Mitigation of power quality problems using voltage-controlled based modified DSTATCOM

ABSTRACT This paper proposes a modified distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) with the voltage controller. The modified DSTATCOM is incorporated in a three-phase four-wire distribution network. The design criteria of the modified DSTATCOM parameters is introduced. The Hysteresis Voltage Controller (HVC) is used to drive the Voltage Source Converter (VSC) and its reference voltage signal is generated based on the Instantaneous Symmetrical Components Theory (ISCT) to provide the proper compensation to stabilise the system voltage, improve the power factor and mitigate the harmonic distortion. Matlab/Simulink software is used to verify the performance of the modified DSTATCOM with the used controller under different load types and supply voltage conditions. The control algorithm ensures that the bus voltage is maintained at its rated value during different connected loads and supply conditions. Also, it compensates the non-linear and unbalanced supply currents and reducing the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of both current and voltage. The proposed modified DSTATCOM gives better results in comparison with the conventional DSTATCOM.

ReL-SSHI rectifier based piezoelectric energy harvesting circuit with MPPT control technique

Rectifier-Less Synchronized Switch Harvesting on Inductor (ReL-SSHI) interface is one of the most efficient interfaces for weakly-coupled piezoelectric (PE) systems. However, ReL-SSHI interface has narrow optimal rectified voltage range. Therefore, in this paper a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) circuit is presented for ReL-SSHI interface. An envelope extractor and a hysteresis voltage controller are used in the MPPT, which can monitor the open circuit (OC) voltage of piezoelectric transducer (PZT) during Energy Harvesting (EH). Simulation shows the maximum MPPT efficiency can reach up to 99.1% and the Figure of Merit (FoM) factor can achieve 6.4. The measurements confirm the simplicity and efficiency of the proposed MPPT solution for the weakly-coupled piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH).

A New Technique Implemented in Synchronous Reference Frame for DVR Control Under Severe Sag and Swell Conditions

Nowadays, power quality under the excessive implementation of power electronics devices is quite challenging issue. The compensation of non-sinusoidal; reactive and harmonic; components is the main role for power quality devices which highly depend on the robustness of the control system. Some common control systems are implemented using Synchronous Stationary Frame (DQ) theory. This paper proposes a new version of DQ control technique to control dynamic voltage restorer under severe transient voltage conditions. The power system network with the new DQ control technique is studied and analyzed under different scenarios to compensate for severe balanced and unbalanced voltage sags and swells. This new scheme is based on extraction of positive sequence components to implement the control algorithm. A mathematical model of the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), hysteresis voltage control, converter controller model, new DQ scheme with complete system equations are carried out and verified using Simulink / MATLAB. The proposed system is validated experimentally using DSpace 1104 based laboratory system. The obtained results of the proposed compensation algorithm are compared with the results obtained from the traditional DQ method. Simulation and experimental results are correlated and show effectiveness of the proposed DQ control scheme.

This paper describes a controller for Three-Phase Induction Motor. Induction motor is an electromechanical actuator widely used due to its reliability and relatively low maintenance cost. However, the control problem of an induction motor is complex due to nonlinearities, load torque perturbation, and parameter uncertainties. An element included in this study is voltage source control, which is to control the voltage fed from three-phase inverter to Three-Phase Induction Motor. Hysteresis Controller was proposed in this paper to minimize voltage error. Hysteresis controller is seen as an input – output phase lag corrector. The implementation of the designed hysteresis controller is performed in simulation using MATLAB/Simulink.

Hysteresis Voltage Prediction Control for Multilevel Converter in the Series-Form Switch-Linear Hybrid Envelope Tracking Power Supply

Switch-linear hybrid (SLH) envelope tracking (ET) power supply can achieve high efficiency and high tracking bandwidth simultaneously, and it has two typical forms, namely, series-form and parallel-form. In the series-form SLH ET power supply, the switched-mode converter is expected to output a continuous-wave voltage which can track the load voltage accurately to enhance the overall efficiency, and the buck converter with hysteresis voltage control (HVC) can be utilized. However, the output voltage of the buck converter will go over the hysteresis voltage boundaries, degrading the linearity and efficiency of the ET power supply. In this article, the hysteresis voltage prediction control (HVPC) is proposed to mitigate the problem in the HVC for buck converter. Moreover, in order to further increase the efficiency, the multilevel converter (MLC) is adopted instead of the buck converter for reducing the switching frequency and the inductor root-mean-square current, and the corresponding HVPC control strategy is also proposed. A prototype of the series-form SLH ET power supply employing the MLC with HVPC aimed at 5-MHz envelope signal is fabricated in the lab. The measured overall efficiency is 77.5%, a 12% efficiency improvement over that using step-wave switched-mode converter.

