This paper presents a simple procedure to tune the current and energy control loops of the MMC, based on standard PI controllers and resembles control tuning approaches commonly used for 2-Level Voltage Source Converters (2L-VSC). The control design is based on a recently proposed simplified model of the MMC which is able to accurately represent the interface variables dynamics on the ac- and dc-side, which are considered as the main variables of concern from a macroscopic point of view. Furthermore, the tuning methodology guarantees the stable behaviour and correct tracking of the states. The paper presents simulation results of a typical case under the proposed tuning procedure.","PeriodicalId":395329,"journal":{"name":"2017 Twelfth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125908925","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 system combines a traditional Vapor Compression Cycle (VCC) with a liquid desiccant cycle (LDC), by taking advantage of an innovative component, called Three-Fluids Combined Membrane Contactor (3F-CMC). The approaches that can be adopted by the XERIC system to face the different seasonal needs are shown and commented. Moreover, numerical models developed in the Matlab/Simulink environment and used to predict the system performance are presented. Finally, first results regarding the experimental campaign performed to link the VCC and the LDC are discussed.","PeriodicalId":395329,"journal":{"name":"2017 Twelfth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134472062","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 causes undesired deviations in the machine's performance and behavior. In particular, the equivalent circuit parameters of the machine are affected. Therefore, the validity of the electrical parameters of a reference machine is doubtful for sample machines. In this work, a sensitivity analysis by design of experiments is carried out over the whole torque-speed characteristic map. This analysis is done in order to investigate the influence of design variables (e.g. air gap) on the electrical parameters. The aim is to show the importance of paying an attention to the deviations of parameters resulting from tolerances, to identify how the parameter deviation trend is, and which geometrical parameters have the most significant impact on the machine parameters. The study is done using finite element method for an induction machine for electric vehicles by changing the design variables in the tolerance band. Analysis results show that a mathematical model, that describes the deviations of electrical parameters, can be extracted.","PeriodicalId":395329,"journal":{"name":"2017 Twelfth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114528533","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}

BESS with LCL filter is charged from the diesel generator when state of charge of battery bank is insufficient, and the current control of BESS may become unstable since a large synchronous inductance of diesel generator may generate a LCL filter resonance. No damping, Passive damping and active damping are applied to the current control so as to damp out a filter resonance and improve stability. Influence of the synchronous inductance is analyzed in the frequency domain and discrete time domain. The stable current control is guaranteed, and current waveforms are improved regardless of the significant synchronous inductance of diesel generator.","PeriodicalId":395329,"journal":{"name":"2017 Twelfth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"178 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121290637","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 system consists of three electronic switches, which allow two different voltage stages in the intermediate circuit.
