The Effects of Voltage and Suction Line Heat Exchanger on a Domestic Refrigerator＇s Performance

This experimental analysis shows the measured reduction in energy consumption as well as the effects of voltage on cycle temperatures, pressures, flow rates and also compressor speed （revolutions per minute）. The domestic refrigerator used R134a as refrigerant. Two energy consumption procedures were adapted from the JIS and ISO standards. The biggest difference between two standards is that the fridge is not opened in the ISO test while it is opened a number of times in the JIS test. The tests were carried out between 190 V and 250 V in steps of 10 V. The reduction in energy consumption was of 49.78 W-h per day or 6.27% of the total consumption. The experiments also showed that the voltage drop resulted in only a small rpm drop which in turn did not result in a noticeable refrigerant flow-rate change. Consequently the temperatures and pressures were not affected.

Voltage Profile Optimization of Active Distribution Networks Considering Dispatchable Capacity of 5G Base Station Backup Batteries

The penetration of distributed energy resources(DERs) and energy-intensive resources is gradually increasing in active distribution networks(ADNs), which leads to frequent and severe voltage violation problems. As a densely distributed flexible resource in the future distribution network, 5G base station(BS) backup battery is used to regulate the voltage profile of ADN in this paper. First, the dispatchable potential of 5G BS backup batteries is analyzed. Considering the spatial-temporal characteristics of electric load for 5G BS, the dispatchable capacity of backup batteries at different time intervals is evaluated based on historical heat map data. Then, a voltage profile optimization model for ADN is established, consisting of 5G BS backup batteries and other voltage regulation resources. In this model, the charging/discharging behavior of backup batteries is based on its evaluation result of dispatchable capacity. Finally, the range of charging/discharging cost coefficients of 5G BS that benefits ADN and 5G operators are analyzed respectively. Further, an incentive policy for 5G operators is proposed. Under this policy, the charging/discharging cost coefficients of 5G BS can achieve a win-win situation for ADN and 5G operators. As an emerging flexible resource in ADN, the effectiveness and economy of 5G BS backup batteries participating in voltage profile optimization are verified in a test distribution network.

Costless-Function Model Predictive Current Control of Seven-Phase PMSM to Improve Dynamic Performance and Suppress Harmonics of Marine Electric Propulsion System

In order to improve the dynamic performance and suppress current harmonic for seven-phase PMSM(permanent magnet synchronous motor),this paper proposed an MPCC(mode predict current control)scheme based on SVPWM(space vector pulse width modulation)technique.By this scheme,the 14 virtual voltage vectors are first calculated based on the principle:the voltage vector synthesized in the 3rd harmonic subspace and the 5th harmonic subspace should be zero,in each sampling period,the optimal voltage vector is directly selected from the 14 virtual voltage vectors to achieve the best output current performance of seven-phase PMSM.In addition,no cost function related calculations are required in the MPCC scheme,reducing the calculation time and improving the dynamic response of the system.The simulation model of the seven-phase PMSM vector control system is established by using the Simulink tool of MATLAB,and the effectiveness of the scheme will be presented.

A weighted voltage model predictive control method for a virtual synchronous generator with enhanced parameter robustness

To address the problem of insufficient system inertia and improve the power quality of grid-connected inverters,and to enhance the stability of the power system,a method to control a virtual synchronous generator(VSG)output voltage based on model predictive control(MPC)is proposed.Parameters of the inductors,capacitors and other components of the VSG can vary as the temperature and current changes.Consequently the VSG output voltage and power control accuracy using the conventional MPC method may be reduced.In this paper,to improve the parameter robustness of the MPC method,a new weighted predictive capacitor voltage control method is proposed.Through detailed theoretical analysis,the principle of the proposed method to reduce the influence of parameter errors on voltage tracking accuracy is analyzed.Finally,the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method are verified by experimental tests using the Typhoon control hardware-in-the-loop experimental platform.

Improved Optimal Duty Model Predictive Current Control Strategy for PMSM

To further improve the steady-state performance of the conventional dual vector model predictive current control(MPCC),an improved optimal duty MPCC strategy for permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)is proposed.This strategy is realized by selecting an optimal voltage vector combination and its duration from the five basic voltage vector combinations,followed by acting on the inverter.The five combinations are:the combination of the optimal voltage vector at the previous moment and basic voltage vector with an angle difference of 60°;the combination of the optimal voltage vector at the previous moment and basic voltage vector with an angle difference of-60°;the combination of the aforementioned three basic voltage vectors with the zero vector.Experimental results indicate that the method effectively reduces the stator current ripple without increasing the calculational burden.Furthermore,it improves the steady-state performance of the system without altering the dynamic performance of the system.
