A single-stage three-phase current source inverter (CSI) using in photovoltaic grid-connected (PVGC) system is investigated. A dynamic predictive optimal control (DPOC) strategy for grid current is presented. In this method, based on a predictive model of grid current and real-time dynamic optimization cost function, an optimal control action for the next sampling interval is achieved in advance. In addition, a perturbing resistance maximum power point tracking (PR-MPPT) algorithm is proposed for the CSI PVGC system. The algorithm is implemented by perturbing resistance instead of perturbing current or voltage in conventional perturbation and observation (P&O) MPPT method. The PR-MPPT algorithm can solve the issues of current instability and power dropping instantly at the right side of maximum power point (MPP) of P-I curves in CSI PVGC system. With the proposed methods, the CSI PVGC system achieves the features of simple circuit, good stability and fast dynamic response and MPPT function. Experimental results validate the feasibility of the proposed work.

Piezoelectric transformers have been used successfully in DC/AC or DC/DC converter. However, the use of piezoelectric transformers presents a major challenges for power electronic design: the capacitive nature of such devices makes their use delicate as the instantaneous power may be much greater than the average effective power. Due to this challenge, conventional drive circuits, especially inductor, become too bulky. This work describes a converter suitable to drive piezoelectric transformer with low inductor. The proposed converter is a DC/AC structure, which is capable of producing a unipolar square voltage. The circuit provides for recovery of the energy stored on the clamped capacitance back to the primary power supply when the transformer is de-energized. In our design, an auxiliary shunt circuits are connected to the input terminal. The proposed structure of both theoretical and experimental validations has demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed technique for recovery energy.

The wheelchair motion has propulsion and rotation components and the x-y axis signals of the joystick also can be expressed as the control command of these components. Using this phenomenon, the torque distribution method of two driving wheels and the model following control algorithm based on the propulsion and the rotation model of the electric wheelchair is proposed. The proposed torque distribution method gives smooth and precise driving performance on the land because the torque references of each wheel are continuous and sinusoidal according to the joystick position. Moreover, comfortable control performance can be obtained by adjusting the sensitivity coefficients of the joystick. On the various road conditions, it is possible to move safely because the model following controller gives the compensated torque to each wheel to track the model speed and direction even if one wheel is fixed by an obstacle. The feasibility of the proposed safe driving algorithm is verified through digital simulations.

In this paper, the design approach for the power conversion stage of typical medium voltage (3.3kV to 4.16kV), high power (6-10MW) multi-level converters like those used in offshore wind turbine systems is investigated and evaluated. The back-to-back AC-DC-AC multi-level power conversion stage for offshore wind turbines is usually driven by a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) for power ratings of the order of 6-10MW. The design approach, primarily relying on a comprehensive simulation model developed, aims to establish the power processing capability of the power conversion stage under the constraints of the thermal limits of the medium voltage power semiconductor devices, the power quality delivered to the grid (for power factor requirements of 0.9 to unity at the grid) and the overall efficiency. Based on the developed controls for the line-side and the generator-side converter, an instantaneous loss model of the semiconductor devices allows estimation of the instantaneous junction temperatures based on thermal models for the devices. Although the paper provides an overview of the different medium voltage power semiconductor devices, the analysis provided focusses primarily on the Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT). The maximum switching frequencies achievable at the power levels of 6-10MW is then determined based on the thermal constraints. Appropriate selection of the filter elements for the determined switching frequencies then enables quantification of the power quality and the overall system efficiency of the power conversion stage. The achievable switching frequencies at the different power levels of the line-side and the generator-side converters is finally established, along with the achievable power quality and efficiencies at the different operating points.

Permanent magnet biasing, is a known technique for increasing the energy storage capability of inductors operating in DC applications. The opposing flux introduced by a permanent magnet will extend the saturation flux limit of a given magnetic material. When full biasing of the core is achieved, the effective saturation current limit of a given inductor is doubled. This results in a smaller requirement in number of turns and area cross-section, allowing for smaller and/or more efficient inductors. By adding some switching elements, the benefits of biased inductors can also be used in AC applications. This paper presents a review of the scientific literature on biased hybrid inductors and the evolution of the used magnets and cores configurations. A recently developed biasing configuration, the saturation-gap, will also be analyzed and the design parameter will be identified using finite element software. The simulation results will be compared with empirical laboratory measurements on physical units.

This paper presents a lumped parameter model describing the electromagnetic behavior of Transverse Flux Reluctance Machines. Current dynamics and torque generation are obtained utilizing varying magnetic conductivities of the air gap along the rotor perimeter. The model parameters are identified experimentally using a high accuracy current control for sinusoidal reference currents. A low torque ripple mode of operation is proposed.

Online diagnostics for monitoring of battery cells in a battery pack is necessary in order to determine the state of the battery pack, like its age and safe operation. It could also provide the possibility to adjust the operation strategy of the battery management system and the load to increase the battery lifetime and safety. Impedance spectroscopy is a well-known measurement technique for electrochemical systems, such as a battery half-cell. Once the method is implemented in the battery management system and performed online during operation it could provide a monitoring system for the whole pack. Current solutions are either inaccurate or too big, expensive and energy inefficient. The presented approach proposes a dual use of the battery charger which incorporates a switched mode amplifier to generate the stimuli current necessary to perform an electro impedance spectroscopy. A suitable control is designed to overcome the non-linearities and instabilities introduced by the output filter and the current crossover effects of the electronic switches. This inexpensive, energy efficient technology could allow impedance monitoring of every cell in the battery pack and make a better prediction of the state of the battery possible.

An experimental analysis of the behavior under short-circuit conditions of three different Silicon Carbide (SiC) 1200 V power devices is presented. It is found that all devices take up a substantial voltage, which is favorable for detection of short-circuits. A suitable method for short-circuit detection without any comparator is demonstrated. A SiC JFET driver with an integrated short-circuit protection (SCP) is presented where a short-circuit detection is added to a conventional driver design in a simple way. Experimental tests of the SCP driver operating under short-circuit condition and under normal operation are performed successfully.
