In the tracking stage, a large step size is set for the short time to reach the maximum efficiency point. The decreasing step size in the oscillation stage is introduced to reduce the steady state oscillation existed in the conventional method, and the corresponding state switching conditions are given. Hence, the trade-off for MEET between the convergence rate and the oscillation can be removed by adopting this method.

It is revealed that an inverter connected to the AC grid with a larger SCR or a smaller R/X ratio has more power transfer capability. Besides, it is found that the critical conditions for the inductive grid and the resistive grid are different. Under an inductive grid, SCR = 1 is a critical point for effective power transmission. However, under a resistive grid, the SCR needs to be at least higher than 5 for effective power transmission.

Air-core planar inductors built with printed circuit boards can eliminate problems associated with the use of magnetic materials, such as iron loss and magnetic saturation. However, conventional air-core planar inductors have large stray capacitance and suffer from eddy current loss. Stray capacitance affects the self-resonant frequency, and eddy currents affect the resistance and inductance of the inductor. This paper proposes a stranded wire structure to reduce stray capacitance and eddy currents and realize a smaller stray capacitance than that in the conventional structure. In addition, eddy currents can be reduced by splitting windings of the proposed stranded wire structure. Seven types of air-core planar inductors were built, and their impedance, resistance, and inductance were measured to evaluate the effects of different structures on stray capacitance and eddy currents. Furthermore, the temperature distribution of planar inductors was measured with a power amplifier. The experimental results demonstrate the utility of the proposed stranded wire structure.","PeriodicalId":145366,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th Energy Conversion Congress & Exposition - Asia (ECCE-Asia)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126452652","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}

This paper proposes a new resonant push-pull AC heater. The proposed heater reduces voltage stress and switching loss by connecting a resonant capacitor to the switch in parallel. In addition, it has a small volume as it can achieve ’all-time heating’ of a battery without an interleaving structure.

Besides, the loss of the improved MMC is close to the loss of HB-MMC if ultra-fast mechanical disconnectors (UFDs) are employed to consist of direction switches (DSs). However, an ac short circuit fault will occur during the opening period of the UFDs. The ac currents will increase rapidly, threatening the system's safety and disturbing the ac grid. An ac current-limiting strategy is proposed in this paper to solve this problem. By blocking the other five arms, de inductors can limit ac currents during the UFD opening period. By inserting reverse-biased voltages (RBVs) provided by the current transfer arm (CTA) early according to the actual breakdown voltage of UFDs, ac currents can be limited by RBVs during the opening period of the UFD. Thus, the safety of the system can be assured. Besides, the requirement for the opening time of UFDs can be reduced, which means less cost.","PeriodicalId":145366,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th Energy Conversion Congress & Exposition - Asia (ECCE-Asia)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127958727","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}
