The switching loss of the proposed AC-AC converter is drastically reduced because the proposed converter is driven at a very low switching frequency which is six times of input side frequency. The T-type rectifier separates the maximum phase-voltage, medium phase-voltage and minimum phase-voltage from the input voltage. Next the output waveform is built by the T-type inverter from each maximum phase-voltage, middle phase-voltage and minimum phase-voltage. The proposed circuit can achieve not only high efficiency, but also short instantaneous interruption time. Furthermore, the proposed AC-AC converter compensates a voltage dip with changing an operation mode of a rectifier. In this paper, the fundamental operation of the proposed converter is confirmed by simulations and experiments. In addition, the power loss of the proposed converter is compared to a conventional on-line UPS and the efficiency of the proposed converter is 97.1% at rated load in an experiment.","PeriodicalId":309780,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Power Electronics and Application Conference and Exposition","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115862219","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 common voltage droop control has the drawback of failing to keep the dc voltage at a fixed value if active power is fluctuating, and voltage margin method actually controls dc voltage only by one converter at a time. A novel control strategy-Coordinated DC Voltage Control-is thus proposed. This strategy utilizes telecommunication technology to coordinate all the grid side converters to control dc voltage. A stable dc voltage as well as accurate power distribution according to the minimization of power loss or other optimal power flow algorithm can be achieved. The control effects are validated based on a five-terminal HVDC system modeling in PSCAD/EMTDC with three different scenarios, including steady state and dynamic state. The satisfactory simulation results prove the feasibility and robustness of the proposed control strategy.","PeriodicalId":309780,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Power Electronics and Application Conference and Exposition","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117006436","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-loop power virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control methods are commonly used in MGI units to share the loads among the parallel MGIs. However, the transient output voltage of the MGI is beyond the CMIS when the resistive load steps sharply. In order to meet the CMIS, an output voltage differential feedback improved algorithm was employed. Comparing to the traditional control method, the improved method could obtain satisfying dynamic transient voltage suppression, resonance inhibition and improve system stability.

Digital computer simulation is implemented to confirm the validity and high practicability of the ALB with the constant DC capacitor voltage control based on strategy under multiple feeders. A prototype experimental model is also constructed and tested.
