Design and analysis of dual-mode structure repetitive control based hybrid current regulation scheme for active power filters

An all-digital hybrid current regulation scheme for the single-phase shunt active power filter （APF） is presented. The proposed hybrid current control scheme integrates the deadbeat control and the dual-mode structure repetitive control （DMRC） so that it can offer superior steady-state performance and good transient features. Unlike the conventional schemes, the proposed scheme-based APF can compensate both the odd and the even order harmonics in grid. The detailed design criteria and the stability analysis of the proposed hybrid current controller are presented. Moreover, an improved structure which incorporates the proposed hybrid controller and the resonant controller for tracking specific order harmonics is given. The relationships between the resonant controller and different repetitive control schemes are discussed. Experimental results verify the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed hybrid control scheme.

Adaptive rotor current control for wind-turbine driven DFIG using resonant controllers in a rotor rotating reference frame

This paper proposes an adaptive rotor current controller for doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), which consists of a proportional (P) controller and two harmonic resonant (R) controllers implemented in the rotor rotating reference frame. The two resonant controllers are tuned at slip frequencies ωslip+ and ωslip-, respectively. As a result, the positive- and negative-sequence components of the rotor current are fully regulated by the PR controller without involving the positive- and negative-sequence decomposition, which in effect improves the fault ride-through (FRT) capability of the DFIG-based wind power generation system during the period of large transient grid voltage unbalance. Correctness of the theoretical analysis and feasibility of the proposed unbalanced control scheme are validated by simulation on a 1.5-MW DFIG wind power generation system.

A Novel Resonant Frequency Tracking Control for Linear Compressor Based on MRAS Method

To optimize the efficiency of the linear compressor,its operating frequency must be controlled equal to the system resonant frequency.The traditional resonant frequency tracking control algorithm relies on the steady state characteristics of the system,which suffers from slow convergence speed,low accuracy and slow system response.In order to solve these problems,a novel resonant frequency tracking control for linear compressor based on model reference adaptive system(MRAS)is proposed in this paper,and the parameter adaptive rate is derived by the Popov's hyperstability theory,so that the system resonant frequency can be directly calculated through the parameter adaptive rate.Furthermore,the traditional algorithm needs to calculate the piston stroke signal by integrating the back-EMF,which has the problem of integral drift.The algorithm proposed in this paper only needs the velocity signal,and the accuracy of the velocity calculation can be ensured by utilizing the self-adaptive band-pass filter(SABPF),thereby greatly improving the accuracy of the resonance frequency calculation.Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

A novel current vector decomposition controller design for six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor

The vector control algorithm based on vector space decomposition （VSD） transformation method has a more flexible control freedom, which can control the fundamental and harmonic subspace separately. To this end, a current vector decoupling control algorithm for six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor （PMSM） is designed. Using the proposed synchronous rotating coordinate transformation matrix, the fundamental and harmonic components in d-q subspace are changed into direct current （DC） component, only using the traditional proportional integral （PI） controller can meet the non-static difference adjustment, and the controller parameter design method is given by employing intemal model principle. In addition, in order to remove the 5th and 7th harmonic components of stator current, the current PI controller parallel with resonant controller is employed in x-y subspace to realize the specific harmonic component compensation. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of current decoupling vector controller.

High-bandwidth nanopositioning via active control of system resonance

Typically,the achievable positioning bandwidth for piezo-actuated nanopositioners is severely limited by the first,lightly-damped resonance.To overcome this issue,a variety of open-and closed-loop control techniques that commonly combine damping and tracking actions,have been reported in literature.However,in almost all these cases,the achievable closed-loop bandwidth is still limited by the original open-loop resonant frequency of the respective positioning axis.Shifting this resonance to a higher frequency would undoubtedly result in a wider bandwidth.However,such a shift typically entails a major mechanical redesign of the nanopositioner.The integral resonant control(IRC)has been reported earlier to demonstrate the significant performance enhancement,robustness to parameter uncertainty,gua-ranteed stability and design flexibility it affords.To further exploit the IRC scheme’s capabilities,this paper presents a method of actively shifting the resonant frequency of a nanopositioner’s axis,thereby delivering a wider closed-loop positioning bandwidth when controlled with the IRC scheme.The IRC damping control is augmented with a standard integral tracking controller to improve positioning accuracy.And both damping and tracking control parameters are analytically optimized to result in a Butterworth Filter mimicking pole-placement—maximally flat passband response.Experiments are conducted on a nanopositioner’s axis with an open-loop resonance at 508 Hz.It is shown that by employing the active resonance shifting,the closed-loop positioning bandwidth is increased from 73 to 576 Hz.Consequently,the root-mean-square tracking errors for a 100 Hz triangular trajectory are reduced by 93%.

