This paper introduces an isolated step-down impedance control network (ICN) resonant dc-dc converter that utilizes enhanced inverter and rectifier phase-shifts to achieve both soft-switching and output voltage regulation. Compared to previously presented ICN converters, which utilize burst-mode control to achieve output voltage regulation, this ICN converter with the proposed enhanced phase-shift...
There are two unbalanced conditions for cascaded converter in Renewable Energy Source (RES) system. One is from the different output power of RES in bridge cells, and the other is grid voltage unbalanced fault. This paper presents a flexible voltage control technique of Modular Multilevel Cascaded Converter with single-delta bridge cells (MMCC-SDBC) in the RES system for maintaining the stable operation...
Unbalanced voltage has adverse effects on power electronic interfacing converters (IFCs) operation such as output power oscillations, DC link voltage oscillations and peak current increase. These adverse effects can be aggregated in parallel IFCs with common DC and AC link, which are commonly used to connect AC and DC subsystems in hybrid AC/DC microgrid or to interface high-power distributed generations/storage...
This paper presents a power reference modifier for seamless transfer considering the power balance in the parallel operation. When the PCS (Power Conditioning System) is disconnected from the grid, the PCS should operate in the stand-alone mode to supply energy to the critical loads. If multiple PCSs work as one PCS, slave PCSs maintain the current control mode even if master PCS change its control...
This paper proposes a new decentralized power management and load sharing method for a photovoltaic based, hybrid single/three-phase islanded microgrid consisting of various PV units, battery units and hybrid PV/battery units. The proposed method takes into account the available PV power and battery conditions of the units to share the load among them and power flow among different phases is performed...
The three-phase dual-active bridge (DAB3) converter is a promising topology for high-power conversion in future dc grids due to bidirectional power flow, inherent soft-switching capability and reduced filter size. However, the conventional single phase-shift control (SPS) does not allow the soft-switching operation with large voltage variations in light load conditions. This paper proposes an asymmetrical...
This paper proposed a distributed control method for dc microgrid to ensure the proportional load sharing by taking into account the different line impedance. In the proposed method, the operation point of each DG is effectively defined based on the power rating and the instantaneous power of the DG to achieve the proportional load power sharing. A low bandwidth communication is used to transmit the...
In the case of a wide-scale adoption of grid-connected Photovoltaic (PV) systems, more fluctuated power will be injected into the grid due to the intermittency of solar PV energy. A sudden change in the PV power can potentially induce grid voltage fluctuations, and thus challenge the stability of the grid. Hence, this sudden active power change resulting in a large power ramp-rate should be avoided...
Applications such as under-sea power prefer dc current distribution in a series cable connection instead of dc voltage distribution due to the long distance and cable loss. Power converter modules employed in these scenarios have a constant current input. In this paper, steady state analysis and unique design considerations are presented for the series resonant converter topology with constant current...
This paper proposes a model predictive control strategy for power flow optimisation between battery energy storage systems distributed in a DC Microgrid. The proposed control strategy uses a new convex formulation of the DC microgrid dynamic optimal power flow problem, based on a static voltage-current model and linear power flow approximations. Unlike optimisation strategies based on a single bus...
