Predicting the stability is important for protecting the VSG. Unlike synchronous generators, quick and precise prediction is needed for VSG due to the lack of physical inertia. In this paper, a long-short term memory (LSTM) neural network is proposed to predict hundreds of milliseconds in the future of VSG’s synchronousness and stability margin, but only takes dozens of milliseconds. Furthermore, the input and output data of the proposed LSTM is designed based on singular perturbation theory so that quick and accurate prediction is guaranteed. Simulation result shows that proposed LSTM possesses a great potential in online prediction.","PeriodicalId":349891,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128323673","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 focuses on studying and simulating an energy management system (EMS) for energy harvesting with a battery and a supercapacitor for low power applications. Lithium-ion batteries are the primary energy storage source for low power applications due to their high energy density and efficiency. On the other hand, the supercapacitors excel in fast charge and discharge. Furthermore, supercapacitors tolerate high currents due to their low equivalent series resistance (ESR). The supercapacitor in the system increases the time response of the power delivery to the load, and it also absorbs the high currents in the system. Moreover, the supercapacitor covers short-time load demand due to the fluctuation of the renewable source. The EMS monitors the proposed system to maintain power to the load either from the renewable source or the energy storage. The power flow of the energy storage is controlled via DC-DC bidirectional converters. The lithium-ion battery is charged via a constant current (CC) using a sliding mode controller (SMC) and a constant voltage (CV) via a typical PI controller. The response of the SMC current controller is compared with PI and Fuzzy current controller. Furthermore, the performance of a system having and not having a supercapacitor is compared. Finally, MATLAB modeling system simulation and experimental implementation results are analyzed and presented.","PeriodicalId":349891,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124582635","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, conventional topologies are complex and need many switching devices, which increases their cost. The conventional topologies have a power factor correction (PFC) function as well as a boosting function. A low-cost configuration is required for industry, and applications which do not need PFC exist. Consequently, it has been difficult to implement them for industrial use. This paper proposes a simple circuit topology of a three-phase voltage doubler. The proposed topology focuses on only boosting the voltage and it reduces the number of switching devices to less than half that of other topologies by sharing a bi-directional switch with three phases. It was evaluated in experiments with a 4-kW prototype. The results show that the proposed topology can boost the DC link voltage to twice that of a normal diode bridge rectifier over the whole load range.","PeriodicalId":349891,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130367848","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 work proposes a multi-phase hybrid switched-capacitor (SC) converter for direct 48 V to point-of-load (PoL) conversion with high performance. The proposed topology can be viewed as a 6to-1 cascaded series-parallel (CaSP) converter merged with a three-phase interleaved buck converter with automatic current balancing. Due to multi-phase operation, the CaSP stage is able to achieve a higher conversion ratio compared to twophase SC converters with the same number of components as well as lower turn-on voltage for switching devices. Moreover, the proposed CaSP-PoL topology benefits from the frequency multiplication effect similar to that in flying capacitor multilevel converters, which allows for lower frequency operation of higher voltage rated switches and doubled frequency operation of buck inductors, contributing to a further reduction in switching loss and inductor size. A 48 V-to-PoL hardware prototype was built in vertical assembly structure for compact packaging and tested up to 90 A output current, achieving 94.1% peak efficiency (93.2% including gate drive loss) and 702 W/in 3 power density (by box volume) at 2.0 V output voltage.","PeriodicalId":349891,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129120174","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}
