Resonance characteristics were exploited during short switching overlap time to cause natural commutation of the active devices eliminating turn-off voltage spike along with reduced circulating currents in the converter. Current-sharing three inductor methodology has been employed resulting into reduced current stresses on the primary side semiconductor devices and reduced heat sink requirements. In addition, the gate driving and control requirements are simpler due to devices having common ground with the supply thereby improving the overall conversion efficiency.

DC microgrids have advantage of low energy conversion stages, leading to highly efficient systems. However, the power electronic converters are susceptible to huge losses in case of DC faults, and it is important to protect DC microgrids against such fault scenario. This paper therefore proposes a method for fault detection based on superimposed components of the fault present. A circuit breaker is then used to isolate the faulty section. Simulation study results are presented to show the performance of the proposed detection scheme. The results of the simulation show that the proposed detection scheme works quickly enough to prevent damage to sensitive electronic devices, as per expectations.","PeriodicalId":124226,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"30 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":"125510491","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 a result, the number of transitions in the inverter increases. This paper introduces a family of PWM methods, where the reference voltage is synthesised as a switched average of only two voltage vectors from individual inverter. This leads to simultaneous clamping of two phases, thus reducing the number of switching transitions in the inverter. The concept and realisation of the proposed PWM are discussed and compared with conventional bus clamping PWM methods on the basis of inverter power loss and common mode voltage generation. The proposed PWM is experimentally validated on an open end winding induction motor drive operating with open loop control.

An option to use a large value of electrolytic capacitors as energy storage is not viable due to their limited lifetime and poor reliability. Hence, in reliable rectifier designs, Active Power Decoupling (APD) circuits are preferred to allow the use of long life ceramic or film capacitors. The use of bidirectional buck converter as APD circuit is advantageous due to its simple control and low switch count. With conventional controller for buck APD circuit, dc-link voltage fluctuations during load changes are often large. This may result in maloperation of dc loads and increase the voltage rating of power devices in rectifier. To address said challenges, this study ideates a dc-link voltage feed forward controller for buck APD circuit. Proposed controller does not require additional sensors to synthesize the feed forward signal. Further, it supports seamless integration of buck APD circuit into an existing rectifier design with minimum changes in host system. The design recommendations and stability analysis for buck APD circuit with proposed controller are also provided. The satisfactory operation of proposed controller is confirmed with the help simulations using MATLAB/Simulink.","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":"122215100","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}
