This paper proposes a new PWM method to reduce the common mode voltage change in three-level Vienna rectifier. This new proposed PWM method uses medium voltage vector for the three-level Vienna rectifier to determine the sum of three-phase voltage zero, and the common mode voltage variation is decreased. Using the carrier comparison method, the switching function generator for three-level Vienna rectifier has been proposed. The effects of the proposed PWM method have been verified through simulation using the PSIM.

Three-level PWM rectifiers applied in medium voltage applications usually operate at low switching frequency to keep the dynamic losses under permitted level. However, low switching frequency brings a heavy cross-coupling between the current components $i_d$ and $i_q$ with a poor dynamic system performance and a harmonic distortion in the grid-connecting current. To overcome these problems, a mathematical model based on complex variables of the three-level voltage source PWM rectifier is firstly established, and the reasons of above issues resulted from low switching frequency have been analyzed using modern control theory. Then, a novel control strategy suitable for the current decoupling control based on the complex variables for $i_d$ and $i_q$ is designed here. The comparisons between this kind of control strategy and the normal PI method have been carried out. MATLAB and experimental results are given in detail.

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.

This paper proposes a synchronous switching technique for a Vienna rectifier that uses carrier-based pulse width modulation (CB-PWM). A three-phase Vienna rectifier, similar to a three-level T-type converter with three back-to-back switches, is used as a PWM rectifier. Conventional CB-PWM requires six independent gate signals to operate back-to-back switches. When internal switches are operated synchronously, only three independent gate signals are required, which simplifies the construction of gate driver circuits. However, with this method, total harmonic distortion of the input current is higher than that with conventional CB-PWM switching. A reactive current injection technique is proposed to improve current distortion. The performance of the proposed synchronous switching method and the effectiveness of the reactive current injection technique are verified using simulations and experiments performed with a set of Vienna rectifiers rated at 5 kW.

This paper presents a simple switching method to generate a PWM pattern mostly relevant to signle-phase three-level PWM rectifier. The adopted PWM switching pattern is performed in a manner similar to the space vector PWM method, which is popularly used in the three-phase rectifier and inverter. A set of possible voltages has been selected so that an equation with a time integral considered within a sampling period should be satisfied every sampling time. The simulation result shows that the proposed control scheme is good in some performance criteria such as unity power factor, low harmonic distortion of input current, dynamic response and voltage balancing of two series-connected DC capacitors.

A three-phase, three-switch, and three-level boost-type PWM rectifier (Vienna rectifier) is proposed as an active front-end power factor correction (PFC) rectifier for telecom loads. The proposed active front-end PFC rectifier system is modeled by the switching cycle average model. The relation between duty ratios and DC link capacitor voltages is derived in terms of the system input currents. Furthermore, the feasible switching states are identified and applied to the proposed system to reduce the switching stress and DC ripples. A detailed equivalent circuit analysis of the proposed front-end PFC rectifier is conducted, and its performance is verified through simulations in MATLAB. Simulation results are verified using an experimental setup of an active front-end PFC rectifier that was developed in the laboratory. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the improved power quality parameters that are in accordance with the IEEE and IEC standards.

This paper studies a new three-level pulse-width modulation (PWM) resonant converter for high input voltage and high load current applications. In order to use high frequency power MOSFETs for high input voltage applications, a three-level DC converter with two clamped diodes and a flying capacitor is adopted in the proposed circuit. For high load current applications, the secondary sides of the proposed converter are connected in parallel to reduce the size of the magnetic core and copper windings and to decrease the current rating of the rectifier diodes. In order to share the load current and reduce the switch counts, three resonant converters with the same active switches are adopted in the proposed circuit. Two transformers with a series connection in the primary side and a parallel connection in the secondary side are adopted in each converter to balance the secondary side currents. To overcome the drawback of a wide range of switching frequencies in conventional series resonant converters, the duty cycle control is adopted in the proposed circuit to achieve zero current switching (ZCS) turn-off for the rectifier diodes and zero voltage switching (ZVS) turn-on for the active switches. Finally, experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

This paper proposes a three-phase three-switch buck-type converter as the MSC of a wind turbine system. Owing to a novel switching modulation scheme that can eliminate the unwanted diode rectifier mode switching state, the proposed system exhibits a satisfying ac voltage and current waveform quality and torque ripple up to the level of a typical current source rectifier even under a wide power factor operating range. The proposed system has been verified through simulations and HILS tests on a PMSG wind turbine model of 5MW/4160V. The proposed converter has been shown to provide a stator current THD of 3.9% and a torque ripple of 1% under the rated power condition. In addition to the inherent advantage of the reduced switch count of three-phase three-switch buck-type converters, the proposed switching modulation technique can make this converter a viable solution for the MSC placed inside of a nacelle, which is under severe volume, weight and mechanical vibration design limits.

본 논문은 절연변압기를 사용하지 않는 하이브리드 멀티레벨 PWM 정류기(특히 5-레벨)의 회로 DQ 모델링 및 동작특성 해석에 대한 연구이다. 회로 DQ 변환은 동기속도로 회전하는 변환 행렬을 사용함으로써 3상 시변 회로를 정지된 등가회로로 변환한다. 이러한 회로 DQ 변환을 통해 얻은 등가회로를 사용하여 시스템의 동작 특성 및 유용한 설계식들을 보다 쉽게 얻을 수 있다. 즉, 각 DC 커패시터 전압 및 전원이 공급하는 유효전력, 무효전력과 제어변수의 해석적인 식들을 보이고, 나아가 멀티레벨 출력을 얻기 위한 각 DC 전압들을 AC 전원으로부터 직접 build-up 할 수 있음을 제시한다. 또한 5-레벨 출력전압을 보장하기 위한 제어식을 유도한다. 끝으로, 이러한 모델링 및 해석의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 MATLAB을 사용한 모의 실험을 행하고, 해석적인 예측과 모의실험으로 얻어진 파형의 일치성을 확인하였다.
