These DERs however suffer from the tendency to stall under large load fluctuations owing to the fuel map limits present in the engine governors and the inherent time lag in torque production. A critical analysis of the stalling causes is conducted for a natural gas engine powered synchronous generator (referred as genset) that was installed in the CERTS Microgrid. The grazing phenomenon is explored for analyzing the stalling behavior. Simulation studies are performed for different test case scenarios, and it is shown that such DER units can operate reliably near their rated capacity without stalling if the load changes are effected in a proper manner. The ability to handle load changes in such gensets without the need for any load reliefs is analyzed and the possible solutions are discussed for avoiding such stalling occurrence.","PeriodicalId":124701,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128801731","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 main objective of this scheme is to get proportional power sharing among PGMVSIs, so as to make the grid current balanced sinusoidal and at unity power factor. The control algorithm is derived using instantaneous symmetrical component theory (ISCT) to ensure a proper sharing of active, reactive, unbalance and harmonic power among parallel inverters. This scheme requires a central controller and communication among inverters in contrary to the droop control based techniques. However, the proposed control scheme has perfect decoupling of active and reactive power sharing, proportional unbalance and harmonic power sharing, and a very good dynamic response.

The dead-time results in a delay when the incoming device is an IGBT, resulting in error voltage pulses in the inverter output voltage. This paper presents the design, fabrication and testing of an advanced gate driver, which eliminates dead-time and consequent output distortion. Here, the gating pulses are generated such that the incoming IGBT transition is not delayed and shoot-through is also prevented. The various logic units of the driver card and fault tolerance of the driver are verified through extensive tests on different topologies such as chopper, half-bridge and full-bridge inverter, and also at different conditions of load. Experimental results demonstrate the improvement in the load current waveform quality with the proposed circuit, on account of elimination of dead-time.","PeriodicalId":124701,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129170649","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}
