Based on this study, the storage elements were dimensioned. The smoothing capability obtained by the hybrid storage system is analyzed in a DC-bus, in which the power balance can be analyzed. It is connected to the hybrid storage system, using two cascaded bidirectional buck-boost converters, to the generation source, and to the grid, where the last two are considered current sources. The theoretical development was validated, and the power balance in this DC-bus was analyzed by computational simulations.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"44 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":"130466958","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}

Permanent mismatch occurs in a PV system when the cells or modules have different electrical and/or constructive characteristics, which in turn lead to the reduction of the extracted power. This subject is an important emerging topic that has been narrowly addressed by researchers so far. In this context, this paper presents a study on the application of DPP in a PV string with permanent mismatch. A four-module string connected to PV-to-PV architecture employing the bidirectional buck-boost converter is assessed in detail. The results show that the use of a DPP converter in a string composed of modules with different specifications can increase the energy harvesting significantly.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"66 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":"134568828","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 low frequency ripple reduction allows to increase the converter power density by reducing the volume of the DC-bus inductor, without lack of stiffness at the DC-bus. The low frequency reduction is achieved by using a different single-phase CSR topology that uses the well known X-type CSC approach which allows reduction in conducting losses and independent control for two CSCs which share the same DC-bus and the middle switches of the leg. Details of topology, control strategy and modulation are presented.

Therefore, the development of accurate reduced-order (R-O) microgrid models plays a fundamental role in the deployment of this concept. On the other hand, the virtual impedance techniques are essential for power decoupling and microgrid damping. However, the virtual impedance representation in R-O models has not been properly addressed in the literature. Hence, this paper explores two different alternatives for the virtual impedance representation in a reduced-order (R-O) microgrid model: i. the inclusion of virtual impedance inside the network model using Kron reduction; and ii. The inclusion of virtual impedance inside the grid-forming converter model. It was found that for low values of the voltage droop coefficient, both approaches provide similar results. However, as the voltage droop coefficient increases, the second alternative leads to more accurate results. Simulation and experimental results are presented in order to validate the analysis done.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"29 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":"126048278","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}

Therefore, considering that the power supply of mobile devices is limited by the battery capacity, an accurate method to measure power consumption in mobile devices is necessary. However, the current hardware approach used by researchers and industry can cause damage in non-removable battery devices or it may require a long time to measure precisely the power consumption on smartphones. In this paper, we use a new non-invasive method to measure the energy consumed by smartphones. The evaluation results confirm that this method ensures support for all models of smartphones that use the Android operational system based with Linux kernel so far. The switch mode method has an accuracy of 98,18% when compared with the current method used by industry and avoids the high costs of the invasive approaches. The power consumption of important features of a smartphone were measured and divided in five classes. The results show that camera, display, speaker and 5G are the hardware components with highest power consumption compared to the other parts of the smartphone. As future work, the results obtained shall be used to describe a model to estimate and reduce the high power consumption from hardware consumption classes.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"92 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":"128973448","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}

Nevertheless, the non- minimum phase characteristics of such converter makes the control design complex. Therefore, this paper presents a complete modelling and control methodology which allows the integration of the Y-Source inverter (YSI) in a stand-alone single-phase photovoltaic generation application.
