A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system with fast-tracked time and high power efficiency is presented in this paper. The proposed MPPT system uses an unbounded binary search (UBS) algorithm that continuously tracks the maximum power point (MPP) with a binary system to follow the MPP under rapid-weather-change conditions. The proposed algorithm can decide the correct direction of the MPPT system while comparing the previous power point with the present power point. And then, by fixing the MPP until finding the next MPP, there is no oscillation of voltage MPP, which maximizes the overall power efficiency of the photovoltaic module. With these advantages, this proposed UBS is able to detect the MPP more effectively. This MPPT system is based on a boost converter with a micro-control unit to control analog-to-digital converters and pulse width modulation. Analysis of this work and experimental results show that the proposed UBS MPPT provides fast, accurate tracking with no oscillation in situations where weather rapidly changes and shadow is caused by all sorts of things. The tracking time is reduced by 87.3% and 66.1% under dynamic-state and steady-state operation, respectively, as compared with the conventional 7-bit perturb and observe technique.

This paper proposes a modified space-vector pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy which can restrict the common-mode voltage for three-phase to three-phase matrix converter and still keep sinusoidal input and output waveforms and unity power factor at the input side. The proposed control method has been developed based on contributing the appropriate space vectors instead of using zero space vectors. The advantages of this proposed method is to reduce the peak value of common-mode voltage to 42% beside the lower high harmonic components as compared to the conventional SVM method. Hence, the new table is also presented with the new space vector rearrangement. Furthermore, the voltage transfer ratio is unaffected by the proposed method. A simulation of the overall system has been carried out to validate the advantages of the proposed method.

A 6.5 V/50 kA high-frequency switching power supply (HSPS) system composed of 10 power modules is developed to meet the requirements of copper-foil electrolysis. The power module is composed of a two-leg pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier and a DC/DC converter. The DC/DC converter adopts two full-wave rectifiers in parallel to enhance the output. For the two-leg PWM rectifier, the ripple of the DC-link voltage is derived. A composite control method with a ripple filter is then proposed to effectively improve the performance of the rectifier. To meet the process demand of copper-foil electrolysis, the virtual impedance-based current-sharing control method with load current full feedforward is proposed for n-parallel DC/DC converters. The roles of load current feedforward and virtual impedance are analyzed, and the current-sharing control model of the HSPS system is derived. Virtual impedance is used to adjust the current-sharing impedance without changing the equivalent output impedance, which can effectively reduce current-sharing errors. Finally, simulation and experimental results verify the structure and control method.

This paper presents a new method of designing digital controller based on closed-loop identification of a pulse width modulation (PWM) converter system. We consider the control system structure which is composed of both current control loop and voltage control loop. The current controller can be designed independently of voltage loop. Whereas voltage controller can not do easily due to the PWM switching component which is nonlinear in nature. Furthermore, the control objective of inner loop is to track the sine wave of 60 Hz, but the outer loop shall maintain the constant DC voltage irrespective to load change. To systematically design outer loop controller, we propose a method finding linear approximate model of the nonlinear inner loop part including current controller by closed loop identification. Based on the identified model, we show that a simple digital voltage controller can be directly designed and it has good performance.

This paper presents a digital hardware implementation of a real-time simulator for a multiphase drive using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device. The simulator was developed with a modular and hierarchical design using very high-speed integrated circuit hardware description language (VHDL). Hence, this simulator is flexible and portable. A state-space representation model suitable for FPGA implementations was proposed for a dual three-phase induction machine (DTPIM). The simulator also models a two-level 12-pulse insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)-based voltage-source converter (VSC), a pulse-width modulation scheme, and a measurement system. Real-time simulation outputs (stator currents and rotor speed) were validated under steady-state and transient conditions using as reference an experimental test bench based on a DTPIM with 15 kW-rated power. The accuracy of the proposed digital hardware implementation was evaluated according to the simulation and experimental results. Finally, statistical performance parameters were provided to analyze the efficiency of the proposed DTPIM hardware implementation method.

