It is assumed here that the waveform f(t) does not contain a dc component. If a dc component is present, it will be considered as an offset, not distortion. Total Harmonic Distortion is the most commonly used index for evaluating the quality of voltage and current waveforms. THD limits are specified by standards or by design requirements.

For a periodic waveform f(t), the harmonic factor for the nth.-harmonic is defined as:
Fn HFn = F1
where F1 and Fn are the rms values of the fundamental and nth.-harmonic components of f(t). Note that f(t) can be a voltage v(t) or a current i(t). Note that satisfying the THD constraints is not enough and the relative magnitude of each individual harmonic component has to kept below limit as well.

Take fr 1 decade below the frequency of the dominant unwanted component to be filtered. This results in attenuation of the unwanted component by 100 times. Note that the amplitude is 1 (0db) below resonant frequency and falls at the rate of -40db/decade above resonant frequency. By taking fr 1 decade below the frequency of the unwanted component to be filtered, the magnitude of that component falls by 40db.

If the damping of the filter is low, the amplitude will assume a high value at and around fr. If there are any unwanted components (even of small magnitude) at frequencies around fr, they will be amplified, instead of attenuated. Stray resistances of filter inductor and capacitor help in increasing filter damping. If the damping needs to be further increased, a small resistor has to be placed in series with L and/or C. It is preferred to place the small damping resistor in series with the capacitor, as any additional resistance in series with L results in additional voltage drop and power loss.

Diode is a 2-terminal pn-junction device. Diode conducts when forward biased, i.e., when vAK >VF . VF 1-2 V and is called forward voltage drop. When reverse biased, diode conducts a very small leakage current in reverse direction. If the reverse bias voltage exceeds reverse breakdown voltage, the device breaks down and conducts dangerously high reverse currents. This situation has to be avoided. On and OFF states of diode are controlled by the power circuit, not a control signal.
Anode A Cathode K
Diode
Power Diodes
Diode Turn-Off
Diode is very fast at turn-on, acting as an ideal switch. At turn-off, diode current reverses after crossing zero and remains negative for a reverse recovery time trr before coming back to zero. During reverse recovery, the excess carries are swept out of the device. This allows diode to be able to block reverse voltages again. Reverse Recovery Charge Qrr represents the total amount of charge that has to be depleted for reverse recovery. If the recovery process is soft, the diode current falls to zero gradually and does not cause any overvoltage due to high di/dt. If the recovery is abrupt, there is a possibility of overvoltages in inductive circuits. trr is an important parameter when diodes are used with switches in switching converters. When switching at high speeds, the reverse recovery time should be small.

In many applications where the input power is provided by the utility grid in the form of a sinusoidal voltage at 50 or 60 Hz, a front-end diode rectifier converts the sinusoidal input voltage to a dc voltage before any other conversion takes place. In switching dc power supplies and ac motor drives, a front-end diode rectifier is usually an integral part of the system. Diode rectifiers convert ac voltage to uncontrolled dc voltage. Diode rectifiers are unidirectional or one-quadrant converters. The direction of power flow is always from ac source to dc load. As the output voltage of diode rectifier has large ripple contents, a large capacitor is normally used to obtain a smooth dc output voltage. Since the input current flows only when the capacitor is charging up, a discontinuous current results. This current is distorted and injects harmonics into the grid. Input current filtering is critical. Diode rectifier is a nonlinear load.

In the negative half-cycle of the source voltage, diode is in OFF state. The current and the resistor and inductor voltages are zero. The diode voltage is equal to source voltage. When source voltage becomes positive, diode becomes forward biased and conducts. As long as the diode conducts, the current in the circuit is given by the following equation:

As long as the voltage across the inductor (vL=vs-Ri) is positive (0-t1), di/dt will be positive and the current will rise. When vs=Ri at t1, vL=0, di/dt=0, and the current will be at its peak. When the inductor voltage (vL=vs-Ri) becomes negative (t1- t3), di/dt will become negative and the current will fall till it becomes zero at t3. After this point, i, vR and vL will be zero and the diode will be in OFF state and reverse biased, taking the entire source voltage, which is negative. Note that when the source voltage crosses zero at t2, the current is still flowing in the circuit. This is due to the energy stored in the inductor.

In the negative half-cycle of the source voltage, diode is in OFF state. The current and the inductor voltage are zero. The diode voltage is equal to vs-Ed. When source voltage becomes positive and exceeds Ed, diode becomes forward biased and conducts. As long as the voltage across the inductor (vL =vs-Ed) is positive, di/dt will be positive and the current will rise. When vs =Ed, vL =0, di/dt=0, and the current will be at its peak. When the inductor voltage (vL =vsEd) becomes negative, di/dt will become negative and the current will fall till it becomes zero. After this point, i and vL will be zero and diode will be in OFF state and reverse biased, taking the voltage vs-Ed, which is negative.

Note that when the source voltage is still in the positive half-cycle, the current has dropped to zero. This is due to the presence of the dc voltage source that reduces the current to zero earlier than the source voltages zero crossing. The inductor and the dc voltage source can represent a dc motor fed by the rectifier circuit and running at a constant speed.

Single-phase diode bridge rectifiers are very commonly used at the interface of power electronic systems such as dc power supplies and ac motor drives with the grid. The utility supply is modeled by its Thevenin equivalent in the form of a perfect sinusoidal voltage source in series with an R-L impedance. The series resistance and inductance represent the impedance of the lines connecting the source to the rectifier as well as the transformers used to adjust the level of the voltage. Note that due to the high X/R ratio in the power system, the line resistance is neglected and the line impedance is usually represented by an inductance only.

Feeding a purely resistive load from a diode rectifier is very unlikely. However, the source current waveforms obtained in this case resemble those obtained in the power-factor-corrected diode rectifiers. The top-group diodes (D1 and D3) have common cathodes. Therefore, the one connected to a higher voltage at the anode will conduct the load current. The bottom-group diodes (D2 and D4) have common anodes. Therefore, the one connected to a lower potential at the cathode will conduct the load current.

Assume the source voltage to be in the negative half-cycle and D3 and D4 to be conducting id. As soon as vs becomes positive, D1 becomes forward biased and places a negative voltage across D3. D3 becomes reverse biased and its current drops to zero. D3 is turned off or is commutated. The load current is transferred to D1. In the same way, D2 commutates D4. In the absence of a source inductance, the commutation of the out-going diodes and transfer of the load current to the in-coming diodes is instantaneous.

In a practical diode bridge rectifier, a large capacitor is connected across the dc-side terminals. As the time constant of the output R-C circuit is finite, the dc voltage will not be constant. Instead, the dc output voltage will contain ripple components. This practical circuit can be easily analyzed using circuit simulation programs. Here, PSIM, a simulation package developed for power electronic circuits and systems by PowerSim Inc., will be used to demonstrate the operation of the circuit through a few examples.

The universal power supplies are used in devices, such as personal computers, that may be used with the 115-V, 60-Hz system and/or the 230-V, 50-Hz system. The switch-over between the two systems is performed by a switch. Irrespective of the source voltage used, the average value of the dc output voltage has to be the same. In this way, the dc-to-dc converters fed by the diode rectifier need not be designed for a specific system. This saves time and money in manufacturing. If the rectifier is fed from a 115-V system, the switch is placed in the corresponding position. In the positive half-cycle, the path of the current will be through D1, C1, and the closed switch. In the negative half-cycle, the current will flow through the closed switch, C2, and D2. At open circuit, each capacitor will be charged 2Vs and the total open circuit dc output voltage will be 2 2Vs = 2 2 115 = 2 230V .

Effect of Single-Phase Diode Bridge Rectifiers on Three-Phase Four-Wire Systems Neutral Current Example 3

In the following 3-phase, 4-wire system, three single-phase diode bridge rectifiers similar to the one in Example 1 are connected between each phase and the neutral.
Draw the waveforms of ac-side currents of each rectifier. Draw the waveform of the neutral wire current. Find the peak values of the 3rd harmonic components in input current of each rectifier. Find the peak value of the 3rd harmonic component in the neutral wire. Explain.
Solution
The ac-side currents of the three phases contain fundamental component and 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, harmonics. The fundamental components and 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th, harmonics in the currents of the three phases cancel each other out at the neutral junction point. The reason for this is that these components for all three phases have the same magnitudes and are phase shifted by 120. The triplen harmonics (harmonics with orders of odd multiples of 3) of the three phases, have equal magnitudes and are in phase. Therefore, they do not cancel out at the neutral point. Instead, they add up and make a large neutral current, mainly composed of 3rd harmonic. The neutral current can be a va ia ib ic problem in office buildings where there are a large number of computer loads, each with a single-phase front-end diode in rectifier, connected between one phase and the neutral. Note that with the nonlinear loads, the neutral wire current is not fundamental a small current caused by 3rd harmonic unbalanced loads connected to 5th harmonic different phases. The problem 7th harmonic 9th harmonic is more serious in this case. A thicker neutral wire or efficient 3rd harmonic harmonic filtering is required.

Three-phase diode rectifiers can handle higher power levels and produce waveforms of higher quality and lower ripple contents. They are appropriate for industrial applications, where three-phase power is available and high power handling capability is a requirement. Practical three-phase full-bridge diode rectifiers feature source inductances on the ac-side and a large filter capacitor on the dc-side. First, the source inductances are neglected and the focus will be on the operation of the rectifier, sequence of conduction of diodes, and the waveforms produced on the ac- and dc-sides. The dc-side current is assumed to be constant. This is the case where a large inductance has been placed in series with the load.

