Two-dimensional (2-D) mixed device and circuit simulations were used to study the carrier switching dynamics. It is shown that during turn-on, the EST has better performance than an IGBT with significantly enhanced drift region conductivity modulation. Thyristor-like on-state operation of EST leads to a slight degradation of the turn-off performance as compared to the IGBT.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":244042,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems.

The technique is based on data sampling and at the same instance calculating and recording the necessary parameter determination input such as currents, voltages, power, power factor and speed whilst the machine runs up to speed. In this paper, a method is proposed whereby the no-load and zero-speed data are also measured from the run-up test. Furthermore the technique takes into account rotor parameter variations with frequency due to skin effect, and other nonlinear imperfections such as heating, main flux path saturation, leakage variation or flux migration due to rotor skew.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":244042,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems.

Schottky diodes give small stored charge (5nC) and are ideal for high frequency power supplies, while p-n rectifiers allowing large current and soft recovery are advantageous as IGBT-freewheeling diodes. Stress testing and materials analysis performed indicate the robustness of GaAs, which is believed to allow the high temperature capability of GaAs to be fully utilized.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":244042,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems.

It possesses all the good properties of the sliding mode control and avoids the unnecessary discontinuity of the control input, thus eliminating chattering which has been considered as a serious obstacle for applications of VSS. A unified control approach for the stator currents and torque control based on the discrete-time sliding mode for application in indirect vector control of an IM drive is developed. The sliding mode approach can be applied to the control of an IM servodrive due to the replacement of the hysteresis controller with the widely used PWM technique. All the theoretical issues are verified by experiments. The experimental system consists of a transputer T805 and a microcontroller, which enables parallel processing.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":244042,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems.

Usual techniques for alleviating the problems of interference generation by power converters involve the use of screening materials and filters. However, the effectiveness of such measures depends on the frequency of the interference and the power density at each frequency of interest. As pulse width modulation (PWM) generates high frequency harmonics at multiples of the switching frequency, modulation of the switching frequency may be used to spread the spectral power density present at these harmonic frequencies. This paper presents a technique of frequency-hopping spread-spectrum modulation which may be applied to switched-mode power converters to reduce the spectral power density at harmonics of the switching frequency. The influence of the peak frequency deviation and the modulation sequence length on the resultant spectrum are discussed. These predictions have been broadly confirmed in practice.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":244042,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems.

The generic voltage-fed and current-fed circuit versions of single-ended resonant inverters for home power electronics appliances are systematically proposed and classified on the basis of the soft-switched PFM mode inverter family. The advanced IGBT designed for the application-specific soft-switching and its driver IC are shown for a new induction-heating rice cooker including cooking vessel and evaluated from an experimental point of view. These new technologies are especially developed for quasi-resonant ZVS high-frequency inverter with working coil-linked induction-heating loads. This high-efficiency high-frequency quasi-resonant inverter system with high-power factor correction and sinewave line current shaping functions is practically demonstrated including a high-frequency IGBT with reduced saturation voltage characteristics, and discussed on the basis of high-power density home-power electronic appliances in the next generation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":244042,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems.
