Abstract:

In low and medium voltage power conversion systems, multilevel converters are becoming more and more attractive due to improved power density. However, the complexity of topology and control is a big challenge for the application of multilevel converters. In this paper, a four-level (4L) hybrid flying capacitor (FC) T-type converter has been researched in detail. The topological advantage of the converter is displayed in comparison to existing four-level converters. According to the feature of the topology, the operating status has been analyzed and the reason for the voltage jump is researched in detail during the dead-time period. A strategy to reduce voltage jump by adjusting the switching states has be presented. The FC voltages can be balanced by selecting the appropriate switching states. The relationships between the fluctuations of FC voltages and the modulation index and power factor (PF) have been analyzed by simulation results. The performance of the 4L converter has been investigated in MATLAB/Simulink as well as on a down-scaled laboratory prototype.

Abstract:

A comparison is made in this paper between three high voltage gain converters. The first one is a boost converter with an additional level including a coupling inductor for increasing the voltage gain. The second is a converter that is capable to be extended to N parallel converter and the third one uses a clamp circuit to increase gain with a coupled inductor. Three converters are compared in voltage and current peak value and utilization coefficient of active switch and output diode, their ZVS and ZCS condition in the ON and OFF time and voltage gain. Finally the first converter circuit is simulated in PSpice with the two other converters input voltages and the results are compared.

Abstract:

High-capacity power-supply systems using a large input voltage typically improve efficiency and can be miniaturized by dividing the input voltage into multiple small voltages, thereby minimizing the stress on the switching element and thus materializing a fast switching function. When a large input voltage is divided into small voltages in series through a DC link capacitor, power is supplied to each converter and the power of each LLC (Inductor-Inductor-Capacitor) converter can be divided and converted. However, such LLC converters, which are configured by the division of the input voltage, have power imbalance due to the parameter variation between active and passive elements of the power board, which results in an increase in the stress and heat of a particular element. As this problem of power balance necessitates a design for securing a power margin and as the heated element increases its volume, the efficiency and reliability of the LLC converter are degenerated. Accordingly, this study attempted to solve the problem of the power imbalance of LLC converters at each level using a coupled shunt inductor and multiple-input transformers sharing magnetic coupling.

Abstract. The use of multiple supply voltages to reduce active mode power dissipation in digital ULSI circuits has been widely discussed in literature. As the reported power savings differ significantly depending on the technology and level converter circuits an abstract approach is used to investigate the impact of power consumption and delay caused by the level converters (what-if-scenarios). Actual circuits are used to map the theoretical investigations to real circuits. In contrast to clustered voltage scaling, where level conversion is only allowed in front of or within flipflops the power saving benefits of enhanced clustered voltage scaling with arbitrary converter positions vanish due to the lack of efficient asynchronous level converters.

Abstract:

A bidirectional three-level soft switching circuit topology is proposed and implemented for medium voltage applications such as 750 V dc light rail transit, high power converters, or dc microgrid systems. The studied converter is constructed with a three-level diode-clamp circuit topology with the advantage of low voltage rating on the high-voltage side and a full-bridge circuit topology with the advantage of a low current rating on the low-voltage side. Under the forward power flow operation, the three-level converter is operated to regulate load voltage. Under the reverse power flow operation, the full-bridge circuit is operated to control high-side voltage. The proposed LLC resonant circuit is adopted to achieve bidirectional power operation and zero-voltage switching (ZVS). The achievability of the studied bidirectional ZVS converter is established from the experiments.

Abstract:

Wind power generation has increased in the past twenty years due to the development of power electronic converters. Power generation through wind has advantages over other renewable sources, such as having more efficiency, being pollution-free, and its abundant availability. Power electronic converters play a vital role in the wind energy conversion system. This paper presents a wind-electric system with a permanent magnet synchronous generator, diode rectifier, DC-DC converter (buck-Boost or Cuk converter), and a three-phase five-level inverter. The five-level inverter is a modified form of a cascaded H-bridge inverter that uses a single DC source as an input irrespective of several levels and phases. As the wind speed changes, the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) voltage and frequency changes, but for practical applications, these changes should not be allowed; hence, a voltage controller is used that maintains the output voltage of a DC converter, andthus a constant AC output is obtained. The DClink voltage is maintained at the desired voltage by a Proportional plus Integral (PI)-based voltage controller. The DC link voltage fed to the multilevel inverter (MLI) is converted to AC to feed the load. The MLI is controlled with a new Selected Harmonic Elimination (SHE), which decreases the total harmonic distortion (THD). The system is simulated with an Resistive plus Inductive (RL) load and is tested experimentally with the same load;the results prove that the Cuk converter has a better efficiency compared to the Buck-Boost converter, and the system has less THD when compared with the conventional SHE Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique.

