Grid forming control (GFM) based wind farms can support the safe and stable operation of power systems dominated by renewable energy. However, GFM based Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs) have difficulties in riding through serious voltage faults. And their grid forming ability is restricted by the power reserve and capacity of the converter. This paper proposes a reconfigured converter architecture for DFIG with SMES integrated into its DC bus. During normal operation, DFIG adopts the GFM strategy for primary frequency regulation. If the frequency modulation capacity of DFIG is inadequate, SMES outputs active power through an energy storage side converter (ESC) to keep the frequency within the specified safety range. When voltage faults occur, SMES outputs dynamic reactive current to support voltage recovery through ESC. The simulation results show that the proposed architecture and strategy can effectively enhance the GFM and voltage ride-through capability of DFIG.

Multilevel inverters (MLIs) have significantly improved the overall performance, dependability and efficiency of the renewable energy system. Moreover, these can be easily integrated with the superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems. Maintaining the power qualities of these MLIs is always marked as a major research concern which can be heavily impacted by the pulse width modulation (PWM) strategies. An improved voltage balancing discontinuous PWM (DPWM) scheme is suggested in this work for the single-phase grid-tied 5-level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter, which can significantly mitigate the fluctuation of the dc-link capacitor voltages as well as the switching losses of the power IGBTs. The reduction in switching losses will give lower thermal stress to the power devices. The proposed DPWM scheme is compared with other existing DPWM schemes for proving its effectiveness. The simulation of the entire system is performed by using MATLAB Simulink and PLECS simulation platform. A lower scale prototype is also constructed in the laboratory.

This paper studies a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) incorporating battery and superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) for the robustness increase of a solid-state transformer (SST), which conducts the voltage conversion and power exchange between different power networks. Firstly, the topological structure and control mode of the SST are stated. Then, to address the SST's voltage stability issue caused by power disturbances, a fuzzy control scheme is presented to adjust the power response of the HESS. Based on the differences in power time scale and charge/discharge behaviors, the proper power allocation law is obtained for the SMES and the battery. In addition, a schematic design of a 10 H/200 A SMES magnet is implemented. The parameters of the HTS magnet, encompassing critical current level, tape length, and magnetic field strength, are refined. Using the MATLAB platform, the performance validation of the SMES-battery in a 10 kV/ 1 kV SST is done. The simulation results affirm the credibility of the SMES-battery in maintaining the power balance and boosting the bus voltage stability of the SST under varying degrees of disturbance. The voltage fluctuations in the DC bus are effectively limited, and the DC voltage promptly returns to a steady state, while the state of charge (SoC) of the SMES-battery is within favorable levels.

High-temperature superconducting (HTS) inductors have the advantages of low loss, low charging power, and long-term energy storage, making them very suitable for high-power inductive pulse power supplies (IPPS) for continuous electromagnetic launch (EML). However, driving the rail type EML requires high amplitude and a certain pulse width of the current pulse. The current inductive pulse power supply modes are difficult to meet this requirement. For this issue, this paper proposes a new multi-module IPPS circuit based on high-temperature superconducting pulse power transformers (HTSPPT). The proposed pulse power supply consists of three groups of HTSPPTs, each group consisting of 12 HTSPPTs forming a circular structure. By delaying parallel discharge of three sets of HTSPPT modules, high amplitude and wide pulse width current pulses can be generated. The feasibility of this power supply mode was preliminarily verified through simulation in the paper.

With the gradual increase in high capacity doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) in recent years, turn-to-turn short-circuit (TTSC) faults have become a greater threat. Notably, owing to the absence of an effective fault model, the specific TTSC fault behaviors of DFIGs remain to be clarified. This study proposes a comprehensive field–circuit coupling model of stator TTSC faults inside a DFIG, which captures a two-way interaction between the circuit and field domains. Meanwhile, the control strategy for DFIG back-to-back converters is also considered in this computational model. Moreover, the nonlinear resistance of the fault arc is simultaneously calculated by using a black box model in the circuit domain. A 1.5 MW DFIG with its control system was modeled and simulated to suffer a series of TTSC faults. Fault features, including the distributions of magnetic flux density, short-circuit currents, and terminal behaviors, were revealed, and the influencing factors regarding the fault types, severities and locations were discussed. The proposed comprehensive model and the derived characteristic signatures provide insights into the development of sensitive and reliable relay protection schemes for TTSC faults in DFIGs and are expected to promote subsequent research on fault detection and diagnosis in electric machinery controlled by power electronics.

Dissolved gas analysis in oil is an effective method for early fault diagnosis of transformers. Predicting future concentrations of characteristic gases can aid maintenance personnel in assessing the operational trends of transformers, thereby ensuring stable performance. To address the challenge of predicting dissolved gas content caused by inherent nonlinearity and non-stationarity, this paper proposes an ensemble empirical mode decomposition-cuckoo search-support vector regression (EEMD-CS-SVR) combined prediction model, utilizing ensemble empirical mode decomposition and support vector regression optimized by the cuckoo search algorithm. Firstly, EEMD is used to decompose the original dissolved gas content time series into a set of stationary modal components. Subsequently, SVR, known for its strong predictive performance, is employed to predict each modal component separately. Finally, CS is applied for global search to optimize and select SVR parameters, with the predicted dissolved gas content results being overlaid and reconstructed. Simulation experiments on H 2
