PWM Control Techniques for Single-Phase Multilevel Inverter Based Controlled DC Cells

Mahmoud A. Sayed,Mahrous Ahmed,Maha G. Elsheikh,Mohamed Orabi 전력전자학회 2016 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.16 No.2

This paper presents a single-phase five-level inverter controlled by two novel pulse width modulation (PWM) switching techniques. The proposed PWM techniques are designed based on minimum switching power loss and minimum total harmonic distortion (THD). In a single-phase five-level inverter employing six switches, the first proposed PWM technique requires four switches to operate at switching frequency and two other switches to operate at line frequency. The second proposed PWM technique requires only two switches to operate at switching frequency and the rest of the switches to operate at line frequency. Compared with conventional PWM techniques for single-phase five-level inverters, the proposed PWM techniques offer high efficiency and low harmonic components in the output voltage. The validity of the proposed PWM switching techniques in controlling single-phase five-level inverters to regulate load voltage is verified experimentally using a 100 V, 500 W laboratory prototype controlled by dspace 1103.

김태윤,이지명,석줄기,이동춘 전력전자학회 2002 전력전자학회 논문지 Vol.7 No.4

In this paper, a single-phase to three-phase PWM converter topology using a single-phase half-bridge PWM rectifier and a 2-leg inverter for low cost three-phase induction motor drives is proposed. In addition, the source voltage sensor is eliminated with a state observer which controls the deviation between the model current and the system current to be zero. The converter topology is of lower cost than the conventional one, which gives sinusoidal input current, unity power factor, dc output voltage control, bidirectional power flow and VVVF output voltage. The experimental results for V/F control of 3Hp induction motor drives have been shown. 본 논문은 단상 반파 PWM 정류기와 3상 2-leg 인버터를 결합한 단상-삼상 컨버터 회로에서 전원전압의 센서를 제거하여 3상 유도전동기를 저가형으로 구동하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 전원전압의 센서를 제거하기 위해 전원전류의 실측치와 제어기 내의 모델전류가 일치하도록 관측기를 구성하여 전원전압을 추정한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기법을 사용할 경우 스위칭 소자와 센서 수를 줄이면서 직류전압 일정제어, 입력전류의 정현제어 및 단위 역률제어가 가능하고 VVVF 교류전압을 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 3[Hp]의 3상 유도전동기의 V/f 구동에 적용한 실험결과로 제시된 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증한다.

Novel SRM Drive Systems Using Variable DC-Link Voltage

Do-Hyun Jang 전력전자학회 2011 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.11 No.3

This paper proposes two SRM driving systems using a variable dc-link voltage controlled by a single-phase inverter. Two SRM converter topologies of a half bridge type and a full bridge type are proposed according to the power circuits of an inverter. The phase current can be controlled by means of a PWM controller at the inverter, and the turn-on/off angle at the phase switches can be controlled by a position sensor at the converter in the drive system. The inverter acts as a peak-current limiter if the transient current exceeds its maximum value. SRMs using the proposed topologies maintain high efficiency due to energy regeneration after the turn-off of power switches. The operational modes of the proposed topologies are verified by simulation and experimental results.

PLL 기법을 이용한 단상 PWM 인버터의 정상상태 성능개선

정세교,이대식 전력전자학회 2004 전력전자학회 논문지 Vol.9 No.4

This paper presents a precision voltage control technique of a single phase PWM inverter for a constant voltage and constant frequency(CVCF) applications. The proposed control scheme employs an additional phase-locked loop(PLL) compensator which is constructed using the output capacitor voltage and current. The computer simulation and experiment are carried out for the actual single-phase PWM inverter and it is well demonstrated from these results that the steady-state performance and total harmonic distortion(THD) are remarkably improved by employing the proposed technique. 본 논문에서는 무정전 전원장치와 같이 일정전압 일정주파수(constant voltage and constant frequency; CVCF) 운전에 사용되는 단상 PWM 인버터의 정밀 전압제어 기법을 다루었으며 정상상태에서 전압 오차를 최소화하기 위해 phase-locked loop(PLL) 기법을 이용한 새로운 전압 제어 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 제어기법에서는 출력 커패시터 전압과 전류를 이용하여 PLL 보상기를 구성하였으며 주 제어기에 PLL 보상기를 추가하여 출력 전압의 정상상태 성능을 개선하였다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 시뮬레이션과 실험을 수행 하였으며, 그 결과 기존의 방법에 비해 정상상태 전압제어 성능과 Total Harmonic Distortion(THD)이 현저히 개선됨을 입증할 수 있었다.

