The objective is to isolate pulsating power generated by RF operation from the power grid and enhance power supply utilization (PSU). The proposed CP control is based on the time-domain model, especially under discontinuous current mode. First, the CP model is established from the analytical correlation between the output voltage and the initial voltage of resonant capacitors. Second, real-time calculation of the charging current and power is achieved using the developed CP model, thereby improving dynamic response. Additionally, the switching frequency and duty cycle are updated based on the timely calculated output power, ensuring the desired CP charging and full isolation of pulsating power from the power grid. Finally, experimental results show the superiority of the proposed CP control method over conventional proportion-integration control methods in terms of the RF, the ac input-side power factor, and the PSU.","PeriodicalId":100620,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Industrial Electronics","volume":"6 2","pages":"802-813"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143830456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of the effect of droop parameters of the power control on the nondetection zone (NDZ), the conventional islanding detection methods (IDM) are ineffective in GFM inverters. In addition, the active IDMs have opposite functionality to the working operation of the GFM inverters, which may contradict each other. Thus, there is a need to develop efficient IDMs capable to operate effectively even with unconventional droop gains and help maintain GFM functions. The proposed IDM is a two-stage process: 1) The first stage is to extract some distinguishable features from the root-mean-square voltage and current signals. These signals are analyzed to determine the total harmonic distortion using the fast Fourier transform. 2) In the second stage, a deep learning classifier based on a long-short-term memory recurrent neural network is implemented to identify the islanding condition. The efficacy of the proposed IDM is tested and validated in the real-time RSCAD test system and IEEE-13 node feeder, respectively. the proposed IDM performance is evaluated even during weak grid conditions for various grid impedances. The results verify that, compared to other intelligent classifiers and previously reported techniques, the proposed IDM has remarkably high accuracy (100%) and reduced NDZ (2%) within the 35 ms detection time.","PeriodicalId":100620,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Industrial Electronics","volume":"6 2","pages":"687-698"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143839922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its presence distorts the output voltage and thus impacts the control performance of VSI. Conventional pulse rectification strategy measures the current through each control cycle and use the polarity of the resulting current value to modify the drive pulse. Given that the current values obtained by the classic scheme based on phase current sampling are not the actual currents corresponding to the deadtime transients. Hence this article introduces an enhanced deadtime compensation strategy combining current prediction and drive pulse rectification for three-phase VSI. The improved scheme constructs the actual current values corresponding to the deadtime transients by calculating the current ripple trajectory in real-time during each control cycle and compensating based on it. This can significantly raise the accuracy of phase current polarity judgement. Simulations and experiments have confirmed the validity and practicality of the presented method.","PeriodicalId":100620,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Industrial Electronics","volume":"6 2","pages":"827-836"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143830580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The criterion for achieving average voltage regulation solely through exchanging current information is developed through mathematical analysis.

Battery packs, fuel cells, ultra-super capacitors, and solar PV offer more viable energy options for propelling onboard electric motors and other supplementary EV components. To manage power distribution among input sources, loads, utility grids, and EVs, a multiport converter becomes necessary. In most cases, these converters employ a time-sharing strategy where only one energy source connects to the load, leaving others dormant within specific duty cycle parameters. This approach also has limitations related to duty cycle range or inductor charging. In this proposed study, a new configuration employing a dual-input dual-output converter is devised to concurrently manage loads without operational restrictions. This design effectively tackles the challenge of cross-regulation and enables both buck and boost voltage conversion simultaneously by adeptly controlling switches through a suitable strategy. This article outlines the converter's operational modes, and a design prototype (300 W) along with its corresponding test results are presented to validate its viability.","PeriodicalId":100620,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Industrial Electronics","volume":"6 1","pages":"425-434"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142905770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The capacitors in the circuit are connected across the switching devices to realize static boosting two times and maintain voltage balance in a fundamental switching cycle. Meanwhile, the input-side boost converter helps to dynamically boost the input voltage and minimize the inrush current drawn from the supply. Also, the redundant switches and reconfigured switching strategy make the suggested circuit fault-tolerant. The proposed inverter requires a few switching components to realize multilevel output, voltage boosting, and fault-tolerant operation.

To do this, a hybrid maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method, which is the combination of both the optimum torque MPPT method as well as the tip speed ratio MPPT method, is implemented in the proposed MPC to capture maximum power from the available wind. This proposed MPC controls electromagnetic variables and electrical variables in the same control structure, thus increasing the dynamic responses of the system.
