An analytical method that is based on the small-signal frequency response theory and the measurement approach is introduced to overcome this problem. The key idea is to use a signal which is formed by passing a continuous sinusoidal signal through a sample-and-hold circuit as the injected signal instead of the traditional continuous sinusoidal signal. Only the case in which the sampling frequency of the sample-and-hold circuit equals the switching frequency of the converter circuit is discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":283605,"journal":{"name":"PESC '88 Record., 19th Annual IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115640350","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 results show that the dielectric loss constitutes a large part of loss at high frequency and that thermal runaway can occur unless some precautions are taken in the design.

The special requirements for power-conditioning circuits are discussed, and an experimental model system for testing the performance of the proposed circuits is described. The experimental studies concern power transfer of the model system, current balance control, independent real (P) and reactive (Q) power control, online numeric P-Q measurement, and protection of the SMES system.
