Abstract:
An impedance source buck-boost converter (BBC) prototype for renewable energy (RE) application in the transportation industry is proposed. Its functions include stabilizing the variable output voltage of the RE sources such as fuel cells and photovoltaic cells. The converter utilized a topology of DC-DC quasi-impedance source converters (q-ZSCs) to achieve the gain curve of the BBC. With BBC gain curve, the converter earned advantages over the two other classes of non-isolated DC-DC q-ZSCs. These advantages include ecient buck-boost capability at the ecient duty ratio range of 0:35-0:65 and continuous and non-zero gain at the ecient duty ratio range. The converter's q-ZSC topology implies using two capacitors and two inductors. These two capacitors and inductors formed two separate LC filters that provides second order filtering compared to the first order filtering in BBC. Its other advantages over the traditional BBC include elim-ination of dead and overlap-time, simple contol and permitting higher switching frequency operation. The converter is capable of utilizing high switching frequency and asymmetric components to achieve BBC gain by using smaller components to reduce cost, weight and size. Its simulation response and that of a correspond-ing BBC for some given specifications were compared, presented and analyzed. An experimental scaled-down prototype was also developed to confirm its opera-tion. Analysis of the converters responses comfirmed the prototype's second order filtering as against the first order filtering in traditional BBC.

Abstract:
This paper proposes the switched impedance source converter (SZSC) or switched quasi impedance source DC-DC converter (S-qZSC) based photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected systems. To increase the voltage from low level to high level, all PV grid-connected systems need step-up DC-DC converters. This step-up factor can be increased by connecting the terminals of a traditional quasi impedance source DC-DC converter with an additional diode and a switch. In this proposed converter, the capacitor not only serves as a filter. It is, however, bound in series to the charging loops of the inductors. On the one hand, saturated inductors can trigger instability, which can be avoided. When used for dc-ac conversion, however, the modulation index of the backend H-bridge can be set to a wider range. As compared to existing Z-source-based systems, a shorter duty period results in a higher boost factor.

Abstract:
Boost converters are needed in many applications which require the output voltage to be higher than the input voltage. Recently, boost type converters have been applied for industrial applications, and hence it has become an interesting topic of research. Many researchers proposed different impedance source converters with their unique advantages as having a high voltage gain in a small range of duty cycle ratio. However, the thermal behaviour of the semiconductor devices and passive elements in the impedance source converter is an important issue from a reliability point of view and it has not been investigated yet. Therefore, this paper presents a comparison between the conventional boost, the Z-source, and the Y-source converters based on a thermal evaluation of the semiconductors. In addition, the three topologies are also compared with respect to their efficiency. In this study the results show that the boost converter has higher efficiency than the Zsource and Y-source converter for these specific voltage gain of 2 and 4. The operational principle, mathematical derivations, simulation results and final comparisons are presented in this paper.

This paper discusses issues related to application of SiC power devices to new family of power converters. Impedance source converters show unique feature, buck boost characteristics due to specific impedance network. Passive elements of this network may be seriously reduced with the switching frequency increase, possible with fast-switching SiC transistors. On the other hand, switching conditions of the power devices are more severe than in traditional voltage-source or current-source converters. These issues are discussed on the base of the 6kVA/100kHz quasi-Z-source inverter example.

