ABSTRACT
A Novel Single-Phase Cascaded Multilevel AC-AC Converter Without Commutation Problem Kim, Sang-hun Department of Electrical Engineering Graduate School, Kyungpook National University Daegu, Korea (Supervised by Professor Kim, Heung-Geun) Abstract) This paper presents a novel cascaded multilevel PWM ac-ac converter that can solve commutation problem. By cascading the single-phase PWM ac-ac converter that uses basic switching cell structure and coupled inductors, the proposed converter does not need to sense the voltage or current polarity for safe commutation. When many unit-cells are cascaded, the proposed converter has more output voltage levels and can obtain high ac output voltage by using low voltage rating switching devices. By applying phase-shifted PWM technique, the proposed converter can reduce output filter size significantly. A 2 kW prototype converter having four unit-cell structure is built and tested to verify the performance.

Novel Current-Mode AC/AC Converters With High-Frequency AC Link-Daolian Chen-Power Electronics Research Institute, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou

Abstract—A novel circuit-topology family of the current-mode ac/ac converter with high-frequency ac link, based on a Flyback converter, is proposed. These circuit topologies, which can transfer one unregulated sinusoidal voltage with high total harmonic distortion (THD) into another regulated constant-frequency sinusoidal voltage with low THD, are composed of input cycloconverter, high-frequency storage transformer, and output cycloconverter. The circuit-topology family includes single fourquadrant power switch mode, push–pull mode, half-bridge mode, and full-bridge mode circuits. The single four-quadrant power switch mode and push–pull mode converters are suitable for low input voltage fields, but the half-bridge mode and full-bridge mode converters are suitable for high input voltage fields. The operational mode, steady principle, and transient voltage feedback control strategy of the kind of converter are investigated. The output characteristic curve, its relation to internal resistance, and the design criteria for the key circuit parameters are given. The theoretical analysis and the test result of the 500 VA 220 V ± 15% 50 HzAC/220 V 50 HzAC prototype have shown that the converters have advantages such as high-frequency galvanic isolation, simple topology, two-stage power conversion [low frequency alternating current (LFAC)/high frequency alternating current (HFAC)/LFAC], bidirectional power flow, high efficiency, high power density, low THD of the output voltage, strong adaptability to various loads, higher line power factor, low audio,noise, etc.

ABSTRACT
Many voltage sag compensators have been introduced, including the traditional dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), which requires an energy storage device but is inadequate for compensating deep and long-duration voltage sags. The AC-AC sag compensators introduced next do not require a storage device and they are capable of compensating voltage sags. This type of compensator needs an AC-AC converter to regulate the output voltage. Presented in this paper is a three-phase PWM-switched autotransformer voltage sag compensator based on an AC-AC converter that uses a proposed detection technique and PWM voltage control as a controller. Its effectiveness and capability in instantly detecting and compensating voltage sags were verified via MATLAB/Simulink simulations and further investigated through a laboratory prototype developed with a TMS320F2812 DSP as the main controller.

 ABSTRACT

Research on a GaN HEMT On-Board Charger for Electric Vehicles Guoen Cao Dept. of Electronic Systems Engineering The Graduate School Hanyang University With an accelerating global energy crisis and deteriorating environmental problems, electric vehicle (EV) technologies have attracted growing interest due to their reduced fuel usage and greenhouse emissions. The battery charger plays a critical role for the acceptance and development of EVs. Because a battery is generally used as the main power source, a high conversion efficiency, high power density, and lightweight on-board-charger (OBC) is needed in order to maximize the energy utilization. Gallium nitride based high electron-mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs) are potential candidates as next-generation power switching devices due to the enormous potential use in the applications of high frequency, high temperature, and high output power, in particular of battery charger applications. Although much progress has been achieved in the development of GaN HEMTs, a few important issues such as current collapse effects should be evaluated before wide deployment is possible. Since evaluating performance in power semiconductors and selecting the optimal topologies are important steps in the design and development of power electronics circuits, this thesis is concerned with the performance evaluation of the new GaN HEMTs and the design of an isolated OBC that uses GaN HEMTs to achieve high efficiency for future applications in EVs.

