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.

Plastic strain was determined at multiple time increments.The strain was caused by stress and temperature.The yield function in high-temperature states is the function of temperature and plastic strain.The calculation efficiency would be decreased and much more calculation would be needed if a conventional method,such as the radial return method,was used.In the case of axial stress states,the temperature path was difficult to determine at various time intervals.Initial value equations were obtained with the Drucker-Prager function of plane stress concrete.This method can solve the previously mentioned problems efficiently when used with the Runge-Kutta integration strategy.A program was developed with an updated co-varying coordinate finite element method based on the S-R decomposition theorem.Computational results show that the integration strategy is highly accurate and efficient.     

A coordinated state transition control strategy for microgrid with multi-energy generation systems

A coordinated control strategy is proposed based on state transition for a microgrid containing continuous or intermittent DG, energy storage device and sensitive loads. According to the available operation states, a scheme of operation state transition is established through setting the current operation state and trigger event as inputs of MGCC and regarding the control modes of components as outputs. By considering the no deviation control for frequency and the capacity limitation of energy storage device under all operation states, control modes of components and trigger events of state transition under all defined states are designed respectively for a reliable power supply of sensitive load. The PSCAD/EMTDC simulation software is used for analysis of the three typical transition processes of operation states. The results show that the proposed coordinated control strategy is effective for a safe and reliable power supply to the sensitive loads and ensures a smoothing transition between operation states of microgrid as well as the no deviation control of system frequency.

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.

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 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.     

Model predictive control strategy of a medium hybrid electric vehicle

The intense coupled and nonlinear behaviors were observed on the tall long span tower line systems which were under the icing and wind loads in heavy icing areas. A set of stiffness equations of insulator, conductor and boundary conditions was deduced. Taking the ±800 kV UHV DC transmission line from Xiangjiaba to Shanghai as an example, the simplified numerical model of transmission tower, conductor, insulator and constraint was developed. The long span transmission tower line system models under seven loads conditions were analyzed by static nonlinear methods. It was found that the P Δ effect of tower components was small when the covered ice was uniformly distributed. The unbalanced wire loads on the tower would lead to twist effect when the covered ice was uneven distributed. The axial forces, moments at restraint nodes and the longest cantilever member were greatly affected by the P Δ effect, under which the unfavorable effect on the structure should be considered.
