Sensorless control of ac machines which is able to work even at zero speed can be realized using high frequency excitation. Different schemes have been presented recently, which use transient excitation caused by the switching of the voltage source inverter. Transient excitations of only one pair of test vectors are applied for each measurement in this paper. The signals resulting from transient excitation...
Nowadays, "black box" behavioral models of power converters are becoming interesting for system level simulation of power electronic based systems. Hence, new modeling and identification procedures become needed. In this paper, an easy modeling method and identification procedure based on a transient response analysis is presented. Using this method, a behavioral model with reduced order...
In this paper, active inductor current balancing method for multi-phase four-switch buck-boost converter is presented. The multi-phase four-switch buck-boost converter is proposed for battery powered applications, such as automotive/truck applications, where high power dc-dc converters capable of stepping up and stepping down voltages are required. Inductor current balancing circuit based on the average...
With the advent of battery-powered portable devices and the mandatory adoptions of power factor correction (PFC), non-inverting buck-boost converter is attracting numerous attentions. Conventional two-switch or four-switch non-inverting buck-boost converters choose their operation modes by measuring input and output voltage magnitudes. This can cause higher output voltage transients when input and...
In this paper, a predictive non-linear voltage mode control method is introduced to enhance the transient performance of the VR. The proposed control method enables the VR to operate at a lower switching frequency in 250 KHz range for higher efficiency during steady state operation but respond fast accordingly to transient events when necessary. Compare to conventional method, the proposed control...
In this paper, a microgrid architecture comprised of parallel inverters, critical loads, and CAN communication is studied. The controller designs in both grid-tie and islanding modes for the designed MG system are described. How to distribute the currents among paralleled inverters with CAN bus as communication interface is addressed. The mode transfer tests are conducted with an inverter-simulated...
To overcome the drawbacks of the conventional gate drive, in this paper a closed-loop gate control method is proposed. In this novel method, the switching speed, specifically di/dt, is measured from the voltage across the parasitic inductance of the IGBT module and a closed-loop control is employed to adaptively adjust the gate drive voltage to control the switching speed according to a preset control...
A linear-to-nonlinear translator is proposed herein and applied to the boost converter to improve the operating performance of the boost converter all over the input voltage range. The proposed translator is inserted between the PID controller and the main power stage such that the PID controller considers the behavior of the boost converter to be quasi-linear, thereby suppressing the effect of nonlinear...
In order to adhere to voltage regulation criteria, capacitor selection of a Buck converter must be based on the worst possible scenario. It is well known that, for a low duty cycle Buck converter, the output voltage deviation of a Buck converter undergoing an unloading transient will be significantly larger than that of a corresponding loading transient of equal magnitude. Therefore, in this paper,...
This paper presents the application of black-box terminal characterization models (BBTC) for the simulation and analysis of distributed power electronics systems composed by commercial power electronics converters and filter modules. The models are shown to effectively predict the transient and steady state response of interconnected distributed power systems. They are also used to predict the small-signal...
A dual-voltage-loop digital control architecture with non-linear control algorithm is proposed in this paper. An adaptive voltage positioning (AVP) control unit was generalized to achieve adaptive voltage positioning, by generating dynamic voltage reference and dynamic current reference. A dynamic reference step adjustment method lowers the high speed requirement of reference updating clock; a non-linear...
This paper analyzes the tuning of the phase locked loops (PLLs) employed in the control of power converters when there is distortion in the AC mains. The pros and cons of different optimization approaches are studied. In a general way, PLLs with a low bandwidth (low-gain PLLs) are required when handling with distorted. This paper proves that the tuning of low-gain PLLs have more than one trade-off...
