This article presents the use of model predictive control (MPC) in multilevel inverters for some applications, such as, first, wind generation and, second, photovoltaics, showing that the particular restrictions of each of them can be very easily included in the control algorithm, which is an important advantage of this technique. Another application is in modular multilevel cascaded converters, where it is demonstrated that MPC can operate with very few calculations and fixed switching frequency. The second part of this article is dedicated to comparing MPC with linear control and pulsewidth modulation for multilevel inverters. The main comparison criteria are the switching losses, the distortion in the load current, and the number of commutations. The main conclusion is that MPC is a competitive alternative to linear control for application in multilevel inverters.

Multilevel inverters (MLIs) have lately become important due to their extended application to electrical transmission and distribution systems. At the same time, the control and modulation of MLIs are especially challenging due to the high number of switching states, many of them redundant in terms of output voltage generation, and their nonlinear characteristics. In order to ease their implementation in real environment, model predictive control (MPC) is often considered, where the main control targets are: 1) to generate a the desired output current and 2) to keep the internal converter capacitor voltages at their reference value. However, a major issue with the implementation of MPC in MLIs is that the number of calculations to be done online increases dramatically with the number of levels, making it almost impossible to apply MPC in some practical cases. For these reasons, one of the main research trend in MPC for MLIs is to provide an algorithm which can reduce the computational burden necessary to operate the control. The article proposes a review of such control techniques. Starting from the basic MPC implementation and using a flying capacitor converter as an example the article review the basic strategies to avoid calculating the weighting factor in the cost function, simplifying the implementation. Also, methods to reduce the number of calculations necessary to implement MPC are shown and applied to cascaded H-bridge converters. These techniques allow to keep an high load current quality while reducing more than 95% in the number of calculations necessary to implement the control. Finally, other operation improvements of MPC are also included, such as fixed switching frequency operation and multistep MPC, reaching an important performance improvement compared to the basic MPC strategy.

This article presents the development of an electric motor with the novel distributed high-density (DHD) winding technology. The DHD winding technology utilizes round wires instead of bar wires. Unlike conventional round-wire winding technique (shed winding), the wires are orderly positioned in the slots in the DHD winding technology, resulting in high fill factor and high efficiency. The implementation of a stator with the DHD winding is presented which utilizes state-of-the-art coil winding and assembly processes. To compare against existing stator designs, a 100 kW, 800 V, and 15 000 RPM propulsion motor is tested experimentally to validate the performance of the DHD winding technology. The acoustic noise behavior of the propulsion motor is also characterized experimentally. The motor efficiency with the DHD, hairpin, and shed windings is compared for the same stator geometry using simulation results to demonstrate the performance improvement with the DHD winding technology.

Permanent magnets are popular for electric vehicle rotors due to their high energy density, making them excellent candidates for high-torque and high-speed machines. The downside of a permanent magnet machine is the inability to regulate the rotor field, creating nonideal behavior during high-speed or low-load operation, and potentially resulting in high currents and voltages in fault conditions. Several solutions to this have been explored, such as interior permanent magnet (combined reluctance and permanent magnet rotors), “hybrid” wound field and permanent magnet rotors, and variable flux machines with in-situ magnetization control or mechanical field weakening. This article proposes a novel method of regulating the air gap in axial flux machines, allowing for a low-cost mechanism allowing two degree of freedom operation without additional power electronics or modifications to the magnetics. The proposed method uses stacked linear springs to create a nonlinear bias against the attraction force, and then leverages direct axis current to control the air gap. The ideal constant current optimized field weakening spring curve is presented and the proposed concept is experimentally validated on a single-stator single-rotor axial flux machine.

This article deals with a comprehensive analysis and performance evaluation of a fully integrated two-phase cooling system for power converters. A suitable test bed has been properly manufactured to perform the experimental campaign for the evaluation of the benefits and to deploy a dedicated management procedure of the two-phase cooling. The system is tested under real operating conditions, in which the system is employed for cooling a 1200-V 100-A insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power module of an inverter controlling a permanent magnet synchronous machine. The experimental results show the inverter temperature behavior in start-up for different flow rates of coolant and different temperatures of the fluid on the secondary system. In the steady-state operation, using lower coolant flow rates in the primary circuit achieved equal or even better cooling for the IGBT module compared with higher flow rates. With respect to traditional cooling approaches, the proposed arrangement allows a greater extraction of the heat at a very low flow rate of the cooling fluid, even with standard industrial grade heat sinks, which motivates the use of this cooling technology for the next generation of power electronics converters.

