By considering the operation of the inverter, a simple but useful concept named 'effective time' could be established, and, fully employing this concept, a new voltage modulation technique is presented with detailed explanation and actual test results. The results show that (1) the implementation burden of PWM is conspicuously reduced, (2) change from one modulation scheme to another is also obtained easily and seamlessly, and (3) widely used overmodulation schemes are easily implemented.","PeriodicalId":262154,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Power Conversion Conference - PCC '97","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115637352","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 causes problems such as resonance expansions which produce malfunctions or overcurrents at substations and electromagnetic interference with signalling systems. Normal active filters only shift the harmonic frequencies to a higher range. A novel harmonic compensator produces an exact counter-MMF of which in the main transformer main flux is then sinusoidal. Experimental results from a small model of a Japanese AC railway vehicle are described. Especially the 3-4 kHz frequency range that coincides with the signalling band harmonic currents are quite well suppressed. From the result, this novel compensating method appears promising for any 50 Hz-fed PWM controlled AC railway traction system.","PeriodicalId":262154,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Power Conversion Conference - PCC '97","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115678888","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}

It has the following interesting and distinguished features. The employed field orientation is pure rotor flux orientation. The field orientation scheme requires neither velocity nor position estimation at all. It is a completely seamless hybrid of indirect and direct orientation schemes and the indirect scheme is quite new and simple. Estimates of both rotor and stator fluxes can be obtained. It is completely free from variation of rotor electrical parameters in most operating cases. An instant estimate of rotor velocity for speed control is available. Rigorous numerical experiments are carried out in order to examine torque response with constant velocity in both motoring and regenerating operations, torque response in four-quadrant operation with variable velocity and speed response to variable commands in which maximum and minimum values are 500 and 1(rad/sec) respectively and acceleration and deceleration are /spl plusmn/400(rad/sec/sup 2/). Results show the high potential usefulness of the proposed hybrid scheme.","PeriodicalId":262154,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Power Conversion Conference - PCC '97","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121830870","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 unit consists of an array of solar panels, a step-up chopper, a single-phase inverter, an AC mains power source and a microcontroller-based control unit. The novelty of this unit is that the switching device of the chopper is not only used for power conversion but also for maximum power point (MPP) detection. In existing MPP trackers, the MPP is detected by hardware. The parameters of such hardware are subject to changes of environmental conditions. In the new unit, the MPP is determined by a simple embedded software. With this new approach the modularization of the conversion from solar power to electric power at its maximum power point can be made more compact and more reliable.","PeriodicalId":262154,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Power Conversion Conference - PCC '97","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121017291","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}
