  • A Cascaded DC-AC-AC Grid-Tied Converter for PV Plants with AC-Link

Vasquez 2 1 Engineering Department, Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi, Dr. Manuel Nava No. 8, Col.

Abstract: Cascaded multilevel converters based on medium-frequency (MF) AC-links have been proposed as alternatives to the traditional low-voltage inverter, which uses a bulky low-frequency transformer step-up voltage to medium voltage (MV) levels. In this paper, a three-phase cascaded DC-AC-AC converter with AC-link for medium-voltage applications is proposed. Three stages integrate each DC-AC-AC converter (cell): a MF square voltage generator; a MF transformer with four windings; and an AC-AC converter. Then, k DC-AC-AC converters are cascaded to generate the multilevel topology. This converter’s topological structure avoids the per-phase imbalance; this simplifies the control and reduces the problem only to solve the per-cell unbalance. Two sets of simulations were performed to verify the converter’s operation (off-grid and grid-connected modes). Finally, the papers present two reduced preliminary laboratory prototypes, one validating the cascaded configuration and the other validating the three-phase configuration.

  • Impact of Converter Interfaced Generation and Load on Grid Performance
    Impact of Converter Interfaced Generation and Load on Grid Performance by Deepak Ramasubramanian A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved January 2017 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Vijay Vittal, Chair John Undrill Raja Ayyanar Jiangchao Qin ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2017 ABSTRACT Alternate sources of energy such as wind, solar photovoltaic and fuel cells are coupled to the power grid with the help of solid state converters. Continued deregulation of the power sector coupled with favorable government incentives has resulted in the rapid growth of renewable energy sources connected to the distribution system at a voltage level of 34.5kV or below. Of late, many utilities are also investing in these alternate sources of energy with the point of interconnection with the power grid being at the transmission level. These converter interfaced generation along with their associated control have the ability to provide the advantage of fast control of frequency, voltage, active, and reactive power. However, their ability to provide stability in a large system is yet to be investigated in detail. This is the primary objective of this research. In the future, along with an increase in the percentage of converter interfaced renewable energy sources connected to the transmission network, there exists a possi- bility of even connecting synchronous machines to the grid through converters. Thus, all sources of energy can be expected to be coupled to the grid through converters. The control and operation of such a grid will be unlike anything that has been en- countered till now.

  • The Influence of HVDC Transmission on AC Networks
    TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION The infl uence of HVDC transmission on AC networks Information from Cigré The use of HVDC links between regions within an AC network is becoming increasing important because of the growing challenge of network development. The lack of public acceptance of new overhead lines delays the process. Therefore, more and more underground connections are considered inside AC networks to replace traditional overhead lines, operating in parallel with existing AC lines. The first commercial high voltage direct most effective utilisation of these assets HVDC submarine cable started operation in current ( HVDC) installations date back to in transmission networks. The notion of 1954. This system used mercury arc valves, the 1950s. Nowadays, HVDC technologies "embedded HVDC systems" is defined for which required constant maintenance and are in widespread use worldwide and the purpose of this article as follows: rebuilding.

  • Power Converter Circuits for Voltage Boosting, Balancing and Reliable Operation of Energy Systems
    POWER CONVERTER CIRCUITS FOR VOLTAGE BOOSTING, BALANCING AND RELIABLE OPERATION OF ENERGY SYSTEMS By Wei Qian A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 2011 ABSTRACT POWER CONVERTER CIRCUITS FOR VOLTAGE BOOSTING, BALANCING AND RELIABLE OPERATION OF ENERGY SYSTEMS By Wei Qian Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and alternative energy have received growing attention nowadays, due to their contribution to the sustainable development. In these systems, power electronic circuits play a key role in bridging over the differences between sources and loads. The thesis investigates power converters to interface the energy sources and to prolong the life of the critical energy storage devices. The boost converter in commercial HEV powertrains meets obstacles to upgrading the rating while downsizing the converter. A four-level dc-dc converter, and its special case―a 3X dc-dc converter that operates at three discrete voltage ratios, can overcome the drawbacks by dramatically reducing the inductance requirement. The operating principles, the current ripple, the power loss analysis and a clamping circuit are introduced. The concept is verified by the experimental results from two 30-kW and 55-kW prototypes. Yet, for other applications like FC, PV and TEG, it is beyond the ability of the 3X dc-dc converter to attain high boost gain. Thus, a new switched-capacitor dc-dc converter is proposed. The component cost comparison and the power loss analysis demonstrate its many features such as low component power rating and count, low capacitance requirement, light weight and high efficiency.

