A circuit structure, topological family, and unipolar phase-shift SPWM master-slave power distribution energy management control strategy (EMCS) of the single-stage Buck type multi-input high-frequency (HF) link's inverters with multiwinding time-sharing power supply are proposed in this article, in order to reduce the power conversion stage, volume and weight, and increase conversion efficiency and reliability. The key technologies of this kind of inverter, such as circuit structure and topological family, EMCS, power supply mode (PSM), and steady-state principle characteristics, are deeply studied. The circuit structure is composed of multiple isolated HF inverting bridges, a HF transformer with multi-input single-output, a cycloconverter and an output LC filter. The EMCS is to generate the bipolar tristate multilevel SPWM waves by phase-shift between the right arm and the left arm of multiple HF inverting bridges; the cycloconverter demodulates it into the unipolar tristate multilevel SPWM wave, and performs zero voltage commutation. The experimental results of the designed and developed 1kVA multi-input inverter prototype have shown it has the advantages of single-stage power conversion, HF electrical isolation, high conversion efficiency, small volume and weight, high reliability, stable output voltage, multi-input source master-slave power distribution, and smooth switching of different PSMs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A circuit configuration, a circuit topological family, a buck-mode active clamped circuit, and an instantaneous output voltage feedback control strategy of combined bidirectional buck–boost dc–dc chopper-mode inverter with high-frequency (HF) link (HFL) were proposed and fully investigated in this paper. The steady principle characteristic and the design criteria for the key circuit parameters were given in this paper. The circuit configuration is composed of two identical isolated bidirectional buck–boost dc–dc choppers with the same input and output filters. These two choppers in parallel at input end and in series at output end generate unipolarity sinusoidal pulsewidth modulation current waveforms with positive and negative half low-frequency cycles separately. The circuit topological family includes four circuit topologies, such as one-transistor mode. Taking the one-transistor mode circuit topology as an example, the 750VA48VDC/220V50HzAC prototype is designed and implemented. The theoretical analysis and principle test show the inverters have excellent performance. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A circuit configuration and a circuit topological family of differential buck dc–dc chopper mode inverter with high-frequency link are proposed in this paper. The circuit configuration, the topology family, the instantaneous output voltage and the capacitance current feedback control strategy, the steady principle characteristic, and the design criteria for the key circuit parameters are fully investigated in this paper. The circuit configuration is differentially composed of two identical isolated bidirectional buck dc–dc choppers with the same input and output LC filters. These two choppers generate unipolarity sinusoidal pulse width modulation voltage waveforms with positive and negative half low-frequency cycle separately. Each dc–dc chopper consists of high frequency inverter, high frequency transformer, and high frequency rectifier. The circuit topological family includes six circuit topologies, namely, one-transistor forward mode, push–pull mode, push–pull forward mode, two-transistor forward mode, half-bridge mode, and full-bridge mode. Taking one-transistor mode circuit topology as example, the prototype is designed and implemented. The results from the theoretical analysis and principle test indicate that the inverters have advantages of high frequency galvanic isolation, simple topology, bidirectional power flow, single-stage power conversion, high conversion efficiency, high-quality output voltage waveform, and strong adaptability to various loads.
