However, traditional PI controller manages output voltage/power by adjusting the phase shift angle of DAB and allows LLC to operate in an open loop mode, which leads to poor transient response. In this paper, an improved simplified optimal trajectory controller (SOTC) suitable for LLC in sigma converter is investigated. And then a new hybrid control strategy is proposed, which can not only control DAB by PI controller, but also control LLC by improved SOTC at transient. The hybrid control strategy compensates the load current and enhances the intrinsic voltage feedback of the sigma converter. Furthermore, it reduces current overshoot and improves transient response without reducing the efficiency. Finally, a prototype rated at 1 kW is built and tested, and experimental results verified the effectiveness of proposed strategy.","PeriodicalId":374979,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th International Symposium on Power Electronics for Distributed Generation Systems (PEDG)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129824707","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}

Whereas, the wind energy module uses tip-speed ratio based MPPT method for switching control of converter. A back-to-back converter is added to improve the current sharing between the PV panels and wind farm. Also, to enhance the system reliability due to current sharing under varying and unpredictable weather conditions, droop based MPC is implemented to fix the dc bus voltage.

One approach is to use the isolated parallel ring bus (IPRB) architecture with static UPS. This features load sharing with active and reactive power transferred through choke inductors to the ring bus. This architecture maximizes the utilization rate while maintaining the reliability of the system. The protection scheme in this IPRB is critical to guarantee the operation in case of any fault. In this paper, the differential protection scheme of the IPRB is explained with simulation and field-testing results.

With more renewable energy sources fed through power electronics converters (PECs) connected to the grid, their controllers are adapted to incorporate virtual inertia loops to help maintain the grid inertia originally provided by synchronous generators (SG). Such converters are referred to as virtual synchronous generators (VSGs). Virtual synchronous generator-based control consists of three main blocks: governor model, virtual inertia control loop and automatic voltage regulator. Among them, governor model block is mostly overlooked. This work investigates the effect of its low pass filter (LPF) on microgrid (MG) large signal stability. A mathematical model of a virtual inertia controller, including LPF, is first introduced. As the model becomes non-autonomous, this study relies on a geometrical approach to demonstrate its impact rather than analytical one. A case study of a LPF with different time delays (bandwidth) is conducted to show its impact on VSG large signal dynamics.","PeriodicalId":374979,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th International Symposium on Power Electronics for Distributed Generation Systems (PEDG)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117160051","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 comparison between two control schemes reveals that PCM-based control has better stability and is easier to control than VMC-based control. Next, Matlab/Simulink simulation is implemented to compare and evaluate the VMC-based control and PCM-based control performance. The simulation results show that PCM-based DMCI has 1.01% output total harmonic distortion(THD) versus 2.66% for VMC-based control. At the same time, the power device voltage stress almost maintains at the same level. Moreover, the PCM-based DMCI possesses instantaneous startup tracking while the VMC-based control has 0.07 s tracking lag. Further, the DMCI performance based on two control regimes is compared when 50% load step change and 10% input step change occur.
