“…Eventually, the availability of several types of new power semiconductors that can be turned off by the gate/base terminal (e.g., bipolar transistors, IGBTs, GTOs) caused the tide to swing in favor of voltage-source inverters using pulsewidth modulation (PWM) [10]. As a result, current-source inverters are generally found today only in high-power drive applications ( 1 MW) where thyristors are still able to successfully compete with the various types of controlled-gate power switches.…”

This paper presents a review of the state of the art of power electronics technology in both industrial and traction drive application. Key development trends include the dominance of ac adjustable-speed drives in new applications, with the squirrel-cage induction machine as the preferred machine in most cases. Particularly striking has been the rapid ascendance of the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) as the predominant power switch in both industrial and traction applications ranging from fractional kilowatts to multimegawatts. Key current issues such as industrial drive input power quality and the effects of fast IGBT switching transients on the machines and electromagnetic interference (EMI) production are reviewed. Recent developments in electric traction for both rail and road vehicles are discussed, including the increasing modularity of new traction inverters in all sizes and the market introduction of new hybrid vehicles using advanced power electronics.The paper concludes with a discussion of expected future trends in power electronics technology that will likely expand the markets for industrial and traction drives during coming years.

“…Power switching network technology has been developing continuously since the beginning of the history of power electronics and presents a mature field with a vast array of topologies [31]. Large families of dc to dc, dc to ac, ac to dc and ac to ac power switching networks have been developed [31][32][33].…”

“…Large families of dc to dc, dc to ac, ac to dc and ac to ac power switching networks have been developed [31][32][33]. From the viewpoint of these networks as switching power processors, it is a fundamental consideration that, if the network receives electrical power at a given frequency at its input and delivers power at a different frequency at its output, (in general with a different amplitude), both input and output will reflect frequencies differing from the original value that have to be sunk some or other way by the networks connected to the input and output of the converter.…”

“…• the internal switching function used ( such as PWM) • the type of switching technology used ( hard switching, or alternatively soft switching such as different snubbers, resonant or resonant transition switching ) [31,32] • the technology and size of the electromagnetic components, the interconnections, layout and parasitics in the switching network. A large proportion of the work on power electronics technology during the last 25 years of this century has been devoted to characterizing and mastering these unwanted reflected frequencies in order to reduce unwanted interaction between converter and supply and converter and load.…”

Technologies have specific life cycles, driven by internal innovation, subsequently reaching maturity. Power electronics appears to be a much more complex case as an enabling technology spanning an enormous range of powers, functions and applications. Power electronics is also divided into many constituent technologies. Up to the present, the development of power electronics has been driven chiefly by internal semiconductor technology and converter circuit technology, approaching maturity in its internally set metrics (ex. efficiency). The fundamental functions found in electronic energy processing, the constituent technologies comprising power electronics and the power electronics technology space are examined critically in the light of the internal driving philosophy of power electronics and its historical development. It is finally concluded that, although approaching the limits of its internal metrics indicate internal maturity, the external constituent technologies of packaging, physical impact and converter control technology still present remarkable opportunities for development. As an enabling technology, these developments, together with internal developments such as wide band-gap semiconductors, will be driven externally by applications in future.

A Precise Current Detection Method Using a Single Shunt and FET Rds(on) of a Low-Voltage Three-Phase Inverter

In this study, a low-voltage three-phase inverter was used alongside a shunt resistor to measure the current. However, it is known that this type of inverter and shunt resistor system has a region where the measurement of current is impossible due to structural limitations. As a result, many studies have focused on this region through the use of additional algorithms. Most studies measured current by forcibly adjusting the PWM duty in order to measure the current at the region where it could not be sensed. However, unfortunately, the total harmonic distortion (THD) increases in the current due to PWM adjustment. This causes an increase in torque ripple and inverter control instability. Therefore, in this paper, current was measured using the Rds(on) value between the drain source resistor when MOSFET was turned on and the Kalman filter in a low-voltage three-phase inverter with a single shunt. Additionally, the value was verified via comparison with the values achieved when a Hall-type current sensor and single shunt were used. As a result, this study confirmed that the inverter with a single shunt performs the same as a Hall-type sensor at the region where current cannot be detected.
