The topology and operation principle of the proposed converter have been analyzed. The corresponding control strategy has been presented and verified by simulation results.     

Research on a Novel Inverter of VSC

In order to improve waveform performance of light HVDC system, a lot of switches which operate in high frequency are used, which causes large switching losses and results high cost. A new Buck type voltage source converter(BVSC) is proposed. The new BVSC comprises a dual-buck converter and a three-phase inverter operating in grid frequency. Only two high frequency switches are used, which results good output waveform performance. In order to reduce the high frequency switching losses, a novel improved double-frequency Buck type voltage source converter(DBVSC) is also proposed. An additional dual-Buck converter is added to the BVSC, the added dual-Buck converter deals with the fundamental power that operates in low frequency, and BVSC only deals with harmonic power that operates in high frequency. The output waveform is enhanced and the switching losses are reduced in DBVSC, and the power rating is also increased. The DBVSC is very suitable for large power rating application. The one cycle control theory is adopted to control the proposed DBVSC with analog circuit, which is very simple. The proposed DBVSC and control method are verified by simulation.

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.     

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.

Modeling and control of An LCL bi-directional inductive power transfer system

Since there exist high-frequency switching networks and complicated operating modes in bi-directional inductive power transfer (IPT) system, it is easy to result in high harmonics and EMI interference. An LCL filter network is introduced to effectively filter out the unwanted harmonics in track current and reduce EMI interference. Based on a mathematical model of the power transmission established by complex analysis of the AC variables, under the condition of maximum transmission efficiency, the phase angle differences between the primary input voltage and secondary output voltage U·so are ±90° and the energy is respectively transferred in forward or backward direction. Moreover, the power magnitude can be controlled by adjusting the modulus of U·pi and U·so. In addition, to keep the track current constant, different phase-shifting control strategies are designed in the primary and secondary parts. Simulation and experimental results show that these strategies can not only adjust track current to keep constant but also dynamically change the direction and magnitude of power transmission according to the working conditions and actual needs of the system load to improve the system operating efficiency.
