However, the dissipative characteristic of converter output impedance is seriously affected by the designed LC-filter resonance frequency and the filter parameters deviation. To fill this gap, a design-oriented control scheme is proposed using three variables feedforward, i.e., converter-side current, capacitor current, and capacitor voltage. As a result, not only the dissipativity can be achieved below Nyquist frequency, but also the dissipativity robustness against the LC-filter parameter deviation is enhanced. Besides, the LC-filter resonance frequency can be designed freely without considering the critical frequency. Finally, the proposed method is validated through the simulation.","PeriodicalId":315989,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CPE-POWERENG)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116573859","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 mission profile comprises solar irradiation and ambient temperature with a one-second resolution for eight months in 2022, from April to November. The reliability of the IBBC-SRC is evaluated using the FIDES Guide, which takes into account the application mission profile and the physics of failure when calculating the random failure rate of the components. A comparison was made with the IBBC-SRC reliability prediction under the annual mission profiles of Aalborg, Denmark, which is commonly used to measure converter reliability. According to the analytical results, the Tallinn mission profile results in virtually the same converter failure rate as the Aalborg mission profile and, consequently, has the same thermal stress of components. The reliability prediction based on the FIDES Guide works best when the mission profile has a high resolution, but when the mission profile is recorded with a low resolution, the reliability prediction is overestimated.","PeriodicalId":315989,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CPE-POWERENG)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130539375","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}

However, they suffer from degradation and possible faults causing major electrical and financial losses. Partial discharges (PDs) are used to identify the insulation health status and their degradation level. PDs are incipient, low-magnitude faults caused by localized dielectric breakdown. Those activities emit signals in many forms, including electrical, chemical, acoustic, electromagnetic, and optical, facilitating various detection methods. This paper provides a theoretical basis for the condition evaluation of an oil-filled power transformer and clarifies the relationship between the operating voltage, void location, and electric-field intensity within the void. This was achieved by investigating the propagation characteristics of partial discharge signals in an oil-filled power transformer using a 3D finite element method (FEM) based simulation. Moreover, the characterization of simulated PD sources at different positions is investigated in this paper. The simulation results are curried out to show that air voids near the windings are subject to greatest peak electric field intensity.","PeriodicalId":315989,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CPE-POWERENG)","volume":"323 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124574867","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}

It can operate with four different states determined by a pair of ON switches. The simplest and most common modulation schemes employ only two of them, in a dual-state logic. Tri-state operation can eliminate the right-half plane zero from the transfer function output-to-control variable in Boost-derived modes of operation. It can also reduce the inductor current ripple and rms value. A similar effect can be obtained by changing the order of the states used in a switching period as the power flow reverses. The issue of switching losses can be addressed with zero voltage switching (ZVS) but requires the inductor current to reverse in every switching cycle. Operation with ZVS frequently employs all four states. This paper describes a new carrier-less PWM modulator that allows the change of the mode of operation and sequence of states in a simple way. Its performance is verified by simulation of the 4-switch converter in a typical application: As the interface of a supercapacitor connected to a DC bus employing a tri-state scheme with possible reversal of the states of operation.","PeriodicalId":315989,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CPE-POWERENG)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126411217","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 most recent architectural solutions imply the use of an isolated DC-DC converter, collecting energy from medium voltage (MV) and delivering it to the electrolyzer. An equivalent electrical model of the electrolyzer is therefore needed, as well as an accurate design of the power converter stage, aiming at a high-efficiency operation of the electrolyzer’s cells and at a low-ripple supply current, to avoid premature degradation. This work investigates a full-bridge step-down isolated DC-DC converter, focusing on the opportunity of a multiphase interleaved configuration, particularly convenient for the proposed application. The considered maximum power level is 400 kW, representing a small-scale example of an industrial water electrolyzer supplied by a maximum DC voltage of 700 V. Input DC voltage is 7 kV.

Nevertheless, these high-order nonlinear models pose some potential problems such as obstacles in the analytical description of the system and control problem along with its high computational complexity. In this light, the fractional order based models are deployed to effectively balance the model accuracy and analytical complexity. First, two fractional order components (energy storage system and fuel cell) are arranged in a controlled coordinated strategy to enhance the frequency stability. Then, two artificial neural network (ANN) controllers are deployed for each components in a multi-agent framework. To accomplish this step, a multi-agent stochastic reinforcement learning optimization is applied to train the two controllers. Test results on an isolated MG with fractional components validate the efficacy of the coordinated LFC strategy.","PeriodicalId":315989,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CPE-POWERENG)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131186154","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}
