This paper presents a grid-connected bi-directional modular multilevel converter (MMC) with division-summation (D-Σ) digital control to achieve power injection and rectification functions. The D-Σ digital control is adopted to track current reference, regulate dc-bus voltage and cell voltage, and balance the upper and lower dc-bus voltages. It can accommodate wide filter inductance variation and take...
This study investigates the cell voltages and arm currents in double-star modular multilevel converters (DSMMCs) based on power balance and current tracking control law. DSMMCs have been widely applied to static synchronous compensators, high-voltage direct-current transmission, back-to-back power transfer systems, wind/solar power generation and battery storage systems. The size of capacitors in...
This study presents design of D-Σ digital controlled hybrid-frequency inverters with LCL filter for grid-connected applications. Hybrid-frequency inverters consist of inverters with different frequencies and power ratings connected in parallel. The lower frequency inverter has higher power rating, while the higher frequency inverter has lower one. The inverters are controlled to cancel out low-frequency...
There has been a growing demand of using multi-function inverters for grid-connected systems applied to nonconventional energy sources, such as solar, wind and so on. In addition to power quality conditioning, the inverter can also be used for bidirectional active power exchange with a three-phase four-wire grid. Therefore, the inverter acts as a multi-function compensator. The functions of the proposed...
This paper presents a division-summation (D-Σ) digital control applied to a three-phase active power filter (APF) with a three-leg inverter. The three-leg inverter shapes the source current sinusoidally by injecting harmonic currents to compensate the load current. The proposed D-Σ digital control approach summarizes the inductor-current variations over one switching cycle to derive control laws directly,...
This paper presents filter-capacitor current compensation for Division-Summation (D-Σ) digital controlled singlephase bi-directional inverter with LCL filter to reduce grid-current distortion. The single-phase bi-directional inverter allows wide filter-inductance variation and it can operate in grid-connection mode and rectification mode with power factor correction. With the D-Σ digital control,...
This paper presents design and implementation of a paralleled active power filter (APF) system with current sharing controller (CSC) and load-path control center (LPCC). This system can filter harmonic currents, compensate reactive power and improve power factor. In the system, each APF module is directly tied to the load, source and buses, and there is no need of communication with other modules...
