OPTIMAL DESIGN OF DUAL STATOR-WINDING INDUCTION GENERATOR WITH PWM CONVERTER

To minimize the reactive power of the converter of the control winding in the novel dual stator-winding induction generator based on the PWM converter, design features of the induction generator with a rectified load are proposed. The optimization method of excited capacitors to minimize the reactive power of the control winding at a variable speed is given. The calculation capacity of the machine with a diode bridge rectifier load is proposed. To achieve global searching, the integrated method with the improved real-coded genetic algorithm and the twodimensional finite element method （FEM） is introduced. Design results of the sample show that reactive power can be reduced by the method, and the converter capacity can be decreased to 1/3 of output rated power at the speed ratio of 1 ： 3, thus reducing the volume and the mass of the inverter.

Reference-input-based Imaginary Axis Current Estimation Method for DQ Control Strategy in Single-phase PWM Converters

For dq control strategies in single-phase pulse width modulation(PWM)converters,the-axis current must be created by imaginary axis current estimation(IACE)methods.The estimated error of the-axis current during the transient process causes d-q axis current loops to be incompletely decoupled,thereby affecting the dynamic performance of the current loop.The second-order generalized integrator(SOGI)method suffers from slow dynamic response.The fictive-axis emulation(FAE)method provides fast dynamic response but it is sensitive to circuit parameters.A reference-input(RI)-based IACE method is proposed to overcome the above shortcomings.According to the characteristic that the-axis current loop has no transient process,the-axis current is estimated by the d-q axis reference inputs.This is equivalent to introducing the-axis reference input as a feedforward term into the d-q axis current loop,so the parameter sensitivity problem is solved,and the parameter tuning is not needed.The proposed method can maintain good steadystate performance and significantly improve the dynamic performance of the current loop.Furthermore,it is straightforward and can be easily implemented in digital controllers.Comprehensive hardware-in-the-loop(HIL)experimental comparisons with the SOGI and FAE methods have been conducted to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed RI-based IACE method.

Novel control scheme for 3-phase PWM current-source converters under unbalanced source voltage conditions

Under unbalanced source voltage supply, considerable output second harmonics and input low-order harmonics in 3-phase PWM current-source converters (PWM-CSC) are generated. This paper proposes a new deadbeat controller based on compensation for unbalanced source voltage and current. With the proposed scheme, the second harmonics of the output current are eliminated and low-order harmonics of the source current are reduced effectively. Simulation and experimental results con- firmed the feasibility of the proposed method.

Toward a nonlinear control of an AC-DC-PWM converter dedicated to induction heating

In this paper, a applied to an AC-DC-pulse nonlinear control strategy width modulation （PWM） converter is developed and simulated. First a nonlinear system modeling is derived with state variables of the input current and the output voltage by using power balance of the input and output. The system is linearized and decoupled, and then a state feedback law is obtained. For robust control of parameter perturbation, integrators are added to the exact feedback control law. The simulation is provided to verify the validity of the control algorithm.

A new approach to time domain analysis of perturbed PWM push-pull DC-DC converter

In this paper, an analytical technique is presented for time domain analysis （transient and steady-state response） of perturbed PWM push-pull DC-DC converter using interesting corollary on Kharitonov＇s theorem. The main advantage of the proposed analysis is that even though the transfer function model of a PWM push-pull DC-DC converter is perturbed, the complete analysis has been done on a linear transfer function model of a PWM push-pull DC-DC converter. The proposed analysis is verified using MATLAB simulation. This analysis will be very much useful to power electronics engineers, since the technique is very simple and computationally efficient and easily applicable in precise applications such as aerospace applications.

Time-domain Dynamic-performanceimprovement Method for Pulse-width-modulated DC-DC Converters Based on Eigenvalue and Eigenvector Sensitivity

For pulse-width modulated(PWM)DC-DC converters,the input voltage fluctuation and load variation in practical applications make it necessary for them to have better dynamic performance to meet the regulation requirements of the system.The dynamic-performance-improvement method for PWM DC-DC converters is mainly based on indirect dynamic performance indices,such as the gain margin and phase margin.However,both settling time and overshoot in the time domain are important in practical engineering.This makes it difficult for designers to obtain a clear understanding of the time-domain dynamic performance that can be achieved with improved control.In this study,a direct analysis of the time-domain dynamic characteristic of PWM DC-DC converters is performed.A dynamic-performance-improvement method based on eigenvalues and eigenvector sensitivity(E2S-based DPIM)is proposed to directly improve the time-domain dynamic performance index of PWM DC-DC converters.By considering a boost converter with proportional-integral control as an example,an additional virtual inductor current feedback control was designed using the proposed dynamic-performance-improvement method.Simulation and experimental results verify the validity and accuracy of the proposed dynamic-performance-improvement method.
