In this paper, we analyzes the influences from a) novel wide-bandgap power converters; and b) distributed resources, e.g. solar, fuel cell, battery, etc., on the energy/fuel utilization (EFU) of 400Vdc distribution network and 208Vac distribution network. The efficiency gain and EFU are discussed and demonstrated by the system study of a 25.5kW distribution network. The study reveals that there is no side-effect but a little gain in EFU by using 400Vdc distribution network over 208Vac distribution network, even there is no distributed energy resource available. And the efficiency gain increases along with the amount of distributed resources installation.","PeriodicalId":411916,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 12th International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems (PEDS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116252644","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 power supply is based on a five three-phase NPC inverters, with common dc-link, rated for a total power of about 60MW and for an output voltage of 6.5kV, using IGCTs as switching components. A large, distributed, capacitor bank is connected at the dc-link side of the inverters, with huge amount of stored energy, as high as 760kJ during nominal operation. In case of internal short-circuit of one inverter leg, due for example to a failure of one IGCT, this energy is discharged into the faulty leg, potentially leading to explosion and fault propagation. Simulations have been performed in order to analyze, select and design the most suitable protection to avoid this risk.","PeriodicalId":411916,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 12th International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems (PEDS)","volume":"17 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120853371","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}

It is shown that the proposed method is very straightforward with calculation demands comparable to the multi-phase space vector PWM, and furthermore, it is possible easily to modify the proposed algorithm for converters with different number of phases.

It is also a flexible tool because it evaluates an arbitrary cost function which directly influences converter behavior according to particular demand (i.e. shape of the current, switching frequency, switching losses etc.). However, some drawbacks of FCS-MPC, such as variable switching frequency or steady-state error, have also been reported. The limitation is also in the fact that efficient calculation is available only for very short prediction horizon (mostly one-step-ahead), otherwise the computational demand increases significantly. In this paper, we present a comparison and evaluation of the FCS-MPC improved with an approximation by an LQR (which enables an extension to long prediction horizons) and a widely used control with PI controller with space vector modulation (SVM). The comparison is performed on current-source rectifier (CSR) in terms of output current tracking quality, input current THD and switching frequency. Final results will be introduced by simulation study in MATLAB/Plecs and laboratory experiments.","PeriodicalId":411916,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 12th International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems (PEDS)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132704601","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}
