A Novel Polymorphic Topology with Hybrid Control Strategy Based LLC Resonant Converter for Ultra-Wide Input Voltage Range Applications

To realize effective utilization of renewable energy sources,a novel polymorphic topology with hybrid control strategy based LLC resonant converter was analyzed and designed in this paper.By combining the merits of a full bridge LLC resonant converter,three-level half bridge LLC resonant converter,and variable frequency control mode,the converter realizes an intelligent estimation of input voltage by automatically changing its internal cir-cuit topology.Under this control strategy,different input voltages determine different operation modes.This is achieved in full bridge LLC mode when the input voltage is low.If the input voltage rises to a certain level,it operates in three-level half bridge LLC mode.These switches are digital and entirely carried out by the DSP(Digi-tal Signal Processor),which means that an auxiliary circuit is unnecessary,where a simple strategy of software modification can be utilized.Experimental results of a 500W prototype with 100V~600V input voltage and full load efficiency of up to 92%are developed to verify feasibility and practicability.This type of converter is suitable for applications with an ultra-wide input voltage range,such as wind turbines,photovoltaic generators,bioenergy,and other renewable energy sources.

Hybrid Control Strategy for Matrix Converter Fed Wind Energy Conversion System

In this paper, a hybrid control strategy for a matrix converter fed wind energy conversion system is presented. Since the wind speed may vary, output parameters like power, frequency and voltage may fluctuate. Hence it is necessary to design a system that regulates output parameters, such as voltage and frequency, and thereby provides a constant voltage and frequency output from the wind energy conversion system. Matrix converter is used in the proposed solution as the main power conditioner as a more efficient alternative when compared to traditional back-back converter structure. To control the output voltage, a vector modulation based refined control structure is used. A power tracker is included to maximize the mechanical output power of the turbine. Over current protection and clamp circuit input protection have been introduced to protect the system from over current. It reduces the spikes generated at the output of the converter. The designed system is capable of supplying an output voltage of constant frequency and amplitude within the expected ranges of input during the operation. The matrix converter control using direct modulation method, modified Venturini modulation method and vector modulation method was simulated, the results were compared and it was inferred that vector modulation method was superior to the other two methods. With the proposed technique, voltage transfer ratio and harmonic profile have been improved compared to the other two modulation techniques. The behaviour of the system is corroborated by MATLAB Simulink, and hardware is realized using an FPGA controller. Experimental results are found to be matching with the simulation results.

Estimation-Correction Modeling and Chaos Control of Fractional- Order Memristor Load Buck-Boost Converter

A fractional-order memristor load Buck-Boost converter causes periodic system oscillation,electromagnetic noise,and other phenomena due to the frequent switching of the switch in actual operation,which is detrimental to the stable operation of the power electronic converter.It is of great significance to the study of the modeling method and chaos control strategy to suppress the nonlinear behavior of the Buck-Boost converter and expand the safe and stable operation range of the power system.An estimation-correction modeling method based on a fractional active voltage-controlled memristor load peak current Buck-Boost converter is proposed.The discrete numerical solution of the state variables in the continuous mode of the inductor current is derived.The bursting oscillation phenomenon when the system introduces external excitation is analyzed.Using bifurcation,Lyapunov exponent,and phase diagrams,a large number of numerical simulations are performed.The results show that the Buck-Boost converter is chaotic for certain selected parameters,which is the prerequisite for the introduction of the controller.Based on the idea of parameter perturbation and state association,a three-dimensional hybrid control strategy for a fractional memristor Buck-Boost converter is designed.The effectiveness of the control strategy is verified by simulations,and it is confirmed that the system is controlled in a stable periodic state when the external tunable parameter s,which represents the coupling strength between the state variables in the system,gradually decreases in[-0.4,0].Compared with integer-order controlled systems,the stable operating range of fractional-order controlled systems is much larger.

A hybrid brain-computer interface control strategy in a virtual environment

This paper presents a hybrid brain-computer interface (BCI) control strategy,the goal of which is to expand control functions of a conventional motor imagery or a P300 potential based BCI in a virtual environment.The hybrid control strategy utilizes P300 potential to control virtual devices and motor imagery related sensorimotor rhythms to navigate in the virtual world.The two electroencephalography (EEG) patterns serve as source signals for different control functions in their corresponding system states,and state switch is achieved in a sequential manner.In the current system,imagination of left/right hand movement was translated into turning left/right in the virtual apartment continuously,while P300 potentials were mapped to discrete virtual device control commands using a five-oddball paradigm.The combination of motor imagery and P300 patterns in one BCI system for virtual environment control was tested and the results were compared with those of a single motor imagery or P300-based BCI.Subjects obtained similar performances in the hybrid and single control tasks,which indicates the hybrid control strategy works well in the virtual environment.

Three-dimensional nonlinear coupling guidance for hypersonic vehicle in dive phase

Three-dimensional(3D)nonlinear diving guidance strategy considering the coupling between longitudinal and lateral motions for hypersonic vehicle is investigated in this paper.It constructs the complete nonlinear coupling motion equation without any approximations based on diving relative motion relationship directly,and converts it into linear state space equation with the same relative degree by feedback linearization.With the linear equation,slide mode control with strong robustness is employed to design the guidance law,and 3D diving guidance law which can satisfy terminal impact point and falling angle constraints with high precision is obtained by substituting the previous control law into the origin nonlinear guidance system.Besides,regarding lateral overload as the standard,hybrid control strategy which can take full advantage of the excellent characters of both bank-to-turn(BTT)and skid-to-turn(STT)controls is designed to improve the guidance accuracy further.Finally,the results of CAV-H vehicle guidance test show that the algorithm can realize high accuracy guidance even if serious motion coupling exists,and has strong robustness to the path disturbances and navigation errors as well.
