It is incorporated in Z-Source Inverter family (ZSI) where each of capacitor voltage, inductor current and output load currents could be controlled at their setting points' values. In this paper, a proposed algorithm for qSZI is introduced to simplify the system through reducing the number of calculations. The control decides the shoot through case without any need to check all the other possible switching states. The shoot through case roughly is optimized every two sampling periods. Thus, by the proposed strategy has achieved more than 57% improvement in the computational power compared with the oldest algorithm. Also, the cost function for the proposed algorithm consists of one weighting factor for the capacitor voltage without including the inductor current term in the main cost function. These improved features will enhance the performance of MPC with ZSI family. The suggested algorithm is investigated with the simulation results on the basis of Power Simulator (PSIM) software. Then, a prototype of qZSI is constructed on the laboratory and the experimental results using the digital signal processing (DSP) F28335 are given.","PeriodicalId":211948,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123237196","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 the proposed method, the proportional gain is set to a small value in the steady state and is changed to a large value over stability limit for only a short time in the transient state. Using the proposed method, the transient response can be improved while the dc-dc converter system is kept in stable. Compared with the conventional PID control, the undershoot and the convergence time are improved by 69% and 75%, respectively. Furthermore, the capacitance of output smoothing capacitor must be set to a large value to maintain the stability of system when the control gain is set to a very large value. However, that can be reduced because the very large gain is set for only a short time to improve the transient response in the proposed method. Therefore, the miniaturization of main circuit can be expected.","PeriodicalId":211948,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121547240","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}

One of the key features of a flow battery is the ability to control the flow rate and current during the charging process. The flexibility however has a direct effect on charging time and efficiency which calls for a detailed performance study with various modes of charging. An electrical model of a kW scale VRB having an operating SOC range of 15-85% is presented. The presented model considers a 15 cell battery with current range of 80-160 mA/cm-2, overall membrane area of 780 cm2 and a flow rate range of 2-6 L/min. The results obtained show that there is a trade-off between the charging time and the energy capacity depending on the charging current and the flow rate. This work would aid the process of charging optimization by selecting various modes of operation of VRB, depending on the weightage given by the system for charging time or the energy efficiency.","PeriodicalId":211948,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132196175","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}

Operational cost and especially Diesel consumption form ever increasing cost components. Here, photovoltaics (PV) is an effective measure to cut down operational cost and emissions for hybrid BTS sites. Often PV is integrated in a non-optimal way opening up room for improvements to the operational management. Three different advanced PV-hybrid operational management features are identified, developed and discussed. It can be shown that that significant fuel savings are generated by improving operational management and battery charge control. However, most of the identified fuel savings are at the cost of a higher number of generator starts. The optimal compromise within this trade-off is project specific and can be determined by dynamic modeling and simulation.","PeriodicalId":211948,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127579446","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}
