Effah, Francis Boafo. "Three-level Z-source hybrid direct AC-AC power converter topology." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2014. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/14007/.
Full textAbstract:
Voltage source inverter (VSI) is the traditional power converter used to provide variable voltage and frequency from a fixed voltage supply for adjustable speed drive and many other applications. However, the maximum ac output voltage that can be synthesized by a VSI is limited to the available dc-link voltage. With its unique structure, the Z-source inverter can utilise shoot-through states to boost the output voltage and provides an attractive single-stage dc-ac conversion that is able to buck and boost the voltage. For applications with a variable input voltage, this inverter is a very competitive topology. The same concept can equally be extended to the two-stage matrix converter, where a single Z-source network is inserted in its virtual dc-link. The topology formed is, thus, quite straightforward. Its modulation is, however, non-trivial if advantages like voltage buck-boost flexibility, minimum commutation count, ease of implementation, and sinusoidal input and output quantities are to be attained simultaneously. This thesis presents two novel space vector modulation methods for controlling a three-level Z-source neutral point clamped VSI to enable the use of a boost function. The second of the two space vector modulation methods is then adopted and applied to a three-level, two-stage matrix converter with a Z-source network inserted in its virtual dc-link to increase the voltage transfer ratio beyond the intrinsic 86.6\% limit. Simulation results are supported by experimental verification from two laboratory prototype converters.

Significant advances in modern ac/ac power converter technologies and demands
of industries have reached beyond standard ac/ac power converters with voltage-source
inverters fed from diode rectifiers. Power electronics converters have been matured to
stages toward compact realization, increased high-power handling capability, and
improving utility interface. Modern ac/ac power converter topologies with various
control strategies have been introduced for the further improvements, such as matrix
converters, current-fed converters, PWM rectifiers, and active power filters. In this
dissertation, several new converter topologies are proposed in conjunction with
developed control schemes based on the modern ac/ac converters which enhance
performance and solve the drawbacks of conventional converters.
In this study, a new fault-tolerant PWM strategy is first proposed for matrix
converters. The added fault-tolerant scheme would strengthen the matrix converter
technology for aerospace and military applications. A modulation strategy is developed
to reshape output currents for continuous operation, against fault occurrence in matrix
converter drives.
This study designs a hybrid, high-performance ac/ac power converter for high
power applications, based on a high-power load commutated inverter and a mediumpower
voltage source inverter. Natural commutation of the load commutated inverter is
actively controlled by the voltage source inverter. In addition, the developed hybrid
system ensures sinusoidal output current/voltage waveforms and fast dynamic response
in high power areas.
A new topology and control scheme for a six-step current source inverter is
proposed. The proposed topology utilizes a small voltage source inverter, to turn off
main thyristor switches, transfer reactive load energy, and limit peak voltages across
loads. The proposed topology maximizes benefits of the constituent converters: highpower
handling capability of large thyristor-based current source inverters as well as fast
and easy control of small voltage source inverters.
This study analyzes, compares, and evaluates two topologies for unity power
factor and multiple ac/ac power conversions. Theoretical analyses and comparisons of
the two topologies, grounded on mathematical approaches, are presented from the
standpoint of converter kVA ratings, dc-link voltage requirements, switch ratings,
semiconductor losses, and reactive component sizes. Analysis, simulation, and
experimental results are detailed for each proposed topology.

Full textAbstract:
A new concept, the multi level voltage/current reinjection ac/dc conversion, is described in this thesis. Novel voltage and current source converter configurations, based on voltage and current reinjection concepts are proposed. These converter configurations are thoroughly analyzed in their ac and dc system sides. The fundamentals of the reinjection concept is discussed briefly, which lead to the derivation of the ideal reinjection waveform for complete harmonic cancellation and approximations for practical implementation. The concept of multi level voltage reinjection VSC is demonstrated through two types of configurations, based on standard 12-pulse parallel and series connected VSC modified with reinjection bridges and transformers. Firing control strategies and steady state waveform analysis are presented and verified by EMTDC simulations. The multi level current reinjection CSC is also described using two configurations based on standard 12-pulse parallel and series connected CSC modified with associated reinjection circuitry. Firing control strategies and steady state waveform analysis are presented and verified by EMTDC simulations. Taking the advantage of zero current switching in the main bridge valves, achieved through multi level current reinjection, an advanced multi level current reinjection scheme, consisting thyristor main bridges and self-commutated reinjection circuitry is proposed. This hybrid scheme effectively incorporates self-commutated capability into a conventional thyristor converter. The ability of the main bridge valves to commutate without the assistance of a turn-off pulse or line commutating voltage under the zero current condition is explained and verified by EMTDC simulations. Finally, the applications of the MLCR-CSC are discussed in terms of a back to back HVDC link and a long distance HVDC transmission system. The power and control structures and closed loop control strategies are presented. Dynamic simulation is carried out on PSCAD/EMTDC to demonstrate the two systems ability to respond to varying active and reactive power operating conditions.

Full textAbstract:
This work considers current sourced powerelectronic converters. The thesis classifies and presents several new single-phase and three-phase differential-mode current source inverters that evolve from the basic dc-dc converter topologies. The switched, large-signal, and small-signal models of these converters are presented, and used to develop control strategies for the proposed differential-mode inverters, considering their inversion and rectification modes. The viability of each differential mode inverter/rectifier is validated using simulations and experimentation. The performances of different proposed buck, boost, and buck-boost current source inverters are discussed and compared in terms of efficiency, total harmonic distortion, input current ripple, capacitor stresses, and control complexity. Some of the proposed current source inverters offer buck-boost capability (can operate with output voltage less or greater than the input dc voltage), which is suited for grid-connected operation of single-stage three-phase buck-boost inverters. Phase variables and synchronous frame controllers are used to provide satisfactory inverter operation in inversion and rectification modes. The inherent low-order harmonic currents in the input and output of the proposed converters (predominantly, negative sequence 2nd order harmonic) are supressed using PI and PR controllers. Also, interleaved carriers are used to reduce the input current ripple of the three-phase inverters. The proposed converters can operate over a full control range from 0 to unity power factor, with power flow in both directions (unlike the conventional six-pulse current inverter). Additionally, a nonlinear control strategy, sliding mode control, is implemented with to achieve faster dynamic inverter response during faults as well as elimination of dccurrent injection into ac grid. This is necessary during unbalanced operation. Operation of single-phase differential-mode buck-boost inverters is presented, including suppression of the 2nd order harmonic in the input dc current by two methods. In the first, active suppression of the 2nd harmonic uses a power electronic circuit. The second method manipulates the modulating signal in combination with a relatively large capacitor to trap the oscillating power that causes the 2nd order harmonic to appear input dc link current. The two single-phase harmonic suppression approaches are compared.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes a new bidirectional three-phase AC-DC power converter using matrix converter and Z-source inverter topologies. Advantages of the AC-DC matrix converter are the inherently controllable power factor, the tight DC voltage regulation, the wide bandwidth with quick response to load variation, the single-stage buck-voltage AC-to-DC power conversion; advantages of the z-source inverter are the increased reliability by allowing the shoot-through between upper and lower power switches of one inverter leg, insensitivity to DC bus voltage due to the extra freedom of controlling DC-link voltage. The proposed Matrix-Z-source converter (MZC) marries up both advantages of AC-DC matrix converter and Z-source inverter. It can achieve voltage-boost DC-AC inversion capable of variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) AC output; it can achieve voltage-buck AC-DC rectification capable of inherent control over AC current phase angle and DC output regulation with a (VVVF) AC source supply. Both foresaid performance in DC-AC inversion and AC-DC rectification can be implemented in a simple open-loop control manner. Three constraints of VSI, in the bidirectional AC-DC power conversion, are the peak AC voltages are always less than DC-link voltage, closed-loop control has to be employed when DC regulation and/or AC current phase angle control are required, and AC voltage is sensitive to the variation of the DC-link voltage in DC-AC inversion. The voltage-boost inversion and/or voltage-buck rectification of MZC overcomes the first constraint; thus MZC enables the AC machine voltage increased higher than DC-link voltage hence advantages of running AC machine at relatively high voltages are enabled. The direct DC voltage regulation and inherent AC-current-phase-angle control of MZC overcomes the second constraint in an open-loop manner; hence a simplified system design is obtained with sufficient room for the further improvement by closed-loop control schemes. The extra freedom in controlling DC-link voltage of MZC overcomes the third constraint hence a DC source voltage adaptable inverter is obtained. This thesis focuses on the study of the feasibility of the proposed MZC through theoretical analysis and experimental verification. At first, the proposed MZC is conceptually constructed by examining the quadrant operation of AC-DC matrix converter and Z-source inverter. After the examination of the operating principles of both AC-DC matrix converter and Z-source inverter, the configuration of MZC is then proposed. The MZC has two operating modes: DC-AC inversion and AC-DC rectification. Circuit analysis for both operating modes shows that the new topology does not impose critical conflict in circuit design or extra restriction in parameterization. On the contrary, one version of the proposed MZC can make full advantage of Z-source network components in both operating modes, i.e. a pair of Z-source inductor and capacitor can be used as low-pass filter in AC-DC rectification. The modulation strategy, average modeling of system, and features of critical variables for circuit design of the proposed MZC were examined for each operating mode. Simulations of the proposed MZC and its experimental verification have been presented. Analytical models of conduction and switching losses of the power-switch network in different operating mode have shown that the losses in the MZC compare favorably with conventional VSI for a range of power factor and modulation indices.

Full textAbstract:
The uses of flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) controllers in next generation smart grids are encouraged by the increased uses of decentralized and highly meshed grid structures that may affect the stability of power systems. Voltage source converter (VSC) based FACTS devices have reduced footprint and offer increased control flexibility, extended range and faster reaction time than line commutated thyristor based equivalent solutions. The performance of commonly used FACTS devices that employ a two-level converter is summarized. Then, multilevel converters and direct AC-AC converters which are viable for FACTS applications are reviewed. The outcomes of the literature surveys are refined to identify new features that may be critical for future centralised and decentralized smart grids such as: control range extension, improved efficiency and power density at reduced hardware cost. To pursue these features, three novel VSC topologies are proposed and analysed: An AC voltage-doubled (ACVD) topology with an internal inverting buck-boost cell in each phase-leg, is able to synthesize twice the output voltage of a conventional two-level VSC for the same dc link voltage, is proposed. A number of new modulation and control strategies that aim to further increase DC utilization of the ACVD converter and to manage its internal dynamic interaction to prevent the appearance of low-order harmonics in the output currents, are presented. With its high DC-rail utilization and sophisticated control strategies, the ACVD converter offers an extended power control range, which is increasingly important for shunt and series type FACTS devices. The controlled transition full-bridge hybrid multilevel converter (CTFB-HMC) with chain-links of full-bridge cells is proposed to combine the advantages of improved wave-shaping ability, reduced footprint and high efficiency, which promote its applications in medium and high voltage FACTS devices. An AC hexagonal chopper using heterodyne modulation to decouple the control of AC voltage amplitude from that of the phase-angle is proposed. For scalability to medium and high voltage, a modular multilevel AC hexagonal chopper (M2AHC) is developed. With adoption of a quasi-two-level transitional mode for reduced cell number and minimized footprint, dv/dt is limited and reliability is improved. Simulation and experimentation are used to validate the modulation, control and FACTS implementation of the three proposed converters.

