The three‐level Vienna rectifier is widely used in industrial applications, such as electric vehicle charging systems and telecommunication power systems. Discontinuous pulse width modulation (DPWM) is widely used in three‐level AC/DC converters due to its features of switching loss minimization. However, the problems of neutral‐point voltage ripple, current zero‐crossing distortion, and switching losses are mutually coupled for the Vienna rectifier. To address these issues, a hybrid carrier‐based discontinuous pulse width modulation (HCB‐DPWM) with reduced neutral‐point (NP) voltage ripple and current distortion is proposed. First, the /6 clamping period of the conventional DPWM is divided into three‐type clamping intervals, which reduce NP voltage ripple with shortened clamping period. Then, the elimination of current distortion around the current zero‐crossing point and the switching loss reduction are investigated. The implementation of the proposed HCB‐DPWM is given in detail. Finally, the simulation and experimental results of the Vienna rectifier are presented to validate the performance that the proposed HCB‐DPWM can eliminate current zero‐crossing distortion and reduce neutral‐point voltage ripple with different modulation indices.

SummaryDigital MemComputing machines (DMMs), which employ nonlinear dynamical systems with memory (time non‐locality), have proven to be a robust and scalable unconventional computing approach for solving a wide variety of combinatorial optimization problems. However, most of the research so far has focused on the numerical simulations of the equations of motion of DMMs. This inevitably subjects time to discretization, which brings its own (numerical) issues that would be otherwise absent in actual physical systems operating in continuous time. Although hardware realizations of DMMs have been previously suggested, their implementation would require materials and devices that are not so easy to integrate with traditional electronics. Addressing this, our study introduces a novel hardware design for DMMs, utilizing readily available electronic components. This approach not only significantly boosts computational speed compared to current models but also exhibits remarkable robustness against additive noise. Crucially, it circumvents the limitations imposed by numerical noise, ensuring enhanced stability and reliability during extended operations. This paves a new path for tackling increasingly complex problems, leveraging the inherent advantages of DMMs in a more practical and accessible framework.

This paper proposes a common mode voltage (CMV) reduction method for power full‐bridge LLC converter. A detailed derivation of asymmetrical CMV source in energy transmission (ET) and dead time resonance (DR) is presented, and a common mode (CM) equivalent circuit model considering stray parameters of power devices and transformer for the high‐voltage power LLC converter is constructed. This study assesses the influence of asymmetric junction capacitances of power devices and stray capacitances of transformer on both the CMV source and the CM model. It also examines the impact of power level on the constituent elements of the CMV source. Additionally, a theory of asymmetric CMV source cancellation is deduced based on the nonideal power LLC converter, where asymmetric noise source and coupling pathway are taken into account, which helps mitigate it through matching circuit structure without extra components. Finally, a 30 kHz 2 × 50 kW prototype is constructed and validated to reduce the CMV where the experiments show that the output CMV within high‐frequency band could be reduced by 12.15 dB at rated operating conditions.

The dual‐load magnetic coupled resonance wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has the advantages of integrated conversion function, higher power density, and higher energy utilization rate. Reasonable coil structure selection and design is a challenge in the dual load WPT system. This article conducts electromagnetic analysis on three types of coil structures: circular–circular, rectangular–circular, and rectangular–rectangular, and uses Ansys Maxwell software to analyze and compare the magnetic field distribution intensity and transmission characteristics of each structure when the coil is offset. The analysis results showed that the rectangular–rectangular coils have stronger offset characteristics. Therefore, the double‐load MCR‐WPT system ultimately adopts the rectangular–rectangular coil structure. The transmitting and receiving coils of the WPT system were wound and tested, and the dual‐load WPT system with rectangular–rectangular coupling coil structures are constructed for experimental verification.