Abstract:

The present article considers the voltage forming by multilevel converters. Multilevel converters are widely used in industry applications with medium voltages up to 20 kV. An example is the oil industry, where multilevel converters are installed in electric drives of pumping units on pipeline systems. The location of the pipelines in isolated areas implies weak net connections for power system and expects increased requirements for the efficiency of the use of electricity. In this regard, for a multilevel voltage converter, an energy-efficient vector method of pulse-width modulation is proposed. With vector pulse-width modulation, the optimal number of voltage level switching occurs in the phases of the converter, which leads to the lowest harmonic distortion of the voltage, compared with other modulation methods. The features of vector pulse-width modulation in multilevel voltage converters caused by the increased number of basic voltage vectors of a static multilevel converter are analyzed. A step-by-step method of vector pulse-width modulation in a multilevel converter is proposed, including determining the base vectors of the converter closest to a reference voltage vector, calculating the time for each of the base vectors, maintaining the switching order between the base vectors. The method is considered in detail for a multilevel converter with five voltage levels in a phase. In conclusion, the results of modeling control system of this converter with the proposed method of vector pulse-width modulation are presented. According to the obtained time diagrams of voltage formation, a hodograph of the resulting vector of the output voltage of a multilevel static converter was constructed.

Abstract:

Switched-capacitor converters and their alternatives have been shown to provide high efficiency with high power densities on smaller volumes, and can thereby be a suitable choice for energy harvesting. This paper proposes a hybrid power architecture based on a switched-capacitor topology and a boost converter that can be used for such purposes. A switching capacitor circuit can achieve any voltage ratio, allowing a boost converter to increase the input voltage to higher voltage levels. The first stage is unregulated with high-efficiency voltage conversion. The boost stage provides a regulated voltage output on such a converter. Rather than cascading two converters, their operation is integrated for the output voltage regulation. One major problem of switched-capacitor converters is output voltage regulation, which is solved by the interconnection of the power stages. The simplicity and robustness of the solution provide the possibility to achieve higher voltage ratios than cascading boost converters and provide higher efficiency. The converter’s size and cost can be improved with the integration of switching capacitors in DC-DC converter structures. A converter prototype has been designed, modelled, and built for the input voltage level of 2 V and power level of 5 W.

Abstract:

DC-DC converters occupies very significant role in the field of industries or daily life applications. To charge batteries of low voltage connected to uninterrupted power supply (UPS), DC-DC converters are needed. Batteries requires low voltage and the available voltage at the source is to be step-down to the required level of voltage at the point of utility (PoU). While designing DC-DC converters, efficiency and simplicity of the circuit is very much important. Simply for the UPS applications, Buck converter can deliver the voltage at required level which is very simple in operation but the increased losses in diode can be addresses by using a synchronous Buck converter. By using synchronous Buck converter, the diode conduction losses in Buck converter can be minimized, thus improving the efficiency of the converter. In this paper, Synchronous Buck converter is used to charge the batteries of UPS. In this paper Design, modeling of synchronous Buck converter for UPS application was done and its results were obtained by using Matlab/Simulink. A hardware prototype was also developed and the hardware results were also shown.

Abstract:

Power dissipation of integrated circuits is the most demanding issue for very large scale integration (VLSI) design engineers, especially for portable and mobile applications. Use of multiple supply voltages systems, which employs level converter between two voltage islands is one of the most effective ways to reduce power consumption. In this thesis work, a unique level converter known as universal level converter (ULC), capable of four distinct level converting operations, is proposed. The schematic and layout of ULC are built and simulated using CADENCE. The ULC is characterized by performing three analysis such as parametric, power, and load analysis which prove that the design has an average power consumption reduction of about 85-97% and capable of producing stable output at low voltages like 0.45V even under varying load conditions.