Full textAbstract:
The Current Source Inverter (CSI) is one of the simplest power converter topologies that can convert DC to AC and feed power generated from photovoltaic (PV) cells into the AC grid with a single power conversion stage over the whole PV voltage range. The CSI also provides smooth DC current which is one of the requirements of the PV cells as well as preventing reverse current using unidirectional switches. However, the CSI operates with low efficiency at lower PV voltages, which is where the PV cells produce maximum output power. This low efficiency is caused by large differences in voltage levels between the PV side and the grid side across the converter. This thesis presents an alternative topology to the three-phase CSI by connecting an AC capacitor in series with each AC phase line of the CSI circuit. The presence of the series AC capacitors in the CSI topology allows the AC voltage levels to be adjusted to match the voltage levels of the PV cells. Therefore, the CSI with series AC capacitors is able to operate with optimal DC-AC voltage levels. Performance of the proposed topology is evaluated in comparison to the standard CSI and five other converter topologies based on transformerless circuit concepts selected from those already available in the market and suitable converters discussed in the literature. All converter topologies were modeled and simulated with the SABER simulation software package. The CSI with series AC capacitors prototype was constructed in order to validate the feasibility of the proposed topology and the performance of the proposed topology in comparison to the standard CSI. Simulation results show that the CSI with series AC capacitors provides improved efficiency and better input/output power quality in comparison to the standard CSI. The proposed topology also achieves the lowest output line current distortion, lowest voltage stress across the circuit components and lowest estimated cost of power semiconductors when compared to all considered topologies. Experimental results are also presented to validate the simulation results.

Full textAbstract:
In this master thesis control systems for a voltage-source converter HVDC connected to weak ac networks are investigated. HVDC stands for high voltage direct current and is a way to transfer power in the electrical power system. A HVDC uses direct current (dc) instead of alternate current (ac) to transfer power, which requires transformation between ac and dc since most power grids are ac networks. The HVDC uses converters to transform ac to dc and dc to ac and the converter requires a control system. A complete control system of a voltage source converter HVDC contains many different parts. The part investigated in this thesis is the active power control. Different structures containing PID controllers have been tested and evaluated with respect to stability and performance using control theory. The impact of weak ac networks has been evaluated in regards to the different control structures. The investigations have been conducted using mainly steady-state simulations. Based on the simulation and analyzes of the simulation results a promising control structure has been obtained and suggested for further investigation.

In this thesis various reduced common mode voltage (RCMV) pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques and active/passive common mode voltage (CMV) reduction methods for voltage source inverter driven three-phase AC motors are theoretically and practically investigated. A novel RCMV-PWM method, the near state PWM (NSPWM) method is proposed for operation at high modulation index. At low modulation index, a modified version of an existing RCMV-PWM method, AZSPWM1, termed as MAZSPWM, is proposed to mitigate the voltage reflection problem of the method. An optimum modulation algorithm combining NSPWM and MAZSPWM with seamless transition is proposed. The proposed RCMV-PWM methods significantly reduce CMV but they suppress common mode current (CMC) partially. Utilization of a common mode inductor together with RCMV-PWM methods is effective in suppressing the CMC. In the study, in addition to the CMV characteristics, various practical performance characteristics such as voltage linearity, inverter output current ripple, inverter DC-link current ripple, and output line-to-line voltage pulse pattern are also analyzed. The study involves analysis, computer simulations, and detailed laboratory experiments.

The rapid expansion in power transmission for the integration of large-scale renewables is foreseen in the future. This will be complemented by infrastructure reinforcements in the form of series compensation and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) links. These changes will bring forth new operability challenges to grid operators. The stability issues pertained to such reinforcements: potential threat of subsynchronous resonance (SSR) and frequency regulation will be investigated in this thesis. Utilising the existing and future voltage source converters (VSC) based HVDC links to support the AC system by proving ancillary services will be of significant importance in the coming decades. The research work presented in this thesis is aimed to address these challenges, in particular, the technical barriers associated with AC/DC interaction and to propose measures to avoid any potential instability. The main contributions of this research work comprise of four parts, namely, (1) analysis of interactions in-terms of SSR in AC/DC grids, (2) design of SSR damping (SSRD) controllers, (3) experimental demonstration of SSRD schemes, and (4) assessment and improvement of frequency regulation in a wind-thermal bundled AC/DC grid. An VSC-HVDC connected series-compensated AC system resembling the Great Britain (GB) power system has been used as the test network to evaluate the operability challenges pertained to the reinforcements. A state-space representation has been formulated and an eigenvalue analysis has been performed to assess the impact of VSC-HVDC on the torsional modes of nearby connected thermal generation plants. This is followed by damping torque investigation for SSR screening with the results compared against time-domain simulations for testing the accuracy of the small-signal models for SSR studies. A series of SSRD schemes is presented which have been integrated with the VSC-HVDC to damp SSR in the series-compensated GB power system. In addition, this thesis proposes an adaptive SSRD method based on the real-time estimation of the subsynchronous frequency v Abstract component present in series-compensated transmission lines–key information for the optimal design of HVDC subsynchronous damping controllers. Furthermore, the combined AC/DC GB network has been implemented in a real-time digital simulator and connected to a VSCHVDC scaled-down test-rig to performhardware-in-the-loop tests. The efficacy and operational performance of the AC/DC network while providing SSR damping is tested through a series of experiments. In order to provide frequency support in a wind-thermal bundled AC/DC system a dualdroop controlmethod is presented. The scheme binds the system frequency with the DC voltage of an HVDC network. For completeness, the performance of the proposed method is compared to conventional frequency regulation schemes. Sensitivity studies and eigenvalue analyses are conducted to assess the impact that wind penetration and changes in the dual-droop coefficient have on grid stability. Experimental validation is performed using a real-time hardware-inthe- loop test-rig, with simulation and experimental results showing a good agreement and evidencing the superior performance of the proposed frequency support scheme.

Full textAbstract:
With the ongoing push for wireless systems to accommodate more users and support higher data rates more efficient modulation schemes have been created that are more advanced than simple FM and AM modulation used for radio broadcasting. These modulation schemes, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), suffer from high peak to average power ratios. Standard Class A and Class AB amplifiers cannot simultaneously achieve good linearity and efficiency, and therefore there has been an increase in the development of new topologies to combat this issue. Common features to these circuits is power combining of two or more separate transistors.
In this work, we consider various ways of two-source power combining and identify four topologies of interest. We notice that linear power-efficient amplifiers reported to date are based upon two of the identified combining strategies. We believe that no amplifiers have been reported that leverage the other two alternatives. This work produces a fully-functional amplifier based on one of these alternatives. The prototypes are intended to serve as concept verification of the architecture and hence are implemented at lower (1 MHz) frequencies.

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The implementation of the Caprivi Link Interconnector (CLI) High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) scheme in 2010 connecting the weak Namibian and Zambian Alternating Current (AC) transmission networks via overhead line is based on Voltage Source Converter (VSC) technology. This world-first combination of attributes presents a unique opportunity to study harmonic interaction between weak AC systems and VSC-based HVDC schemes. Relatively few publications exist that focus on AC and DC harmonic interaction and very few refer to VSC HVDC schemes. Because weak AC systems are much more prone to harmonic distortion than strong AC systems, there is a clear motivation for more detailed work in this field. In order to understand the context wherein AC and DC harmonic interaction exists, the fields of AC power system harmonic analysis and resonance, VSC switching theory, HVDC scheme configurations, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques and frequency domain analysis techniques are discussed. This thesis then presents the concept of Harmonic Amplitude Transfer Ratio (HATR) by a theoretical analysis of AC and DC harmonic interaction due to the fundamental component, as well as harmonic interaction due to scheme characteristic harmonics and is compared to the simulation results obtained from different software solutions. Simulation and modelling techniques for AC and DC harmonic interaction are discussed including AC and DC systems modelling. The theoretical results and simulation results are compared to the results obtained from a real life case study on the CLI HVDC scheme where a harmonic resonance condition occurred. The correlation of these three sets of results confirms the validity of the theories presented and possible mitigation of the case study resonance problems is explored. The results and conclusion highlight a variety of interesting points on harmonic sequence components analysis, VSC zero sequence elimination, AC and DC harmonic interaction due to the fundamental component and the HATR for different PWM methods, AC and DC harmonic interaction due to scheme characteristic harmonics, modelling techniques and mitigation for the resonance conditions experienced in the analysed real life case study.

Full textAbstract:
For high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission, the strength of the ac system is important for normal operation. An ac system can be considered as weak either because its impedance is high or its inertia is low. A typical high-impedance systemis when an HVDC link is terminated at a weak point of a large ac system where the short-circuit capacity of the ac system is low. Low-inertia systems are considered to have limited number of rotating machines, or no machines at all. Examples of such applications can be found when an HVDC link is powering an isand system, or if it is connected to a wind farm. One of the advantages of applying a voltage-source converter (VSC) based HVDC systemis its potential to be connected to very weak ac systems where the conventional linecommutated converter (LCC) based HVDC system has difficulties. In this thesis, the modeling and control issues for VSC-HVDC links connected to weak ac systems are investigated. In order to fully utilize the potential of the VSC-HVDC system for weak-ac-system connections, a novel control method, i.e., powersynchronization control, is proposed. By using power-synchronization control, the VSC resembles the dynamic behavior of a synchronous machine. Several additional functions, such as high-pass current control, current limitation, etc. are proposed to deal with issues during operation. For modeling of ac/dc systems, the Jacobian transfer matrix is proposed as a unified modeling approach. With the ac Jacobian transfer matrix concept, a synchronous ac system is viewed upon as one multivariable feedback system. In the thesis, it is shown that the transmission zeros and poles of the Jacobian transfer matrix are closely related to several power-system stability phenomena. The similar modeling concept is extended to model a dc system with multiple VSCs. It is mathematically proven that the dc system is an inherently unstable process, which requires feedback controllers to be stabilized. For VSC-HVDC links using power-synchronization control, the short-circuit ratio (SCR) of the ac system is no longer a limiting factor, but rather the load angles. The righthalf plane (RHP) transmission zero of the ac Jacobian transfer matrix moves closer to the origin with larger load angles, which imposes a fundamental limitation on the achievable bandwidth of the VSC. As an example, it is shown that a VSC-HVDC link using powersynchronization control enables a power transmission of 0.86 p.u. from a system with an SCR of 1.2 to a system with an SCR of 1.0. For low-inertia systemconnections, simulation studies show that power-synchronization control is flexible for various operation modes related to island operation and handles the mode shifts seamlessly.QC20100607

