Intensification of Power Quality Using PMSG and Cascaded Multi Cell Trans-Z-Source Inverter

This script depicts the power quality intensification of Wind Energy Transfer System (WETS) using Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) and Cascaded Multi Cell Trans-Z-Source Inverter (CMCTZSI). The PMSG knocks the induction generator and earlier generators, because of their stimulating performances without taking the frame power. The Trans-Z-Source Inverter with one transformer and one capacitor is connected newly. To increase the boosting ratio gratuity a cascaded impression is proposed with adopting multi-winding transformer which provides an option for this manuscript to use coupled inductor as an alternative of multi-winding transformer and remains the matching voltage gain as cascaded multi cell trans-Z- source inverter. Accordingly the parallel capacitances are also balancing the voltage gain. The parallel correlation of the method is essentially to trim down the voltage stresses and to improve the input current gain of the inverter. By using MALAB Simulation, harmonics can be reduced up to 1.32% and also DC side can be boosted up our required level 200 - 1000 V achievable. The new hardware setup results demonstrate to facilitate the multi cell Trans Z-source inverter. This can be generated high-voltage gain [50 V - 1000 V] and also be credible. Moreover, the level of currents, voltages and Harmonics on the machinery is low.

Online Learning Control for Harmonics Reduction Based on Current Controlled Voltage Source Power Inverters

Nonlinear loads in the power distribution system cause non-sinusoidal currents and voltages with harmonic components.Shunt active filters(SAF) with current controlled voltage source inverters(CCVSI) are usually used to obtain balanced and sinusoidal source currents by injecting compensation currents.However,CCVSI with traditional controllers have a limited transient and steady state performance.In this paper,we propose an adaptive dynamic programming(ADP) controller with online learning capability to improve transient response and harmonics.The proposed controller works alongside existing proportional integral(PI) controllers to efficiently track the reference currents in the d-q domain.It can generate adaptive control actions to compensate the PI controller.The proposed system was simulated under different nonlinear(three-phase full wave rectifier) load conditions.The performance of the proposed approach was compared with the traditional approach.We have also included the simulation results without connecting the traditional PI control based power inverter for reference comparison.The online learning based ADP controller not only reduced average total harmonic distortion by 18.41%,but also outperformed traditional PI controllers during transients.

Quasi-Z Source Inverter Control of PV Grid-Connected Based on Fuzzy PCI

The photovoltaic grid-connected inverter is an important interface between the photovoltaic power generation system and power grid.Its high-quality operation is directly related to the output power quality of the power grid.In order to further optimize the control effect of the quasi-Z source grid-connected photovoltaic inverter,a fuzzy proportional complex integral control(PCI)method is proposed for the current internal loop control.This method can eliminate the steady-state error,and has the characteristic of zero steady-state error adjustment for the AC disturbance signal of a specific frequency.The inductance-capacitance-inductance(LCL)filter is adopted in the grid-connected circuit,and the feedback capacitive current is taken as the control variable of the inner loop to form the active damping control method,which can not only effectively suppress the resonance of the LCL circuit,but also significantly inhibit the high-order harmonics in the grid-connected current.Finally,a system simulation model is built in MATLAB/Simulink to verify the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Topology for current-source grid-connected inverter with improved effciency and pulse width modulation control strategy

A novel topology of the current-source grid-connected inverter is proposed based on the immittance converter theory. A control strategy of sine-sine pulse width modulation （PWM） is studied. Compared with the traditional current-source inverter, the power frequency inductors and power frequency transformer are replaced with high frequency inductors and a high frequency transformer. Thus, the proposed inverter has advantages of small volume, low cost, low total harmonic distortion （THD）, low power losses, high power factor （PF） and simple control. Furthermore, grid voltage cannot influence output current of the grid-connected inverter and the current-source inverter with a high PF that approaches one has been realized. Finally, validity of the theory analysis and feasibility of the control scheme are shown by simulation and experimental results.