Improved direct power control of a grid-connected voltage source converter during network unbalance

This paper deals with an improved direct power control(DPC) strategy for the pulse width modulation(PWM) voltage source converter(VSC) under unbalanced grid voltage conditions.In order to provide enhanced control performance for the VSC,the resonant controllers tuned at the double grid frequency are applied in the DPC design to eliminate the power pulsations and dc link voltage ripples produced by the transient unbalanced grid faults.In this way,the output power and dc link voltage of the VSC can be directly regulated without positive and negative sequential decomposition.As a result,and as has been verified by experiment,the proposed method can provide fast dynamic response with easy implementation.

Improved voltage tracking of autonomous microgrid technology using a combined resonant controller with lead-lag compensator adopting negative imaginary theorem

Growing application of distributed generation units at remote places has led to the evolution of microgrid(MG)technology.When an MG system functions independently,i.e.,in autonomous mode,unpredictable loads and uncertainties emerge throughout the system.To obtain stable and flexible operation of an autonomous MG,a rigid control mechanism is needed.In this paper,a robust high-performance controller is introduced to improve the performance of voltage tracking of an MG system and to eliminate stability problems.A combination of a resonant controller and a lead-lag compensator in a positive position feedback path is designed,one which obeys the negative imaginary(NI)theorem,for both single-phase and three-phase autonomous MG systems.The controller has excellent tracking performance.This is investigated through considering various uncertainties with different load dynamics.The feasibility and effectiveness of the controller are also determined with a comparative analysis with some well-known controllers,such as linear quadratic regulator,model predictive and NI approached resonant controllers.This confirms the superi-ority of the designed controller.

Analysis and control optimization of positive pressure fluctuation in electromechanical oxygen regulator

The Electromechanical Oxygen Regulator(EMOR)is a new type of aviator oxygen equipment.Positive pressure refers to the pressure difference between the breath pressure and the ambient pressure during pressurized oxygen supply.The phenomenon of positive pressure fluctuation was believed to reduce the system performance.The current open-loop control method cannot solve this problem.In this paper,the mathematical model was established and main factors were analyzed.By combining experimental research and simulation calculation,it was determined that pressure fluctuation was caused by inlet pressure and diaphragm deformation together.With the increase of pulmonary ventilation volume,the influence of inlet pressure on fluctuation decreases gradually,while the proportion of diaphragm deformation increases rapidly.A closed-loop control strategy of Proportional Resonant with Feedforward Compensation(PRFC)was proposed to solve the problem and control parameters were obtained through co-simulation.The effectiveness of the control strategy was verified by experiments.The results show that the control strategy can enhance the anti-disturbance ability of the system and significantly reduce the pressure fluctuation range,which is beneficial to improving the overall system performance.

Active and Reactive Power Decoupling Control of Grid-Connected Inverters in Stationary Reference Frame

Proportion resonant(PR)controllers are able to achieve zero steady-state error for AC input signals and are widely used for simplifying control systems in the stationary reference frame.However,power decoupling in the stationary reference frame with a PR controller has not been investigated thoroughly.Based on the complex vector model of a grid-connected inverter(GCI),this paper deduces theoretically the power coupling relationship of GCI with the traditional PR current controller.A modified PR controller is provided for achieving the power decoupling,and the design method of the controller is presented.Simulation and experimental results verify that there is coupling between active and reactive power using the traditional PR controller and the proposed method can realize the power decoupling.

Soliton formation with controllable frequency line spacing using dual pumps in a microresonator

Temporal cavity solitons（CSs） have excellent properties that can sustain their shape in a temporal profile and with a broadband, smooth-frequency spectrum. We propose a method for controllable frequency line spacing soliton formation in a microresonator using two continuous-wave（CW） pumps with multi-free-spectral-range（FSR） spacing. The method we propose has better control over the amount and location of the solitons traveling in the cavity compared to the tuning pump method. We also find that by introducing a second pump with frequency N FSR from the first pump, solitons with N FSR comb spacing can be generated.
