Abstract:
This paper investigates a multilevel combined NPC converter for medium-and high-power energy storage systems and active power filters. The proposed multilevel NPC converter is composed of a parallel connection of multiple NPC converters using the current sharing reactors and involves the phase shifted PWM strategy for better energy quality performance. Using the switching function-based mathematical model, the proposed multilevel converter is evaluated to show the energy quality performance and fault tolerance of an energy storage system or active power filter. In addition, the switching frequency of circulating currents is analyzed to obtain its relationship with the converter parameters and maximum sharing reactor current ripple. The performance of the proposed multilevel converter is verified by simulation.

Abstract:
Efficiency is turning into more and more necessary in power electronics. New applications are developed to reduce the consumption of en-ergy. Inverters that supply continuous quality power have vast use in solar energy based applications. For a Wind Turbine Generation sys-tem with neutral-point-clamped (NPC) topology in a back to back converter , good efficiency is provided when operated at high power. In NPC topology totally twelve switches are present. Input current distortion, torsion vibration and output current distortion is caused by open switch fault within NPC inverter and rectifier of the consecutive converter. Wind Turbine Generation systems will be erroneous due to such faults. Open-switch fault detection methodology is necessary for consecutive converters for enhancing the output of Wind Turbine Genera-tion systems. Our proposed work checks NPC rectifier and inverter for outer and inner open switch faults. Additionally for all the possible open-switch faults , a novel open-switch fault detection methodology within the back to back converter has been presented in this paper.

Abstract:
Modern multi-MW wind generators have used multi-level converter structures as well as parallel configuration of a back to back three-level neutral point clamped (3L-NPC) converters to reduce the voltage and current stress on the semiconductor devices. These configurations of converters for offshore wind energy conversion applications results in high cost, low power density, and complex control circuitry. Moreover, a large number of power devices being used by former topologies results in an expensive and inefficient system. In this paper, a novel bi-directional three-phase hybrid converter that is based on a parallel combination of 3L-NPC and ‘n’ number of Vienna rectifiers have been proposed for multi-MW offshore wind generator applications. In this novel configuration, total power equally distributes by sharing of total reference current in each parallel-connected generator side power converter, which ensures the lower current stress on the semiconductor devices. Newly proposed topology has less number of power devices compared to the conventional configuration of parallel 3L-NPC converters, which results in cost-effective, compact in size, simple control circuitry, and good performance of the system. Three-phase electric grid is considered as a generator source for implementation of a proposed converter. The control scheme for a directly connected three-phase source with a novel configuration of a hybrid converter has been applied to ratify the equal power distribution in each parallel-connected module with good power factor and low current distortion. A parallel combination of a 3L-NPC and 3L-Vienna rectifier with a three-phase electric grid source has been simulated while using MATLAB and then implemented it on hardware. The simulation and experimental results ratify the performance and effectiveness of the proposed system.

Abstract:
Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) converters with n levels are traditionally controlled in such a way that the DC-link capacitors operate at 1/( n - 1) of the total DC-link voltage level. The voltage level across the DC-link capacitors has to be properly regulated by the capacitor unbalance control to contain the harmonic distortion of the converter output voltages. State-of-the-art modulation techniques address the problem of the DC-link voltage regulation for NPC inverters. However, they highly show reduced performance when unbalanced DC-link voltages are considered. In this paper, a novel Space Vector Modulation (SVM) is proposed for NPC converters with an unbalanced DC-link. At every modulation interval, the technique defines the optimal switching pattern by considering the actual unbalanced DC-link conditions. The proposed modulation allows improving the harmonic content of the NPC converter output voltage with respect to a traditional ML-SVM, when the same operating conditions are considered. As an extension, the proposed modulation technique will guarantee the same output voltage quality of a traditional ML-SVM with unbalanced DC-link, while improving the conversion efficiency thanks to a reduction of switching frequency.

Abstract:
In conventional DC link AC-AC converter system, uncontrolled front end converter has inherent problem of power quality. To overcome the problem associated with uncontrolled front end converter, multilevel front end converter will be good choice for high power applications. In the paper, unity power factor control system (UPC) for active front end (AFE) neutral point clamped (NPC) 3-level converter is presented. PI controllers are used in UPC and for tuning of PI controllers it is essentially required to know the different time constants with their gains exactly for evaluating the optimized controller parameters for steady operation of the NPC rectifier. In this paper a simplified and accurate method of online tuning of PI controllers in UPC is derived and implemented for three phase AFE NPC 3-level converter. Complete design procedure for the design of control system for AFE NPC 3-level is also presented in this paper. Based on developed model, simulations are carried in MATLAB/SIMULIK environment. Experimentation results confirm the simulation results.

