Abstract:

The rising demands for a sustainable energy system have stimulated global interests in renewable energy sources. Wind is the fastest growing and promising source of renewable power generation globally. The inclusion of wind power into the electric grid can severely impact the monetary cost, stability and quality of the grid network due to the erratic nature of wind. Power electronics technology can enable optimum performance of the wind power generation system, transferring suitable and applicable energy to the electricity grid. Power electronics can be used for smooth transfer of wind energy to electricity grid but the technology for wind turbines is influenced by the type of generator employed, the energy demand and the grid requirements. This paper investigates the constraints and standards of wind energy conversion technology and the enabling power electronic technology for integration to electricity grid.

Abstract:

All electrical and electronic devices require access to a suitable energy source. In a portable electronic product, such as a cell phone, an energy storage unit drives a complex array of power conversion stages to generate multiple DC voltage rails required. To optimize the overall end-to-end efficiency, these internal power conversions should waste minimal energy and deliver more to the electronic modules. Capacitors are one of the main component families used in electronics, to store and deliver electric charges. Supercapacitors, so called because they provide over a million-fold increase in capacitance relative to a traditional capacitor of the same volume, are enabling a paradigm shift in the design of power electronic converter circuits. Here we show that supercapacitors could function as a lossless voltage-dropping element in the power conversion stages, thereby significantly increasing the power conversion stage efficiency. This approach has numerous secondary benefits: it improves continuity of the supply, suppresses voltage surges, allows the voltage regulation to be electromagnetically silent, and simplifies the design of voltage regulators. The use of supercapacitors allows the development of a novel loss-circumvention theory with applicability to a wide range of supercapacitor-assisted (SCA) techniques. These include low-dropout regulators, transient surge absorbers, LED lighting for DC microgrids, and rapid energy transfer for water heating.

Abstract:

This paper addresses low-power, low-voltage electronic circuit requirements for wireless sensors with energy harvesting. The challenges of start-up for micro-controller unit (MCU)-based energy-harvesting platforms is discussed where a transient, low-voltage (20–1000 mV), low-power (<100 μW) source having a relatively high source impedance (possibly >500 Ω) is used. Efficient converter circuitry is required to transform the low-voltage output from the source to a level suitable for typical electronic devices, 1.8–5 V, and a prototype is demonstrated in the paper. Owing to the limited energy available to deliver to the storage element, the converter output voltage typically has a slow rising slew rate that can be a problem for MCUs. This necessitates a reset circuit to hold-off operation until a level high enough for reliable operation is achieved. Once operational, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) extracts peak power from the harvester while simultaneously tracking the transient nature of the source. In this low-power application, MCU programming needs to be efficient, while otherwise keeping the MCU in the lowest power standby mode possible to conserve energy. In a fully integrated design, a single MCU may be used for the sensor application, power management, power conversion, and MPPT functions.

Abstract:

Photovoltaic (PV) energy has been competitive in power generation as an alternative to fossil energy resources over the past decades. The installation of grid-connected solar energy systems is expected to increase rapidly with the fast development of the power electronics technology. As the key to the interface of the PV energy and the grid, power converters should be reliable, efficient and comply with the grid requirements. Considering the nature of PV energy, the power conversion should be flexible (e.g., high step-up DC-DC conversion and harmonic-free DC-AC conversion). Accordingly, many power electronic converters have been reported in literature. Compared with isolated inverters, transformerless inverters show great advantages. This paper thus presents an overview of the transformerless step-up single-phase inverters for PV applications based on the dc-link configurations. Grid-connected PV inverters are classified as constant dc-link voltage structures, pseudo-dc-link voltage structures, pulsating dc-link voltage structures and integrated dc-link voltage structures. The discussion on the composition of different dc-link structures is presented, which provides guidance to select appropriate transformerless inverter topologies for PV applications.