Abstract:
This paper presents a comprehensive analytical comparison of the impedance-source-based dc-dc and dc-ac converters in terms of the passive component count and size, semiconductor stress, and range of input voltage variation. The conventional solution with a boost converter was considered as a reference value. The main criterion of the comprehensive comparison was the energy stored in the passive elements, which was considered both under a constant and predefined high frequency current ripple in the inductors and the voltage ripple across the capacitors. Main impedance-source converters with or without a transformer and with or without inductor coupling were analyzed. Dc-dc and dc-ac applications were considered. Selective simulation results along with experimental verification are shown. The conclusions provide a selection guide of impedance-source networks for different applications taking into account its advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract:
Offshore wind farms are increasingly built in the North Sea and the number of HVDC systems transmitting the wind power to shore increases as well. To connect offshore wind farms to adjacent AC transmission systems, onshore and offshore modular multilevel converters transform the transmitted power from AC to DC and vice versa. Additionally, modern wind farms mainly use wind turbines connected to the offshore point of common coupling via voltage source converters. However, converters and their control systems can cause unwanted interactions, referred to as converter-driven stability problems. The resulting instabilities can be predicted by applying an impedance-based analysis in the frequency domain. Considering that the converter models and system data are often confidential and cannot be exchanged in real systems, this paper proposes an enhanced impedance measurement method suitable for black-box applications to investigate the interactions. A frequency response analysis identifies coupling currents depending on the control system. The currents are subsequently added to the impedance models to achieve higher accuracy. The proposed method is applied to assess an offshore HVDC system’s converter-driven stability, using impedance measurements of laboratory converters and a wind turbine converter controller replica. The results show that the onshore modular multilevel converter interacts with AC grids of moderate short-circuit ratios. However, no interactions are identified between the offshore converter and the connected wind farm.

Abstract:
To improve the voltage gain of step-up converters, the cascaded technique is considered as a possible solution in this paper. By considering the concept of cascading two Z-source networks in a conventional boost converter, the proposed topology takes the advantages of both impedance source and cascaded converters. By applying some modifications, the proposed converter provides high voltage gain while the voltage stress of the switch and diodes is still low. Moreover, the low input current ripple of the converter makes it absolutely appropriate for photovoltaic applications in expanding the lifetime of PV panels. After analyzing the operation principles of the proposed converter, we present the simulation and experimental results of a 100 W prototype to verify the proposed converter performance.

Abstract:
The circulating current is one of the important issues for parallel converters. It affects the system stable operation and degrades the power quality. In order to reduce the circulating current of the parallel converter and reduce the harmonic pollution to the power grid, a new circulating current suppression strategy is proposed for the parallel current source converter without any communication line. This strategy is able to realize the current sharing between parallel modules by changing the external characteristics of the parallel modules to thus suppress the circulating current among the parallel current source converters. The proposed control strategy adopts DC-side droop control and AC-side virtual impedance control. The DC-side droop control is used to generate the reference voltage of each parallel module, while the AC-side virtual impedance is used to the circulating current suppression. We performed a time domain test of the parallel converter, and the results show that the proposed control strategy reduced the RMS circulating current of the parallel converter by 50% and effectively reduced the grid-side current THD while ensuring the stable operation of the converter. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy was, therefore, verified.