새로운 변조방식을 사용한 단상 인버터 시스템

본 논문에서는 새로운 변조방식을 사용한 단상 인버터 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 buck-boost 변환기와 인버터로 구성되며 새로운 변조방식인 PWAM(Pulse Width/Amplitude Modulation)방식을 사용하여 제어한다. PWAM방식은 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation)방식과 PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) 방식이 혼합된 새로운 변조방식이며 인버터의 입력단에 위치한 buck-boost 변환기는 일정한 직류전압을 입력으로 받아 가변 직류전압으로 변환한다. 인버터는 buck-boost 변환기에서 출력된 가변 직류전압을 입력으로 하며, PWM 구간에서는 PWM 스위칭을 하고 PAM 구간에서는 인버터가 스위칭을 하지 않음으로써 정현 교류전압으로 변환한다. 제안한 PWAM방식을 사용한 단상 인버터 시스템은 PAM 구간에서 스위칭 동작을 하지 않으므로 기존의 방식에 비해 스위칭 횟수가 감소하여 스위칭 손실을 줄일 수 있다. In this paper, we propose a single-phase inverter system using new modulation method. The proposed system is composed of a buck-boost converter and an inverter and controlled by PWAM scheme. PWAM method is a new modulation method which is the incorporation of PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) and PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) methods. The DC voltage which is the input voltage of buck-boost converter is converted into a variable DC voltage by buck-boost converter. Also, the variable DC voltage which is the output voltage of buck-boost converter is converted into a sinusoidal AC voltage by inverter. The input voltage of inverter is processed by PWM switching in PWM section and bypassed in PAM section. By using PWAM method, switching action is not existed in PAM section and thus the times of switching is reduced. As a result, the switching loss can be reduced.

고윤석(Yun Seok Ko) 한국전자통신학회 2017 한국전자통신학회 논문지 Vol.12 No.5

본 연구에서는 SPWM 구동방식의 단상 풀 브리지 인버터의 전압제어계를 설계하였다. 전압제어계는 단상 풀-브리지 인버터, 출력전압과 기준전압의 오차를 선형적으로 보상하기 위한 PI 제어기, 제어기 신호로부터 SPWM 방식을 이용하여 게이트 신호를 발생시키기 위한 PWM 구동회로, 인버터 출력 전압 파형을 정현 파형으로 필터링하기 위한 LC 필터로 구성하였다. 끝으로, EMTP-RV를 이용하여 PWM 구동방식을 기반으로 하는 단상 풀-브리지 인버터의 전압 제어계를 모델링하였고 수개의 기준전압에 대한 시뮬레이션 연구를 통해 출력전압이 정확하게 기준전압을 수렴하는 것을 확인함으로서 제어계 설계의 유효성을 확인할 수 있었다. In this study, the voltage control system of a single phase full bridge inverter was designed based on the SPWM driving method. The voltage control system consists of a single-phase full-bridge inverter, a PI controller for linearly compensating the error between the reference voltage and the output voltage, a PWM driving circuit for generating the gate signal using the SPWM method from the controller signal, and an LC filter for filtering the inverter output voltage waveform into sinusoidal waveform. Finally, the voltage control system of a single-phase full-bridge inverter based on the PWM driving method was modeled using EMTP-RV and by showing that the output voltage accurately converges the reference voltage through several simulation examples, the validity of the control system design was verified.

A Decupled PQ Control strategy of Voltage - Controlled Inverters

Yang Chen,Jinbin Zhao,Jinlong Wang,Keqing Qu,Shuuichi Ushiki,Masaaki Ohshima 전력전자학회 2015 ICPE(ISPE)논문집 Vol.2015 No.6

This paper deals with problems caused by high distributed generation penetration and proposes a simple and precise PQ control strategy for voltage-controlled inverters in micro grids. The widely-used current-controlled inverters cannot provide voltage support for micro grids and have to develop seamless transfer strategy between gird connected mode and islanded mode. A voltage-controlled inverter is raised in the paper due to the problems. The new inverter can be regarded as a voltage source cascaded with controllable output impedance. By adopting a new phase-locked loop, the output voltage amplitude and frequency are well decoupled. Thus output active and reactive powers are decoupled satisfactory. The output response is fast and precise. The idea is verified by simulation and experiment results.
