  1. Converter Circuit for Power Generation Faculty Advisor: Dr. Mark Halpin Team Leader: Brian Johnson Team Member: Jameson T. Smith

  2. Team • Brian Johnson-Team Leader in charge of research and rectifier circuit. • Jameson Smith-Member in charge of web page and inverter circuit.

  3. Motivation • Unreliable Power in Rural Areas • Extended Outages Caused By Natural Disasters • Strong Mobile Power Source • Need of Control System to Produce Reliable Power

  4. Problem Statement How do you produce a high power generation system for a home? • PTO Generator • AC-DC-AC Control Circuit

  5. Design Requirements • 15 kW Generation • AC-DC Rectifier with less than 5% voltage ripple • DC-AC Inverter with Pulse Modulated Output and Minimal Harmonic Distortion

  6. Design Requirements • Mobile Power Source • Easily moved • Powerful • Rectifier-Used Everywhere • Inverter • Becoming more and more important • UPS’s, Adjustable Speed Motors

  7. Design Power Take-Off AC Synchronous Generator AC – DC Rectifier DC – AC Inverter Output Terminals

  8. Design Power Take-Off AC Synchronous Generator AC – DC Rectifier DC – AC Inverter Output Terminals

  9. Design Power Take-Off AC Synchronous Generator AC – DC Rectifier DC – AC Inverter Output Terminals

  10. Design • AC to DC Full Wave Rectifier • Converts Output from Generator to a Clean DC Signal to Pass to Inverter • SPWM Controlled Inverter • Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation • Controls the Frequency to 60 HZ • Switches Transistors in Inverter Circuit • Converts DC Voltage from Rectifier to a Pulse Modulated Sinusoid

  11. Design (Rectifier Circuit)

  12. Design (Rectifier Circuit)

  13. Rectifier Hardware

  14. Rectifier Hardware

  15. Design • AC to DC Rectifier • Converts Output from Generator to a Clean DC Signal to Pass to Inverter • SPWM Controlled Inverter • Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation • Controls the Frequency to 60 HZ • Switches IGBTs in Inverter Circuit • Converts DC Voltage from Rectifier to a Pulse Modulated Sinusoid

  16. Design (SPWM Circuit)

  17. Design (SPWM Circuit)

  18. PWM Hardware

  19. Design (Inverter Circuit)

  20. Design (Inverter Circuit)

  21. Cost Analysis • Approximate cost for Prototype Fabrication is < $1500 • Generator => $1000 - $1200 • Rectifier => $30 • Inverter/SPWM => $100 • Chassis/Control Housing => $100 • Miscellaneous => $100

  22. Future Work • More efficient per cost components • Better Sizing of components • Source chip for gate drivers • Opportunities are endless in applications

  23. Power Generation With APTO Prime Mover Faculty Advisor: Dr. Mark Halpin Team Leader: Brian Johnson Team Member: Jameson T. Smith
