However, various problems such as the burden of unbalanced loads, parallel operation of multiple inverters, and harmonics of the system voltage received from household electric loads can arise when constructing an MG in an emergency using a domestic single-phase three-wire (1P3W) system. Therefore, we introduce a new VSG method for 1P3W systems to address these issues. This method is based on the previously proposed VSG methods for three-phase and single-phase two-wire systems. In this paper, we demonstrate that a small-capacity inverter with two VSGs can stably supply electrical power to 1P3W home appliances.","PeriodicalId":6610,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Niigata 2018 -ECCE Asia)","volume":"87 1","pages":"767-774"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88169982","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}

During the intentional islanding of an inverter-based micro-grid, the grid-forming inverters (GFI) are responsible for voltage control, similarly as in the case of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). The unterminated model of GFI can be developed by considering the load as an ideal current sink. Thus, the load impedance always affects the dynamic behavior of the GFI. This paper proposes a method, to analyze how the dynamics of GFI and the controller design are affected by the load. Particularly, how the frequency response of the voltage loop gain changes according to the load and, how it can be used to the predict time-domain step response. The frequency responses that are measured from a hardware-in-the-loop simulator are used to verify and illustrate explicitly the load effect.","PeriodicalId":6610,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Niigata 2018 -ECCE Asia)","volume":"34 1","pages":"963-970"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77754202","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 approach provides accurate and repeatable results in case of silicon based transistors in all cases. For certain compound semiconductor components, such as SiC MOSFET-s and GaN HEMT structures, the application of the electrical test method becomes in some cases challenging. If traditional test setups are used, in the unit step response function, due to parasitic effects, an electric signal may superpose on the thermal signal of interest, making it hard or even impossible to analyze the test results. If the structure has a physical diode as well, it can be used to understand the thermal properties of the package and its layers. This information can be applied in another step to gather the thermal properties from die transistors’ point of view as well, without measuring it. In this article we show a combined measurement and simulation based method, which allows the accurate thermal characterization of such components, even in cases when other approaches may fail.","PeriodicalId":6610,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Niigata 2018 -ECCE Asia)","volume":"1 1","pages":"137-141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91317886","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}

Excessive harmonics and interharmonics may arise when the inverter starts to interact with the grid impedance. Small-signal impedance models have been proven to be useful tools to analyze the stability margins. However, most often the grid voltage feedforward loop employed by the inverter is not included in impedance-based analysis. To fill this gap, this paper presents an impedance model, which includes the effect of feedforward, to analyze impedance-based stability in the presence of large grid impedance. The model is verified by impedance measurements from a laboratory prototype. The model is shown to give accurate prediction of small-signal stability when the Nyquist stability-criterion is applied. Thus, the model can be used to re-shape the inverter impedance to avoid stability problems. The developed impedance model will also provide a useful tool to monitor stability margins online, which necessitates adaptive impedance-shaping of grid-connected inverters.","PeriodicalId":6610,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Niigata 2018 -ECCE Asia)","volume":"15 1","pages":"3156-3163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82321553","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 impact of the PLL on the small-signal stability of VSC has recently been revealed, yet its influence on the transient stability of the VSC has seldom been addressed. This paper thus presents a comprehensive analysis on the transient stability effect of the PLL. It points out that the conventional equal-area criterion (EAC), which is used to analyze the transient stability of the synchronous generator (SG), cannot be extended to analyze the PLL effect, even though a dynamic analogy between the PLL and the swing equation of the SG can be found. The phase portrait is thus used in this work, and it shows that the long settling time and a high damping ratio of the PLL can enhance the transient stability of the VSC. Finally, the experimental tests are performed to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.","PeriodicalId":6610,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Niigata 2018 -ECCE Asia)","volume":"13 1","pages":"2673-2680"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89737498","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}