Abstract:
The battery is the only power source of full electric vehicles, and the converter plays a key role in power and signal conversion; therefore, the stability and reliability of the converter determine the performance of the whole vehicle system. In order to improve the overall performance of the converter and optimize the function of the ID-NPC (improved diode neutral-point-clamped) topology with power allocation, the two-level topology is improved, and it is also a part of the ID-NPC topology. Based on the ID-NPC topology, the converter level can switch according to the proposed three-level and two-level modulation conversion strategies, which extends the fault-tolerant function of the converter. Finally, a simulation and experimental platform is built to verify the function of the improved topology and the feasibility of the proposed modulation strategy.

Abstract:
f the ratio of NPC/H and H bridge hybrid multilevel converters DC supply voltage changed, the output voltage PWM waveform will be discontinuous. Thus an improved topology and control strategy is proposed. In new method, master converter operates at the fundamental frequency based on command voltage, slave converter adopts carrier phase shifted PWM technology (CPS-SPWM) at a higher frequency to enhance the quality of output voltage waveform. The amplitude of command voltage is higher than output voltage amplitude of the master converter at any time, to ensure that output voltage variation of both converters keeps in the same direction without any current flow backwards. Matlab simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy and topology.

Abstract:
Low-voltage direct current (LVDC) distribution has attracted attention due to increased DC loads, the popularization of electric vehicles, energy storage systems (ESS), and renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV). This paper studies a ±750 V bipolar DC distribution system and applies a 3-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) AC/DC converter for LVDC distribution. However, the 3-level NPC converter is fundamental in the neutral-point (NP) imbalance problem. This paper discusses the NP balance control method using zero-sequence voltage among various solutions to solve NP imbalance. However, since the zero-sequence voltage for NP balance control is limited, the NP voltage cannot be controlled to be balanced when extreme load differences occur. To maintain microgrid stability with bipolar LVDC distribution, it is necessary to control the NP voltage balance, even in an imbalance of extreme load. In addition, due to the bipolar LVDC distribution, the pole where a short-circuit condition occurs limits the short current until the circuit breaker operates, and a pole without a short-circuit condition must supply a stable voltage. Since the conventional 3-level NPC AC/DC converter alone cannot satisfy both functions, an additional DC/DC converter is proposed, analyzed, and verified. This paper is about a 3-level NPC AC/DC converter system for LVDC distribution. It can be used for the imbalance and short-circuit condition in bipolar LVDC distribution through the prototype of the 300 kW 3-level NPC AC/DC converter system and experimented and verified in various conditions.

Abstract:
Abstract In low power distributed generation systems low cost together with the energy quality requirements are a key element. It is known that quality of voltage waveforms generated from multilevel converters is better in comparison with those from two-level. Due to advancements in power electronics and microcontrollers, multilevel converters are being built with the use of integrated power modules thus this type of converters are getting more compact in size. This paper investigates performance of a derivation from the most popular multilevel topology - a neutral point clamped converter (NPC). Applying the idea for simplifying the topology by reducing the number of switches (what came from drives) this NPC converter is capable of bidirectional AC/DC/AC operation. For the AC/DC part two schemes are tested: Direct Torque Control Space Vector Modulated and Field Oriented Control but for the DC/AC part a control scheme utilizing the proportional-resonant controller was chosen. Laboratory setup was based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator with control and acquisition completed with the help of dSpace 1005 control box. Experimental verification shows that system operates properly.

