As a result, many utility authorities have put up new codes and regulations to test the LVRT capability, while the converter manufacturers and the certification institutes have developed various test benches for the LVRT tests. Unlike those traditional test benches using physical devices, the Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform offers much more flexibility and safer test environment, since electric grid and apparatus are digitally emulated on a real-time simulator (RTS). However, the RTS must feature an advanced solver, a fast processor and ultra-low latency to ensure the high fidelity of a simulation. This paper presents the configuration of a flexible test bench to test the LVRT capability of solar energy converters using the FPGA-based RTS. Besides flexibility, the accuracy of the RTS was demonstrated by comparing the real-time simulation result with the reference given by an offline simulation.","PeriodicalId":6857,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (IPEMC-ECCE Asia)","volume":"22 1","pages":"2765-2769"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82611498","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}

A staked dual half-bridge converter (DHB) is integrated into a non-isolated bidirectional buck/boost converter to achieve the bidirectional power transmission between any two of the three ports. With the shared switching bridge in the low voltage side, the number of active switches is reduced. Thanks to the integration structure, low voltage stress on the active switches and high voltage conversion ratio will be achieved. PPS control strategy is employed to provide two control freedoms and single-stage power conversion between any two of the three ports is achieved. What's more, with PPS control scheme, wide range voltage/power regulation and soft-switching of all the low-voltage and high-voltage side active switches can be realized. Operational principles, control strategy and characteristics of the analyzed converter are presented.

The common passive solution based on a RCD snubber is simple but impractical when the value of the leakage inductance is significant. In other hands, passive regenerative solutions generally compromise the isolation, making the search for a suitable snubber a challenge. In this paper, an effective passive regenerative snubber cell for isolated DCM SEPIC converters is presented. It is intended to improve the converter efficiency by transferring the energy stored in the transformer leakage inductance to the output.

In this paper, an optimal power scheduling for generation and demand side is presented to manage an islanded hybrid PV-wind-battery microgrid implemented in Shanghai-China. The optimization is addressed through a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) mathematical model, wherein the disconnection of the load and not charging the battery when there is surplus of energy are penalized while physical constraints and requirements for a feasible deployment in the real system are considered.

However, the current distortion resulted from the existence of filter inductor at current zero-crossing point deteriorates the grid current. The traditional injection of zero-sequence component (IZSC) doesn't work well when the modulation index exceeds a certain value. This paper first analyses the mechanism of the current zero-crossing distortion and the application scope of the IZSC, and proposes a novel method which combines the IZSC with the compensation of lagging reactive power. Compared with the IZSC, this approach overcomes the limited application of the modulation index and ensures three-phase current without zero crossing distortion. It also guarantees minimum compensation of reactive power, that is, Vienna Rectifier can achieve the maximum power factor. Simultaneously, this method is extremely simple to be realized by carrier modulation. Finally, the simulation results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.","PeriodicalId":6857,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (IPEMC-ECCE Asia)","volume":"67 1","pages":"2325-2331"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73753740","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}

For wide range variations of input voltage and load conditions of DC-DC converters, we firstly divide the pre-defined global operation space into local subspaces where each local linear compensator is designed for the corresponding subspace, and then all the local linear compensators are weighted into single controller structure. By doing so, the weighted controller can automatically decide which local linear compensator regulates the dynamics of DC-DC converter according to the operation conditions, and thus has the capability of self-adaptation to wide range of operating point variations. Furthermore, the prominent feature underlying the weighted control scheme is also that the nonlinearities of DC-DC converters is easily to be handled by linear compensation approaches that can be easily implemented with analog or digital control circuitries. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this controller structure, a stand-alone DC-DC converter and a cascaded DC-DC converter system are taken as examples by simulation and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":6857,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (IPEMC-ECCE Asia)","volume":"2014 1","pages":"64-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73891795","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}