SummaryGenerating a quadrature signal in a single‐phase system using a second‐order generalized integrator (SOGI) requires accurate frequency information. The standard SOGI phase‐locked loop (PLL) includes frequency feedback to the SOGI. However, during grid abnormalities such as voltage sag/swell and phase angle jumps, the SOGI‐PLL faces frequency disturbances that propagate to the phase detector (PD) and affects the quadrature signal generator (QSG). Furthermore, the SOGI‐PLL having two loops dependent on each other creates loop coupling phenomena; either a change in phase or frequency affects each other. SOGI‐PLL is tuning sensitive, as the SOGI block has a gain that needs to be adjusted, increases the complexity, and affects the performance of the system. There is a trade‐off between SOGI gain and PLL parameters that needs to be considered for adequate parameter design to provide accurate grid synchronization while maintaining the stability of the system. To attain better performance, researchers have proposed derivative‐based PLL (DPLL). The conventional DPLL faces challenges to noise and harmonics amplification. This paper presents an improved DPLL for single‐phase grid synchronization under adverse grid conditions. The improved derivative‐based PLL (IDPLL) comprises two improved derivative‐based quadrature signal generator (IDQSG) blocks to extract the phase‐error information for accurately estimating phase and frequency. The detailed mathematical modeling and bode plot for the IDQSG and IDPLL are presented. The proposed IDQSG eliminates the requirement of gain tuning, hence reducing complexity. Moreover, there is no interdependent loop in the IDPLL, which significantly improves the dynamic performance. A hardware setup is developed to evaluate the performance of the system in real‐time. The experimental results are obtained using an field programmable gate array (FPGA)‐based controller.

SummaryIn this paper, an asymmetric pulse frequency modulation (APFM) is applied to the full‐bridge series resonant converter with a secondary LC resonant tank. Different from the traditional PFM, the upper and lower switches have complementary gate drivers and the lower switches have constant on time of half‐resonant period in this paper. Thanks to the resonant tank moved to the secondary side with the adopted APFM, the maximum magnetic flux density Bm of a high‐frequency transformer (HFT) is only concerned with the fixed resonant frequency rather than the variable switching frequency. Hence, the switching frequency can be widely regulated, as well as the voltage gain. Furthermore, the circulating current flowing back to the input voltage source in the traditional LC series resonant converter can be eliminated by the APFM, leading to a low resonant current peak value. The operation principles and characteristics of the adopted method are analyzed in detail. Finally, a 500 W/70–120 V to 300 V/21–180 kHz prototype is built, and the experimental results verified the theoretical analysis well.

A new multiport DC–AC converter is proposed for standalone and off‐grid tied applications. The configuration converts power from DC to AC form in a single stage with suitable voltage gain. To increase the certainty of supporting power, the converter is designed to operate in four modes, including battery‐alone mode. The other advantage of the presented work is supplying the output power during unbalanced voltage conditions of the input ports. The advanced features of the converter for being used in standalone applications are related to the suitable placement and structure of the bidirectional port. In addition, the configuration is designed in a way to contain appropriate structural properties such as the existence of a common ground between the DC section and inverter, continuity of input currents, configured by an acceptable number of components, and low‐voltage stress on the DC–DC section's switches. Furthermore, it has an impedance network to protect the inverter's switches in a shoot‐through state. To confirm the converter advantages from the mentioned points of view, it has been compared with similar configurations. A prototype rated at 110 V is prepared to demonstrate the advantages of the converter performance per different conditions. The results of the steady‐state and transient experiments validate the suitability of the presented converter.

In building a smarter and more flexible low‐carbon smart grid system, alternating current (AC) microgrids using virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology are viewed as a key link in integrating distributed renewable energy access into the main grid. Given that renewable energy sources (such as solar, hydroenergy, and wind) do not have sufficient capacity for reactive power when not available, AC microgrids face challenges in maintaining stable operation. In order to overcome this difficulty, it is hoped that digging deeper and applying more system information can significantly improve the overall performance of the microgrid. This paper proposes a novel method based on macroscopic state dynamic modeling. This method expands the understanding of the inherent rational control mechanism within the microgrid, enabling the overall control objective of the microgrid to be expressed in a more abstract and direct manner. Additionally, by implementing additional convergence constraint conditions on the macroscopic state dynamics, such as based on some optimality criteria, a set of macroscopic state controllers can be obtained to meet specific performance indicators. Theoretical analysis combined with simulation validation demonstrate the effectiveness of this macroscopic state based control strategy. It proves that when meeting the predefined design requirements, the designed controller can enhance the transient response of microgrids in practical applications, thus supporting higher rate of renewable energy access and promoting the development of the smart grid.
