Analysis of active impedance characteristics and harmonic deterioration of multiple grid connected inverters considering nonlinear factors

AbstractThe harmonic problems caused by non‐linear factors of the grid connected inverter (GCI) system are more complicated, including both non‐characteristic harmonics emitted by the dead‐time and the changes in harmonic impedance characteristics. Harmonics interact with the changing impedance, and even cause harmonic amplification and resonance. The harmonic deterioration of the multiple GCIs system is serious. To analyse the mechanism and way of harmonic deterioration in grid‐connected system caused by nonlinear factors, the active impedance models of single inverter and multiple GCIs system including dead‐time effect and digital control delay are established first. In view of this, the influence mechanism of non‐linear factors on system stability is explored. The improved modal analysis method is used to traverse the network series parallel resonance caused by nonlinear factors. The results show that both the dead‐time effect and digital control delay reduce phase margin of the system, resulting in the resonant frequency shift and the resonant peak increase. When the harmonic excitation source interacts with the complex network under the influence of nonlinear factors, it will lead to further deterioration of harmonics. Finally, based on the MATLAB and RT‐LAB hardware‐in‐the‐loop simulation platforms, a multiple GCIs system model is built to verify the correctness of the established active impedance model and harmonic deterioration analysis.

Resonance Suppression Method Based on Hybrid Damping Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control for Multi-Parallel Converters

The parallel operation of multiple LCL-type converters will result in a deviation of the resonant frequency and resonance phenomena. The occurrence of harmonic resonance can cause problems such as an increase in harmonic voltage and current. This can lead to the malfunction of relay protection and automatic devices, causing damage to system equipment. In severe cases, it can cause accidents and threaten the safe operation of the power system. A hybrid damping active disturbance rejection control (HD-ADRC) method is proposed in this paper to suppress the harmonic resonance of parallel LCL-type converters. First, a third-order linear disturbance rejection controller (LADRC) including the linear extended-state observer and the error-feedback control rate is designed based on LCL-type converter model analysis. The proposed method considers the resonance couplings caused by both internal and external disturbances as the total disturbance, thus improving the anti-disturbance capabilities as well as the operational stability of converters in parallel. Then, a hybrid damping control is proposed to reconstruct the damping characteristics of converters to suppress the parallel resonance spike and reduce the resonance frequency offset. And the parameter selection of the control system is optimized through a stability analysis of the tracking performance and anti-disturbance performance of the HD-ADRC controller. Finally, all the theoretical considerations are verified by simulation and experimental results based on the Matlab/Simulink 2018B and dSpace platform. The simulation and experimental results show that the PI controller gives a THD of 5.33%, which is reduced to 4.66% by employing the HD-LADRC, indicating an improved decoupling between the converters working in parallel with the proposed control scheme.

Nonlinear metamaterials enhanced surface coil array for parallel magnetic resonance imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a crucial medical imaging modality, with parallel MRI accelerating scans but often reducing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Recent advances in metamaterials have shown considerable potential in enhancing the SNR of MRI and consequently improving the quality of parallel MRI. In this study, we present a nonlinear metamaterial comprising nonlinear meta-atoms designed to selectively enhance the radio-frequency reception field in MRI, while minimizing interference with the radio-frequency transmission field. We develop an electromagnetic field-circuit joint simulation process for analyzing and optimizing the nonlinear response. Experimental validation confirms that nonlinear metamaterial integration in a surface coil array delivers a 3-fold SNR increase for parallel MRI compared to using the surface coil array alone. This research advances our understanding of such metamaterials and demonstrates their potential for practical utilization in MRI and clinical settings, thereby promising substantial enhancements in imaging capabilities.

A Multiphase <i>LCC</i>-S Compensated Wireless Power Transfer System Based on Integrated Inversely Coupled Inductors and Parallel Resonance

A digital twin for parallel liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

One approach to increasing nuclear magnetic resonance measurement sample throughput is to implement multiple, independent detection sites. However, the presence of radio frequency interference poses a challenge in multi-detector systems, particularly in unshielded coil arrays lacking sufficient electrical isolation. This issue can lead to unwanted coupling of inductive coils, resulting in excitation pulse interference and signal transfer among multiple detection sites. Here we propose a theoretical framework that combines electromagnetic simulation with spin-dynamic calculations. This framework enables the evaluation of coil coupling effects, the design of parallel pulse sequences to mitigate inter-channel coupling, and the separation of composite free induction decays obtained from multiple detectors. The parallel pulse compensation scheme was validated by a 2-channel parallel spectroscopy experiment. These results provide valuable insights for the design of parallel nuclear magnetic resonance hardware and for exploring the limits of parallelization capacity within a fixed magnet system.