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation presents various systematic design techniques for photovoltaic (PV) source simulators to serve as a convenient tool for the dynamic performance evaluation of solar power conditioning systems and their maximum power point tracking algorithms. A well-designed PV source simulator should accurately emulate the static and the dynamic characteristic of actual PV generator. Four major design features should be adopted in any PV source simulator: (i) high power-stage efficiency, (ii) fast transient response-time, (iii) output impedance matching with actual PV generator, and (iv) precise reference generation technique. Throughout this research, two different PV source simulator systems are designed, modeled, and experimentally verified. The design of the first system focuses mainly on creating new reference generation techniques where the PV equivalent circuit is used to precisely generate the current-voltage reference curves. A novel technique is proposed and implemented with analog components to simplify the reference signal generator and to avoid computation time delays in digital controllers. A two-stage LC output filter is implemented with the switching power-stage to push the resonant frequency higher and thus allowing a higher control-loop bandwidth design while keeping the same switching ripple attenuation as in the conventional one-stage LC output filter. With typical control techniques, the output impedance of the proposed simulator did not match the closed-loop output impedance of actual PV generator due to the double resonant peaks of the two-stage LC output filter. Design procedures for both control and power-stage circuits are explained. Experimental results verify the steady-state and transient performance of the proposed PV source simulator at around 2.7 kW output.
The design concept of the first simulator system is enhanced with a new type of PV source simulator that incorporates the advantages of both analog and digital based simulators. This simulator is characterized with high power-stage efficiency and fast transient response-time. The proposed system includes a novel three-phase ac-dc dual boost rectifier cascaded with a three-phase dc-dc interleaved buck converter. The selected power-stage topology is highly reliable and efficient. Moreover, the multi-phase dc-dc converter helps improve system transient response-time though producing low output ripple, which makes it adequate for PV source simulators.
The simulator circuitry emulates precisely the static and the dynamic characteristic of actual PV generator under different environmental conditions including different irradiance and temperature levels. Additionally, the system allows for the creation of the partial shading effect on PV characteristic. This dissertation investigates the dynamic performance of commercial and non-commercial solar power conditioning systems using the proposed simulator in steady-state and transient conditions. Closed-loop output impedance of the proposed simulator is verified at different operating conditions. The impedance profile --magnitude and phase- matches the output impedance of actual PV generator closely. Mathematical modeling and experimental validation of the proposed system is thoroughly presented based on a 2.0 kW hardware prototype. The proposed simulator efficiency including the active-front-end rectifier and the converter stages at the maximum power point is 96.4%.

Cette thèse est dédiée à l'étude du transport subnanoseconde de charges dans un conducteur quantique modèle: la capacité mésoscopique. En appliquant une tension hyperfréquence sur une grille située au dessus d'une boîte quantique de taille micronique, on sonde la dynamique de transfert de charges de la boîte vers un réservoir. Dans le régime linéaire, ce circuit est équivalent à une capacité quantique reliée à la densité d'états de la boîte en série d’une résistance constante et égale au demi quantum de résistance h/2e2. Dans le régime non linéaire obtenu en appliquant une tension créneau d'amplitude comparable à l'énergie d'addition de la boîte (énergie nécessaire à l’ajout d’une charge), le courant alternatif est quantifié en unité de 2ef traduisant l'émission et l'absorption par la boîte d'un unique électron par période. La phase du courant permet la détermination du temps d’échappement de la charge dans une gamme allant de la centaine de picosecondes à la dizaine de nanosecondes.

The thesis deals with the application of compensators andswitches based on power electronics in AC transmission anddistribution systems. The objective of the studieddevices/equipment is the power flow and voltage control intransmission systems and the mitigation of voltage sags andmomentary interruptions to critical loads in distributionsystems.
For validating the power electronics based devices/equipmentdescribed in the thesis, scaled models at a real-time simulatorhave been built. Simulation results of these models arepresented and discussed in the thesis.
The equipment studied in the thesis exploit the fast controlactions that can be taken by power electronics devices, whichare much faster than the speed of conventional equipment andprotection systems, based on electromechanical devices. In thisway, the power quality of distribution systems is improved,regarding duration and magnitude of voltage sags (dips) andmomentary interruptions, which are the most relevant types ofdisturbances in distribution systems.
The thesis presents some compensators based onforced-commutation voltage-source converters for correctingvoltage sags and swells to critical loads. The seriesconverter, usually denoted Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), hasbeen proved suitable for the task of compensating voltage sagsin the supply network. The use of solid-state devices ascircuit breakers in distribution systems has also been studiedwith the objective of achieving fast interruption or limitationof fault currents. The location and practical aspects for theinstallation of these solid-state breakers are presented. Ithas beenshown that a configuration based on shunt and seriesconnected solid-state devices with controllable turn-offcapability can also provide voltage sag mitigation, without theneed of transformers and large energy storage elements.
The operation and control of two Flexible AC TransmissionSystem (FACTS) devices for voltage and power flow control intransmission systems, namely the Static Synchronous Compensator(STATCOM) and the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC),respectively, are also studied. A faster response compared totraditional equipment consisting of mechanically based/switchedelements is then achieved. This allows a more flexible controlof power flow and a secure loading of transmission lines tolevels nearer to their thermal limits. The behaviour of thesedevices during faults in the transmission system is alsopresented.

Full textAbstract:
Advanced pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques such as space vector PWM, active zero state PWM, discontinuous PWM, and near state PWM methods are used in three-phase AC motor drives for the purpose of obtaining low PWM current ripple, wide voltage linearity range, and reduced common mode voltage (CMV). In some applications, a filter is inserted between the inverter and the motor for the purpose of reducing the stresses in the motor. The motor current PWM ripple components, terminal voltage overshoots, shaft voltage, and bearing currents, etc. can all be reduced by means of PWM techniques and passive filters. Various PWM techniques and passive filter types exist. This thesis studies the combinations of PWM techniques and filters and evaluates the performance of the motor drive in terms of the discussed stresses in the motor. PWM techniques are reviewed, a generalized algorithm for the implementation of PWM techniques is developed, and implementation on a 4 kW rated drive is demonstrated. Filter types are studied, among them the common mode inductor and the pure sine filter (PSF) configurations are investigated in detail. Filters are designed and their laboratory performance is evaluated. In the final stage the advanced PWM techniques and filters are combined, the incompatibility problem of discontinuous PWM methods with the PSF is illustrated. A cure based on rate of change limiter is proposed and its feasibility proven in the laboratory experiments. With the use of the proposed PWM algorithm and PSF, a motor drive with ideal DC to AC conversion stage (DC to pure sine) is achieved and its performance is demonstrated in the laboratory.

Full textAbstract:
The City of Georgetown, Kentucky relies on a vast karst spring network as a drinking water source. This karst feature has several inputs from sinkholes and streams in the Cane Run Watershed: a watershed associated with a variety of land uses in the recharge area. The recharge area encompasses the area from North Lexington to Georgetown and is composed of urban, suburban, agricultural and industrial usage. A serious water quality issue exists with respect to the impact of fecal contamination within the spring recharge area. Identification of fecal contamination is quantified by microbial indicators adapted from surface water applications: fecal load (E. coli), fecal source (two human-host specific Bacteroides DNA markers) and fecal age (AC/TC ratio). These three criteria are used in a categorical Microbial Source Tracking (MST) model to assign a Sanitary Category Value (SCV) between 0 and 3 for each sample location. Low SCVs (1.5) are associated with high values of fecal load, low fecal age and detectable concentration of human-specific markers. SCV measured during dry weather conditions are indicative of potentially leaking human sewers.
Due to retention and conservation of fecal load (E. coli) and age (AC/TC) microbial indicators in the karstic environment, ambiguous SCV model results cannot pinpoint, with statistical confidence, fecal sources in a karstic environment. Human-host specific genetic markers (HF183 and HuBac) were also detected at all sample sites above limits of detection, indicating steady inflow of fecal material during all sample events. By adding a flow multiplier and expressing HF183 and HuBac values as a load, it was strongly indicated that a human fecal source was entering the groundwater conduit and impacting Royal Spring independent from other upstream fecal sources. Interpretation of these trends, while strongly indicated, cannot be supported with statistical evidence.

Full textAbstract:
A voltage source inverter is commonly used to supply a variable frequency variable voltage to a three phase induction motor in a variable speed application. A suitable pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is employed to obtain the required output voltage in the line side of the inverter. Real-time methods for PWM generation can be broadly classified into triangle comparison based PWM (TCPWM) and space vector based PWM (SVPWM).
In TCPWM methods such as sine-triangle PWM, three phase reference modulating signals are compared against a common triangular carrier to generate the PWM signals for the three phases.
In SVPWM methods, a revolving reference voltage vector is provided as voltage reference instead of three phase modulating waves. The magnitude and frequency of the fundamental component in the line side are controlled by the magnitude and frequency, respectively, of the reference vector.
The fundamental line side voltage is proportional to the reference magnitude during linear modulation. With sine-triangle PWM, the highest possible peak phase fundamental voltage is 0.5Vdc, where Vdc is the DC bus voltage, in the linear modulation zone. With techniques such as third harmonic injection PWM and space vector based PWM, the peak phase fundamental voltage can be as high as (formula) (i.e., 0:577Vdc)during linear modulation. To increase the line side voltage further, the operation of the VSI must be extended into the overmodulation region. The overmodulation region extends upto the six-step mode, which gives the highest possible ac voltage for a given (formula).
In TCPWM based methods, increasing the reference magnitude beyond a certain level leads to pulse dropping, and gradually leads to six-step operation. However, in SVPWM methods, an overmodulation algorithm is required for controlling the line-side voltage during overmodulation and to achieve a smooth transition from PWM to six-step mode.
Numerous overmodulation algorithms have been proposed in the literature for space vector modulated inverter. A well known algorithm among these divides the overmodulation zone into two zones, namely zone-I and zone-II. This is termed as the 'existing overmodulation algorithm' here. This algorithm is modified in the present work to reduce computational burden without much increase in the line current distortion.
During overmodulation, the fundamental line side voltage and the reference magnitude are not proportional, which is undesirable from the control point of view. The present work ensures a linear relationship between the two.
Apart from the fundamental component, the inverter output voltage mainly consists of harmonic components at high frequencies (around switching frequency and the integral multiples) during linear modulation. However, during overmodulation, low order harmonic components such as 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th etc., are also present in the output voltage. These low order harmonic voltages lead to low order harmonic currents in the motor. The sum of the lower order harmonic currents is termed as 'lower order current ripple'. The present thesis proposes a method for estimation of lower order current ripple in real-time.
In closed loop current control, the motor current is fed back to the current controller. During overmodulation, the motor current contains low order harmonics, which appear in the current error fed to the controller. These harmonic currents are amplified by the current error amplifier deteriorating the performance of the drive.
It is possible to filter the lower order harmonic currents before being fed back. However, filtering introduces delay in the current loop, and reduces the bandwidth even during linear modulation. In the present work, the estimated lower order current ripple is subtracted from the measured current before the latter is fed back to the controller.
The estimation of lower order current ripple and the proposed current control are verified through simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK and also experimentally on a laboratory prototype. The experimental setup comprises of a field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) based digital controller, an IGBT based inverter and a four-pole squirrel cage induction motor.

