Efficiency & Power Losses

• Efficiency is a good measure of the success of a givenconverter technology.

• With very small amount of power lost, the converterelements can be packaged with high density, leading to aconverter of small size and weight, and of low temperaturerise.

• How can we build a circuit that changes the voltage, yetdissipates negligible power?

Linear Regulators Vs Switch Mode Conversion Converter

• Linear Regulators are inefficient • Linear Regulators have a high drop out voltage. • They are limited to output voltage smaller than input

voltage .• Linear regulators can however provide a very high

quality output voltage but they are used for application of low power level as low drop-out-voltage voltage regulators.

• At higher power levels switching regulators are used.• Switched mode conversion offers you high efficiency as

discussed in class. (Due to switching phenomenon)

Principle of Step Down Chopper

Design procedure for Buck Converter• Calculate D to obtain required output voltage.

• Select a particular switching frequency:

– –preferably >20KHz for negligible acoustic noise

• Higher fs results in smaller L, but higher device losses.

– Thus lowering efficiency and larger heat sink.

Design procedure for Buck Converter

• Inductor requirement

• C Calculation

• Possible switching devices: MOSFET, IGBT and BJT. Low powerMOSFET can reach MHz range.

One particular reason why you need Power Electronics is that you do not have DC transformers and AC batteries.

WHAT IS INVERTER?

• Thyristor based inverters are used for high power applications.

• For low and medium power inverters fully controlled devices such as Power BJT and Power Mosfet, IGBT, GTO, SIT are used. In addition to having fully controlled these devices high switching frequencies.

• Therefore these devices may be employed very efficiently in inverters where the output voltage is controlled using PWM techniques.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

– Un-interruptible power supply (UPS)

146

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

– HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current)

147

Types of Inverters

• There are three basic types of dc-ac converters depending ontheir AC output waveform:

– Square wave Inverters

– Modified sine wave Inverters

– Pure sine wave Inverters

148

Square Wave Inverters

– The square wave is the simplest and cheapest type, but nowadays itis practically not used commercially because of low power quality(THD≈45%).

149

Modified Sine wave Inverters

• The modified sine wave topologies provide rectangular pulses withsome dead spots between positive and negative half-cycles.

• They are suitable for most electronic loads, although their THD isalmost 24%.

• They are the most popular low-cost inverters on the consumermarket today,

150

Pure Sine Wave Inverters

– A true sine wave inverter produces output with the lowest totalharmonic distortion (normally below 3%).

– It is the most expensive type of AC source, which is used whenthere is a need for a sinusoidal output for certain devices, suchas medical equipment, laser printers, stereos, etc.

– This type is also used in grid-connected applications.

151

Simple square-wave inverter

• To illustrate the concept of AC waveform generation

Output voltage harmonics

• Harmonics may cause degradation of equipment(Equipment need to be “de-rated”).

• Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is a measure todetermine the “quality” of a given waveform.

• Fourier Series is a tool to analyse wave shapes.

– Single Phase Half Bridge voltage source inverters

– Single Phase full Bridge voltage source inverters