The top-group diodes have common cathodes. Therefore, the diode connected at the anode to the highest voltage will conduct and will place the corresponding phase voltage between P and n terminals. The bottom-group diodes have common anodes. Therefore, the diode connected at the cathode to the lowest voltage will conduct and will place the corresponding phase voltage between N and n terminals. As a result, at any moment of time, vPn and vNn will follow one of the ac phase voltages. The dc terminal voltage vd = vPn vNn will then be equal to one of the phase-to-phase voltages.

The dc terminal voltage is a 6-pulse voltage (namely, it repeats itself six times per period of the ac source voltage) with low-ripple contents compared to the dc-side voltage of single-phase diode bridge rectifier. The dc terminal voltage is composed of selected pieces of the input line-to-line voltages. At any moment of time, a diode from the top group is conducting the load current with a diode from the bottom-group. Each diode in each group is conducting for 120, 60 with one diode of the opposite group and another 60 with another diode of the opposite group. The conducting diodes do not belong to the same legs.
When one diode from the top-group and one diode from the bottom-group are conducting, the load current flows in the corresponding phases. When a topgroup diode conducts, the current in the corresponding phase is equal to the dc-side current. When a diode in the bottom-group conduct, the corresponding phase current will be equal to minus the dc-side current. As a result, the source currents will have quasi square wave shapes composed of a positive pulse of width 120, a negative pulse of width 120, and a dead-time of width 60 between any two successive positive and negative pulses.
when D1 is conducting Id ia = I d when D4 is conducting 0 when neither diode is conducting The sequence of conduction of diodes is D1-D2-D3-D4-D5-D6-D1-. The diode D1 starts conducting at the zero-crossing of the line-to-line voltage vac.

The dc-side voltage is composed of selective segments of input lineto-line voltages pieced together. Every 60, a new diode starts conducting and a new line-to-line voltage will appear at the output. If the origin is shifted to the angle corresponding to the peak of vab, the output voltage for 60 around the origin can be expressed as: vd = vab = 2 VLL cos t < t <

Due to half-wave symmetry, there are no even harmonics in the source currents. Also, due to the 3-level waveshape of the source current, with 60dead time between the positive and negative pulses, there will not be any triplen harmonics. As the fundamental component of source currents are in phase with the corresponding phase voltages, DPF = 1.0 The power factor at the source can be found as:

AC source voltage is at its peak phase-to-neutral voltage is at peak ( 2Vs ) in single-phase line-to-line voltage is at peak ( 2Vll ) in three-phase As a result, due to the series L-C circuit, composed of the source inductance and filter capacitor, the terminal voltage can reach:

PSIM is a simulation software with a user-friendly graphical interface that has been developed by Powersim Inc. for simulation of power electronic circuits and systems. PSIM is based on ideal circuit components and is free of convergence problems. It is an ideal means for studying the performance of a power electronic system without getting lost in the unnecessary details, in the preliminary stage of design. An evaluation version of PSIM can be downloaded from the Powersim website (www.powersimtech.com). This version will be limited in the number of nodes and components, but will be capable enough for most of the circuits that will be simulated in this course. The software has numerous examples that can be used as a starting point. The manual can be downloaded from the website.

ON state of thyristor is controlled by a control signal, but its OFF state is controlled by the power circuit. When in OFF state, thyristor can block positive voltages below forward breakdown voltage and reverse voltages below reverse breakdown voltage. Thyristor can be turned on by applying a positive gate current pulse when the device is forward biased. To assume ON state, thyristor current must reach a certain level called latching current. To turn the thyristor off, its current has to brought below a certain level called holding current and a negative voltage has to be maintained across its terminals for longer than a specified period of time.

Thyristor Turn-off
The reverse recovery process of thyristors is the same as that of diodes. At turn-off, thyristor current reverses after crossing zero and remains negative for a reverse recovery time trr before coming back to zero. Application of a negative voltage across the thyristor following the zero crossing is essential for completing the turn-off process. An important specification of thyristors is the turn-off time tq, which is defined as the interval between the time at which current crosses zero and the time when a positive voltage can be safely re-applied across the thyristor without unwontedly turning the thyristor on.

Thyristors are made in a shape similar to hockey pucks. This has two advantages:
It allows for stacking SCRs when they are connected in series to provide high voltage withstand capabilities for high-voltage applications. It allows cooling from both sides.
The size of area of thyristors is related to their current carrying capability. The thickness of thyristors is related to their voltage withstand capability. The thicker a thyristor is, the slower it becomes.

Inductive Load
Prior to t=, thyristor is in OFF state. The current and the resistor and inductor voltages are zero. The thyristor voltage is equal to source voltage. When source voltage becomes positive, thyristor becomes forward biased and is turned on upon the application of a gate pulse at firing angle . The thyristor conducts as long as its current is above zero. When the thyristor conducts, the current in the circuit is given by the following equation:
Advanced Training Centre in Electrical Power Engineering Processing ECE 663:in Electrical Power Centre Energy Advanced Training Centre in Electric Power Engineering Advanced Training Electronic ConvertersEngineering Power Electronic Converters: Design and Applications Mehrdad Kazerani, 2007
vs = Ri + vL = Ri + L
di 1 t or i = (v Ri ) d dt L s
As long as the voltage across the inductor (vL=vs-Ri) is positive (-1), di/dt will be positive and the current will rise. When vs=Ri at 1, vL=0, di/dt=0, and the current will be at its peak. When the inductor voltage (vL=vs-Ri) becomes negative (1-2), di/dt will become negative and the current will fall till it becomes zero at 2, when area A1= area A2. After this point, i, vR and vL will be zero and the thyristor will be in OFF state and reverse biased, taking the entire source voltage, which is negative. The interval 2 -2 represents the time available for the application of a negative voltage across the thyristor after its currents becomes zero. Note that when the source voltage crosses zero at , the current is still flowing in the circuit. This is due to the energy stored in the inductor.
Active Load
Prior to t=, thyristor is in OFF state. The current and the inductor voltage are zero. The thyristor voltage is equal to vs-Ed. When source voltage becomes positive and exceeds Ed, thyristor becomes forward, but the thyristor does not turn on and start conducting till a gate pulse is applied to it at 2. As long as the voltage across the inductor (vL =vs-Ed) is positive, di/dt will be positive and the current will rise. When vs =Ed, vL =0, di/dt=0, and the current will be at its peak. When the inductor voltage (vL =vs-Ed) becomes negative, di/dt will become negative and the current will fall till it becomes zero, when area A1= area A2. After this point, i and vL will be zero and thyristor will be in OFF state and reverse biased, taking the voltage vs-Ed, which is negative. Note that when the source voltage crosses zero at , the current is still flowing in the circuit. This is due to the energy stored in the inductor. The inductor and the dc voltage source can represent the armature of a dc motor fed by the rectifier circuit and running at a constant speed.

The utility supply is modeled by its Thevenin equivalent in the form of a perfect sinusoidal voltage source in series with an R-L impedance. A series resistance and inductance represent the impedance of the lines connecting the source to the rectifier as well as the transformers used to adjust the level of the voltage. Note that due to the high X/R ratio in the power system, the line resistance is usually neglected and the line impedance is represented by an inductance only. A large inductor is used at the output, in series with the load, to make sure the dc output current has low ripple contents. In steady-state, a large inductor acts as a high impedance against the highfrequency ripple components of the output current. As the average voltage across the inductor in a repetitive current mode is zero, the dc component or the average value of vd will appear across the load and its harmonic components will be taken mostly by the inductor. The sharing of the harmonic components of vd between the inductor and the load will be based on their relative impedances at the harmonic frequencies. For a large filter inductor, it is fairly accurate to say that the voltage harmonics are taken by the inductor allowing the load to take the average value of the voltage, resulting in a constant current. Ls can cause problems in commutation of the out-going thyristors by the in-coming thyristors, as current cannot change instantaneously through an inductor.

The top-group thyristors (T1 and T3) have common cathodes. Therefore, the one connected to a higher voltage at the anode will be forward biased. The bottom-group thyristors (T2 and T4) have common anodes. Therefore, the one connected to a lower potential at the cathode will be forward biased. Assume that the source voltage is in the positive half-cycle and thyristors T3 and T4 are conducting id before t = . T1 and T2 are forward biased by the source voltage through the short circuits made by T3 and T4. As soon as T1 and T2 are triggered, they turn on and the load current is transferred instantaneously from T3 and T4 to T1 and T2. The short circuits introduced by T1 and T2 place negative voltages across T3 and T4. This assures positive voltage blocking and immunity against false triggering at the beginning of the next half-cycle when T3 and T4 become forward biased and experience a positive dv/dt. Thyristors T1 and T2 will remain ON and will continue conducting the load current as long as T3 and T4 have not been fired again at + . Every set of in-coming thyristors commutates the set of out-going thyristors upon getting triggered when forward biased. The output voltage will be composed of segments of input source voltage (when T1 and T2 are ON) and inverted (negated) input source voltage (when T3 and T4 are ON).