Full textAbstract:
The field of molecular fecal source tracking in the water environment has developed rapidly since the first PCR assays for general and host-‐specific Bacteroides 16s rRNA markers were published. Numerous host-‐specific molecular markers and PCR assays have been developed, adding greater specificity, sensitivity and quantitative methods to the array of options. The public demand for readying methods for transfer to the commercial lab, so that they may be used to generate data for public utilities, citizen action groups and regulatory agencies, has fueled the development of an entire new research community. These methods, however plentiful, have not found community agreement and there is no consensus concerning the appropriate implementation of molecular fecal source tracking in the field. Some issues plaguing the implementation include imperfect marker specificity, environmental variability, DNA extraction variability, PCR inhibition and high cost of molecular analysis. This thesis presents an approach for locating hot spots of human fecal pollution in an urban watershed by using published methodologies for the collection of molecular fecal source tracking data along with a tiered watershed screening tool for cost reduction and two data normalization techniques which ameliorate several known sources of error and strengthen the efficacy of watershed application.

Full textAbstract:
Classiquement, la chaîne de conversion de l’énergie électrique des centrales photovoltaïques comporte un champ photovoltaïque (PV) délivrant une tension maximale de 1kV suivi d’un hacheur élévateur connecté à un onduleur de tension triphasé. Cette chaîne de conversion à deux étages (DC/DC + DC/AC) est ensuite raccordée sur le réseau moyenne tension au travers d’un transformateur BT/HTA. Dans l’objectif de simplifier les systèmes de conversion PV, ce travail de recherche s’intéresse à l’étude et la mise en œuvre d’une topologie DC/AC n’employant qu’un seul étage de conversion : l’Onduleur de Courant triphasé. Bien que relativement simple, l’Onduleur de Courant présente comme inconvénient majeur les pertes par conduction. Pour pallier ce problème, des interrupteurs à grand-gap au Carbure de Silicium (SiC) sont employés, ce qui permet de convertir de l’énergie de façon performante (η>98.5%) tout en gardant une fréquence de commutation élevée (plusieurs dizaines de kHz). Les modules à semi-conducteurs de puissance du marché n’étant pas compatibles avec ce type de convertisseur, des modules particuliers en SiC ont été développés dans le cadre de la thèse. La caractérisation dynamique de ces nouveaux modules est réalisée dans le but de servir de base à la conception d’un démonstrateur de l’Onduleur de Courant d’une puissance nominale de 60kW. Enfin, le rendement de la partie semi-conducteur de puissance est évalué par une méthode calorimétrique confirmant l’aptitude de la topologie à fonctionner à des fréquences de commutation supérieures. L’originalité de ces travaux réside principalement dans la conception, caractérisation et mise en œuvre de ce nouveau module de puissance adapté à cette topologie connue, mais peu étudiée à l’heure actuelle avec des interrupteurs au SiCClassically, the energy conversion architecture found in photovoltaic (PV) power plants comprises a multitude of solar arrays delivering a maximum voltage of 1kV followed by a step-up chopper connected to a three-phase voltage source inverter. This two-stage conversion system (DC/DC + DC/AC) is then connected to the MV grid through a LV/MV transformer. In order to simplify the PV systems, this research work focuses on the study and implementation of a DC/AC topology employing a single conversion stage: the three-phase current source inverter (CSI). Although relatively simple, the CSI presents as major drawback the conduction losses. To deal with this problem, wide-bandgap silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors are used, which allows to efficiently convert energy (η> 98.5%) while keeping a relatively high switching frequency (several tens of kHz). Nonetheless, since the available power semiconductor modules on the market are not compatible with the CSI, a novel 1.7kV SiC-based module is developed in the context of the thesis. Thus, the dynamic characterization of the new SiC device is carried out and serves as a basis for the design of a 60kW Current Source Inverter prototype. Finally, the inverter’s semiconductor efficiency is evaluated through a calorimetric method, confirming the ability of the topology to operate at higher switching frequencies. At the present time, little research has been conducted on the CSI implementation with SiC devices. The originality of this work lies mainly in the design, characterization and implementation of the new SiC power module adapted to this well-known inverter topology

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an effort to investigate the operation and the performanceof modular multilevel converters (M2Cs). Proven to be the most promisingtopology in high-voltage high-power applications, it is necessary to put aneffort in understanding the physical laws that govern the internal dynamicsof such converters, in order to design appropriate control methods. AlthoughM2Cs belong to the well-studied family of voltage-source converters (VSCs),and claim a modular structure, their control is significantly more complicatedcompared to two- or three-level VSCs, due to the fact that a much highernumber of switches and capacitors are needed in such a topology. This thesishighlights the important parameters that should be considered when designingthe control for an M2C, through analyzing its internal dynamics, and alsosuggests ways to control such converters ensuring stable operation withoutcompromising the performance of the converter.Special focus is given on ac motor-drive applications as they are very demandingand challenging for the converter performance. Interactions betweenthe internal dynamics and the dynamics of the driven motor are experimentallyinvestigated. The problem of operating the converter when connectedto a motor standing still is visited, even under the condition that a greatamount of torque and current are requested, in order to provide an idea forthe converter requirements under such conditions. Finally, an optimization ofthe converter operation is suggested in order to avoid overrating the convertercomponents in certain operation areas that this is possible.All analytical investigations presented in this thesis are confirmed by experimentalresults on a laboratory prototype converter, which was developedfor the purposes of this project. Experimental verification proves the validityof the theoretical investigations, as well as the correct performance of thecontrol methods developed during this project on a real, physical converter,hoping that the results of this thesis will be useful for large-scale implementations,in the mega- or even giga-watt power range.Denna avhandling är ett försök att undersöka drift och egenskaper avmodulära multinivåomvandlare (M2C:er). Eftersom denna topologi anses varaden mest lovande inom högspänings-högeffekt-tillämpningar är, och somett underlag för att kunna formulera lämpliga styrmetoder, är det nödvändigtatt lägga kraft i att försöka förståde fysikaliska lagar som styr den inredynamiken i sådana omvandlare. Även om M2C:erna tillhör den välstuderadefamiljen av spänningsstyva omvandlare (VSC:er), och har en modulärstruktur, är deras reglering avsevärt mer komplicerad jämfört med två- ellertre-nivåomvandlare, eftersom ett mycket större antal switchar och kondensatorerär nödvändiga i en sådan topologi. Denna avhandling sätter fingretpå de parametrar som måste beaktas när man konstruerar regleringen för enM2C, genom att analysera den interna dynamiken, samt att föreslå sätt attstyra sådana omvandlare såatt stabil drift kan säkerställas utan att negativtpåverka prestanda.Ett speciellt fokus läggs på växelströmsmotordrifter eftersom de är särskiltutmanande vad gäller prestanda. Växelverkan mellan den interna dynamikenoch motorns dynamik undersöks experimentellt. Problemet att driva motornvid stillestånd behandlas även i fallet med hög ström och högt moment för atterhålla kunskap om kraven påomvandlaren i sådana fall. Slutligen föreslås enoptimering av omvandlarens drifttillstånd för att undvika överdimensioneringav omvandlarens komponenter i de fall detta är möjligt.Alla analytiska undersökningar som läggs fram i denna avhandling är bekräftadegenom experimentella resultat från en laboratorieomvandlare, somutvecklats inom ramen för detta arbete.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, design and implementation of a distribution-type, voltage source converter (VSC) based static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) having the
simplest converter and coupling transformer topologies have been carried out. The VSC STATCOM is composed of a +/- 750 kVAr full-bridge VSC employing selective harmonic elimination technique, a low-pass input filter, and a ∆
/Y connected coupling transformer for connection to medium voltage bus. The power stage of VSC based STATCOM is composed of water-cooled high voltage IGBT modules switched at 850 Hz for the elimination of 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 17th, 19th, 23rd,and 25th voltage harmonics. Special care has been taken in the laminated busbar design to minimize stray inductances between power semiconductors and dc link capacitor. Reactive power control is achieved by applying the phase angle control technique. The effect of input filter on total demand distortion has been investigated theoretically by mathematical derivations. The proposed VSC STATCOM has been implemented for reactive power compensation of Coal Preparation System in Kemerkö
y Thermal Power Plant. The field test results have shown the success of the implemented system in view of fast response in reactive power compensation, and minimum input current harmonic content, and compliance with the IEEE Std. 519-1992 even for the weakest power systems. The application of selective harmonic elimination technique and phase angle control to VSC STATCOM has led to optimum switching frequency and device utilization for high voltage IGBTs at the expense of slower response as compared to other PWM techniques.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThis work presents a contribution to the study of AC Power Sources, where a prototype s development is presented. The stages that compose the system, including converter topology, filter, instrumentation and controller, are presented. The developed prototype is a three-phase four-wire source, which uses a four-leg voltage source inverter. This topology increases the flexibility for unbalanced waveforms generation or unbalanced load conditions, also simplifying the control problem of the process. This work first looks for justifying the use and the study of AC Power Sources, in this sense, some examples of tests and norms, whose tests demand its use, are given. The applications are in general related to electrical and electronic equipments and for driving electromechanical plants such as shakers. In this sense, AC Power Sources are equipment that can be used both in industry applications and didactic or research laboratories. In practically all applications, it is shown that good performance in waveforms generation is necessary. This performance is related to the ability for waveforms generation with low harmonic distortion even in conditions of variable frequency or amplitude and with nonlinear loads behavior. In this way, the use of an adequate converter topology is not enough, are too necessary controllers to guarantee performance for the system, even in adverse load conditions or in presence of unmodeled dynamics. The unmodeled dynamics are derived from some stages that compose the system, but they are generally related to the uncertainties on the model of the plant and load. Then, this work not only describes the implemented prototype and topological relative questions but also applies a Robust Model Reference Adaptive Control (RMRAC) for the plant control. This technique improves the robustness in the closed loop system even under presence of unmodeled dynamics and disturbances. The controller makes use of a Gradient type algorithm for parametric adaptation with four adapted parameters, which leads to a new error equation that is used for the controller s implementation
Este trabalho apresenta uma contribuição ao estudo de Fontes de Potência CA onde é apresentado o desenvolvimento de um protótipo. Os diversos estágios que compõem o sistema, desde a topologia do conversor, do filtro, da instrumentação e do controlador são apresentados e analisados. O protótipo desenvolvido é uma fonte trifásica a quatro fios, que utiliza um inversor de tensão de quatro braços. Esta topologia permite uma maior flexibilidade na geração de formas de onda desbalanceadas ou em condições de cargas desequilibradas, simplificando também o problema de controle do sistema. Este trabalho procura primeiramente justificar a utilização e o estudo de Fontes de Potência CA, neste sentido são dados alguns exemplos de ensaios e normas, cujos testes demandam a sua utilização. As aplicações são em geral relacionadas a equipamentos eletroeletrônicos e acionamento de outras plantas como vibradores eletromecânicos. Deste modo, as Fontes de Potência CA são equipamentos que podem ser utilizados tanto na indústria quanto em laboratórios didáticos e de pesquisa. Em praticamente todas as aplicações, é mostrado que um bom desempenho na geração de formas de onda é necessário. Este desempenho está relacionado à capacidade de geração de formas de onda com baixa distorção harmônica, não raro, em condições de freqüência e amplitude variáveis e com cargas de comportamento não-linear. Deste modo, a seleção de uma topologia de conversor adequado não basta, são também necessários controladores que garantam um bom desempenho do sistema, mesmo em condições adversas de carga e em presença de dinâmicas não-modeladas. As dinâmicas não-modeladas são oriundas das várias etapas que compõem o sistema, mas geralmente são relacionadas às incertezas sobre o modelo da planta e da carga. Neste sentido, este trabalho descreve não apenas o protótipo implementado e questões topológicas relativas a ele, mas também aplica um Controle Robusto por Modelo de Referência ou RMRAC (Robust Model Reference Adaptive Control) para o controle da planta. Esta técnica garante robustez do sistema em malha fechada mesmo na presença de dinâmicas não modeladas e distúrbios. O controlador utilizado faz uso de um algoritmo de adaptação paramétrica do tipo Gradiente, no qual quatro parâmetros são adaptados. Este fato leva a uma nova equação do erro, que é utilizada para a implementação do controlador.

