( Abstract )
Interior permanent magnet synchronous motor is in the limelight as traction motor because it has advantages of miniaturization, reducing weight, and saving on maintenance costs. Because high-speed trains are large capacity loads, it is necessary to establish the design and development of inverter topology for driving IPMSM. NPC 3-level inverter has a high voltage rating and low harmonic, and can implement large capacity power conversion system. Also, it is easy to miniaturize and reduce weight because it does not need additional capacitors in comparison with other multilevel inverter topology. In this study, speed control of the IPMSM drives for the next generation domestic high-speed train system using 2-level inverter and NPC 3-level inverter is presented. Simulators of the system are implemented and simulations are performed. Finally, the designed systems are verified by comparison between simulations and experiments.

ABSTRACT
 In this paper,3-LevelNPC is applied as Back-to-Back foroffshore wind farm topology using PMSG.In caseofapplying 3-LevelNPC,each switch can withstand higher voltage than existing 2-Levelinverter,but overallloss of power converters is dramatically increased because amount of switching elemenT is increased.Thus,new switching method issuggested for 3-LevelNPC VSC If suggested method is applied,loss in NPC is minimized.

ZVT Resonant Boost Converter with New Auxiliary Circuit Kim Mo Se Dept. of Mechatronics Engineering Sungkyunkwan University 2013

ABSTRACT
Switch mode power supplies have become smaller and lighter due to higher switching frequency. However, higher switching frequency causes lots of periodic losses at switch turn-ON and turn-OFF,resulting in increasing losses of the whole system.Therefore,many converters have been presented that use resonance circuit to reduces witching losses. In this paper,A new zero voltage transition resonant boost converter is proposed.The conventional boost converter generates switching losses at turn ON and OFF,and this causesa reduction in the whole system’sefficiency.The proposed ZVT resonant boost converter utilizes a  method using an auxiliary circuit with a resonant inductor,capacitor and two auxiliary switch. Therefore the proposed zero voltage transition n resonant boost converter reduces switching losses more than the conventional hard switching converter. Also,the experimentis conducted with the 4[kW],30[kHz]converter which steps up the voltage from 200[V]to 400[V].It is confirmed that the result of the experimentand that of the simulation are same,and the validity of the converter is verified.
