Therefore, it is important to study the frequency response analysis (FRA) of a MF/HF transformer to ensure a reliable and safe converter operation. In this paper, frequency-dependent behavior of the transformer parasitics and their effects on the natural resonance frequencies are analyzed. A transfer function based π-model is employed to compute the frequency-dependent FRA of a two-winding transformer and estimate its natural resonance frequencies. It concludes that at high frequency, increased winding ac resistance exhibits higher damping effect at the resonance frequencies; whereas reduced leakage inductance shifts the resonance frequencies towards the high-frequency region of frequency response. Analytical calculations are verified with the help of experimental results obtained from a 1.5 kW, 15 kHz ferrite core transformer. The predicted and measured values of the resonance frequencies agree well, indicating a good modeling accuracy and aptness of the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":124226,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"157 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115155262","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}

A discrete-time framework for modeling and analysis of the inner current-loop of a digital average current-mode controlled buck converter is presented in this paper. A discrete-time 1-D model of the current loop is exploited for both fast-scale stability analysis and controller tuning of the inner current loop. The analysis shows that stable range of the proportional gain of the current loop PI controller is limited by the applied input voltage of the buck converter. An analytical expression of the stable range of proportional gain is derived from the proposed analysis. A buck converter prototype is developed and digital controllers are implemented in a 32-bit microcontroller (TMS320F28335 from Texas Instruments). Experimental results show a good agreement with the proposed analysis. The framework of this paper can be exploited to analyze the stability status of average CMC in other types of DC-DC converters.","PeriodicalId":124226,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132668357","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}

As the voltage ripple of DC-link capacitors is significant, large DC-link capacitors are required to generate an acceptable five-level output voltage waveform. Hence, to reduce the voltage ripple and size of DC-link capacitors and FC, a chopper based ANPCI (CANPCI) is implemented with two control methods, viz., hysteresis current control and hysteresis voltage control methods. These control methods can also limit the maximum chopper inductor current as desired.

So far, charging stations have been considered as the primary source for recharging EVs. However, a significant time is is taken at the charging station to recharge a single EV. This problem is addressed by Battery Swapping Stations (BSS) that allow for swapping a depleted battery (DB) with a charged battery (CB). As with charging stations, the participating entities remain to be the grid, the aggregator, service station(s) and the EV owner. However, a variation exists in their interaction. In this work, a scheduling management scheme is presented for an aggregator to maximize its profit while managing BSS in a densely populated area. Furthermore, this has been explored for a varying number of requests. Furthermore, a PV assist has also been considered for BSS, where the depleted batteries may be charged through the PV assist. In both cases, with and without penalty for unscheduled EVs, in the case of no PV assist and with PV assist, results indicated that maximum profit was observed in the case of PV assist.

Therefore, an efficient DC-DC converter is demanded for boosting the voltage. The available conventional converter needs to be operated at an extremely large duty ratio resulting in various detrimental effects on the converter circuit. Impaired transient response, increased EMI and voltage spikes are observed as a consequence of large duty ratio. High gain DC/DC converters are thus sought which must be attaining sufficiently high voltage on moderate duty ratio. This paper presents a novel converter utilizing two switches and switch inductors to come across the voltage suitable for integration of a renewable energy source into a DC microgrid. This particular converter does not uses transformers, coupled inductors, or some cascaded configurations. Moreover, the switches being controlled simultaneously do not need a complex control circuitry. The analysis of the introduced converter is done in CCM and DCM along with the boundary conditions. The performance is verified through simulation and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":124226,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133369124","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}
