Instead of driving each TX in the same way, the proposed driving scheme would employ various compensations for different coils, and the power flow of each TX are closely coupled. Through circuit analysis, the proposed system would have multiple operation modes to avoid over load conditions. Meanwhile, it would maintain the benefits of a multiple-TX system like high misalignment tolerance, and enable the system design and control like a single-TX one, e.g., having load-independent output voltage. The experiment demonstrates the waveform of normal mode and protection mode, load-independent output voltage.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"47 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":"125401451","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 latter requires megawatt-level isolated medium-voltage (MV) AC to low-voltage (LV) DC conversion stages that operate with an efficiency of at least 98 %. Whereas today's most advanced industrial MVAC-LVDC solid-state transformer (SST) prototypes do achieve this, they are highly complex and do not show any clear advantages in terms of efficiency and power density over alternative approaches that retain the low-frequency transformer (LFT) to provide isolation and decoupling from harsh MV grid realities. We thus comparatively evaluate MVAC-LVDC SSTs against such alternative concepts, i.e., LFTs with LV-side SiC PFC rectifiers, or 12-pulse rectifier systems hybridized with active filters that just provide sufficient power processing capability to achieve unity power factor operation.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"6 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":"125540555","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}

This paper deals with these issues using a hybrid NPC inverter, which consists of an extra flying-capacitor (FC) leg. The FC is switching between 1010 and 0101 modes to keep the neutral point voltage and the ratio between two modes can be controlled to balance the charging current from the NPC inverter. The modulation-based strategies for common-mode voltage suppression are proposed in this paper. When the modulation ratio is less than 1, the constant CMV modulation with only medium voltage vectors and a specific zero vector can immensely reduce the CMV. When the modulation ratio is greater than 1 (<1.15), the strategy of CMV reduction will be used to attenuate the peak CMV of the inverter system. With the active switching of the FC leg, the neutral point voltage can be balanced in each switching cycle even with the new modulation in the NPC converter. Simulation and experimental results are provided to validate that the proposed strategies can achieve good performance in reductions of CMV and noise in wide modulation ratio.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"64 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114059834","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}

In which, issues of the iron loss in magnetic cores under different operating conditions of these converters are important and should be considered thoroughly. Therefore, this paper presents an experimental investigation of the iron loss characteristics of an amorphous ring core under the silicon carbide (SiC) inverter excitation at high carrier frequencies of up to 200 kHz using a high sampling rate of up to 5 GS/s in measurement. Effects of large changes in the dead-time and modulation index of the SiC inverter on the iron loss density of the amorphous ring are also examined. Moreover, impacts of several key factors, such as the fast-rising time in nanoseconds, ringing phenomenon occurring at megahertz frequency, total harmonic distortion (THD) of the ring's voltage, and minor B-H loops, on the increase in the iron loss density are analyzed. In addition, the iron loss properties of the amorphous ring core are compared to that of another ring core made from a non-oriented electrical steel for reference. Finally, concise physic-based insights and explanations for the main results are shown.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"24 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":"129621950","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}

Natural voltage balancing of dc-link and flying capacitors in the proposed topology implies that the sensors and voltage balancing controller commonly used in the conventional ANPC inverter is no longer necessary. In addition to switch count reduction, the most noteworthy merit of the proposed topology is its ease of implementation with commercial half-bridge modules, where the design of dedicated circuit is not needed.
