The presented paper proposes a new family of DC/DC step-up converters with three-windings magnetic coupling and two voltage multiplier cells. The use of voltage-boosting technique allows the topologies to achieve high voltage gain with smaller duty cycle and turn ratio. The voltage stress across the power switch is reduced. As a result, low on-state resistance MOSFET can be employed, minimizing conduction loss. Moreover, the switch operates with zero-current switching at turn-on time. This leads to negligible turn-on switching loss. Additionally, all diodes turn off with zero-current switching, eliminating reverse recovery losses. The proposed family features, operating principles and simulation results are also discussed in the paper.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133629958","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 active current doubler rectifier (ACD) uses current unidirectional two-quadrant switches in order to provide such control for applications that might require it. However, literature on the models that are able to effectively predict the dynamics of such active rectifiers is lacking. This, the ACD is modeled here based on dynamic phasors in a state space form for its resonant operation. The developed models show how the switching phase affects this rectifier currents and voltages, and provides an important tool to design control loops. An LC resonant tank is exemplarily used with the ACD. However, the procedure can be applied to other types of topologies.

Therefore, adequate control systems are necessary to guarantee the operation of the WECSs. For this reason, this work proposes to develop a direct drive wind energy conversion system model with a rated power of 10 MW, following the trends in the offshore wind energy market. The main objective is to provide the literature with a wind system with current characteristics and a complete control system, allowing detailed studies of dynamic interaction, power quality, stability analysis and control strategies applied to grid-connected systems, including low voltage ride through (LVRT) operation. In general, the proposed system was divided into four energy conversion subsystems: wind turbine (WT), permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), rectifier and inverter stages.

Moreover, as long as PLLs basically estimate the system phase from voltages on their point of coupling to the grid, the grid synchronization is subjected to errors due to the digital-to-analog conversion and signal processing through conditioning circuits.

Nowadays, many LOM detection methods have been designed to be excessively sensitive to comply with some standards requirements which only accept tight non-detection zones (NDZ). As a result, false islanding detection events has been often observed resulting in undesirable IBR disconnections. On the other hand, recent grid -connection stan-dards have included some immunity requirements to avoid false islanding detections since they can result in electric grid. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the immunity of some commercial IBR under different grid disturbances such as power frequency drifts and voltage sags. It was considered for this evaluation some grid-connected photovoltaic inverters which comply with Brazilian standard NBR 16149. Results show that some commercial equipment disconnect under normal voltage/frequency grid oscillations. Therefore it is demonstrated that Brazilian standards for IBR may consider additional tests to improve the resilience of the electric system.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134233027","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}
