This paper presents an alternative 24-Pulse Converter System (CS-24P) to reduce the 11th and 13th filters in AC supply system, initially installed in traditional 12-pulse rectifiers (CS-12P) in more electric aircraft systems. The topological structure of the proposed CS-24P comprises two special three-phase three winding transformers and four 6-pulse three-phase AC-DC converters connected in series on the DC side of the system. To show the advantages of the proposed CS-24P compared with the traditional CS-12P used with AC and DC filters, computer simulations were carried out using Matlab/Simulink software to prove the theoretical analysis performed with the help of the MathCad program. The theoretical and simulation results show that the total harmonic distortion (% THD) of the input current for the CS-24P is equal to 6.60% at 60 Hz and 2.92% at 400 Hz, respectively, which meets the IEEE-519 and MIL-STD-704F requirements. Furthermore, the ripple amplitude obtained of DC voltage is less than 6 V (maximum), which meets the RTCA-DO-160F aeronautical standard. Also, it is shown that in comparison with the traditional CS-12P, the proposed CS-24P presents a satisfactory performance in terms of % THD of AC current and voltage, power factor, ripple amplitude (peak to mean) and ripple factor of DC voltage. A laboratory prototype was designed and executed using available laboratory resources to validate the research. The obtained results confirm the technical feasibility and applicability of the proposed prototype in aircraft systems.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"10 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":"117290293","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}

Galvanic isolation aims to comply with the safety standards established in some countries for photovoltaic systems. This paper initially presents the theoretical foundation for the proposed topology. Then the converter operation stages are described, allowing the equation of each stage. A more accurate expression for the gain is shown, as it considers the influence of the converter's transformer leakage inductance.

The experimental parameters obtained from the photovoltaic panel and the transformer are presented below, allowing for quantitative simulation analyses.

The motor drive system has two control loops, an inner one for the armature current and an outer one for the speed. The tuning of the current controller is kept unchanged and the PSO is used to tune only the speed regulator. The integral of the absolute speed error is used as the fitness criteria, therefore, the faster the speed response meets the speed demand, the better the particle or individual that represents the tuning. The searching space which represents possible values of the proportional and integral controller gains was limited to keep the system linear. Then, one may know in advance which tuning is the best and the algorithm is put to the test before the changing of some important parameters, such as inertia weight and cognitive and social coefficients. To make the task a little more difficult, the drive system was made non-linear by adding a limit to the controller's output and the PSO was used to do the same job with same parameter variation within the algorithm. Simulation results are presented showing the capability of the PSO algorithm to quickly find the best tuning for the speed controller, representing an important tool for optimization problems.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"49 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":"122699442","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}

Mathematical thermal modeling is an important tool in the analysis of the operating behavior of the solar inverter. Papers on this subject are rare in the literature. This work analyzes an inverter thermal modeling method and validates it through laboratory experiments. This work also makes a comparison with another method found in the literature, based on linear regression.

This work aims to explore the third harmonic circulating current injection to minimize energy storage requirements, since this method changes the shape of the capacitor voltage waveform. Initially, the expression of the sum of the capacitor voltages is analytically derived. Then, the third harmonic injection is evaluated based on 17 MVA/13.8 kV Delta-HUB case study with 24 cells per cluster. Also, the methodology was evaluated with an experimental setup based on 500 VA/220 V submodule.