Full textAbstract:
Modern interconnected power systems are becoming highly complex and sophisticated, while increasing energy penetrations through congested inter-tie lines causing the operating point approaching stability margins. This as a result, exposes the overall system to potential low frequency power oscillation phenomena following disturbances. This in turn can lead to cascading events and blackouts. Recent approaches to counteract this phenomenon are based on utilization of wide area monitoring systems (WAMS) and power electronics based devices, such as flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) and HVDC links for advanced power oscillation damping provision. The rise of hybrid AC-DC power systems is therefore sought as a viable solution in overcoming this challenge and securing wide-area stability. If multiple FACTS devices and HVDC links are integrated in a scheme with no supervising control actions considered amongst them, the overall system response might not be optimal. Each device might attempt to individually damp power oscillations ignoring the control status of the rest. This introduces an increasing chance of destabilizing interactions taking place between them, leading to under-utilized performance, increased costs and system wide-area stability deterioration. This research investigates the development of a novel supervisory control scheme that optimally coordinates a parallel operation of multiple FACTS devices and an HVDC link distributed across a power system. The control system is based on Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) modern optimal control theory. The proposed new control scheme provides coordinating control signals to WAMS based FACTS devices and HVDC link, to optimally and coherently counteract inter-area modes of low frequency power oscillations inherent in the system. The thesis makes a thorough review of the existing and well-established improved stability practises a power system benefits from through the implementation of a single FACTS device or HVDC link, and compares the case –and hence raises the issue–when all active components are integrated simultaneously and uncoordinatedly. System identification approaches are also in the core of this research, serving as means of reaching a linear state space model representative of the non-linear power system, which is a pre-requisite for LQG control design methodology.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorIn this thesis an study of AC Power Source (ACPS) topologies that guarantee the synthesis of high quality voltage waveforms (in comparison to the reference signal) without penalizing the system efficiency is carried out. It must be highlighted that these features can be achieved by employing hybrid topologies, which are composed of a switched-mode power amplifier and a linear power amplifier (LPA). The former amplifier (called main amplifier) processes almost the entire load power, while the second one (called correction amplifier) is responsible for the compensation for any distortion at the output voltage waveform, thus, processing a small amount of the load power. In this way, it is possible to combine both the high efficiency of switched-mode power amplifiers with high quality voltage waveforms characteristic of linear power amplifiers. This work is mainly focused on hybrid topologies in series configuration (series connection between main and correction amplifiers). This allows to employ a low voltage/low power LPA. It must be noticed that this configuration is especially suitable for ACPS applications, when, for example, the mains voltage is intended to be emulated (including high order harmonics, controlled disturbances, etc.), since the LPA experiences low voltage levels in comparison to those synthesized by the ACPS. Throughout the thesis are proposed and theoretically/ experimentally analyzed two novel ACPS topologies, which employ multilevel inverters as main amplifier. The analysis take into account the operation, modulation strategy and design methodology of the power and control circuits (of both main and correction amplifiers). Experimental results are presented (Total Harmonic Distortion and converter efficiency) in order to validate the proposed approach.
Nesta Tese é realizado um estudo acerca das principais topologias de fontes CA de potência (AC Power Source ACPS), que garantem a síntese de formas de onda de tensão de alta fidelidade (com respeito ao sinal de referência) sem, no entanto, comprometer o rendimento do sistema. Salienta-se que essas características podem ser obtidas por topologias híbridas, compostas pela associação de um amplificador chaveado com um amplificador linear. Enquanto o primeiro (denominado de amplificador principal) processa praticamente a totalidade da energia fornecida à carga, o segundo (denominado de amplificador de correção) é responsável apenas por correções na forma de onda de saída, processando, assim, uma pequena parcela de energia. Então, torna-se possível aliar o alto rendimento característico dos conversores chaveados à alta qualidade da forma de onda associada aos amplificadores lineares. O trabalho é direcionado, principalmente, a topologias híbridas em configuração série (conexão série entre o amplificador principal e o amplificador de correção), de modo que amplificadores de correção de baixa tensão/baixa potência possam ser empregados. Destaca-se que essa configuração é especialmente adequada a aplicações com ACPSs, quando, por exemplo, deseja-se emular a rede elétrica de alimentação (inserindo harmônicos de tensão, provocando distúrbios controlados, etc.), uma vez que o amplificador de correção é submetido a níveis de tensão reduzidos, se comparados aos níveis sintetizados pela ACPS. No decorrer do trabalho, são propostas e analisadas teórico-experimentalmente duas topologias inéditas de ACPS, ambas empregando inversores multiníveis como amplificador principal. São apresentadas análises relativas à operação, modulação, metodologia de projeto dos estágios de potência e controle tanto do amplificador principal quanto do de correção , bem como são apresentados resultados experimentais em termos da distorção harmônica total (Total Harmonic Distortion THD) e rendimento global do sistema.

Al giorno d'oggi, molti dispositivi possono essere controllati attraverso dei telecomandi che fanno uso della radiazione infrarossa per la trasmissione wireless, a breve distanza, dei dati. Tuttavia è assai inconveniente avere un telecomando per ogni dispositivo. Basta ricordare tutte quelle volte che non si trova il telecomando della TV, dello stereo, del condizionatore d'aria, ecc. Questo è uno dei motivi principali per cui è stato sviluppato LIRC. Esso offre la possibilità di avere un punto centrale per controllare la maggior parte dei dispositivi dotati di un ricevitore a infrarossi. LIRC, pur essendo uno strumento molto potente, dà la possibilità di inviare solo segnali statici. Questo vuol dire che è in grado di riprodurre solo telecomandi che non salvano il proprio stato (i.e. TV, stereo, ecc), e cioè che un pulsante genera sempre lo stesso segnale. Il lavoro di questa tesi consiste nella creazione di una estensione in modo da introdurre il supporto dei telecomandi stateful, più precisamente quelli di un condizionatore d'aria.

Este trabalho, constitui-se em uma contribuição para o estudo das estratégias de mo-dulação direta baseadas em histerese e que funcionam em frequência fixa de comutação. Tem como objetivo principal propor a estratégia delta modificada, que diferencia-se na forma de ajuste da largura de banda de histerese, alterando-se seus limites e em como executa o comando de bloqueio das chaves de potência, para que a corrente de saída se mantenha em frequência fixa de operação e apresente rápida resposta dinâmica no sistema controlado. Para tanto, não necessita da utilização de derivadas, nem de uma corrente média de referência, tão pouco, se utiliza dos tempos de comutação. A estratégia proposta, comprova que é possível produzir os adequados pulsos de comando para o processamento da energia proveniente de célula combustível, através do conversor estático de potência, utilizando-se, principalmente, dos valores de ultrapassagem nos limites estabelecidos de histerese. Como objetivo secundário desta pesquisa, desenvolve-se um conversor CC/CC auxiliar para adaptar e estabilizar a energia proveniente da CAC, compondo-se um sistema útil que serve de base para fornecer energia, aos mais diversos tipos de cargas em CC. Além disso, apresenta-se uma revisão das estratégias de modulação em modo direto para o controle da corrente de saída no conversor estático, tendo como base a tensão nos terminais de um indutor. Contudo, outras estratégias são naturalmente citadas, no transcorrer deste trabalho, devido haver combinações entre as diferentes estratégias moduladoras e controladoras comentadas.This work, is a contribution to the study of direct modulation strategies based on hysteresis and that operate at fixed switching frequency. Its main objective is to propose the modified delta strategy, which differentiates from the others strategies in the form of adjustment of hysteresis bandwidth, changing its limits and in executing the locking command of the power keys, so that the output current is maintain at fixed frequency of operation and a rapid dynamic response in the controlled system. In order to do so, it does not require the use of derivatives or a reference average current and also the switching times are not used. This strategy shows that it is possible to produce the appropriate command pulses for the processing of fuel cell energy by the static power converter using mainly the exceedance limit values. As a secondary objective of this research, an auxiliary DC/DC converter is developed to adapt and stabilize the energy coming from the fuel cell, forming a useful system that serves as a base to supply power to the most diverse types of DC loads. In addition, we present a review of the direct-mode modulation strategies for the control of the output current in the static converter, updating data, and based on the voltage at the terminals of an inductor; how-ever, others strategies are naturally cited because there are combinations between the different modulating strategies and controllers commented on in the course of this work.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThis Master Thesis presents an AC Power Source (ACPS) study contribution through the proposal, design and implementation of a novel hybrid ACPS topology. In general, the proposed hybrid topology is defined from the series connection between a Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC), called main amplifier, and a Linear Power Amplifier (LPA), called correction amplifier. With this connection, the proposed ACPS enables the output waveform synthesis with high fidelity when compared to the reference waveform, also with a high bandwidth. The main contribution of the proposed topology is to allow the simplification of the main amplifier input stage, since the MMC requires a common DC bus for providing power to the load. Throughout this study, a linear amplifier DC bus design is presented, since it influences directly the ACPS performance. Regarding the main amplifier, dynamic models are presented for the control system design, which will ensure the circulating component minimization in the MMC poles, as well as ensuring the converter power flow balance by controlling the sum and subtraction of the capacitor voltages. Additionally, the pole inductors design considering the current ripple at the switching frequency is also presented. The ACPS prototype consists of eight half-bridge submodules, triggered by the control system implemented on a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and through the selection algorithm implemented on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Finally, experimental results are provided in order to guarantee the employed methodology in the main and correction amplifiers design, through bench test prototype.
Esta Dissertação contribuiu com o estudo de fontes CA de potência (AC Power Source ACPS), através da proposta, desenvolvimento e implementação de uma nova topologia híbrida de ACPS. De forma geral, a topologia híbrida proposta é definida a partir da conexão série entre um Conversor Multinível Modular (Modular Multilevel Converter MMC), denominado amplificador principal, e um Amplificador Linear de Potência (Linear Power Amplifier LPA), denominado amplificador de correção. Com esta conexão, a ACPS proposta sintetiza uma forma de onda de saída com elevada fidelidade em relação à forma de onda de referência, juntamente com elevada banda-passante. A principal contribuição da topologia proposta é a possibilidade de simplificação do estágio de entrada do amplificador principal, uma vez que o MMC requer apenas um barramento CC para o fornecimento de potência à carga. No decorrer deste trabalho, também é apresentada uma análise para o projeto do barramento CC do amplificador linear, uma vez que o mesmo influencia diretamente no rendimento da ACPS. Em relação ao amplificador principal, são apresentados os modelos dinâmicos para o projeto do sistema de controle, que deve garantir a minimização da componente circulante dos polos do MMC, bem como garantir o balanço de potência do conversor através do controle da soma e da subtração das tensões dos capacitores das células. Adicionalmente, é apresentada uma análise para o projeto dos indutores dos polos em função da ondulação de corrente na frequência de chaveamento. O protótipo da ACPS é composto por oito submódulos meia-ponte, acionados através do sistema de controle implementado em um Processador Digital de Sinais (Digital Signal Processor DSP) e através do algoritmo de do balanço das tensões implementado em uma FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array). A partir da implementação da ACPS em laboratório, são apresentados os resultados experimentais com o propósito de comprovar a metodologia empregada no projeto dos amplificadores principal e de correção, bem como da estratégia de controle.

