Furthermore the simple dual integrator based architecture of a SOGI filter facilitates frequency adaptation, for example as is used in motor drive applications. However a consequence of this simple architecture is that the digital form of the SOGI filter is highly susceptible to discretization errors which can compromise the converter steady state tracking accuracy. This paper now presents an alternative state-space approach to realise accurate discrete SOGI filters using Hold and Tustin (pre-warp) methods. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been verified using simulation and experimental investigations of an inverter interfaced to a distorted grid and controlled using multiple harmonic SOGI filters.","PeriodicalId":403316,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 2nd Annual Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131289175","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 order to study its applications at medium frequency, different converter topologies should be simulated and analysed. In this paper, planar litz wire is compared with solid conductor in the transformer embedded in HF-link isolated DC-DC converters. Its pros and cons are discussed in detail.

These stages decouple each battery string voltage from the associated H-bridge capacitor voltage. Decoupling prevents second harmonic current ripple flowing in the batteries and compensates for variation in battery voltage due to state of charge. Instead of parallel-connected converters, this paper proposes use of series-connected fractionally-rated dc-dc conversion stages. Series-connected converters are shown to maintain the benefits of voltage decoupling but with significantly lower power ratings than their parallel-connected counterparts. Lower power ratings can facilitate a reduction in semiconductor losses and a lower cost for the BESS.","PeriodicalId":403316,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 2nd Annual Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115088410","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 grid emulator is controlled to reproduce the typical grid fault behaviors (under-voltage, interruption, frequency variation, fault-ride-through etc.) for the equipment under test (EUT). In past several different commercial grid emulators were coming out one after the other, and recently the switching mode voltage source inverter is getting more and more attention as an alternative PHiL grid emulator. Most of commercial GEs have a satisfied performance of the typical grid steady and transient emulation. However, these products mainly have a very limited bandwidth and lower dynamic response. Therefore, this project investigates a new topology of the VSI inverters by using the magnetic coupling. And the final PHiL system performs high power capability and high dynamic response at same time. A down-scaled 5kVA prototype of proposed grid emulator was implemented. A RL-load bank and a rectifier-load are used to represent the two different types of EUT.

An accurate temperature estimation can be achieved by means of high-order lumped parameter thermal networks. In variable-speed drives the thermal networks are parameter-varying due to the speed dependency of the convective heat transfer. These high-order parameter-varying models require a high calculation effort. For online temperature estimation it is desirable to reduce the order of the model. This paper presents an easy-to-implement model order reduction method for linear parameter-varying thermal model, which makes the model suitable for real-time online temperature estimation. The concept is exemplarily shown on an air-cooled induction motor for automotive applications. A high-order thermal model is built up and reduced using the proposed algorithm.

In recent times, the power quality has been a major research concern due to changing regulations, liberalized distribution market and increased use of power electronic based equipment. The first step of any remedial action requires proper identification of PQ events. One of the major challenge of this event identification is to extract significant features from the limited measurements, which can subsequently be used for the classification. Therefore, in the present study Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) has been used to obtain several mathematical features. These features can segregate both single and simultaneous PQ event occurrences. Further to improve the classification performance, the ELM based classifier has been used. This classifier significantly reduces the training time by many-fold. The performance of the proposed approach has been compared with ANN based classifier considering over 1000 PQ signals from various PQ events. The results of the simulation demonstrate that the proposed approach can achieve over 99% classification accuracy.","PeriodicalId":403316,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 2nd Annual Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114217527","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}
