Повний текст джерелаLa presente tesis trata sobre el funcionamiento de los convertidores modulares de multinivel (MMC) utilizados en la transmisión de energía eléctrica en corriente continua, en particular para aplicaciones de media y alta tensión. En primer lugar, se presenta la evolución de los convertidores utilizados en el campo de la transmisión de energía eléctrica mediante enlaces en corriente continua de alta tensión(HVdc), haciendo especial énfasis en los convertidores de topología multinivel. Debido a la naturaleza intrínseca del convertidor MMC, se debe regular el intercambio de potencia entre las redes de corriente alterna y continua a las que se conecta, junto con la energía interna almacenada, para asegurar un buen funcionamiento del mismo. Por ello, se presenta una descripción del control del convertidor soportada por un riguroso análisis matemático. El diseño de los diferentes lazos de control se valida mediante simulaciones representando diferentes condiciones de funcionamiento posibles. Un factor clave del rendimiento del MMC es la estrategia de modulación utilizada para aplicar voltajes en cada una de sus ramas. Para evaluar sus diferencias a nivel de pérdidas, se presenta una comparativa entre diferentes técnicas de modulación incorporando secuencia homopolar. Este estudio se complementa con el estudio de diferentes procedimientos seguidos para equilibrar el almacenamiento de energía en los condensadores de una rama. Una cuestión de investigación transversal de esta topología de convertidor de tensión es su eficiencia. Posteriormente, se obtiene una expresión matemática que permite describir las pérdidas de los semiconductores del convertidor en funcionamiento, para diferentes niveles de transferencia de potencia. Finalmente, se analizan los posibles grados de libertad de un MMC operando en modo de compensación de potencia reactiva (STATCOM). En base a la operación de dicho convertidor y de la variable que se requiera optimizar, resulta posible variar la tensión entre sus polos DC para lograr un mejor funcionamiento del convertidor

Повний текст джерелаPower electronic converters are widely used in industrial power conversion systems both for utility and drives applications. As the power level increases, the voltage level is increased accordingly to obtain satisfactory efficiency. During the last years, the voltage rating of fast switching high voltage semiconductors such as the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) has increased. Still, there is a need for series connection of switching devices. In this area of applications, the Multilevel Converter has shown growing popularity.
The fundamental advantages of the Multilevel Converter topologies are low distorted output waveforms and limited voltage stress on the switching devices. The main disadvantages are higher complexity and more difficult control.
In this thesis, Multilevel Converters are analysed for large motor drive applications. The main focus has been on converter losses, output waveform quality and control.
Analytical expressions for both switching and conduction losses for 4- and 5-level Diode Clamped Converters have been developed. The investigation shows that the losses can be reduced by utilizing a multilevel topology for a 1 MW drive. This work is presented in [46]. The same reduction in losses is proven for a 2300V/ 3 MW drive.
Analytical expressions for the harmonic losses in 3-level converters have been developed for 2 different Carrier Based PWM schemes, presented in [56], [57] and [58]. Also Space Vector PWM are investigated and compared by simulations, in addition to 4- and 5-level Carrier Based PWM.
DC-bus balancing in both 3- and 5-level converters is discussed. Balancing in 3- level converters can be achieved by proper control. Balancing in 5-level converters can be achieved by proper arrangement of isolated DC-supplies.
One 40kW 3-level converter and one 5kW 5-level converter has been designed and built. Experimental verification of the analytical and simulated results is shown.

Повний текст джерелаWith the progressive rise of the micro-grids incorporating renewable energy sources, a new electricity distribution paradigm is emerging. These new architectures interface uncontrolled consumers with intermittent energy sources, therefore imposing more stress on the conversion, storage and management of the energy.Power converters are adapting accordingly, in particular, with the development of multi-level converters, which allow higher power rates and better power quality than their predecessors with similar components, but whose control is becoming increasingly complex.Due to their hybrid nature, the control of power converters is traditionally split into two parts: on the one side, the continuous objectives related to the main interfacing function of the power converters, and, on the other side, the driving of their quantized power switches, known as the modulation strategy.In this context, the growing demands in efficiency, reliability, versatility and performance require a high level of intelligence of the complete control structure. To meet these requirements, the objectives of this research work are to address both the interfacing objectives and the inner driving of the converter into a single controller. This decision implies incorporating the non-linearity of power converters into the controller, equivalent to suppressing the traditional modulation block. Modulation is the traditional solution to linearize the inner operation of the converters. The Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach was chosen to handle the non-linearity and the diversity of control objectives that accompany power converters.The developed control algorithm combines graph theory, with Dijkstra, A* and other algorithms, with a special state-space model designed for switching systems to form a powerful universal tool capable of simultaneously manipulating the discrete and continuous nature of the converter and its environment. Switched state-space models are studied, leading to interesting results on stability and controllability concerning their application on power converters.The obtained controller is then tested in simulation, with various case studies: grid-connected and standalone inverter, rectifier and bidirectional operation. These situations are studied for three common multi-level topologies: Neutral Point-Clamped, Flying Capacitor and Cascaded H-Bridge. The exact same MPC structure is used for each and every one of the case studies, with adaptations of its internal behavior. This behavior is agglomerated in two functions: the prediction, containing the model of the converter, and the cost function, which translates the control requirements into the optimal problem solved by the algorithm. Changing the topology implies adjusting the model, without impacting the cost function, while modifying this function is sufficient to adapt to the different applications.The results show that the controller manages to directly drive the power switches according to the application, demonstrating a large variety of considerations and objectives. The overall performance of this unique structure is comparable to that of the multiple structures used for each of the studied cases, with the notable exception of rectifier operation mode, where the speed and range of possibilities are particularly interesting.In conclusion, the developed controller manages miscellaneous applications, topologies, objectives and constraints. While the traditional linear control structures have to change, often deeply, for different operation modes and control requirements, such modifications do not affect the control architecture of the designed MPC controller. This shows the versatility of the proposed solution and its universality, further demonstrated by its ability to adapt to different power converters without modifications. Finally, the complexity of the modulation is fully included in the structure, offering simplicity and flexibility to the control design