Abstract:

Human life expectancy has gradually increased in part through rapid advances in technology, including the development and use of wearable and implantable biomedical electronic devices and sensing monitors. A new architecture is proposed in this paper to replace the traditional diode circuit implementation in wireless power supply systems applied to the above-mentioned devices and monitors. By achieving near-ideal power transistor switching and leveraging the characteristics of conventional diodes to prevent reverse current, the proposed approach greatly improves the performance of the energy harvester in power conversion. The MOS harvester used in the uninterrupted permanent wireless near-field power supply described here for use in biomedical systems was designed and verified using the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) standard 180-nm process, achieving performance results of Voltage conversion efficiency (VCE) = 73.55–95.12% and Power conversion efficiency (PCE) = 80.36–90.08% with the output load (0.1–1 kΩ) under 3.3 V ac input with an overall area of 1.189 mm2. These results are expected to create an important technical niche for new “green-energy” miniaturized energy sensing systems including cutting edge wirelessly powered biomedical electronics applications.

Abstract:

Introduction. Wind energy conversion system is getting a lot of attention since, they are provide several advantages, such as cost competitive, environmentally clean, and safe renewable power source as compared with the fossil fuel and nuclear power generation. A special type of induction generator, called a doubly fed induction generator is used extensively for high-power wind energy conversion system. They are used more and more in wind turbine applications due to the advantages of variable speed operation range and its four quadrants active and reactive power capabilities, high energy efficiency, and the improved power quality. Wind energy conversion systems require a good choice of power electronic converters for the improvement of the quality of the electrical energy produced at the generator terminals. There are several power electronics converters that are the most popular such as the two stage back-back converter. Because of the disadvantage of these converters to produce large harmonics distortions, we will choose using of three-phase matrix converter. Purpose. Work presents a direct power control using space vector modulation for a doubly fed induction generator based wind turbine. The main strategy control is to control the active and reactive powers and reduce the harmonic distortion of stator currents for variable wind speed. The novelty of the work is to use a doubly fed induction machine and a three pulses matrix converter to reduce the low cost, volume and the elimination of the grid side converter controller are very attractive aspects of the proposed topology compared to the conventional methods such as back-to-back converters. Simulation results are carried out on a 1.5 MW of wind energy conversion system connected to the grid. The efficiency of the proposed system has been simulated and high results performances are evaluated to show the validity of the proposed control strategy to decouple and control the active and reactive power for different values of wind speed.

Abstract:

During the last two decades, it has been seen that power conversion from one form to another form of energy was a serious issue in power electronics. After the production of power converters such as rectifiers that convert AC-DC, inverters that convert DC-AC, voltage regulators, choppers, and cycloconverters make possible power conversion. In 1980, Venturini presented the concept of the Matrix Converter in power electronics; it consists of bidirectional IGBT switches and can conduct current and block reverse and forward voltage. Nowadays matrix converter is frequently utilized for power conversion because it can convert AC-AC, AC-DC, DC-DC, and DC- AC directly without an energy storage device which results in less complexity and cost. In matrix converters, high switching frequency harmonics are produced due to the switching of converters and need to be minimized. In this paper, an LC filter is employed to mitigate the problem of harmonics at the output of the three-phase matrix converter. A three-phase matrix converter with an LC filter is presented in this paper and the SVM technique is used for the generation of pulses. Simulation results are carried out through MATLAB software.

Abstract:

In piezoelectric energy harvesting systems, the energy harvesting circuit is the interface between a piezoelectric device and an electrical load. A conventional view of this interface is based on impedance matching concepts. In fact, an energy harvesting circuit can also apply electrical boundary conditions, such as voltage and charge, to the piezoelectric device for each energy conversion cycle. An optimized electrical boundary condition can therefore increase the mechanical energy flow into the device and the energy conversion efficiency of the device. We present a study of active energy harvesting, a type of energy harvesting approach which uses switch-mode power electronics to control the voltage and/or charge on a piezoelectric device relative to the mechanical input for optimized energy conversion. Under quasi-static assumptions, a model based on the electromechanical boundary conditions is established. Some practical limiting factors of active energy harvesting, due to device limitations and the efficiency of the power electronic circuitry, are discussed. In the experimental part of the article, active energy harvesting is demonstrated with a multilayer PVDF polymer device. In these experiments, the active energy harvesting approach increased the harvested energy by a factor of five for the same mechanical displacement compared to an optimized diode rectifier-based circuit.

