An Auxiliary Current Impulse Commutated Inverter with Least Trapped Energy: Analysis and Optimization

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the operation, analysis and optimization of an auxiliary current impulse commutated inverter that has least or no trapped energy. The operation of the inverter is described and its salient features are discussed in relation to the modified McMurray Inverter which is the most commonly used inverter. The trapped energy in the commutation circuit is studied and is shown to be the least compared to that in modified McMurray Inverter. The optimum operating parameters are derived analytically. The advantages of this inverter in pulse-width-modulated (PWM) inverter applications are examined. Prototype unit of this inverter has been built, tested and experimental results are presented.     

Analysis and Optimization of a Complementary Current Impulse Commutated Inverter

The operation, analysis, and optimization of a complementary impulse commutated inverter using current impulse instead of voltage impulse for commutation is presented. The operation of the inverter is described, and its salient features are discussed in relation to other commonly used inverters. The trapped energy in the commutation circuit is studied, and methods of feeding back or dissipating this energy are discussed. The optimum operating parameters are derived analytically. This inverter combines the good features of auxiliary commutation with the simplicity of complementary commutation. The advantages of this inverter in pulsewidth modulated (PWNM) inverter applications are examined. A three-phase PWM inverter with a novel switching strategy to minimize losses is designed, tested, and experimental results are presented.     

A New Current Source GTO Inverter with Sinusoidal Output Voltage and Current

A new current source inverter with sinusoidal output voltage and current is presented. Gate turn-off thyristors (GTO's) and pulsewidth modulation (PWM) control techniques are used in the current source inverter to produce the sinusoidal output voltage and current. Three capacitors are connected to the ac output terminals to absorb overvoltages which occur when the GTO current is cut off and to provide a filter function for reducing harmonics in the output current. Voltage spikes, which have been a serious problem in the practical application of this inverter, are suppressed by adding gate pulses which force the inverter into a state of shoot-through. Moreover, this inverter permits the capacitance of an ac output terminal capacitor for absorbing overvoltages to be reduced to one-tenth or less of that of a commutating capacitor in a conventional thyristor type current source inverter. A 3.7-kW induction motor is driven by the inverter. The motor efficiency and noise level are measured and compared with those obtained when the motor is driven by a conventional voltage source PWM inverter. An operating efficiency five or six percent higher and noise level 10 dB lower are obtained for the former. Therefore, this current source GTO inverter is very suitable for ac motor variable speed drives.

A nine‐switch inverter for driving two AC motors independently

This paper presents a nine‐switch inverter that can drive two AC motors independently. Recently, as an inverter that can drive them independently, a five‐leg inverter has been proposed. Ten switching devices are used for the five‐leg inverter, whereas only nine are used for the nine‐switch inverter. So, the nine‐switch inverter has the merit that one switching device can be reduced compared to the five‐leg inverter. Moreover, the maximum output voltage of the nine‐switch inverter equals that of the five‐leg inverter. In this work, we propose the structure of the nine‐switch inverter and a modulation method for the same, and validate the nine‐switch inverter by showing simulation results.

Novel Pulse-width Modulation Strategy to Minimize the Switching Losses of Z-Source Inverters

This article proposes a novel pulse-width modulation strategy to minimize switching losses of the Z-source inverter. The Z-source inverter has different pulse-width modulation patterns unlike the conventional voltage source inverter. Shoot-through states have been inserted within the zero states of the traditional pulse-width modulation patterns of a voltage source inverter to boost DC input voltage. Thus, the Z-source inverter has six active states, two zero states, and additional shoot-through states differentiating the Z-source and conventional voltage source inverters. The currents flowing through the switches of the Z-source inverter are larger than those of the conventional voltage source inverter, because Z-network currents must flow through the switches during the shoot-through states. Therefore, shoot-through currents increase the total switching losses of the Z-source inverter. In this article, switching losses of the Z-source inverter with the existing pulse-width modulation strategy are analyzed in detail. Then, new modulation signals of the Z-source inverter are introduced to produce unique pulse-width modulation patterns that minimize the switching losses of the Z-source inverter. The switching losses of the Z-source inverter with both pulse-width modulation strategies are simulated and compared. In addition, an experimental system has been built and tested to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