A més, gràcies a l'estada d'un any de l'autor al Center for Power Electronics Systems (CPES) a Virginia Tech, USA, la tesi també inclou resultats experimentals que consoliden les conclusions i metodologies presentades. Les principals contribucions es resumeixen a continuació.
Es presenta un nou algorisme de modulació vectorial PWM que aprofita simetries del diagrama vectorial per a reduir el temps de processat. S'analitzen i es quantifiquen les oscil·lacions de tensió de baixa freqüència que apareixen en el punt central dels condensadors del convertidor de tres nivells. Aquesta informació permet dimensionar els condensadors donades les especificacions d'una determinada aplicació.
L'algorisme de modulació també s'aplica a convertidors de més nivells. Pel cas concret del convertidor de quatre nivells, es comprova l'existència de corrents continus en els punts mitjos dels condensadors que fan que els sistema sigui inestable. Es determinen gràficament les zones d'inestabilitat.
Es presenta un nou i eficient algorisme de modulació vectorial feedforward en el convertidor de tres nivells que és capaç de generar tensions trifàsiques de sortida equilibrades, malgrat l'existència de desequilibris en les tensions dels condensadors.
S'estudien els efectes negatius de càrregues lineals desequilibrades i càrregues no lineals en el control de les tensions dels condensadors. Es justifica que l'existència d'un quart harmònic en els corrents de càrrega pot inestabilitzar el sistema. És determina la màxima amplitud tolerable d'aquest harmònic.
S'estudia la millora en l'equilibrat de les tensions d'una connexió de dos convertidors de tres nivells al mateix bus de continua (back-to-back connection). Un exemple d'aplicació pràctica és la conversió AC/DC/AC per a l'accionament de motors d'alterna treballant amb factor de potència unitari.
Finalment s'aplica un controlador òptim al convertidor de tres nivells treballant com a rectificador elevador (boost). El llaç de control LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator) es simplifica donat que la tasca d'equilibrat de les tensions dels condensadors es dur a terme en el mateix modulador.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: This report presents the design and development of a multilevel inverter for DC reticulation. Two main multilevel inverter topologies are introduced and discussed. The research focusses on the flying capacitor multilevel topology, since it became evident that it is more suitable for DC reticulation than the diode clamped multilevel topology. A bootstrap power supply for the gate drive circuits of a multilevel inverter is developed and its feasibility verified experimentally. A self-starting auxiliary power supply, that aims at addressing the power supply problem of DC to AC and DC to DC converters, is designed and its functionality demonstrated on a flying capacitor multilevel inverter. An FPGA based digital controller for implementing the inverter's control algorithms is also discussed. This controller incorporates a feed-forward output voltage regulation technique. Experimental results obtained with the four-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter, using the FPGA based digital controller and the self-starting auxiliary power supply, are presented in this report.

Повний текст джерелаA closed-loop dynamic model for the current control loop of the boost PFC converter with the ACMC has been developed. The model explains the structure of the converter input admittance, the current phase lead phenomenon, and lays the groundwork for development of the GACMC. The leading phase admittance cancellation (LPAC) principle has been proposed to completely eliminate the current phase lead phenomenon and, consequently, the zero-crossing distortion in unidirectional converters. The LPAC technique has been adapted for active compensation of the input filter capacitor current in bidirectional boost PFC converters.
The dynamic model of the current control loop for bidirectional boost PFC converters was augmented to include a reactive power controller. The proposed control strategy enables the converter to process reactive power and, thus, be used as a reactive power compensator, independently of the converter operation as an ac-dc converter.
Multiple realizations of the reactive power controller have been identified and examined in a systematic way, along with their merits and limitations, including susceptibility to the ac line noise. Frequency response characteristics of reactive elements emulated by means of these realizations have been described.
Theoretical principles and practical solutions developed in this dissertation have been experimentally verified using unidirectional and bidirectional converter prototypes. Experimental results demonstrated validity of the theory and proposed practical implementations of the GACMC.

