Comparative study of aircraft three-phase power factor corrections

This paper summarizes the requirements of standards for aircraft power supply firstly,and then points out that the input current harmonic and output DC voltage ripple should be considered seriously when designing three-phase power factor correction (PFC)for aircraft under variable line frequency and unbalanced line supply. Based on reviewing the topologies for aircraft three-phase PFC,three typical topologies,i.e. three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM)rectifier,traditional shunt active power filter (APF)and generalized APF,are picked up. A unified single-phase equivalent model is developed for comparing the harmonic suppression performance of the three active PFC schemes. And the switching stress is also calculated for evaluating their efficiency and power density. Three 5 kW PFC are designed by employing each of the three selected schemes. Simulation is carried out to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis. The theory and simulation results indicate that the generalized APF topology shows the most technical merit for aircraft three-phase PFC. Future research works on generalized APF are also pointed out,which are solving the uncontrollability of its DC output voltage and optimal designing the filter inductors.     

Parameter design and simulation for animproved direct current side active power filter

Considering the characteristics of the dc side series active power filter (APF) that the output voltage cannot be adjusted and the control circuit is complex , an improved single phase dc series APF topology is proposed. The improvement of the new circuit topology and fundamental working principle are analyzed. Following the circuit power factor pre regulator principle, the designing method for the main circuit parameters is given. The voltage ring and the current ring are designed by using the zero pole method. The main circuit power switch is controlled with the same frequencies, while the control circuit was simplified further.

An asymmetric fault ride-through control method forPMSG wind turbine based onsuper-capacitors

With the rapid increasing interaction between wind turbines and power systems, wind turbines have to have the fault ride-through (FRT) capability to ensure the safe operation of power grid. In order to improve the asymmetric FRT capability of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbine, a novel control FRT method based on super-capacitors is proposed. In this method, super-capacitors are connected to the DC bus of AC-DC-AC converter via a bi-directional DC-DC converter, and the power processed by the super-capacitors is controlled to limit the increasing of the DC bus voltage of the AC-DC-AC converter in grid failure condition, and to reduce the 2nd order voltage ripple in the DC bus. Meanwhile, the proposed control method employs the grid voltage feed-forward approach to reduce the negative sequence current component in the grid side converter. According to the low voltage ride through (LVRT) standard, the selection of the super-capacitor capacity is also discussed, and then a mathematical model of the super-capacitor with the bi-directional DC-DC converter is established for designing the controller. Simulation results for a 1MW PMSG wind turbine by MATLAB show that the proposed control method reduces both the negative sequence current component in grid side converter and the 2nd order voltage ripple in DC link at the same time. The results also demonstrate that the asymmetric FRT capability of PMSG wind turbine is improved, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed control method in this paper.

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.