Abstract:

This thesis is dedicated to a comprehensive study of static series synchronous compensator (SSSC) systems utilizing cascaded-multilevel converters (CMCs). Among flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controllers, the SSSC has shown feasibility in terms of cost-effectiveness in a wide range of problem-solving abilities from transmission to distribution levels. Referring to the literature reviews, the CMC with separated DC capacitors is clearly the most feasible topology for use as a power converter in the SSSC applications. The control for the CMC-Based SSSC is complicated. The design of the complicated control strategy was begun with well-defined system transfer functions. The stability of the system was achieved by trial and error processes, which were time-consuming and ineffective. The goal of this thesis is to achieve a reliable controller design for the CMC-based SSSC. Major contributions are addressed as follows: 1) accurate models of the CMC for reactive power compensations in both ABC and DQ0 coordinates, and 2) an effective decoupling power control technique. To simplify the control system design, well-defined models of the CMC-Based SSSC in both ABC and DQ0 coordinates are proposed. The proposed models are for the CMC-Based SSSC focus on only three voltage levels but can be expanded for any number of voltage levels. The key system transfer functions are derived and used in the controller design process. To achieve independent power control capability, the control technique, called the decoupling power control used in the design for the CMC-Based STATCOM is applied. This control technique allows both the real and reactive power components to be independently controlled. With the combination of the decoupling power control and the cascaded PWM, a CMC with any number of voltage levels can be simply modeled as a three-level cascaded converter, which is the simplest topology to deal with. This thesis focuses on the detailed design process needed for a CMC-Based SSSC.

Abstract:

A new concept, the multi level voltage/current reinjection ac/dc conversion, is described in this thesis. Novel voltage and current source converter configurations, based on voltage and current reinjection concepts are proposed. These converter configurations are thoroughly analyzed in their ac and dc system sides. The fundamentals of the reinjection concept is discussed briefly, which lead to the derivation of the ideal reinjection waveform for complete harmonic cancellation and approximations for practical implementation. The concept of multi level voltage reinjection VSC is demonstrated through two types of configurations, based on standard 12-pulse parallel and series connected VSC modified with reinjection bridges and transformers. Firing control strategies and steady state waveform analysis are presented and verified by EMTDC simulations. The multi level current reinjection CSC is also described using two configurations based on standard 12-pulse parallel and series connected CSC modified with associated reinjection circuitry. Firing control strategies and steady state waveform analysis are presented and verified by EMTDC simulations. Taking the advantage of zero current switching in the main bridge valves, achieved through multi level current reinjection, an advanced multi level current reinjection scheme, consisting thyristor main bridges and self-commutated reinjection circuitry is proposed. This hybrid scheme effectively incorporates self-commutated capability into a conventional thyristor converter. The ability of the main bridge valves to commutate without the assistance of a turn-off pulse or line commutating voltage under the zero current condition is explained and verified by EMTDC simulations. Finally, the applications of the MLCR-CSC are discussed in terms of a back to back HVDC link and a long distance HVDC transmission system. The power and control structures and closed loop control strategies are presented. Dynamic simulation is carried out on PSCAD/EMTDC to demonstrate the two systems ability to respond to varying active and reactive power operating conditions.

Abstract:

