Power Electronics Electromagnetic Compatibility

The electromagnetic compatibility issues in power electronic systems are essentially the high levels of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise because of the fast switching actions of the power semiconductor devices. The advent of high-frequency, high-power switching devices resulted in the widespread application of power electronic converters for human productions and livings. The high-power rating and the high-switching frequency of the actions might result in severe conducted EMI. Particularly, with the international and national EMC regulations have become more strictly, modeling and prediction of EMI issues has been an important research topic. By evaluating different methodologies of conducted EMI modeling and prediction for power converter systems includes the following two primary limitations: 1) Due to different applications, some of the existing EMI modeling methods are only valid for specific applications, which results in inadequate generality. 2) Since most EMI studies are based on the qualitative and simplified quantitative models, modeling accuracy of both magnitude and frequency cannot meet the requirement of the full-span EMI quantification studies, which results in worse accuracy. Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 50421703, this dissertation aims to achieve an accurate prediction and a general methodology. Several works including the EMI mechanisms and the EMI quantification computations are developed for power electronic systems. The main contents and originalities in this research can be summarized as follows.

I. Investigations on General Circuit Models and EMI Coupling Modes

In order to efficiently analyze and design EMI filter, the conducted EMI noise is traditional decoupled to common-mode (CM) and differential-mode (DM) components. This decoupling is based on the assumption that EMI propagation paths have perfectly balanced and time-invariant circuit structures. In a practical case, power converters usually present inevitable unsymmetrical or time-variant characteristics due to the existence of semiconductor switches. So DM and CM components can not be totally decoupled and they can transform to each other. Therefore, the mode transformation led to another new mode of EMI: mixed-mode EMI. In order to understand fundamental mechanisms by which the mixed-mode EMI noise is excited and coupled, this dissertation proposes the general concept of lumped circuit model for representing the EMI noise mechanism for power electronic converters. The effects of unbalanced noise source impedances on EMI mode transformation are analyzed. The mode transformations between CM and DM components are modeled. The fundamental mechanism of the on-intrinsic EMI is first investigated for a switched mode power supply converter. In discontinuous conduction mode, the DM noise is highly dependent on CM noise because of the unbalanced diode-bridge conduction. It is shown that with the suitable and justified model, many practical filters pertinent to mixed-mode EMI are investigated, and the noise attenuation can also be derived theoretically. These investigations can provide a guideline for full understanding of the EMI mechanism and accuracy modeling in power electronic converters.