The large dc-link current is a known issue in switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives, which often demand the use of a bulky dc-link capacitor. However, control techniques can be designed and optimized to lessen this issue. In this context, this article proposes the optimization of analytical torque sharing functions (TSFs) for dc-link current reduction in SRMs. Initially, the analytical TSFs are described, and the importance of adequate parameter selection is highlighted. Next, an optimization procedure based on the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II is proposed to determine the optimal turn- on and overlap angles by solving a multiobjective optimization problem considering torque rms error and dc-link rms current as objectives to be minimized, something not previously reported in the literature. The pareto fronts for different operating conditions are presented, including both soft and hard chopping operation, as well as different sampling frequencies. Then, an approach for selecting a solution from within the pareto front is described, enabling the result from the pareto front that yielded the desired tradeoff between torque RMSE and dc-link current to be identified. Experimental results are provided to support the effectiveness of the proposal. A comparison between three different cases is shown, highlighting the tradeoff between objectives.
众所周知，开关磁阻电机（SRM）驱动器的直流链路电流较大，通常需要使用体积庞大的直流链路电容器。不过，可以通过设计和优化控制技术来减少这一问题。在此背景下，本文提出了用于减少 SRM 直流电流的分析扭矩分担函数 (TSF) 的优化方案。首先，介绍了分析 TSF，并强调了适当选择参数的重要性。接下来，提出了一种基于非支配排序遗传算法 II 的优化程序，通过解决将转矩均方根误差和直流链路均方根电流作为最小化目标的多目标优化问题，确定最佳开启角和重叠角。文中给出了不同运行条件下的帕累托前沿，包括软斩波和硬斩波运行，以及不同的采样频率。然后，介绍了从帕累托前沿中选择解决方案的方法，从而能够从帕累托前沿中找出在转矩有效值和直流链路电流之间实现理想折衷的结果。实验结果证明了该建议的有效性。图中显示了三种不同情况的比较，突出了目标之间的权衡。

In this article, a refinement algorithm of the current waveform that flattens the radial-force sum in switched reluctance motors is proposed. Flattening the radial-force sum eliminates the multiples of the third radial-force component. These components excite the breathing mode vibration, which is typically the dominant vibration in switched reluctance motors with a high number of poles. The previously proposed analytical current derivation for flattening the radial-force sum neglects magnetic saturation, limiting its applicability to low-torque region. Consequently, for high-torque saturation conditions, the previous waveform shaping degrades in flattening the radial-force sum. The proposed refinement of the analytical current waveform addresses this limitation, enabling effective radial-force sum flattening even under high-torque conditions. Additionally, the proposed current exhibits significantly lower peaks than those of the flattening methods at high-torque region in the literature, mitigating the need for higher-rated inverters. Finite element analysis and experimental validation verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This article deals with the investigation of iron losses in toroidally wound laminated magnetic cores excited with wide-bandgap-device-based power electronic converters. The study aims to analyze the impact of selected pulsewidth modulation voltages on the iron losses, through an extensive experimental measurement campaign. In particular, four toroidal specimens made of different magnetic materials are supplied by pulsewidth-modulated voltage waveforms with switching frequencies ranging from 1 to 350 kHz and different deadtimes. Test campaigns have been conducted with the dual objectives of critically reviewing an engineering method proposed in the prior literature for predicting iron losses under distorted voltage waveforms. Additionally, the aim is to extend this estimation model to accommodate the highest frequencies currently employed in high-speed ac motor drives equipped with wide-bandgap semiconductor power converters.

This article introduces a novel control approach to obtain higher grid reliability using power-to-gas (P2G) conversion systems. The proposed control method named multiparallel vector current control is a variant of virtual synchronous machine (VSM) applied to the multiparallel inverter system (MPIS). It takes on the good qualities of VSM control, such as offering inertia, voltage support, the ability to operate in standalone mode, and strong performance in weaker grids. Moreover, this concept boasts swift current set-point tracking abilities and enhanced synchronization properties. Integration of the P2G system involves an MPIS that transforms ac power from renewable sources into usable dc power, along with an electrolysis device. The later utilizes dc power source to generate hydrogen and oxygen by decomposing water. This integration strategically prevents grid-induced overvoltage or undervoltage from affecting the electrolysis device. This protects it from malfunctions or damage while keeping the voltage and frequency within the normal range. The efficacy of the proposed control method is rigorously substantiated through analytical models, time-domain simulations, and experimental validation in real-world applications. This comprehensive validation process underscores its viability and robustness in ensuring grid stability while facilitating efficient P2G conversion operations.

This study presents a sizing methodology in the frame of the multidisciplinary design of interior permanent magnet synchronous machines. The proposed approach targets at obtaining an initial electromagnetic design of the machine, including diameters, axial length, rotor barrier shape, stator slot geometry as well as the winding layout. The analytical design workflow consists of an iterative sizing procedure based on a robust geometric model, consistent equations, and no correction factors. The process is carried out starting from very basic design parameters such as rated voltage, torque, and magnetic material properties. The modular structure of the proposed design algorithm can be easily integrated with optimization routines obtaining a final optimized design, which contemplates various multiobjective constraints.

The modular structure of the proposed design algorithm can be easily integrated with optimization routines obtaining a final optimized design, which contemplates various multiobjective constraints.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"5 ","pages":"283-299"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10598368","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141720459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
