In order to improve the quality of the billet continuous casting, a two-phase orthogonal power supply (TPOPS) for electromagnetic stirrer is researched, which is composed of three-phase PWM rectifier and three-leg inverter. According to the power analysis of system, the ripple of dc-link voltage is analyzed and its analytical expression is derived. In order to improve the performance of electromagnetic stirring, an integrated control method with feedforward control is proposed for PWM rectifier to suppress the fluctuations of dc-link voltage and provide a stable dc source for inverter. According to the simplified equivalent model, a composite current control method is proposed for inverter. This proposed method can combine the merits of feedforward control with feedback control to effectively improve the dynamic output performance of TPOPS. Finally, a 300kVA prototype of TPOPS is developed, and the results have verified the analysis and control method.

This paper presents a discontinuous pulse width modulation (DPWM) method to reduce switching losses in an indirect matrix converter (IMC) drive. The IMC has a number of power semiconductor switches. In other words, it consists of a rectifier stage and an inverter stage for AC/AC power conversion, which are composed of 12 and 6 switching devices, respectively. Therefore, the switching devices of the IMC suffer from high switching losses in the IMC drives. Various topologies to reduce switching losses have been studied by eliminating a number of switches from the rectifier stage. In this study, in contrast to prior research, a DPWM method is presented to reduce the switching losses of the inverter stage. The effectiveness of the proposed method to reduce switching losses in IMC drives is verified by simulations and experimental results.

Due to the rapid development of the industry, the use of iron is increasing rapidly in various industrial fields. Among these iron use areas, problems caused by corrosion of iron are seriously occurring in water-related industries. In particular, as the importance of environmental management has emerged, the water industry market desperately needs to replace aging water infra structure due to corrosion. In order to overcome this problem, research on a method capable of corrosion prevention system is being actively conducted. As the method for corrosion prevention system has various voltages and currents applied depending on the surrounding environment, the demand for an appropriate voltage regulator is increasing rapidly. In particular, as the IOT industry develops, the capacity of corrosion prevention system is increasing by expanding the area in which the method machine operates. Therefore, rectifiers for preventing corrosion are being changed from conventional flyback systems suitable for small capacities to inverter-type rectifiers suitable for large capacities. The inverter-type rectifier has various problems by reducing it to the initial rush current when starting. Therefore, this paper proposes a new starting method that can reduce initial inrush current in inverter-type rectifiers. T he proposed method can secure DC phase voltage for stable operation of the inverter by implementing discontinuous boosting operation using the switch of the inverter. In addition, the excellence of the proposed method was verified through simulations and experiments.

This paper deals with a novel method of modeling and analyzing multilevel pulse width modulation(PWM) inverter/rectifier, which leads to extraction of equivalent circuit in fundamental frequency domain. By the technique, we can draw out the corresponding linear time invariant circuit even thuogh the actual circuit is switched. A static VAR compensator using five-level inverter is modeled and simulated for the verification of the modeling.

This paper proposes a carrier-based pulse width modulation (PWM) method to control an indirect matrix converter (IMC) by analyzing the relationship between the space vector PWM (SVPWM) and the carrier-based PWM. The complexity of the SVPWM method for an IMC can be reduced by using an equivalent carrier-based PWM method. The advantage of the proposed algorithm is its ability use only one symmetrical triangular carrier signal to generate the gate signals for all of the power switches in both the rectifier and inverter stages as compared to the conventional method where the carrier signal used in the rectifier stage is different from that of the inverter stage. In addition, by using a suitable offset voltage component in the modulation signals, the output voltage magnitude reaches 0.866 of the input voltage magnitude. Simulation and experimental results are provided in order to validate the proposed method.

To improve the current waveform of diode rectifiers, we propose a new operating principle for the voltage-doubler diode rectifiers. In the conventional voltage-doubler rectifier circuit, relatively large capacitors are used to boost the output voltage, while the proposed circuit uses smaller ones and a small reactor not to boost the output voltage but improve the input current waveform. A circuit design method is shown by experimentation and confirmed simulation. The experimental results of the proposed diode rectifier satisfies the harmonic guide lines. A high input power factor of 97(%) and an efficiency of 98[%] are also obtained. The new rectifier with no controlled switches meet the harmonic guide lines, resulting in a simple, reliable and low-cost at-to dc converters in comparison with the boost-type current-improving circuits. This paper proposes a nonlinear impedance circuit composed by diodes and inductors or capacitors. This circuit needs no control circuits and switches, and the impedance value is changed by the polarity of current or voltage. And this paper presents one of these applications to improve the input current of capacitor input diode rectifiers. The rectifier using the nonlinear impedance circuit is constructed with four diodes and four capacitors in addition to the conventional rectifiers, that is, it has eight diodes and five capacitors, including a DC link capacitor. It makes harmonic components of the input current reduction and the power factor improvement. Half pulse-width modulated (HPWM) inverter was explained compared with conventional pulse width modulated(PWM) inverter. Proposed HPWM inverter eliminated dead-time by lowering switching loss and holding over-shooting.

본 논문에서는 비엔나 정류기의 전압제어를 위한 반송파 비교 PWM 방법에 대하여 논한다. 일반적으로 산업용 및 통신용 등 여러 응용분야에서 2레벨 정류기가 주로 사용되어 왔다. 하지만 2레벨 정류기는 효율을 높이고, THD를 낮추는데 한계가 있기 때문에 3레벨 정류기에 대한 연구가 진행 되어 왔다. 3레벨 정류기의 대표적인 회로가 비엔나 정류기이다. 기존의 비엔나 정류기는 대부분 전압 명령으로부터 인가 공간전압 벡터를 선택하고, 공간전압 벡터 인가시간을 직접 계산하여, 그 시간동안 전압 명령을 인가하는 공간 전압 변조 방식이 사용된다. 하지만 이 방법은 전압 명령 생성 및 전압 벡터의 인가시간 계산이 매우 복잡하여, 구현이 어려운 단점이 있다. 이 단점을 보완하기 위해 기존의 3레벨 인버터에 사용되던 반송파 비교 PWM 방법을 비엔나 정류기에 적용할 수 있도록 수정하여, 비엔나 정류기를 위한 간단한 전압제어를 위한 반송파 비교 PWM방식을 도출하고 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 검증 한다.
