The system comprises a class E inverter, an active class E rectifier, and a set of wireless transmitter-receiver coils with series-series compensation. The power flow control of the system is achieved via the control of the phase-shift ratio between the driving signal of the inverter and that of the rectifier. To ensure zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation of the converter and precise power flow control over the full load range, the system is designed to be load-independent such that the voltage waveforms of the converter are relatively similar (slight change) regardless of the applied load. The operating principle, time-domain model, and design consideration of the system are elaborated in the paper. Simulation and experimental results are provided as preliminary verification of the derived time-domain model and the features of the system: load-independent output/input voltage waveform of the class E inverter and active class E rectifier over the full load range, ZVS operation over the full load range, providence of bidirectional and sustainable power flow control and accurate output regulation.","PeriodicalId":335893,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 4th Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126248863","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 key component of a microgrid system is its energy storage system, which assists in mitigating power intermittency due to the deployment of renewables. This paper emphasizes on energy management and control of a DC microgrid system, whereby a simulation model of the proposed DC microgrid is developed in MATLAB/Simulink environment for electrification of a small town.

These three types of OBC are usually compromised according to power factor corrector (PFC), cost, efficiency and lifetime. In this paper, a recent survey about the various available single-stage isolated unidirectional OBC systems are compared regarding to the previous four metrics.

In this paper, the BPF-based improved droop control is first employed for the two parallel-connected islanded inverters, and its small-signal model is derived in this case. Furthermore, the impact of the active power droop coefficient, the cutoff frequency of high-pass filter and the load impedance on system stability and dynamic performance are further analyzed based on the established model.

However for real-time monitoring of voltage profile and line flows it is necessary to continuously run the load flow. However, distribution network (DN) suffers from non-convergence of conventional load flow method (Newton-Raphson) because of high WX ratio. This has motivated to develop a better load flow solution method which will help to address the above mentioned issues with proper allocation of DER for performance enhancement of three-phase unbalance DN. The paper proposes modified forward/backward sweep (FBS) method which helps to identify the weak nodes in network violating the given operating constraints and recommends to implement DERs on such weak nodes to improve voltage profile and reduce stress on power system network. The two-fold contribution of the paper in development of method and performance enhancement is validated using standard IEEE 34 bus which confirms the effectiveness of DERs insertion for three-phase unbalance DN.","PeriodicalId":335893,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 4th Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123576445","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}
