Its most important feature is the conversion efficiency, followed by the converter size and cost. However, disadvantages that come out when large conversion ratio is required are: near unity duty cycles lead to difficulties in the operation at higher switching frequencies; also the boost switch suffer from both high voltage and current stresses, which leads to high power losses, independently of its operation in either continuous conduction mode or borderline conduction mode. The dc-dc converter investigated, based on the inductor split, reduces switching power losses and reduces the conduction power losses. Also, the borderline conduction mode is investigated and a control strategy is conceived from one-cycle control technique. Finally, a ZVS/ZCS softswitching circuit with regenerative clamping action is implemented. Simulation and experimental results validate the theory.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126484334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The topology is based on CIC-CPPFC (continuous input current charge-pump power factor correction) technique, achieving continuous conduction mode (CCM) input current with high power factor by using a coupled inductor, meeting IEC 61000-3-2 regulations for wide load range without additional input filter. Two different switching laws are tested. The first is complementary command with constant duty cycle of 50% and variable switching frequency and the second is the conventional (half-bridge) PWM. In the first case the converter operates with zero voltage switching (ZVS) resulting in high efficiency for a wide load range. The second allows the use of commercial command circuitry, reducing the cost. It is also a cost effective and competitive solution for low power applications where a two stage approach is costly and passive filters are not recommended. Another feature is the reduction of the DC-link capacitor, reducing costs and presenting a significant advantage over many single-stage solutions.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127789049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed front-end structure is composed by five boost power cells in interleaving connection, operating in discontinuous conduction mode as AC-DC converter, or as DC-DC converter, in order to provide the proper DC output voltage range required by DC or AC adjustable speed drivers. Therefore, when supplied by single-phase AC distribution networks, and operating as AC-DC converter, it is capable to provide high power factor, reduced harmonic distortion in the input current, complying with the restrictions imposed by the IEC 61000-3-4 standards resulting in significant improvements for the trolleybuses systems efficiency and for the urban distribution network costs. Considering the compliance with input current restrictions imposed by IEC 61000-3-4 standards, two digital control strategies were evaluated. The digital controller has been implemented using a low cost FPGA (XC3S200) and developed totally using a hardware description language VHDL and fixed point arithmetic.

In this algorithm, the non-orthogonal reference voltage is obtained according to the sector where the Reference Voltage (V*) lies. From the triangle identification inside hexagon, the Nearest Three Vectors (NTV) are determined using the information of the sector and triangle where V* is located. The duty cycles are calculated by a set of simple equations. The switching pattern is generated through coefficients referred to by the triangle number where V* lies. The softwares Quartus II®, ModelSim® and MatLab® were used to describe the algorithm in hardware description language, to check, test and simulate it. Fix-pointed 16-bit signed patterns were used for calculus. A 10 MHz clock was used to obtain the switching time, whereas the PWM works with a 50 MHz clock, in order to improve the PWM generation accuracy. The synchronism between switching time calculation and the PWM signal generation was carried out by a state machine. Altera® Cyclone® II FPGA Starter Development Kit with EP2C20F484C7N FPGA, was used to generate the V* and develop the proposed algorithm. The experimental results obtained with the three-level and simulation results with DCI five-level inverter were satisfactory, validating the FPGA algorithm implementation. This algorithm can be extended to topologies of generic-ordered DCI multilevel inverters, very slightly altering its computational efforts.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"392 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128484398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
