The article provides a circuit description of the proposed inverter, its operating principle, and the modulation strategy employed. Furthermore, the article outlines an optimal capacitor selection method and conducts various power loss analyses for the 19-level proposed SCMLI. A detailed comparative study with similar SCMLIs shows that the proposed SCMLI achieves higher output voltage levels while utilizing fewer components such as switches, drivers, diodes and capacitors. Furthermore, it offers a more cost-effective function per output voltage level than recently reported similar SCMLIs. An extensive experimental study has been conducted on a prototype of the 19-level SCMLI to validate its performance.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"9 2","pages":"175-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10379582","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141500380","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}

Initial SHE solution is defined as a set of initial switching angles that has less accuracy as compared to the final SHE solution. To find initial SHE solution, tunicate swarm algorithm (TSA), grey wolf optimization (GWO) and whale optimization (WO) are used to solve five-dimensional SHE problem. A comparative analysis demonstrates that TSA achieved the desired initial SHE solution within lesser iterations as compared to GWO and WO for a wide range of modulation indices. The initial switching angles found using TSA are further optimized using Newton-Raphson (NR) method being the proposed TSANR method, which exploits the SHE search space with quadratic rate of convergence to find final SHE solution. The proposed TSANR method significantly minimizes the computational time and further improves the accuracy of the SHE solution as compared to the state-of-the-art SHE methods. Detailed simulations, experimental and harmonic analysis under dynamic change in modulation index are presented to show the efficacy of the proposed SHE method in terms of control over fundamental and detrimental harmonics.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"63-78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10379578","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140351533","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}

However, the performance degradation with junction temperature swings and load current dependence in many bond wire AM methods remains an obstacle. To address this, a bond wire AM method based on the back propagation neural networks (BPNN) is proposed in this paper, in which the on-state voltage drop (OVD) is used as the indicator of bond wire AM. In the proposed AM method, a multi-physical field coupling model of the IGBT module is established. Then, with the assistance of the model, the characterization behaviors of the OVD are thoroughly analyzed. According to the analysis, it is known that the junction temperature swings and load current dependence may obviously degrade the performance of the proposed AM method. Afterward, BPNN is adopted to deal with these issues. Finally, the performance of the proposed AM method is explored through extensive experimental tests.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"39-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10365717","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140351451","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 number of converters and the system expend are greatly reduced and saved when compared with the conventional dc distributed network. Due to the input power of these dc units are different and the multiple modules are in serial connection on MVdc side, which will lead to the output voltage imbalance between submodules (SMs). By inserting a single LC branch between adjacent SMs to transfer the differential power in the proposed topology, SM output voltage mismatched problem can be solved. Moreover, all SM power switches can realize zero voltage switching (ZVS), which further ameliorates the system efficiency. Finally, the above theoretical analysis is verified by simulation and experimental results, and the proposed multiport PET can operate stably in different working states.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"99-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10304594","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140351414","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}

However, a traditional PR controller with relatively small integral gain, used for higher-order harmonics to keep stability, will cause increases in magnitudes, and decreases in phase around resonant frequency, and jeopardize stability. These all call for a more precise realization of PR controller. This paper proposes a cascade-formed PR controller realization method, which proves to realize PR controller more accurately even with a relatively small integral gain. The method is to decompose a PR controller into multiple independent PR units, and each PR unit is realized by mapping PR controller's parameters to its pole and zero positions. The distance between a pole-zero pair is found related to frequency characteristic error and is restricted accordingly to limit the error. Comprehensive comparisons of PR controllers realized by cascade form and the traditional parallel form have been conducted theoretically and experimentally, verifying that the cascade realization method is more accurate.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"51-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10304593","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140351496","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}

To track such problem, this paper proposes a voltage compensation control and parameter adaptive method for the VDMC of microgrid energy storage converters. Firstly, the dynamic process of microgrid bus voltage under disturbance is analyzed, and an armature voltage compensation control loop is then constructed. Subsequently, the influences of inertia, damping and compensation coefficients on the system dynamic characteristics are evaluated, and a parameter adaptive control method for the improved VDMC is proposed.

However, sharing of information among control agents by distributed manner in the DCMGCs renders the systems vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Among various cyber-attacks, false data injection attacks (FDIAs) can be carefully designed as stealth attacks, which can cause errors in the power management of DC-MGCs without manifestation of instability phenomena and even mislead existing detection methods to make incorrect judgments. To address this issue, this paper presents an alternative data-based strategy to detect FDIAs and mitigate the impact of the attacks in cyber network of DCMGCs. The classification conditions of FDIAs are discussed according to the different responses of DC-MGCs to the attacks. Furthermore, the core detection problem is transformed into identifying whether the system outputs match by selecting alternative communication data to circumvent complex modeling.
