Based on the proposed inverter topology, a time-sharing coordination finite control set model predictive control (TSC-FCS-MPC) strategy is developed. The strategy, grounded in the concept of time-sharing control, incorporates a coordinated approach within a two-cycle control loop. During the first cycle, the primary control objective is to optimize the output current of the upper port, with the selection of the optimal vector centered around this goal. Subsequently, the lower port's output is coordinated through control, leveraging the unique aspects of switch multiplexing and the redundancy in switch states inherent in the proposed topology. In the second cycle, the emphasis is reversed, with the optimization of the lower port's output current taking precedence, while the upper port is subjected to coordinated control. The implementation of this method significantly enhances the quality of the output current and the overall efficiency of the system. The viability and effectiveness of both the proposed topology and the control strategy are confirmed through simulation and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"9 4","pages":"430-442"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10829717","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a frequency multiplier based FAC and UVT extractor is proposed, wherein the \u0000<tex>$alpha-beta$</tex>\u0000 quantities of load current and supply voltage undergo frequency multiplier action to obtain the respective components with fundamental frequency four times the power frequency. With the band pass filtering of these signals, the components corresponding to four times the power frequency are determined. Thus obtained current components are further processed to extract the FAC of load current. Similarly obtained voltage signals are used by the synchronous reference frame theory based phase locked loop for accurate UVT extraction with the help of the designed synchronizing logic. The comparative analysis performed using an experimental setup demonstrates faster dynamic response and accurate estimation with a developed extractor compared to earlier reported schemes. The performance of SAPF controlled with the proposed extraction algorithm is investigated in PSIM software. Further, experimental validation is also presented. The SAPF operation with the proposed control scheme ensures unity power-factor operation and adherence to total harmonic distortion (THD) limits by drawing sinusoidal currents from the grid.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"9 4","pages":"384-394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10723227","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Irrespective of the source connected at input ports, the three inverters in the tri-inverter configuration synthesize the 512 switching combinations and spread across 61 voltage space locations to realize the load space vector. The switching states are segregated from the space spread not only to realize the maximum voltage gain but also to eliminate the common mode voltage during common DC source operations. In the case of common DC source operation, the CMV eliminated switching combinations ensures the elimination of circulating current with minimum compromise of the voltage gain. The improved voltage gain and eliminated circulating current guarantees the maximum energy yield from source and improved reliability of the converter compared to the conventional inverter.

It is found that interactions are detrimental to the SEP of GFM inverters but beneficial to the SEP of GFL inverters.

Traditional theories and methods for analyzing power system stability face challenges in high-proportion new energy systems.

To tackle these issues, this paper focuses on systems with multiple parallel LCL-type inverters and proposes an improved minor loop gain criterion (IMLG). Unlike traditional impedance ratio criteria, this improved criterion fully integrates considerations such as inverter capacity, short-circuit ratio, and other pertinent factors affecting system stability. Furthermore, treating each inverter as a subsystem by equivalent the grid conductance to the inverter side, this criterion accurately identifies the primary inverter responsible for system instability. Finally, case and experimental studies are employed to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis and demonstrate the effectiveness of the improved stability criterion.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"9 4","pages":"416-429"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10723224","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using already installed grid-connected converters as perturbation sources offers the advantage of avoiding additional dedicated hardware, but faces some implementation challenges caused by the limited voltage reserve that is normally available in such equipment. To overcome this limitation, this work presents perturbation injection signals that, by considering asymmetric voltage limits, can make the best use of the limited voltage reserve available in the system. The developed approach is first presented for a periodic multi-tone perturbation injection, and then it is extended for narrow-band and wide-band perturbations.

For the generation of 7-level, 15-level, and 31-level output voltages, the proposed MLI employs two, three, and four designed modules, each comprising switches, diodes, and a DC source, respectively. The interconnection of modules results in the generation of unipolar staircase voltage. Further, an H-bridge inverter (HBI) facilitates DC-AC conversion. With modular construction, the levels can be easily increased in the proposed topology by adding extra modules. The merits of the proposed topology are highlighted through a comparative analysis. The higher switch count in MLI necessitates the use of multiple digital signal processors (DSPs), thereby complicating the gating circuitry. To simplify the gating requirements, this paper utilizes the digital output pins in a DSP, which are far higher in number than the PWM pins, for gate pulse generation. This negates the needs of multiple DSPs. The operation of the developed experimental prototype of the proposed 7-level, 15-level, and 31-level RSM-MLI, controlled through the digital output pins of a DSP, is analyzed for steady-state and dynamic conditions.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"9 4","pages":"373-383"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10661295","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142918517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
