To enhance the competitive edge of the material cost, IP(Integrated Power) Board form of inverter circuit is widely used in large area LCD TV(Greater than or equal to 40 in.). This scheme is Two Stage System and one inverter drives multi-lamp in a parallel circuit. This paper analyzes the conventional IP Board inverter controlled with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), and its problems such as serious hard switching and excessive circulating energy can be solved by a proposed Pulse Count Modulation (PCM) scheme. To confirm the validity and superiority of the proposed system, theoretical analysis and experimental results are presented.

A grid-connected inverter used for renewable energy resources produces harmonic components in the switching frequency. To effectively reduce switching harmonic components, several types of filter are generally used in the output stage of the grid-connected inverter. Many research works on LCL filter design have been done to maintain the performance with low cost. However, it is not easy to make the filter design be economical and optimal due to the varying characteristic of magnetic core and redundancy design by experience. In this paper, a design method for a LCL filter is presented through the inductor optimization scheme in view of the size and cost when the inductor is manufactured using the magnetic core. The effectiveness is verified through tests using a 3kW grid-connected inverter by simulations and experiments.

This paper describes a low-cost single-phase active power filter, which consists of a half-bridge P\A미1 inverter with a s simple control circuit. In order to verify the performance of proposed active power filter, many computer simulations w with EMTP codes and experimental works with a hardware prototype were done. Both results confirm that the p proposed active power filter shows excellent performance to eliminate the harmonics generated in the single-phase non l linear‘ load. The active power filter has advantage of low implementation cost and compact size. using a half-bridge i inverter and a simple control circuit with only one current sensor. So. it can be fabricated as a plug-in type.

This paper proposes a new low-cost current detection method to implement vector-controlled inverter of 3-phase induction motor or permanent-magnet synchronous motor using 2 shunt resistors instead of expensive Hall current sensors. The proposed method can detect perfect phase currents without current-immeasurable area in all operating conditions of motor. This method uses 2 shunt resistors in Hall current sensor positions conventionally used to detect phase currents. Therefore, it requires accurate analog differential amplifiers to detect voltages across shunt resistors at high electric potential to ground. We show the good solutions which are implemented by voltage-divider resistors networks and the instrumentation amplifiers using several Op Amps at cheap price. Computer simulations and experiments were performed to confirm the effectiveness of proposed method. These results show that proposed method can perfectly detect phase currents without current-immeasurable area in all operating conditions of motor.

Conventional vector control inverter is usually used for blower of air-accord equipment. In this paper, it is proposed that inverter is controlled by instantaneous following PWM controller. This controller compensate and follow for output voltage of inverter within one switching cycle as an error that compared output voltage of rectifier included much ripples with reference voltage of sine wave. It has not speedy response like vector controller, but the circuit is very simple as using analog integer. And it has advantages that develop input power factor, built small-capacity and low-cost because huge capacitor of voltage type inverter removed.

This paper presents an optimum hybrid SVPWM technique for three-level voltage source inverters (VSIs). The proposed hybrid SVPWM technique aims to minimize total harmonic distortion (THD). A new parameter is introduced to incorporate the heterogeneous nature of switching sequences of SVPWM technique. The proposed hybrid SVPWM technique is implemented on a low-cost PIC microcontroller (PIC18F452) and verified experimentally with a 2 KVA three-phase three-level insulated gate bipolar transistor-based VSI. Optimum switching sequence results in the three-level inverter configuration are demonstrated. The proposed hybrid SVPWM technique improves the THD performance by 17.3% compared with the best available three-level SVPWM technique.

A new bilateral series resonant inverter and its control method are proposed. The proposed inverter consists of zero current switched cycloconverter. Output voltage is regulated by modulating the average magnitude of resonant current sinusoidally. Cycloconverter synthesizes low frequency output voltage from high frequency resonant current pulses.
