An electrothermal network as well as a loss prediction model of a 3L-ANPC inverter is developed for the lifetime evaluation. Moreover, this paper proposes the concept of the passive commutation mode and the active commutation mode for a 3L-ANPC inverter. Based on the developed model, the system reliability when using the two different modes is compared in terms of power losses, junction temperatures, and lifetime. Simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.","PeriodicalId":349940,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 19th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (PEMC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134403529","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}

In the case of power semiconductors, a very essential element of each power converter, the main stressor is junction temperature (maximum value and amplitude of temperature swing), since it greatly accelerates degradation mechanisms, which significantly reduces device lifetime [2]. These facts lead to the obvious conclusion that the temperature of power semiconductors should be measured during start-up and qualification testing of newly developed power supplies, to assess stress levels to which these critical components are subjected. In the case of power supplies operating at high power levels $(30_120 kW)$ and high frequencies $(4_13.56 {MHz})$ even simple temperature measurement becomes a challenge [3]. This paper presents the design process of a robust data logging system, immune to the presence of a heavily distorted electromagnetic field, and its performance in comparison to commercial solutions.","PeriodicalId":349940,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 19th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (PEMC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130572152","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 controller scheme is composed of an inner current control loop to control output current and an outer voltage control loop to control output voltage using proportional and practical swarm optimization (PSO) based PR regulator. PSO is one of the widely used intelligent searching algorithm that is applied for self-tuning of the power control parameters.

However, long and thin hose, variable oil bulk modulus and leakage bring about considerable nonlinearity to position control of the actuator under varying external load. In order to improve position tracking and anti-interference performance of the actuator, a control method with pole placement is proposed. Modeling and simulation of the system with a controller shows that the method based on pole placement has good steady and dynamic effects on position control of the actuator. Compared with the simulation results of the actuator with PID controller, the pole placement method exhibits faster response in tracking the target position of the hydraulic cylinder and better robustness in the case of external load interference.","PeriodicalId":349940,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 19th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (PEMC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129743517","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}
