This paper investigates the effects of applying different input current waveshapes on the performance of a continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) power-factor-correction (PFC) boost pre-regulator. It is found that the output voltage ripple of the pre-regulator can be reduced if the input current is modified to include controlled amount of higher order harmonics. This finding allows us to balance the performance of output regulation and the harmonic current emission when coming to the design of the pre-regulator. An experimental PFC boost pre-regulator prototype is constructed to verify the analysis and show the benefit of the pre-regulator operating with input current containing higher order harmonics.

본 논문에서는 센서 신호를 전류형태로 수신할 때 유리한 노튼 증폭기에서 전류 입력 시 발생하는 문제점을 분석하고 이를 개선하기 위한 회로를 제시하였다. 출력전압이 일정하게 유지되는 특성을 지닌 연산 증폭기로 구성된 버퍼회로의 출력을 전류의 입력단으로 활용하고, 이 때 버퍼회로에 흐르는 전원전류를 감지해 전류 입력단에서 유입되는 전류를 추출하도록 구성하였다. 제시한 회로의 성능을 확인하기 위해 회로를 구성하고 실험용 전류를 입력했을 때 나타나는 결과를 확인하였으며, 동일한 조건을 노튼 증폭기에 적용했을 때의 결과와 비교하였다. 비교 결과 기존의 노튼 증폭기에서 문제가 되었던 입력 오프셋 전압이 제시한 회로에서는 0V로서 제거되었고, 입력전류에 대한 출력전압의 평균오차는 무려 4.755%로 크게 줄어드는 등 전체적인 특성이 크게 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

반도체 공정의 발달로 집적도가 증가하고 문턱전압이 감소하면서, 반도체 집적회로 소모 전력에서 누설전류(leakage current)의 비중이 점차 증가하고 있다. 대기 상태에서 CMOS 조합 회로(combinational circuit)는 입력 값에 따라 누설전류가 크게 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 누설전류로 인한 소모전력을 줄이기 위해 대기 상태 (standby state) 회로의 입력 신호를 제어하며, 작은 누설전류를 갖는 입력 신호를 찾기 위한 새로운 효율적인 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이 방법을 벤치마크 예제에 실험적으로 적용하여 누설전류 평균값에 비해 15.7%, simulated evolution 방법에 비해 6.7% 누설전류를 줄일 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 순차 회로에서도 idle 입력을 이용하여 누설전류 평균값에 비해 6.8%, simulated evolution 방법에 비해 3.2% 누설전류를 줄일 수 있었다.

Power factor improved for single-phase buck-converter is studied in the paper. To sinusoidal waveform the input current with a near-unity power factor over a wide variety of operating conditions, the output capacitor is operated with voltage reversibility for the supply by arranging the auxiliary diode and power switching device. Then the output voltage is superposed on the input voltage during on time duration of power switching devices in order to minimize the input current distortion caused by the small input voltage when changing the polarity. The tested setup, using two insulated gate bipolar transistors(IGBT) and a microcomputer, is implemented and IGBT are switched with 20[kHz], which is out of the audible band. Moreover, a rigorous state-space analysis is introduced to predict the operation of the rectifier. The simulated results confirm that the input current can be sinusoidal waveform with a near-unity power factor and a satisfactory output voltage regulation can be achieved.

This paper suggests the modified delay compensation scheme under the control input saturation in order to improve the control performance. This scheme uses the real estimated control input instead of the direct command control input. The simulation results show that this scheme can improve the current control performance under the delay time and the limited control input.

This paper proposes a new series-connected diode rectifier which draws sinusoidal input currents. The proposed rectifier system is configured by adding an auxiliary circuit to the conventional 12-pulse series-connected diode rectifier and employing a current injection technique. A low kVA($0.02P_{\circ}$(PU) ) active current source injects a triangular current into the interphase reactor of the diode rectifier. The current injection results in near sinusoidal input current from the utility with less than 1% THD. The resulting system is suitable for high voltage and high power applications. Experimental and simulation results are provided from a 220V, 3kVA prototype rectifier system.

매트릭스 컨버터는 3상의 입력 전원이 전력용 반도체 스위치의 제어를 통해 3상의 부하에 직접 연결되는 에너지 변환 장치이다. 에너지 저장을 위한 직류단이 없어 매트릭스 컨버터의 입력 전류는 부하 전류와 스위치 상태에 직접 의존한다. 그러므로 불평형 또는 왜곡된 입력 전압은 원치 않은 출력 고조파 전류의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 매트릭스 컨버터의 입력 전원 외란 상황에서 출력 전류를 개선하는 신경회로망 기반 전류 보상기를 제안한다. 제안된 기법 타당성과 유효성을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 증명한다.

This paper presents a current control strategy in the synchronous reference frame for a single-phase PWM converter, which ensures sinusoidal input current control under the distorted source voltage and frequency condition. Given that the distorted source voltage distorts the phase angle for PWM converter control, the input current contains the same harmonics as the source voltage. Aside from the distorted voltage, the variation in source frequency reduces the performance of input current control. To achieve sinusoidal input current control under the distorted source voltage and frequency condition, this paper proposes a compensation strategy of current reference with the distortion component extracted from the phase angle and a detection strategy of frequency variation from the output of a synchronous reference frame phase-lock loop. The experimental results confirm the validity of the proposed method under the distorted source voltage and frequency condition.

This paper is studied on a novel power factor correction (PFC) AC-DC converter of high efficiency by soft switching technique. The input current waveform in the proposed converter is got to be a sinusoidal form composed of many a discontinuous pulse in proportion to the magnitude of a ac input voltage under the constant switching frequency. Therefore, the input power factor is nearly unity and the control method is simple. The proposed converter adding an electric isolation operates with a discontinuous current mode (DCM) of the reactor in order to obtain some merits of simpler control, such as fixed switching frequency, without synchronization control circuit used in continuous current mode (CCM). To achieve the soft switching (ZCS or ZVS) of control devices, the converter is constructed with a new loss-less snubber for a partial resonant circuit. It is that the switching losses are very low and the efficiency of the converter is high, Particularly, the stored energy in a loss-less snubber capacitor recovers into input side and increases input current from a resonant operation. The result is that the input power factor of the proposed converter is higher than that of a conventional PFC converter. This paper deals mainly with the circuit operations, theoretical, simulated and experimental results of the proposed PFC AC-DC converter in comparison with a conventional PFC AC-DC converter.