Повний текст джерелаThis Ph.D. Dissertation presents contributions to the study of hybrid multilevel systems, analyzing several issues that compose this system, such as: topological variations of the output inverter stage and input rectifier stage, design methodologies, modulation strategies and control system. This extensive analysis is carried out because these issues are closely related, so that a modification in any element can affect the overall system performance. Initially, due to the enormous flexibility and large complexity to design hybrid multilevel converters, this work proposes a unified analysis for these converters, which are composed of several series-connected cells with distinct voltage levels, modulation strategies, topologies and/or semiconductor technologies. This unified analysis includes a detailed comparative analysis among distinct topologies and a new generalized design methodology. Different configurations of hybrid converters are proposed from this new design methodology, depending on the specifications imposed to the multilevel system. Therefore, this work can be used as a valuable tool to define an adequate hybrid configuration for a specific application. After, this work also proposes a new arrangement to implement the isolated voltage sources of the series-connected cells that compose a hybrid multilevel inverter. This new arrangement is based on the multipulse connection of uncontrolled rectifiers processing distinct power levels, unlike conventional multipulse converters. A new design methodology for this input stage is proposed in this work, defining the phase shifts among the secondaries of the isolation transformer to eliminate dominant harmonics from the current drawn from the utility grid even when the active power levels processed by rectifiers are different. This work also investigates the impact of the hybrid multilevel modulation strategy on the harmonic contents of the output voltages and input currents. After to demonstrate the negative impact of the modulation strategy on the input harmonic performance for some operating points, this Ph.D. Dissertation proposes a new modulation strategy that makes possible, together with an asymmetrical multipulse connection of rectifiers, to eliminate undesired harmonics from the input current in any operating point without affecting the output harmonic performance. Beyond these issues, this work also includes a qualitative analysis about hybrid multilevel inverters operating as actuators in closed-loop systems, to motivate a discussion about this new subject. Finally, several experimental results are presented to demonstrate the practical feasibility of some proposals of this Ph.D. Dissertation.
Esta Tese de Doutorado apresenta contribuições ao estudo de sistemas multiníveis híbridos, investigando vários temas que compõem esse sistema, tais como: variações topológicas do estágio inversor de saída e do estágio retificador de entrada, metodologias de projeto, estratégias de modulação e sistema de controle. Isso se deve principalmente ao fato que esses temas estão intimamente relacionados, de tal forma que uma alteração em qualquer elemento do sistema pode modificar o desempenho do todo. Inicialmente, devido à enorme flexibilidade e grande complexidade para projetar conversores multiníveis híbridos, esse trabalho realiza uma abordagem unificada desses conversores, que são compostos de várias células em série, com valores de tensão, estratégias de modulação, topologias e/ou tecnologias de semicondutores diferentes. Essa abordagem inclui uma análise comparativa entre várias topologias e uma nova metodologia de projeto generalizada. Assim, esse trabalho pode ser usado como uma importante ferramenta para definir um conversor híbrido adequado para uma determinada aplicação. Posteriormente, esse trabalho também propõe um novo arranjo para implementar as fontes de tensão isoladas das células que compõem um inversor multinível híbrido. Esse novo arranjo é baseado na conexão multipulso de retificadores não controlados que, ao contrário dos conversores multipulso convencionais, processam níveis distintos de potência. Uma nova metodologia de projeto generalizada é proposta nesse trabalho para esse estágio de entrada, determinando os ângulos de defasagem entre os secundários do transformador de isolação para eliminar harmônicas dominantes da corrente drenada da rede pública de energia, mesmo quando os retificadores processam níveis distintos de potência ativa. Esse trabalho também investiga o impacto da estratégia de modulação híbrida tanto no conteúdo harmônico das tensões de saída quanto no conteúdo harmônico das correntes de entrada. Após demonstrar o impacto negativo da estratégia de modulação no desempenho harmônico de entrada em alguns pontos de operação, essa Tese propõe uma nova estratégia de modulação que torna possível, juntamente com uma conexão multipulso assimétrica de retificadores, eliminar harmônicas dominantes da corrente de entrada em qualquer ponto de operação sem prejudicar o conteúdo harmônico das tensões de saída. Além desses assuntos, esse trabalho também realiza uma breve análise qualitativa do desempenho de inversores multiníveis híbridos em sistemas de controle em malha fechada, com o intuito de iniciar uma discussão sobre esse novo tema. Por fim, diversos resultados experimentais, tanto do estágio inversor de saída quanto do estágio retificador de entrada, são apresentados para demonstrar a viabilidade prática de algumas propostas dessa Tese de Doutorado.

