    摘要: In a power converter, modules are electrically interconnected by a busbar and joint members. Each joint member has a connecting portion formed on one side and a connecting portion formed on the other side, with respect to a bisector bisecting the width. The busbar has a connecting portion on one side with respect to a bisector bisecting the width. For a 200 V power supply specification, one end of each of two busbars is fixed to one joint member. For a 400 V power supply specification, one end of one busbar is fixed to one joint member.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a power converter circuit includes a resonant circuit coupled to an alternating current (AC) voltage source to convert a first AC voltage to a first AC current and an AC to direct current (AC/DC) converter coupled to the resonant circuit, where the AC/DC converter is to convert the AC current to a DC current. The power converter circuit further includes an inverter coupled to the AC/DC converter to convert the DC current to a second AC current, an AC filtering circuit coupled to an output of the inverter, and a load coupled to the output of the inverter to convert the second AC current to a second AC voltage.

    摘要: An electrical converter comprises at least one of an active rectifier and an inverter interconnecting an electrical source with an electrical load. A method for controlling an electrical converter comprises: receiving at least one estimated control variable, which is estimated from measurement values measured in the electrical converter; receiving at least one outer loop control variable provided by an outer control loop, the at least one outer loop control variable providing a desired steady-state operation point of the electrical converter; determining a control region based on a control error, which is a difference between the at least one estimated control variable and the at least one outer loop control variable, wherein the control region is defined by one or more intervals of one or more control variables; selecting control parameters based on the control region, wherein, when the control error is in an inner control region, first control parameters are selected, and, when the control error is outside the inner control region but inside an outer control region, second control parameters are selected; switching, based on the control error, between two and more control methods, which differ in control parameters, by predicting at least one reference control value based on a solution of a physical model of the electrical converter, which comprises the selected control parameters, the physical model being based on differential equations modelling the at least one estimated control variable and the solution being based on a constraint minimizing a difference between the at least one estimated control variable and the at least one outer loop control variable; and determining switching states of the electrical converter based on the reference control value.

    摘要: A converter system comprises two phase modules, each phase module comprising a first converter leg and a second converter leg interconnected with a DC link, and a charging transformer for charging the DC link. The DC link comprises two capacitors connected in series between a positive point, a middle point and a negative point, each converter leg adapted for interconnecting an output with the positive point, the middle point or the negative point of the DC link. The phase modules are connected in series via outputs of the converter legs, such that a second converter leg of a lower phase module is connected with a first converter leg of a higher phase module. The charging transformer is connected to the middle point of the DC link of a highest phase module, which provides a phase output of the converter system with an output of a second converter leg. The converter system includes two converter phases, each converter phase comprising at least two series connected phase modules. At a star point of the converter phases the converter phases are star-connected via outputs of first converter legs of lowest converter modules, which are series connected with higher converter modules, whereby a module side start point of the charging transformer is connected or is not connected with the star point of the converter phases.

    摘要: An AC power converter converts power from an AC power source to an AC load. A DC power holding source is coupled to an input half-bridge switch, a common half-bridge switch and an output half-bridge switch. A controller is coupled to the input half-bridge switch, the common half-bridge switch, and an output half-bridge switch to generate at least two control signals at a common switching frequency, wherein the controller generates the at least two control signals with a phase difference there between chosen to cause a ripple frequency in both the input low pass filter and the output low pass filter to be double the common switching frequency. An input low pass filter can eliminate switching frequency energy from entering the AC power source. An output low pass filter can eliminate switching frequency energy from entering the AC load.
