The study focuses on the effects of the configurations on the output ripples of the converter, which is crucial for battery-oriented systems. The tests were performed at 1 kV and up to nearly 10 kW of power, successfully validating the use of each configuration. It is shown that for a system to operate in a wide output range, the current ripple criterion is not enough for choosing the optimal configuration, and other factors, e.g., efficiency, must be considered.","PeriodicalId":315989,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CPE-POWERENG)","volume":"50 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":"134178617","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}

An analysis of promising voltage inverter topologies for use in MicroGrid power systems with renewable energy sources has been conducted. The development of power supply systems with PV cells using multilevel inverters is promising. An analysis of the operation of single-level inverters with impedance and quasi-impedance links in the input circuit showed that these devices are capable of meeting the specific requirements for inverters used in systems with RES. Multilevel topology enables work at higher frequencies and a larger factor of input voltage use. The use of an impedance (Z-inverter) or quasi-impedance link (qZ-inverter) additionally satisfies the need to ensure the continuity of the inverter’s input voltage. Multilevel voltage inverters with the ability to increase the amplitude of the inverter’s input voltage are a promising direction for the development of inverters for use in systems using solar panels as renewable power sources.","PeriodicalId":315989,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CPE-POWERENG)","volume":"62 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":"131741005","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}

To overcome this limitation, NPC inverters are usually combined with active dc-link voltage generation by utilizing multi-winding transformers and controlled rectifiers, or by using a second NPC converter as an active frontend, thus resulting in a complex system. Moreover, previously proposed Multilevel Rectifier (MLR) solutions have relied on additional auxiliary circuitry for handling the dc-link voltage balancing. In this article, a Five-level NPC-based rectifier with a Time Division Multiplexing-based voltage balancing control is revealed and verified by digital simulations and controller plus hardware in loop real-time simulations. The proposed PWM-based control scheme allows the NPC to be operated as either a standalone MLR with an unbalanced resistive load or as an active frontend to drive a second NPC-based inverter, in which dc-link voltage balancing is carried out only from the rectifier side, while also maintaining the ability to control the power factor and the amount of reactive power exchanged with the ac grid.","PeriodicalId":315989,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CPE-POWERENG)","volume":"13 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":"134402659","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}

As an example, multiport converters are used in renewable energy applications, distribution grids, electric vehicles, etc. Another field of application of multiport converters can be power supply units for medical equipment. To increase the reliability of medical equipment, it is beneficial to use batteries as a backup supply, in case of failures in the main power source. Also, modern medical equipment can have several functions, and different loads may require different characteristics of input voltages and currents. As an example of such modern medical equipment there is a surgical lighting system with adjustable positioning of reflector during the operation of the system. Such a luminaire requires different voltage levels for different system parts (LED drivers, control unit, sensors, etc.). Considering the necessity of adding backup power supply, the most suitable solution is the application of multiport converter.

Likewise, Latent Heat Storage (LHS) systems incorporating Phase Change Materials (PCM’s) are gaining popularity due to their advantages over the conventional sensible heat transfer systems. Therefore, combining these two forms of energy storage technologies appears to have great potential. Nevertheless, not enough technical literature is available on this combination when implemented in electrical power systems. To this end, this paper combined the use of the AA-CAES and the PCM-LHS systems and coupled them to a gas turbine and an air turbine, in an attempt to assess and compare the resulting overall system performance. The simulation results showed that a CAES volume reduction by 44% on average and thereby lower investments costs would be expected when the combination is coupled to a gas turbine, despite the seemingly higher roundtrip efficiency obtained when coupled to an air turbine. It was also concluded that the fuel consumption of the gas turbine is reduced by 50% on average when the compressed air is preheated via the PCM-LHS system instead of the gas turbine’s exhaust heat recovery system.","PeriodicalId":315989,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CPE-POWERENG)","volume":"14 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":"122163344","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 paper presents three primary approaches to model and calculate the AC loss of hairpin windings: analytical, hybrid model, and FEA methods. In addition, the FEA method is used to validate and evaluate the accuracy of two other methods. Accordingly, both analytical and hybrid model results agree with FEA results.