When the source inductance is not negligible, the commutation of the out-going thyristors by the in-coming thyristors is not instantaneous. Instead, there will be a period of time during which the out-going and in-coming thyristors share the load current. The reason for this phenomenon is that the current in the inductor cannot change instantaneously due to the stored energy in the inductor.

In a practical thyristor bridge converter, the load consists of a series combination of an inductor, a small resistor, and a dc voltage source. This kind of load can represent a dc motor driven by the converter at a controllable speed. This practical circuit can be easily analyzed using circuit simulation programs.

In the inverter mode of operation, the firing angle is between 90 and 180. Also, the average output voltage is negative. Inverter mode of operation is not sustainable, unless there is a dc voltage source of inverted polarity on the dc-side. Otherwise, the dcside current falls to zero upon loss of stored energy in the dc-side inductor.

In inverter mode of operation, due to delayed triggering of thyristors, the period of time available for the application of a negative voltage across the out-going valve after its currents falls to zero, is limited. The extinction angle that corresponds to the time available for the application of a negative voltage across the out-going valve is:
= ( + u )
In order to avoid commutation failure, i.e., false triggering of the out-going valve upon application of a positive dv/dt at the positive zero-crossing of the source voltage, the time available for the application of negative voltage across the out-going valve has to be larger than the turn-off time (tq) of the thyristor, i.e.,
> tq or > tq

If the dc-side inductance is not large enough or if the average dc-side current is small due to a large firing angle, the dc-side current may become discontinuous. During the time interval where the dc-side current is zero, the voltage drops across the dc-side inductor and resistor are zero. Therefore, vd = Ed. At start-up, thyristor converters are normally operated at large firing angles (soft start) so that the dc-side current becomes discontinuous and the inrush current is limited. When the start-up transients are over, the firing angle is modified to realize the desired dc-side average current and output power.

Introduction-1
Compared with single-phase thyristor converters, threephase thyristor converters can handle higher power levels and produce waveforms of higher quality and lower ripple contents. They are used for very high power industrial applications such as high-voltage dc transmission (HVDC) systems, very large dc and ac motor drives, and cycloconverters.

Introduction-2
Practical three-phase full-bridge thyristor converters feature source inductances on the ac-side and a series combination of an inductor, a resistor and a dc voltage source on the dc-side. First, the source inductance is neglected and the dc-side current is assumed to be constant. This is the case where a large inductance has been placed in series with the load. The focus will be on the operation of the converter, sequence of conduction of thyristors, and the waveforms produced on the ac- and dc-sides. Then, the effect of source inductance on the operation of the converter will be discussed.

Any thyristor in the top group, when forward biased and triggered, will turn on. Then, the load current will be transferred instantaneously from the out-going thyristor in the top-group to this thyristor. This thyristor will conduct the load current, commutate the out-going thyristor in the top-group and will place the corresponding phase voltage between P and n terminals.
Advanced Training Centre in Electrical Power Engineering Processing ECE 663:in Electrical Power Centre Energy Advanced Training Centre in Electric Power Engineering Advanced Training Electronic ConvertersEngineering Power Electronic Converters: Design and Applications Mehrdad Kazerani, 2007
Any bottom-group thyristor, when forward biased and triggered, will turn on. Then, the load current will be transferred instantaneously from the out-going thyristor in the bottom-group to this thyristor. This thyristor will conduct the load current, commutate the outgoing thyristor in the bottom-group and will place the corresponding phase voltage between N and n terminals. As a result, at any moment of time, vPn and vNn will follow one of the ac phase voltages. The dc terminal voltage will then be equal to:
vd = vPn vNn
and will follow one of the ac line-to-line voltages at any moment of time.

The dc-side voltage is a 6-pulse voltage (namely, it repeats itself six times per period of the ac source voltage) with low-ripple contents compared to the dc-side voltage of single-phase thyristor bridge converter. The dc-terminal voltage is composed of selected pieces of the input line-to-line voltages. At any moment of time, a thyristor from the top-group is conducting the load current with a thyristor from the bottom-group. Each thyristor in each group is conducting for 120, 60 with one thyristor of the opposite group and another 60 with another thyristor of the opposite group. The conducting thyristors do not belong to the same converter leg.

Case 2: 0 The earliest moment at which thyristor 1 can be turned on is when it becomes forward biased. This corresponds to the time at which the voltage placed by the out-going valve in the top-group, i.e., thyristor 5, on the cathode of thyristor 1, i.e., vc becomes smaller than va which is connected to the anode of thyristor 1. Therefore, the positive zero-crossing of vac marks the earliest time thyrisor 1 can be turned on. This point corresponds to =0 and is taken as the reference point for the firing angle of thyristor 1. After thyristor 1 is fired, every 60, a new valve will be fired with the same sequence as in the 3-phase diode rectifier.

The conducting thyristors from the top- and bottom-groups place the corresponding phase voltages on the dc-side positive and negative rails. As a result, the dc-side voltage will be a 6-pulse voltage composed of selected pieces of the input line-to-line voltages.

When one thyristor from the top-group and one thyristor from the bottomgroup are conducting, the load current flows in the corresponding phases. When a top-group thyristor conducts, the current in the corresponding phase is equal to the dc-side current. When a thyristor in the bottom-group conducts, the corresponding phase current will be equal to minus the dcside current. As a result, the source currents will have quasi square wave shapes composed of a positive pulse of width 120, a negative pulse of width 120, and a dead-time of width 60 between any two successive positive and negative pulses, corresponding to the period of time when neither of the switches in the corresponding leg is conducting.

P = Vd I d = 1.35VLL I d cos
The direction of average power is controllable by the firing angle . The magnitude of average power is continuously controllable by the firing angle . The average power is positive for 0 < < 90 . This implies that the converter is operating in the rectifier mode (1st-quadrant operation) for 0 < < 90 . The average power is negative for 90 < < 180. This implies that the converter is operating in the inverter mode (2nd- quadrant operation) for 90 < < 180.

The effect of source inductance will be that the commutation of the top- and bottom-group thyristors, or the transfer of current from an out-going thyristor to an in-coming thyristor in either group, will not be instantaneous. Instead, there will be a period of shared current conduction between the out-going and in-coming thyristors.

In inverter mode of operation, there is a risk of commutation failure, i.e., false triggering of a valve that is supposed to be OFF, upon application of a positive dv/dt at the positive zero-crossing of the voltage across the thyristor. This is due to lack of enough time for the application of a negative voltage across the out-going thyristor after its current falls to zero.

A controllable switch is a semiconductor switch that can be turned on and off at the command of a control signal. When forward biased, the switch can be turned on by applying a positive voltage or current at the control terminal (gate or base). When ON, the switch can be turned off by applying a negative voltage or current at the control terminal (gate or base). There is a delay between the time of application of on and off control signals and initiation of turn-on and turn-off processes.

It takes certain amount of time for rise of current and fall of voltage at turn-on as well as for rise of voltage and fall of current at turn-off. In OFF state, the switch acts as a very large resistance, in the order of M, called OFF-state resistance. This resistance gradually falls to a very small value, in the order of m, called ON-state resistance, at turn-on as the conduction area expands. In ON state, the switch conducts current in one direction only. In OFF state, the switch blocks only positive voltages or both positive and negative voltages, depending on the switch type.
Lets consider a controllable switch in a typical situation in a power electronic converter. Vd is the dc source voltage and Io represents the inductive load current. A practical example for the typical situation of a controllable switch in a converter is the DC/DC buck converter. When the switch in ON, the dc voltage source supplies power to the load through the switch. When the switch is OFF, the diode freewheels the load current, as the inductive load current cannot be interrupted. Note that the interruption of an inductive current can cause dangerously high Ldi/dt voltages, unless an alternate path for the flow of current is provided to avoid this situation.

Assume the switch is in OFF state. The load current is circulating through the freewheeling diode. As the ideal diode represents a short circuit in ON state, vT=Vd. As the switch is OFF, iT=0.

implies that switching high voltages and currents at high speeds results in considerable amount of switching losses. The current semiconductor technology allows for switching high powers at low frequency (e.g., GTO for utility applications) and switching low powers at high frequency (e.g., MOSFET for low-voltage power supplies). Switching medium powers at medium switching frequency (e.g., IGBT for medium power ac motor drives) is also feasible. The relation for conduction losses, i.e., W t Pon = on = Von I o on = Von I o d Ts Ts implies that switches with low ON-state voltage drops are desirable at high currents in order to reduce conduction losses.

