Power electronics

This chapter gives a description and overview of power electronic technologies including a description of the fundamental systems that are the building blocks of power electronic systems. Technologies that are described include: power semiconductor switching devices, converter circuits that process energy from one DC level to another DC level, converters that produce variable frequency from DC sources, principles of rectifying AC input voltage in uncontrolled DC output voltage and their extension to controlled rectifiers, converters that convert to AC from DC (inverters) or from AC with fixed or variable output frequency (AC controllers, DC–DC–AC converters, matrix converters, or cycloconverters). The chapter also covers control of power converters with focus on pulse width modulation (PWM) control techniques.

Fundamentals of Power Electronics

This paper gives an overview of medium-voltage (MV) multilevel converters with a focus on achieving minimum harmonic distortion and high efficiency at low switching frequency operation. Increasing the power rating by minimizing switching frequency while still maintaining reasonable power quality is an important requirement and a persistent challenge for the industry. Existing solutions are discussed and analyzed based on their topologies, limitations, and control techniques. As a preferred option for future research and application, an inverter configuration based on three-level building blocks to generate five-level voltage waveforms is suggested. This paper shows that such an inverter may be operated at a very low switching frequency to achieve minimum on-state and dynamic device losses for highly efficient MV drive applications while maintaining low harmonic distortion.

Power Electronics Converters Applications And Design

This paper reviews state of the art maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms for wind energy systems. Due to the instantaneous changing nature of the wind, it is desirable to determine the one optimal generator speed that ensures maximum energy yield. Therefore, it is essential to include a controller that can track the maximum peak regardless of wind speed. The available MPPT algorithms can be classified as either with or without sensors, as well as according to the techniques used to locate the maximum peak. A comparison has been made between the performance of different MPPT algorithms on the basis of various speed responses and ability to achieve the maximum energy yield. Based on simulation results available in the literature, the optimal torque control (OTC) has been found to be the best MPPT method for wind energy systems due to its simplicity. On the other hand, the perturbation and observation (P&O) method is flexible and simple in implementation, but is less efficient and has difficulties determining the optimum step-size.

A review of maximum power point tracking algorithms for wind energy systems

This paper comprehensively analyzes the relationship between space-vector modulation and three-phase carrier-based pulse width modulation (PWM). The relationships involved, such as the relationship between modulation signals (including zero-sequence component and fundamental components) and space vectors, the relationship between the modulation signals and the space-vector sectors, the relationship between the switching pattern of space-vector modulation and the type of carrier, and the relationship between the distribution of zero vectors and different zero-sequence signal are systematically established. All the relationships provide a bidirectional bridge for the transformation between carrier-based PWM modulators and space-vector modulation modulators. It is shown that all the drawn conclusions are independent of the load type. Furthermore, the implementations of both space-vector modulation and carrier-based PWM in a closed-loop feedback converter are discussed.

Relationship between space-vector modulation and three-phase carrier-based PWM: a comprehensive analysis [three-phase inverters]

This paper presents a simple and efficient linear phase lead compensation repetitive control scheme for engineers to develop high-performance power converter systems. The linear phase lead compensation helps a repetitive controller to achieve faster convergence rate, higher tracking accuracy, and wider stability region. In the proposed scheme, the phase lead compensation repetitive controller is plugged into generic state-feedback-controlled converter systems. Its comprehensive synthesis, which involves principle, analysis, design, modeling, implementation, and experiments, is systematically and completely presented in great detail. A complete series of experiments is successfully carried out to verify the solution.

Linear Phase Lead Compensation Repetitive Control of a CVCF PWM Inverter

In this paper, a plug-in digital repetitive leaning control scheme is proposed for three-phase constant-voltage constant-frequency (CVCF) pulsewidth modulation inverters to achieve high-quality sinusoidal output voltages. In the proposed control scheme, the repetitive controller (RC) is plugged into the stable one-sampling-ahead-preview-controlled three-phase CVCF inverter system using only two voltage sensors. The RC is designed to eliminate periodic disturbance and/or track periodic reference signal with zero tracking error, The design theory of plug-in repetitive learning controller is described systematically and the stability analysis or overall system is discussed. The merits of the controlled systems include features of minimized total harmonic distortion, robustness to parameter uncertainties, fast response, and fewer sensors. Simulation and experimental results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Digital repetitive learning controller for three-phase CVCF PWM inverter

In this paper, a zero-phase odd-harmonic repetitive control scheme is proposed for pulse-width modulation inverters. The proposed repetitive controller combines an odd-harmonic periodic generator with a noncasual zero-phase compensation filter. It occupies less data memory than a conventional repetitive controller does. Moreover, it offers faster convergence of the tracking error, and yields very low total harmonics distortion (THD) and low tracking error. Analysis and design of the proposed system are presented. Experimental results with the proposed repetitive controller are presented to validate the approach. The phenomena of even-harmonic residues in the proposed control system is discussed and experimentally demonstrated.

Zero-phase odd-harmonic repetitive controller for a single-phase PWM inverter

In this paper, a digital repetitive control (RC) strategy is proposed to achieve zero tracking error for constant-voltage constant-frequency (CVCF) pulse width modulation (PWM) converters. The proposed control scheme is of "plug-in" structure: a plug-in digital repetitive controller plus a conventional controller (e.g., PD controller). The design of the plug-in repetitive learning controller is systematically developed. The stability analysis of overall system is discussed. A repetitive controlled three-phase reversible PWM rectifier is given as an application example. Near unity power factor and constant output DC voltage are ensured under parameter uncertainties and load disturbances. Simulation and experimental results are provided to testify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