Abstract:
L’intégration croissante de la Génération Distribuée basée sur des sources d’énergies renouvelables présente de nouveaux défis pour le réseau électrique centralisé actuel. Le micro-réseau est une des alternatives envisagées afin d’augmenter le taux de pénétration d’énergie renouvelable et d’améliorer la qualité de l’énergie. La stabilité d’un micro-réseau est fortement sensible aux variations de puissance venant des sources d’énergie ou des charges. Dans ce contexte, un système de stockage d’énergie joue un rôle essentiel et doit satisfaire deux conditions : disposer d’une capacité de stockage importante pour adapter la production à la demande et être capable de fournir rapidement une puissance instantanée suffisante pour pallier les problèmes de qualité d’énergie. L’objectif principal de cette thèse est de concevoir et valider expérimentalement un système de conversion de puissance et l’algorithme de contrôle associé pour la gestion du stockage dans un micro-réseau afin de satisfaire les deux conditions. Suite à l’analyse de différentes technologies de stockage, on peut conclure qu’il n’y a pas de système de stockage capable de satisfaire les conditions d’énergie et de puissance en même temps. Par conséquent, l’association d’un supercondensateur et d’une batterie Redox au Vanadium dans un Système de Stockage Hybride est utilisée pour satisfaire les conditions mentionnées. Le travail de recherche est axé sur la gestion du flux d’énergie et de puissance du Système de Stockage Hybride proposé à l’aide d’un système de conversion de puissance innovant et son algorithme de commande. Un convertisseur multi-niveaux 3LNPC a été choisi pour commander en même temps les deux systèmes de stockage, en raison de faibles pertes de puissance et de distorsions harmoniques réduites en comparaison avec d’autres topologies existantes. Un algorithme de commande capable d’exploiter les limites de fonctionnement du convertisseur sur toute sa plage de fonctionnement a été conçu afin de satisfaire de manière optimale les critères spécifiés. Le fonctionnement du système de conversion et la stratégie de commande proposée ont été validés d’abord en simulation et ensuite expérimentalement en utilisant le micro-réseau installé à l’ESTIA
The increasing penetration of Distributed Generation systems based on Renewable Energy Sources is introducing new challenges in the current centralised electric grid. The microgrid is one of the alternatives that is being analysed in order to increase the penetration level of renewable energy sources in electrical grids and improve the power quality. The microgrid stability is highly sensitive to power variations coming from the energy sources or loads. In this context, an energy storage system is essential and it must satisfy two criteria: to have a high storage capacity to adapt the generation to the demand and to be able to supply fast power variations to overcome the power quality problems that may arise. The main objective of this thesis has been to design a power conversion system and the associated control algorithm for a storage system management in order to satisfy the defined requirements, as well as to experimentally validate the proposed solution. After an analysis of different storage system technologies, it can be concluded that there is not any storage system capable of offering the energy and power requirements at the same time. Consequently, the association of a SuperCapacitor bank and a Vanadium Redox Battery is used to satisfy the mentioned requirements. This thesis has been focused on the power and energy flow management of the proposed Hybrid Energy Storage System through an innovative power conversion system and its control method. A Three-Level Neutral Point Clamped converter has been used to control at the same time the two storage systems, due to the reduced power losses and harmonic distortion compared to other existing topologies. A control algorithm that uses the operational limits of the converter in its entire operation range has been designed in order to allow selecting the best operation point according to the specified criteria. The operation of the power conversion system and the proposed control method have been first validated in simulations and then experimentally using the microgrid installed in ESTIA

Abstract:
The still increasing demand of electrical energy and the rising popularity of renewable energy sources in today's world are two important developments that necessitate the need for innovative solutions in the field of power electronics. Parallel operation of converters is one possible method in trying to bridge an increased current demand. The classical two-level converters, which are the standard in low voltage applications, are rarely adopted in medium and high voltage applications due to the voltage limits on power semiconductor devices. That is one reason for the growing popularity of multilevel converter topologies in medium and high-voltage applications. Although an increase in the number of voltage levels of a multilevel converter has its advantages, there are also challenges posed due to the increased number of switching devices. This has resulted in three-level converters being the most popular compared to converters of higher voltage levels. In this dissertation, the unified operation of parallel connected three-level converter units as a multilevel converter of higher voltage levels is proposed. The mathematical basis for operating parallel connected converter units as a single multilevel converter and the governing equations for such systems are derived. The analysis and the understanding of these equations are important for assessing practicality of the system and devising appropriate control structures. Parallel operation of converter units operating as multilevel converter have their own set of challenges, the two foremost being that of load-sharing and the possibility of circulating and cross currents. Developing solutions to address these challenges require a thorough understanding of how these manifest in the proposed system. Algorithms are then developed for tackling these issues. The control structures are designed and the developed algorithms are implemented. The operation of the system is verified experimentally
Die weiterhin steigende Nachfrage nach elektrischer Energie und die zunehmende Verwendung erneuerbarer Energiequellen in der heutigen Welt sind zwei wichtige Entwicklungen, die die Notwendigkeit innovativer Lösungen im Bereich der Leistungselektronik erfordern. Der Parallelbetrieb von Stromrichtern ist eine mögliche Methode, um einen erhöhten Strombedarf zu decken. Der klassische Zweipunkt-Spanungszwischenkreisstromrichter, der bei Niederspannungsanwendungen weit verbreitet ist, wird aufgrund der Spannungsgrenzen für Leistungshalbleiterbauelemente zunehmend weniger in Mittel- und Hochspannungsanwendungen eingesetzt. Die begrenzte Spannungsbelastbarkeit der Leistungshalbleiterbauelemente ist ein Grund für die wachsende Beliebtheit von Mehrpunkt-Stromrichtertopologien in Mittelund Hochspannungsanwendungen. Obwohl eine Erhöhung der Anzahl der Spannungsstufen eines Mehrpunkt-Stromrichters Vorteile hat, gibt es auch Herausforderungen und Nachteile aufgrund der erhöhten Anzahl von Leistungshalbleitern. Dies hat dazu geführt, dass der Dreipunkt-Stromrichter die verbreiteste Topologie im Vergleich zu anderen Stromrichtern mit einer höheren Anzahl von Spannungsstufen ist. In dieser Dissertation wird der Betrieb von parallel geschalteten Dreipunkt-Stromrichtereinheiten als ein Mehrpunkt-Stromrichter mit erhöhter Anzahl an Spannungsstufen vorgeschlagen. Die mathematische Basis für den Betrieb von parallel geschalteten Stromrichtereinheiten als ein Mehrpunkt-Stromrichter und die beschreibenden Gleichungen eines solchen Systems werden abgeleitet. Die Analyse und das Verständnis dieser Gleichungen sind wichtig für die Beurteilung der Praktikabilität des Systems und die Erarbeitung geeigneter Regelstrukturen. Der parallele Betrieb von Stromrichtereinheiten hat seine eigenen Herausforderungen, wobei die beiden wichtigsten die Lastverteilung und die Möglichkeit von Kreis- und Querströmen sind. Die Entwicklung von Lösungen zur Bewältigung dieser Herausforderungen erfordert ein gründliches Verständnis dafür, wie sich diese Phänomene in dem vorgeschlagenen System manifestieren. Algorithmen zur Lösung dieser Probleme werden anschlieend entwickelt. Die Regelstrukturen werden entworfen und die entworfenen Algorithmen implementiert. Die Funktionsweise des Systems wird experimentell überprüft