A VOLTAGE SAG SUPPORTER UTILIZING A PWM-SWITCHED AUTOTRANSFORMER-Thesis(doctoral)-- Georgia Institute of Technology : Electrical & Computer Engineering 2004-Dong-Myung Lee

 1.1 Background 

A power distribution system is similar to a vast network of rivers. It is important to remove any system faults so that the rest of the power distribution service is not interrupted or damaged. When a fault occurs somewhere in a power distribution system, the voltage is affected throughout the power system. Among various power quality problems, the majority of events are associated with either a voltage sag or a voltage swell, and they often cause serious power interruptions. A voltage sag condition implies that the voltage on one or more phases drops below the specified tolerance for a short period of time. A voltage swell condition occurs when the voltage of one or more phases rises above the specified tolerance for a short period of time. The causes of voltage sags and swells are associated with faults within the power distribution system. Users located a close distance to the fault experience voltage sags much greater in magnitude and duration than users located farther away, and as the electrical system recovers after removing the fault, voltage swells are produced throughout the system for short periods of time. Often all users who are served by the power distribution system have power interruptions during a fault because of the effects of a voltage sag or voltage swell produced in the system by the fault. The objective of this research is to develop a novel voltage control scheme that can compensate for voltage sag and swell conditions in three-phase power systems. Power systems supply power for a wide variety of different user applications, and sensitivity to voltage sags and swells varies widely for different applications. Some applications such as automated manufacturing processes are more sensitive to voltage sags and swells than other applications. For sensitive loads, even a voltage sag of short duration can cause serious problems in the manufacturing process. Normally, a voltage interruption triggers a protection device, which causes the entire branch of the system to shut down.

Design and control of unified power conversion system for EV electric vehicle -Park,SangHoon Dept. of Mechatronics Engineering-Sungkyunkwan University

Design and control of unified power conversion system for EV
ABSTRACT
Most developed countries that produce vehicles and automobile companies invest in lots of budgets for developing electric vehicle to reduce the use of fossil fuel. Particularly, as the battery technology has been made rapid progress, electric vehicles are able to operate with only battery system. In this context, battery charger connected with grid is required to charge the batteries attached with vehicles. Battery charger charges the battery bank through using the electrical energy of grid, and the operation is similar with that fossil fuel is injected into the gas tank of an internal-combustion engine. This system requires input power factor controller and energy conversion system for charging the battery bank, and the system generally consists of diode rectifier and DC/DC converter or single stage AC/DC PWM converter. In the case of the charger that consists of diode rectifier and DC/DC converter, based on the voltage level of battery, the battery is charged through using buck type or boost type DC/DC converter, and the input power factor is controlled as well. On the other hand, AC/DC PWM converter contains single stage circuit that consists of power semi-conductor switching devices instead of diode rectifier, and the converter charges battery and controls input power factor. Moreover, the structures of energy conversion system to control motor are classified into two types. The first type is that the voltage and capacity of battery bank is bulky. In this case, the battery bank is employed as the input of inverter. The inverter supplies energy for operating to motor and transports free-wheeling energy generated when vehicle brakes suddenly to the battery bank through simple rectifying operation. The second type is that the voltage and capacity of the battery bank is comparably low. When the vehicle is operating, the Bi-directional DC/DC converter boosts the battery energy until the voltage is same as that of inverter DC-link. On the other hand, when the vehicle is braking, the free-wheeling energy is charged into the battery bank through the Bi-directional DC/DC converter.

In this paper, battery charger used for electric vehicle as an energy conversion system, Bi-directional DC/DC converter, and three-phase voltage source inverter were designed. The inverter performs the vector control of interior synchronous permanent magnet motor for electric vehicle. Also, depending on the driving mode, simulation was performed through using the designed energy conversion system. The battery charger charges four 12[V] series connected lead battery bank with single commercial power, and the charger was designed based on AC/DC PWM buck converter. The capacity of the employed battery bank is 48[V]/100[Ah], and the battery bank was charged in constant current control condition with 0.2[C-rate], 20[A]. The Bi-directional DC/DC converter was designed based on three-phase interleaved type buck-boost DC/DC converter. The designed converter controls the output voltage constantly as 250[V] in operating condition, and the inductor current of each phase was controlled by the designed converter to have same average current value.


Particularly, the DC-link voltage of inverter is controlled in 230~270[V] range by the instantaneous boost and buck operations of Bi-directional DC/DC converter in free-wheeling mode. Due to the operational characteristic of the Bi-directional DC/DC converter, the DC-link voltage of the inverter is able to be stable, and the system shows better performance than vector controlled system since DC-link voltage of the inverter is controlled in definite range when free-wheeling mode is turned into driving mode. Previously mentioned, 1.2[kW] battery charger was designed for the 0.2[C-rate] constant current and 50.7[V] constant voltage control of 48[V]/100[Ah] battery bank, and 4[kW] Bi-directional DC/DC converter for boosting the charged energy of battery bank and three-phase voltage source inverter were designed. The designed energy conversion systems verified the validity of results through presenting the experimental results depending on the driving modes of electric vehicle.
