PWM 인버터에 의하여 구동되는 유도전동기는 뛰어난 동작특성을 가지고 있지만, 커먼 모드 전압과 고주파 누설전류를 야기한다. 이 고주파 누설 전류는 여러가지 문제점을 일으킨다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 일으키는 고주파 누설 전류와 커먼 모드 진압을 감쇄하기 위하여 커먼 모드 전압과 크기가 같고 반대극성을 가진 전압을 4 level half bridge 인버터를 이용하여 생성하고, 이것을 커먼 모드 transformer에 인가하여 고주파 누설 전류 역시 감쇄시킬 수 있는 새로운 형태의 능동형 커먼 모드 전압 감쇄기를 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 감쇄기의 동작 성능을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

The Differential Power Processing (DPP) converter is a promising multi-module photovoltaic inverter architecture recently proposed for photovoltaic systems. In this paper, a DPP converter architecture, in which each PV-panel has its own DPP converter in shunt, performs distributed maximum power point tracking (DMPPT) control. It maintains a high energy conversion efficiency, even under partial shading conditions. The system architecture only deals with the power differences among the PV panels, which reduces the power capacity of the converters. Therefore, the DPP systems can easily overcome the conventional disadvantages of PCS such as centralized, string, and module integrated converter (MIC) topologies. Among the various types of the DPP systems, the feed-forward method has been selected for both its voltage balancing and power transfer to a modified H-bridge inverter that needs charge balancing of the input capacitors. The modified H-bridge multi-level inverter had some advantages such as a low part count and cost competitiveness when compared to conventional multi-level inverters. Therefore, it is frequently used in photovoltaic (PV) power conditioning system (PCS). However, its simplified switching network draws input current asymmetrically. Therefore, input capacitors in series suffer from a problem due to a charge imbalance. This paper validates the operating principle and feasibility of the proposed topology through the simulation and experimental results. They show that the input-capacitor voltages maintain the voltage balance with the PV MPPT control operating with a 140-W hardware prototype.

In this paper the effects of a Static Synchronous Series Compensator, which is constructed with a 48-pulse inverter, on the power demand from the grid are studied. Extensive simulation studies were carried out in the MATLAB simulation environment to observe the compensation achieved by the SSSC and its effects on the line voltage, line current, phase angle and real/reactive power. The designed device is simulated in a power system which is comprised of a three phase power source, a transmission line, line inductance and load. The system parameters such as line voltage, line current, reactive power Q and real power P transmissions are observed both when the SSSC is connected to and disconnected from the power system. The motivation for modeling a SSSC from a multi-pulse inverter is to enhance the voltage waveform of the device and this is observed in the total harmonic distortion (THD) analysis performed at the end of the paper. According to the results, the power flow and phase angle can be controlled successfully by the new device through voltage injection. Finally a THD analysis is performed to see the harmonics content. The effect on the quality of the line voltage and current is acceptable according to international standards.

this paper suggest a new space vector PWM modulation method with short processing time which does not need idenfication of nearest three vectors(NTV) and duty calculation for each vector. The suggested PWM method makes mean value of phase voltage to be same as reference during every modulation period by use of a triangle in small hexagon on multi-level vector space. This paper described the suggested modulation method can be successfully applied to the space vector modulation use of multi-level inverter by computer simulations and experiments.

A transformerless converter suitable for multiphase drive application is presented in this paper. The topology employs a cascaded H-bridge rectifier as the interface between the grid and multi inverters which drive the multiphase motor. Compared with the conventional structure, the new topology eliminates the input transformer and also has the advantages such as four quadrant operation, simple configuration, low cost, high efficiency, and so on. The control strategies for the grid-side cascade H-bridge rectifier and the motor-side inverter are studied accordingly. Based on the multi-rotational reference frame, modular control scheme is developed to regulate the multiphase drive system. Simulation results show the proper operation of the proposed topology and the corresponding control strategy.

본 논문에서는 다중 반송파 정현 펄스폭 변조방식으로 제어되는 Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨 PWM 인버터의 스위칭 손실 저감을 위한 스위칭 패턴을 제안한다. 부하 담당 전력이 상대적으로 큰 H-bridge 모듈의 스위치는 저주파의 기본 출력 전압 레벨을 형성하도록 동작시키며, 부하 담당 전력이 상대적으로 작은 H-bridge 모듈의 스위치는 고주파의 PWM 파형을 기본파에 가감하여 출력전압 파형이 사인파에 가까워지도록 스위칭 패턴을 형성한다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 스위칭 패턴을 PD, APOD 방식의 다중 반송파 정현 펄스폭 변조방식으로 구현하여 Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨 PWM 인버터에 적용시키고 실험을 통해 기존의 스위칭 패턴에 비해 스위칭 손실이 개선됨을 증명한다.

At present, harmonic currents cause serious problems in power conversion system using the semiconductor switching device. Also some of the conversion system provokes harmonic currents against to the main power supply system and causes hindrances for the system. Main power impedance of the traditional LC passive filter method, influences on the filter characteristics and amplifies the harmonics when resonance phenomenon is occurred. And the traditional existing 2 level inverter systems show the limit in capacity of voltage and current in case of occurring sudden load change. So, to solve this problem active filter which uses cascaded H-bridge multi level inverter has been designed and ex-filter system circuits were totally investigated. With multi level active filtering system not only the size of filter but also the size of filter for transformer can be reduced by half and so as to the weight, while the capacity of inverter can be double sized and wave forms can be compensated exactly and precisely. Also by the benefit of the increase in rating capacity, the various currents owing to the load fluctuation can be dealt more steadily. In order to simulate the wave form of harmonics based on the measured data on the AC 25kV high speed Domestic Commercial railway, it was simulated with PSCAD/EMTDC and PSIM. Based on the results of this demonstration, the power supply system and inverter system would be more stable and also promoting its efficiency.

The output voltage waveforms of this inverter have 5 level phase voltage and 9 level line voltage of PWM. The harmonics of the output voltage are reduced to half when it is compared with single CTI, and the occurrence of harmonics is also reduced.

종래의 준 랜덤 주파수 캐리어(PRC : Pseudo-Randomized Frequency Carrier) 변조기법을 3상 H-브리지 멀티레벨 인버터(HBML: H-Bridge Multi-Level Inverter)에 적용하는 경우, 스위칭 주파수의 2배 주파수 영역에서 큰 스펙트럼 클러스터가 그대로 존재하는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 서로 2배의 주파수 비율을 갖는 2개의 고정주파수 삼각파 캐리어와 3단계 멀티플렉서(MUX : Multiplexer)를 이용하여 종래의 PRC기법의 고조파 스펙트럼 확산 효과를 개선하였다. 제안된 기법은 1.5[kw]급 3상 HBML인버터 구동시스템에 적용하였으며, 종전의 방법과 제안된 방법의 전압 및 전류 고조파 스펙트럼을 비교 검토하였다.