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo comparativo de conversores monofásicos aplicados a sistemas fotovoltaicos sem transformador. Topologias de inversores sem transformador têm menores custos, tamanho e peso. Contudo, a não utilização do transformador pode ser responsável por consideráveis valores de correntes de fuga. A associação em série de vários módulos fotovoltaicos se faz necessária para alcançar o nível de tensão desejado no barramento c.c.. Com o intuito de reduzir o número de módulos fotovoltaicos em série, topologias com característica de elevação de tensão (boost) podem ser utilizadas. Portanto, topologias que possuem estas características e que possam apresentar baixos valores de correntes de fuga devem ser escolhidas para o estudo. As topologias presentes neste trabalho são: o conversor de dois estágios, o inversor fonte Z monofásico com diodo adicional, e o inversor fonte Z de três estados.
This work presents a comparative study of single-phase converters applied to transformerless photovoltaic systems. Topologies of transformerless inverters have lower costs, size and weight. However, not using it may cause considerable amounts of leakage currents. The association in series of several PV modules is needed to achieve the voltage level desired in d.c. bus. In order to reduce the number of photovoltaic modules in series, topologies with voltage boost characteristic can be used. Therefore, topologies that have voltage boost characteristic and can have low leakage current values are chosen for the study. Topologies present in this work are: the two stages single-phase converter, the single-phase Z-source inverter with additional diode, and the single-phase three switch three state Z-source inverter.

The objective of the proposed research is to investigate feasible approaches to dynamic control of the power grid. Growth in the demand for electric power, and an increase in the penetration of renewable energy resources are causing congestion on an already aging power grid. Conventional grid control involves the use of static assets that operate on long time scales. These assets provide no dynamic control on the grid, and are typically used for scheduled support. Existing solutions (FACTS devices) to dynamic grid control have seen minimal market penetration because of high cost and low reliability. The proposed research provides a solution for dynamic control of the power grid that augments existing grid assets with a thin AC converter (TACC) to realize enhanced dynamic control. The TACC is a direct AC converter with filter elements and no bulk energy storage that dynamically reflects the asset value on the grid. The converter has a fail-normal mode of operation that returns the asset to its initial operating state, thereby not degrading system reliability. Some applications of TACCs include Inverter-Less STATCOMs and Controllable Network Transformers, which are realized by augmenting shunt VAR capacitors and load tap changers respectively. The principle of virtual quadrature sources is proposed to enable conditioning of AC voltages and currents. The concept is a novel method to realize control of phase angle and, or harmonics in single-phase AC converters, with no bulk energy storage. This concept is used to control the TACC and provides the asset with significantly enhanced control capabilities. Scaling of the TACC to utility voltage and power levels has been addressed by proposing a novel multilevel direct AC converter. The concept proposes the use of commercially available low cost semiconductor devices to realize high power converters. The specific application chosen to validate the concept of TACCs, through a medium voltage design, is the Inverter-less STATCOM.

L'utilisation des plusieurs sources d'énergies de caractéristiques différentes, à bord du véhicule électrique VE) nécessite l'adoption de convertisseurs statiques. Ces derniers peuvent avoir la fonction de conditionneur 'énergie des différentes sources et/ou commander les machines électriques du véhicule.Généralement les VE disposent d'un bus continu " de quelques centaines de volts " dont la stabilité est assurée par un groupe de convertisseurs élévateurs de tension (du fait que les sources ont généralement un niveau de tension faible ; quelques dizaines de volts). Lors des démarrages/arrêts très fréquents du VE en mode urbain, les sources pourraient alimenter directement le moteur de traction sans avoir recours aux convertisseurs élévateurs de tension. Afin d'exploiter cette fonctionnalité, nous proposons d'explorer une deuxième architecture de convertisseur basée sur l'adoption d'un niveau de tension variable du bus continu. Dans cette approche, la tension minimale de ce dernier est fixée en fonction des niveaux de tensions disponibles du côté des sources et de la vitesse requise (niveau des f.é.m du moteur de traction). Ainsi, le rapport variable d'élévation de la tension est minimal à faible vitesse du véhicule en mode urbain et il est maximal à grande vitesse, en modes route et autoroute. Ceci apportera une amélioration du rendement énergétique de l'ensemble sources-moteurs notamment en mode urbain. Par ailleurs, l'utilisation grand public de ces véhicules exige des contraintes maximales de disponibilité (continuité de service) des fonctions principales notamment l'alimentation embarquée. A travers le travail de cette thèse nous proposons une nouvelle topologie du convertisseur de puissance entre les sources (une Pile à combustibles associée à un pack de super-condensateurs) et les charges (moteur de traction et réseau de bord alimentant les auxiliaires du véhicule). Ce convertisseur adopte une tension variable du bus continu et une redondance de l'alimentation du moteur de traction. Après la présentation du convertisseur proposé et son positionnement par rapport à la littérature, une analyse du fonctionnement et la modélisation de sa partie DC-DC est détaillée notamment à travers des résultats de simulation de ses différents modes. A ce titre un programme de simulation fine (à l'échelle des impulsions de commande) du système entier a été développé. Dans un deuxième temps, la commande automatique et rapprochée des interrupteurs de puissance a été développée en se basant respectivement sur la méthode de contrôle par petits signaux et la commande hystérésis de courant, triangulaire-rapport cyclique et triangulaire-sinus. Les résultats de simulation des fonctionnalités principales attendues mettent en évidence la faisabilité de l'architecture du convertisseur de puissance proposée. Enfin, une maquette expérimentale à échelle réduite a été développée dans le but de valider l'étude théorique. Les premiers tests expérimentaux de la partie DC-DC du convertisseur donnent des résultats satisfaisant et valident ainsi le processus de conception. Le travail futur sera la réalisation d'une maquette à échelle 1 dans laquelle la conception du refroidisseur sera intégrée en amont de la réalisation du plan de masse dudit convertisseur. Nous pensons que cela permettra une meilleure optimisation de l'espace à bord du véhicule et améliorera le rendement énergétique de la chaine de traction.

