Dual mode AC DC AC converter for contactless power transfer system

A new type AC DC AC converter which can work in Buck or Boost mode is proposed in order to overcome the deficiencies of the primary circuit of the traditional contactless power transfer system. Through switching this two modes and turning the duty cycles of the switches, not only the resonant current amplitude of the primary resonant current can be controlled to be constant against a wide range variation of input voltage, but also the problems, such as surge current, high cost, complex control etc., caused by the DC filter and DC/DC converter in a traditional CPT system are effectively eliminated. The topology and operation principle of the proposed converter have been analyzed. The corresponding control strategy has been presented and verified by simulation results.     

OPTIMAL ACTIVE POWER ADJUSTMEMT OF LARGE HYBRID AC/DC SYSTEMS AFTER OUTAGE CONTINGENCIES WITH THE APPLICATION IN RELIABILITY EVALUATION

An optimal active power adjustment model is deve in this paper for hybrid AC/DC systems after outage contingencies. The objective of the model is to minimize the rejection of load when some elements are out of service, with adjustment strategy approaching practical system operation. A large number of outage contingencies are simulated when the Monte-Carlo Method is emyloyed to evaluate the system reliability, requiring fast calculation of each simulation. The model and computer method proposed in this paper satisfy such a requirment because of the application of concentric relaxation, recursive branch constraint treatment in linear programming and a direct method for B-1 matrix modification. This paper is concerned with the simplified steady state conditions of the system based on DC load-flow, which implies the reliability indices calculated are the measures about static loss of load. The results for a 14-bus hybrid AC/DC system are given.

A new control design for grid integration ofDFIG wind farm with VSC-HVDC

This paper proposes a control scheme for a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind farm with VSC-HVDC grid integration to ensure secure and reliable operation of power system with fluctuated wind power penetration. The whole system dynamic models are respectively described. Based on vector control system with a virtual voltage orientation, a steady-state voltage control block and a dynamic voltage control block with a cross-product term of d-q currents are separately designed for WFVSC to control the corresponding parts of the wind farm voltage. Meanwhile, with the consideration of AC and DC side parameter variation and external disturbance, an improved backstepping control scheme with Lyapunov stability provement is also proposed for the GSVSC. The combination of the two schemes makes up the new control design of this study. Besides, to verify the performance of the proposed new control design, three different cases are suggested which contain the AC and DC side parameter variation and external disturbance such as local load cut off-in, grid voltage harmonics. Finally, numerical simulations using MATLAB/Simulink are presented for a 200MW DFIG wind farm with VSC-HVDC grid integration to validate the proposed control scheme and demonstrate the improved system operation performance. Moreover, the corresponding discussions are also presented for further illustrations.     

Vector control of permanent magnet synchronous motor with variable DC-link voltage

As for the drive of control system in electric vehicles, if the inverter power is supplied by a constant DC-link voltage, there are some disadvantages in the system, such as small utilization of the voltage, big current harmonic distortion of the motor windings. A new strategy for vector control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with variable DC-link voltage is proposed, which is suitable for electric vehicles. According to the reference voltage amplitude of the inverter, the new system uses bidirectional DC/DC converter to adjust the DC-link voltage to improve the performance of the vector control system. At last, the whole system is simulated with MATLAB software. The simulation results show that the new strategy for vector control can increase voltage utilization, decrease torque ripple, improve current waveform effectively and decrease the total harmonic distortion of motor current. The results also verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the new strategy.

Theoretical analysis on the protection properties against electric shock of low voltage DC distribution system with different grounding types

The low voltage direct current(LVDC)distribution system has great potential and advantage to be applied to conventional areas, such as residential house, due to its characteristics of energy conservation and being eco-friendly, but there is no existing standard specifications to guide its application in practice to ensure the electrical safety of this system. The protection against electric shock is a key indicator of electric safety, but the effect of electric shocks on AC and DC are different. Refer to the international standard IEC60479-1 and analytical method in AC system, the protection against electric shock between DC 750, 400, 300, 220 V and AC 220 V systems are compared and analyzed based on ideal DC source model. It demonstrates that the negative grounded TT & TN DC distribution system has significant advantages over the traditional AC system, and the safety voltages are given, which could be a reference to develop the normative guidance for the application of LVDC in practical application.

Fast modeling of the motor broadband equivalent circuit model

This paper proposes a modeling method of the motor broadband equivalent circuit model. The impedance amplitude-frequency characteristics of the motor terminal through measuring are obtained. The impedance amplitude-frequency characteristics are devided into several regions based on its first resonant point information,and the motor broadband circuit topology is developed with each region equaling a resonance unit. The RLC parameters of resonance unit are extracted through frequency and corresponding impedance of the any non-resonant and resonant point in each unit. This proposed method is used to build DC and AC motor broadband equivalent circuit model. Their impedance amplitude-frequency characteristics are simulated by the Saber software. The measurement results and the simulation result of references are compared. The DC motor simulation results coincide with the measurement results in 0.1~50 MHz,and the AC motor is in 0.1~40 MHz. The results show that the motor broadband circuit model is reliable and feasible.     

A preventive control model for static voltage stability considering the power constraints of weak branches

The voltage instability of power system often occurs when the active power on one or more weak branches exceeds its transfer capability. A preventive control model for static voltage stability is proposed using the active power transfer capability of weak branches as static voltage stability constraints. A local line based voltage stability index is used to determine the critical contingencies, weak branches and transfer capability of each weak branch. A static security analysis method, which is based on DC power flow equations, is used to establish the non linear active power flow expressions on weak branches following each critical contingency. The active power constraints on weak branches can be obtained from the active power flow expressions and transfer capabilities of weak branches. A quadratic optimal model for preventive control including the proposed active power constraints on weak branches is presented. The simulation results for IEEEE14 bus system and IEEE118 bus system demonstrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed preventive control model.     

A dual-boost three-phase DC link active power filter based on coupled impedance

A three-phase DC link active power filter (APF)based on coupled impedance and its control strategy are proposed in order to eliminate the input current harmonics of the three-phase diode rectifier. The presented APF is composed of impedance network and two asymmetric dual Boost converters. Average current control is adopted to control the DC link APF. The switch signals of the two asymmetric Boost converters are obtained respectively by leading and trailing edge modulation methods. Compared with the normal DC link active power filter,this topology reduces an active switch and a capacitance. So it can reduce costs,and there is no voltage imbalance in the DC link. Simulation results verify the correctness of the proposed topology and the corresponding control method.
