However, grid voltage imbalances can cause serious oscillations in active power and system frequency, thus severely limiting the effectiveness of VSGs. Consequently, this study proposes an adaptive control strategy to enhance the dynamic performance of VSG under an imbalanced grid voltage. Compared to conventional VSG control methods, the proposed approach enables dynamic adjustment of the inertia and damping coefficients based on the output angular frequency oscillations, so as to shorten the settling time and reduce active power overshoot. The error-driven adaptive mechanism forms a closed-loop control, which effectively keeps the system stable regardless of parameter variations. Additionally, it combines with balanced output current (BOC), constant active power (CAP), and constant reactive power (CRP) control modes to further improve effectiveness. Finally, verifications have been conducted in the MATLAB/SIMULINK and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environment to demonstrate the superiority and feasibility of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"5 ","pages":"722-736"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10595133","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141609699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bolstering of frequency stabilization is achieved by the integration of aggregated electric vehicle storage into the IMG. Adaptive tuning of the fuzzy rule-based load frequency controller's parameters is facilitated by a novel quasi-oppositional prairie dog technique (QOPDT), developed within this study. A comprehensive comparison is conducted between the efficacy of the QOPDT technique and various other optimization methods. Significant improvements in system frequency stability across diverse scenarios are observed with the adoption of the QOPDT-based controller, as evidenced by qualitative assessment.

A key performance index of voltage clamping circuits is the overvoltage ratio, which calculates the peak switching overvoltage over the nominal voltage during fault interruption processes. A lower overvoltage ratio is beneficial to minimize the dcCB insulation voltage and reduce the total breaker cost, meanwhile alleviating the overvoltage interference to the dc bus and, thus, enhancing the stability of the dc power system. This article evaluates the overvoltage ratio of various clamping circuits reported in dcCB literature. The basic working principles, switching overvoltage magnitude, advantages, and limitations of different voltage clamping circuits are evaluated by circuit simulations. A capacitor-metal–oxide varistor (C-MOV) circuit is selected for experimental validation considering its specifically low overvoltage ratio. The C-MOV prototype is verified with high-power tests at 1 kV dc bus. The measured overvoltage ratio of the C-MOV prototype matches parametric analyses. The effects of stray inductance and fault rise rate on the overvoltage ratio are also experimentally validated. Finally, the C-MOV circuit is compared with other voltage clamping circuits in the literature to demonstrate its benefits and limitations in dcCB applications.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"5 ","pages":"651-662"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10577240","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141500731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article introduces the concept of Cartesian/articular control for delayed bilateral teleoperation of a mobile manipulator, where the follower robot aims to execute the rate/nonlinear-position commands issued by a human handling the leader robot through a proposed hybrid mapping. We implement a P+d controller applied in Cartesian space for the leader while a controller based on inverse kinematics in joint space is employed for the follower, taking advantage of its redundancy. We then propose a Lyapunov–Krasovskii candidate function to analyze theoretically and numerically the time derivative of the functional on the system trajectories. As a result, we derive the conditions that the proposed hybrid mapping and controller parameters must satisfy to ensure bounded errors.

The required number of components significantly increases when higher modularity is introduced for the given voltage level, thus reducing the system's reliability. This article suggests a mixed redundancy strategy (MRS) that combines the operational concepts using active and spare redundant submodules. It is shown that more than 50% higher B10 lifetime (the point in time when the system has a 90% probability of survival) is achievable as compared to reliability improvement using fixed-level active redundancy strategy, load-sharing active redundancy strategy, and standby redundancy strategy with the same number of redundant submodules. The tradeoff between operational efficiency and investment cost is explored to define the boundary for selecting the MRS over other redundancy strategies with varying dc-link voltages and average converter loading, considering a ten-year payback period and equivalent B10 lifetime. The change in viability boundary for the MRS is established with increasing B10 lifetime and its sensitivity to power electronic component costs and assumed failure rate.