When forward biased, BJT can be turned on by injecting a positive current of specified value into the base. The base current has to be maintained for as long as the switch is to be ON. When ON, the switch can be turned off by withdrawing a current of specified value from the base. The base current has to be maintained for as long as the switch is to be OFF. BJT is a Current Controlled Switch. This implies large power consumption in the base drive circuit.
BJT is not capable of withstanding reverse voltages. BJT is a Negative Temperature Coefficient device. In other words, as the device temperature rises, its ON-state resistance Ron drops. Typical BJT ratings are 1400V, a few 100 A, and Von=1-2 V. Typical current gain is hfe=5-10.
As the current gain of power bipolar junction transistors is low (hfe=5-10), BJTs are normally used in Darlington configurations. In Darlington pair, two BJTs are connected in cascade 2 resulting in a current gain of h fe . In Triple Darlington, three BJTs are connected in cascade resulting in a current gain of h 3 . fe
When forward biased, MOSFET can be turned on by applying a positive voltage of specified value between gate and source. The gate voltage has to be maintained for as long as the switch is to be ON. When ON, the switch can be turned off by applying a negative voltage of specified value between gate and source. The gate voltage has to be maintained for as long as the switch is to be OFF. Note that only at turn-on and turn-off, a current pulse will be input to or withdrawn from the gate. The gate current during ON and OFF states is practically equal to zero. MOSFET is a Voltage Controlled Switch. This implies very small power consumption in the gate drive circuit.
MOSFET is not capable of withstanding reverse voltages. MOSFET is a Positive Temperature Coefficient device. In other words, as the device temperature rises, its ON-state resistance Ron rises as well. Typical MOSFET ratings are from 100 A and small voltage to 1000 V and small current. Switching frequency of MOSFETs can reach as high as 100 kHz.
When forward biased, GTO can be turned on by injecting a positive current pulse of specified amplitude into the gate. When ON, the switch can be turned off by withdrawing a current pulse of specified magnitude from the gate. GTO is a Current Controlled Switch. A high negative gate current pulse of up to 1/3 of the anode current is required to turn off the GTO. This implies large power consumption in the gate drive circuit. GTO is capable of withstanding reverse voltages. Typical GTO ratings are 6 kV, 6 kA, 500 Hz, and Von = 2-3 V. Depending on the power rating, fs =100 Hz-10KHz.

Controllable switches with Positive Temperature Coefficient guarantee even distribution of current among parallel switches. If a switch draws more current than switches in other parallel branches, its temperature will rise more. This increases the ON-state resistance of that switch above those of switches in other parallel branches. As a result, less current will be drawn by that branch and the current will be shared by all parallel branches almost equally. Controllable switches with Negative Temperature Coefficient are not appropriate for parallel connection. If a switch draws more current than switches in other parallel branches, its temperature will rise more. This decreases the ON-state resistance of that switch above those of switches in other parallel branches. As a result, more current will be drawn by that branch, resulting in higher temperature, lower Ron, and higher current. This degenerative process can lead to the destruction of the device. The objective of parallel connection of switches is to increase current carrying capability. In practice, external resistive and inductive elements are used to make sure the current is divided almost equally among parallel switches. However, switches with positive temperature coefficient make the task of paralleling much easier.

Introduction
Switch-mode dc-to-dc converters are commonly used in regulated dc power supplies (e.g., power supplies for personal computers and communication systems) and dc motor drives. Switch-mode dc-to-dc converters have replaced linear dc voltage regulators in many applications. Linear DC Voltage Regulators:
Vin>Vout. No possibility of boosting the input voltage. Vin- Vout is placed across the regulator and load current passes through the regulator. A lossy scheme. The conduction losses depend on the difference between the input and output voltages and the load current. Fixed or off-line adjustable output voltage. Used in low-power electronic circuits.

Vout < Vin or Vout > Vin. Much less lossy than linear dc voltage regulators resulting in considerably higher efficiency. Can be used at much higher power levels. On-line adjustable output voltage. Operating at high frequencies results in reduced size of energy storage elements (L & C) and magnetic components (transformers). Impedance of inductor is ZL=2 f L. As the frequency of operation is
increased, a smaller inductance is required to realize the same impedance and therefore, the same filtering effect. Impedance of capacitor is ZC =1/(2 f C). As the frequency of operation is increased, a smaller capacitance is required to realize the same impedance and therefore, the same filtering effect.

Assumptions
Steady-state operation Ideal controllable switches Lossless inductive and capacitive elements DC input voltage is ideal (no internal impedance, no ripple). Practically, diode rectifiers are used to produce input dc voltage and a large capacitor is used to lower the source internal impedance and voltage ripples. The load for switch-mode dc power supplies is represented by an equivalent resistance. The load for dc motor drives is represented by the series combination of armature R-L impedance and a dc voltage source (back emf).

In dc-to-dc converters, the objective is to control the average value of the output voltage using an electronic signal. The average output voltage can be controlled by varying the switching frequency and switch on-period or by varying the switch on-period at a constant switching frequency. In both cases,
Vd ton 1 Ts Vo = vo dt = Ts 0 Ts
[1]
The variable switching frequency method of control of dc-to-dc converters (known as hysteresis technique) results in harmonics spread over the whole range of frequency spectrum, making output voltage filtering difficult, as the corner frequency of the filter cannot be located conveniently. The fixed switching frequency method results in a clean frequency spectrum making filtering easy. The fixed switching frequency method is called pulse width modulation (PWM). In PWM, the information about the desired average value of the output voltage is embedded in the width of the ON and OFF pulses applied to the switch. This information will be embedded in the width of the output voltage pulses, resulting in the desired average output voltage.
[1]
In PWM,

First, the error between the desired and actual values of the average output voltage is produced. Then, the error is amplified in a controller (such as PI controller, which is designed based on the given transient and steady-state specifications). The amplified error is the control signal to be compared with a repetitive carrier signal (such as a sawtooth or triangular waveform). The moments of intersection of the control signal with the carrier signal are used to produce the switch control signal that when applied to the switch will result in the desired average output voltage.

Design a closed-loop control circuit for the buck converter circuit shown in Fig. 2 to regulate the inductor current at 5 A. Use hysteresis technique with a hysteresis band of 0.2 A. Simulate the circuit using PSIM and show the inductor current, switch signal and output voltage waveforms. Note: In Hysteresis technique, a tolerance band is defined around the reference signal for the quantity to be controlled. Then, the switch is turned on whenever the controlled quantity hits the lower limit, and turned off whenever the controlled quantity hits the upper limit. In this way, the controlled quantity is forced to remain within the tolerance or hysteresis band. Since no restriction is placed on the frequency of switching, it changes freely during the operation. This method is simple and elegant, but results in harmonics spread over the whole range of frequency spectrum, making the filtering task difficult.

Theoretically, the output/input voltage ratio goes to infinity as the duty cycle of the boost switch approaches 1. However, in real life, due to the presence of parasitic or stray resistances, inductances and capacitances, the voltage ratio will fall to zero at some point. The practical operating range of boost converter is limited well below this point.

Design a power factor correction circuit based on boost converter for a single-phase front-end diode rectifier. Simulate the circuit using PSIM and show the waveform of input current. Note: In front-end diode rectifiers with a large capacitor on the dc side, input current is far from sinusoidal. A pre-regulator circuit based on boost converter can be used to waveshape the input current as a sinusoidal. This is done by waveshaping the dc-side current to be a full-wave rectified sinusoidal. In a complete system, an output voltage closed-loop circuit is used to derive the multiplier for the absolute value of the source voltage to make the reference signal for the dc-side current.

In buck-boost converter, the average output voltage can be made larger or smaller than the input voltage by proper choice of switch duty ratio. When the switch is ON (topological mode I), the voltage across the inductor is Vd which is positive. The inductor current will rise and energy is stored in the inductor. The diode is reverse biased during switch ON-state.
Buck-Boost Converter
Buck-Boost Converter
When the switch is OFF (topological mode II), the inductor current is momentarily interrupted. The Ldi/dt voltage generated will overcome the output voltage and forward bias the diode. The voltage across the inductor -Vo is negative. The inductor current will fall and part or all of the energy stored in the inductor is transferred to the output circuit.

Note that in switch ON-state, source is disconnected from the load and energy is stored in the inductor. In switch OFF-state, the energy stored in the inductor is pumped to the output circuit. The source remains disconnected from the output circuit. The polarity of output voltage is opposite to that of the input voltage.

If only Vo < Vd is desired, Buck converter is used. If only Vo > Vd is desired, Boost converter is used. If both Vo < Vd and Vo > Vd are desired, Buck-Boost or Ck converter is used. If four-quadrant operation is desired (e.g., in dc motor drives with regenerative braking capability), full-bridge converter is used. In bipolar voltage switching, the frequency of the output voltage is the same as the switching frequency. In unipolar voltage switching, the frequency of the output voltage is twice the switching frequency. This results in a lower load current ripple. The output voltage ripple in Buck and Ck converters is lower thanks to the second-order filter at the output. The output voltage ripple in Boost and Buck-Boost converters is higher due to the fact that the output filter is of order 1. If electric isolation between the input and output or among different outputs (in multi-output converters) is desired, isolated dc-to-dc converters are used. The isolation is provided by special transformers.

The objective of switch-mode inverters is to convert a regulated or unregulated dc voltage to a single-phase or three-phase square-wave or sinusoidal voltage of controllable magnitude, frequency and phase angle. Inverters find applications in variable-speed ac motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies, FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) controllers, and interfacing the alternative energy generating systems (based on wind energy, solar energy, fuel cells and microturbines) with the grid or loads. Inverters are composed of controllable switches. The immediate output of inverters is a pulsed voltage or current. The objective of the controller will be to control the fundamental component of the output voltage or current. Passive low-pass filters are used at the input and output terminals to eliminate harmonics and improve waveform quality. There are also techniques to prevent harmonic generation in the first place or eliminate selected harmonic components. The desired features of an inverter are high fidelity, high output waveform quality and bidirectional power flow. The inverters used in ac motor drives are expected to be capable of motoring in both directions as well as regenerative braking in both directions.

