Current-fed three-phase and voltage-fed three-phase activeconverters with optimum PWM pattern scheme and their performanceevaluations

This paper describes a new approach to select the optimum sinewave pulsewidth modulation (PWM) patterns suitable for a large-capacity current-fed active PWM power converter and a practical design procedure to determine circuit constants of a low-pass filter connected to suppress higher line current harmonics flowing into the utility-grid AC power source. A feasible test is implemented by building a prototype 500 kW three-phase current-fed PWM power converter which is designed and controlled on the basis of the proposed considerations. It is verified from a practical point of view that these new conceptual considerations are more effective and acceptable to minimize higher harmonic current components flowing into the utility-grid AC power source. This experimental setup provides highly efficient steady-state characteristics of the current-fed three-phase PWM power converter under the operating condition of a unity power factor correction and sinewave line current shaping schemes. Furthermore, this unique optimum PWM pattern derived from the theoretical method proposed here is conveniently applicable to a voltage-fed three-phase PWM converter. It is verified that this optimum PWM pattern provides excellent switching performance with a lower switching frequency mode than the conventional carrier-based PWM scheme     

A new control strategy to improve the performance of a PWM AC to DCconverter under unbalanced operating conditions

Abnormal harmonics of significant magnitude are generated at the output and input terminals of a PWM (pulse-width-modulated) AC-to-DC power converter under unbalanced operating conditions. A new control strategy is presented to selectively cancel the generated lower-order abnormal harmonics at the output and input terminals and thereby to preserve the high-performance features of a PWM AC-to-DC power converter. The proposed technique essentially involves computing the sequence components of the unbalanced input supply and suitably counter-unbalances the PWM gating signals of the power converter switches to cancel the generated abnormal harmonics. The technique is essentially a feedforward approach and is suitable for higher-power GTO (gate turn-off thyristor) type PWM AC-to-DC power converters. A procedure for implementing this technique in real time is discussed. Selected results are verified experimentally on a prototype PWM AC-to-DC power converter

DC-side shunt-active power filter for phase-controlled magnet-loadpower supplies

Phase-controlled thyristor rectifiers are still the preferred choice in high-power AC/DC converters. This paper shows that their steady-state and dynamic performance can be greatly enhanced for applications requiring high-precision fast-response performance by means of a hybrid structure using a shunt pulse-width modulation (PWM) active filter. In this hybrid structure, the rectifier is designed to handle the bulk of the output power, whereas the PWM converter is only used for harmonic cancellation and current-error compensation under transient conditions. This results in a small power rating for the shunt-active filter. A suitable control scheme is proposed and implemented in this paper for the rectifier and PWM converter. Experimental results are provided to validate the proposed concept

Digital-to-analogue conversion using pulse width modulation

Pulse width modulation (PWM) has found application in various situations where efficient delivery of high power is required. In this paper its use in the conversion of signals from digital to analogue representations is addressed, i.e. as a digital-to-analogue converter (DAC), and it is shown that there are many advantages in using PWM over conventional DAC methods and that high resolution and accuracy can be achieved. One advantage is that, provided a suitable output stage can be provided, a complete, high-power, high-resolution digital-to-analogue power converter can be constructed. Because this work was motivated by the author's interest in digital audio, such a device has come to be known as a digital (power) amplifier. The article describes PWM, particularly in its digital forms, and shows how to make it practical for use as a DAC. This involves various digital signal processing stages prior to the final modulator. Results are presented from simulations and from demonstrator hardware

Narrow Pulse Elimination PWM for Multilevel Digital Audio Power Amplifiers Using Two Cascaded H-Bridges as a Nine-Level Converter

This paper presents a methodology to reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) in digital audio power amplifiers, using two new approaches: 1) a multilevel converter made of two cascaded full-bridges, with suitable power supplies to operate as a nine-level hybrid type converter and 2) a new pulsewidth modulation (PWM) technique called narrow pulse elimination (NPE) PWM. The proposed nine-level converter uses only eight MOSFETs. Unlike conventional PWM, the NPE PWM does not generate excessively narrow pulses, so that power semiconductors nonideal delays and switching times are still negligible. Therefore, the nine-level output voltage THD, mostly introduced in the power stage, is strongly reduced. With the NPE technique, the resolution of the generated PWM is no longer limited by the switching speed of the output switches, but only by the frequency of digital processing circuit. Simulation and experimental results from a laboratory prototype are presented in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches
