讲座主题:How to measure 99.9% efficiency with a high accuracy

讲座人:Atsuo Kawamura,Professor emeritus, Yokohama National University
讲座摘要:
The advent of wide bandgap semiconductor devices has made it possible to achieve high conversion efficiency in power conversion. DC-AC power conversion (inverters) has AC output and varying input-output voltage ratios, making it difficult to achieve ultra-high efficiency. The speaker's research group is aiming to create a HEECS inverter with 99.9% efficiency. As efficiency increases, it becomes important to ensure measurement accuracy. The speaker proposed a loss measurement method using only electrical measuring instruments called the VTASLM method, which achieved a measurement accuracy of 0.004% and measured a conversion efficiency of 99.84%. Its characteristic lies in combining active and regenerative operations to improve loss measurement accuracy. This measurement method will be explained in detail.
First, the theoretical analysis of efficiency measurement, the theory of VTASLM, measurement errors in power and regeneration operations, the theory of deriving average losses and their errors in VTASLA, practical error correction, and measurement procedures will be explained.
Next, using the HEECS inverter as an example, the actual measurement of correction terms and the calculation of measurement accuracy will be explained based on actual measurement data.
Finally, as a discussion, we will consider methods to further improve measurement accuracy, as well as average efficiency and operating points. 
This loss measurement method is versatile and can be used to measure losses with high accuracy in any electrical equipment using existing power measurement devices.