Increased hurricane activity and earlier hurricane seasons, along with longer and extreme heat waves are examples of the effects of climate change and the critical importance of reducing the production of greenhouse gases. President Biden has pledged “a federal investment of $1.7 trillion over the next three years” to bring about a “Clean Energy Revolution” informed by the principles of “Environmental Justice” (Biden and Harris Campaign Website, 2020). With more electric vehicles being introduced, more e-cycles on the streets of major cities, and a renewed emphasis on connecting renewable energy to the existing electrical grid, there is a pressing need for more energy, cleaner sources, and new infrastructure to address this transition. This transition to a low-carbon future is urgent work that will require intense focus from policymakers, binding GHG reduction commitments throughout the economy, and both public and private investment in clean energy generation and transmission. While we all gain by taking swift action to address climate change, how these new clean energy assets are developed and deployed will determine which communities reap the benefits of this transition and which will bear the principal burdens.

It presents an overview of existing multimode rectifiers. Their use enables operation in the wide input voltage range needed in highly demanding applications. Owing to the rectifier mode changes, the converter duty cycle can be restricted to a range with a favorable efficiency. It is shown that the performance of such converters depends on the front-end inverter type. The study considers current- and impedance-source front-end topologies, as they are the most relevant in high step-up applications. It is explained why the full- and half-bridge implementations provide essentially different performances. Unlike the half-bridge, the full-bridge implementation shows step changes in efficiency during the rectifier mode changes, which could compromise the long-term reliability of the converter. The theoretical predictions are corroborated by experimental examples to compare performance with different boost front-end inverters.

  • Full-Scale Medium-Voltage Converters for Wind Power Generators up to 7 MVA 1 Introduction
    Full-Scale Medium-Voltage Converters for Wind Power Generators up to 7 MVA Philippe Maibach, Alexander Faulstich, Markus Eichler, Stephen Dewar ABB Switzerland Ltd CH-5300 Turgi, Switzerland Phone: +41 58 58 9 32 35 Fax: +41 58 58 9 26 18 E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] URL: www.abb.com „Abstract“ The ongoing increase in the share of wind power in installed generation capacity continuously increasing number of wind power plants brought into operation forces the transmission system operators (TSO) to tighten their grid connection rules in order to limit the effects on network quality. These new rules demand that wind power plants and farms support the electricity network throughout their operation. Wind turbines using full-scale converters include several advantages and are most suitable to be adapted flexibly to different grid requirements without the need for additional reactive power compensation equipment. With larger turbine unit sizes, medium-voltage converter systems are suitable for the corresponding high power. Based on platforms widely used for industrial drives applications, ABB has successfully applied reliable medium-voltage converter technology to wind power. Keywords: “IGCT”, “Permanent magnet generator”, “Wind generator systems”, “Voltage Source Inverters”, “Grid code” 1 Introduction In the early days of the wind power industry, wind turbine manufacturers developed lower power wind turbines, which were installed as single units or in small groups at a given location. Increasingly higher power turbines are installed and grouped into large farms or wind power stations. The turbine manufacturers are faced with a number of challenges such as larger and heavier mechanical structures, more severe safety issues, environmental compatibility issues, handling high electrical power within the nacelle and tower, and last but not least the set-up of wind parks and connecting them to the distribution or transmission grid.

The solid state transformer (SST) is expected to play an essential role in future smart grid topologies. Unlike traditional magnetic transformer, SST is flexible enough to be of modular construction, enabling bi-directional power flow and can be employed for AC and DC grids. Moreover, SSTs can control the voltage level and modulate both active and reactive power at the point of common coupling without the need to external flexible AC transmission system device as per the current practice in conventional electricity grids. The rapid advancement in power semiconductors switching speed and power handling capacity will soon allow for the commercialisation of grid-rated SSTs. This paper is aimed at introducing a state-of-the-art review for SST proposed topologies, controllers, and applications. Additionally, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis along with a brief review of market drivers for prospective commercialisation are elaborated.