Abstract:
Power electronics have revolutionized the concept of power control for power conversion and for control of electrical motor drives. Power electronics has been extensively used in industrial applications since it was first discovered in 1902. Power conversion is one of the most important and prominent applications of power electronics. Impedance source networks cover the entire spectrum of electric power conversions from DC-AC (e.g. inverters), to phase and frequency conversion (AC-AC) in a wide range of applications. A wide variety of topologies and control methods using different impedance source networks have been presented in the literature to overcome the limitations and problems of traditional voltage source and current source as well as various classical buck–boost, unidirectional, and bidirectional converter topologies. Proper implementation of the impedance-source network with appropriate switching configurations and topologies reduces the number of power conversion stages in the system power chain, which may improve the reliability and performance of the power system. The main focus of this thesis is to study and analyze different impedance source inverters and their control methods, and the development of improved impedance source power systems that will comprise advanced circuitry and provide higher voltage gains needing less complex systems that together provide more cost-efficient solutions. The systems under considerations would have high frequency electrical isolation and voltage clamping across the DC-link inverter bridge that would resulting in better protection, lower overall system losses, and increased efficiencies. Then parallel techniques will be discussed, analyzed and implemented for the class of impedance source inverters. This parallel operation of ZSIs leads to reduced components stress across the inverter bridges by sharing the currents, interleaving, ease of maintenance, modularity, higher reliability, and (N+1) redundancy. The scope of impedance source networks is not limited to inverters (i.e., DC-AC power conversion), but covers a wide range of electric power conversion applications including (DC-DC and AC-AC converters). Thus, the last part of this research project will include the development of a new class of transformer based impedance source AC-AC converters with novel control strategies to increase the input to output gains and to improve the conglomerate characteristics of the AC-AC converters. Validation of the proposed structures will be done virtually using the Saber, PSIM simulations, and physically using experimental hardware prototypes. Several KW power systems will be fabricated and implemented using a DSP-kit based on the TMS320f28335 processor. Modified modulation schemes will be applied to control the switching of active devices. Furthermore, clamping techniques by minimizing the high frequency loop via clamping diode will be applied to the proposed inverters to limit the voltage overshoots caused by the leakage inductance energy. The better performance of improved impedance source network (with added benefits of HF isolation and parallelization) to design more resilient and efficient converter topology for various applications such as adjustable speed drives, distributed generation systems, super-capacitor energy storage systems, uninterruptable power supply, dc circuit breakers, electric vehicles, avionics, and electronic loads will attract researchers and professional engineers to explore it in depth.

Abstract:

Interactions between grid-connected converters and the networks at their terminals have resulted in stability and resonance problems in converter-based power systems, particularly in applications ranging from wind and PV farms to electric traction and HVDC transmission networks. Impedance-based modeling and analysis methods have found wide acceptance for the evaluation of these resonance problems.

This thesis presents small and large signal impedance modeling of grid-connected single and three phase voltage source converters (VSC) to enable the analysis of resonance conditions involving multiple frequency components, and both the ac and dc power systems at the VSC terminals. A modular impedance modeling approach is proposed by defining the VSC impedance as transfer matrix, which captures the frequency cross-coupling effects and also the coupling between the ac and dc power systems interfaced by the VSC. Ac and dc impedance models are developed for a VSC including the reflection of the network on the other side of the VSC. Signal-flow graphs for linear time-periodic (LTP) systems are proposed to streamline and visually describe the linearization of grid-connected converters including the frequency cross-coupling effects. Relationships between the impedance modeling in dq, sequence, and phasor domains are also developed. The phasor-domain impedance formulation links the impedance methods with the phasor-based state-space modeling approach generally used for bulk power systems. A large-signal impedance based method is developed for predicting the amplitude or severity of resonance under different grid conditions. The small-signal harmonic linearization method is extended for the large-signal impedance modeling of grid-connected converters. It is shown that the large-signal impedance of a converter is predominantly shaped by hard nonlinearities in the converter control system such as PWM saturation and limiters.

This thesis also deals with the problem of synchronizing a generator or microgrid with another power system. A VSC-based synchronizer is proposed for active phase synchronization and a distributed synchronization method is developed for microgrids.

As the NAVY moves forward with plans to become less dependent on fossil fuels and more dependent on hybrid electric drives and all-electric ships, being aware of the stability issues associated with direct current (DC)-DC and DC-alternating current (AC) power converters and understanding how to solve the issues that come with using them, are very important. The negative input impedance that is observed when using a buck converter servicing a constant power load (CPL) is one of the issues that needs to be understood. Understanding the stability issue caused by the negative input impedance and mitigating this instability by varying the input source impedance is the focus of this thesis. Using a Simulink model of an ideal CPL, we determined the expected results. Then, the Simulink results were compared to the analysis of the linearized small signal transfer function to determine how well the results of the two matched. Finally, the hardware model was observed and its results compared to the Simulink model and linearized small signal transfer function. These experiments led to the conclusion that increasing the capacitance or decreasing the inductance reduces the input source impedance and, ultimately, reduces instability in the system.

