This paper develops an optimal control method to regulate the grid current of a grid-connected inverter with an LCL filter. The developed method follows linear output regulation theory which is able to achieve asymptotic tracking and disturbance rejection. Both state-feedback and dynamic output-feedback trackers are designed. The suboptimality of the system in closed-loop with the designed controller is rigorously analyzed. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper discusses a design methodology for high power density converter design. The ideas are applicable to any topology and any switching technology. Particular attention is paid to the DC-link capacitors, as they are a regular point of failure and take up a sizeable portion of the volume in converters. In moving to wide-bandgap devices, smaller and more reliable film capacitors can be used by switching faster, thereby increasing the power density. A prototype inverter capable of switching 30kW is built using the discussed ideas and low power experiments show good correlation between the estimated and measured efficiency. A power density of 34kW/L is achieved under rated conditions when switching at 100kHz.

This paper presents an innovative and simple approach of controlling a three-phase boost-type rectifier without using an output DC link voltage sensor, whose information is one of the most importantly governing factor of stability and regulation of the converter. Though all the traditional PFC control techniques require the feedback signals from input voltage, input current and output voltage sensors to ensure the stability of the converter, reducing a DC voltage sensor is theoretically feasible and implementable without affecting stability of the system, as proposed in this manuscript. The proposed control method incorporates the prediction of the output voltage from the fluctuations of other state variables and preceding switching state information from converter dynamics. In order to validate and perform a proof-of-concept verification to the proposed control strategy, a 2 kW three-phase boost PFC prototype is designed and developed. The experimental results show that an input power factor of 0.995, a total harmonic distortion (THD) as low as 2.1%, a conversion efficiency of 97.8% and a tightly regulated DC link voltage with 1% ripple can be achieved.

This paper discusses and implements a control strategy for a six-phase interleaved bidirectional dc-dc converter for a battery system for an HEV/EV application. First, basic control strategies of dc-dc converters are reviewed for interleaving and for bidirectional operation. Then, the two-loop average mode current control (AVGCCM) is used along with a unified control strategy for the bidirectional operation. A single unified controller is implemented for bidirectional operation along with active rectification for eliminating the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Both, techniques are analyzed in simulation and tested on a 5kW experimental setup.

A voltage Balancing Control (BC) for the input voltage of a 3-level Neutral Point Clamped (3L-NPC) inverter is proposed. For renewable energy injection to AC grid, two independent sources are connected to the 3L-NPC via boost converters. The proposed BC allows independent MPPT for each source in a Distributed-MPPT (DMPPT). It is well known that the DMPPT offers 6.9-11.1% improvements in annual energy compared to a Centralized-MPPT (CMPPT). The stability of the proposed BC is analyzed and its effectiveness is validated by simulations and experimental results.

Accurate modeling of batteries has an important and challenging role in battery management systems. In this paper, dynamics of a Li-Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) cell are simulated using an electro-chemical model. This model was obtained by simplifying a full-order electro-chemical model into the single particle model. In the single particle model the diffusion of lithium inside each electrode is modeled assuming that each electrode is a single particle. This model is then parameterized using input-output data captured from a battery test setup and by applying the genetic algorithm for optimization. The genetic algorithm calculates numeric values of parameters by minimizing the error that is the difference between the measured terminal voltage and simulated one obtained by the electro-chemical model. Dynamics of the (LiFePO4) cell are then investigated in order to determine the state of charge (SOC) of the cell over time.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel approach for modeling and studying an internal short circuit for interior permanent magnet machines. It is first necessary to develop an understanding of how the flux linkage in the machine behaves under an internal short circuit. This will enable the model of the machine to be developed into two parts. The first part corresponds to the expected model of a healthy machine, with disturbances coming from the second part. The second part involves all of the short-circuited turns fed by the currents of the machine. This form of the model opens the possibility to study the dynamics of the machine under short circuit conditions. The model also offers opportunities to develop failure detection techniques, being able to compensate the disturbances from the shorted turns in the windings.

The limited battery capacity of Electric vehicles (EVs), and consequently limited cruising range, hinders their widespread adoption. This paper proposes a solution to the problem of optimal energy/time routing under battery constraints. A multi-criteria path-finding algorithm, A*, is proposed to function in two modes. The first is an energy mode to solve the problem of energy-optimal routing under battery constraints. This mode computes the most energy-efficient route from a source to a destination, thus extending the cruising range of the battery. The second is a travel-time mode to compute the time-optimal route under the battery constraints. The multi-criteria model aims to use the modes to strike a balance between energy consumption and travel time, so as to satisfy the user constraints and needs. This research reports simulation work conducted to test and validate the proposed model under various driving conditions.

This paper presents the development of a detailed simulation model for emergency scenario analysis in rail passenger train. The train DC auxiliary system architecture, the battery characteristics and the load profile under emergency conditions are important to be considered during these analyses. The distribution voltage drops as well as the coupling between the battery voltage variation, the load current profile, and the battery discharge rate at any instant are considered using time-domain simulation methodology. Model development and a train emergency scenario are presented with a focus on battery electrical sizing, and emergency requirements compliancy.

Due to the nonlinearity of the flux-linkage profiles of the interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM), the conventional motor model cannot be used for both maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control and torque estimation. This paper proposes a nonlinear flux-linkage model for IPMSM with eight coefficients to fit the real d-axis flux-linkage, q-axis flux-linkage, MTPA, and torque. The corresponding torque equation and MTPA condition are presented. The factors in the proposed model can be obtained by solving an optimization problem with the limited information from the machine instead of the measurement throughout the map. The comparison of the characteristics between the proposed algorithm and FEA data is illustrated.
