The long-term exposure to sufficient stray voltage can be harmful to human being's and animals' health. The stray voltage in the low voltage network is generally related to the load unbalance, grounding condition and network structure. Through analytical study and detailed system simulations, this paper makes a sensitivity study on how serious these factors affect the stray voltage in low voltage networks. Therefore some recommendations can be formulated to prevent the excessive stray voltage. On the other hand, this paper also provides guidance on how to identify the cause of excessive stray voltage incidence if it is detected.","PeriodicalId":6857,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (IPEMC-ECCE Asia)","volume":"18 1","pages":"2571-2576"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74354297","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}

In these conditions, the cells receiving a lower level of irradiance can absorb power instead of producing it. Bypass diodes are used to reduce the impact of shadowing effect and to protect the solar panel. In this paper, the shadowing effect on a panel is analyzed. A single diode solar cell model is built from datasheet values and the parameters are used to obtain the Simulink model of the panel with irradiance for each cell as a variable. Bypass diodes are used across every 10 cells in the panel and shadowing effect on this system is studied. A maximum power point tracking system using the perturb and observe algorithm and a buck converter are also added to the system. The simulation results show that the model derived is accurate. When the irradiance level is changed, the percentage increase in the maximum power point (MPP) is almost equal to the percentage increase in the incident irradiance level on the panel. Additionally, when bypass diodes are added to the system, higher values of MPP can be obtained during a partial shadow. However, they also introduce multiple local MPP into the system and this cause the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm to get stuck at a local maximum instead of the global maximum in some cases.","PeriodicalId":6857,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (IPEMC-ECCE Asia)","volume":"39 1","pages":"3508-3513"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72627201","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}

This paper starts from the non-sinusoidal change law of the back-EMF of the BLDCM, and introduces the back-EMF space vector, then obtains the armature current space vector based on the equivalent principle of torque, then gains the conclusion that electromagnetic torque is direct proportion to the q axis component of the resultant current vector by normalization processing for the back-EMF space vector. So the electromagnetic torque can be controlled by the q axis component of the resultant current vector. In addition, considering that the BLDCM usually adopts half-bridge modulation method, so this paper also chooses the half-bridge modulation method which has the upcoming and outgoing phase to PWM chopper control in each sector, and realizes the decoupling control of the duty cycles of the upcoming and outgoing phase. Finally, simulations by Matlab and experiments with DSP are presented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed strategy.","PeriodicalId":6857,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (IPEMC-ECCE Asia)","volume":"2 1","pages":"2564-2570"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75128108","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}

These control methods play different roles in reducing torque ripples, increasing total output torque and getting maximum efficiency in different speed range.For example, DITC can reduce torque ripples at low speed obviously while it does not work out at high speed. TSF can reduce torque ripples efficiently at high speed but, in the meantime, it leads to total output torque decrease. CCC can output higher torque compared with previous two control methods, however its torque ripples is higher at high speed . In this paper, these three control methods are introduced and their performances are compared in terms of torque ripples and maximum output torque in order to further understand their inherent characteristics. Torque ripple-speed performance and the maximum output torque-speed performance of these control methods are obtained based on simulation results.

In this paper, a new topology of DCES is proposed based on DC/DC converters. The proposed DCES consists of a bi-directional paralleled buck-boost converters (BBCs), a bi-directional phase-shift full-bridge converter (PSFBC) and an H-bridge circuit. Three basic operating modes of the proposed DCES can be achieved, and namely voltage boosting mode, voltage balancing mode and voltage suppression mode. Strategy of constant charging and/or constant discharging for batteries is adopted and four operating modes are analyzed as charging-positive, charging-negative, discharging-positive and discharging-negative modes. An additional mechanism for fast charging or fast discharging is also designed to secure normal operation of batteries. With the proposed DCES, the power fluctuations due to intermittent RESs can be passed to non-critical loads (NCLs) and batteries while power on critical loads (CLs) is kept stable. This is possibly the first attempt to design a DCES with only DC/DC converters. The performances of the proposed DCES are simulated, which validate the effectiveness of the proposed DCES and its control.","PeriodicalId":6857,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (IPEMC-ECCE Asia)","volume":"18 1","pages":"3268-3273"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79066914","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}
