Particularly, electric-electric hybrid powertrain system consisting of supercapacitor modules and lithium-ion batteries has been widely applied because of the high power density of supercapacitors. In this study, we design a hybrid powertrain system containing two porous carbon electrode-based supercapacitor modules in parallel and one lithium ion battery pack. With the construction of the testing station, the performance and stability of the used supercapacitor modules are investigated in correlation with the structure of the supercapacitor and the nature of the electrode materials applied. It has been shown that the responding time for voltage vibration from 20 V to 48.5 V during charging or discharging process decreases from about 490 s to 94 s with the increase in applied current from 20 A to 100 A. The capacitance of the capacitor modules is nearly independent on the applied current. With the designed setup, the energy efficiency can reach as high as 0.99. The results described here provide a guidance for material selection of supercapacitors and optimized controlling strategy for hybrid power system applied in electric vehicles.展开更多

In this paper, a new topology suitable for AC/DC hybrid distribution network is put forward according to the demands of power grid, with advantages of accepting DG and DC loads, while clearing DC fault by blocking the clamping double sub-module(CDSM) of input stage. Then, this paper shows the typical structure of AC/DC distribution network that is hand in hand. Based on the new topology, this paper designs the control and modulation strategies of each stage, where the outer loop controller of input stage is emphasized for its twocontrol mode. At last, the rationality of new topology and the validity of control strategies are verified by the steady and dynamic state simulation. At the same time, the simulation results highlight the role of PET in energy regulation.展开更多

文摘混合频率载波调制法可以解决混合级联7电平逆变器的功率环流问题,但其输出电压的谐波特性较差。为此,提出了一种改进的混合频率载波调制策略,该策略使得高压单元运行在单极倍频正弦脉宽调制(sinusoidal pulse width modulation,SPWM)下,从而提高了高压单元的等效开关频率。此外,对高、低压单元的开关策略进行了优化改进,减少了开关次数。相比于改进前的方法,在高压单元开关频率相同时,其等效开关频率可提高1倍,逆变器输出电压的谐波将分布在更高的频段,从而改善了逆变器输出的电能质量,同时消除了功率环流。由仿真结果可知,在相同开关频率下,改进后的方法使得输出电压的较低次谐波由约1 k Hz提高到了约2 k Hz,并且不会出现功率环流现象。研究结果对所提出的改进的混合频率或波调制策略的实用化有一定意义。
