Abstract
High performance power conversion requires high switching frequency power converters. Resonant dc link inverters, which are investigated in this paper, are suitable for this purpose because they cause no switching loss in principle. But in these inverters, loss of the resonant oscillation and occurrence of high peaks in the resonant capacitor voltage are serious problems. In this paper, we investigate a control method for resonant dc link inverters which can overcome these problems. First of all, we summarize the basic control principle of an ideal resonant dc link inverter. Then we present an analyzing method for the practical resonant dc link inverter introducing two equivalent circuits in which the influence of the power losses in the resonant link and in the inverter load is considered. From these equivalent circuits, the problems of existing control methods are clarified. Based on the results of this analysis, we propose an optimum and keep the capacitor voltage at an allowable level. A simple compensation method for the influence of storage time of switching devices, which affects the implementation of the proposed control method, is described. Some experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results and the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