Introduction (Cont.)
In ac motor drives, the dc voltage to be converted to controllable ac voltage is produced by a diode rectifier or a switch-mode converter. Scheme 1: A diode rectifier is used to convert the ac voltage available from the ac source to a dc voltage. In this case, motoring in both directions is possible, but regenerative braking is impossible due to unidirectional power flow characteristic of diode rectifiers. The energy recovered during braking is dissipated in a resistor switched in parallel with dc-bus capacitor. This method of braking is called dynamic braking.

Introduction (Cont.)
Scheme 2: A switch-mode converter is used to produce the dc voltage. In this case, motoring in both directions as well as regenerative braking in both directions will be possible due to bidirectional power flow characteristic of the switch-mode converter. In this scheme, depending on the direction of power flow, one switch-mode converter will be acting as rectifier and the other switch-mode converter as an inverter.

Switch-mode converters are named based on the type of the dc quantity (or dc term) on their dc-sides. Voltage-Source (or Voltage-Sourced) Converter: In this type of switch-mode dc-to-ac converter, the dc term is a dc voltage. Voltage-sourced converter is the most commonly used type of dcto-ac converter.

Half-Bridge Inverter
Half-bridge inverter is composed of two identical capacitors connected in series across the dc terminals (to form a center-tapped dc voltage source) and one converter leg with two switches and two anti-parallel diodes. The output terminals are formed by the middle of the converter leg and the middle of the capacitor leg. The two switches receive complementary switching signals to avoid short circuiting of the dc voltage source. Furthermore, due to the finite time that it takes for a switch to turn on and turn off, turn-on signal of the in-coming switch is delayed behind the turn-off signal of the out-going switch to make sure the ON-periods of the two switches do not overlap. V When TA+ is ON and TA- is OFF, v Ao = d

Based on the comparison of vcontrol and vtri, the switch control signals will be derived and the output voltage waveform will be generated, independent of the load current io. The output voltage waveform indicates that because of PWM switching, the local average of vAo will be a sinusoidal waveform proportional to vcontrol.
comparison of vcontrol and vtri Half-bridge inverter [1] vAo and its fundamental component [1]
10Sep10 14
Due to the linearity of PWM process, the ratio of the peak value of the fundamental component of the output voltage to the input voltage Vd / 2, is equal to the modulation index. Since frequency modulation ratio has been chosen to be an odd number, the resulting output voltage waveform has half-wave symmetry and, as a result, does not contain even harmonics.

The output voltage harmonics appear as sidebands around the switching frequency and its multiples. The harmonics occur at:

In PWM dc-to-dc converter, the relationship between the input control signal and average output voltage was found to be linear. For halfbridge dc-to-dc converter,
VAo = vcontrol
In PWM half-bridge inverter, if fs >> f1, vcontrol can be assumed to be constant over one switching period. Then, the local average (i.e., average per switching period) of vAo will be proportional to vcontrol in that switching period. As vcontrol varies from one switching period to the next, so does the local average of vAo, maintaining a linear relationship.

For small mf (mf 21), vcontrol and vtri should be synchronized (synchronized PWM). This implies an integer mf . If this condition is not met, subharmonics of f1 (i.e., harmonics at frequencies smaller than f1 ) will appear in the output voltage waveform. Sub-harmonics are hard to filter and undesirable in most of applications. Note that to maintain an integer mf , fs should vary according to f1. mf should be an odd integer for the output voltage waveform to have half-wave symmetry. Particularly at very low mf values, slopes of vcontrol and vtri should be opposite in sign at coincidental zero crossings. For large mf (mf >21), asynchronous PWM may be used since, in this case, magnitudes of sub-harmonics are small. This implies that fs can be maintained constant as f1 varies.
10Sep10
18
For ma< 1, the peak value of vAo varies linearly with ma, independent of mf (for mf >9). For ma> 1, the linearity is lost and the peak value of vAo will depend on mf . In this case, the output voltage will contain many more harmonics in the sidebands compared with the case of ma< 1, in which harmonics are pushed away from f1 to fs and its multiples as sidebands. Over-modulation is used to increase the amplitude of vAo beyond what can be obtained for ma= 1. For sufficiently large ma values, the output voltage waveform of the inverter degenerates from pulse-width modulated to square-wave.

In square-wave switching scheme, each of TA+ and TA- is ON for half a cycle of the desired output frequency (f1). From Fourier analysis,
[1]
(h : odd )
The square-wave switching is a special case of sinusoidal PWM switching with ma so large that vcontrol intersects with vtri only at two points per period of vcontrol. The main advantage of square-wave switching is low switching frequency. This makes square-wave switching method appropriate for high-power applications, where high switching frequency is not practical. The disadvantages of square-wave switching are inability to control the magnitude of the fundamental component of the output voltage and presence of low-order harmonics in the output voltage.

This is the same topology that was used in full-bridge dc-to-dc converter. Full-bridge inverter is composed of two converter legs each having two switches and two anti-parallel diodes. The output terminals are formed by the middle of the converter legs and there is no need for the centre-tapped dc voltage source arrangement that was necessary in half-bridge converter, unless a neutral point is required. The two switches in each leg receive complementary switching signals to avoid short circuiting of the dc voltage source. Furthermore, due to the finite time that it takes for a switch to turn on and turn off, turn-on signal of the in-coming switch is delayed behind the turn-off signal of the out-going switch to make sure the ONperiods of the two switches in the same leg do not overlap.

The common rule of comparison and the resulting output voltages are as follows: If the control signal is larger than the carrier signal, TA+ and TB- are turned on and TB+ and TA- are turned off. This results in vAN = Vd and vBN =0. If the control signal is smaller than the carrier signal, TA+ and TB- are turned off and TB+ and TA- are turned on. This results in vAN =0 and vBN = Vd. The output voltage is: vo = vAB = vAN - vBN . This voltage is equal to Vd or -Vd depending on the positions of switches. The term bipolar has been assigned to this method since the output voltage has two possible polarities.

The first switching harmonic is at fs = mf f1 , where mf = 15, i.e., an odd number. The harmonics at 2mf f1 , 4mf f1 , and generally even multiples of mf f1 do not exist. This is due to the fact that mf is odd and the output voltage waveform has half-wave symmetry, and therefore, does not contain even harmonics. The frequency of the sidebands around switching harmonics follow the rule:
PWM with Bipolar Voltage Switching (Cont.) Output Voltage Frequency Spectrum
f h = j f s k f1
When j is odd, k is even and vice versa. The large distance between f1 and fs is a great advantage for PWM switching, as it makes filtering of the unwanted components very easy.

In applications such as ac motor servo drives, where the motor current supplied by the voltage-sourced inverter is controlled, a current-mode control technique can be used. Also, in the interface of switch-mode rectifiers with the utility, where power factor correction is desirable, and in shunt active power filters, where the injected current has to be controlled, current-mode control is used. There are two main techniques used for current-mode control.
Tolerance-Band Control (also called Hysteresis or Bang-Bang Control) Fixed-Switching Frequency Control
10Sep10
36
In this method, current is controlled by keeping it within a tolerance band around the reference. Whenever the current hits the lower limit while falling, a positive voltage is switched across the output inductance (e.g., motor inductance) to increase the current. Whenever the current hits the upper limit while rising, a negative voltage is switched across the output inductance to decrease the current. The width of the window within which the current is allowed to stay determines the current ripple.

Three-Phase Inverters
Three-phase inverter is composed of three converter legs each having two switches and two anti-parallel diodes. The output terminals are formed by the middle of the converter legs. There is no need for the centre-tapped dc voltage source arrangement that was necessary in halfbridge converter, unless a neutral point is required. The two switches in each leg receive complementary switching signals to avoid short circuiting the dc voltage source. Furthermore, due to the finite time that it takes for a switch to turn on and turn off, turn-on signal of the in-coming switch is delayed with respect to the turn-off signal of the out-going switch to make sure the ON-periods of the two switches in the same leg do not overlap.

If Vd is controllable, the threephase inverter can be operated in a square-wave mode. In square-wave operation, each switch is operated at the duty ratio of 50%. As a result, at any moment of time, three switches are ON (two from the top-group and one from the bottom-group or one from the top-group and two from the bottom-group.

In applications such as ac motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies, FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) controllers, active power filters and active power line conditioners, a source of sinusoidal voltage with controllable magnitude, frequency and phase angle is required. A PWM voltage-sourced converter under PWM switching can realize a linear power amplifier with a regulated dc voltage as the source of power, a low-power control signal (modulating signal) as the input, and a voltage, whose fundamental component is a high-power duplicate of the control signal, as the output. Using SPWM, the controllable source of sinusoidal voltage that is required in a lot of power applications can be realized. In this part, some applications of PWM voltage-sourced converters are described.

This method of speed control is simple and inexpensive. However, the following disadvantages are associated with this approach:
The controlled speed is always smaller than the speed without Radj.; The method is not able to change the no-load speed of the motor; There is an additional I2R loss associated with Radj.; and Speed regulation is deteriorated and the almost-constant-speed characteristic of shunt DC motor is lost.
Using a resistor in series with the armature winding to control motor speed can be justified if the heat produced due to I2R loss is utilized in one way or another and the resistance is used for short periods of time, i.e., the motor is operated at full-speed most of the time.