Este trabalho aborda o estudo de topologia de conversor de energia baseada no uso de configuração de rede de impedância denominada fonte-Y, com o objetivo de ser aplicado em sistemas de geração distribuída de energia, em redes de baixa tensão. Em sistemas de geração distribuída de energia usualmente se faz necessária a existência de um estágio elevador de tensão e um estágio inversor, ambos controlados para produzir tensão e/ou corrente senoidal com mesma frequência, amplitude e fase da rede elétrica. Nesse sentido, este trabalho propõe a aplicação do conversor fonte- Y entre a geração e a conexão com e rede elétrica, de forma que as ações de conversão relacionadas com a elevação (CC-CC) e inversão (CC-CA) sejam efetuadas de forma integrada por uma única estrutura, contribuindo com a possibilidade de melhoria no rendimento global devido à minimização de estágios de conversão em cascata. Inicialmente, é efetuado um levantamento bibliográfico relacionando as principais topologias de conversores utilizando redes de impedância com indutores acoplados, considerando os aspectos operacionais, arranjo de impedância e ganho estático idealizado, desprezando perdas entre tensão de entrada e tensão máxima de saída obtida. Segue-se o estudo da operação de conversor CCCC empregando rede de impedância do tipo Y, definição das equações que regem o comportamento no tempo das tensões e correntes nos capacitores e indutores. É feita uma avaliação comparativa do ganho estático de tensão obtido e dos esforços nos semicondutores em função das variáveis de controle de projeto e operação disponíveis. Prossegue-se com o estudo da operação do conversor CC-CA empregando rede de impedância do tipo Y, considerando extensão das expressões encontradas para a operação como conversor CC-CC. Por fim, simulações computacionais foram desenvolvidas no ambiente PSIM contemplando o emprego dos circuitos e estratégias de modulação relacionadas com aplicações do conversor fonte- Y, em operação CC-CC e operação CC-CA visando a integração em sistemas de geração de energia, para demonstrar as vantagens e desvantagens do uso dessa topologia.
This paper deals with the study of energy converter topology based on the use of impedance network configuration called Y-source, with the objective of being applied in photovoltaic energy cogeneration systems in low voltage grids. In photovoltaic energy generation systems, it is usually necessary to have a voltage boost stage and an inverter stage, both controlled to produce voltage and / or sine current with the same frequency, amplitude and phase of the power grid. In this sense, this work proposes the application of the Y-source converter between the photovoltaic generation and the connection with the electric grid, so that the conversion actions related to elevation (DC-DC) and inversion (DC-AC) in a way integrated by a single structure, contributing to the possibility of improvement in the overall yield due to the minimization of cascade conversion stages. Initially a bibliographical survey was performed relating the main inverter topologies using impedance networks with coupled inductors considering the operational aspects, impedance arrangement and ideal static gain between the input voltage and the maximum output obtained. ext, the study of the DC-DC converter operation using the Y-type impedance network, definition of the equations governing the time behavior of the voltages and currents in the capacitors and inductors, is presented. It is also done the comparative evaluation of the static voltage gain obtained and the stresses in the semiconductors according to the available control and design control variables. Study of the operation of the DC-AC converter employing type Y impedance network, considering the extension of the expressions found for the operation as DC-DC converter. Finally, computational simulations were developed in the PSIM environment, considering the use of circuits and modulation strategies related to Y-source converter applications, in DC-DC operation and DC-AC operation for integration into power cogeneration systems, to demonstrate advantages and disadvantages of using this topology.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines the design and implementation of a supervisory controller for the energy management of an AC stand-alone microgrid. The microgrid under study consists of a photovoltaic (PV), battery energy storage system (BESS) and auxiliary (micro gas turbine) units connected to a common AC bus and supplies a local load. The BESS unit has to maintain the AC bus voltage and frequency and needs to balance the difference between the intermittent PV power and that consumed by the load. However, the BESS has limited energy capacity and power rating and therefore it is important to implement a supervisory controller that can curtail the PV power to prevent the battery from being overcharged and also to operate the auxiliary unit to prevent the battery from being over discharged. A Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) that can be implemented inside the BESS unit is proposed. It monitors the battery power and State of Charge (SOC) and varies the bus frequency accordingly. The variation in the bus frequency serves as a communication means to the PV and auxiliary units. If the frequency is increased above the nominal value, the PV unit starts to curtail its power and if the frequency is decreased, the auxiliary unit starts to generate power. Power curtailment and supplement are proportional to the frequency variation. In order to avoid any need for communication links between the units, the DC/AC inverters of all the units adopt the well-known wireless droop technique. The droop control of the auxiliary unit is implemented in such a way that the unit is floating on the bus and thus it generates power only if the bus frequency is decreased below its nominal value. The main merits of the proposed controller are simplicity and easiness of implementation inside the BESS unit. The effectiveness of the controller in protecting the battery from over-charging/over-discharging has been verified by simulations including a real-time simulation and experimentally. Furthermore, the thesis investigates the effect of sudden shading of a PV and concentrated PV (CPV) on the bus frequency of an AC stand-alone microgrid. It is known that the CPV power can drop drastically, compared to traditional PV, when it is exposed to shading. A simulation model of the CPV in a microgrid has been built and the results are compared to those of the traditional PV. It is found that shading of the CPV has much more stronger effect on the bus frequency.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThis work presents the development of a novel digital acceleration controller for sinusoidal vibration tests using switching-mode AC power source (ACPS) fed electrodynamic vibration machines. The proposed scheme is based on the interaction of two control loops: one for the shaker's acceleration regulation and another for the ACPS output voltage control. A robust model reference adaptive algorithm (RMRAC) is used in the voltage control loop. To reduce the effects caused by the plant's parameters variations as well harmonic vibrations and resonances of the test specimen, the acceleration feedback controller is augmented with a feedforward and a robust controller. Experimental results show that the proposed system is capable to achieve excellent acceleration reference tracking performance and robustness in the closed loop control from 20 Hz to 200 Hz. Investigations shall be performed to evaluate the response of this scheme when controlling vibrations as fast as 2000 Hz. A specific instrumentation system has been developed to feedback the electrodynamic vibration machine's acceleration. The proposed solution employs piezoelectric accelerometers, voltage mode preamplifiers, circuit for signal conditioning, analog to digital conversion and filtering. A study concerning the commonly used vibration measurement techniques and the design procedure, simulation, implementation and experimental results are described in detail.
Esse trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento de um novo tipo de controlador digital de aceleração para ensaios com vibrações senoidais em máquinas de vibra ção eletrodinâmicas supridas por fontes de potência CA com comutação. O esquema proposto é baseado na interação entre duas malhas de controle: uma para regulação de aceleração da máquina de vibração e outra para ajuste da tensão de saída da fonte de potência CA. Um algoritmo adaptativo robusto por modelo de referência (RMRAC) é utilizado na malha de controle de tensão. Os efeitos de variações paramétricas existentes na planta bem como de vibrações harmônicas e ressonâncias do objeto ensaiado são minimizados com o uso de um controlador feedforward e um controlador feedforward robusto na malha de aceleração. Resultados experimentais demonstram que o sistema proposto é capaz de garantir excelente rastreamento da aceleração de referência e robustez em malha fechada entre 20 Hz e 200 Hz, necessitando ainda de investigação para controle de vibrações tão rápidas quanto 2000 Hz. A realimentação da aceleração da máquina é realizada com o desenvolvimento de uma instrumentação adequada a esse fim. A solução proposta utiliza acelerômetros piezoelétricos, pré-amplificadores modo tensão, circuito para condicionamento de sinais, conversão analógico-digital e filtragem. Um estudo sobre as principais técnicas utilizadas em medições de vibrações bem como a metodologia de projeto, simulação, implementação e testes experimentais são descritos detalhadamente.

This thesis introduces a new method especially designed to control the instantaneous power in voltage sourced converters operating under unbalanced conditions, including positive, negative and zero sequence content. A transformation technique, labelled mno transformation, was developed to enable the decomposition of the total instantaneous power flowing on three-phase transmission topologies into constant and oscillating terms. It is applied to three-wire and four-wire schemes, especially accommodating zero sequence unlike previous approaches. Classical and modern electric power theories are presented, particularly focusing on their definitions for adverse AC scenarios. The main mathematical transformations conceived to analyze such situations are summarized, showing their respective advantages and disadvantages. An enhanced instantaneous power theory is introduced. The novel proposed power equations, named mno instantaneous power components, expands the application of the p-q theory, which is attached to the αβ0 transformation. The mno instantaneous power theory is applied to develop an innovative power control method for grid connected voltage sourced converters in order to minimize power oscillations during adverse AC scenarios, particularly with zero sequence content. The method permits to sustain constant instantaneous three-phase power during unbalanced conditions by controlling independently the constant and the oscillating terms related to the instantaneous power. The effectiveness of the proposed control approach and the proposed power conditioning scheme was demonstrated using electromagnetic transient simulation of a VSC connected to an AC system.May 2017

Full textAbstract:
The rate at which the integration of distributed generation (DG) penetrates the public power supply has started to put various demands on the distribution system, since they are directly connected to the network. Distribution level protection is based on a time-overcurrent design. The design is to clear faults with as little impact and minimum time on the equipment and the customer. The increasing demands placed by grid services on the DGs, especially the PV types have a serious impact on the distribution system. For example, special protective devices are required to prevent the risk of danger in the event of mains interference. In this thesis, the main focus was on the contribution of fault currents to the distribution networks, and how the high penetration of DGs especially the renewable energy resources (R.E.S.) types affect the coordination of overcurrent (O.C.) protection. In view of the changes in the international regulations, the DGs are expected to stay connected and perform grid-related control functions, instead of shutting down at the first sign of a fault. This problem becomes more acute when the DGs stay connected during faults, known as voltage ride through (VRT). This thesis presented its findings on the impact of the DGs of various types of DGs (synchronous generator, asynchronous and power electronic) on the protection coordination by the high increase of fault currents, and the mitigation techniques of the impact of the inverter interfaced DGs (whose fault current contribution was not so high) on the overcurrent protection. The impact on system’s over-current protection coordination in such hybrid AC and DC microgrid, how the fault current changes by the high penetration of DGs in the hybrid microgrid and their effects on the protection over-current coordination were presented, as the name microgrid was adopted for networks having a point of common connection (PCC). The inverter interfaced-equipment were never in the conventional systems, the few that were there were all on the load side of the distribution system. The inverter interfacing DGs (PVs) and the synchronous types are the types of DGs that affect over-current protection of the distribution system and these were mitigated accordingly, considering the first few cycles of the fault events of the ride through capabilities. The analysis of the different penetration levels of the DGs in an existing 33kV in the Nigerian distribution network, (CocaCola-Challenge Industrial feeder) was thoroughly analysed, for less than 20%, more than 60% and 100% of the feeder load. Most of the DGs, presently existing in that network are the synchronous types, but they are only used as standby sources of power, and the renewables (RES) like the photovoltaics (PV), run of flow (RoF) Hydo and the wind turbine generators (WTG) are proposed additions. The objective of this thesis was to explain the fundamentals of distribution generation (DG) and especially the RES, in relation to distribution protection relay coordination to see why there should be urgency in carrying out the study especially in a developing environment where the grid is unstable, the load is rapidly expanding and RES is intermittent. The radial distribution system (DS) with high penetration of DG was introduced. The motive was to critically investigate protection coordination problems and the solutions to the problems. The main objective was to optimally recommend the type, size and location of the DG for an actual distribution feeder in an unstable environment where the grid supply is not steady. The effect of 100% and above of feeder load penetration on such feeders formed the objective of this research. The literature review which was for investigating in greater details the technical aspects of the operation and control of the high penetration of RES in the distribution system were thoroughly analysed. The review of the existing radial distribution protection system and the effects of high penetration of DG on the protective relaying were thoroughly investigated. The issues of power electronic based inverters and the protection coordination problems, were investigated. The protection coordination as regards to fault level changes and grounding, intentional and un-intentional islanding were major important aspects which were treated in the technical review.

