An additional advantage of the PR controller compared to Proportional Integral (PI) is its ability to compensate multiple harmonics by adding a harmonic compensator. Using MRC controllers, the converter reference tracking performance can be enhanced and short comings associated with conventional RC controller can be alleviated. The idea behind using PR-MRC scheme is that combined desirable features can be derived from PR and MRC techniques that improve tracking error and harmonic compensation. The simulated results demonstrate the better effectiveness and feasibility for accurate current controller under variation of transient load conditions.","PeriodicalId":312418,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123860773","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}

Study of islanding behavior of such GTIs is critical for detecting island formation and for subsequently ceasing DER operation. The grid-interface structure of a GTI considered for islanding study typically consists of a parallel RLC network forming the load bank, along with grid and grid-impedance. Existing models for analysis of grid-interface are based on time-domain differential equations and are less insightful for analytical study of the ac phenomena occurring during and after island formation. In this paper, a dynamic-phasor based approach is investigated for modeling and analysis of grid-interface passive network system of a DER. A generic and simplified framework is proposed for developing polar coordinates based dynamic phasor models of passive networks, which are verified through simulation and experiments.","PeriodicalId":312418,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India)","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124139109","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 is crucial to the stability of both the machine and the power grid. Based on this, the existing machine and pitch controllers are coordinated. The test results with professional grade nonlinear simulator considering practical GE 1.5MW system parameters show that, when compared to the existing Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) control methodologies, the approach provides at an average 20–30% improvement in voltage restoration and ensures maximum reactive power support without violating machine limits.","PeriodicalId":312418,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125810297","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 following paper gives an insight to the steps involved in a sophisticated development process for a complex product such as a traction battery for BEVs. It also proposes an approach to factor requirement for the Indian market and to frontload development activities so as to improve product maturity at significantly reduced development costs and time.

During recent era, doubly fed induction machine (DFIM) is preferred for the sites, where large variations in water head or surplus power available in the grid to increase the energy efficiency at part loads. In general, DFIM with parallel connected three-level diode clamped converter (3L-NPC) systems are employed in rotor circuit for large rated pumping applications (above 100 MW). However, parallel connected 3L-NPC suffers with DC link voltage imbalance due to neutral phase currents, which degrades the overall performance of the inverter. To overcome this issue, this paper proposes a novel switching strategy based on virtual switching vector selection scheme, which balances the DC link voltage for wide range of load variation without any additional circuitry. The effectiveness of proposed switching strategy is realized with MATLAB/Simulink environment and experimental validation is performed through 2.2 kW DFIM system.","PeriodicalId":312418,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128038864","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}

Capacitors are used to level shift voltage in order to provide capacitive isolation among the converter legs. Converter legs are modulated with sine-triangle modulation and power flow is controlled by phases of these modulation signals. This equalizer can transfer charge among multiple batteries in a string simultaneously or selectively.

High voltage gain based on voltage multiplier converter with isolation and 3 State Switching cell (3SSC) is proposed which is capable of reducing the voltage stresses across the switches, allowing use of high current switches to reduce conduction losses to improve efficiency. The input stage is interleaved to reduce the current ripple and the converter topology and switching strategy avoids common mode currents and thus lower the EMI. The 200W system feeds off grid roadside EV charging bay and restaurant lighting loads, by fast load management; by inputting the energy from the PV source. A single control is shown effective in operating the system under load side and source side perturbation. The presented results also demonstrate the accurate MPPT tracking for variation in the insolation to harvest maximum available energy from the sustainable source. The proposed high gain converter is tested to affirm high efficiency EV charging operation with load control over a wide range amidst load and source side perturbation.","PeriodicalId":312418,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India)","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133942304","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}
