This paper investigates a power supply of medium voltage with enhanced ignition characteristics for plasma torches. A series resonant half-bridge topology is presented as a suitable ignition circuitry. The ignition circuitry is integrated into the main power conversion system of a multi-phase staggered three-level dc-dc converter with a diode front-end rectifier. A plasma torch rated at 3MW, 2kA and having a physical size of 1m is selected to be the high enthalpy source for a waste disposal system. The steady-state and transient operations of a plasma torch are simulated. The parameters of a Cassie-Mary arc model are calculated based on 3D magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. The circuit simulation waveform shows that the ripple of the arc current can be maintained within ${\pm}10%$ of its rated value under the presence of a load disturbance. This power conversion configuration provides a high enough ignition voltage, around 5KA, during the ignition phase and high arc stability under the existence of arc disturbance noise resulting in a high-performance plasma torch system.

본 논문은 PV어레이를 이용한 양수펌프 시스템의 전체적인 제어를 구상하는 제시하였으며, DC/DC 컨버터를 생략하기 위하여 BLDC 모터의 벡터제어를 이용하고 DC량과 AC량과 관계를 찾아내어 인버터만으로 PV 어레이의 최대출력점을 추적하였다. 기존의 최대출력점 제어기는 3상 인버터의 DC 링크단에 나타나는 전류리플로 인하여 제어기가 불안정하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제어기의 불안정성을 보완하기 위해 BLDC 모터의 $i_qs$ 전류를 이용한 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tacker) 제어 알고리즘을 구성하였다. 이러한 제어기의 우수함을 입증하기 위하여 J. A Domfnguez가 비동기모터에 적용한 제어방식을 BLDC 모터에 적용한 결과와 본 논문에서 제시한 제어방식을 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 비교 검토하고 하였다.

A grid-connected distributed generation system which consists of engine generator, dc link with multiple energy sources and inverter is proposed. All six of the stator leads of the generator, which is a surface mount permanent magnet machine, are brought out to the terminal of the generator. Three leads are connected to the inverter and the others are connected to the utility grid. In this proposed system the power from the engine-generator and the power from dc link can be controlled simultaneously by only one three-phase power converter. A control algorithm for the system is developed and verified by experiment results.

매트릭스 컨버터는 3상의 입력 전원이 전력용 반도체 스위치의 제어를 통해 3상의 부하에 직접 연결되는 에너지 변환 장치이다. 에너지 저장을 위한 직류단이 없어 매트릭스 컨버터의 입력 전류는 부하 전류와 스위치 상태에 직접 의존한다. 그러므로 불평형 또는 왜곡된 입력 전압은 원치 않은 출력 고조파 전류의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 매트릭스 컨버터의 입력 전원 외란 상황에서 출력 전류를 개선하는 신경회로망 기반 전류 보상기를 제안한다. 제안된 기법 타당성과 유효성을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 증명한다.

In this paper, the Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) control of the small scale wind power generation system with a three-phase diode rectifier and the grid-connected inverter is studied. Without the need for the converter circuits to control speed of the generator, it is economical and the structure is simple. Compared with existing systems, it can be to reduce the power semiconductor switches and passive elements, and to implement the MPPT control with only DC-Link voltage control of the grid-connected inverter. In order to allow MPPT control without the characteristic information of the wind turbine, the P&O algorithm is applied, and these are verified by the simulation and experiment.

In this paper, a zero torque control scheme adopting current sharing function (CSF) used in integrated Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drive with DC battery charger is proposed. The proposed control scheme is able to achieve the keeping position (KP), zero torque (ZT) and power factor correction (PFC) at the same time with a simple novel current sharing function algorithm. The proposed CSF makes the proper reference for each phase windings of SRM to satisfy the total charging current of the battery with zero torque output to hold still position with power factor correction, and the copper loss minimization during of battery charging is also achieved during this process. Based on these, CSFs can be used without any recalculation of the optimal current at every sampling time. In this proposed integrated battery charger system, the cost effective, volume and weight reduction and power enlargement is realized by function multiplexing of the motor winding and asymmetric SR converter. By using the phase winding as large inductors for charging process, and taking the asymmetric SR converter as an interleaved converter with boost mode operation, the EV can be charged effectively and successfully with minimum integral system. In this integral system, there is a position sliding mode controller used to overcome any uncertainty such as mutual inductance or DC offset current sensor. Power factor correction and voltage adaption are obtained with three-phase buck type converter (or current source rectifier) that is cascaded with conventional SRM, one for wide input and output voltage range. The practicability is validated by the simulation and experimental results by using a laboratory 3-hp SRM setup based on TI TMS320F28335 platform.

본 연구에서는 비선형 부하에서 발생되는 기본파 무효전력 및 고조파를 보상하기 위한 종전의 전압형 및 전류형 PWM 능동전력필터를 대체 할 수 있는 Z-소스 인버터 토폴로지의 하이브리드 능동전력필터에 대하여 고찰하였다. Z-소스 토폴로지의 능동전력필터의 보상 DC전원으로는 PEMFC가 사용되며, Z-소스 인버터의 shoot-through 듀티비의 조절에 의하여 낮은 연료전지의 전압을 높은 보상 전압으로 부스트 한다. 제안된 시스템은 병렬형 Z-소스 능동전력필터와 7차 고조파 (420Hz) 동조 필터로 구성되며, 이 구성에 의하여 Z-소스 능동전력필터의 스위치 디바이스의 전압 스트레스는 감소된다. 제안된 Z-소스 하이브리드 능동전력필터의 보상 알고리즘으로는 전류 동기 검출법이 사용되었다. 3상 220V/60Hz, 25A급 비선형 다이오드 부하 조건하에서 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 정상상태 및 과도상태에서의 제안된 시스템의 보상 성능을 파악하였다.

A sensorless input current controller for three phase PWM converter is proposed. A merit of this controller is that sinusoidal input line current, unity power factor, and ripple-free DC voltage can be achieved with low-cost. The paper describes the proposed control strategy and its implementation. Simulation result for the proposed controller is compared with that of the sensor based version.

In this paper, controller for PWM converter considering unsymetrical input voltage is designed and current controller using LQ controller with conditional integrator is proposed. And the proposed current controller is compared with other current controller-predictive controller, decoupling PI controller. As simulation results, LQ controller with Conditional Integrator shows the improved performance for DC link voltage regulation through transient test of load variation. And when unsymeritrical input voltage is applied to converter with conventional current controller considering only symetrical input voltage, input current is distorted but it is showed that current controller considering unsymetrical input has robust control characteristics under phase voltage unbalance.

In this paper, single phase boost converter with low current harmonic components and high power factor are proposed. A single-phase half-bridge rectifier based on a neutral point switch clamped scheme is proposed to draw a nearly unity power factor and regulate the DC link voltage. Three power switches are employed in the proposed rectifier. This rectifier is controlled to generate a bipolar or unipolar PWM voltage waveform on the AC side. The proposed converter is implemented by a digital signal processor.
