Inductance characteristics play an important role in the output torque of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) whereas the windings connection form affects the mutual coupling between phases. According to the magnetic polarity models, dual-channel switched reluctance machine (DCSRM) with NNNSSSNNNSSS winding polarity is defined as DCSRMI, DCSRM with NSNSNSNSNSNS is defined as DCSRM2 and DCSRM with NNSSNNSSNNSS is defined as DCSRM3. Previous papers show that DCSRMs with different winding connections can offer different average torque, copper loss, iron loss and efficiency, but the work that different winding connections of DCSRMs running with channel fault is rarely carried out. This paper presents comparative studies of dynamic performance and magnetic characteristics of DCSRMs running with channel fault whereas only the winding connection type that differs. The frozen permeability method is adopted to compute static inductance and torque characteristics and to analyze the magnetic characteristics of the different winding connection models. The results show that the connection type of DCSRM3 can obviously enhance the average torque and minimize the torque ripple under the condition of channel fault. However the iron loss of DCSRM3 is highest among the three types under dual-channel excitation condition, which lowers the overall efficiency. By simulation analyses, a novel four-phase 16/12-poles fault-tolerant DCSRM called even-phase fault tolerance has been proposed. No matter in dual-channel excitation nor in single-channel excitation operation conditions, the performance of this even-phase DCSRM can be the best.

In this paper, optimal operational scheduling in smart microgrids in conjunction with hourly reconfiguration is investigated. The optimization problem has the objective function of minimizing total costs including the total loss, cost of bilateral contracts with fuel cell and photovoltaic owners, switching cost, and cost of exchanged power with wholesale market. To prevent the aged and risky switches from frequent switching actions over a short-term scheduling, a new index for switching action based on the remotely-controlled switch (RCS) ages and critical locations in the network is defined. The proposed optimization model is non-convex and non-linear, which is transformed into a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem to be solvable with conventional solvers. The satisfactory performance of the proposed model is demonstrated on the 84-bus Taiwan power company system.

This paper presents a Zero-Voltage-Detector (ZVD) circuit for buck converters working in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). A novel comparator with pre-amplification property is proposed to provide fast sensing and comparison to optimize the switching timing of power transistors, hence minimizing the power losses caused by the reverse inductor current. The proposed DCM buck converter is fabricated using 0.18um CMOS technology with a chip area of 0.9mm 2. The simulated sensing delay of the proposed ZVD is only about 6ns. It achieves $gt 85$% power efficiency for load currents of $gt 10$ mA when the input and output voltages are 3.3V and 2.4V respectively.

This paper presents a multi-channel, current-balancing coordinated light-emitting diode (LED) driver that employs a primary buck converter and a secondary two-stage CLL resonant-based inverter. The proposed LED driver is engineered with a switch-mode voltage regulator that maintains high power dissipation, controls current-carrying capacities respecting to load using half-bridge inverter coupled to a CLL resonant tank, and pose operating cycle uniformity at multiple current source outputs by cascaded balance capacitor-based transformers with voltage-doubler architectures. Conjointly, utilization of high switching frequency (282.7kHz) is endorsed to curtail current ripple deviations and stimulate balanced current distribution based on load capacities. Using PSIM simulation environment, the proposed multi-channel LED driver is evaluated to view its performance against dynamic installation of multi-stringed LEDs connected at variegated capacities. Succeedingly, development of a hardware prototype is annexed. The acquired simulation and hardware tests’ results have validated optimal coordination of current distributions for unbalanced loads (LEDs) across multiple channels.

This paper presents a design procedure for a digital Proportional-Resonant (PR) current controller in a Grid Connected Inverter (GCI). The procedure describes a systematic list of how to compute the proportional and resonant gains as well as the coefficients for the digital resonant path. The main contribution of the design procedure is to facilitate and to support researchers who are designing GCI with current control strategies in a digital environment. The paper also presents a frequency domain analysis of a designed digital PR controller. The fictitious w-domain is used in such analysis. A case study shows the efficacy of GCI with a digital PR current controller designed based on the proposed procedure. Later, the paper discusses that the proposed procedure is valid also for digital PR controller with multiple resonant paths.

