Four Switch Buck-Boost Quasi Single-Stage Inverter With Smooth Mode Transition Using Three-Mod Modulation Technique
(IEEE, 2024) Keskinkilic, Ebubekir; Tckgun, Burak
Quasi-single-stage inverters (QSSI) attract attention due to their simple structure and bidirectional operation capability. However, in the buck-boost DC-DC conversion stage, smooth transition, and efficient conversion cannot be achieved when the output voltage is close to the input voltage with the traditional two-mode control method. This is due to the pulse width ratio limitations, and non-idealities of the active and passive components. In this paper, a comparative analysis of the mode transition techniques in QSSIs is presented using methods available for DC/DC converters. The system efficiency and output voltage signal quality are selected as the performance metrics as they are important performance parameters in many applications. A 2kW QSSI is controlled using single-mode, two-mode, and three-mode modulation techniques. Simulation and experimental studies are conducted for validation. Based on these studies, it is concluded that the single-mode modulation technique performed the best in eliminating dead zone effects and reducing total harmonic distortion (THD), whereas the two-mode modulation technique achieved the highest system efficiency. The three-mode modulation has superior performance on dead zone elimination compared to the two-mode modulation and better system efficiency than the single-mode modulation method. Experimental results indicate that the three-mode modulation achieved an efficiency of 91.12% with a THD of 3.73%.

In recent decades, given the world's inevitable energy scarcity, increasing energy demand and green energy concerns, high efficiency energy conversion has become more important and attractive than ever, and researchers have directed their interest to energy-efficient converters. Inverters are a commonly utilized type of converter, which can be classified into two categories: single and two-stage inverters. Considering the inherent drawbacks of traditional inverters, a quasi-single-stage inverter (QSSI) has emerged. The QSSI uses a DC-DC converter to shape the rectified version of the desired AC waveform in the first stage and, in the second stage, it switches only once to alternate the polarity. It stands forward in terms of efficiency, control simplicity, and system stability. Among QSSI, a non-inverting buck-boost converter has drawn attention due to its capability to perform both step-up and down modes and its bidirectional power transfer feature. In the first stage of the QSS non-inverting buck-boost converter; smooth transitions between the buck and boost modes and efficient conversion cannot be achieved by the traditional two-mode control method when the output voltage level is close to the input voltage level due to various limitations, non-idealities, and disturbances. Many methods have been applied and studied in the literature to minimize or eliminate the effects of the region which is called the 'dead zone'. In this thesis study, further efficiency and THD improvement for the QSSI is targeted by employing a four-mode control method. The study incorporates a comparative study of the dead zone effects on inverter systems, which have not been previously documented in the literature. Moreover, it places a priority on optimizing efficiency and minimizing distortion in various applications—ranging from motor control and solar energy systems to grid-tied wind turbines and switched-mode power supplies—by comparing existing methods with open-loop voltage control. In conclusion, the theoretical results are verified with experimental studies.
