Conventional sliding-mode observer (SMO)-based grid-voltage observation methods often require a low-pass filter (LPF) to remove high-frequency sliding-mode noise. However, a complicated phase- and amplitude-compensation method, which is highly sensitive to the DC-offset, is required. A frequency-adaptive dual second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) can be used to replace the LPF, eliminating the compensation link and the effects of the DC-offset; however, strong coupling is introduced between the front-end SOGI block and back-end phase-locked loop (PLL) block, thereby reducing the dynamic performance. To solve this problem, this study proposes an SMO-based grid-voltage observation method with a frequency-fixed dual SOGI and cross-compensated PLL that can eliminate the frequency coupling between the front-end SOGI block and back-end PLL blocks, thereby increasing its dynamic performance. In this study, the phase and amplitude are compensated simultaneously using the proposed cross-compensation method, achieving an accurate observation of the grid voltage under off-nominal frequencies. An analysis of the small-signal model theoretically verified that the proposed method has good dynamic performance. Finally, the superiority of the proposed method is verified through comparative experiments.

Droop-controlled voltage-source converters (VSCs) can provide frequency and voltage support to power grids. However, during a grid fault, VSCs may experience transient instability, which can be significantly affected by both the control parameters and fault conditions. This mechanism has not been fully elucidated in previous studies. In particular, grid-voltage faults are commonly accompanied by a grid voltage phase-angle jump (VPAJ), which is typically ignored in the evaluation of the transient stability of VSCs. To address this issue, this study comprehensively assesses the impact of the VPAJ and key control parameters on the transient characteristics of VSCs. Furthermore, the critical clearing angle and critical clearing time are quantitatively calculated to define the transient stability boundary. In addition, a transient stability-enhancement control method that considers the transient stability constraints is proposed. Finally, simulations and experimental tests are conducted to validate both the theoretical analysis and proposed method.

Capacitor voltage imbalance in four-level (4L) neutral-point clamped (NPC) converters is a direct factor hindering their application. In particular, when they are applied in motor drives, space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) is a more popular scheme, but conventional 4L SVPWM cannot achieve the voltage balancing control of DC-link capacitors, is complex to implement, and requires costly computation. A hybrid modulation method with capacitor voltage-balancing control for 4L NPC converters is proposed. The proposed method is achieved using three-level (3L) SVPWM and two-level (2L) carrier-based pulse-width modulation (CPWM) based on the concept of “4L=3L+2L”. Thus, it can be easily implemented on a digital chip because the modulation process is nearly identical to that of 3L SVPWM without the more cumbersome 4L SVPWM algorithm. Meanwhile, any proven optimization scheme of 3L SVPWM can be directly applied to the proposed method to further improve performance. Simulation and experimental results for a 4L active NPC converter demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A dynamic reconfiguration method for photovoltaic (PV) arrays based on an improved dung beetle algorithm (IDBO) to address the issue of PV array mismatch loss caused by partial shading conditions (PSCs) is proposed. To establish the output power-current (P-I) segmentation function for the total-cross-tied (TCT) PV array and the constraint function for the electrical switches, the IDBO algorithm was used to optimize both the P-I segmentation function and the electrical switch constraint function. IDBO is compared with algorithm-free reconfiguration and five other heuristic algorithms using two evaluation criteria: mismatch loss and power enhancement percentage, across six shading scenarios for 6×6 PV arrays. The irradiation distribution of PV arrays reconfigured by IDBO is also presented. The results show that IDBO effectively increases the output power of PV arrays and reduces mismatch loss. The output PV curves tend to exhibit a single peak, and the reconstruction results are superior to those obtained with the other methods.

Efficient assessment of battery degradation is important to effectively utilize and maintain battery management systems. This study introduces an innovative residual convolutional network (RCN)-gated recurrent unit (GRU) model to accurately assess health of lithium-ion batteries on multiple time scales. The model employs a soft parameter-sharing mechanism to identify both short-and long-term degradation patterns. The continuously looped $Q(V), T(V), frac{mathrm{d}Q}{mathrm{d}V}$