Abstract:
O uso crescente de fontes alternativas de energia exige conversores de energia capazes de aumentar sua tensão nos terminais e conectá-los ao sistema de distribuição. Neste contexto, o conversor step-up clássico (conversor de potência CC/CC) e o inversor de fonte de tensão (VSI) são as soluções mais aplicadas para processar o fluxo de energia da fonte para a rede. No entanto, apresentam um baixo rendimento devido ao duplo estágio de conversão, isto é, a energia flui também através dos conversores de energia CC/CC e CC/CA. Para evitar esse tipo de desvantagem, no início da última década, o Z-Source-Inverter (ZSI) foi introduzido. Nesta nova solução, o conversor de energia CC/CC responsável por elevar a tensão nos terminais do conversor foi removido e uma rede de impedância LCLC foi adicionada com duas tarefas, ou seja, aumentar a tensão do terminal e melhorar a eficiência do ZSI. Infelizmente, os trabalhos da literatura não apresentaram um modelo matemático generalizado para apoiar os projetistas de conversores de potência na análise de estabilidade, projeto de controladores ou avaliar o ganho de tensão do conversor. Neste sentido, esta dissertação propõe o desenvolvimento de um modelo matemático completo e a análise de estabilidade da planta. Para suportar todo o desenvolvimento teórico, foi realizado um conjunto de análises no domínio do tempo e da frequência. Por fim, verificou-se o controle da tensão do elo CC para suportar todas as afirmações apresentadas neste trabalho (controle da tensão no capacitor da rede Z).
The growing use of alternative energy sources require power converters able to boost their terminal voltage and connect them to the distribution system. In this context, the classical step-up converter (DC/DC power converter) and the voltage source inverter (VSI) are the most applied solutions to process the power flow from the source to the grid. However, they present a low efficient because of the double stage of conversion, i.e. the power flows through the DC/DC and DC/AC power converters as well. To avoid this type of drawback, in the beginning of the last decade the impedance source inverter (ZSI) was introduce. In this new solution, the DC/DC power converter responsible for boosting the voltage at the DC-source terminals was removed and a Z (LCLC-network) was added with two tasks, i.e. boost the DC-source terminal voltage and improve the ZSI efficiency. Unfortunately, the papers in the literature did not present a generalized mathematical model to support designers of power converters in the analysis of stability, design of controllers or evaluate the voltage gain of the converter. In this sense, this thesis proposes the development of a complete mathematical model and the stability analysis of the plant. To support all the theoretical development a set of analysis in the time and frequency-domain was performed. Finally, the control of DC-link voltage was verified to support all the statements presented in this thesis (control on the Z-network voltage capacitance).