This paper presents a comprehensive review of multi-port power electronics converters used for application in AC, DC, or hybrid distribution systems in an Internet of Energy scenario. In particular, multi-port solid-state transformer (SST) topologies have been addressed and classified according to their isolation capabilities and their conversion stages configurations. Non-conventional configurations have been considered. A comparison of the most relevant features and design specifications between popular topologies has been provided through a comprehensive and effective table. Potential benefits of SSTs in distribution applications have been highlighted even with reference to a network active nodes usage. This review also highlights standards and technical regulations in force for connecting SSTs to the electrical distribution system. Finally, two case studies of multi-port topologies have been presented and discussed. The first one is an isolated multi-port bidirectional dual active bridge DC-DC converter useful in fast-charging applications. The second case of study deals with a three-port AC-AC multi-level power converter in H-Bridge configuration able to replicate a network active node and capable of routing and controlling energy under different operating conditions.

Abstract:

A comprehensive model for micro-powered piezoelectric generator (PG), analysis of operation, and control of voltage doubler joule thief (VDJT) circuit to find the piezoelectric devices (PD’s) optimum functioning points are discussed in the present article. The proposed model demonstrates the power dependence of the PG on mechanical excitation, frequency, and acceleration, as well as outlines the load behaviour for optimal operation. The proposed VDJT circuit integrates the combination of voltage doubler (VD) and joule thief circuit, whereas the VD circuit works in Stage 1 for AC (alternating current)–DC (direct current) conversion, while a joule thief circuit works in Stage 2 for DC–DC conversion. The proposed circuit functions as an efficient power converter, which converts power from AC–DC and boosts the voltage from low to high without employing any additional electronic components and generating duty cycles. The electrical nature of the input (i.e., PD) of a VDJT circuit is in perfect arrangement with the investigated optimisation needs when using the proposed control circuit. The effectiveness of the proposed VDJT circuit is examined in terms of both simulation and experiment, and the results are presented. The proposed circuit’s performance was validated with available results of power electronics interfaces in the literature. The proposed circuit’s flexibility and controllability can be used for various applications, including mobile battery charging and power harvesting.

Abstract:

The article presents various concepts of three-phase power rectifiers with improved quality of converted electric power. This effect is obtained by modulating the currents in the DC output circuits of the rectifiers by means of power electronics controlled voltage or current sources, working as a so-called voltage or current modulators. For further quality improvement of the grid currents of the analyzed systems, it was proposed to use an additional controlled current source connected in parallel to the DC load, hereinafter referred to as a supporting system. The original elaborated method of controlling this source (supporting system) was presented. The main goal of the work was to propose a solution for an effective method of improving the quality of energy conversion in rectifier systems, especially high power ones, by using controlled current sources in DC circuits, operating as the power electronics current modulator and the supporting system.

Abstract:

In the long run, regenerative energy sources represent the most important alternatives to fossil fuels. In general, they are characterized by decentralized logistics and supply capabilities due to ihnerent lower energetic densitiy per are, when compared with the fossil counterparts. As a result, the increased use of regenerative energy sources will require decentralized structures for energy supply, consumption optimisation and regional balancing between supply and demand. Both, the more efficient utilization of fossil energy sources and the utilization of regenerative energy sources, lead to increasingly decentralized supply structures and can be understood as being both complementary and convergent in relation to each other. Most of the converter units for utilization of decentralized energy resources (DER) use power electronics for the AC power conditioning with grid quality. The current paper shows market perspectives of DER applications and the impact of SiC on these application.

Abstract:

Generally speaking, asynchronous generators are used more frequently in medium power in wind energy conversion systems WECS applications. Depending on the power electronics converter used in the specific application, the operation of the asynchronous machine can be controlled in nested speed torque loops, using different torque control algorithms. Because WECS are highly nonlinear systems, but with smooth nonlinearities, a possible optimal control design solution can be the maximum power point tracking MPPT in this paper. This research describes a comparison of the power quality for wind power systems based on two generators: the squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG), the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). At first, we simulated SCIG and DFIG in MATLAB/Simulink and investigates the impact of this generators on the power system stability for compare the results and to comment on the best option based on the output characteristics of the generator and wind turbine. The technical objective of this research is to choose the most suitable generator adaptive with changing wind speeds and the most energy production

Abstract:

The ubiquitous diffusion of Power Electronic Converters (PECs) in many fields of application including traction and energy conversion suggests the possibility of new and better integration of advanced power conversion and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services. This work investigates the possible advancements in the use of optical communication links made of plastic optical fibers for control of PECs. The optical communication link connects the switching control to the converter control, following the line of separation between the expertise of power electronic and control engineers. Control wise, a PEC is a black box compatible with any off-board controller, now immune from the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) produced by the power switches. The redundant optical link is ready for the high switching and sampling frequencies, made possible by relying on SiC power semiconductor devices (100+ kHz). Distributed control of multiple PEC units and advanced telemetry for diagnostics and prognostics are targeted. A proof-of-concept demonstrator is presented and tested. Moreover, the possible evolution towards a power electronic cloud with remote management and orchestration is described.