Harmonic impedance optimization scheme for multi‐resonance systems to suppress resonance

AbstractHarmonic resonance is caused by harmonic source matching resonance frequency and presents the characteristics of decentralization and whole network in modern grids. The current resonance suppression methods mainly focus on reducing the harmonic source, and are suitable for single‐site and small‐scale grids. This paper presents a new method for suppressing parallel resonance at system level. The holistic harmonic resonance is suppressed by reducing the harmonic impedance. In addition, new resonances are prevented by weakening the coupling between resonance and non‐resonance frequencies. The resonance modal analysis and resonance frequency shift (RFS) are employed to optimize harmonic impedance. Simulation results indicate that the capacitance parameter has higher sensitivity and is theoretically more suitable for RFS. Considering the accuracy of modal frequency sensitivity, a variable‐limit genetic algorithm for iteration is proposed. The validity of the proposed method was verified using an IEEE 14‐bus test network.

Battery‐free ultra‐low‐power radio‐frequency receiver for mm‐wave applications using 130‐nm CMOS technology with harvested DC supplies

SummaryThis paper presents a battery‐free ultra‐low‐power (ULP), highly integrated, and wide‐bandwidth low‐IF radio‐frequency (RF) receiver designed for millimeter‐wave (mm‐Wave) applications, utilizing 130‐nm CMOS technology. The suggested RF receiver is suitable for K‐band (n258) at 26 GHz, Ka‐band (n261 and n257) at 28 GHz, and the LMDS band at 28 GHz in fifth‐generation applications. The proposed radio receiver consists of a low‐noise driver stage implemented using a complementary current‐reuse common gate with an active shunt feedback configuration and an in‐phase/quadrature‐phase (I/Q) demodulator. The proposed RF receiver employs transformer coupling to isolate the DC path between the transconductance stage (RF stage) and the switching stage (IF stage). The driver stage expands the RF input impedance while maintaining acceptable linearity and gain with ultra‐low DC power dissipation. The DC supplies for the proposed mm‐Wave RF receiver are generated using two novel energy‐harvesting voltage doubler circuits to provide positive and negative voltages. The proposed mm‐Wave radio receiver consumes 0.475 mW from a 1.1 V DC supply and exhibits a power conversion gain (CG) of 6.3 dB, with a 3 dB frequency bandwidth extending from 22 to 32 GHz. The input 1‐dB compression point (P1dB) of the RF receiver is −2.65 dBm, and the input third‐order intercept point (IIP3) is 7.35 dBm. With a sensitivity of −66.5 dBm at a 100 MHz channel bandwidth and a dynamic range of 63.85 dB, the suggested receiver demonstrates notable performance characteristics. The proposed radio receiver boasts an excellent figure of merit (FoM) at 215 dB, surpassing published works by a margin of 8–31 dB. The primary positive supply voltage is derived from a double‐band positive voltage doubler with series resonance feedback and parallel resonance networks, efficiently achieving the desired DC voltage and output current (1.1 V and 450 μA). Meanwhile, the negative gate bias is provided by a negative voltage doubler, ensuring the necessary negative voltage (−0.5 V) without any current conditions.

Experimental analysis of a multi-phase resonance-based fault current limiter prototype under symmetrical and asymmetrical faults

Expansion of power systems and involving more distributed generation cause to increase in fault current levels. This paper presents a three-phase resonance-based solid-state fault current limiter (FCL) prototype that has series and parallel resonance modes developed to suppress fault currents of power systems. The laboratory-scaled prototype is located on a three-phase test circuit and has been examined with the fault types of three-phase, three phase-to-ground, two phase-to-ground, and phase-to-ground. The performance and effectiveness of the proposed series-parallel resonance-type fault current limiter (SPRFCL) are validated with the comparison of Matlab/Simulink simulations and experimental test results. Fault currents in different types of faults are limited to an allowable value at high rates and experimental results are considerably close to current values obtained from each fault simulation. Fault currents of faulted phases are restricted with the limiting rates ranging from 75 % to 85 % concerning prospective fault currents in the non-FCL situations. Short-circuit test results of the prototype of SPRFCL that is supplied from a 380 V grid revealed that it acts stable and successful operation regardless of fault type. Accordingly, it has a favorable circuit design for power system applications.

