In order to improve the power quality of wind power generation system, a direct power control (DPC) strategy of open-winding brushless doubly-fed generator (BDFG) system based on dual converters is presented in this paper. The control method is divided into two parts: the grid side converter control and the machine side converter control. In terms of the grid side converter, a model predictive-based...
This paper presents a method to shed off the least important loads in a microgrid operated at constant frequency under the contingency of inadequate power generation. Different from conventional frequency deviation based load shedding, this paper discusses in detail how to shed off load based on the voltage deviation. The key issue is to differentiate whether the voltage deviation is due to sudden...
According to the requirement of the power factor and the dynamic performance of the asynchronous machine tool field, an asynchronous motor inverter with active power factor correction is proposed. The proposed inverter is a 3kW asynchronous motor drive control platform. At first, the proposed single phase converter with APFC is realized by using the MATLAB/SIMULINK. Then, the boost APFC is designed...
Induction heating can convert electrical energy to thermal energy with high conversion efficiency and quick heating. Currently, a current source rectifier/inverter-fed parallel resonant circuit is widely used as an induction heating power supply for forging applications. However, the conventional induction heating power supplies composed of phase-controlled rectifier and SCR inverter have low efficiency...
This paper provides a solution for design of permanent magnet (PM) assisted synchronous reluctance machine (PMa-SynRM). Unlike interior PM machines, the PMa-SynRM is substantially a SynRM with a dominant reluctance torque. PMa-SynRMs are often designed by direct embedding magnets in a SynRM rotor to improve the performance over the original SynRM. However, the PM arrangements being more effective...

This paper proposes a self-tuning model predictive direct power control (MPDPC) strategy for power flow control and power quality improvement in grid-connected power converters. At each sampling instant, a fuzzy logic controller is used to determine online the best weighting factor values for a given operating point. These values are then used to solve the multi-objective optimal control problem associated...

The FCS-MPC is designed to enable power conversion with a unity power factor and generate seven level voltage waveform at the input. The proposed active rectifier architecture reduces harmonic contents of the rectifier input current by producing...

This paper proposes a novel control strategy for the brushless DC motor drive system fed by electrolytic capacitor-less inverter. In order to obtain high power factor, this paper proposes a new control method that regulates the inverter input current. The calculated compensation current of small film capacitor is subtracted from the ideal ac input current, which is regarded as the ideal inverter input...
This research addresses the control problem of microgrids and presents a robust distributed secondary control system for voltage regulation of an islanded microgrid with droop-controlled and inverter-based distributed generators (DGs). A consensus-based distributed control approach is proposed to restore the voltage and frequency of the islanded microgrid to the reference values for all DGs within...
As a significant part of electrical load, air conditioners draw attentions for their sometimes-unfriendly load characteristics, especially their dynamic responses during grid voltage disturbances. In this paper, a novel under-voltage control strategy for variable-speed air conditioners is introduced, which can keep air conditioners load characteristic as constant impedances when unexpected voltage...
In this paper, a novel method is presented to optimize distributed generation (DG) in distribution networks. The suggested method shows how DGs should change their sizes and places, if it is necessary, to improve the voltage profile and total power loss of distribution networks. For this purpose, game theory is applied to model the optimization problem. At the first step, an appropriate game based...
The performance of reactive power sharing in an islanded microgrid is significantly affected by feeder impedance, mismatch parameters and unbalanced local load. To reduce the negative impact of mismatched link impedance on reactive power sharing, the adaptive virtual impedance strategy for voltage compensation is proposed with paralleled inverters in an islanded mode. The on-line adaptive control...
Direct-drive in-wheel motors have become an extremely attractive option for electric vehicles. Two kinds of motors are devised, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) and Permanent-Magnet Flux-Modulated Motor (PMFM), respectively. Keeping the same back EMF, current density and copper loss, this paper analyzes and compares torque density, torque ripple, flux-weakening performance, speed range, loss...
The paper proposes a moving average filter (MAF)-based model predictive control (MPC) for the electric vehicles (EVs) bidirectional chargers. Grid virtual flux is used to estimate the grid voltage through a low pass filter (LPF). An MAF, which acts as an ideal LPF, can eliminate the effect of unbalanced/distorted grid voltage and unknown characteristic harmonics. Both the two-cascaded LPF-based and...

In this paper, an advanced droop control using a multinomial model for operating the parallel-connected uninterruptible power supply (UPS) inverters is proposed. To control the parallel inverters without any physical communications, the control method using a P/Q droops is conventionally used. The conventional method droops voltage and frequency using the monomial model. In conventional droop control,...
Model predictive direct power control (MPDPC) has been widely noticed in the field of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) control. The optimal vector is selected based on the principle of power error minimization. However, conventional MPDPC will produce high power ripples and large current distortion under unbalanced grid voltage condition. To achieve sinusoidal stator currents and/or constant...
