Patent number: 9869728Abstract: Embodiments of a synthetic test circuit for a valve performance test of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) are presented. In some embodiments, the synthetic test circuit comprises a resonance circuit configured to comprise a first test valve to test an operation of an inverter mode and a second test valve to test an operation of a rectifier mode. The synthetic test circuit may comprise a power supply (P/S) configured to provide the resonance circuit with an operating voltage. The synthetic test circuit may comprise a direct current/direct current (DC/DC) converter configured to bypass a DC offset current of the resonance circuit. The first test valve may be an inverter unit, which may have a positive DC current offset. Further, the second test valve may be a rectifier unit, which may have a negative DC current offset.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2016Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: LSIS CO., LTDInventors: Seung Taek Baek, Eui Cheol Nho, Jae Hun Jung, Jin Hee Lee, Yong Ho Chung

Patent number: 9052726Abstract: A method of controlling a multilevel converter is provided. In the method of controlling a multilevel converter according to an embodiment, a sub-module having the maximum voltage and a sub-module having the minimum voltage respectively are extracted from among a plurality of sub-modules. An amount of state variation of each of the plurality of sub-modules is determined. When the amount of state variation is not determined to be 0, a direction of a current flowing through the plurality of sub-modules is detected. A subsequent state of at least one sub-module is determined according to at least one of the amount of the state variation and current direction. Subsequently an arrangement time for sub-module values can be efficiently reduced while the number of the sub-modules increases in the voltage balancing.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2012Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignees: LSIS Co., Ltd., Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, Yonsei UniversityInventors: Seung Taek Baek, Gum Tae Son, Kyeon Hur, Jung Wook Park, Hee Jin Lee, Yong Ho Chung, Wook Hwa Lee
