Similar to the conventional transformerless three-level NPC inverter, common-mode voltage (CMV) and neutral-point voltage (NPV) issues should be addressed properly for the NPC-qZSI. Thus, this paper proposes a new control strategy for the NPC-qZSI to reduce CMV and balance NPV simultaneously by taking advantage of an additional control freedom enabled by the impedance network, i.e., three types of shoot-through states. The proposed strategy can achieve the CMV reduction by choosing the essential switching vectors with acceptable CMVs, while the NPV can be balanced by rearranging the chosen switching vectors in a switching cycle. Experimental tests are provided, which verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in terms of CMV reduction and NPV balancing.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116066142","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}

However, temperature sensing is typically slow and cannot accurately measure the junction temperature of power semiconductors in real-time. To resolve this issue, this paper proposes a novel thermal management strategy for interleaving power converters. It is based on the weighted current sharing strategy and gets rid of the temperature sensors. The loss model of power semiconductors is established to characterize the thermal performance. Fast closed-loop control is implemented to achieve thermal balance. To verify the proposed concept, a two-phase interleaved buck converter is designed to serve as the case study. The results show that 1) the designed prototype can regulate the output voltage tightly to the reference; 2) the output currents of each module are balanced utilizing a current-sharing loop; 3) thermal balance without temperature-sensing is achieved using the proposed loss-sharing-loop.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123380727","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}

A 100kW class traction application PMSM is designed and its output capability degradation depending on acceptable maximum magnet temperature is calculated. A concept to obtain maximum magnet temperature on shaft direction is introduced as well. This concept utilizes a step-skewed rotor structure, and estimates average temperature of each skewed rotor core by using magnet temperature dependence of total flux linkage. By assuming magnet temperature linearly varies on shaft direction, its distribution is calculated by linear extrapolation. Total flux linkages under several skewed rotor core temperature combinations are calculated by 3D finite element analysis (FEA). The result shows total flux linkage under specific core temperature combination has unique value. So, it is confirmed the temperature of each core can be estimated independently.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"11 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113976793","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}

To realize these requirements, applying compound semiconductor devices such as GaN and SiC are attractive options because they can drive at high-switching frequency with low power losses, and it is known to contribute to the miniaturization of passive devices. However, when driving power devices with high switching speed at high-switching frequency, EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) noise with a wide spectrum is produced. To attenuate EMI noise, large EMI filters have to be equipped. When using large EMI filters, the downsizing effect of power converters is reduced. To countermeasure the above problem, this paper proposes interleaved boost converter with integrated magnetics capable of Common-Mode (CM) noise reduction without adding EMI filters. The noise reduction is realized by the balanced technique, which is known as an effective noise reduction technique from a circuit topology perspective. In addition, interleaved circuit topology and integrated magnetics are contributed to realizing high-power density converters. The effectiveness of the proposed converters is discussed from simulation and experimental viewpoints.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130128151","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}
