This paper proposes the power conversion mechanism of a bailer-charge-transfer zero-current-switching (CT-ZCS) circuit. The operation modes are analyzed and researched using state trajectory equations. The topology of CT-ZCS based on soft-switching inverters offers some merits such as: tracking the input reference signal dynamically, bearing load shock and short circuit, multiplying inverter N+1 redundancy parallel, coordinating power balance for easy control, and soft-switching commutation for high efficiency and large capacity. These advantages are distinctive from conventional inverter topologies and are especially demanded in AC drives: new energy generation and grid, distributed generation systems, switching power amplifier, active power filter, and reactive power compensation and so on. Prototype is manufactured and experiment results show the feasibility and dynamic voltage-tracking characteristics of the topology.

본 논문은 계통 연계형 3-레벨 인버터 시스템을 위한 LCL-필터 설계 방법을 제안한다. 최근 풍력 및 태양광과 같은 신재생에너지 발전 시스템을 위한 3상 PWM 인버터의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 PWM 인버터는 스위칭 동작에 의해 발생하는 고조파 성분을 제거하기 위하여 LCL-필터를 거쳐 계통과 연결된다. 필터 설계에 관한 다양한 연구가 진행되었지만 최소의 사이즈로 목표하는 고조파 제거 성능을 얻기 위해서는 해당 PWM 인버터의 스위칭 방법을 고려한 필터 설계 방법이 요구된다. 본 논문은 공간 전압벡터 변조기법(SVPWM)에 최적화된 LCL-필터 설계방법을 제시한다. 시뮬레이션과 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 방법으로 설계된 LCL-필터의 성능을 검증한다.

This paper proposes transformerless power conversion system consisting of a single-phase diode rectifier and a shunt hybrid filter for the electric-railway system. The hybrid filter consists of a single tuned LC filter per a phase and a low-rated NPC type multi-level inverter. Compared with conventional active filters. transformers are not used. Also, LC filter works as not only a harmonic filter tuned at the 3rd harmonic frequency but also a switching-ripple filter. The rating of the active filter can be decreased by using a NPC type multi-level inverter. The simulation results confirm the validity of the system.

With regards to heading estimation using gyroscope and magnetometer signals, magnetic disturbance added in the magnetometer signals is a main degradation factor in the estimation accuracy. Although there are a number of existing mechanisms that may properly compensate for the magnetic disturbances, they are designed to react only to the magnetic disturbances, but not to the time derivative of disturbances. Note that the sensors may experience abrupt changes in the magnetic disturbances, particularly for ambulatory applications. This paper proposes a magnetic disturbance model-embedded heading estimation filter for time-varying magnetic environments. The proposed magnetic disturbance model is based on a first-order Markov chain with a conditional switching technique depending on the time derivative of disturbances. Once a high amount of derivative is detected, the corrupted magnetometer signals are discarded to protect the filter from them. In our experimental results, the averaged heading error of tests was $1.46^{\circ}$, while that of the original approach without switching was $5.75^{\circ}$.

Shortage of electric power occurs frequently along with increased electric power demand. ESS is a precaution to solve this issue. Household ESS has a capacity of approximately 3 kW/7 kWh. Household ESS batteries are typically designed with nominal voltages between 40 and 50 V. To connect household ESS with a 220 V AC system, low battery voltages in power conditioning system (PCS) should be boosted. To boost low battery voltage and match it with AC grid voltage, the use of a transformer for a commercial frequency can be considered. To attenuate switching harmonics of the household single-phase ESS-PCS, LC filter can be installed in two positions: on the primary side or on the secondary side of a transformer. A method has been used generally in single-phase inverters for the ESS-PCS. In another method, however, the output efficiency of the ESS-PCS may be decreased. Parasitic components of the transformer can affect voltage losses, when the square wave with the switching frequency in the ESS-PCS is passed through the transformer windings. In this work, the characteristics of the transformer according to the position of an LC filter are investigated for household single-phase ESS-PCS.

본 논문은 동력 집중식 철도차량에서 전력변환장치로서 객차용 전원공급장치의 전력품질을 향상시키기 위해 보완된 필터설계를 제안한다. 먼저, 필터설계를 위해 객차용 전원공급장치와 연결된 변압기의 출력전력 파형을 측정하였다. 실험 및 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 스위칭 기법은 개선된 특정고조파 소거 펄스폭 변조이고 스위칭 주파수는 300Hz임을 추정하였다. 따라서 추정된 파라미터를 바탕으로 전력품질을 향상시키기 위해 필터를 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 전체적으로 고조파의 크기가 감소함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a single-phase asymmetric half-bridge cascaded multilevel inverter based series active power filter (SAPF) for harmonic voltage compensation. The effect of level number on performance of the proposed SAPF is examined in terms of total harmonic distortion (THD) and system efficiency. Besides, the relationship between the level number and the number of switching device are compared with the other multilevel inverter topologies used in APF applications. The paper is also aimed to demonstrate the capability of the SAPF for compensating harmonic voltages alone, without using a passive power filter (PPF). To obtain the required output voltage, a new switching algorithm is developed. The proposed SAPF with levels of 7, 15 and 31 is used in both simulation and experimental studies and the harmonic voltages of the load connected to the point of common coupling (PCC) is compensated under two different loading conditions. Furthermore, very high system efficiency values such as 98.74% and 96.84% are measured in the experimental studies and all THD values are brought into compliance with the IEEE-519 Standard. As a result, by increasing the level number of the inverter, lower THD values can be obtained even under high harmonic distortion levels while system efficiency almost remains the same.

멀티레벨 인버터 시스템에 낮은 스위칭 주파수가 사용되면, 이들 멀티레벨 인버터 시스템은 큰 값의 저 주파수 고조파 성분을 발생한다. 일반적으로 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 LC필터가 인버터 시스템의 출력단에 사용되었다. 그러나 LC필터를 사용한 경우 제동저항의 사용에 의한 전압강하가 발생하고, 제동저항의 전력손실로 인해 시스템의 효율이 감소하는 문제를 야기하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 낮은 스위칭 주파수를 갖는 3상 NPC 3레벨 인버터를 위한 출력 필터 설계방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안된 필터 시스템의 효율을 분석하였고, 제안된 시스템의 효과는 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 통하여 입증하였다.

일반적으로 PWM인버터에 발생된 고조파와 노이즈는 스위칭 주파수, dv/dt와 di/dt, PWM 스위칭 방법에 의해 영향을 받는다. 멀티레벨 인버터가 고전력 시스템에 적용되어 낮은 주파수에서 동작할 때 이것은 큰 고조파 성분과 노이즈를 발생하게 된다. 따라서 멀티레벨 인버터에 출력 필터가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 H-bridge 7레벨 인버터 시스템을 사용한 3상 유도 전동기 구동 시스템의 고조파와 노이즈 감소를 위해 출력 필터를 설계하였다. 가격이 저렴하고 간단한 구조를 가지며, 고조파와 노이즈를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있는 수동필터는 멀티레벨 인버터 시스템을 사용한 3상 유도전동기 구동시스템에 적용되었다. 설계된 시스템은 향상되었고, 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 그 타당성을 증명하였다.
