Power Electronic Converters for DC Drives • Power electronics converters are used to obtain variable voltage • Highly efficient • Ideally lossless • Type of converter used is depending on voltage source : • AC voltage source Controlled Rectifiers • Fixed DC voltage source DC-DC converters (switch mode converters) EEEB443 - Control & Drives
DC – DC Converter Fed Drives • To obtain variable DC voltage fromfixed DC source • Self-commutated devices preferred (MOSFETs, IGBTs, GTOs) over thyristors • Commutated by lower power control signal • Commutation circuit not needed • Can be switched at higher frequency for same rating • Improved motor performance (less ripple, no discontinuous currents, increased control bandwidth) • Suitable for high performance applications • Regenerative braking possible up to very low speeds even when fed from fixed DC voltage source EEEB443 - Control & Drives

D1 D3 T1 T3 + Va- T4 T2 D2 D4 DC – DC Converter Fed Drives- Four-quadrant Control • When a switch is on (i.e. ‘ON state’) it may or may not conduct current depending on the direction of ia • If a switch conducts current, it is in a conducting state • Converter has two legs (Leg A & Leg B) • Both switches in each leg, are alternately switched • If T1 = ON, T4 = OFF • If T4 = ON, T1 = OFF Leg B + Vdc - ia EEEB443 - Control & Drives Leg A

DC – DC Converter Fed Drives- Four-quadrant Control • For both positive and negative current, output voltage can swing between: • Vdcand-Vdc • Vdcand 0 • Four quadrant chopper has two legs, so it requires two switching signals (one for each leg) • Depending on relationship between the two switching signals, 4-quadrant chopper has two switching schemes: • Bipolar switching • Unipolar switching • Switching scheme determines output voltage swing between Vdcand-VdcorVdcand 0. EEEB443 - Control & Drives
DC – DC Converter Fed Drives • Operation of DC motor drive depends on: • Direction of Ia(determined by torque, i.e. motoring or braking) • Polarity of Va and Ea(determined by speed, i.e. forward or reverse) • the duty cycle of the DC-DC Converter (either two-quadrant or four-quadrant) • Open loop control is achieved by changing the duty cycle manually as and when required EEEB443 - Control & Drives