Inherently Sinusoidal Single-phase Voltage Source Inverter Based on Modified Cuk Cell

Renewable energy has become important for electricity generation because of the high air pollution associated with conventional fossil-based energy systems.Conventional fossil-based power plants are gradually transitioning by incorporating renewable energy sources,such as photovoltaic(PV)cells.In a PV system,an inverter converts DC power from solar panels to AC power required to serve common electrical loads.A conventional H-bridge inverter topology has several disadvantages,such as the voltage being not sinusoidal,switching the DC voltage and high common-mode voltage.The common-mode voltage can cause a large leaked capacitive current,which can result in undesirable operation in solar power applications.A common solution to this problem is the addition of a large filter to the input or output of an inverter.An inherent sinusoidal voltage source inverter based on a modified Cuk converter as its basic cell,which simultaneously generates a sinusoidal output voltage and a lower common-mode voltage,is proposed.The proposed topology does not require additional input or output filters.Analytical expressions are derived to confirm the operation of the proposed topology.Simulation results confirm the mathematical analysis.A laboratory-scale experiment is performed to verify the proposed inverter.

Three Phase Dual Input Direct Matrix Converter for Integration of Two AC Sources from Wind Turbines

This project proposes a novel dual-input matrix converter (DIMC) which is used to integrate the output of the wind energy to a power grid. The proposed matrix converter is developed based on the traditional indirect matrix converter under reverse power flow operation mode, but with its six-switch voltage source converter replaced by a nine-switch configuration followed by the current source inverter (CSI). Matrix electric power conversion topologies and their switch functions are flexible and are used for specific applications. With the additional three switches, the proposed DIMC can provide six input terminals, which make it possible to integrate two independent AC sources from two independent wind turbines into a single grid tied power electronics interface. Commanded currents can be extracted from the two input sources to the grid. The proposed PI control and modulation schemes guaranteed sinusoidal input and output waveforms as well as reduced THD. The simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control and modulation schemes for the proposed converter.

Predictive Control Based on Ranking Multi-objective Optimization Approaches for a quasi-Z Source Inverter

In power converter control,predictive control has several merits,such as simple concept and fast response.However,the necessity to use the weighting factor inside the cost function makes the control design complex in the case of regulating multivariables where the value of the weighting factor is obtained by a nontrivial process.Also,it primarily depends on the system parameters and operating points of the control system.This paper aims to enhance the model predictive algorithm of the singlestage topology of a quasi-Z Source Inverter(qZSI).The concept of a multi-objective optimization approach is used in addition to the sub-cost function definition to remove the weighting factors.By using the sub-cost function definition,the inductor current is pushed away from the main loop of the predictive algorithm.Thus,no weighting factor is needed to manage the priority of the inductor current.The other two control targets,which are the capacitor voltage and load currents,will be controlled by the multi-objective optimization approach without using any weighting factors.A detailed theoretical analysis of the proposed technique will be given and validated based on simulation results.

Generalized multilevel current source inverter topology with self-balancing current

A generalized single-phase multilevel current source inverter (MCSI) topology with self-balancing current is proposed, which uses the duality transformation from the generalized multilevel voltage source inverter (MVSI) topology. The existing single-phase 8-and 6-switch 5-level current source inverters (CSIs) can be derived from this generalized MCSI topology. In the proposed topology, each intermediate DC-link current level can be balanced automatically without adding any external circuits; thus, a true multilevel structure is provided. Moreover, owing to the dual relationship, many research results relating to the op- eration, modulation, and control strategies of MVSIs can be applied directly to the MCSIs. Some simulation results are presented to verify the proposed MCSI topology.

The main objective of this paper is to reduce the total harmonics in a single phase voltage source inverter using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimization technique for critical load applications. Single phase inverter is a non-linear load using power electronic components causing distortions in the load voltage and current wave patterns from the sinusoidal waveforms due to harmonics.

An optimal ABC technique has been designed and optimized values are estimated using a full bridge voltage controlled inverter using Proportional Integral Algorithm. The MATLAB/SIMULINK tool and Experimental setup were implemented and their THD values were estimated. Also this ABC scheme is compared with the previous results such as PI Algorithm, Fuzzy logic controller and Neuro-fuzzy controllers. From the simulation and experimental results using ABC algorithm, it is observed that the total harmonics are mitigated considerably compared to previous results with respect to the power quality standards such as IEEE-519 and IEC 61000.