Abstract:

High-quality electrical energy is the most needed thing for standard living. We use power electronics converters for the conversion of different forms of electrical energy and we use them for producing quality power output. We use semiconductor devices as switches in the process of conversion of DC-DC, AC-DC, AC-AC, and DC-AC according to the requirement of the system. In this paper, an attempt is made to analyze the quality of output power from a multilevel inverter which is used in the conversion of DC supply to AC output voltage. Production of quality power by optimizing the multilevel inverter switching using Whale Optimization Algorithm helps the proposed inverter topology to perform well. The suggested topology and the optimization technique will help in harvesting multiple renewable energy sources with improved quality of power. Different DC sources of different voltage levels could be connected in input and the resultant AC output has less ripple content as per the IEEE standard. A detailed comparison has been made to show the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract:

Power electronic modules are key elements in the chain of power conversion. The application areas include aerospace, aviation, railway, electrical distribution, automotive, home automation, oil industry ... But the use of power electronics in high temperature environments is a major strategic issue in the coming years especially in transport. However, the active components based on silicon are limited in their applications and not suitable for those require both high voltages and high ambient temperatures. The materials with wide energy gap like SiC, GaN and diamond, have the advantage of being able to exceed these limits [1,2]. These materials seem adequate to extremely harsh temperature environments and allow the reduction of cooling systems, but also the increasing of switching frequency.

Abstract:

The investigation into new sources of energy with the highest efficiency which are derived from existing energy sources is a significant research area and is attracting a great deal of interest. Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting is a promising alternative for obtaining energy for wireless devices directly from RF energy sources in the environment. An overview of the energy harvesting concept will be discussed in detail in this paper. Energy harvesting is a very promising method for the development of self-powered electronics. Many applications, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart environments, the military or agricultural monitoring depend on the use of sensor networks which require a large variety of small and scattered devices. The low-power operation of such distributed devices requires wireless energy to be obtained from their surroundings in order to achieve safe, self-sufficient and maintenance-free systems. The energy harvesting circuit is known to be an interface between piezoelectric and electro-strictive loads. A modern view of circuitry for energy harvesting is based on power conditioning principles that also involve AC-to-DC conversion and voltage regulation. Throughout the field of energy conversion, energy harvesting circuits often impose electric boundaries for devices, which are important for maximizing the energy that is harvested. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) is described as the ratio between the rectifier’s output DC power and the antenna-based RF-input power (before its passage through the corresponding network).

Abstract:

Vibration energy harvesting has received much attention as a new type of power solution for low-power micro/nano-devices. However, VEH (vibration energy harvester) based on PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) piezoelectric materials have a low output power and energy conversation efficiency due to the relatively low piezoelectric constant, coupling coefficient, and dielectric constant. For this reason, we design a vibration energy conversion power supply, which consists of a VEH with a PVDF piezoelectric thin film planar array vibration structure and an energy harvesting circuit for regulating the electric energy of multiple sources. Furthermore, our solution was validated by simulations of structural dynamics in COMSOL and equivalent circuits model in Multisim. From the circuitry simulation results, the output current and the charging period increase and decrease, doubling, respectively, for each doubling of the number of array groups of films. Moreover, the solid mechanics simulation results show that the planar array structure makes the phase and amplitude of the input vibration waves as consistent as possible so that the same theoretical enhancement effect of the circuitry model is achieved. An identical experimental test was implemented with vibration conditions of 75 Hz-2.198 g. The fabricated harvester quickly charged the 22 V-0.022 F ultracapacitor bank to 5 V in 24 min. The maximum open circuit voltage and output power, respectively, were 10.4 V and 0.304 mW. This maximum charging power was 11.69 times higher than that of a single film. This special power supply can replace batteries to power low-power electronics deployed in vibrating environments, thus reducing the maintenance costs of equipment and environmental pollution rates.
