    Efficiency improvement of converter for switched reluctance motor drives by mixed parallel operation of IGBT and MOSFET
    (2010-12-01)
    Woothipatanapan, Sakhon
    ;
    ;
    This paper presents a method to improve the efficiency of a standard asymmetric half-bridge converter for 3-phase, 12/8 switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives at low speed operation. At that speed range, the converter operates mainly in current chopping modes. The proposed method employs mixed parallel operation of IGBT/MOSFET pairs. The technique is aiming for minimizing the turn-off switching losses of IGBT which are the main chopping switches. MOSFET are placed in parallel with each IGBT in order to momentarily conduct the phase current during IGBT's turn-off intervals. While the MOSFET is on, the voltage across the IGBT is close to zero resulting in substantially decreased turn-off loss. Those fast switching MOSFET later instantaneously turn-off the current with almost lossless. The algorithm is verified by computer simulation and experimental results. The results have satisfactorily shown validity of the proposed concept. Furthermore, performance of the proposed strategy is superior to those of the typical hard switching technique and the conventional soft switching scheme using optimum sized snubber capacitors. ©2010 IEEE.

    Small signal modeling of a two-output high-frequency series-resonant induction heater
    (2014-01-01)
    Kongsakorn, P.
    ;
    This paper proposes the analysis of a small-signal model of two-output high-frequency series-resonant induction heater. There are 2 control loops: power control by duty-cycle and frequency control to maintain the zero-voltage switching condition for all operating period. This prototype controls power by using 3 branches of full bridge series-resonant inverter: one branch for common control and others for each independently two-output whose power controlled by the asymmetrical voltage cancellation methodology. The small-signal equivalent circuit model is confirmed by PSpice with good agreement in simulation data. © 2014 IEEE.

    Novel MPPT Methodology by using Daily Recorded Lookup Table Technique: Relationship between Duty Cycle and Temperature
    (2022-01-01)
    Lapkitticharoenchai, Yuttikarn
    ;
    This paper shows the new technique of tracking Maximum Power Point (MPP) that is faster than P&O one. Furthermore, it can reduce the swing of MPP but P&O technique never deal with. This technique uses automatically selective technique between P&O and Lookup Table to reach MPP. At first, the controller selects P&O technique to track MPP and record the data on relationship between temperature and duty cycle into the Table. When the data in the Table are more enough and the recent temperature value is under defined condition, the controller will change P&O to Lookup Table technique automatically. However, the recorded data in the Table will be reset every day for tracking MPP accurately.

    Analysis of three-level full -bridge ZVZCS PWM converter with simple auxiliary circuit
    (2012-10-02)
    Songboonkaew, J.
    ;
    This paper proposes a three-level full-bridge ZVZCS converter with ZVS turn on and ZCS turn off conditions using a simple auxiliary circuit on secondary side. The primary current is reset in order to reduce circulating current in transformer and voltage stress and spike voltage of diode bridge rectifier on secondary side. The control strategy uses double phase-shift PWM to control output voltage. Therefore, the lower breakdown voltage of diodes, the smaller LC filter. The simple auxiliary circuit can help to maintain output voltage. Also, The experimental and simulation results from a 100 V/10 A, 60 kHz are also presented, which is used to verify the theoretical analysis. © 2012 IEEE.

    A PSPWM with variable frequency control for a two-output three-level series resonant inverter
    (2015-08-17)
    Meesrisuk, Watanyu
    ;
    ;
    This research paper presents a two-output three-level series resonant inverter by using phase-shifted pulse width modulation with a variable frequency control technique. In order to achieve the boundary condition of operation under ZVS for all switches, this paper will analyze this condition which depends on operating frequency and phase-shifted angle between the gate signals of the outer switches and the inner switches. In addition, the proposed circuit was designed, built and tested. The test has two cases which include fixed frequency control and variable control method. From the experiment, the fixed frequency control cannot obtain the ZVS condition of switches for all phase-shifted angle values. On the other hand, the variable frequency control can maintain the ZVS condition for all phase-shifted angle values that is in line with the proposed concept.

    (2010-12-01)
    Sanajit, N.
    ;
    This paper presents a 2 kW, 36.5 kHz induction shower using a duty cycle control. The principle of this depends on induction heating from high frequency electromagnetic induction. The high frequency electric current passes through two induction coils connected in parallel so as to induce current at work piece that uses a stainless steel box and transfer heat to water inside it. The control uses the duty cycle which is generated from integrated circuit. In addition, this paper analysis output power and efficiency compared with the duty cycle. The results waveform shown as a ZVS condition is agreed with the theory one. A fixed PWM induction shower gives the rated output power and makes the temperature rise to 41 °C at the work piece in steady state within 2 min. ©2010 IEEE.

In this paper, the operation principle and operation mode are demonstrated. The experimental results obtained from a prototype are agreement with the simulation ones. © 2007 IEEE.