Two vital and dynamically changing issues are arising in the electric grid - an increase in electrical power demand, and subsequent reduction in power quality. Power electronics based solutions such as the Static Synchronous Compensator are increasingly deployed to mitigate power quality issues while High Voltage DC Transmission converters are currently installed to support the existing grid transmission capacity. Both applications require high power and high voltage power converters using switching devices with limited voltage ratings. The advent of Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) is one of the recent responses to this need. These use half or full H-bridge circuits stacked up to form a chain, and hence can withstand high voltages using lower-rated switching devices. This thesis introduces a new member into the MMC family, i.e the Modular Multi-level Flying Capacitor Converter (MMFCC). This uses a three-level flying capacitor full-bridge circuit as a sub-module and offers features of modularity, scalability and fault tolerance. The choice of FC topology in place of the simple H-bridge stems from the FC’s ability to offer two extra voltage levels in the sub-module output and hence more degrees of freedom per module in controlling the voltage waveform. A three-level full-bridge FC sub-module uses three capacitors - an outer one for supporting the sub-module voltage, and two inner floating ones with half of the outer one’s capacitance and voltage rating. This use of slightly more complex FC sub-modules gives the benefits of a modular structure but without using twice as many sub-modules with their associated capacitors for the same total voltage. The thesis presents the principles of this topology, switching states redundancies and a method for capacitor voltage balancing. Also discussed are: the configuration of MMCC including the MMFCC in Single-Star Bridge-Cell (SSBC) or Single-Delta Bridge-Cell (SDBC) for FACTS and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) applications; and Double-Star Chopper-Cell (DSCC) or Double-Star Bridge-Cell (DSBC) for HVDC systems. A novel overlapping hexagon pulse width modulation scheme is introduced and discussed for switching control of the MMFCC. This uses multiple hexagons all centred on one point, the same in number as the cascaded FC sub-modules, which are phase displaced relative to each other. The approach simplifies the modulation algorithm and brings flexibility in shaping the output voltage waveforms for different applications. An MMFCC experimental rig was designed and built in-house to validate some of the simulation results obtained for the modulation of this new topology. Details of the rig as well as results captured are discussed.

Abstract:

A new power conditioning system (PCS) for superconductive magnetic energy storage (SMES) is developed and its prototype test system is built and tested. The PCS uses IGBTs for high-speed PWM operation and has a multi-level chopper-VSC structure. The prototype test system has three-level that can handle up to 250-kVA with a 1800-V DC link, a 200-A maximum load current , and a switching frequency reaching 20-kHz with the help of zero-current-transition (ZCT) soft-switching. This PCS has a great number of advantages over conventional ones in terms of size, speed, and cost. Conventional PCSs use thyristors, due to the power capacity of the SMES system. The speed limit of the thyristor uses a six-pulse operation that generates a high harmonic. To reduce the harmonic, multiple PCSs are connected together with phase-matching transformers that need to be precise to be effective in reducing the harmonics. So, the system becomes large and expensive. In addition, the dynamic range of the PCSs are also limited by the six-pulse operation, because it limits the useful area of the PCS applications. By employing a high-speed PWM, the new PCS can reduce the harmonics without using the transformers reducing size and cost, and has wide dynamic range. However, the speed of a switching device is generally inversely proportional to its power handling capacity. Therefore, employing a multi-level structure is one method of extending the power-handling capability of the high-speed device. Switching loss is another factor that limits the speed of the switch, but it can be reduced by soft-switching techniques. The 20-kHz switching frequency can be obtained with the help of the ZCT soft-switching technique, which can reduce about 90% of switching losses from the IGBT during both turn-on and turn-off transients. There are two different topologies of the PCS; the current source converter (CSC) type and the chopper and voltage source converter (VSC) type. In terms of the SMES system efficiency, the chopper-VSC type shows a less volt-ampere requirement of the power device. Therefore, the new PCS system has a chopper-VSC structure. Since the chopper-VSC structure consists of multiple legs that can be modularized, a power electronics building block (PEBB) leg is a good choice; all of the system problems caused by the high frequency can be solved within the PEBB leg. The VSC is built with three of the PEBB legs. Three-phase AC is implemented with a three-level space vector modulation (SVM) that can reduce the number of switching and harmonic contents from the output current. A closed-loop control system is also implemented for the VSC, and shows 600-Hz control bandwidth. The multi-level structure used requires too many high-speed switches. However, not all of them are used at the same time during normal multi-level operation. A new multi-level topology is suggested that requires only two high-speed switches, regardless of the number of levels. Other switches can be replaced with slow-speed switches that can allow additional cost savings.

