摘要
This paper presents a current soft-commutation pulsewidth modulation (PWM) scheme for three-phase current source converter. With the presented PWM scheme, the incoming switch has a positive collector-to-emitter voltage while the outgoing switch has a negative collector-to-emitter voltage during current commutations. Therefore, natural soft commutations for switching transitions are achieved, while current-commutating durations are also lessened. Moreover, some particular advantages can also be obtained such as reduced switching frequency, high dc current utilization ratio, and in-phase transfer between line currents and their references. For more efficient control, this paper then designs logic equations for mapping out the assignments from references to gating signals, allowing a simple implementation using a digital signal processor or a programmable logic device. The theoretical analysis is verified by experimental results.
