Abstract

This paper proposes a novel method to reduce voltage and current ripple for the inverters by using three-level inverters with unipolar pulse width modulation (PWM) (3LFB-2U). A simple technique of switching signal generation by using carrier-based dipolar modulation of three-phase three-level inverters is extended to single-phase inverters that can be done by generating all possible switching patterns of the single-phase three-level inverters. Moreover, the concept of carrier-based dipolar modulation and the construction of reference voltages from desired output voltage and added zero voltage to control unipolar switching is also shown. The research results reveal that the proposed method can reduce the voltage and current ripple. Furthermore, the voltage and current harmonics can reduce by 27.80% and 1.79%, respectively less than two-level inverters without a loss of a simple modulation to generate the switching signals.

Abstract

Solar simulator is used to analysis characteristic of the solar cells. The non-uniformity is its major performance. The traditional non-uniformity measurement calls single detector method. The paper’s objective is to design and construct an array detector scanning system and to determine the optimal scanning time to achieve the lowest uncertainty. To investigate the non-uniformity by our proposed method and the traditional method, our detector consisted of eight photodiodes mounted on an arm of a linear motion lead screw to guide the detector scaning onto the lighting area. A microcontroller applied for controling and measuring light irradiance in 64 points corresponding to IEC 60904-9 standard. The results showed that the array detector scanned at a speed of 33.33 mm/s to obtain the non-uniformity with the lowest uncertainty, less than 0.6%. Analysis results of the non-uniformity obtained from our system on the test areas of (mm×mm) 156×156, 166×166 and 200×200 compared with the single detector. It showed that the mean absolute error was 1.27. Our system provided a lower uncertainty than the traditional method. The measurement accuracy was acceptable. The advantage is for testing on different test areas within a single device. The measurement time is around 1/32 of the traditional method.

Abstract

A phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (LED) solar simulator is an illuminance device that produced irradiance intensity and spectral close to the sunlight. It is determined as spectral mismatch, non-uniformity of irradiance, and temporal instability. This paper has improved the LED solar simulator (LSS) system to have a spectral distribution consistent with the AM1.5G spectrum at 100%. It was developed as a new prototype to have the AAA class spectral characteristics, time instability, and inconsistency according to IEC 60904-9. The results showed that an optimal approach was to use phosphor-converted natural white LED (pc-nWLED), combining a monochromatic near-infrared (NIR) (730, 800, 850, 940, and 1,000 nm) as well as the proposed LSS system capable of generating 1,000 W/m2 irradiation over the test plane of 125×125 mm and operated continuously in a constant temperature LED state for at least 2 hours, therefore suitable for demonstration of solar cell features under standard test condition (STC) in the laboratory.
