The proposed controller is designed to ensure the desired common DC-bus voltage which depicts the maintenance of the power balance for the DC microgrid. The structure of DC microgrids includes a solar photovoltaic (PV) unit, a battery energy storage system (BESS), a standby diesel generator, and an aggregated DC load. The implementation of the proposed partial feedback linearizing control scheme requires all state information of DC microgrids which need to be either measured or estimated through observers. Traditionally, it is considered that all states can be measured for which it is essential to use large number of sensors. Here, the common DC-bus voltage which is the output of each component is used as feedback variables for the estimation of state variables using a new nonlinear state observer. The proposed output feedback control scheme is designed based on the dynamical models of all components within a DC microgrid structure. Simulation studies are carried out under different operating conditions in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed nonlinear output feedback controller including some comparisons with an existing sliding mode controller.","PeriodicalId":124226,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"1 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":"127017250","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 common leg allows the discharging quadrature-phase energy to charge the corresponding capacitor in the bridge. This, during the energization of the corresponding quadrature-phase, provides a maximum boost in voltage. Thus, an inherent voltage boosting is achieved. Analysis of different operating modes of the proposed converter is discussed. The proposed converter's effectiveness is verified through the simulation studies in the MATLAB/Simulink environment on a prototype 4-phase 8/6 SRM, designed in ANSYS/Maxwell. The proposed converter configuration uses the same number of switches and diodes as in a conventional three-level asymmetric half-bridge converter (TL-AHB).

Recently, the frequency range of 9–150 kHz has been noticed as a new disturbing frequency range, interfering with the distribution networks. Due to the novelty of this topic, so far, there has not been a thorough investigation for the effect of DC and AC choke configurations on 9–150 kHz emissions, especially for the three-phase ASDs. In this paper, the effect of DC and AC choke configurations on Common-Mode (CM) current emissions at the frequency range of 9–150 kHz is broadly surveyed in the three-phase ASDs. Subsequently, the comprehensive equivalent models of the system are presented for each configuration of DC and AC chokes. This investigation is based on the comparative analysis of the system's transfer functions according to the presented single-phase equivalent model, mathematical calculations, and the three-phase system circuit. Consequently, the presented approach is highly useful to minimize the drive system volume, as the designer can predict the choke configuration of the smallest size for suppressing 9–150 kHz emissions.","PeriodicalId":124226,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"212 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":"124162231","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, the regulated converters exhibits negative impedance characteristics and acts like constant power loads (CPLs). To ensure the system stability, adaptive controller can be used in the system controller design. However, to design these adaptive controllers real-time grid impedance information is required and this is a challenging task. In this paper a Hall Binary Sequence (HBS) which is a class of pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) is proposed for real-time impedance measurement. The HBS perturbation is computationally very effective compared to conventional multi-sine perturbation methods. Perturbation signals for impedance measurement should have low crest factor and less measurement time. The proposed HBS has low crest factor and the impedance can be measured within 3–5 perturbation cycles. To extract the impedance of the grid, the HBS is added to the inner loop currents (d-axis and q-axis) components of the energy storage system (ESS). Next, the Generalized Nyquist Stability Criteria (GNC) is applied to the return ratio matrix to check the system stability. The effectiveness of proposed impedance measurement algorithm using the HBS has been tested on three-phase microgrid system in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Simulations results are validated by conducting experiment on a 2kW laboratory test bed and results proved the robustness of the proposed impedance measurement algorithm.","PeriodicalId":124226,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"53 2 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":"132214299","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}
