Firstly, the random pulse width modulation (RPWM) selective harmonic elimination is realized in one basic cell, and the coordinated control among the cells is realized by using the carrier stacking strategy. If the specific harmonic does not appear in the output voltage of each cell, it will not appear in the total voltage after addition. The master-slave mode in RPWM selective harmonic elimination method is proposed in the process of coordinated control of series connected cells. That is, the main cell is mainly used to selectively eliminate specific sub harmonics, and the slave cell is mainly used to control the output of fundamental power, so as to solve the problem that the inverter output level is unnecessary to flip in the traditional method, and reduce the output harmonic distortion.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"8 1","pages":"87-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/7873541/10098701/10099015.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67868398","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}

Therefore, the soft normally open point (SNOP) is applied to increase the flexibility of AC distribution network. The existing converters for SNOP use many submodules (SMs) and passive components, which have the poor economy. On this basis, a multiport AC-AC-DC converter for SNOP with one medium-frequency transformer (MFT) is proposed in this paper. The proposed multiport AC-AC-DC converter is based on the back-to-back (BTB) cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converter structure, and uses several LC resonant circuits and one MFT to replace the multiple DC-DC converters in the existing BTB CHB converters. Therefore, many SMs and passive components can be saved. Moreover, the voltages at multiple AC and DC ports of proposed multiport AC-AC-DC converter are completely decoupled, and the multiple AC and DC systems can be adjusted independently. The detailed circuit structure, control principle and design procedure of multiport AC-AC-DC converter are introduced in this paper.

In principle, measuring dc-bus voltage of voltage source inverter is vital for PMSM drives to perform FCS MPCC. Aiming at dc-bus voltage sensor unavailable, a new nonlinear extended state observer (ESO) is developed to estimate dc-bus voltage. In the light of load torque disturbance, a modified isokinetic reaching law is proposed and then outer loop NFISM speed regulator is brought forward to heighten the system robustness against load variation and attenuate the chatting level. What's more, for the sake of decreasing the stator current ripple and improve dynamic response, an inner-loop FCS MPCC scheme is adopted. The proposed NFISM-based FCS MPCC with nonlinear ESO can make PMSM drives have satisfactory speed and torque performance. Compared with PI-based and ISM-based speed regulator, respectively, the proposed NFISM-based one enables FCS MPCC PMSM drive system to have stronger anti-load variation ability and weaker fluctuation.

This structure realizes the function of high step-down ratio by pre-stepping the bus voltage. After reasonable parameter design and frequency matching, the third harmonic is superimposed on the high-order resonant link of the latter stage during the energy transmission process.

It has fast dynamic performance that is compatible with a real PV system. The PV emulator can analyze and assess PV systems, including maximum power point tracking (MPPT). It is power efficient at the maximum power point. However, it has higher power loss at an open-circuit voltage (OCV). This paper, therefore, presents a hybrid solution using a switching circuit (SC) paralleled with the diode string (DS) to minimize the power loss. The SC consists of a two-switch non-inverting buck-boost dc/dc converter. The DS operates with a low power loss region, i.e., the current source region (CSR) of the I-V curve, in which the SC switches in to replace the DS in the voltage source region (VSR) to minimize power loss of the DS while maintaining the emulator's circuit operation. The SC handles only a fraction of the rated emulator power and has a much narrower control bandwidth than a pure switching converter-based solution. Experimental results show that in the worst-case scenario, i.e., OCV condition, the efficiency and temperature of the PVE based on DS alone configuration reach 2.8% and 94.2 °C, respectively, as compared to 85.98% and 26.5 °C for the proposed hybrid solution. Under the 30% to 60% insolation change test, the suggested PV emulator lags the actual PV panel by only 3.2 ms, compared to 120 ms lagging for a commercial emulator. Furthermore, the control strategy is implemented to handle the trade-off between thermal and dynamic performances of the proposed solution.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"7 4","pages":"432-441"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/7873541/10016241/10016267.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50327002","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}
