The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Resonant and soft-switched inverter drives offer the potential for increased switching frequencies, reduced weight and lower levels of electromagnetic interference when compared to conventional hard-switched drives. Regrettably, low-cost, soft-switching topologies such as resonant link designs suffer from poor control performance while others, such as the ACPI, have a high component count and relatively complex control structures. A low-cost commutation control scheme is proposed for the ACPI, which uses a digital signal processor to determine the optimum switching instants for both auxiliary and main devices. Results are presented comparing the performance of the DSP controlled ACPI with an equivalent hard-switched converter.
