LHC: 4QLS with circulation current
different approaches:
Circulating current always present, changing
its value depending on output current
Its control is easy (reference is only
smoothly changing with IOUT)
Inverter reference must always be set so
that this circulating current is possible leading
to higher losses in receptor mode.
No changing mode (Gate of each side
MOSFET always biased)
Q1
Q1 & Q2
Q2
Circulating current only present when close

to a potential transition
This solution saves a lot of energy when
recovering, since inverter doesnt inject
power in MOSFET when absorbing power.
dI/dt Limitation exists, since if too fast,
circulating current doesnt have time to
appear and MOSFET Gate are not well biased.

- Circulating current value
- Difference voltage issued
from the inverter output

LHC: Practical Results

DISTORTION ?:
Crossing axis is OK. No
distortion, achieved
thanks to circulating
current.
CONTROL:
Bandwidth in generator & receptor quadrant
Crossing 0A is OK, being unchanged.