DFUSNN: zero-shot dual-domain fusion unsupervised neural network for parallel MRI reconstruction

Objective. Recently, deep learning models have been used to reconstruct parallel magnetic resonance (MR) images from undersampled k-space data. However, most existing approaches depend on large databases of fully sampled MR data for training, which can be challenging or sometimes infeasible to acquire in certain scenarios. The goal is to develop an effective alternative for improved reconstruction quality that does not rely on external training datasets. Approach. We introduce a novel zero-shot dual-domain fusion unsupervised neural network (DFUSNN) for parallel MR imaging reconstruction without any external training datasets. We employ the Noise2Noise (N2N) network for the reconstruction in the k-space domain, integrate phase and coil sensitivity smoothness priors into the k-space N2N network, and use an early stopping criterion to prevent overfitting. Additionally, we propose a dual-domain fusion method based on Bayesian optimization to enhance reconstruction quality efficiently. Results. Simulation experiments conducted on three datasets with different undersampling patterns showed that the DFUSNN outperforms all other competing unsupervised methods and the one-shot Hankel-k-space generative model (HKGM). The DFUSNN also achieves comparable results to the supervised Deep-SLR method. Significance. The novel DFUSNN model offers a viable solution for reconstructing high-quality MR images without the need for external training datasets, thereby overcoming a major hurdle in scenarios where acquiring fully sampled MR data is difficult.

Numerical Extraction of the Equivalent Circuit for a Basic Magnetoelectric Dipole Antenna

Magnetoelectric dipoles have attracted global research attention due to its broadband, unidirectional, and high front-to-back ratio characteristics. This study implemented a co-simulation between a basic magnetoelectric dipole and its front feeding circuit through the step-by-step numerical extraction of its equivalent circuit model equipped with lumped and frequency-independent components. First, the series resonance subcircuit was derived from the series resonance point in the impedance of the magnetoelectric dipole. Second, the parallel resonance sub-circuit was achieved based on the parallel resonance point. By combining the series and parallel sub-circuits according to the sequence of their resonance frequency, the final form of the equivalent circuit for the basic magnetoelectric dipole was realized. Furthermore, to obtain the component values of the proposed circuit, a numerical fitting technique was adopted to accurately match the input impedance of the antenna and its equivalent circuit. A comparison of the circuit and antenna electromagnetic simulations showed that they agreed well with each other. Hence, the correctness and feasibility of the extraction process were verified. The overall results showed that the proposed circuit model can easily substitute for a basic magnetoelectric dipole in the implementation of antenna/circuit cosimulation in circuit simulators.

Design, Fabrication and Performance Analysis of a Portable, Antenna Analyzer Based, Quartz Crystal Microbalance Measuring System with Energy Dissipation

Impedance measurements play a critical role in analyzing the electrical behavior of piezoelectric biosensors in general. Antenna analyzers are engineered to measure the specific case of input impedance for antenna systems. In this study small form factor antenna analyzer is repurposed to work as driving circuit for a Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) biosensor in combination with a single board computer as an indication of how small and portable an impedance measuring system can be made, while allowing monitoring of important parameters of series and parallel resonance frequencies together with dissipation factor. A QCM crystal with a 10 MHz fundamental resonance frequency is employed to determine the limit of detection of the system in Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and glycerol solutions. Dissipation factor and phase angle were monitored during the experiments. Limit of detection is 20 µg/ml BSA in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and 250 µl of glycerol in 100 ml of deionized water.

