    Abstract: For open loop phase pre-charge, an apparatus includes a Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) charging diode and a charge generator. The SMPS charging diode pre-charges an SMPS to a regulation set point from at least one phase of an Alternating Current (AC) voltage. The charge generator is powered by the pre-charged SMPS. In response to detecting the regulation set point iteratively, the charge generator detects a specified phase angle of the AC voltage. In response to the specified phase angle, the charge generator iteratively generates a charging voltage during positive voltage interval that charges a Direct Current (DC) bus capacitor to a target DC bus voltage within a charging time interval. At least a portion of the charge generator comprises one or more of hardware and executable code, the executable code stored on one or more computer readable storage media.

    Abstract: For reducing volume requirements and magnetic flux leakage, a compact inductor includes a first planar core with a first core thickness along a first axis orthogonal to a plane of the first planar core. In addition, the inductor includes a second planar core disposed parallel to the first planar core with a second core thickness along the first axis. The inductor further includes a plurality of electrical windings disposed between and adjacent to an inside plane of the first planar core and an inside plane of the second planar core. The electrical windings may include insulated electrical wires. No magnetic teeth may be disposed between the first planar core and the second planar core. The first axis is parallel to a magnetic axis of each electrical winding.

    Abstract: Control apparatus, techniques and computer readable mediums are presented to mitigate LCL filter resonance issue for voltage source converters. Two level voltage source converter with and without passive damping of LCL filter are selected for the comparative study. Control algorithms are presented to estimate the source impedance based on variable carrier PWM. Estimated source impedance is used to tune the control of the VSC to avoid the resonance of LCL filter has been presented. In situations in which LCL resonance cannot be avoided by tuning the control parameters, energy efficient techniques are disclosed to provide selective passive damping to facilitate continued power conversion system operation without significant adverse impact on system performance.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for testing a motor drive are disclosed. The techniques enhance motor drive testing by not using a dyne-unit, thereby reducing the initial installation costs, maintenance costs, and size of the setup. The setup may include a rectifier and an inverter configured to operate in an active-reactive power control mode during testing under a simulated load by generating the corresponding active (P) and reactive (Q) power (e.g., torque and flux, respectively). The active-reactive power control mode may receive a desired P and Q and determine one or more gate drive signals to provide to switches in the rectifier and/or the inverter based on the desired P and Q, where the gate drive signals are configured to operate the rectifier and/or the inverter under a simulated load. The gate drive signals may be transmitted to the rectifier and/or the inverter accordingly.

    Abstract: Methods, control apparatus and computer readable mediums are presented for controlling a switching inverter in which a controller selectively suspends PWM carrier signals to provide inverter switching control signals using zero vectors in response to a maximal pulse width value for a present PWM half cycle being greater than a threshold value, and accumulates a present output control value for individual output phases for use in a subsequent PWM half cycle for selective effective reduction in switching frequency for low-speed operation while maintaining high frequency control loop sampling.
