The current limiter is made indirectly by using an active power limiter that is calculated dynamically based on the grid positive-sequence voltage. The paper also shows that the classic control strategies used in the PV systems cause harmonic current injections on the electrical grid and dangerous overcurrents when voltage sags occur. The strategy presented here overcomes these drawbacks and allows the inverter operation under any unbalanced condition. The control is made on stationary reference frame using Proportional-Resonant current control. This new control strategy is compared to the classic strategy through simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC and the experimental results prove its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"77 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116767974","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}

A general expression for the connection (Δ or Y) for both 12 and 18-pulses is obtained and describes the output voltages on the secondary windings, depending on the voltage reference from the primary. These generalized expressions allows choosing different ratios between input and output voltages and as result an optimum operation point for the converter can be calculated. Considering Δ-connected converters the optimum point occurs when the magnetic core of the autotransformer processes 18% and 17% of the output power for 12 and 18-pulses, respectively. For Y-connected converters the optimum point occurs when the kVA rating is 13% and 18% for 12 and 18-pulses, respectively. Based on these results magnetic elements can be calculated and designed leading to a great weight and volume reduction and also to lower costs and losses. Finally an analysis is made to improve the kVA rating of the transformers for 12 and 18 pulses converters.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125051403","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}

Basically, electrolyzers convert electrical energy to electrochemical energy, which stays encapsulated in diatomic hydrogen molecule for posterior use in fuel cells, which convert the electrochemical energy back to electrical energy. The main advantages of the electrolysis process are the zero-emission of greenhouse gases, the use of water as the source of hydrogen, and the high efficiency in energy conversion. Electrolyzers can be fed by the grid or by renewable sources such as solar and wind. In both cases a power converter is necessary to conditioning the electrical energy in order to deliver a clean DC current to the electrolyzer. In this context, this work shows a modeling of a PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolyzer intending its use in conjunction with power converters. The main losses in such electrolyzer are modeled and it is shown the influence of the current ripple in the electrolyzer behavior and efficiency.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124635731","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 error is calculated by subtracting the feedback from reference and then feedding it to PI controllers. The outputs of PI controllers are of the voltage form and transferred back to the ABC frame and fed to SPWM modules. P+Resonant controllers suggest establishing the control strategy in stationary (alpha-beta) frame. In this frame the axis are fix and three phase variables are mapped in a rotating vector with the same angular speed of the original signals. The P+Resonant controller has zero steady state error at the resonant frequency. This paper explains how to apply DQ-frame and P+Resonant for inverter controller design for grid connected single-phase Voltage Source Inverters (VSI). To evaluate the effectiveness of both control techniques, it is also presented simulated results with application of these controllers.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123505825","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}