Abstract:
To mitigate the carbon footprint and the need to fulfil the energy goals in terms of sustainability, it is required to deploy a large integration of green energies. Therefore, in the previous and the coming years, there will be a high research and technological interest in the high penetration of converter-based generation. With the replacement and integration of power converters into the bulk power grid, new challenges and issues must be faced to maintain the system´s stability and reliability in terms of procedures for the transmission system operators. The main objective of this thesis project is to analyze and to implement the current- limiting techniques implemented in voltage source converters, which are equipped with grid-forming functionalities so that these electronic devices are safeguarded during a severe transient event as three-phase short-circuit and remain connected to the grid during the fault scenario. The model of the voltage source converter with grid-forming strategies is described as well as the grid-forming strategies (droop control, virtual synchronous machine (VSM) and dispatchable virtual oscillator control (dVOC)) utilized in the outer loop. The low-inertia and zero-inertia system in the IEEE 9-Bus test system were exhibited to be resilient towards 3-phase fault events, and their behavior shows neither significant oscillations during and after the incident of the fault nor noticeable difference in their performance regarding the location. In this test system model, the current-limiting techniques were validated and analyzed results display good effectiveness for the current and frequency. The Hydro-Québec network model was employed to have a more practical approach in the behavior of the current limitation strategies in the power converters in a real power system. The fault location and the percentage of participation of the voltage source converters in the energy generation were the two main scenarios, in which the proposed control strategies for restricting the current work but simultaneously, it is required an appropriate control to keep the system´s stability.
För att minska koldioxidutsläppet och uppnå energimålen med avseende på hållbarhet krävs integrering av hållbara energikällor. Därmed, under de föregående och kommande  åren kommer stort fokus riktas mot forskning kring ökad penetration av kraftelektronikomriktare i kraftsystemet. När kraftelektronikomriktare ersätter traditionella generationsenheter uppkommer nya utmaningar och problem som behöver lösas för att upprätthålla systemets stabilitet och pålitlighet med avseende på tillvägagångssätt för systemansvariga för överföringssystemet.  Avhandlingens huvudmål är att analysera och implementera strömbegränsande metoder för kraftelektronikomriktare av typen voltage source converters med en nätformande (”grid- forming”) funktionalitet. Strömbegränsaren ska säkerställa att kraftelektronikomriktaren skyddas under allvarliga transienta händelser och att kraftelektronikomriktaren förblir ansluten till nätet under händelsen. Modellen av kraftelektronikomriktaren med nätformande egenskaper är beskrivna tillsammans med nätformande kontrollstrategier, virtuella synkronmaskniner (VSM) och användande av avsändande virtuell oscillerande kontroll i den yttre slingan.  Den låga trögheten och noll-tröghetssystemet i IEEE 9-Bus test-system visade sig vara motståndskraftig mot trefasfel eftersom testsystemets beteende visade varken signifikanta oscillationer under och efter felet eller märkbar förändring i dess prestanda beroende på var felet inträffade. I denna testsystemsmodell var strömbegränsande tekniker validerade och de analyserande resultaten visade på god effektivitet för strömmen och för frekvensen.  Hydro-Québec nätverks-modellen användes för att få en mer praktisk inriktning med hänsyn till beteendet hos strömbegränsarna där olika strategier har använts. Felpositionen och andelen av kraftelektronikomriktare i energigenereringen var två huvudsakliga scenarion, där de föreslagna kontrollstrategierna för att begränsa strömmen fungerade men kräver samtidigt att en lämplig kontroll för att behålla systemets stabilitet.