Recently with the development of power switching device and DSP which has peripheral devices to control AC servo system, the servo technology has met a new development opportunity. Those things make it possible to reduce the time of developing a AC servo system. Fixed point DSP such as TMS320F240x, and TMS320F28x series have a disadvantage in calculating floating number where TMS320C32 or TMS320C31 are floating point DSP. However they usually become a complex hardware system to implement the AC servo system and it increases the cost. In this study, a DSP based AC servo system with a 3-phase PMSM is proposed. The newly produced DSP TMX320F28l2-version C which has the performance of fast speed, 150MIPS, and a rich peripheral interface such as a 12bit high speed AD converter, QEP(Quadrature Encoder Pulse) circuit, PDPINT(Power Drive Protect Interrupt), SVPWM module and dead time module are used. This paper presents a method to overcome fixed point calculating using scaling all parameters. Also space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) using off-set voltage and a digital PI control are implemented to the servo system.

Currently, power conversion system which converts AC to DC Power is applied in domestic urban railway. The diode rectifier is used in most of them. However the diode rectifier can not control the output voltage and can not regenerate power as well. On the other hand, PWM (pulse width modulation) converter using IGBT (isolated gate bipolar transistor) can control output voltage, allowing it to reduce the output voltage drop. Moreover the Bi-directional conduction regenerates power which does not require additional device for power regeneration control. This paper compared the simulation results for the DC power supply system on both the diode rectifier and the PWM converter. Under the same load condition, simulation circuit for each power supply system was constructed with the PSIM (performance simulation and modeling tool) software. The load condition was set according to the resistance value of the currently operating impedance of light rail line, and the line impedance was set according to the distance of each substations. The train was set using a passive resistor. PI (proportional integral) controller was applied to regulate the output voltage. PSIM simulation was conducted to verify that the PWM Converter was more efficient than the diode rectifier in DC Traction power supply system.

본 논문에서는 자동차 계기판의 OLED 디스플레이 모듈용 One-chip DC-DC 변환기 회로를 제안하였다. 전하 펌핑 방식의 OLED 패널 구동전압 회로는 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 방식을 사용한 DC-DC 변환기 회로에 비해 소형화, 저가격 및 낮은 EMI 특성을 갖는다. 그리고 Bulk-potential 바이어싱 회로를 사용하므로 전하 펌핑 시 기생하는 PNP BJT에 의한 전하 손실을 방지하도록 하였고, 밴드갭 기준전압 발생기의 Start-up 회로에서 전류소모를 기존 BGR 회로에 비해 42% 줄였고 VDD의 링 발진기 회로에 로직전원인 VLP를 사용하여 링 발진기기 레이아웃 면적을 줄였다. 또한 OLED 구동전압인 VDD의 구동 전류는 OLED 패널에서 요구하는 40mA 이상이다. $0.25{\mu}m$ High-voltage 공정을 이용하여 테스트 칩을 제작 중에 있으며, 레이아웃 면적은$477{\mu}m{\times}653{\mu}m$이다.

태양전지는 일사량, 온도와 부하에 의해 크게 변동하기 때문에 가능한 한 많은 에너지를 얻기 위해서는 태양전지의 출력을 항상 최대로 제어할 필요가 있다. 태양전지의 출력은 직류이므로 교류부하에 적용하기 위해서는 전력변환장치 중 인버터가 필수적이며 단위 역률을 갖는 정현파 전류 및 전압을 부하계통에 공급해 주어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 태양광 발전시스템을 승압 쵸퍼와 단상 PWM(Pulse Width Modultion) 전압형 인버터로 구성하였고, 안정된 변조를 위해서 동기신호와 제어신호를 원칩 마이크로프로세서에 의해서 처리하였다. 전력비교에 따라 시비율을 변화시키지만 태양전지는 전형적인 수하특성을 갖고 있어, 일사량과 온도변화에 관계없이 항상 최대 출력 점을 추적하도록 승압초퍼를 제어하였다. 단상 PWM 전압형 인버터는 태양전지가 연속 발전할 수 없는 단점을 보완하기 위해 일반 상용전원과 연계함으로써 약 $10{\sim}20%$ 전력절감효과를 얻을 수 있는 에너지절약 전원복합형 전력변환장치로 구성되어 있다. 단상 PWM 전압형 인버터와 위상동기를 위해서 계통전압을 검출하여 계통전압과 인버터 출력을 동상 운전하므로 잉여전력을 계통과 연계할 수 있게 하여 고 역률과 저고조파 출력을 유지 하므로써 부하와 계통에 전력이 안정하게 공급될 수 있도록 제어하였다.