As the armature voltage is reduced, the no-load speed nNL will be reduced, but the speed drop term n remains unchanged. This will shift the whole characteristic curve down by the change in nNL.
As armature voltage is decreased, an operating point will be reached where the motor speed is equal to zero. The armature voltage required for electric holding at a given developed torque or armature current can be found by putting the speed equal to zero in the speed-torque relation.

The maximum voltage and current ratings of field winding should not be exceeded. Extra I2R losses occur due to the presence of Radj.. Very low field flux values can lead to severe overspeeds. Reducing field flux at a given developed torque can result in high armature currents according to I a = d K . Field loss, i.e., interruption of field current, can result in very low field flux (due to residual magnetism) and a very high armature current and developed torque and thus, dangerously high motor speeds.
To protect the motor against overcurrent, an overcurrent relay is used with DC motors to stop the motor in case of high armature currents. A field loss relay is also used to protect against loss of field.

When controlling the speed of shunt and separately-excited DC motors, usually a power electronic converter is used to adjust the armature voltage. Sometimes, a power electronic converter is used to control the field current and thus, field flux for motor speed control. Using a power electronic converter makes the choice of motor independent of the source available. The converter takes care of matching the characteristics of the source with the requirements of the motor. In this section, speed control based on armature voltage adjustment using a power electronic converter with an AC and a DC source is analyzed and simulated. Since the mechanical time constants associated with the motor and load are much longer than the electrical time constants of the motor and converter, most of the time, thyristor converters will do a good job. However, for the sake of completeness, a drive based on a switchmode converter will also be introduced.

Note: As the motor load gets heavier, the armature current tends to become continuous. In continuous current mode, each switch conducts for 180, i.e., = + 180. From calculations, at L = 40 N.m, armature current becomes 43.65 A, speed 568.43 rpm and developed power 2.38 kW. A continuous armature current has lower ripple content, resulting in a more steady torque.

When the switch is turned on, va = Vt. In this case, a current ia will flow from the source to the armature circuit. When the switch is turned off, the current is interrupted. The armature inductance resists the fast change in the current by developing a voltage La dia /dt which will forward bias the diode. The diode turns on and the armature current freewheels through the diode. When the diode is on, va = 0. If the turning on and off of the switch occurs periodically, at a frequency fs, the waveform of the voltage va will be as shown below.

Even though the voltage applied to the armature is pulsed, the armature current will be a relatively smooth DC current due to the filtering effect of the armature inductance. This is specially true if the frequency of switching (i.e., the rate at which the switch is turned ON and OFF) is high. Note that the rotor of the motor does not respond to the instantaneous value of the armature current due to its high inertia. Therefore, motor speed and back emf, which is proportional to speed, do not have fast variations and are smooth functions of time. As a result, the developed torque of the motor will also be smooth. Due to armature inductance and inertia of the rotor of DC machine, in steady-state, only the average value of va will be effective in motor speed control.

Braking in electric motor drive terminology refers to operations involving reducing the speed of the motor, stopping the motor and holding a specific shaft position. Braking can be done mechanically or electrically. Electrical braking is superior to mechanical braking from the efficiency and maintenance requirements points of view. During normal operation of an electric motor, power flows from the electrical power source to the mechanical load. During braking, the direction of power flow can be changed. In this case, the mechanical load will act as the source of mechanical power, the motor will act as a generator, and the kinetic energy stored in the rotating parts will be returned in the from of electric energy to the electrical source. Braking is an important capability of a high-performance drive system. Drive systems should be designed to handle the electrical and mechanical stresses resulting from electrical braking. Electric braking methods can be divided into three different categories:
Regenerative Braking, Dynamic Braking, and Countercurrent Braking.

When the direction of load torque is reversed, causing the machine to run at a speed higher than its no-load speed, but in the same direction as before, the motor is said to be in regenerative braking. In the first quadrant, the electric machine is operating as a motor. Power flows from electrical source to load. The motor develops a torque in the direction of rotation of motor. As an example, consider an electric vehicle traveling uphill. When the load torque changes direction with the motor running in the same direction as before, the speed exceeds no-load speed and the operation will move to the second quadrant. The electric machine will operate as a generator, developing a torque opposite in direction to the load toque, and the power flows form the load to the electrical source. As an example, consider an electric vehicle traveling downhill. Note: For regenerative braking to happen, load torque must be bidirectional. Power Flow Regenerative Braking

When the electrical source is disconnected from the motor and a resistor is switched in at the electrical terminals of the motor, while field flux is maintained, the motor will act as a generator and the kinetic energy stored in the moving parts will be converted to electrical power and dissipated in the resistor. Under these conditions, the motor is said to be in dynamic braking. During dynamic braking, machine acts as a generator. The direction of rotation does not change, but the directions of torques of load and machine change. The change in the direction of torque is reflected in the change of direction of current in braking mode, iB, with respect to that in motoring mode, iM. The rate at which the stored kinetic energy is dissipated depends on the value of braking resistance RB. The smaller RB is, the faster the stored energy will be dissipated. Power Flow Power Flow

Countercurrent braking is based on an attempt to reverse the direction of rotation of the motor. It can be used to reduce motor speed, reverse direction of rotation or stop the motor. Reversing the direction of rotation is performed by changing the direction of field flux or polarity of armature voltage in dc motors. In the course of changing the direction of rotation, motor decelerates first. During deceleration, motor will operate in the second quadrant, as a generator, as torque is reversed, but direction of rotation is unchanged. If no other action is taken, motor passes through zero speed and accelerates in the opposite direction and ends up operating in the third quadrant as a motor. If at zero speed, the power source is disconnected from the machine, the motor stops under countercurrent braking.

Braking of DC Motors
One should be careful in performing braking operation on DC motor, as well as other types of motors, as braking operation is associated with high transient currents as well as high mechanical stresses. The motor control should avoid transients beyond machine capability and electrical and mechanical design of the machine, as well as its mechanical support system, should be able to withstand transients within reasonable range. In this part, the application of different braking techniques, i.e., regenerative braking, dynamic braking and countercurrent braking, to shunt and separately-excited DC motors are explained.

During dynamic braking, the source is disconnected from the armature and the kinetic energy stored in the rotating parts is dissipated in the form of heat in a resistive load. When all the kinetic energy is dissipated, motor stops. Note that even though the armature circuit is disconnected from the source, the field has to be maintained for the dynamic braking to be executed. The main equations of shunt DC motor are:

one can see that the smaller the braking resistance is, and the stronger the field flux is, the more the power dissipated and the shorter the braking period will be. The motoring operation is in the first quadrant, whereas the dynamic braking is in the second quadrant. Since for a constant field flux, developed torque is proportional to armature current, a speed-current characteristic is used to combine the characteristics in the motoring and dynamic braking modes of operation.

During motoring, the speed-current characteristic is a straight line in the first quadrant. Assume motor is operating at point 1. During dynamic braking, for a given braking resistance, the speedcurrent characteristic is a straight line going through the origin at a negative slope determined by the value of the braking resistance. The smaller the braking resistance is, the larger the braking current will be (more electrical stress!), and the faster the stored kinetic energy will be dissipated, and the faster the braking operation will be. If the act of disconnecting the armature from the source and connecting it to the braking resistance is performed quickly, the motor assumes one of the operating points 2, 3, or 4 in the second quadrant, without any change in the speed of the motor.

When the operating point moves horizontally to the second quadrant, the operating point will continue moving according to the loading condition of the motor. If the load torque is frictional, the operating point moves along one of the characteristic lines towards the origin. In this process, the kinetic energy stored will be dissipated, the motor speed drops to zero and motor stops at the new steady-state operating point of 5.

A 440-V shunt DC motor has a rated armature current of 76 A at a speed of 1000 rpm. The armature resistance is 0.377 and the field resistance is 110 . Assume K = 0.41. The load of the motor is gravitational (constant and unidirectional). The armature current at the steady-state operating point (point 1) is 40 A. A dynamic braking is implemented using a braking resistance of 2 . Find the speed at the new steady-state operating point.
Solution
The final operating point will be in the fourth quadrant. One can see that the armature current at the final steady-state operating point is still 40 A, as the load torque and flux are constant. The speed can therefore be found from: Ec Km K ' n = = IB = Ra + RB Ra + RB Ra + RB

Assume motor is operating at point 1, where the cabin is moving upward. The terminal voltage is Vt1 and the load torque is L. Lets assume that the intention is to stop the cabin and move it downward. In plugging method, the terminal voltage is reduced to Vt2 and field flux is maintained. The speed-torque characteristic moves downward in parallel with the original characteristic. Assuming a quick reduction in the terminal voltage, speed does not change instantaneously, due to inertia of the rotating parts, and the operating point moves to point 2 in the second quadrant.

A separately-excited DC motor has an armature resistance of 0.5 and K = 3 V-s. The motor is driven by a single-phase full-wave SCR converter. The AC input voltage is 277 V. The motor is used as a prime mover of a forklift. In the upward direction, the mechanical load torque is 100 N.m and the firing angle of the SCRs is 20. In the downward direction, the load torque is 200 N.m. Find the firing angle of SCRs required to keep the downward speed equal in magnitude to the upward speed. Assume a continuous armature current.

