In this paper, a simple power control scheme for a constant frequency Class-D inverter with a variable duty cycle is proposed. It is more suitable and acceptable for high- frequency induction heating (IH) jar applications. The proposed control scheme has the advantages of not only wide power regulation range but also ease of control output power. Also it can achieve a stable and efficient Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) in a whole load range. The control principles of the proposed method are described in detail and its validity is verified through simulated and experimental results on 42.8kHz IGBT for induction heating rated on 1.6kW with constant frequency variable power.

기존 Plasma Burner용 인버터 구동회로의 경우, Full Bridge Inverter를 사용하기 때문에 소자수가 많고 스위칭 손실이 큰 문제점이 있다. 본 논문은 Plasma Burner 구동을 위한 무손실 단일 스위치 인버터를 제안한다. 기존 Full Bridge Inverter를 사용하는 Plasma Burner 구동회로의 경우에는 4개의 스위치를 사용하기 때문에 스위치 손실이 매우 크고, Heat-sink 크기가 커지는 단점이 있다. 반면 제안된 Plasma Burner 구동을 위한 무손실 단일 스위치 인버터는 1개의 스위치를 사용하고, 스너버의 전력 손실이 최소화되기 때문에 전력 손실이 매우 작고 Heat-sink 최소화 및 고효율화가 가능한 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 Plasma Burner 구동을 위한 무손실 단일 스위치 인버터의 이론적인 특성을 분석하고 모의실험을 통해 확인하였으며, 15W급 Plasma Bunrer에 적용하여 실험을 통해 우수성을 검증하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to describe and demonstrate how a utility-connectable inverter for photovoltaic or fuel-cell applications can be well modeled using PSCAD/EMTDC. In this paper, a single-phase IGBT inverter using SPWM is modeled. Simple voltage magnitude and phase controls are implemented using PSCAD's Pl controller, PLL, and a 'user defined' component called Modulo (found in their extensive collection of example circuits). The circuit model also takes advantage of PSCAD's interpolated firing pulse option, which provides improved simulation results by preventing errors from being introduced when switches fire between time simulation steps. Additionally, SCAD's Online Frequency Scanner for FFT is utilized for a demonstration of PSCAD's frequency-domain analysis capabilities.

A coupled inductor-dual boost-inverter (CIDBI) with a differential structure has been presented for application to a micro-inverter photovoltaic module system due to its turn ratio of a high-voltage level. However, it is difficult to design a CIDBI converter with a conventional PI regulator to be stable and achieve good dynamic performance, given the fact that it is a high order system. In view of this situation, a sliding mode control (SMC) strategy is introduced in this paper, and two different sliding mode controllers (SMCs) are proposed and adopted in the left and right side of two Boost sub-circuits to implement the corresponding regulation of the voltage and current. The schemes of the SMCs have been elaborated in this paper including the establishment of a system variable structure model, selection of the sliding surface, determination of the control law, and presentation of the reaching conditions and sliding domain. Finally, the mathematic analysis and the proposed SMC are verified by experimental results.

There are many increasing demands for efficient high power density of auxiliary power unit(APU) for high speed traction application. Many techniques have been proposed to measure the voltage flicker on the traditional pulse width modulation(PWM) inverter. This paper proposes a novel functionality of the static inverter on the APU to mitigate the voltage flicker and regulate the output voltage. A new control algorithm for the inverter based on the Hilbert transform(HT) is presented. The HT is employed as an effective technique for tracking the voltage flicker levels in APU systems. Simulation results are provided to verify the tracking capabilities of the HT and to evaluate the performance of the proposed DG interface for multi-function operation.

