Tutorial Title:
Second Harmonic Current Reduction Techniques for Two-Stage Single-Phase Converters
Instructor Team:
Xinbo Ruan, Fei Liu
Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing, China
Abstract:
In the two-stage single-phase power factor correction ac–dc converter, the input power pulsates at twice the line frequency; while in the two-stage single-phase dc–ac inverter, the output power pulsates at twice the output frequency. Meanwhile, in the two kinds of single-phase converters, the dc port holds constant power. Consequently, the pulsating power will result in second harmonic current (SHC) in the ac–dc converter and dc–ac inverter. The SHC will propagate into the dc-dc converter, the input dc voltage source or the dc load, leading to the degradation of the conversion efficiency of the dc-dc converter, the reduction of the energy conversion efficiency of the input dc voltage source, and shortened lifetime of the input dc voltage source or the dc load. To overcome these drawbacks, it is of necessity to suppress the SHC in the dc-dc converter, the dc voltage source or the dc load.
This tutorial will firstly reveal the generating and propagating mechanism of the SHC in the two-stage single-phase converters. Then, a series of control schemes to suppress the SHC in the dc-dc converter while improving the dynamic response of the system are proposed. Besides, the electrolytic capacitor-less SHC compensator will also be presented, with which the undesired electrolytic capacitor can be removed so as to prolong the lifetime of the overall system.

Abstract:
The industry is calling for next-generation power conversion systems with applications of wide bandgap devices due to their attractive features such as reduced switching loss, ultra-low reverse recovery current, and better thermal performance. Particularly, the voltage rating of SiC MOSFET can go to 20kV while that of silicon counterpart is 6.5 kV. It can significantly reduce the system complexity and increase the robustness. However, the application of silicon carbide (SiC) also introduces considerable challenges for the engineers due to their high switching speed. The high dv/dt may lead to high electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise and crosstalk noise which may lead to failure of the system. The high di/dt may interact with the parasitic inductance and result in large over-voltage on the between the leads. To address the aforementioned problems, the industry has dedicated much effort into exploring the emerging technologies which can be categorized into the following aspects: the novel packaging technology for the SiC power module, the paralleling of SiC devices/modules, improved gate driver, and optimized application design. This tutorial will elaborate the effort of University of Arkansas, Hefei University of Technology, and Aalborg University on developing the next-generation power conversion systems with wide bandgap devices. The tutorial speech will be organized in the following way:
- The novel packaging technology for the silicon carbide. Utilization of novel package of semiconductor device can minimize the parasitics in the power loop and gate loop. Some computer-aided techniques are emerging in the industry to assist in the power module package layout design and the PCB layout design. In this regard, this presentation will demonstrate the design guidance of the SiC via elaborating the effort of University of Arkansas Power Electronics Team on developing the 10 kV SiC MOSFET package.
- The paralleling of silicon carbide devices. The parallel-connected devices are usually employed to boost the system power rating since it is more cost-efficient than using a large power module. However, the mismatching parasitics on each power route will lead to the current imbalance and thus speed up aging of a specific device. In this presentation, the mathematic model will be given and the impacts of each parameter on current imbalance as well as mitigation methods will be investigated.
- The novel gate driving technology of the SiC MOSFET. The gate driver design is critical to the system robustness particularly for the 10 kV SiC MOSFETs. Considering that increased switching slew is a major reason of the EMI noise, the cycle-by-cycle switching slew rate adjustment is necessary in some scenarios. In this chapter, the essence of switching slew rate adjustment is introduced. Several state-of-the-art active gate driver solutions are summarized. The effort of University of Arkansas Power Team in developing the novel gate drivers for the 10 kV MOSFET is demonstrated in details.

Abstract:
High-performance electric motor drives have played a crucial role in enabling the growing trend of transportation electrification we are experiencing today. Some transportation sectors, such as electric-propelled ships and electric vehicles, have been calling for more advanced E-drive systems emitting even lower vibrations, acoustic noises and interference. However, high-frequency switching of PWM inverters inevitably produces high-frequency voltage harmonics, resulting in high-frequency electromagnetic vibration, acoustic noise, and interference, which are very difficult to harness.
This tutorial shares tutors’ insights and effort to this challenging problem by employing multhiphase permanent magnet motors and smart PWM techniques. The tutorial first explains the underlying mechanism for high-frequency electromagnetic vibrations of motors using the permanence distribution function (PDF), a novel tool to analyze magnetic fields within motors. Then, a comprehensive electromagnetic-and-structural analytical framework is established to predict motor high-frequency electromagnetic vibrations. Based on the understanding from aforementioned analysis, several PWM techniques are proposed that can effectively suppress or spread high-frequency vibration spectrum of multiphase PM motors.
For the high frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) in multiphase PM motor drives system, this tutorial will introduce the approach of mitigation through variable switching frequency PWM for general EMI mitigation and common-mode (CM) voltage cancellation for CM EMI mitigation. The EMI can be mitigated without requirement of extra hardware like filter.