L'orientation énergétique actuelle vers le développement de systèmes électriques isolés, s'est traduit par l'établissement de nouvelles directives sur les performances et la fiabilité des structures de puissance mises en oeuvre, en particulier ceux à base d'énergies renouvelables. C'est dans ce contexte que s'inscrivent ces travaux de thèse, qui aboutissent à l'élaboration de nouveaux outils destinés à l'amélioration de la qualité d'énergie et de la stabilité d'un micro-réseau autonome. Concernant l'optimisation énergétique des interfaces de conversion pour un réseau autonome, nous avons développé de nouveaux algorithmes de commande basés sur le concept de platitude des systèmes différentiels. L'avantage de cette technique réside dans la possibilité d'implémentation de régulateurs à une boucle. Cela garantit des propriétés dynamiques élevées en asservissement et en régulation. De plus, une prédiction exacte de l'évolution des variables d'états du système est possible. Concernant la stabilité des micro-réseaux autonomes, nous avons proposé des outils pour traiter les phénomènes d'instabilités, causés notamment par la perte d'informations de charges et par le phénomène de résonance des filtres d'interconnexionThe actual electrical energy demand focuses on the development of stand-alone electrical systems which leads to the definition of new directives on performances and reliability of the electrical structures, especially those based on renewable energy. The main objective of this work concerns the development of new tools to improve the power quality and the stability of autonomous micro-grid systems. In this aim, new control algorithms based on the concept of differential flatness have been developed. The main advantage of the proposed technique is the possibility of implementing one loop controllers ensuring high dynamic properties. In the same time, it allows accurate prediction of the evolution of all state variables of the system. Concerning the stability of the autonomous micro-grid systems, we proposed tools to deal with instability phenomena either caused by the loss of load information and the resonance phenomenon of the passive filters

A abordagem principal desse trabalho é o estudo de técnicas anti-ilhamento ativas com realimentação positiva em um sistema de Geração Distribuída (GD) composto por um Inversor Fonte de Tensão (VSI,do inglês Voltage Source Inverter) e com cargas locais conectadas em paralelo. Na literatura são encontrados dois grupos de técnicas empregadas como proteção anti-ilhamento: as ativas e as passivas. Os métodos de detecção de ilhamento ativos são utilizados, pois possuem menores zonas de não detecção em comparação às técnicas passivas, porém injetam distúrbios contínuos no sistema de GD. Esses distúrbios degradam a qualidade de energia elétrica fornecida pelo conversor eletrônico. Nesse contexto, como escopo dessa dissertação, é realizado o estudo da estrutura de controle empregada no sistema de GD conectado com a rede de distribuição, com o intuito de avaliar o funcionamento do gerenciamento de tensão e de potência ativa e reativa. E em seguida, são discutidas técnicas de detecção de ilhamento ativas em frequência e tensão, ambas, com realimentação positiva e ganho fixo com o objetivo de investigar o desempenho das mesmas em relação ao tempo de detecção e a injeção de distúrbios no sistema de controle da GD. A partir dessa análise, são desenvolvidas técnicas anti-ilhamento com intuito de reduzir a injeção de distúrbios em diferentes pontos de operação da GD e garantir uma eficiência semelhante aos métodos tradicionais em casos de difícil detecção. Essas técnicas são baseadas na implementação do cálculo de um ganho com realimentação positiva variável inversamente proporcional a variação de potência ativa ou reativa entregue a rede. Para validação das propostas presentes nesta dissertação, são obtidos resultados em simulações computacionais e, posteriormente são adquiridos resultados práticos através de uma bancada experimental compatível com o sistema de GD simulado.The main approach of this thesis is the study of active anti-islanding techniques with positive feedback in a Distributed Generation (DG) system composed by a Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) and local loads. In literature two groups of techniques are used as anti-island protection: the active and the passive techniques. The active islanding detection methods are preferably used because of the smaller non-detection zones compared to passive techniques, however they inject continuous disturbances in the DG system, reducing the power quality provided by the VSI. In this context, as the scope of this dissertation, it is firstly carried out the study of control structures employed in grid-tied distribution system, to evaluate the operation of the voltage control loops, and the active-and reactive power managements. Additionally, we discuss active islanding detection techniques in frequency and voltage with positive feedback and constant gain, based on the classical, with the objective of investigating their performance in relation to the detection time and the injection of disturbances in the DG system. From this analysis, antiislanding techniques are developed to guarantee efficiency similar to the traditional methods in cases of small-power flow through the grid and minimize disturbances. These techniques are based on the calculation of the positive feedback variable gain inversely proportional to the deviation of active or reactive power delivered or absorbed from the grid. To validate this proposal, the results are obtained through computational simulations and experimental analysis, as well.

Full textAbstract:
Ces dernières années, un intérêt croissant pour les systèmes électroniques de puissance a été motivé par l'émergence de sources d'énergie distribuées et renouvelables raccordées aux réseaux électriques. Dans ce contexte, la nécessité de topologies de faibles puissances alimentées par quelques modules photovoltaïques, en évitant l'utilisation de transformateurs, a ouvert l'étude de convertisseurs spéciaux et l’étude des stratégies de commande associées afin d’assurer la stabilité, la fiabilité et un rendement élevé du dispositif. Une possible solution est d’utiliser un dispositif générique connu dans la littérature scientifique et commerciale comme « micro-onduleur » ou «convertisseur intégré au module » qui avec le module photovoltaïque définit un produit « plug and play » appelé "module AC".Ce travail est consacré à l'étude d'un micro-onduleur monophasé avec deux étapes sans transformateur raccordée au réseau. La topologie proposée est composé d’un convertisseur DC-DC non isolé élévateur avec un gain quadratique et un onduleur réducteur lié au réseau connectés en cascade. Le convertisseur DC-DC extrait en permanence la puissance maximale du module photovoltaïque malgré les changements dans les conditions environnementales. L'étape DC-AC injecte la puissance extraite par l'étape DC-DC dans le réseau et assure un niveau élevé de qualité de l’énergie. Les efforts de recherche de ce travail sont concentrés sur la mise au point de commandes utilisant comment base, la théorie de contrôle par mode de glissement, qui conduit à une mise en œuvre simple avec une description théorique complète validée á partir de simulations et expérimentations.Après avoir décrit l'état de l’art dans le premier chapitre, le manuscrit est divisé en quatre chapitres, qui sont dédiés respectivement à l’algorithme de recherche du point de puissance maximale (MPPT), á l’étape de conversion DC-DC, á l'étape de conversion DC-AC et finalement au micro-onduleur complet. Un nouvel algorithme de recherche extrémal du point de puissance maximale est développé (SM-ESC). Pour la étape DC-DC, le convertisseur élévateur quadratique avec seulement un interrupteur contrôlé est étudié utilisant le concept de résistance sans perte par mode de glissement (de l’acronyme anglais : Sliding-Mode Loss-Free-Resistor – SM-LFR) afin d’obtenir un gain de tension élevé avec un fonctionnement sûr et compatible avec l’algorithme MPPT. Pour la étape DC-AC, le convertisseur de pont complet est contrôlé comme un onduleur de source de puissance (de l’acronyme anglais : Power Source Inverter - PSI) en utilisant une commande par mode de glissement qui poursuit une référence sinusoïdale de courant de sortie. Cette commande est complétée par une boucle de régulation de la tension du bus DC qui assure une haute qualité d’énergie injectée dans le réseau. Enfin, les trois étapes constitutives sont fusionnées pour obtenir un micro-onduleur complètement contrôlé par la technique de mode de glissement, ce qui constitue le principal résultat et contribution de cette thèseThese last years, a growing interest in power electronic systems has been motivated by the emergence of distributed renewable energy resources and their interconnection with the grid. In this context, the need of low power topologies fed by a few photovoltaic modules avoiding the use of transformers opens the study of special converters and the associated control strategies ensuring stability, reliability and high efficiency. A resulted generic device known in the commercial and scientific literature as “microinverter” or “module integrated converter” performs a plug and play product together with the PV module called an “AC module”.This work is devoted to the study of a transformer-less single-phase double-stage grid-connected microinverter. The proposed topology has a non-isolated high-gain boost type DC-DC converter and a non-isolated buck type DC-AC converter connected in cascade through a DC bus. The DC-DC converter permanently extracts the maximum power of the PV module ensuring at the same time a good performance coping with power changes introduced by the change in the environmental conditions. The DC-AC stage injects the power extracted by the DC-DC stage into the grid ensuring a high level of power quality. The research efforts focus on the involved control functions based on the sliding mode control theory, which leads to a simple implementation with a comprehensive theoretical description validated through simulation and experimental results.After giving the state-of-the-art in the first chapter, the manuscript is divided into four chapters, which are dedicated to the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), the DC-DC stage and its control, the DC-AC stage and its control and the complete microinverter. A new Extremum Seeking Control (ESC) MPPT algorithm is proposed. The single-switch quadratic boost converter is studied operating as a Loss-Free-Resistor (LFR) obtaining a high DC output voltage level with a safe operation. The full-bridge converter is controlled as a Power Source Inverter (PSI) using a simple sliding-mode based tracking law, regulating the voltage of the DC bus and then ensuring a high power quality level in the grid connection. Finally, the three building blocks are merged to obtain a sliding mode controlled microinverter constituting the main result and contribution of the work

The goal of this Masters Thesis research is to evaluate alternative transmission systems from remote wind farms to the main grid using low-frequency AC technology. Low frequency means a frequency lower than nominal frequency (60/50Hz). The low-frequency AC network can be connected to the power grid at major substations via cyclo-converters that provide a low-cost interconnection and synchronization with the main grid. Cyclo-converter technology is utilized to minimize costs which result in systems of 20/16.66 Hz (for 60/50Hz systems respectively). Low frequency transmission has the potential to provide an attractive solution in terms of economics and technical merits.

A strategic research area today is development of polymericproducts made from renewable sources. The ways of utilizingrenewable sources studied in this thesis are using 1)prepolymers obtained by steam treatment of wood and 2) monomersobtainable by fermentation of agricultural products.
Novel hemicellulose-based hydrogels were prepared by usingprepolymers obtained from steam treatment of spruce.Hemicellulose was first modified with well-defined amounts ofmethacrylic functions. Hydrogels were then prepared by radicalpolymerization with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate orpoly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate to form hydrogels. Theradical polymerization reaction was carried out in water usinga redox initiator system. The hydrogels were in generalelastic, soft and easily swollen in water. Frequency sweeptests indicated that the hydrogel system displayed prevailingsolid-like behavior. Comparison of the hemicellulose-basedhydrogels with pure poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-basedhydrogels showed that it was possible to preparehemicellulose-based hydrogels with properties similar to thoseof pure poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-based hydrogels.
Polyester-based materials were prepared by using themonomers 1,3- propanediol and succinic acid obtainable byfermentation. α,ω-Dihydroxyterminatedoligomeric polyesters produced by the thermal polycondensationof 1,3-propanediol and succinic acid were chain-extended toobtain sufficiently high molecular weight. Depending on thechain-extension technology adopted, poly(ester carbonate)s orpoly(ester urethane)s were obtained. In the case of poly(estercarbonate)s, the chain-extended products ofα,ω-dihydroxyterminated oligomeric copolyesters werealso produced using 1,3-propanediol/1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol/succinic acid mixtures toimprove thermal and mechanical properties. Segmented poly(esterether carbonate)s fromα,ω-dihydroxyterminated oligo(propylenesuccinate)s and poly(ethylene glycol) were also synthesized toincrease the hydrophilicity.
Molecular weights and polydispersity were analyzed by SECfor all materials. Their structures were also identified by NMRspectroscopy (1H NMR and 13C NMR). All characterizations werein agreement with the proposed structures. Thermal parameterswere characterized by DSC. Tensile testing anddynamic-mechanical tests were performed and in additionpreliminary processing trials were carried out in some cases.The results demonstrate the feasibility of using monomersderived from renewable sources to build up new polymericstructures endowed with a variety of physical and mechanicalproperties.
