Although the overmodulation is desired in motor drive applications for better bus voltage utilization, it can cause voltage distortion, and thus is undesirable in utility interface applications. The overmodulation case may occur during transient conditions. When it happens, the duty cycle will saturate, and the output voltage waveform quality deteriorates. In this paper, the overmodulation surface for a 3D SVM scheme is defined, and the correction methods that keep the system from entering into overmodulation are evaluated with computer simulation.","PeriodicalId":347959,"journal":{"name":"APEC 2000.

This may be very annoying, even if the exposure time is short. On this background, this paper proposes a classic FOC synchronized to a current-controlled PWM inverter operating with a random switching frequency. This implies that the sampling frequency of both the current controller and the flux estimator is nonuniform, but nevertheless, it is shown that the good dynamic response inherited from the FOC can be maintained while lowering the subjective acoustic annoyance to a great extent due to the random switching frequency operation. Besides laboratory test results documenting the dynamic and steady-state characteristics of the proposed system, design considerations are presented.","PeriodicalId":347959,"journal":{"name":"APEC 2000.

An analytical solution for harmonic elimination under unbalanced input voltages is obtained resulting in a smooth (constant) power flow from AC to DC side in spite of the unbalanced voltage condition. Based on the analysis of the open loop configuration, a closed loop control solution is proposed. Simulation results show excellent response and stable operation of the new rectifier control algorithm. A laboratory prototype has been designed to verify the discussions and analyses done in this paper. Theoretical and experimental results show excellent agreement. Elimination of the possibility of low order AC and DC side harmonics due to unbalance is expected to materially affect the cost of DC link capacitor and AC side filter. The proposed method will be particularly useful in applications where the large second harmonic at the DC link may have a severe impact on system stability of multiply connected converters on a common link.","PeriodicalId":347959,"journal":{"name":"APEC 2000.

Thus, the peak-to-peak value of ground to stator neutral voltage can be reduced to 2/3 compared with conventional three-phase SVPWM.

We have proposed a stand-alone photovoltaic power system that uses an electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) with lead-acid batteries. This system reduces the number of battery charge-and-discharge cycles and maintains the optimal charging voltage by using EDLC discharge power. In this paper, we describe the system's circuit configuration, operation, and conversion efficiency analysis. An improved method is described for controlling the system. It increases the system's power-conversion efficiency by keeping the capacitor voltage high.

The control objective is to produce the required power using the excitation that produces the highest efficiency. The SRG considered here operates above base speed. The turn-on and the conduction angles are the only control parameters that can be used to optimize the power conversion. The conventional control method that advances the turn-on angle as the speed increases is not enough to produce optimum performance. The turn-on and the conduction angles together are the key elements for optimal excitation. Optimization of the excitation angles is performed using a machine model based on finite element analysis. For all of the operating speeds, all possible turn-on and conduction angles are simulated to get the desired power output. The excitation angles using the minimum RMS phase currents are chosen among those that give the desired output power. The control strategy is experimentally tested using a 6 kW 5000 rpm SRG. The control algorithm is able to provide required power with very good generator efficiency.","PeriodicalId":347959,"journal":{"name":"APEC 2000.

In this paper, a full analysis of the system is presented using the hysteresis describing function approach to model the inverter. The set of equations obtained allows the description of the nonlinear behavior of the system, such as the limit cycle of the output voltage and its dependency on the hysteresis. The theoretical development also provides the relation between the switching frequency and the system parameters.

A three-phase diode bridge rectifier with R-L and R-C loads is taken as the nonlinear load. It is observed that the AF systems suffer from the problems of switching ripples and these ripples contribute considerably to the total harmonic distortion (THD) in the supply current. This investigation proposes a new, cost free and simple approach for the elimination of switching ripples. A PWM current controlled voltage source inverter (CC-VSI) is used as the AF. In current controlled VSI two types of PWM techniques, namely, carrierless (hysteresis) and carrier based techniques are used. Two types of current control techniques, namely, direct current control and indirect current control are designed to obtain PWM switching signals for the devices of the AF. A laboratory prototype model of an AF is tested with both the direct and indirect techniques. The capability of the indirect current control technique towards the elimination of switching ripples is established. Experimental results for steady state and transient operating conditions of the AF are given and discussed in detail.","PeriodicalId":347959,"journal":{"name":"APEC 2000.