Повний текст джерелаThis Master Thesis presents a methodology to compare different topologies and configurations of multilevel systems applied to drive medium voltage induction motors. Initially, it presents the input and output parameters that must be supplied by the power drivesystems manufacturer. Then, the mathematical models of the performance indexes used are presented, being, the total harmonic distortion, first order distortion factor and the power losses of the main semiconductors devices. After, it is presented a methodology that allows the amplitude selection of DC sources for the inverter with a specific number of cascaded Hbridge cells. A study regarding the hybrid multilevel modulation strategies and the impact of their variations on the semiconductors devices power losses of the output inverter is developed. Based on this study, it is proposed a new hybrid multilevel modulation technique, it minimizes the semiconductors power losses and allow the use of front-end uncontrolled rectifiers without modifying the total harmonic distortion of the output voltage inverter. After, it is developed a comparative study between the asymmetrical hybrid multilevel inverter and the symmetrical multilevel inverter, which enables the determination of the switching frequency for the one determined performance and the maximum switching frequency of each converter. This Master Thesis presents complementary methods of design of the hybrid multilevel inverter and a methodology that will make possible to choose the drive system that presents high efficiency and reduced cost, neither penalizing the energy quality of the utility grid nor the induction motor constraints.

Fundamentado neste estudo, é proposta uma nova técnica de modulação multinível hibrida, que minimiza as perdas nos semicondutores e permite o uso de retificadores não controlados no estágio de entrada sem modificar a distorção harmônica total da tensão de saída do inversor. Depois, é desenvolvido um estudo comparativo entre o inversor multinível híbrido assimétrico e o inversor multinível simétrico, que permite a determinação da freqüência de comutação para um rendimento específico e a máxima freqüência de comutação de cada conversor. Esta Dissertação de Mestrado apresenta métodos complementares de projeto de inversores multiníveis híbridos e uma metodologia que possibilitará escolher sistemas de acionamento que apresentem alta eficiência e custo reduzido, sem por isso prejudicar a qualidade da energia drenada da rede pública e fornecida ao motor de indução.

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis is dedicated to the multilevel converters and addresses issues related to compensation for disturbance generated on an electrical network such as those produced by arc furnaces. It is composed of four chapters covering the themes of modeling of electrical networks, voltage converters, control and compensation strategies, with simulations and experimental results obtained on high power industrial equipment. There are many networks applications and multilevel converters are here considered to be directly connected to distribution networks. Therefore, a state of the art of different voltage converters, classics and multilevel topologies, is presented and the topologies called modular are retained for further studies. These converters use modular power cells made of H bridges, ½ bridges or 3-level H bridges connected in cascade. They allow to create different types of configurations or couplings called in this memory: star, delta and double stars. The different modules and the strategies to control them are investigated around the same switching power component (IGBT 2.5kV/1.5kA). Through electrical and thermal fields, a method is proposed to estimate their losses, junction temperatures in order to determine the limits of use of such a component of power. Sizing and reliability of these converters is also discussed for each considerer configurations in order to identify the advantages and disadvantages for a network application. Generally, the multilevel converters control strategy is difficult because of the multiple sources of DC voltages to control. In this context, control strategies are proposed and validated in simulation according to the types of modules and configuration used to compensation for disturbance of an arc furnace. Finally, the last part of this thesis is devoted to the experimental results based on an industrial compensator DSVC (Dynamic Static Var Compensator) for arc furnace compensation. The different results obtained at several industrial sites have thus allowed the validation of the various works exposed in this thesis

Повний текст джерелаThe utilization of multilevel converters has been an important alternative for medium voltage applications with high power and power quality demand, thanks to the high power levels achievable for this kind of structure. Recently, this converter topology was proposed as a new possibility in renewable energy source applications, mainly in system delivering power to the grid, where different renewable energy resources may be used. Based on the characteristics of multilevel converters, and their potential applicability in distributed generation systems, this study aims to build a multilevel system that could be powered by renewable energy sources as primary sources and then connect them to a distribution grid. However, considering the energy produced by alternative sources can vary, it is analyzed the integration of a storage energy system in this multilevel topology. Taking into account this ends, the main concern of this study is related to the development of a control strategy to maximize the active power transferred to the grid. The multilevel topology employed in this study has two H-bridge inverter modules connected in series forming a cascaded configuration. Therefore, it is possible that at least one of these inverters, operating with a low frequency of modulation, process the majority of power with lower amount of losses. On this way, two control strategies for power transfer are analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are presented, and the most appropriated strategy is used in the operation of the multilevel converter system. In addition, it has been presented the design criteria for each controller and finally the validation of the proposed approach is done by mains of simulations and experimental results which show the ability of the converter to transfer constant active power to the grid and keep the grid current in phase with the grid voltage.

