Thus, this paper proposes a space-vector pulsewidth modulation (SVPWM) based on the vector analysis of the switching states to reduce the common-mode voltage and improve the waveform quality. The model of a dual-inverter drive system was developed, so that was possible to identify the degrees of freedom that can be used to optimize the space-vector planes.

The proposed scheme comprises five stages that are continuously repeated until the dc voltages of the converters reach the peak value of the grid voltage on the side of the HVDC inverter. During the first stage, two thyristors control the current drained from the grid by the HVDC inverter in order to charge the capacitors of two arms of the MMC. Later, during the $2_{2}^{nd},3^{rd}, 4^{th}$ and $5^{th}$ stages, the energy stored in the SM capacitors during the first stage is transferred to the others SM dc capacitors of the inverter. In addition, two additional stages, the $4^{th}$ and $5^{th}$, are used to transfer part of the energy stored in the inverter's submodules capacitors to the upper and lower SMs of the rectifier. Results of digital simulations obtained with the PSCAD/EMTDC, as well as the mathematical description of each energizing stage, will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"9 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":"127910223","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 this scenario, silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET could be an interesting solution. Nevertheless, the SiC-MOSFET is quite expensive for devices with a high current rating. In this context, this work investigates the potential of power losses reduction provided by hybrid power modules in PV inverters. The hybrid power module is based on the parallel connection of a Si-IGBT and a SiC-MOSFET. This approach reduces the switching losses of Si-IGBT systems since the IGBT reaches soft switching. Also, this approach employs a lower SiC area than the full-SiC solution. The losses for the Si-IGBT and hybrid switch are obtained from double-pulse test LTSPICE simulations and compared.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"70 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":"121397392","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}

Among the technologies that implement this model, the Distributed Photovoltaic Generation stands out to have an easy installation process, a constant cost reduction of photovoltaic panels, and to allow bigger competitiveness, when compared to other sources. However, the excessive use of this technology can cause damage to distribution networks, impacting, for example, the electric current levels of the system. This paper shows an evaluation of current variability in a distribution network based on the IEEE 13 Node Test Feeder system through a simplified model of photovoltaic generators. The demand for the system loads and the power levels provided by the generators were varied according to load curve data and specific weather conditions. The results found show that the DG can directly impact on the levels of electric current of the feeder, where maximum variations of 94.08% and 90.66% were obtained for each of the two cities analyzed.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"35 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":"116310570","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}
