The efficiency of the FCLA can be improved by increasing the number of series MOSFETs. However, it causes a higher cost of the MOSFETs and gate drivers. In this paper, it is clarified that the efficiency can be improved by defining the voltage values of each flying-capacitor properly even in the same numbers of MOSFETs. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated and compared to other topologies of the multilevel linear amplifier. It has been clarified that the efficiency of the proposed FCLA can be improved, especially when the number of devices is small and modulation factor is high. The result of this paper is useful for design and implementation of multilevel-topology-based linear amplifiers with higher efficiency and lower noise.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128533645","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}

By integrating the dynamic of the dc-link voltage control into that of PLL, a fourth-order nonlinear large-signal model, which represents the dynamic behavior of the synchronism under large disturbances, is established. Further, the transient stability of the PLL-synchronized VSC is evaluated by using phase portraits. It is revealed that, compared to the case with a constant dc-link voltage, the dc-link voltage control would jeopardize the transient stability of the PLL-synchronized VSC, especially in the weak grid condition. Next, the parametric effects of the dc-link voltage control on the transient stability are demonstrated, which shed clear insights into the controller design to enhance the transient stability of VSCs. Lastly, all the theoretical findings are validated by the experimental tests.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124547414","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}

Maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control is one of the methods to control IPMSMs with high efficiency. Because the motor parameters vary with magnetic saturation, MTPA control cannot be easily realized. Here, we propose a fully online and automatic MTPA control method. To find the MTPA point while driving the motor, it is necessary to predict the entire flux linkage surface. Therefore, the flux linkage surface is approximated by a plane from the sensor information at a specific current condition that considers the effect of magnetic cross saturation. The MTPA control is achieved using the estimated flux linkage plane and the gradient ascent method. The simulation results showed that the torque was maximized in two search periods, which was completed in 0.06 s. The proposed method was effective for a wide current range.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"89 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129743445","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}

Moreover, a compensation method has been proposed to suppress imbalanced force caused due to static eccentricity by using triple three phase winding motor. The system of triple three phase winding motor relies on three independent sets of windings dedicated to control electromagnetic force in each winding.

The proposed method regulates the average voltage of the dc-link in the impedance source so as to follow the highest line-to-line voltage of the ac mains. In this case, only one of three legs in qZSI operates under a high-frequency PWM and the other legs operate under the line-frequency switching in the proposed method. This paper also theoretically discusses the inductor current of the impedance source. As a result, this paper reveals that the capacitance of the impedance source strongly affects to the inductor current ripple and that the qZSI should minimize its capacitance in the impedance source to achieve its best performance. The proposed single-phase PWM are verified in experiments. The experimental results exhibit its highest efficiency of 97.6% at 1.1 kW by using a fabricated full-Si-based qZSI. The proposed single-phase PWM can reduce the power loss in the qZSI to less than half compared to a conventional modulation method.

This research proposed a new control method for PV converter which switches between MPPT control and $I-V$ droop control with regulating a PV current. Compared to previous method using $V-I$ droop control, the proposed method can reduce a number of dynamic feedback loops, which will simplify the system design.

However, the deep learning technique uses a pixel-wise loss function for the training process. Using pixel-wise loss neglected the pixel neighbor relationships in the network learning process. The neighboring relationship of the pixels is essential information in the image. Utilizing neighboring pixel information provides an advantage over using only pixel-to-pixel information. This study presents regularizers to give the pixel neighbor relationship information to the learning process. The regularizers are constructed by the graph theory approach and topology approach: By graph theory approach, graph Laplacian is used to utilize the smoothness of segmented images based on output images and ground-truth images. By topology approach, Euler characteristic is used to identify and minimize the number of isolated objects on segmented images. Experiments show that our scheme successfully captures pixel neighbor relations and improves the performance of the convolutional neural network better than the baseline without a regularization term.","PeriodicalId":256507,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Himeji 2022- ECCE Asia)","volume":"15 9-10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120892438","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}