Повний текст джерелаIn our works, we are interested in control of high-switch-count power converters. The development of multileg, multilevel converters has opened the access to high power and high harmonic quality. The special control of these devices brings to the converter advanced abilities that are more and more requested nowadays, like active harmonic filtering, fault tolerance, active and reactive power transfer, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links, etc. However, a higher number of switches in a conversion structure leads to a higher number of control variables, as well as more redundancies and a combinatorial explosion of the number of possible configurations. The development of control laws resulting from approaches traditionally designed for classical topologies, as for space vector modulation methods, becomes harder for new, much complex topologies. Moreover, the too many available switches bring strong control redundancies that are not necessarily exploited, at least arbitrarily. We propose a new control approach that is expected to be less dependent on the number of switches, and that does not suffer from limitations proper to geometrical modulation methods. Firstly, our approach consists in the algebraic formulation of control problems that are generally under-determined, highlighting the presence of redundancies and degrees of freedom, and constrained, because control limitations are taken into account. Interestingly, a connection can be highlighted to the so-called control allocation problem in flight control, robotics, or marine applications. Secondly, in order to compute a unique and optimized control solution at each switching period, we develop new control allocation methods for power converters based on on-line numerical optimization using linear programming techniques. Consequently, duty cycles are automatically optimized to satisfy voltage references while respecting saturations and exploiting available redundancies depending on the state of the converter. We highlight the properties naturally offered by our methods. In particular, all modulation solutions yield a maximized extension of the linearity range of the converter. We propose control allocation methods for the voltage or current control of many topologies: the four-leg two-level inverter, the multicellular flying capacitor inverter, the modular multilevel inverter

Resumo: Nesta tese é introduzida uma nova estratégia de controle que permite a síntese de indutâncias negativas para realização da compensação série de linhas de transmissão. O método, que é baseado na estratégia SDR (Síntese Direta de Reatâncias), opera com realimentação de estados e requer a medição de variáveis locais. Em relação aos métodos tradicionais, usando capacitores, a compensação através de indutância negativa pode ter desempenho superior, pois é possível conseguir sistemas mais estáveis, sem risco de ressonâncias, e com desempenho dinâmico superior, o que permite a realização de outras funções desejáveis, tais como o amortecimento de oscilações eletromecânicas e a compensação de cintilação luminosa. Dada a elevada potência requerida pela aplicação, sugere-se a utilização do Conversor Multinível em Cascata Assimétrico, que apresenta alto rendimento e é capaz de produzir uma tensão de saída de baixo conteúdo harmônico. Para este conversor, foi introduzida uma estratégia de controle que permite uma implementação sem que sejam necessárias fontes CC. Sugere-se também um procedimento para escolha do capacitor de filtragem que permite uma redução da corrente no conversor para uma dada condição de operação. São apresentados alguns estudos sobre a estabilidade da compensação série com indutância negativa. Para a técnica de controle proposta, são realizados estudos de autovalores, que permitem verificar a robustez com variação de parâmetros. Através de simulações, verificasse a estabilidade com a presença de elementos não modelados na planta, como capacitâncias parasitas. Também são apresentados estudos sobre a estabilidade para um modelo de simulação da ressonância subsíncrona, que considera o modelo do gerador e características mecânicas do eixo da turbina. Os resultados obtidos com estes estudos de estabilidade, bem com os resultados experimentais, indicam que a técnica proposta é viável para a aplicação
Abstract: This thesis introduces a new control strategy of realizing negative inductances with static converters for series compensation of transmission lines. The proposed method, which is basedon DRS (Direct Reactance Synthesis) technique, requires state feedback of variables that can be measured locally. The use of negative inductances instead of capacitors may yield performance improvement because there is no risk of resonance and it is possible to obtain higher stability margins and better dynamic performance. Consequently, it is possible to realize some useful functions that are not possible with conventional strategies, just as flicker ompensation and smoothing of electromechanical oscillations. Series compensation requires high power static converters and, due to this, the use of the Asymmetrical Cascaded Multilevel Converters (ACMC) is suggested. This high efficiency power converter is capable of producing a low THD output voltage using less power switches than other topologies. This thesis also introduces a DC control strategy for ACMC, which may allow negative inductance implementation with no DC sources. It is also suggested a design procedure for choosing the filter capacitance that reduces the required current capability of the power converter. Some studies regarding the stability of series compensation with negative inductances were carried on. For the new control strategy, it was possible to perform the eigenvalues analysis, that proved therobustness under some parameters variations. The stability considering elements that were not modeled, just as stray capacitances or generator and turbine shaft, were tested through simulations. The simulations and experimental results corroborate to prove that the control strategy is suitable for this application