Determination of Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Liquids Using a Resonator with a Longitudinal Electric Field

The possibility of determining the elastic modules, viscosity coefficients, dielectric constant and electrical conductivity of a viscous conducting liquid using a piezoelectric resonator with a longitudinal electric field is shown. For the research, we chose a piezoelectric resonator made on an AT-cut quartz plate with round electrodes, operating with a shear acoustic mode at a frequency of about 4.4 MHz. The resonator was fixed to the bottom of a 30 mL liquid container. The samples of a mixture of glycerol and water with different viscosity and conductivity were used as test liquids. First, the frequency dependences of the real and imaginary parts of the electrical impedance of a free resonator were measured and, using the Mason electromechanical circuit, the elastic module, viscosity coefficient, piezoelectric constant and dielectric constant of the resonator material (quartz) were determined. Then, the container was filled with the test sample of a liquid mixture so that the resonator was completely covered with liquid, and the measurement of the frequency dependences of the real and imaginary parts of the electrical impedance of the loaded resonator was repeated. The dependences of the frequency of parallel and series resonances, as well as the maximum values of the electrical impedance and admittance on the conductivity of liquids for various viscosity values, were plotted. It was shown that these dependences can be used to unambiguously determine the viscosity and conductivity of the test liquid. Next, by fitting the theoretical frequency dependences of the real and imaginary parts of the electrical impedance of the resonator loaded with the liquid under study to the experimental dependences, the elastic module of the liquid and its dielectric constant were determined.

Nonmonotone variable metric Barzilai-Borwein method for composite minimization problem

&lt;abstract&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this study, we develop a nonmonotone variable metric Barzilai-Borwein method for minimizing the sum of a smooth function and a convex, possibly nondifferentiable, function. At each step, the descent direction is obtained by taking the difference between the minimizer of the scaling proximal function and the current iteration point. An adaptive nonmonotone line search is proposed for determining the step length along this direction. We also show that the limit point of the iterates sequence is a stationary point. Numerical results with parallel magnetic resonance imaging, Poisson, and Cauchy noise deblurring demonstrate the effectiveness of the new algorithm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/abstract&gt;

Mode restrictions in the power supply system of industrial induction equipment

The article investigates the frequency features of the power supply of induction heaters designed for aluminum extrusion. Mode regulation is performed by local connection of capacitor banks with the creation of parallel resonance. The scheme of the power supply system is built on the basis of an adjustable frequency converter. To study the induction complex, a mathematical model was created in the frequency and time domains. The calculation showed the possibility of a resonant mode with a deterioration in the frequency regulation of currents with an unsuccessful choice of design. In the course of modeling using a modified nodal analysis, a set of parameters that create a resonance is considered. The frequency characteristics and vector diagrams of the induction device are obtained, which reveal the unfavorable mode. Based on the results of the study, recommendations are proposed for correcting the algorithms for controlling the inverter of the power supply system and overcoming the limitations.

Huanglian Jiedu Wan intervened with “Shi-Re Shanghuo” syndrome through regulating immune balance mediated by biomarker succinate

With increasing stress in daily life and work, subhealth conditions induced by “Shi-Re Shanghuo” syndrome was gradually universal. “Huanglian Jiedu Wan” (HLJDW) was the first new syndrome Chinese medicine approved for the treatment of “Shi-Re Shanghuo” with promising clinical efficacy. Preliminary small-sample clinical studies have identified some notable biomarkers (succinate, 4-hydroxynonenal, etc.). However, the correlation and underlying mechanism between these biomarkers of HLJDW intervention on “Shi-Re Shanghuo” syndrome remained ambiguous. Therefore, this study was designed as a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical trial, employing integrated analysis techniques such as non-targeted and targeted metabolomics, salivary microbiota, proteomics, parallel peaction monitoring, molecular docking and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The results of the correlation analysis indicated that HLJDW could mediate the balance between inflammation and immunity through succinate produced via host and microbial source to intervene “Shi-Re Shanghuo” syndrome. Further through the HIF1α/MMP9 pathway, succinate regulated downstream arachidonic acid metabolism, particularly the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal. Finally, an animal model of recurrent oral ulcers induced by “Shi-Re Shang Huo” was established and HLJDW was used for intervention, key essential indicators (succinate, glutamine, 4-hydroxynonenal, arachidonic acid metabolism) essential in the potential pathway HIF1α/MMP9 discovered in clinical practice were validated. The results were found to be consistent with our clinical findings. Taken together, succinate was observed as an important signal that triggered immune responses, which might serve as a key regulatory metabolic switch or marker of “Shi-Re Shanghuo” syndrome treated with HLJDW.