Abstract:
The high penetration of renewable energy and the emerging concept of micro-grid system raises challenges to the high power conversion techniques. Multilevel converter plays the key role in such applications and is studied in detail in the dissertation. The topologies and modulation techniques for multilevel converter are categorized at first by a thorough literature survey. The pros and cons for various multilevel topologies and modulation techniques are discussed. The 3-level neutral point clamped (NPC) topology is selected to build a 200kVA, 20 kHz power conversion system. The modularized phase leg building block of the converter is carefully designed to achieve low loss and stress for high frequency and high power operation. The switching characteristics for all the commutation loops of 3-level phase leg are evaluated by double pulse tests. The switching performance is optimized for loss and stress tradeoff. A detailed loss model is built for system loss distribution and loss breakdown calculation. Loss and stress for the phase leg and 3-phase system are quantified at all power factors. The space vector modulation (SVM) for 3-level NPC converter is investigated to achieve loss reduction, neutral voltage balance and noise reduction. The loss model and simulation model provides a quantitative analysis for loss and neutral voltage ripple tradeoff. An improved SVM method is proposed to reduce NP imbalance and switching loss simultaneously. This method also ensures an evenly distributed device loss in each phase leg and gives a constant system efficiency under different power factors. Based on the improved modulation strategy, a new modulation scheme is then proposed with largely reduced conduction loss and switching stress. Moreover, the device loss and stress distribution on a phase leg is more even. This scheme also features on the simplified implementation. The improved switching characteristics for the proposed method are verified by double pulse tests. Also the system loss breakdown and the phase leg loss distribution analysis shows the loss reduction and redistribution result. The harmonic filter for the grid interface converter is designed with LCL topology. A detailed inductor current ripple analysis derives the maximum inductor current ripple and the ripple distribution in a line cycle. The inverter side inductor is designed with the optimum loss and size trade-off. The grid side inductor is designed based on grid code attenuation requirement. Different damping circuits for LCL filter are evaluated in detail. The filter design is verified by both simulation and hardware experiment. The average model for the 3-level NPC converter and its equivalent circuit is derived with the consideration of damping circuit in both ABC and d-q frame. The modeling and control loop design is verified by transfer function measurement on real hardware. The control loops design is also tested and verified on real hardware. The interleaved DC/DC chopper is introduced at last. The different interleaving methods and their current ripple are analyzed in detail with the coupled and non-coupled inductor. An integrated coupled inductor based on 3-dimentional core structure is proposed to achieve high power density and provide both CM and DM impedance for the inductor current and output current.