Повний текст джерелаHoy en día, la construcción de maquinaria y plantas industriales exigen soluciones de accionamiento con un diseño flexible y escalable. En sectores industriales como la petroquímica, la minería, la generación de energía, etc., existe una demanda de soluciones con alta eficiencia, seguridad integrada y respaldo de las compañías proveedoras. En este contexto, el Convertidor Multinivel Modular (MMC) ha aparecido como una opción prometedora para accionamientos de media tensión de alta potencia debido a sus características, como modularidad total, flexibilidad de control, niveles de media tensión, calidad de potencia y posible operación sin transformador. Por lo tanto, esta tesis discute la aplicación del MMC para accionamientos de máquinas. El modelado del MMC y sus sistemas de control asociados para esta aplicación son analizados ampliamente en este documento. Específicamente, se ha propuesto un nuevo modelado basado en coordenadas dq y su sistema correspondiente sistema de control para regular el valor instantáneo de las tensiones de los condensadores del MMC. Además, se ha propuesto la integración de los sistemas de control de la máquina y del MMC para mejorar el rendimiento general del sistema. Por ejemplo, se demostró que las corrientes circulantes requeridas durante bajas frecuencias ac se reducen al considerar la interacción de ambos sistemas de control. La efectividad de las estrategias de control propuestas se validó a través de extensos resultados experimentales, que se han publicado en dos artículos (IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics) y seis artículos de conferencia (indexados en la base de datos Scopus), así como contribuciones importantes en otros proyectos relacionados con el control de convertidores multinivel modulares. El prototipo utilizado se compone de 18 celdas de potencia. El sistema se controla utilizando un procesador de señales digitales y dos FPGAs. Un segundo MMC con 12 celdas de potencia también se usó para algunas pruebas, conformando una unidad Back-to-Back MMC. Se probó el rendimiento dinámico y en estado estable de las metodologías de control propuestas, considerando el arranque del MMC, cambios escalón tanto en el par y las corrientes de magnetización, rampas de velocidad, pruebas de cruce por velocidad cero, operación de rotor bloqueado, operación con flujo debilitado, diferentes condiciones de carga, manipulación de la tensión dc del MMC, etc. En todos los casos, el rendimiento alcanzado es consistente con los resultados esperados. Nowadays, machinery and plant construction are demanding drive solutions with flexible and scalable design. In industrial sectors such as petrochemical, mining, power generation, etc., there is a demand for solutions with high efficiency, integrated safety and support from the supplier companies. In this context, the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) has appeared as a promising option for high-power medium-voltage drives due to their characteristics, such as full modularity, control flexibility, medium-voltage levels, power quality and possible transformer-less operation. Thereby, this thesis discusses the application of the MMC as a machine drive. The modelling and control systems required for this application are extensively analysed and discussed in this document. Specifically, a novel dq-based modelling of the MMC and its associated control system has been proposed to regulate the instantaneous value of the MMC capacitor voltages. Additionally, the integration of the machine and MMC control systems has been proposed to enhance the performance of the overall system. For example, it was demonstrated that the required circulating currents during low-ac frequencies are reduced by considering the interaction of both control systems. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategies is validated through extensive experimental results, which have been published in two journal papers (IEEE Transaction on Industrial Electronics) and six conference papers (indexed in the Scopus database), as well as important contributions in other projects related to the control of modular multilevel converters. The downscaled prototype utilised is composed of 18 power cells. The system is controlled using a Digital Signal Processor and two Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). A second MMC with 12 power cells was also used for some tests, conforming a Back-to-Back MMC-based drive. The dynamic and steady-state performance of the proposed control methodologies were tested, considering the MMC starting-up, step changes in both the torque and magnetising currents, speed-ramps, zero-speed crossing test, rotor-locked operation, flux-weakening operation, different loading conditions, manipulation of the input voltage of the MMC, etc. In all cases, the achieved performance is consistent with the expected results.

Повний текст джерелаMultilevel modular topology converts energy between two direct and alternative endings. This structure is constructed by the series connection of identical sub-modules, composed of a switching cell and a floating capacitor, and with arm inductors. Such a conversion system may reach a large number of levels increases the overall efficiency and quality of the output signals. In addition, it allows the use of low voltage components with better dynamics and cost effectiveness above the high voltage components. It also allows flexibility in the work of design and manufacture due to its modularity, while avoiding a bulky and expensive input transformer, regarding the conventional technology. Compared with other types of topologies, advantageous with a limited number of levels, the modular multilevel converter seems to be more suited for medium and high voltage applications, which are dependent on the association of power components. However, for variable speed drive application, a certain number of technological challenges have been highlighted, given the specific functional characteristics of the modular multilevel inverter and the constraints imposed by the very low frequency operation. On the one hand, for the normal operation of a multilevel modular converter, the waveform of the internal currents, in contrast to other types of topologies, is not symmetrical due to the distribution of the direct current in each phase leg. This may entail a significant disparity in terms of heat dissipation within the switching devices constituting a sub-module. Therefore, the problem of thermal management of active components is emphasized in the use of a modular multilevel converter. With the choice of a 3D packaging technology, interconnection by bumps, the ability to cool the semiconductor chips through the both sides of a module offers better cooling effects and a new perspective to design the power module for the studied structure. The concept of laying chips on both the two substrates of module without facing each other provides overall balanced dissipation in the space and permit to overcome the unbalanced heat distribution induced by bumps. Combined with the sharing of a switch by two chips in parallel, the proposal of the new architecture for 3D power module also aims to balance the double-sided cooling in the time range. Indeed, for the very low frequency operation, the switches operate in unsteady state where each switch has its own thermal behavior, it is no longer possible to compensate the thermo-mechanical constraints over each component with the help of the others, as in steady state and with a planar chips positioning scheme. On the other hand, from a systemic point of view, the control strategy and the dimensioning of floating capacitors of modular multilevel inverter are two interrelated aspects. Because the floating capacitors, having the role of energy sources, are loaded / unloaded through the modulation period, which causes very high voltage ripples across those capacitors with a very low frequency. This will destabilize the inverter and even provoke the destruction of components by approaching too high voltage levels. Thus, wisely designed controllers reduce unwanted ripples and, furthermore, allow embarking much smaller capacity in the system, as they are inversely proportional to the voltage ripple. In order to have a thorough understanding on the dynamics governing the modular multilevel converter, a comprehensive dynamic model based on state-space representation was established. Although this representation is limited to the second harmonic of characteristic variable, it allows a faithful interpretation of the conversion mechanism without using energy models, more complex to operate, and control laws can also be proposed and their effectiveness around the nominal frequency has been underlined. Concerning the very low frequency operations, another solution has been proposed and is ongoing patent pending