Energy efficiency enhancement using dynamic voltage restorer (DVR)

Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a device that can compensate harmonic, voltage sag and voltage swell condition that exists in a three-phase system. Other than that, DVR can also be used to enhance the energy efficiency or energy saving by reducing excessive amount of incoming power via the reduction incoming voltage at allowable limit. The DVR can inject the required voltage in the system so that the interruption of supply voltage can be compensated. The compensation of voltage supply interruption is improved based on the hysteresis voltage output of controller used in the DVR to detect the difference between reference voltage and disrupted voltage. The hysteresis voltage control mainly controlled by relays switching so that the signal can be sent to IGBT switches controller. The hysteresis voltage control and unipolar SPWM is supplied to control the IGBT switches by the DC supply for voltage interruption compensation. The unipolar SPWM technique converts the DC supply voltage into AC supplied voltage, thus making the DVR injection become easier to inject the AC voltage into the system to compensate voltage sag and voltage swell.

A Fully Soft Switched Point-of-Load Converter for Resource Constraint Drone Applications

The power efficiency and weight of present point-of-load (POL) dc–dc converters for drone applications are often compromised because they suffer from large switching losses at continuous conduction mode for heavy loads and excessive hardware overheads at discontinuous conduction mode for light loads. This paper presents a boundary conduction mode (BCM) control scheme for POL converters embodying a single operation mode. This is achieved by means of a hysteresis voltage controller to turn on / off the output power stage when necessary. The proposed BCM control scheme achieves high power efficiency (≥91.2%) over a wide load range (5 mA–1 A) by means of fully soft switching. Specifically, a hysteretic current controller is proposed to realize ZCS, and an adaptive dead time controller is proposed to realize ZVS. Further, the proposed BCM control scheme requires a small output inductor (0.82 μH) by means of designing the customizable peak inductor current. To verify the proposed BCM control scheme, we realize a BCM-based POL converter that features an input voltage range of 5–16 V, output voltage range of 2.5–8 V, switching frequency of 1.5 MHz, peak power efficiency of 96.8%, and ≤35 mV output voltage undershoot/overshoot for 1-A load step. When being benchmarked against state-of-the-art counterparts, the proposed design features the lowest voltage undershoot/overshoot, the highest switching frequency, ∼5.7× smaller inductor, and ∼11% higher power efficiency at light loads.

FPGA를 이용한 피에조 부하 구동용 고전압 단방향 인버터의 PI 및 히스테리시스 전압 제어 특성 비교

In this paper, hysteresis voltage control method is proposed to an unidirectional inverter control for piezoelectric load. Piezoelectric load has electrically RC characteristic, and is driven by the inverter to control the output voltage waveform. When controling the output waveform by PI control, appropriate gains need to be selected. However, hysteresis control may minimize the output distortion because it has maximum proportional gain. In addition, Hysteresis control algorithm has simple structure to realize and the response is fast. Although the switching frequency of the inverter by hysteresis control varies, the switching frequency for the piezoelectric load is lower than that by PI control for equivalent performance. In particular, on implementing the algorithm using FPGA, the algorithm can be implemented in fewer pabrics and the processing time can be reduced. The superiority of the proposed hysteresis voltage control was proved for piezoelectric load through simulation and experiment.

The real problems in diminution of power quality occurs due to the rapid growth of nonlinear load are leads to sudden decrease of source voltage for a few seconds i.e sag, swell, harmonics in source and load current, voltage unbalance etc. All these problems can be compensated by using Unified Power Quality Controller (UPQC) and the operation of UPQC depends upon the available voltage across capacitor present in dc link. If the capacitor voltage is maintained constant then it gives satisfactory performance. The proposed research is basically on designing of Photo Voltaic (PV) /Fuel cell fed to the dc link capacitor of UPQC so as to maintain proper voltage across it and operate the UPQC for power quality analysis.

These In a powers system network there are many problems related to power quality. So to improve power quality of a system we use different devices such as active power filters. Active power filters are classified into two types that is Shunt Active Power Filter (APF) and Series Active Power Filter (APF) and combination of both is known as UPQC (Unified Power Quality Conditioner). Here we have done simulation of Shunt Active Power Filter, Series Active Power Filter and Unified Power Quality Conditioner. Shunt APF is used to mitigate the problems due to current harmonics which is because of non-linear load and make source current sinusoidal and distortion free. The control scheme used is hysteresis current controller using p-q theory. Series APF is used to mitigate problems caused due to voltage distortion and unbalance present in source voltage and make load voltage perfectly balanced and regulated. The control scheme used is Hysteresis voltage controller by using a-b-c to d-q transformations. Then Shunt APF and Series APF is combined for designing UPQC and by this current harmonics in load current and voltage unbalances in source voltage both are removed and source current becomes sinusoidal and load voltage becomes perfectly balanced.

