Electric power is commonly transmitted from one location to another without interruption through overhead transmission lines. This paper presents the impact of varying the capacitance and load on the performance of the three types of medium transmission lines (end condenser, nominal ‘pi’, and nominal ‘T’) by using the TQ NE9080 transmission line simulator. It also investigates the effects of increasing...
The ease of expansion of power system and lowered cost made the use of modular converters in Renewable Energy System more common. Different configurations are implemented depending on the applications. Control strategies like fuzzy logic, droop method and charge control scheme are developed for achieving sharing of current and voltages among the converters. In this paper new modularization architecture...
This paper presents a robust deadbeat predictive power control (DBPC) for PWM rectifiers with consideration of parameter mismatches. To achieve accurate power control with crude estimations of the grid-side impedance, the system disturbance caused by inaccurate parameter is analyzed. Then, a complex power based sliding-mode disturbance observer (SMDO) is proposed. Both DBPC and SMDO are implemented...
This paper proposes the phase-controlled class-D inverter with resonant-capacitor voltage clamp. By adding the clamp circuits to resonant capacitances connected in parallel, it is possible to protect the inverter from the inrush and over currents automatically. By regenerating the clamp current to the input voltage source, high power-conversion efficiency can be achieved. Additionally, the design...
This paper introduces a novel tunable inductor whose inductance can be adjusted continuously in a large range. The new inductor has one winding wrapped on a magnetic flux valve (MFV) and two C-cores attached to each side of the MFV to form a closed magnetic circuit. Its inductance can be altered continuously by applying an external control voltage on the MFV. This paper presents the concept, configuration,...

A comprehensive system model to control the circulating current, an overall control strategy to adjust the output voltage with constant magnitude and frequency,...
The control of PWM rectifiers under unbalanced network has become an important issue in recent years, especially in the applications with weak grid. Conventional methods is based on voltage oriented control (VOC), which requires several PI controllers in dual reference frame and the sequence extraction of grid/rectifier voltages and currents. To reduce the control complexity, recently direct power...
This paper analyzes an effect of voltage feedforward control in order to improve stability of BESS which is connected to diesel generator in stand-alone microgrid. In the stand-alone microgrid, BESS can be charged from the diesel generator when SOC of battery bank is insufficient, where BESS operates as CC-CV control. In this case, although LCL filter is designed to put a resonance point greater than...
The grid inductance is a sensitive parameter to be considered in order not to degrade the control system performance and to guarantee the system stability. In this paper, the Grid Inductance estimation based on Generalized Integrators (GIGI) method is proposed. It carries out an online grid inductance detection, which disturbs the grid by injecting a time-limited and small-amplitude harmonic voltage...
This paper proposes a new current controller with modified decoupling and anti-windup schemes for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. In designing the controller, an improved voltage model, which is different from existing models in that it reflects all the nonlinear characteristics of the motor, is considered. In an actual PMSM, unintentional distortion occurs in inductance and flux...
This paper presents an Integrated switched-coupled-inductor boost-flyback converter (abbreviated as SCIBFC), which has benefits of both Integrated boost-flyback converter (IBFC) and switched coupled-inductor boost converter. The principle of the proposed converter, analysis of operation (including the effects of parasitic parameters), and design guideline are included. SCIBFC achieves soft-switching...
Model predictive direct power control (MPDPC) has been widely concerned in the control of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) systems owing to its simple concept and good multivariate control ability. The optimal voltage vector is selected based on the principle of power error minimization. Nevertheless, the conventional MPDPC still presents relatively high power ripples and the switching frequency...
This paper proposes a primary side control for series-series compensated wireless power transfer system. By eliminating the need for a communication link for signal feedback, the control method not only reduces volume and cost of the system, but also improves a dynamic response. This controller only requires the information of the primary side voltage and current to identify the load resistance and...
There is an increasing need to model large networks of inverter-based distributed generation due to the limits of existing simulation tools. A deliberate enforcement of intra-feeder coherency between adjacent droop-controlled inverters is a worthwhile objective, as phase angle coherency will allow for a deliberate partitioning of fast and slow dynamics within the network. This partitioning, in turn,...
This paper introduces a new insertion index selection method to control a Back-to-Back Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) laboratory platform. The test bench is based on a Power-Hardware-In-the-Loop (PHIL) setup constructed from two 6kVA, 3-phase, 10 cells per arm MMC systems connected in Back-to-Back configuration. The proposed insertion index selection method uses the arithmetic mean of available...
This paper presents a simplified direct modulation prediction approach for modular multilevel converters (MMC). By using the Euler approximation, the grid-side and circulating currents are firstly predicted to obtain the values in the next switching cycle. Then the modulations are directly calculated based on the established mathematical models for the six-arms of MMC. Subsequently, the capacitor...
Ultra-high speed machines have become more and more interesting to researchers in the past few decades. Switched reluctance machines (SRMs) are very attractive to researchers due to their simple geometry. However, traditional control methods are not suitable for ultra-high speed applications because of their super-high switching frequency. In this paper, a constant volts per hertz control for ultra-high...
Multi-modular converters have proven to be one of the most suitable topology to be used in high and power applications. The modularity of these configurations offer several advantages, such as: high quality voltage, redundancy and high efficiency. In these converters, the series connection of modules increase the number of voltage levels, but also the floating voltage of modules with respect the neutral...
This study proposed a novel protective action for converter side phase-to-ground fault of FB-MMC-based bipolar HVDC. The faulty converter is kept in operation during fault, and its dc-link voltage reference is set to zero in order to avoid serious overvoltage of the sub-module capacitors. This protective action was verified by simulation. The overcurrent and overvoltage of converter arms are moderate...
