Abstract

A current-source inverter (CSI) has a natural output voltage boost feature that can be advantageous for traction applications. Switching frequency is one of the easily-controlled variables that can be adjusted to improve the CSI efficiency at different operating points when the boost function is used. This paper investigates a CSI-based double-pulse test (DPT) measurement that mimics normal operation of the CSI. A loss model of the CSI is developed based on the CSI-type DPT experimental results. The impacts of the switching frequency and voltage boost ratio on the CSI efficiency and output voltage ripple are investigated. Based on the loss model, a genetic algorithm has been introduced that makes it possible to optimize the CSI's switching frequency and modulation index to maximize its efficiency under any desired operating condition.