Real-Time Operation and Harmonic Analysis of Isolated and Non-Isolated Hybrid DC Microgrid

In this paper, the real-time operation and the harmonic analysis of isolated and nonisolated dc microgrid are investigated. The microgrid features hybrid energy sources with various loading schemes. This hybrid dc microgrid was supplied by an internal generator and the ac utility grid. A supercapacitor bank functions by acting as a power buffer to satisfy the high power requirements of the dc microgrid. In order to properly manage the energy and prevent the ac grid power pulsation, a current-voltage control technique based on master-slave control concept is proposed. In this technique, the supercapacitor bank operates as the master and controls the dc bus voltage. The other converters are working in current control mode to share the required power. The controllers of the converters are equipped with hysteresis voltage control, which monitors the entire supercapacitor bank. Additionally, an analog hysteresis voltage protection circuit board was designed and implemented to protect the supercapacitor cells from overvoltages that can occur due to uneven charge distribution during the fast charging processes. The protection circuit, which was developed and built here, was experimentally tested, and its error was analyzed. Various operating modes based on different power sharing patterns were defined. The experimental test was carried out for both galvanically isolated and nonisolated dc grid systems. The results show that the proposed energy management algorithm properly shares power and control the voltage. In addition, depending on the power sharing pattern, the isolation of the dc microgrid significantly affects the harmonic content of the current.

An adaptive hysteresis current and voltage control technique for controlling Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) is proposed in this paper. The novelty of the proposed method is the series and shunt active power filters (APF) present in the UPQC has been controlled by the separate adaptive controllers for reducing the voltage and current perturbations. Here, the adaptive control technique utilises Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) for generating the control pulses of the series and shunt APFs. In the adaptive control technique, ANN builds a target hysteresis control data based on the inputs such as voltage and current. By using the hysteresis control data, the control parameters are generated by the FLC. According to the output of FLC, PWM pulses are generated for controlling the APFs. The effectiveness of the proposed adaptive hysteresis control technique is identified by using the comparison analysis with the existing techniques.

A NOVEL MULTIPHASE BIDIRECTIONAL FLY-BACK CONVERTER TOPOLOGY IS APPLIED TO INDUCTION MOTOR DRIVE

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is an emerging technology in the modern world because of the fact that it mitigates environmental pollutions and at the same time increases fuel efficiency of the vehicles. Bi-directional Fly – back Converter controls electric drive of HEV of high power and enhances its performance which is the reflection of the fact that it can generate Constant voltages. For hybrid electric vehicles, the batteries and the drive dc link may be at different voltages. The batteries are at low voltage to obtain higher volumetric efficiencies, and the dc link is at higher voltage to have higher efficiency on the motor side. Therefore, a power interface between the batteries and the drive’s dc link is essential. This power interface should handle power flow from battery to motor, motor to battery, external gen-set to battery, and grid to battery. This paper proposes a multi-power-port topology which is capable of handling multiple power sources and still maintains simplicity and features like obtaining high gain, wide load variations, lower output-current ripple, and capability of parallel-battery energy due to the modular structure. The scheme incorporates a transformer winding technique which drastically reduces the leakage inductance of the coupled inductor. The development and testing of a bidirectional fly-back dc–dc converter for hybrid electric vehicle is described in this paper. Simple hysteresis voltage control is used for dc-link voltage regulation. The simulation results are presented, and modeling the circuit by using MATLAB/SIMULINK Platform.

Reduction of torque pulsation and noises in PMSM with hybrid filter topology

In this paper, a hybrid filter topology is proposed to reduce torque pulsation, switching voltage harmonics and EMI noises in PMSM with direct torque hysteresis controllers. The filter topology consists of IGBT-based active filter (AF), LC filter in the main inverter output and trap filter in the motor side. The coupling of the AF-compensated voltage and the motor main voltage is achieved through series transformer. The AF is characterized by detecting the harmonics in the motor phase voltages and uses hysteresis voltage control method to provide almost sinusoidal voltage to the motor windings. The active filter uses hysteresis voltage controller while the motor main circuit uses hysteresis direct torque control. The simulation results of this combined control structure show considerable torque ripple or pulsation reduction in steady state range and adequate dynamic torque performance as well as considerable harmonics and EMI noise reduction.
