Controlled Single-phase converter
operating as an inverter : .

• Average value of vd is negative


for 90o<<180o. Average power
Pd is negative (Pd=VdId) and thus
power flows from the dc to the
ac side
• On the ac side, Pac=VsIs1cos is
also negative because 1>90o
• Inverter mode of operation is
possible because there is a
source of energy on the dc side
• ac side voltage source provides
commutation of current from
one pair of thyristors to the
others

Prof. V. N. Bhonge Dept. of E & TC


For inverter operation, power is supplied
by the dc source, and power is absorbed
by the bridge and is transferred to
the ac system.

transmission, a 12 pulse output is generally required
to reduce the output ripples and to increase the ripple
frequencies.

SINGLE-PHASE DUAL CONVERTER

 In previous section, we have seen that the single-


phase full converters with inductive loads allow
only two-quadrant operation.

 Iftwo of these converters are connected back to


back, both the output voltage and the output
current can be reversed.

 This system will provide four-quadrant operation


and it is called a dual converter.

Prof. V. N. Bhonge Dept. of E & TC


 Dual converters are used in high-power
variable-speed drives.

 If α1 and α2 are the delay angles of


converters 1 and 2, the corresponding
average output voltages will be Vdc1 and Vdc2.

Prof. V. N. Bhonge Dept. of E & TC


Circuit Diagram and Waveforms:

Prof. V. N. Bhonge Dept. of E & TC


 Thedelay angles are controlled such that one
converter operates as a rectifier and the other
converter operates as an inverter.

 However, both converters produce the same average


output voltage.

 Therefore,
2Vm
Vdc1  cos 1

2Vm
Vdc 2  cos  2

Prof. V. N. Bhonge Dept. of E & TC
 One converter is rectifying and the other one is
inverting, therefore:

Vdc1   Vdc 2
cos  2   cos 1  cos(  1 )
 2    1

 Sincethe instantaneous output voltages of the two


converters are out of phase, there will be an
instantaneous voltage difference between the two
converters.
Prof. V. N. Bhonge Dept. of E & TC
 This will result in a circulating current between the
two converters.
 The dual converters can be operated with or without a
circulating current.
 In case of operation without the circulating current,
only one converter operates at a time and carries the
load current.
 The other converter is completely blocked by
inhibiting gate pulses.

Prof. V. N. Bhonge Dept. of E & TC


There are two different modes of operation.

 Circulating current free (non circulating) mode of


operation

 Circulating current mode of operation

Prof. V. N. Bhonge Dept. of E & TC


Non Circulating Current Mode Of Operation

 In this mode of operation only one converter is


switched on at a time

 When the converter 1 is switched on,


For 1 < 900 the converter 1 operates in the
Rectification mode
Vdc is positive, Idc is positive and hence the average
load power Pdc is positive.

 Power flows from ac source to the load

Prof. V. N. Bhonge Dept. of E & TC


 When the converter 1 is on,
For 1 > 900 the converter 1 operates in the Inversion
mode
Vdc is negative, Idc is positive and the average load
power Pdc is negative.

 Power flows from load circuit to ac source.

Prof. V. N. Bhonge Dept. of E & TC


 When the converter 2 is switched on,
For 2 < 900 the converter 2 operates in the
Rectification mode
Vdc is negative, Idc is negative and the average load
power Pdc is positive.

 The output load voltage & load current reverse when


converter 2 is on.

 Power flows from ac source to the load

 When the converter 2 is switched on,
For 2 > 900 the converter 2 operates in the Inversion
mode
Vdc is positive, Idc is negative and the average load
power Pdc is negative.

 Power flows from load to the ac source.

 Energy is supplied from the load circuit to the ac


supply.

CIRCULATING CURRENT MODE OF
OPERATION

 Both the converters are switched on at the same time.

 One converter operates in the rectification mode


while the other operates in the inversion mode.

 Trigger angles 1 & 2 are adjusted such that (1 +


2) = 1800

Prof. V. N. Bhonge Dept. of E & TC


When 1 < 900, converter 1 operates as a controlled
rectifier. 2 is made greater than 900 and converter 2
operates as an Inverter.

 Vdc is positive & Idc is positive and Pdc is positive.

Three Phase Dual Converters

 For four quadrant operation in many industrial variable


speed dc drives , 3 phase dual converters are used.

 Used for applications up to 2 mega watt output power


level.

 Dual converter consists of two 3 phase full converters


which are connected in parallel & in opposite
directions across a common load.

Outputs of Converters 1 & 2

 During the interval (/6 + 1) to (/2 + 1), the


line to line voltage vab appears across the
output of converter 1 and vbc appears across the
output of converter 2

ADVANTAGES OF THYRISTOR
CONVERTERS

 Thyristor converters provides controlled transfer of power


between the line frequency ac and adjustable-magnitude dc

 By controlling , transition from rectifier to inverter mode


of operation can be made and vice versa

 Thyristor converters are mostly used at high-power levels

 Thyristor converters inject large harmonics into the utility


system
