The electromagnetic harvester is driven mechanically by pushing a button. The energy harvester converts the linear translation of the button into rotation with a rotational speed of about 1000r/min. The electromagnetic part of the harvester consists of a multilayer planar coils embedded into PCB and of multipole NdFeB permanent magnets. The energy harvester device generates maximal energy of about 20mJ. The maximal open circuit voltage up to 4V is achieved. Also, the Power Management System (PMS) used with the EH is discussed and shown. The PMS is based on a dual phase buck-boost topology that converts ac-to-dc voltage in a single stage. Moreover, the PMS combines a maximum energy tracking feature, based on resistive impedance tracking, without adding additional components. Experimental results show the ability of the PMS to convert from ac-to-dc voltage while providing a maximum energy tracking feature.","PeriodicalId":243099,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Power Electronics (Ee)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129820989","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 VIC is a type of electronic circuit, recently introduced to replace large, expensive and unreliable electrolytic capacitors, mainly intended for smoothing random fluctuations of a DC bus voltage V. By the proposed novel control algorithm, the pulsating power that the VIC takes away from the DC bus is shared among the main buffering and the flying capacitors, with the proportion set by a prescribed value. This facilitates to reduce the physical size of the converter, and hence achieve higher power density. This flying capacitor converter operates in an unconventional way, as the flying capacitor voltage is highly variable and hence the converter works under an asymmetric scenario. An average model of this specific working mode is presented, with the design of a linearized current controller. To improve the capacitance reduction ratio, the average value the of flying capacitor voltage is regulated to a relatively high value, instead of V/2. This is achieved by adjusting the phase shift of the PWM carriers. Both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes are investigated, and verified by simulation.","PeriodicalId":243099,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Power Electronics (Ee)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129831519","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}

Voltage source converter blocking must be prevented which can be very difficult given the large rate-of-rise of fault currents. The concept of multi-converter DC bus is introduced as a grid design approach aimed towards increasing robustness of DC grids to DC faults. Behavior of a multi-converter DC bus under DC fault conditions is analyzed using newly defined parameters such as peak fault current increase and bus voltage drop. Critical inductor size and critical fault neutralization time are studied and their implications discussed. The impact of converter rating on fault current sharing and voltage drop on a multi-converter bus is investigated.

In the previous papers, two inherent particular cases have been considered. In the first case, estimation is performed in the point located in the middle of the observation interval, and exhibits good noises and unwanted harmonics attenuation but possesses a large response delay. In the second case, the estimation point is at the end of the observation window. In this case, the filters are able to form a zero-flat phase response about the operation frequency and hence able to provide instantaneous estimates, but with large overshoots caused by resonant frequencies at the edges of the pass band, and the high level of the sidelobs. In this paper, the estimation point is shifted along the observation interval reshaping frequency responses to tradeoff between those opposite requirements. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is shown through simulations.","PeriodicalId":243099,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Power Electronics (Ee)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130857011","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}

Power Quality Data Logger adds time as another variable and enables students to visualize and measure power quality or distortions over time. If PQA is compared to a still photo camera, then PQL can be compared to a movie camera. The main idea was to extend the functionality of the predecessor in the way that data could be recorded or streamed in real time, allowing the user to analyze them on-site or off-site, in real time or later.

Nonlinear nature of PLLs degrades their performances, and question arises if there exist an enhanced PLL structure that would have superior performances. In this paper we propose an three-phase nonlinear PLL structure based on sliding mode control theory and it is named variable structure PLL (VS-PLL). In order to implement this structure on an digital platform, fixed point mapping is performed and corresponding VHDL code is generated by MATLAB HDL coder. Excellent behaviors of continuous and discrete form VS-PLL structure in steady and transient states are confirmed by simulations.","PeriodicalId":243099,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Power Electronics (Ee)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123868965","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}

Smart charging of EVs is expected to enable larger penetration of EVs and renewable energy, lower the charging cost and offer better utilization of the grid infrastructure. Bidirectional EV chargers will pave the way for V2G technology where the EV can be used for energy arbitrage and demand-side management. Solar charging of EV will result in sustainable transportation and use of the EV battery as PV storage. On the other hand, stationary contactless charging and on-road inductive charging of EV will remove the necessity for any cables, eliminate range anxiety issues and pave the way for automated driving.
