In the grid-connected DG system, the islanding detection function is essential to avoid dangers. However, the existing islanding detection techniques have non-detection zone (NDZ) which is easily affected by local load conditions. This paper proposes a novel islanding detection method integrating with a two-stage magnification inspection approach to facilitate diagnostics of islanding detection in DG systems. Based on the proposed method, the detection time is shortened with NDZ eliminated effectively. Besides, the possibility of malfunction and impact of load conditions are greatly reduced. The proposed method doesn’t need precise parameter setting for different applications. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method, a grid-connected prototype lab system with ratings of 250 W rated power and 200 Vdc/110 Vac voltage is simulated and implemented, a system which involves different load conditions and interference tests. The results indicate that the proposed method can operate reliably and satisfy the IEEE 1547 standard.","PeriodicalId":6610,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Niigata 2018 -ECCE Asia)","volume":"115 1","pages":"4233-4238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80627363","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 conventional method for analyzing the characteristics of an LLC resonant converter shows the characteristics of the load condition well, but it is difficult to analyze the characteristics of the no-load condition. Therefore, this study analyzed the no-load characteristics of an LLC resonant converter as a method to consider parasitic components and analyzed them in the time domain.

Moreover, the active switches and diodes are turned on with zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and off with zero-current switching (ZCS), respectively, thereby minimizing the switching losses. The operation principle is firstly detailed and then the converter characteristics are analyzed and compared.

In most cases, MRTSs are DC-electrified systems which include elements that exhibit different electrical states, i.e. traction substations may be in ON or OFF modes and braking trains may be in power or voltage (rheostat) modes. This adds complexity to the electrical problem to be solved by the simulator.The simulator developed by the authors in previous works includes a module in charge of determining the electrical states of all the elements in the system. The block, based on heuristic rules, demands high computation times under certain circumstances.This paper presents an upgrade of the heuristic block where artificial intelligence (AI) is used to obtain the electrical states of substations and trains. A neural network (NN) classification model is applied and compared with the previous approach by means of set of simulations. The results show that the NN approach outperforms the previous one.","PeriodicalId":6610,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Niigata 2018 -ECCE Asia)","volume":"51 1","pages":"2534-2539"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79803803","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}

Two high-pass filters are included in synchronous-reference-frame virtual impedance loop and are activated in steady-state operation to attenuate frequency and voltage magnitude deviations, meanwhile maintaining the autonomous current-sharing performance among the parallel inverters.