Abstract:

As wide-bandgap devices continue to experience deeper penetration in commercial applications, there are still a number of factors which make the adoption of such technologies difficult. One of the most notable issues with the application of wide-bandgap technologies is meeting existing noise requirements and regulations. Due to the faster dv/dt and di/dt of SiC devices, more noise is generated in comparison to Si IGBTs. Therefore, in order to fully experience the benefits offered by this new technology, the noise must either be filtered or mitigated by other means. A survey of various DC/DC topologies was conducted in order to find a candidate for a battery interface in a UPS system. A three-level NPC topology was explored for its potential benefit in terms of noise, efficiency, and additional features. This converter topology was modeled, simulated, and a hardware prototype constructed for evaluation within a UPS system, although its uses are not limited to such applications. A UPS system is a good example of an application with strict noise requirements which must be fulfilled according to IEC standards. Based on a newly devised mode of operation, this converter was verified to produce no common-mode voltage under ideal conditions, and was able to provide a 6 dB reduction in common-mode voltage emissions in the UPS prototype. This was done while achieving a peak efficiency in excess of 99% with the ability to provide bidirectional power flow between the UPS and battery backup. The converter was verified to operate at the rated UPS conditions of 20 kW while converting between a total DC bus voltage of 800 V and a nominal battery voltage of 540 V.

As material advancements allow for the creation of devices with superior electrical characteristics compared to their predecessors, there are still a number of factors which cause these devices to see limited usage in commercial applications. These devices, typically referred to as wide-bandgap devices, include silicon carbide (SiC) transistors. These SiC devices allow for much faster switching speeds, greater efficiencies, and lower system volume compared to their silicon counterparts. However, due to the faster switching of these devices, there is more electromagnetic noise generated. In many applications, this noise must be filtered or otherwise mitigated in order to meet international standards for commercial use. Consequently, new converter topologies and configurations are necessary to provide the most benefit of the new wide-bandgap devices while still meeting the strict noise requirements. A survey of topologies was conducted and the modeling, design, and testing of one topology was performed for use in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This converter was able to provide a noticeable reduction in noise compared to standard topologies while still achieving very high efficiency at rated conditions. This converter was also verified to provide power bidirectionally—both when the UPS is charging the battery backup, and when the battery is supplying power to the load.

Abstract:

The advancements in power electronics have supported the widespread penetration of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) in electric grids. In this context, power converters have crucial functionality in the control of active and reactive power injection, moreover they are directly related to voltage and current harmonic distortion levels, mechanical and thermal stress that are experienced by the wind turbine. Currently, several topologies have been tested in order to improve the performance and increase the power processing of WECS to support the network demand. Based on the relevance of this issue, this paper presents a performance comparison of a Double Fed Induction Generator(DFIG)-based WECS employing three topologies of back-toback converters: two-level voltage source converter topology (2L-VSC), neutral point clamped (NPC) and modular multilevel converter (MMC). Simulation results present DFIG currents, voltages, torque, speed and the total harmonic distortion (THD), highlighting the performance improvement employing multilevel topologies and the impacts of using each topology.

Abstract:

Currently, to evaluate the dynamic characteristics of objects, quite a large number of devices are used in the form of chronographs, which consist of various optical, thermal and laser sensors. Among the problems of these devices, the following can be distinguished: the lack of recording of the received data; the inaccessibility of taking into account the trajectory of the object flying in the sensor area, as well as taking into consideration the trajectory of the object during the approach to the device frame. The signal received from the infrared sensors is recorded in a separate document in txt format, in the form of a table. When you turn to the document, data is read from the current position of the input data stream in the specified list by an argument in accordance with the given condition. As a result of reading the data, it forms an array that includes N number of columns. The array is constructed in a such way that the first column includes time values, and columns 2...N- the value of voltage . The algorithm uses cycles that perform the function of deleting array rows where there is a fact of exceeding the threshold value in more than two columns, as well as rows where the threshold level was not exceeded. The modified array is converted into two new arrays, each of which includes data from different sensor frames. An array with the coordinates of the centers of the sensor operation zones was created to apply the Pythagorean theorem in three-dimensional space, which is necessary for calculating the exact distance between the zones. The time is determined by the difference in the response of the first and second sensor frames. Knowing the path and time, we are able to calculate the exact speed of the object. For visualization, the oscillograms of each sensor channel were displayed, and a chronograph model was created. The chronograph model highlights in purple the area where the threshold has been exceeded.