Detection of single line to ground fault and self-extinguishing by using a variable and a fixedable inductance in distribution grid in power

This paper tackled the method for determining the number of Peterson coil which is can compensate with the capacitance because it is important in determining the state of parallel resonance, which in turn control the ground fault current and make the approximate value of the current equal to the current in the sound phases. In this way, we can protect the electrical devices and equipment from being damaged by residual current resulting from the arc due to ground fault, which increases the temperature of conductors which are to a breakdown of insulators and damaging them. Ground fault current equals three times the actual current, and its effect depends on two types of variables which are the first: the number of Peterson coils (which specify the inductance value and compensated) and second: the period time of extinguishing electric are in the ground fault. we obtain, by experimental in the lab where it using the servo motor to control the number of Peterson coils which in turn specify the variable and invariable inductance. We have obtained optimal results for the value of ground-fault current, detect the ground fault and treat it without effect of network load and without power cut off for consumer.

Modeling and Design of Nonresonant-Node-Based Filtenna for Triband Wi-Fi Application

The triband wireless Wi-Fi router radiated by series-fed antennas suffers from serious mutual coupling, resulting in throughput degradation. To reduce the mutual coupling, the filtering antennas (filtennas) are designed with nonresonant node (NRN) radiators and series-fed antennas. The NRN filtering radiators are characterized by the NRN filtering circuits, which includes the capacitance and inductance NRNs. These NRNs realize a parallel resonance and radiation zero simultaneously. The radiation zero frequency is smaller or larger than the resonant frequency in the capacitance and inductance NRN, respectively. As the mechanism to manipulate the resonant frequency and radiation zero is figured out, the NRN filtering radiators are designed, and the above analysis is validated. Then, the series-fed antenna equivalent to a parallel resonance is fed by the NRN filtering radiator, and a second-order bandpass filtering network is formed. Its filtering response with the radiation zero realizes a high out-of-band rejection to reduce the mutual coupling. For demonstration, a cross-coupling NRN filtenna is designed to work at 2.4–2.5 GHz low band (LB), while the inductance and capacitance NRN filtennas operate at 5.17–5.33GHz mid band (MB) and 5.735–5.835 GHz high band (HB), respectively. Herein, the radiation zero of the MB antenna is designed at HB, while the HB radiation zero operates at MB. The measurement results exhibit that the mutual coupling is reduced, and the throughput of the triband wireless Wi-Fi router is improved.

Interval Type - 2 Fuzzy Logic Controller Based Shunt Active Power Filter for Power Quality Enhencement

Frequent wide spread of power electronics equipment to consumers have led to power quality problem in power system network, as a result to their nonlinear in nature. Due to this problem, current and voltage wave forms are no longer sinusoidal, which resulted in harmonics on them. Various methods have been deployed in order to mitigate the harmonic issues, like passive power filters and shunt active power filters. Presently, passive power filters are limited in used, because of its demerits as it produced parallel resonances, heavy in size and mitigate few harmonics. With the advancement in technology, shunt active power filters have become superior to passive power filters due to its limitations. Shunt active power filters was tested for suppressing harmonics produced by nonlinear loads. This article, used synchronous reference frame (SRF) in generating harmonic produced by nonlinear loads. However, T2FLC is utilized in controlling the DC bus voltage of the filter constant. Hysteresis current controller was introduced for firing the gating signal of the IGBT inverter circuit. MATLAB software was deployed in the simulation work. Results obtained have satisfied the tolerable 2014 revised harmonics limit.

Artificial intelligence-driven shimming for parallel high field nuclear magnetic resonance

Rapid drug development requires a high throughput screening technology. NMR could benefit from parallel detection but is hampered by technical obstacles. Detection sites must be magnetically shimmed to ppb uniformity, which for parallel detection is precluded by commercial shimming technology. Here we show that, by centering a separate shim system over each detector and employing deep learning to cope with overlapping non-orthogonal shimming fields, parallel detectors can be rapidly calibrated. Our implementation also reports the smallest NMR stripline detectors to date, based on an origami technique, facilitating further upscaling in the number of detection sites within the magnet bore.