Повний текст джерелаThis research work deals with two topics conditioning the large scale development of wind turbines into electrical grids. The first is devoted to the development of new algorithms for the control of Doubly Fed Induction Machine (DFIM) based wind energy conversion systems. Two direct current control strategies have been proposed and are based on the hysteresis square areas (HZCA) and hysteresis circular areas (HZCI). Both strategies apply an appropriate voltage vector to control the active and reactive powers delivered to the grid, and also, to balance the voltages of the inner DC bus converter. Simulation and experimental results show that the HZCI strategy is better than HZCA in terms of output voltage waveforms and harmonic contain.The second topic is dedicated to the active and reactive powers supervision in a wind farm in order to supply prescribed power references from the grid operator. This supervision is ensured by a centralized algorithm that distributes power references between wind turbines in a proportional way. These references are calculated according to the maximum production capacity of wind turbines. An analysis of the power flow in the DFIM based wind energy system has been made to identify the (P, Q) characteristic and to calculate limits in terms of reactive power compensation. The local power management of each wind system has been developed allowing the powers distribution between the stator of the DFIM and the grid side converter by considering several operating modes of the wind generator

Повний текст джерелаEnergy systems based on fossil fuel have demonstrated their abilities to permit economic development. However, with the fast exhaustion of this energy source, the expansion of the world energy demand and concerns over global warming, new energy systems dependent on renewable and other sustainable energy are gaining more interests. It is a fact that future development in the energy sector is founded on the utilisation of renewable and sustainable energy sources. These energy sources can enable the world to meet the double targets of diminishing greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring reliable and cost-effective energy supply. Fuel cells are one of the advanced clean energy technologies to substitute power generation systems based on fossil fuel. They are viewed as reliable and efficient technologies to operate either tied or non-tied to the grid to power applications ranging from domestic, commercial to industrial. Multiple fuel cell stacks can be associated in series and parallel to obtain a fuel cell system with high power up to megawatts. The connection of megawatts fuel cell systems to a utility grid requires that the power condition unit serving as the interface between the fuel cell plant and the grid operates accordingly. Different power conditioning unit topologies can be adopted, this study considers a multilevel inverter. Multilevel inverters are getting more popularity and attractiveness as compared to conventional inverters in high voltage and high-power applications. These inverters are suitable for harmonic mitigation in high-power applications whereby switching devices are unable to function at high switching frequencies. For a given application, the choice of appropriate multilevel topology and its control scheme are not defined and depend on various engineering compromises, however, the most developed multilevel inverter topologies include the Diode Clamped, the Flying Capacitor and the Cascade Full Bridge inverters. On the other hand, a multilevel inverter can be either a three or a five, or a nine level, however, this research focuses on the three-level diode clamped inverters. The aim of this thesis is to model and control a three-level diode clamped inverter for the grid connection of a megawatt fuel cell stack. Besides the grid, the system consists of a 1.54 MW operating at 1400 V DC proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack, a 1.26 MW three-level diode clamped inverter with a nominal voltage of 600 V and an LCL filter which is designed to reduce harmonics and meet the standards such as IEEE 519 and IEC 61000-3-6. The inverter control scheme comprises voltage and current regulators to provide a good power factor and satisfy synchronisation requirements with the grid. The frequency and phase are synchronised with those of the grid through a phase locked loop. The modelling and simulation are performed using Matlab/Simulink. The results show good performance of the developed system with a low total harmonic distortion of about 0.35% for the voltage and 0.19% for the current.

