A single-stage AC-AC converter has been designed for a wind energy conversion system (WECS) that eliminates multistage operation and DC-link filter elements, thus resolving size, weight, and reliability issues. A simple switching strategy is used to control the switches that changes the variable-frequency AC output of an electrical generator to a constant-frequency supply to feed into a distributed electrical load/grid. In addition, a modified random sinusoidal pulse width modulation (RSPWM) technique has been developed for the designed converter to make the overall system more efficient by increasing generating power capacity and reducing the effects of inter-harmonics and sub-harmonics generated in the WECS. The technique uses carrier and reference waves of variable switching frequency to calculate the firing angles of the switches of the converter so that the three-phase output voltage of the converter is very close to a sine wave with reduced THD. A comparison of the performance of the proposed RSPWM technique with the conventional SPWM demonstrated that the power generated by a turbine in the proposed approximately increased by 5% to 10% and THD reduces by 40% both in voltage and current with respect to conventional SPWM.

해양산업분야에서는 극심한 대기오염으로 인하여 전기추진선박에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이로 인해 선내 전력품질의 저하를 개선하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존 DFE 정류기의 입력전류 고조파 함유량을 완화시키기 위해 수동형필터, 노치필터, 능동형필터 등을 이용한 다양한 방법이 등장하였다. 그 중에서도 능동필터의 일종인 AFE(Active Front End) 정류장치가 우수한 기술로써 평가받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 공간벡터변조에 의한 AFE정류장치의 전류제어방식을 제안하였다. 기존의 히스테리시스 방식, 삼각파 변조방식 및 공간벡터변조방식을 PSIM을 사용해 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 비교, 분석하였고, 그 결과 공간벡터변조방식이 구조가 간단하고 성능이 가장 우수함을 확인하였다.

It presents an efficient switching pattern, which expects a reduction of switching losses in a cascaded H-bridge PWM multilevel inverter. By the proposed switching scheme, the lower H-bridge module operates at low frequency of 60[Hz] because it assigns to transfer most load power. The upper H-bridge module operates at high frequency of PWM switching to improve THD of output voltage. The proposed switching pattern applies to cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter with PD, APOD, bipolar, and unipolar switching methods. By computer-aided simulations, we verify the validity of the proposed switching scheme. Finally, we prove that the proposed PD and APOD switching patterns are better than those of the conventional one in efficiency.

This paper describes a new method to increase the fundamental output of PWM inverter by adding all triplen-harmonics to sinusoidal reference wave. As a result, the amplitude of the fundamental component is increased upto 21 percent compared with the conventional SPWM method, and hence the conversion efficiency of dc link is higher. Also as the commutation number of the inverter is decreased to two-thirds, the heating of the switch devices is reduced. In addition random carrier modulation is adopted to lower the acoustic noise at given frequency modulation index.

본 논문에서는 연료전지 시스템을 위한 Z-소스 인버터로 구성된 병렬운전 연료전지 시스템의 순환전류 감쇄 방안을 검토하였다. PWM 방식으로는 Carrier phase shifted SPWM을 적용하였으며, 이 방식은 출력 전류의 고조파 성분을 줄일 수 있는 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 이 기법을 Z-소스 인버터로 구성된 병렬운전 시스템에 적용하는 경우 추가적으로 순환전류가 발생한다. Z-소스 인버터로 구성된 병렬운전 시스템이 동작 시 발생하는 순환전류를 감소시키며, 부하전류에 낮은 고조파 성분을 가질 수 있도록 커플링된 순환전류 리액터를 사용하였다. 순환전류 리액터를 상호 커플링시킴으로써 순환전류를 추가적으로 감소시킬 수 있다. 이에 대한 적합성을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 입증하였다.

This paper describes a fuzzy control method to control the output voltage of the three-phase Z-source PWM rectifier. A fuzzy control system is a control system based on fuzzy logic, and the fuzzy controller uses a single input fuzzy theory with its fuzzification. Analytical structure of the simplest fuzzy controller is derived through the triangular membership functions with its fuzzification. By setting the membership functions of the fuzzy rules, fuzzy control is achieved. The PI portion of the output DC voltage controller is controlled by fuzzy method. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, the simulation and experiment were performed, The simulation is performed with PSIM and MATLAB/SIMULINK. For the experiment, we used a DSP(TMS320F28335) controller to compute the reference value and generate the PWM pulses. For the transient state performance of the output DC voltage control of Z-source PWM rectifier, the PI controller and fuzzy controller were compared, also the conventional PWM rectifier and Z-source PWM rectifier were compared. From the results, the Z-source rectifier could allow to buck or boost of the output DC voltage. Through the analysis of the transient state, we could observe that the fuzzy controller has better performance than the conventional PI controller.
