Dual voltage converter with improved power factor and enabling voltage control

In this paper, a novel version of the dual voltage converter is presented with improved voltage regulation and enabling a wide range of voltage control by using self-turn-off devices (power transistors) instead of diodes. Further, this system operates with unity displacement factor. We have obtained the analytical expressions of this circuit. The results are, however, quite complex. We could calculate values of the voltage and current waveforms by using a computer. The calculated values are essentially in agreement with the experimental values. Experimentally, an ideal load characteristic with null voltage regulation was obtained by the conduction angle control for power transistors. Further, a wide range of voltage from 220 V to 39 V was obtained. A disadvantage for this system is the requirement for snubber circuits with a larger value of capacitor in order to suppress the surge voltages at turn-off periods.

A pulsed power supply with sag compensation using controlled gradational voltage

A pulsed power supply with sag compensation using controlled gradational voltage to increase the flatness of output waveforms has been developed. The sag compensation circuit consists of compensation units connected in series. Each compensation unit consists of capacitances, diodes, and semiconductor switches. The capacitances of each unit are charged with different voltages by 2ⁿ(V₀,2V₀,4V₀,…). The compensation voltage, which has 2ⁿ?1 steps, is generated by switching the semiconductor switches of each unit in a binary sequence. Using this method, compensation voltage waveforms up to 6.2 kV with 31 steps can be obtained with five compensation units. The sag compensation circuit has been adapted to a direct switch‐type pulsed power supply, which generates 7 kV pulsed voltage with a pulse width of 700µs, thus realizing sag compensation. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel method of suppressing the inrush current of transformers by using a series‐connected voltage‐source PWM converter

This paper proposes a novel method of suppressing the inrush current of transformers. A small‐rated voltage‐source PWM converter is connected in series to the transformers through a matching transformer. As the connected PWM converter serves as a resistor for the source current, no inrush phenomena occurs. The required rating of the PWM converter, which serves as the damping resistor for the inrush phenomena, is 1/400 that of the main transformers in single‐phase circuits. In three‐phase circuits, it is 1/900. The basic principle of the proposed method is discussed. Digital computer simulation is implemented to confirm the validity and excellent practicability of the proposed method using the PSCAD/EMTDC. A prototype experimental model is constructed and tested. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can perfectly suppress the inrush phenomena. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Control of fault current limiter by series‐connected voltage sag compensator

This paper describes a control scheme of fault current limiter by series voltage injection. The current limiter proposed in this study is based on the use of a SMES‐based series‐connected voltage sag compensator, which has been previously studied by the authors, for controlling fault current caused by short circuit on the load side. An algorithm for fast discriminating between power system voltage sag and load‐side short circuit is proposed for the equipment to correctly function either for voltage sag compensation or for fault current limiting purpose. Furthermore, a new control strategy based on output voltage phase control of the series compensator is proposed for current limiting with good waveform characteristics and low active power absorption. Experimental results demonstrated the validity of the proposed strategy. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A high‐efficiency isolated DC/DC converter using series connection on the secondary side

This paper proposes a new circuit topology for a high‐efficiency isolated DC/DC converter using series compensation. The proposed converter consists of a high‐efficiency resonance half‐bridge converter and a series converter. The series converter regulates the output voltage and provides only the differential voltage between the input voltage and output voltage. Therefore, the circuit achieves high efficiency when the input voltage is almost equal to the output voltage, because then only the resonance converter will operate. In this paper, the approach employed to achieve high efficiency by using the proposed series compensation method is introduced. In addition, the fundamental operation and the method of designing the proposed circuit are described. The suitability of the proposed circuit was confirmed by performing experiment and loss analysis, and the maximum efficiency achieved was 96.2%. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Series resonant ZCS‐PFM DC‐DC power converter with high‐frequency high‐voltage transformer link for high‐power magnetron drive

This paper presents a single lossless inductive snubber‐assisted ZCS‐PFM series resonant DC‐DC power converter with a high‐frequency high‐voltage transformer link for industrial‐use high‐power magnetron drive. The current flowing through the active power switches rises gradually at a turned‐on transient state with the aid of a single lossless snubber inductor, and ZCS turn‐on commutation based on overlapping current can be achieved via the wide range pulse frequency modulation control scheme. The high‐frequency high‐voltage transformer primary side resonant current always becomes continuous operation mode, by electromagnetic loose coupling design of the high‐frequency high‐voltage transformer and the magnetizing inductance of the high‐frequency high‐voltage transformer. As a result, this high‐voltage power converter circuit for the magnetron can achieve a complete zero current soft switching under the condition of broad width gate voltage signals. Furthermore, this high‐voltage DC‐DC power converter circuit can regulate the output power from zero to full over audible frequency range via the two resonant frequency circuit design. Its operating performances are evaluated and discussed on the basis of the power loss analysis simulation and the experimental results from a practical point of view. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A proposal of a power distortion compensator using a matrix converter

Recently, renewable resource supplies, such as fuel cells, photovoltaic cells, wind power, and engine generators for distributed power systems have been studied intensely. Conventional compensators with switching devices are constructed based on a voltage source inverter using six arms. Therefore, conventional power quality compensators require a large electrolytic capacitor in the DC link part of the equipment. The use of a large capacitor hinders downsizing efforts and the lowering of equipment costs. Direct converters, which do not have a large electrolytic capacitor and an initial charge circuit, can be used to realize downsizing and lowering of equipment costs, when compared with conventional converters. This paper proposes a new application of a matrix converter to a PM generator for power quality compensation, such as reactive power compensation, harmonic current, and power interruption. The novel point of this work is that the matrix converter provides reactive power with harmonic current. Simulated and experimental results confirm that the matrix converter can maintain high performance the same as a conventional active filter and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