The speed-toque characteristics of separately-excited DC motor, driven by a single-phase full-wave SCR converter, corresponding to two values of firing angle (and thus, terminal voltage) and the same speed magnitude in upward and downward operations, have been shown below. Note that the speed-torque characteristic of a separately-excited DC motor driven by a single-phase full-wave SCR converter, is not linear due to the nonlinearity introduced by the converter.

In TVR braking, the terminal voltage is reversed, but field flux direction is maintained. Under TVR braking, the motor stops rapidly and the direction of rotation is reversed, unless motor is disconnected from the source and a mechanical braking is applied at n = 0. At steady-state, before and after terminal voltage reversal, the polarities of the counter emf and the terminal voltage are opposing each other.

Assume steady-state operation at point 1. Also, assume the load torque to be bidirectional. When the terminal voltage is suddenly reversed, the operating point moves to point 2, without any change in speed (due to inertia of the rotating parts). Point 2 is not the steady-state operating point, as the characteristics of motor and load do not meet at this point. The operating point moves along motor characteristic to point 3, where motor speed is equal to zero. If the intention is to stop the motor at point 3, the source is disconnected from the motor and a mechanical brake is applied. Between points 2 and 3 the machine operates in generating mode. The steady-state is reached at point 4, where characteristics of motor and load meet. Speed

When a DC power source is available, a power electronic circuit that can be used for normal operation, as well as TVR braking, of a shunt or separately-excited DC motor, is the 4-quadrant full-bridge DC/DC converter. By turning switches 1 and 2 on, a positive voltage of magnitude Vs appears at motor terminals. By turning switches 3 and 4 on, a negative voltage of magnitude Vs appears at motor terminals. Through PWM control, the average value of the motor terminal voltage can be adjusted based on the widths of the positive and negative pulses generated by the converter. This allows us to operate the machine as a motor and also implement TVR braking.

Another possibility is using three-phase four-quadrant SCR converter, configured in dual converter style to cover all 4 quadrants. The magnitude and polarity of the terminal voltage of the DC motor armature is controlled by adjusting the firing angles of the SCRs in converters 1 and 2. In order for both converters to produce the same average dc-side voltage, the condition is: 2 = 180 - 1. Converters 1 and 2 support positive and negative armature currents, respectively. The smoothing inductors limit the current circulating between the two converters due to unequal instantaneous dc-side voltage values.

Brushless DC motors are special motors that are fed from a DC source (through a converter), but do not have brushes. The stator of a brushless DC motor is similar to that of a synchronous or induction motor. The stator can have three or more phases. The rotor is non-salient (cylindrical) and permanent magnet. A rotor position sensor is an integral part of a brushless DC motor. A multi-phase power electronic converter is used to convert a DC voltage to square pulses that will be applied to the stator windings.

The schematic diagram of a brushless DC motor with a three-phase stator winding is shown below. In the situation shown, the converter applies a pulse of voltage to the phase-a of stator. This leads to a current in the aa winding and a magnetic flux. The directions of magnetic fields of rotor and stator are as shown. The rotor magnetic field (and thus, rotor itself) moves to get aligned with the magnetic field of stator. If the situation is not changed, after alignment, rotor will stop like in a stepper motor. The torque that turns the rotor is given by:

However, if close to alignment, the voltage applied to aa winding is disconnected and a pulse of voltage is applied to bb winding, the magnetic filed of stator moves 60 and the magnetic field of rotor (and thus, rotor itself) will follow the stator field. If this disconnection from a phase and connection to the next phase continues, rotor will have continuous rotation in the direction of rotation of stator magnetic field. The information about the position of rotor is provided by a position sensor and used by the controller to supply gating pulses to the appropriate switches of the converter at specific positions of rotor.

In brushless DC motors, commutation is not mechanical; instead, commutation between the stator coils is performed electronically. The controller and converter can control the speed of the motor as well as the direction of rotation. Brushless DC motors are available at low power levels. Brushless DC motors are more costly than the conventional brush DC motors. Brushless DC motors have the following advantages over brush DC motors:
Higher efficiency Higher reliability Lower maintenance requirement Much lower EMI Higher speed (in the order of tens of thousand rpm) Longer life

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a machine with very simple structure. Only stator has windings, making SRM a singly-excited motor. Rotor is made of steel laminations, with no conductors or permanent magnet. This makes the rotor moment of inertia low, giving SRM fast acceleration capability. Switched reluctance motors main features are: simplicity, low-cost, robustness and capability of high-speed operation. Switched reluctance motors find applications in electric vehicles, aerospace and robotics. The doubly-salient structure of SRM (i.e., having salient poles on both stator and rotor) results in nonlinear characteristics, which complicates analysis and control of SRM.

The name switched reluctance motor does not mean that reluctance is switched. It refers to the fact that phase currents are switched so that the rotor rotates due to the tendency of rotor poles to get aligned with excited stator poles and assume a position that corresponds to minimum reluctance. The SRMs are manufactured with different ratios of stator to rotor pole numbers. The SRM shown below has 6 poles on the stator and 4 poles on the rotor. It is called a 6/4 SRM. SRMs are made in single-phase, three-phase and four-phase structures. Higher number of phase is also possible. The SRM shown below is a three-phase SRM.

In the SRM shown below, two rotor poles are aligned with two diametrically opposite stator poles that are excited. When these two rotor poles are aligned with two stator poles, the other two rotor poles are out of alignment with respect to another pair of stator poles. When a new pair of stator poles are excited, the rotor poles that were not aligned before, get aligned with the newly excited stator poles. Rotor is rotated by sequentially exciting diametrically opposite stator poles through applying a current to the corresponding windings. From the SRM shown below, it can Stator be seen that it takes excitation of Rotor all three phases in sequence to rotate c a b the rotor through 90. b c Rotating the rotor through one revolution takes switching of each phase as many c b times as the number of rotor poles (4). a [3]

From the developed torque relation, one can conclude that:
The developed torque is proportional to the square of current. Therefore, the direction of current need not change to change the mode of operation form motoring to generating and vice versa. The fact that developed torque is proportional to the square of current, makes SRM behave like a series DC motor. SRM features a high starting torque. To operate an SRM as a motor, with positive torque, machine is operated in positive slope of inductance, i.e., dL / d >0. To operate an SRM as a generator, with negative torque, machine is operated in negative slope of inductance, i.e., dL / d <0.

The reluctance of the magnetic circuit composed of stator teeth, rotor teeth, and air gap, varies with the rotor position. variablereluctance stepper motor. When one or more stator windings are energized, the rotor will step forward or step backward to assume a position that corresponds to minimum reluctance in the path of magnetic flux.

Each pair of stator windings that are facing each other, are connected in series and constitute a phase. Each phase is energized by turning a semiconductor switch on and applying a DC voltage across the terminals of the two windings in series.

Fig. (c) shows the case where a mechanical torque is applied to the rotor and the rotor is forced to rotate through 30, i.e., two steps. This position is an unstable equilibrium position since the rotor teeth 1 and 4 experience the same force of attraction as the rotor teeth 3 and 6. As a result, the net restoring torque on the rotor is zero. If the applied torque is removed, the rotor may go two steps backward to the original position or move two steps forward to the position shown in Fig. (d).

Switch-Mode Operation
In switch-mode operation, the switch is turned on and off under full load current and full source voltage. If the current and voltage transitions during turn-on and turn-off processes are assumed to be linear, the freewheeling diode is assumed to be ideal and the stray inductances are neglected, the switching waveforms do not show any overshoot.

In soft switching, a combination of special converter topologies and switching strategies is used to turn the switches on and off under zero voltage and/or current. Theoretically, this results in zero switching power loss. Zero voltage switching (ZVS) is a condition that implies switching under zero voltage. Zero current switching (ZCS) is a condition that implies switching under zero current. Some converter topologies have inherent soft switching capability. In most of the cases, auxiliary circuits are needed to make soft switching possible. Resonant circuits are used to create zero crossings for switch voltage and current so that the switching can be performed under zero voltage or zero current. Soft switching reduces switch losses, dv/dt, di/dt, and EMI, and enables the switch to use only a small part of the SOA.

Turn-on Snubbers:
[1]
Turn-on snubbers are used to reduce turn-on switching losses and Limit the peak reverse recovery current of freewheeling diode.
The main component in the turn-on snubber is a series inductor that limits the rate of rise of switch current during turn-on process.
At turn-on, as long as the switch current is rising, the voltage across the switch stays at a reduced level below Vd. The drop in switch voltage is:
Advanced Training Centre in Electrical Power Engineering Processing ECE 663:in Electrical Power Engineering Electric Centre Energy Power Advanced Training Centre in Electrical Power Engineering Advanced Training Electronic ConvertersEngineering Power Electronic Converters: Design and Applications Mehrdad Kazerani, 2007
If the snubber inductance is large enough, the drop in switch voltage will be almost equal to Vd. Therefore,
Vd Ls
This means that slope of switch current is controlled by Ls. Note that the reduction of di/dt results in avoiding the simultaneous occurrence of high voltage and high current and thus, avoiding large switching losses at turn-on.

Reduces switch stress during turn-off by reducing dv/dt and Keeps switch voltage low while switch current is high during turn-off process. As current drops, voltage is allowed to rise. Avoiding simultaneous occurrence of high voltage and high current is the key to reduction of switching losses.
The main element of turn-off snubber is a capacitor that limits the rate of rise of voltage across the switch at turn-off to a safe value.

