PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To bidirectionally convert power between different DC voltages. SOLUTION: A series circuit of a low-voltage battery 11 and a first reactor L1 is connected to a first alternating current terminal AC1 of an MERS (magnetic energy recovery switch) 100. A capacitor CC is connected between DC terminals DCP and DCN of the MERS 100. A high-voltage battery 12 is connected to a second alternating current terminal AC2 of the MERS 100 via a second reactor L2, a fifth switch SW, and low-pass filters L3, C3. In charging the high-voltage battery 12 from the low-voltage battery 11, a control circuit 13 synchronously switches the second and third switches SW2, SW3, and in charging the low-voltage battery 11 from the high-voltage battery 12, the control circuit 13 always turns on the fifth switch SW and switches the first switch SW1.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure which can control the voltage waveform and current waveform of an output AC power having a rapid response and which increases an extracted power in a power conversion circuit, using a magnetic energy regenerative switch. SOLUTION: A duration of the on-signal of a gate control signal for turning on/off a reverse conducting semiconductor switch constituting the magnetic energy regenerative switch is changed to be within a range equal to or more than the minimum time necessary for a voltage across a capacitor C to reach about 0 [V], due to the discharge of the capacitor C; and the on/off switching frequency of the reverse conducting semiconductor switch is changed within a range equal to or smaller than the resonance frequency determined with the capacitance of the capacitor and the inductance of the resonance frequency inductor 5 to control the voltage waveform and current waveform of the output AC power. Furthermore, a DC power source supplying power to the power converter is connected through a diode to increase an extracted power. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an alternating-current power supply device which can improve a power factor of an alternating-current load, realizes low cost and miniaturization, and recovers magnetic energy. The alternating-current power supply device includes a bridge circuit composed of four reverse conducting semiconductor switches, a capacitor that is connected between direct-current terminals of the bridge circuit and absorbs the magnetic energy at the time of cutting off the current, an alternating-current voltage source that is connected to the induction load in series and is inserted between alternating-current terminals of the bridge circuit, and a control circuit that gives a control signal to gates of the respective reverse conducting semiconductor switches and controls on/off states of the respective reverse conducting semiconductor switches. The control circuit simultaneously controls the on/off operation of the paired reverse conducting semiconductor switches positioned on a diagonal line of the four reverse conducting semiconductor switches composing the bridge circuit, makes a control so that when one pair of the two pairs is ON, the other pair is OFF, and switches the control signal in synchronization with a voltage of the alternating-current voltage source.

In order to provide a pulse power supply device using regenerating magnetic energy stored in a discharge circuit to a capacitor so as to use it as next discharge energy and supplying a bipolar pulse current with high repetition, a bridge circuit is composed of four inverse-conductive semiconductor switches, a charged energy source capacitor is connected to a DC terminal of the bridge circuit, and an inductive load is connected to its AC terminal. A control signal is supplied to gates of the inverse-conductive semiconductor switches, and a control is made so that when a discharge current rises, is maintained or is reduced, all the gates are turned off, and the magnetic energy of the electric current can be automatically regenerated to the energy source capacitor by a diode function of the switches. Further, a large-current power supply is inserted into a discharge circuit so as to replenish energy loss due to discharge, thereby enabling high-repetition discharge.
