R. China, 1996 M.S., Chongqing University, P. R. China, 1999 M.S., University of Central Florida, USA, 2004 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2007 Major Professor: Issa Batarseh © 2007 Yangyang Wen ii ABSTRACT The power requirements for leading edge digital integrated circuits have become increasingly demanding. Power converter systems must be faster, more flexible, more precisely controllable and easily monitored. Meanwhile, in addition to control process, the new functions such as power sequencing, communication with other systems, voltage dynamic programming, load line specifications, phase current balance, protection, power status monitoring and system diagnosis are going into today’s power supply systems. Digital controllers, compared with analog controllers, are in a favorable position to provide basic feedback control as well as those power management functions with lower cost and great flexibility. The dissertation gives an overview of digital controlled power supply systems by comparing with conventional analog controlled power systems in term of system architecture, modeling methods, and design approaches. In addition, digital power management, as one of the most valuable and “cheap” function, is introduced in Chapter 2. Based on a leading-edge digital controller product, Chapter 3 focuses on digital PID compensator design methodologies, design issues, and optimization and development of digital controlled single-phase point-of-load (POL) dc-dc converter. Nonlinear control is another valuable advantage of digital controllers over analog controllers. Based on the modeling of an isolated half-bridge dc-dc converter, a nonlinear control method is proposed in Chapter 4. Nonlinear adaptive PID compensation scheme is implemented based on digital controller Si8250. The variable PID coefficient during transients improves power system’s transient response and thus output capacitance can be reduced to save cost. In iii Chapter 5, another nonlinear compensation algorithm is proposed for asymmetric flyback- forward half bridge dc-dc converter to reduce the system loop gain’s dependence on the input voltage, and improve the system’s dynamic response at high input line. In Chapter 6, a unified pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme is proposed to extend the duty-cycle-shift (DCS) control, where PWM pattern is adaptively generated according to the input voltage level, such that the power converter’s voltage stress are reduced and efficiency is improved. With the great flexibility of digital PWM modulation offered by the digital controller Si8250, the proposed control scheme is implemented and verified. Conclusion of the dissertation work and suggestions for future work in related directions are given in final Chapter. iv This document is dedicated to my parents. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my advisor, Dr. Issa Batarseh, for his for his guidance, encouragement and support.

    Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto Traction Control in Electric Vehicles Tiago Oliveira Bastos Pinto de Sá Dissertation prepared under the Master in Electrical and Computers Engineering Major Automation Supervisor: Adriano Carvalho July 2012 © Tiago Sá, 2012 ii To my mother and grandma iii iv Resumo O sector dos transportes é um dos maiores setores industriais hoje em dia. Desde o desenvolvimento do motor de combustão interna e da sua aplicação ao setor dos transportes, as pessoas estão cada vez mais dependentes de uma forma económica e confortável de viajar. Com o aumento do preço dos combustíveis fósseis causado pela sua procura excessiva, e com as recentes preocupações ambientais relativas à emissão de gases poluentes gerados pela queima do combustível, a existência de uma alternativa é fulcral. A forma de transporte alternativo mais comum num ambiente urbano é o autocarro. É mais barato, mais conveniente em determinados casos e produz menos poluição per capita do que um carro próprio. No entanto, continua a poluir. Com isto em mente, e com a recente eminência dos motores elétricos no setor dos transportes, é analisado o controlo de motores síncronos de ímanes permanentes, em particular a aplicação de um de 150kW num autocarro elétrico. O objetivo deste documento é analisar o domínio do controlo na mobilidade elétrica e discutir o projeto do controlador que alimenta o motor, permitindo o seu acionamento e travagem, com a possibilidade de regenerar a energia da travagem, recarregando dessa forma as baterias. O sistema deverá ser capaz de funcionar sem sensores de velocidade ou posição. Pretende-se validar os resultados obtidos na simulação aplicando um motor menos potente do que o objetivo final, de forma a poder validar laboratorialmente esses mesmos resultados.

We propose two different implementations: in the first one (Single Hardware in The Loop: SHIL), both model and control laws are inserted in the same Digital Signal Processor (DSP), and in the second approach (Double Hardware in The Loop: DHIL), the equations are loaded in different embedded systems. With this methodology, linear and nonlinear control techniques can be designed and compared in a quick and cheap real-time realization of the proposed systems, ideal for both students and engineers who are interested in learning and validating converters performance. The methodology can be applied to buck, boost, buck-boost, flyback, SEPIC and 3-phase AC-DC boost converters showing that the new and high performance embedded systems can evaluate distinct nonlinear controllers.

In order for this market to continue to grow, there are a number of technical issues which must be overcome. One such issue is the instability of power supplies which rely on unpredictable natural resources. A popular solution to this problem is the use of a number of complementary renewable power sources to create a stable power network serving a small geographical area. In this project, a novel control solution for such a system is proposed and modelled using a new approach.
