In this paper, a single-sourced PV PCS using the trinary asymmetric MLI with a single-ended pre-regulator is proposed. Trinary based asymmetric CHB inverters provide higher output levels for the same number of cells compared to other CHB inverters. However, there is an issue of regeneration with trinary asymmetric inverters and this complicates the system with requirement of bi-directional converters at the input. Modified commutation strategies have been used to remove the regeneration issue with compromise in THD. The single-ended pre-regulator provides the isolated dc-link voltage for the individual H-bridge cells with the advantage of having a single switch and magnetic component. This implementation increases the magnetic utilization of the inductor core and reduces the switching loss in the pre-regulator and also the reduced parts count contributes to the cost competiveness of the proposed PCS. The proposed PV PCS has been verified using simulation results in this paper.

Voltage feed-forward control (VFFC) is widely used in LCL-type grid-tied inverters due to its advantages in terms of disturbance rejection performance and fast dynamic response. However, VFFC may worsen the stability of inverters under weak grid conditions. It is revealed in this paper that a large phase-lag in the low-frequency range is introduced by VFFC, which reduces the phase margin significantly and leads to instability. To address this problem, a novel virtual-impedance-based control, where a phase-lead is introduced into the low-frequency area to compensate for the phase lag caused by VFFC, is proposed to improve system stability. The proposed control is realized with a high-pass filter, without high-order-derivative components. It features easy implementation and good noise immunity. A detailed design procedure for the virtual impedance control is presented. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the control proposed.

화석연료의 고갈로 인하여 친환경 자동차에 대한 연구와 상용화가 급속도로 진행되면서 점점 대형 차종으로 그 범위가 넓어지고 있다. 대형 차종에 적용되는 전기동력 시스템의 MCU(Motor Control Unit), GCU(Generator Control Unit), DC/DC 컨버터 등과 같은 전장품도 그 용량이 커지면서 상용화를 위해 효율적인 측면도 많이 부각되지만 스위칭 소자, 변압기, 초크, 다이오드 등에서 동작으로 인해 열이 발생하고 제품의 구조상 밀폐된 공간에 장착이 되기 때문에 발열로 인한 동작의 신뢰성과 제품의 내구성에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 그중 가장 발열이 심한 IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) 등과 같은 스위칭 소자에서 발생하는 열을 효과적으로 냉각시키기 위해 수냉구조가 필수적이며 동일한 조건의 수압, 유량에 보다 높은 방열특성을 가지기 위해 냉각구조에 대한 해석이 제품을 개발 전에 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 유로의 냉각핀 형상과 유로 구조에 따라 방열특성이 어떠한 차이가 있는지 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 통하여 비교하고, 모사발열체를 이용한 방열부의 냉각 성능 시험과 다이나모 환경의 최대 출력 시험을 통하여 방열 특성을 확인하였다.

X-ray equipment used to diagnose a patient has a big defect of a patient's exposure to radiation caused in irradiating X-ray to the human body, ICRP restricts the permissible exposure dose of the human body. A number of studies has been proceeded to reduce these exposures. In this study the high voltage generator with inverter system, which is possible to increase the generation efficiency of X-ray and to control the precise output power was produced. Also, to minimize the ripple which is possible to occur in the direct voltage that is applied to X-ray tube the propagation rectification method was applied and the radiation reproducibility and properties were evaluated to use this for the diagnosis of patient.

Recently, with the growth of photovoltaic system, many researchers and companies have concerned about the multi-level inverter which has an efficiency of boosting voltage. In this paper a novel structure of multi-level converter for reducing ripple of output voltage is proposed. In the proposed converter Buck converters are connected in series to generate the output voltage and the ripple of output voltage can be reduced compared with the exiting Buck converter. Especially when outputting lower output voltage the number of acting switching elements is less and the result of ripple reducing is more obvious. This paper implements a multi-level switching function based on the FPGA.

In this paper, we construct a Virtual D-STATCOM using a number of grid-connected inverters installed in solar and wind power plants and compensate the reactive power of the cable depending on the reactive power of the load of the power distribution system and the distance to the power distribution line We propose a method to compensate the reactive power of the PCC stage near the substation without installing the existing single large capacity D-STATCOM. The proposed method is verified by Matlab Simulink simulation and its operation principle and reactive power compensation.

This paper introduces an active power dependent standard characteristic curve, Q(P) to compensate for voltage variations due to the output of distributed generation. This paper presents an efficient control method of grid-connected inverters by comparing and analyzing voltage variation magnitude and line loss according to the compensation method. Voltage variations are caused not only by active power, but also by the change of reactive power flowing in the line. In particular, the system is in a relatively remote place in a coastal area compared with existing power plants, so it is relatively weak and may not be suitable for voltage control. So, since it is very important to keep the voltage below the normal voltage limit within the specified inverter capacity and to minimize line loss due to the reactive power. we describe the active power dependent standard characteristic curve, Q(P) method and verify the magnitude of voltage variation by simulation. Finally, the characteristics of each control method and line loss are compared and analyzed.

This paper proposes a method related to fault tolerance operation and characteristic analysis of asymmetric 6-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor. In general, motor drive systems with multi-phase structures can be continuously operated despite a reduction of power and speed by using a phase changeover or control techniques according to the failures. As a result, it is widely used in industrial fields such as aviation and defense, which require high efficiency and high reliability. In this paper, the second order ripple of the electrical fundamental freuqnecy occurs in the dq-axis currents of the synchronous coordinate system through mathematical analysis according to the switch open of the dual 3-phase inverter. Therefore, the fault tolerant operation method is presented by applying the fault detection method with a constant cycle for continuous operations. The effectiveness of the proposed fault tolerance operation method is verified through the several experiments.
