However, the emulation methods often require nonlinear PV modeling, which may have long computational times. Hence, an effective real-time emulation method should minimize the computation time while maintaining high accuracy. This work compares different PV emulation techniques to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of various methods for real-time hardware testing. First, a literature survey compares the type of PV model, interface used, controller, and real-time technique adopted to emulate a PV model’s current-voltage characteristics. Then, the PV model emulation methods are compared using a low-cost real-time emulator (RT Box 1), and computational cycle times are measured. The target application is to emulate a PV panel over various days and test the system control algorithm in real time for a PV microinverter with an integrated battery.","PeriodicalId":151155,"journal":{"name":"2023 11th International Conference on Power Electronics and ECCE Asia (ICPE 2023 - ECCE Asia)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126231681","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 CSTME imitates various motor operations with accuracy. However, the CSTME requires high current control bandwidth to prevent interference between the current controls of both the inverter under test (IUT) and the CSTME. This paper reveals the required current control bandwidth, which is to prevent interference between current controls, based on root locus analysis results. From the result of the stability analysis, the current controller of the CSTME requires 2.2 times higher bandwidth than IUT’s bandwidth. The stability limit of the root locus analysis agrees with the simulation of the time domain. In addition, the effect to the stability limit with time delay is also investigated. Then, the CSTME’s required current control bandwidth becomes more than 3.1 times of that of IUT. The validity of the analysis is verified by the simulation on the time domain.","PeriodicalId":151155,"journal":{"name":"2023 11th International Conference on Power Electronics and ECCE Asia (ICPE 2023 - ECCE Asia)","volume":"92 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126034570","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 performance of a single estimator can get boosted, which is applicable in the field of the battery especially when the amount of aging data is insufficient. Traditional EL is to aggregate base models through averaging, which will introduce errors from poor base models. To fully use the estimation results from base models, a statical post-processing method is proposed in this paper. The EL algorithm is initially constructed by combining random sampling and training multiple extreme learning machines. Then the post-processing is performed by fitting the kernel probability distribution of all sub-outputs and determining the most likely estimate, i.e., the statistical mode. As for comparison, the performance of other aggregations using average, weighted average, and mode from a normal distribution are investigated. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by conducting aging experiments on an NMC battery. The root-mean-squared error is as low as 0.2%, which is an approximate 80% improvement in accuracy over the traditional average-based method. The proposed method tackles the unstable estimation in learning with a small dataset, which is suitable for practical applications.","PeriodicalId":151155,"journal":{"name":"2023 11th International Conference on Power Electronics and ECCE Asia (ICPE 2023 - ECCE Asia)","volume":"19 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114102353","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}

However, this method is barely reported in the application of on-board chargers. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a novel MPE system for the testing of on-board chargers, where a power-electronics-based mission profile emulator is used to mimic the electrical characteristics of the lithium-ion battery pack. With the power electronics interface, this emulator allows plug-and-play tests for on-board chargers.

However, GaN HEMT has poor reverse conduction characteristics under the turn-off condition which causes a dead-time loss. Therefore, as the system switching frequency increases, the effect of the dead-time loss becomes significant. Prior research tried to optimize the dead-time to handle the loss, but these methods need complex mathematical models and real-time calculations according to the load current. To overcome these complex model and calculations, this paper proposes an active gate driver (AGD) to reduce the dead-time loss without any real-time calculation. The circuit design of the proposed AGD is described and the operation sequence is verified with experiment. And the proposed AGD is applied in GaN-based dual active bridge converter to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method. By using the proposed method, the experiment results show that the system efficiency is increased in all load condition.","PeriodicalId":151155,"journal":{"name":"2023 11th International Conference on Power Electronics and ECCE Asia (ICPE 2023 - ECCE Asia)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116133345","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}

However, a converter failure can also introduce stability issues, which in turn increase the risk of loss of load in power electronics-based power systems. This may be severe considering increasing failure rate due to aging of converters. In this paper, a modeling approach is proposed to link the reliability of the converter, stability, and risk of the system in order to design a converter to guarantee acceptable performance of the overall system. Simulations on a hybrid micro grid (HMG) illustrate that even though the stability issues increase the total risk of the system, optimal oversizing and redesigning of the critical components can reduce the risk of system and minimize the adverse impacts of the system stability.","PeriodicalId":151155,"journal":{"name":"2023 11th International Conference on Power Electronics and ECCE Asia (ICPE 2023 - ECCE Asia)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122441226","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}
