It is necessary to connect several MOSFETs in parallel in order to increase current capabilities. However, transient imbalance peak currents during turn-on and -off processes challenge the performance and reliability of parallel MOSFETs. This paper considers the impact factors of device parameters, asymmetrical power circuit layout and circuit parasitic analytically to reveal the imbalance current peaks. The turn-on and -off transient conditions are studied and mathematically investigated. In master-slave configuration, a fully analogue active gate driver is designed and implemented to suppress the imbalance current among parallel silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs. In the proposed scheme, by exploiting an imbalance current detection circuit and I-controller in a negative feedback for the slave MOSFET, an appropriate control voltage is obtained. The output voltage of active gate driver is adjusted by the control voltage, whether positive or negative in turn-on and -off transient, in order to synchronize the peak currents of paralleled modules. Moreover, a detailed circuit of the designed compensator is presented and discussed.

First, different coil geometries are systematically evaluated using finite element analysis, aiming to identify designs that minimize electrical parameter variations, which can damage electronics and make the control more complex. Then, the most suitable compensation topology is determined through time-domain analysis, which is more accurate under dynamic conditions than the commonly used phasor-based approach.

Connection of AC energy sources and loads to the DC microgrids through AC/DC converters can distort the DC microgrids voltage and current. In addition, the fault occurrence in the DC or upstairs AC microgrids can cause voltage sag and swell. Compensating and reducing these voltage and current distortions requires efficient and cost-effective solutions. This article proposes two new topologies of DC series-parallel active compensators for voltage and current compensation in DC microgrids. In the first topology, the back-to-back connection of an isolated bidirectional DC/DC converter with a full-bridge converter is used to compensate voltage and current. In the second one, to eliminate the transformer, simplify the converter structure and reduce its cost, an active compensator based on a three-leg voltage source converter is proposed which can compensate both the microgrid voltage harmonics, sag and swell, and the load current harmonics.

As a solution for frequency modulation (FM), the battery energy storage system offers a promising alternative, enabling efficient frequency regulation while maintaining the state of charge (SOC) within an optimal range. This article proposes a master–slave FM strategy based on fuzzy control to facilitate SOC restoration during the FM process. Initially, the principles of FM for both control types are examined, focusing on the output characteristics of virtual sag control and virtual inertia control. Subsequently, a collaborative output approach combining sag control and inertia control is presented as the primary FM strategy, where frequency changes are analysed, and frequency deviations and SOC are regionally categorized. An adaptive regulator is then designed to dynamically allocate weights to the outputs of the sag and inertia slave FM controls. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed master–slave FM strategy.

In addition, averaged switch modelling is applied explicitly to derive a more accurate small-signal model of a low-side ACFC. The study revealed the presence of a non-minimum phase problem as the major adverse effect on the stability feature of the ACFC predesigned with soft-switching capability.