Small Cs: Capacitor voltage reaches Vd before capacitor current reaches Io. As soon as Capacitor voltage reaches Vd, the freewheeling diode will be forward biased. The capacitor current drops to zero and diode conducts the current Io - iC. Base Cs: Capacitor voltage reaches Vd at the same time as capacitor current reaches Io. As soon as Capacitor voltage reaches Vd, the freewheeling diode will be forward biased. The capacitor current drops to zero and diode current jumps to Io. Large Cs: Capacitor current reaches Io before capacitor voltage reaches Vd. Switch current falls to zero and capacitor will take the entire load current.

Metal-Oxide Varistors (MOVs) are devices (normally made of Zinc-Oxide) whose resistance varies with the applied voltage. MOV represents an open circuit as long as the voltage across it is at the normal level. MOV represents a low resistance when experiencing an over-voltage. In this case, the MOV provides a low-resistance path for the current and maintains a safe voltage across the thyristor. MOVs are used in power systems as surge arresters connected in parallel to the power lines to protect the equipment against over-voltages caused by lightning and switching.

Snubber requirements vary from one switch type to another. The goal of semiconductor industry is to reduce snubber requirements of the evolving switches. To do this, the switch has to have high dv/dt and di/dt capabilities. IGBTs feature low snubber requirements. Usually, a small capacitor across the collector-emitter terminals would be sufficient.

Some converter topologies have inherent soft switching property. In other topologies, soft switching is implemented through auxiliary means. Resonant-Mode Converters are a class of converters which use L-C resonant circuits to shape the voltage and current waveforms to achieve ZVS and/or ZCS.

The switching and conduction losses in semiconductor devices turn into heat. This increases the internal temperature of the device. Semiconductor devices are very sensitive to heat. The internally-generated heat has to be transferred to the ambient for proper and safe operation of the semiconductor device. Reliability of semiconductor devices depends on the internal operating temperature. Failure rate of semiconductor devices doubles for each 1015C temperature rise above 50C. The maximum allowable junction temperature in semiconductor devices is around 125C. Operating the device at a temperature higher than 125 , can result in device malfunction. Semiconductor devices are cooled by heat-sinks through natural convection and radiation, or through forced convection (using fans), or through forced conduction (using liquid coolants). Temperature monitoring, control and protection are very important for semiconductor devices. Converters, which are made of semiconductor devices, are tested to ensure proper operation at full-load and the highest ambient temperature indicated on the nameplate. The test in which the converter is placed in an oven and exposed to the highest specified operating temperature, at full-load, for a specified period of time, is called burn-in test and is a common practice.

Normally, the heat transfer inside the semiconductor device takes place by conduction, whereas heat transfer through heat-sink is performed by radiation and convection.
Conduction Radiation Convection
The internally-generated heat of semiconductor devices is transferred to the ambient through three different mechanisms:

Heat transfer inside semiconductor switches takes place through conduction. The thermal power conducted through a piece of material with the length d, cross-sectional area A, and thermal conductivity , is related to the temperature difference between the two ends, as: A
Pcond =

T P
The unit of thermal resistance is C / W. Thermal resistance represents the resistance of a material against heat flow. The smaller the thermal resistance is, the easier heat can flow through the material. Power semiconductor devices are made to have small thickness (d) and large cross-sectional area (A). This results in low R . High power devices such as SCRs are made in hockey-puck shape to have low R (R < 1 C / W) and get cooled through both surfaces.

Heat Capacity
R is a parameter characterizing a material in steady-state. In transients, another parameter called heat capacity is used with thermal resistance to represent the thermal characteristic of the material. Heat capacity per unit volume is defined as: dQ Cv = dT where Q is the heat energy density and T is the material temperature. Heat capacity of the material is:

The unit of Heat capacity is: J/K. The combination of thermal resistance and heat capacity forms the transient thermal impedance. The effect of heat capacity is that sharp rises in thermal power do not cause abrupt temperature rises. This delay has a protective role for the device. Junction

Heat Sinks
The heat is transferred from the device junction to the case through conduction. If no other cooling mechanism is used, Tj-Ta will be small and a small power can be dissipated with a specific value of Rja according to the formula:
R = T T P= P R

This means that the device cannot work at its rated power. Heat sinks allow heat transfer through radiation and convection. They introduce a very small R in series with Rjs, but allow a large Tj-Ta, which results in a large power to be dissipated. As a result, the device can be operated at higher power levels, up to its rated power. Semiconductor device manufacturers keep Rjc as low as possible. The user has to make sure that Rca is made as low as possible in the most economic way.

Obtain Rjc from manufacturers data sheets. Rcs depends on how the case is connected to the heat sink. Usually, a thermal compound or an insulator is used between the case and the heat sink. The job of this additional layer is to provide electrical isolation while facilitating heat transfer from the case to the heat sink. Thermal compounds also fill the pores of the case and heat sink materials, as air is not a good heat conductor.

Gate/Base Drive Circuits - Introduction Advanced Training Centre in Electrical Power Engineering Processing ECE 663:in Electrical Power Engineering Electric Centre Energy Power Advanced Training Centre in Electrical Power Engineering Advanced Training Electronic ConvertersEngineering Power Electronic Converters: Design and Applications Mehrdad Kazerani, 2007
The basic function of gate/base drive circuits is to turn semiconductor switches on and off. The location of drive circuits is between the control circuit and the switch. The requirements of gate/base drive circuits are:
Amplification of the switch control signal to the level required for turning the switch on and off Providing electrical isolation between the control and power circuits Driving the switch successfully into ON and OFF states Minimizing turn-on and turn-off times Providing over-current protection for the switch Generating an output signal compatible with the switch type (voltage-controlled or current-controlled) Being available at a reasonable cost Being placed as close as possible to the switch Isolation stage Signal amplification stage Optocoupler, Transformer, or Fiber Optics

Gate Resistance RG
The gate resistor limits the gate current at turn-on and turn-off. As RG is decreased, turn-on and turn-off become faster. As RG is increased, turn-on and turn-off become slower. As RG is decreased, the switch stress is increased. When selecting the value of RG, a compromise has to be made among the switching speed, switch stress, and overcurrent protection malfunction. In most of the cases, one important factor in the selection of RG is the switching losses. An optimum value for RG is a value that results in the lowest value of switching loss. If the turn-on and turn-off speeds are to be controlled independently, a polarized gate drive circuit has to be used. When turning on by applying a positive voltage between the gate and source, the diode in series with RG1 is forward biased and RG1 will control the turn-on speed. When turning off by applying a negative voltage between the gate and source, the diode in series with RG2 is forward biased and RG2 will control the turn-off speed. During ON and OFF states, the gate-to-source capacitor is charged to the applied voltage. When changing the state of the switch, the capacitor voltage affects the gate current at the moment of switching. This has to be considered when finding the value of RG to limit the gate current at turn-on and turn-off.

The length of the wire connecting the drive circuit to base/gate of the semiconductor switch has to be minimized. This implies that the drive circuit has to be located as close as possible to the switch. It is specially important to minimize the length of the wire connecting the drive circuit to emitter/source/cathode of the switch. A long connector will result in a large enough stray inductance that can affect the speed of switching and cause undesirable oscillations. To minimize the stray inductances, all power semiconductor devices are treated as four-terminal devices. Two terminals (base and emitter or gate and source or gate and cathode) are dedicated to the switch drive signal and the other two terminals (collector and emitter or drain and source or anode and cathode) are the power terminals. Semiconductor switch manufacturers provide extra emitter or source or cathode terminal to facilitate short connecting wires and stray inductance reduction.
4-terminal structure of semiconductor switch

If the connecting wires to the control terminals of the switch are far apart, a loop is formed in which noise can be induced. To reduce the inductive noise pick up by the connecting wires to the control terminals of the switch, a pair of twisted wires or a shielded cable can be used. This is specially important if it is not possible to place the driver and switch close to each other. Using a twisted pair of connecting wire can reduce the stray inductance as well.

Assume IGBT is initially in off-state. CGS is charged to vGS=-5 V. At turn-on, the moment +15 V is applied by the driver, a high IG flows to the gate to charge up CGS to +15 V. This corresponds to the highest positive IG. Therefore, 15 + 5 20 I G ,on,max = = RG RG During on-state, vGS remains at +15 V and IG is almost zero. At turn-off, the moment -5 V is applied by the driver, a high IG flows from the gate to discharge CGS to 0 and charge it to vGS=-5 V. This corresponds to the highest negative IG. Therefore,

(b) Usually, the minimum value of RG is not chosen, since it can result in a high di/dt at turn-on. This could snap off the freewheeling diode during reverse recovery, generating a voltage spike (v=Lstray di/dt), which could lead to a voltage breakdown. A curve in IGBT specifications plots switching times (ton, toff, tr, tf) versus RG under certain conditions. RG is chosen to be at least equal to the value that corresponds to the lowest switching time or highest speed. A lower RG value results in shorter switching times and causes stress on the switch. Too large RG can cause excessive losses and slow turn-on.

RG,on is chosen to be larger than RG,off. In part (a), RG,on > 20 and RG,off > 13.33 . Turn-off is primarily controlled by the recombination of minority carriers in the N-region of the IGBT and gate driver has a limited effect on it.