Повний текст джерелаThis PhD Thesis deals with the study of new multilevel structures. At the beginning of this work, a new methodology to create new multilevel structures has been conceived. To evaluate the performances of these structures, there are many possibilities: number of output voltage levels, number of components, and the quality of the converters’ output waveforms. The list of criteria is not exhaustive. One technique to obtain an output multilevel waveform is to split the DC link in several capacitors. There is a limitation since putting more than two capacitors in serial connection leads to an unbalancing of these voltage capacitors. Several solutions are possible to balance these voltages. The first one uses the control of the structure in a three phase application, using a space vector modulation and minimizing the energy stored in the DC link. The second solution consists in using auxiliary circuits, which realize an energy transfer between one capacitor to another through an inductor. The drawback of this method is the high number of components. This problem can be reduced sharing some components between the three phases of the converter. The third part of this study is related to multicell converters, structures with very interesting good properties. New converter structures mix serial and parallel multicell converters, to obtain a hybrid converter with similar performances to the two basic converters. An experimental prototype was built to validate the results of the PhD. The digital control of this hybrid structure was made with a FPGA where two DSP processors were implemented

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis investigates the viability of constructing a solid-state transformer (SST) with a series-input, parallel-output connection of full-bridge, three-level ying-capacitor converters. It focusses on the active recti er front-end of the SST which is used to control the input current to be sinusoidal and in-phase with the sinusoidal input voltage. A stack of two converters are built and tested. The input current, as well as the ying capacitor voltages of the two active recti ers in the stack, are actively controlled by a nite-state model-based predictive (FS-MPC) controller. The use of multiple ying-capacitor converters poses a problem when using FS-MPC because of the large number of possible switching states to include in the prediction equations. Three FS-MPC control algorithms are proposed to attempt to overcome the problem associated with the large number of switching states. They are implemented on an FPGA digital controller. The algorithms are compared on the bases of voltage and current errors, as well as their responses to disturbances that are introduced into the system. The simulation and experimental results that are presented shows that by interleaving the control actions for the two converters, one can obtain fast and robust responses of the controlled variables. The viability of extending the interleaving control algorithm beyond two converters is also motivated.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis ondersoek die moontlikheid van volbrug, drievlak vlieënde-kapasitoromsetters wat gebruik word om 'n serie-intree, parallel-uittree drywingselektroniese transformator (DET) te bou. Dit fokus op die aktiewe gelykrigter van die DET wat gebruik word om die intreestroom te beheer om sinusvormig en in fase met die sinusvormige intreespanning te wees. 'n Stapel van twee omsetters word gebou en getoets. Die intreestroom, sowel as die vlieënde kapasitorspannings van die twee aktiewe gelykrigters in die stapel, word aktief beheer met behulp van 'n eindige-toestand, model-gebaseerde voorspellende beheerder (ET-MVB). Die gebruik van veelvuldige vlieënde-kapasitoromsetters bemoeilik die implementering van 'n ET-MVB-beheerder as gevolg van die groot aantal skakeltoestande wat in die voorspellende vergelykings in ag geneem moet word. Drie ET-MVB-algoritmes word voorgestel om te poog om die probleme, wat met die groot aantal skakeltoestande geassosieer word, te oorkom. Die algoritmes word in 'n FPGA digitale verwerker geïmplementeer. Die algoritmes word vergelyk op grond van hul stroom- en spanningsfoute, asook hul reaksie op steurings wat op die stelsel ingevoer word. Die simulasie en praktiese resultate toon dat, deur die beheeraksies vir die twee omsetters te laat oorvleuel, die gedrag van die beheerde veranderlikes vinniger en meer robuust is. Die moontlikheid om die oorvleuelende beheeraksies uit te brei tot meer as twee omsetters word ook gemotiveer.

Esta oscilación, a su vez, supone un incremento del estrés de tensión de los dispositivos y provoca la aparición de armónicos de baja frecuencia en la tensión de salida.

Esta nueva técnica de modulación, basada en la definición de unos vectores espaciales virtuales, garantiza el equilibrado de la tensión del punto neutro con cualquier carga (lineal o no, cualquier factor de potencia) y para todo el rango de tensión de salida, con el único requisito de que la suma de corrientes de fase sea nula.
Las características de la técnica de modulación propuesta y sus beneficios con respecto a otras modulaciones se han verificado a través de simulaciones y experimentos tanto en lazo abierto como en lazo cerrado.
Multilevel converter topologies have received special attention during the last two decades due to their significant advantages in high-power medium- and high-voltage applications. In these topologies, and compared to the previous two-level case, the voltage across each semiconductor is reduced, avoiding the problems of the series interconnection of devices. The harmonic distortion of the output voltage is also diminished and the converter efficiency increases. But a larger number of semiconductors is needed and the modulation strategy to control them becomes more complex.
Among these topologies, the three-level three-phase neutral-point-clamped voltage source inverter is probably the most popular. The application of traditional modulation techniques to this converter causes a low frequency (three times the fundamental frequency of the output voltage) oscillation of the neutral-point voltage. This, in turn, increases the voltage stress on the devices and generates low-order harmonics in the output voltage.
This thesis presents a novel pulsewidth modulation for the three-level three-phase neutral-point-clamped converter, able to achieve a complete control of the neutral-point voltage while also having a low output voltage distortion at around the switching frequency. The new modulation, based on a virtual space vector concept, guarantees the balancing of the neutral-point voltage for any load (linear or nonlinear, any load power factor) over the full range of converter output voltage, the only requirement being that the addition of the output three-phase currents equals zero.
The performance of this modulation approach and its benefits over other previously proposed solutions are verified through simulation and experiments in both open- and closed-loop converter configurations.
