Elementary inverters and rectifiers are time reversal duals of each other. When coupled together by a reactive matching network, a DC-DC converter whose properties are determined largely by the matching network is formed. This approach has application in the analysis and syntheses of PWM (pulse width modulation), resonant, quasi-resonant, and multiresonant converters. It is used here to synthesize a Cuk converter, and a double class E DC-DC power converter in which the switch and diode both operate in class E. The converter is ideally lossless for any DC load including open and short circuits.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330807,"journal":{"name":"21st Annual IEEE Conference on Power Electronics Specialists","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126148267","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}

Criteria are derived to determine the allowable range of variation in DC output voltage for a power module operating in a multiple-source, multiple-load system with a backplane interconnect. These criteria impose constraints on output voltage as a consequence of load voltage specifications, and of current-sharing accuracy required of the sources. An algorithm for implementing the solution of these criteria is presented. Computational results for two examples of power distribution systems using this algorithm are presented. The advantage of the system model is that a complete description is provided for a generalized power bus system, which may include ground and power planes of arbitrary geometry. The advantages of the algorithm are that the constraints determined for source voltage are valid under all combinations of load variation and source voltage variation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330807,"journal":{"name":"21st Annual IEEE Conference on Power Electronics Specialists","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115792327","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}

Switching between the voltage vectors is achieved on the basis of a desired trajectory for the state flux vector, which determines the airgap torque of the AC machine. This strategy with constant switching periods and duty cycles proportional to the voltage amplitude makes it possible to operate with a one-dimensional look-up table, conventional digital control schemes with constant sampling periods, and full synchronization between controllers and the switching process in the PWM-inverter. The fundamental current component can be obtained directly by sampling twice in each switching period without filtering, and the controller sampling period can be half the switching period, which makes it possible to exploit the maximum torque bandwidth of the AC drive. SFAVM is suited for fully digital fast response control of AC drives.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330807,"journal":{"name":"21st Annual IEEE Conference on Power Electronics Specialists","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114377865","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}

Both power supplies considered operated on the principle of load commutation. Coil parameters suitable for specifying the power supply requirements are described. The results of the comparative analysis show that the voltage-source series tuned inverter offers a better converter utilization than the current-source inverter. The voltage-source inverter's only shortcoming is the transient flux requirement for the matching transformer.