Abstract:
Das Ziel der Arbeit war die Untersuchung eines neuartigen Phasenbausteins mit der Topologie des Dreipunkt – Neutral Point Clamped – Stromrichters mit Spannungszwischenkreis (3L-NPC-VSC) für Windkraftanwendungen. Wichtige Anforderungen an den Phasenbaustein und daraus resultierende Herausforderungen, sowie Lösungen für ausgewählte Teilprobleme werden präsentiert. Um die Vorteile des 3L-NPC-VSC für Hersteller von Windkraftanlagen zugänglich zu machen, ist es sinnvoll, einen neuartigen Phasenbaustein zu entwickeln. Der Phasenbaustein soll einfach in Systeme zu integrieren sein, in denen gegenwärtig Zweipunktstromrichter (2L-VSC) zum Einsatz kommen. Da sich Modulation, Zwischenkreisbalancierung und Kurzschlussschutz vom 2L-VSC unterscheiden, soll der Phasenbaustein diese Herausforderungen eigenständig bewältigen. Die Arbeit beschreibt die Konzeption eines solchen Phasenbausteins und behandelt insbesondere die Modulation, die Zwischenkreisbalancierung und den Kurzschlussschutz des 3L-NPC-VSC. Ein Vergleich verschiedener Modulationsverfahren wurde durchgeführt und die am besten geeigneten Verfahren für die Implementation in den Phasenbaustein ausgewählt. Eine Anforderung war, dass dieser Signale einer übergeordneten Regelung verarbeiten kann, welche für einen 2L-VSC berechnet wurden. Ein Überblick der Zwischenkreisbalancierungsverfahren zeigte, dass nahezu alle den Nachteil einer zusätzlich benötigten Strommessung haben. Die Untersuchung einer neuen an der Professur Leistungselektronik der TU Dresden entwickelten Methode ohne den Bedarf der Strommessung zeigte, dass diese anwendbar ist. Der Algorithmus wurde simuliert, implementiert und experimentell getestet und zeigte gute Resultate. Die Aufgabe eines komplett unabhängigen Kurzschlussschutzes war die schwierigste. Alle möglichen Fehler innerhalb eines Moduls wurden analysiert und kategorisiert. Einige Fehlertypen können innerhalb einer Phase behandelt werden. Entsprechende Algorithmen wurden entwickelt und getestet. Allerdings gibt es Fehlertypen, die nicht durch die Steuerung einer einzelnen Phase behandelt werden können. Eine schnelle Kommunikation zwischen den drei Phasen des Konverters wäre notwendig. Alternativ könnte eine übergeordnete Steuerung diese Fehler behandeln. Zum Schluss wurde ein Demonstrator des Phasenbausteins aufgebaut und experimentell untersucht. Einige Messergebnisse werden gezeigt, um die Funktion zu verifizieren.

Abstract:
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit einem detaillierten Vergleich von Mehrpunkt-Schaltungstopologien mit zentralem Gleichspannungszwischenkreis für den Einsatz in Mittelspannungsanwendungen. Im Rahmen dieser Untersuchungen wird die 3-Level Neutral Point Clamped Spannungswechselrichter Schaltungstopologie (3L-NPC VSC) sowohl mit Multilevel Flying Capacitor (FLC) als auch mit Multilevel Stacked Multicell (SMC) Schaltungstopologien verglichen, wobei unter Verwendung von aktuell verfügbaren IGBT-Modulen Stromrichterausgangsspannungen von 2.3 kV, 4.16 kV und 6.6 kV betrachtet werden. Neben der grundlegenden Funktionsweise wird die Auslegung der aktiven Leistungshalbleiter und der passiven Energiespeicher (Zwischenkreiskondensatoren, Flying Capacitors) für die untersuchten Stromrichtertopologien dargestellt. Unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Modulationsverfahren und Schaltfrequenzen werden Kennwerte für den Oberschwingungsgehalt in der Ausgangsspannung und dem Ausgangsstrom vergleichend evaluiert. Die installierte Schalterleistungen, die Halbleiterausnutzungsfaktoren, die Stromrichterverlustleistungen sowie die Verlustleistungsverteilungen werden für die betrachteten Stromrichtertopologien detailliert gegenübergestellt und bewertet

Abstract:
Nowadays, power converters play a fundamental role in the conditioning and processing of active and reactive power, and are directly related to power quality indexes. In this sense, new multi-level converter topologies have been integrated in order to provide higher power processing capacity with lower harmonic distortion, switch stress, heating, and losses. The use of these structures compared to conventional two-level converters is especially suitable for high power of the order of megawatt. Considering the relevance of this approach, this paper presents a comparative performance analysis among the conventional two-level topology (2L-VSC) and two multilevel topologies in a grid-connected system: neutral point clamped (NPC) and modular multilevel converter (MMC). Simulation test results present the impacts on voltages and currents for the switches and the whole system, as well as the evaluation of the total harmonic distortion (THD) in order to highlight the crucial points of each topology for this kind of application.
