A novel topology for efficient utilization of parallel inverters as current source active power filter (APF) for high-power applications is presented and analyzed. The proposed technique operates the master inverter with high-power low-switching-frequency devices to compensate the low-order large-amplitude current harmonic components and the slave inverter with low-power high-switching-frequency devices to compensate the high-order small-amplitude current harmonic components. This paper discusses the operating principle, main circuit and control system design. Simulation and experimental results are provided to demonstrate the viability of the scheme.

Operational Range

Dual interleaved LLC resonant converter with half bridge topology of main circuit characterized by high switching frequency (500 kHz), high power density (60 W/inch3) and high efficiency (above 96 %) over entire operational range (20 %–100 %) is described. Focus was given on the practical design of power converter, which will be able to fulfil requirements on wide load range operation characterized by upcoming normative. Since proposed topology is based on dual interleaved LLC converter, the resonant component´s critical tolerance was also investigated to secure reliable and optimal operational point. Consequently, proposals for elimination of intolerance negative impact are also described. The results of theoretical analysis were verified directly through experimental measurements. Experimental results are finally compared with upcoming industrial standard 80 Plus Titanium.

The Dead

Research on applying selective harmonic elimination pulse width modulation (SHE-PWM) to high power converters has drawn tremendous interest, due to the advantages of low switching frequency and high output harmonic performance. In the fields of high power converters such as variable speed traction motor drives and static synchronous compensators (STATCOM), the adoption of high voltage but slow speed semiconductor devices, i.e., IGBT/IGCT, results in a longer dead time of several microseconds, which leads to a motor vibration in the former case or the distortion of grid current in the latter case. This paper analyzes in detail the mechanism of the dead-time effect on 3-level SHE-PWM with different operating conditions considered. For the first time, a general mathematical model describing the relationship between the dead time and harmonic distribution of SHE-PWM wave is established. Based on which an open-loop compensation method by inserting a margin time into the effective switching angles is proposed. Furthermore, a closed-loop controller that implements online adaptive adjustment of the margin time is designed in case of a variable frequency application. The effectiveness of the proposed method in different scenarios is verified through simulation results.

Severe Limitation

Recently, there is an increased demand for high power, high performance converters for power system applications, motor drives, etc. The low switching frequency of the existing semiconductor power devices poses a severe limitation that can be overcome by the use of interconnected smaller power converters (multiconverter) with appropriate control. This paper gives an overview of the state of the art of multiconverters, followed by a comparison based on analytically calculated values of the spectra, RMS and peak values of their ripple currents, and the peak values of the transformer's flux. Special attention has been given to show that the transformerless parallel connection of converters is feasible and offers features such as simplicity, gracefully degrading operating, high reliability, easy expandability and easy maintenance.
