Abstract
The high-temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage system (HTS-SMES) utilizes a superconducting coil (SC) to store electric energy in a magnetic field. It has several advantages such as high efficiency, fast response, and infinite charge–discharge cycles. Coupling two SCs made of different HTS materials, known as coupled SC (CSC), can enhance the utilization rate of HTS tapes, reduce manufacturing costs, increase the energy storage density of the SC, and lower magnetic leakage. However, the presence of a coupled magnetic field in CSC makes precise power and current regulation of the individual SC challenging. Additionally, the self-inductances of the individual SCs, composed of different materials, typically differ from each other. Consequently, the current variation induces electromotive force in each SC that differs from the others, necessitating the design of power converters with different voltage ratings connected to each SC. To address the difficulties associated with SMES implementation using CSC, this paper proposes novel modular power conditioning system (MPCS) and decoupling control strategy for SMES. The MPCS enables the flexible design of individual SC power ratings by selecting the appropriate number of power modules. The decoupling control ensures precise current control of each individual SC, which significantly reduces the current ripple of the SCs. Moreover, by employing carrier phase shift modulation, the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the PCS output current is as low as 0.79%. Furthermore, the feedforward power control is proposed to reduce the power control overshoot, and the current sharing control is presented to ensure precise current sharing between each SC. Simulation results verify the efficacy of the proposed approaches.
