The converter is composed of six legs and is divided in three parts: the grid-side converter (GSC), which is responsible for power factor and DC-link voltage controls, the stator-side converter (SSC), which guarantees the control of the stator voltage, and the rotor-side converter (RSC), which is responsible for vector control of the generator. One of the converter’s legs is shared by grid-side and stator-side converters. The main advantages of the proposed configuration compared to other topologies presented in the literature are providing balanced three-phase voltages to the DFIG, simple control system and not having any limitation with respect to synchronization between grid and stator voltages and DC-link voltage.

Abstract – This work proposes a double-conversion UPS topology for the integration with photovoltaic panels that allows the maximum power point tracking without the addition of the usual DC-DC converter for interface between panels and DC-link. The panel arrangement is connected directly to the DC-link, and the MPPT is performed by the input circuit. Through this system it is possible to feed loads with a regulated output voltage regardless of mains voltage disturbances while generating PV energy. In case of power excess, current can be injected into the mains since the input circuit has a bidirectional characteristic. The system performance is validated through Hardware-in-the-Loop results, which demonstrate the functionality of the proposed topology.","PeriodicalId":149812,"journal":{"name":"Eletrônica de Potência","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127738611","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}

In power electronics applications, if the primary voltage has harmonics, transformer resonances may be excited, causing high primary currents and secondary voltage stress, compromising the device isolation. This behavior is quite dangerous if the transformer operates without load, what means, without damping, because in this situation, the secondary voltage peak can reach more than two times the expected (rated) value. To protect the high frequency high voltage transformer against this dangerous operation, the overvoltage problem in open load condition is carefully explored and explained in this paper, with the proposition of different protection strategies to mitigate its effect, depending on the transformer parasitic elements values. The different strategies are analytically explained and validated by experimental results, showing their criteria design and effectiveness for the protection of high frequency high voltage transformers through the analysis of a 1 kVA, 311V, 20 kHz, 42/512 ferrite core transformer, showing its dynamics working alone and with each protection strategy.","PeriodicalId":149812,"journal":{"name":"Eletrônica de Potência","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116140793","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}

Based on the commutation cell concept, the new conceived hybrid active commutation cell (HACC) provides three different types of hybrid converters: buck, boost and buck-boost. All three converters are investigated in this study through the following approaches: topological stages, static gain analysis considering the switched capacitor features, generalization of the HACC and gain for M cells and steady-state analysis. The buck version presents a high conversion rate, which demonstrates that it has potential for step-down applications. To verify the proposed topologies, a prototype was built with the following specifications: 600 V input voltage, 150 V output voltage, 70 kHz switching frequency and 1 kW rated power. Efficiency close to 95% was obtained at 1 kW for the buck topology, which demonstrates that the proposed HACC can provide gain and high efficiency at the same time.","PeriodicalId":149812,"journal":{"name":"Eletrônica de Potência","volume":"362 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133364105","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}
