{"title":"Transformerless conversion concept based on storage exchange for future fault tolerant and galvanic insulated interconnection of grids","authors":"P. Tenca, L. Gertmar","doi":"10.1109/IPEMC.2012.6258887","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IPEMC.2012.6258887","url":null,"abstract":"The paper proposes a modular conversion concept with integrated energy storage for transferring energy between any combination of AC grids, DC grids and modular renewable parks whose sources need to be close to earth potential whereas the grids they feed feature much higher voltages. By relying on pairs of detachable energy storage elements featuring properly sized capacity, the conversion concept provides high-voltage galvanic insulation, high fault tolerance and simple frequency conversion among all grids without using any transformer. Each pair of energy storage elements is associated to a couple of AC/DC or DC/DC units constituting voltage source cells. In turn, each phase of a grid is structured modularly as proper parallel and series connections of such cells. The pivotal idea is to transfer energy by periodical exchange of the storage elements among the cells, while always avoiding any simultaneous galvanic contact among them. This simple principle assures galvanic insulation and high fault tolerance since the grids or renewable sources never exchange energy directly. The energy exchange is always indirect and mediated by the energy storage elements. Owing to this property no fault is propagated immediately among the interconnect grids and, until sufficient energy is present in the storage elements, one gains precious time for enterprising much better emergency actions in the grids, actions that would be otherwise impossible with the nowadays much reduced time scales. The exchange of storage elements by reconnection can rely on contacts, like the ones for high-voltage tap changers, and on different moving means, like Robots, if physical displacement is envisaged. This latter realization broadens the concept considerably because the storage elements can be transported, via autonomous vehicles, for the long distances which divide the energetically connected entities. A specific reconnection sequence of the storage elements assures their disconnection and reconnection at zero current, thereby maximizing the lifespan of the switches. Although the present state of the art in storage technologies renders the concept still uneconomical and unfeasible today, the ongoing technological advancements could open future scenarios one should be prepared to embrace. This paper is not about a conventional solution for today. It is about highlighting what could be futuristically possible in exchanging large amounts of energy among grids, and/or renewable sources, when material science will provide storage technologies with sufficiently high capacity and number of cycles.","PeriodicalId":236136,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 7th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123758140","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 an electrolytic capacitor-less photovoltaic (PV) micro-converter interfaced with DC distribution system. The short-lifetime capacitors can be eliminated in the proposed DC interfaced structure by using film capacitors which is helpful not only to fully guarantee the lifetime of PV generation system but also improve the system efficiency. Directly interfaced to DC distribution system, the proposed boost-type PV micro-converter features simple structure and high efficiency. In this paper, AC and DC interfaced systems are analyzed in view of PV converter lifetime. Different from conventional power converters, PV converters should keep high efficiency even under 50% load operation due to the solar irradiation profile normally below half of the full irradiation. Because the PV converters are operated by light load efficiency improvement technique such as burst mode method, voltage variation in light load range should be considered. Based on the analysis of voltage variation with respect to the light load efficiency improvement methods, PV micro-converter design guide is presented. 140W prototype PV converter shows maximum efficiency of 97.3% and European efficiency of 96.8% achieving light load efficiency higher than 93% as well as high MPPT efficiency is expected, without electrolytic capacitors which verifies the feasibility of this study.","PeriodicalId":236136,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 7th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125550222","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}

Due to the changeable feature of system characteristic impedance, a curious phenomenon referred to the ‘whack-a-mole’ may occur when using the resistive active power filter (R-APF) to suppress the harmonic in a long distance distribution line. This paper proposes a new approach by installing an APF at the end of the line which is equivalent to the approximate infinitely long transmission line (I-APF, infinite active power filter), to eliminate the reflected wave and mitigate the background harmonic voltage in power distribution systems. The I-APF is able to maintain equivalent to infinitely long transmission line while system characteristic impedance varies under certain conditions that compensation factors of the APF are great enough. Simulations and experiments have been performed to verify the theoretical analysis and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.","PeriodicalId":236136,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 7th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115183797","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 three-phase utility grid is connected to the VMC's current source side. This configuration allows the input ac/dc sources' voltages lower than the grid voltage. The control and modulation schemes are proposed to extract the commanded current from the input ac/dc sources to the grid and guarantee high quality ac/dc inputs and ac output current waveforms with unity power factors.