본 논문에서는 VIS (voltage inverter switch)를 사용한 SCF(switched capacitor filter) 설계 방법에 있어서 종래에 발표된 clocking scheme을 일반화하고, 이로써 생기는 RC, RL 등의 병렬소자들과 유손실 또는 무손실 LC 병렬공진 소자들을 제시하였다. 또 이들 업자들을 SCF의 설계에 응용함으로써 종래의 방법에 비해 연산증폭기와 Capacitor의 수를 줄일 수 있는 설계 방법에 대해 기술하였다. 이 결과로 SCF를 더욱 작은 칩(chip) 면적으로 집적화 할 수 있겠다. 또 새로운 구조를 갖는 VIS를 제시하고 이를 사명한 저역통과 여파기와 간단한 대역골지 여파기를 실험하여 그 결과가 이론치와 잘 일치함을 보였다.

In this paper we present a Capacitor Charging Power Supply (CCPS) using a series-resonant three-level inverter topology to improve voltage regulation and use semiconductor switches having low blocking voltage capability such as MOSFETs. This inverter can be operated with two modes, Full Power Mode (FPM) and Half Power Mode (HPM). In FPM inverter supplies the high frequency step up transformer with full DC-link voltage and in HPM with half DC-link voltage. HPM switching method will be adopted when CCPS output voltage reaches the preset target value and operates in refresh mode-charge is maintained on the capacitor. In this topology each semiconductor devices blocks a half of the DC-link voltage[2]. A 15kW, 30kV CCPS has been built and will be tested for an electric precipitator application. The CCPS operates from an input voltage of 500VDC and has a variable output voltage between 10 to 30kV and 1kHz repetition rate at 44nF capacitive load [3]. A resonant frequency of 67.9kHz was selected and a voltage regulation of $0.83\%$ has been achieved through the use of half power mode without using the forced cut off the switch current [1]. The theory of operation, circuit topology and test results are given.

In this paper, using interleaved power factor correction how to improve the inverter efficiency studied. Interleaved method can reduce the conduction losses and the inductor energy. Generally, critical conduction mode (CRM) boost PFC converter used low power level because of the high peak currents. if you use the interleaved mode, CRM PFC can be used medium or high power application. interleaved CRM PFC can reduce current ripple for higher system reliability and size of buck capacitor and EMI filter size. Interleaved CRM PFC that is installed in front of inverter can maintain the constant voltage regardless of the input voltage.

A novel control method of a three-phase PWM inverter with LC filter is proposed. The transfer function of LC filter is the same as that of 2nd order low pass filter(2nd LPF) which has a zero damping ratio. A simple method of implementing 2nd LPF with damping ratio is to add resistor to inductor or capacitor of LC filter. In an industrial application, it is not practical to adopt damping resistor because it results in losses being proportional to square of current flowing through resistor. Instead of using damping resistors, the proposed active damping control(ADC) utilizes all pass filter(APF) and considers inherent processing delay of digital controller. The overall transfer function of the proposed method is the same as a 2nd LPF and its damping ratio is also controllable via control variables. Detailed design and implementation of controller is also presented. Experiments are conducted with a 7.5kVA induction motor drive system controlled by PWM converter and inverter. Test waveforms are also presented to verify the proposed LC filter control algorithm.

Finite-set predictive current control (FS-PCC) is advantageous for power converters due to its high dynamic performance and has received increasing interest in multilevel inverters. Among multilevel inverter topologies, the cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter is popular and mature in the industry. However, a main drawback of FS-PCC is its large computational burden, especially for the application of CHB inverters. In this paper, an FS-PCC method based on a deadbeat solution for three-phase zero-common-mode-voltage CHB inverters is proposed. In the proposed method, an inverse model of the load is utilized to calculate the reference voltage based on the reference current. In addition, a cost function is directly expressed in the terms of the voltage errors. An optimal control actuation is selected by minimizing the cost function. In the proposed method, only three instead of all of the control actuations are used for the calculations in one sampling period. This leads to a significant reduction in computations. The proposed method is tested on a three-phase 5-level CHB inverter. Simulation and experimental results show a very similar and comparable control performance from the proposed method compared with the traditional FS-PCC method which evaluates the cost function for all of the control actuations.