Abstract:
The ability of a piezoelectric transducer in energy conversion is rapidly expanding in several applications. Some of the industrial applications for which a high power ultrasound transducer can be used are surface cleaning, water treatment, plastic welding and food sterilization. Also, a high power ultrasound transducer plays a great role in biomedical applications such as diagnostic and therapeutic applications. An ultrasound transducer is usually applied to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy and vice versa. In some high power ultrasound system, ultrasound transducers are applied as a transmitter, as a receiver or both. As a transmitter, it converts electrical energy to mechanical energy while a receiver converts mechanical energy to electrical energy as a sensor for control system. Once a piezoelectric transducer is excited by electrical signal, piezoelectric material starts to vibrate and generates ultrasound waves. A portion of the ultrasound waves which passes through the medium will be sensed by the receiver and converted to electrical energy. To drive an ultrasound transducer, an excitation signal should be properly designed otherwise undesired signal (low quality) can deteriorate the performance of the transducer (energy conversion) and increase power consumption in the system. For instance, some portion of generated power may be delivered in unwanted frequency which is not acceptable for some applications especially for biomedical applications. To achieve better performance of the transducer, along with the quality of the excitation signal, the characteristics of the high power ultrasound transducer should be taken into consideration as well. In this regard, several simulation and experimental tests are carried out in this research to model high power ultrasound transducers and systems. During these experiments, high power ultrasound transducers are excited by several excitation signals with different amplitudes and frequencies, using a network analyser, a signal generator, a high power amplifier and a multilevel converter. Also, to analyse the behaviour of the ultrasound system, the voltage ratio of the system is measured in different tests. The voltage across transmitter is measured as an input voltage then divided by the output voltage which is measured across receiver. The results of the transducer characteristics and the ultrasound system behaviour are discussed in chapter 4 and 5 of this thesis. Each piezoelectric transducer has several resonance frequencies in which its impedance has lower magnitude as compared to non-resonance frequencies. Among these resonance frequencies, just at one of those frequencies, the magnitude of the impedance is minimum. This resonance frequency is known as the main resonance frequency of the transducer. To attain higher efficiency and deliver more power to the ultrasound system, the transducer is usually excited at the main resonance frequency. Therefore, it is important to find out this frequency and other resonance frequencies. Hereof, a frequency detection method is proposed in this research which is discussed in chapter 2. An extended electrical model of the ultrasound transducer with multiple resonance frequencies consists of several RLC legs in parallel with a capacitor. Each RLC leg represents one of the resonance frequencies of the ultrasound transducer. At resonance frequency the inductor reactance and capacitor reactance cancel out each other and the resistor of this leg represents power conversion of the system at that frequency. This concept is shown in simulation and test results presented in chapter 4. To excite a high power ultrasound transducer, a high power signal is required. Multilevel converters are usually applied to generate a high power signal but the drawback of this signal is low quality in comparison with a sinusoidal signal. In some applications like ultrasound, it is extensively important to generate a high quality signal. Several control and modulation techniques are introduced in different papers to control the output voltage of the multilevel converters. One of those techniques is harmonic elimination technique. In this technique, switching angles are chosen in such way to reduce harmonic contents in the output side. It is undeniable that increasing the number of the switching angles results in more harmonic reduction. But to have more switching angles, more output voltage levels are required which increase the number of components and cost of the converter. To improve the quality of the output voltage signal with no more components, a new harmonic elimination technique is proposed in this research. Based on this new technique, more variables (DC voltage levels and switching angles) are chosen to eliminate more low order harmonics compared to conventional harmonic elimination techniques. In conventional harmonic elimination method, DC voltage levels are same and only switching angles are calculated to eliminate harmonics. Therefore, the number of eliminated harmonic is limited by the number of switching cycles. In the proposed modulation technique, the switching angles and the DC voltage levels are calculated off-line to eliminate more harmonics. Therefore, the DC voltage levels are not equal and should be regulated. To achieve this aim, a DC/DC converter is applied to adjust the DC link voltages with several capacitors. The effect of the new harmonic elimination technique on the output quality of several single phase multilevel converters is explained in chapter 3 and 6 of this thesis. According to the electrical model of high power ultrasound transducer, this device can be modelled as parallel combinations of RLC legs with a main capacitor. The impedance diagram of the transducer in frequency domain shows it has capacitive characteristics in almost all frequencies. Therefore, using a voltage source converter to drive a high power ultrasound transducer can create significant leakage current through the transducer. It happens due to significant voltage stress (dv/dt) across the transducer. To remedy this problem, LC filters are applied in some applications. For some applications such as ultrasound, using a LC filter can deteriorate the performance of the transducer by changing its characteristics and displacing the resonance frequency of the transducer. For such a case a current source converter could be a suitable choice to overcome this problem. In this regard, a current source converter is implemented and applied to excite the high power ultrasound transducer. To control the output current and voltage, a hysteresis control and unipolar modulation are used respectively. The results of this test are explained in chapter 7.

Abstract:
This master’s thesis is an introduction to the measurement of changes in tissue impedance of blood flow by impedance plethysmography. Other chapters deal with the kinds of plethysmographs and their principles. The aim is to draft four-electrode impedance plethysmograph to measure changes in tissue impedance depending on blood flow. First, describe the individual blocks of the medical instrument. The practical part of the master’s thesis involves circuit design four-electrode plethysmograph. Given that a very important role in its function plays a constant current source operating at a frequency of 60kHz, this subset was implemented and verified its correct function. To draw component schemes used program EAGLE version 5.10.0.
