dc/ac PWM 컨버터 시스템에서의 직류링크 리플전류를 주파수 영역에서 해석하고자 한다. 고조파 전류는 컨버터의 스위칭함수와 지수함수 형태의 퓨리에 급수 전개를 이용하여 분석된다. 전원측 컨버터와 부하측 인버터의 스위칭 주기간의 변위각과 비동기 PW이 리플전류에 미치는 영향도 고찰된다. 해석 결과가 PSIM을 이용한 시뮬레이션으로부터 나온 고조파 스펙트럼과 잘 일치함을 확인한다 제시된 해석기법은 PWM의 원리에 대한 이해를 돕고, 해석 결과는 직류링크 커패시터의 고주파 등가 모델링에 이용된다.

Front end AC to DC converters of the boost type are used in traction applications for generating the DC link for the inverters. A GTO based converter is usually switched with a switching frequency of 300 to 500Hz, resulting in low frequency harmonic problems. In order to avoid this, multiple converters with Phase shifted carrier waveforms are used to suppress the low frequency harmonics. A detailed study of an AC to DC converter, with two converters parallely operated with Phase shifted carrier wave farms is Presented in this paper.

태양 에너지는 재생 가능하고 오염이 없는 특성으로 바람직한 에너지 원이다. 계통에 이용하기 위해서는 dc-dc 컨버터와 계통 연계 do-ac 인버터가 필요하다. dc-dc 컨버터는 태양광 시스템이 높은 dc전압에 동작하기 위하여 필요하고, 인버터는 계통에 연결하기 위하여 필요한 전압과 주파수를 만들어 내는데 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 첫째로 단상 계통 연계 인버터에서 전류 루프 전달 함수가 유도되고, 둘째로 컨버터 측에서 컨덕턴스 증가 방식의 MPPT 방식이 제안하여 인버터 측에 최대 전력을 공급하는데 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과가 계통에서 태양광 인버터 시스템의 성능과 특성을 보여준다.