In this paper, a novel CLTCL multi-resonant soft-switching DC-DC converter is proposed. It employs the dual transformers architecture, whose secondary sides are connected in parallel. The resonant tank contains multiple resonant components of capacitors and inductors. Through the appropriate parameter design, the converter can transmit the 1st and the 3rd harmonic active power simultaneously. Consequently, the utilization rate of the resonant current and high efficient conversion are both guaranteed. Widely adjustable DC voltage gain range is also achieved within a narrow frequency range. Besides, all the power switches obtain the turn-on zero-voltage-switching (ZVS), while the diodes attain the turn-on and turn-off zero-current-switching (ZCS) or quasi ZCS (Q-ZCS). To verify the feasibility of the converter, a 500W prototype is built and tested. The proposed converter is able to maintain relatively high efficiency (around 95%) among a wide load range. The highest efficiency reaches 95.4% at 300W.

The application of multi-port DC converters in DC microgrids (MGs) can effectively improve the integration and reliability of the system. This paper proposes an isolated three-port converter (TPC) with common low-voltage DC bus which is suitable for DC MGs. The proposed TPC is able to achieve bidirectional power transmission between the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side through the dual active bridge (DAB), while the power conversion of the low-voltage side is consisted of buck-boost converters. The number of power devices of the TPC is reduced by multiplex use of the power devices in the DAB. Meanwhile, interleaved structure is employed to reduce the current ripple at one port on low-voltage side. This paper analyzes the equivalent circuit model of the proposed TPC, then typical operating modes and key waveforms of the converter are presented. The phase-shifting control with duty-cycle adjustment method is adopted to realize bidirectional power transmission among the three ports. Finally, the power transmission characteristics of the TPC are verified by simulation and experimental studies, and the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified accordingly.

In this paper, an active shaping method of the capacitor voltage for a cascaded H-bridge (CHB) Iow-capacitance static synchronous compensator (LC-StatCom) is introduced. The traditional LC-StatCom is able to operate with large capacitor voltage ripples when it is operating with rated current. However, as the current is reduced below rated current, voltage ripple on the capacitors decreases. Decreasing the current therefore removes the advantages of the LC-StatCom such as better current quality and reduced switching losses. The active shaping method aims to keep consistent large voltage ripple on the capacitor using a simple boost converter cell to inject an appropriate auxiliary capacitor current. Simulation results are provided to confirm the performance of the proposed CHB-StatCom system.

Microgrids provide an effective way to increase renewable energy (RE) penetration level in the power network. The cooperation of renewable microsources, energy storage systems (ESSs) and conventional dispatchable microsources is an important issue in the operation of an islanded microgrid. In this paper, the designed power sharing scheme aims to maximize renewable penetration level by giving RE the priority of power supply. This requires RE to be able to regulate grid voltage rather than only operating under power control mode (PCM) in the conventional way. Droop control strategy is modified to support a microsource operating under both voltage control mode (VCM) and PCM, and switching between both modes automatically. It also enables “peer to peer” and “plug and play” operation of a microgrid. Meanwhile, the characteristics of power sources (photovoltaic and batteries) are considered. DC/DC converter controller is proposed correspondingly with the aim of keeping the system stable. Simulations have been conducted to verify its effectiveness.

This paper presents thermal modelling of a Lithium-ion battery module designed to power a fully electric ferry. The operation requirement is to recharge the battery energy storage system within 13 minutes. This presents a thermal management problem with the battery generating excessive heat whilst charging at a rate of 3.45C. To mitigate this problem the battery was analyzed using the ANSYS Fluent software under various cooling methods applied. The results of this analysis revealed that the temperature of the battery can be maintained in the optimal range using an air cooling system.
