文摘With the rapid integration of renewable energy sources,modern power systems are increasingly challenged by heightened volatility and uncertainty.Doubly-fed variable-speed pumped storage units(DFVS-PSUs)have emerged as promising technologies for mitigating grid oscillations and enhancing system flexibility.However,the excitation converters in DFVS-PSUs are prone to significant issues such as elevated common-mode voltage(CMV)and neutral-point voltage(NPV)fluctuations,which can lead to electromagnetic interference and degrade transient performance.To address these challenges,an optimized virtual space vector pulse width modulation(OVSVPWM)strategy is proposed,aiming to suppress CMV and NPV simultaneously through coordinated multi-objective control.Specifically,a dynamic feedback mechanism is introduced to adjust the balancing factor of basic vectors in the synthesized virtual small vector in real-time,achieving autonomous balancing of the NPV.To address the excessive switching actions introduced by the OVSVPWM strategy,a phase duty ratio-based sequence reconstruction method is adopted,which reduces the total number of switching actions to half of the original.A zero-level buffering scheme is employed to reconstruct the single-phase voltage-level output sequence,achieving peak CMV suppression down to udc/6.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed strategy significantly improves electromagnetic compatibility and operational stability while maintaining high power quality.

文摘The utilization of hybrid energy systems has necessitated to address the various Power Quality(PQ)concerns in Distributed Generation(DG)networks.Owing to the emergence of DG networks in recent times,it is envisaged for every utility⁃grid⁃tied system to generate and utilize harmonic⁃less electric power.Therefore,the present research critically evaluates the operation of a utility⁃grid coordinated DG system and studies its islanding operation under faulted conditions.To achieve this,an Anti⁃Islanding Protection(AIP)scheme is developed which is capable of controlling the frequency and voltage variations.This scheme is operated by a coordinated operation of multivibrators.Their operation continuously traces the pre⁃defined limits of voltage,reactive,and real power,and matches with their reference values to avoid mismatch.It is revealed that,if the mismatched values of real and reactive power exceeded its threshold value of 0.1 p.u.,then the islanding condition is detected.Especially,the proposed system is assessed in two modes:utility⁃grid and islanding modes.In utility⁃grid mode,reactive power compensation is obtained by the control of voltage and frequency signals.However,in islanding mode,the real power requirement of the connected load is obtained with reduced harmonics under unsymmetrical faulted conditions.Incremental Conductance(IC)based Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT)technique ensures the extraction of maximum power under varying and stochastically atmospheric conditions.Simulation results reveal that the AIP scheme promptly disconnects the utility grid from the DG network in the minimum time during dynamic variations in frequency and voltage to prevent islanding.It is justified that there is violation of the considered threshold limits even under the faulted condition.The strategy of the switchgear scheme ensures the minimum detection time of the islanding operation.Total Harmonic Distortion(THD)is 0.26%for grid voltage.It validates according to the IEEE⁃1547 standard which stipulates that the THD of grid voltage must be less than 5%.Overall,satisfactory and accurate results are obtained,which are compared with the IEEE⁃1547 standard for validation.

文摘This paper deeply introduces a brand-new research method for the synchronous characteristics of DC microgrid bus voltage and an improved synchronous control strategy.This method mainly targets the problem of bus voltage oscillation caused by the bifurcation behavior of DC microgrid converters.Firstly,the article elaborately establishes a mathematical model of a single distributed power source with hierarchical control.On this basis,a smallworld network model that can better adapt to the topology structure of DC microgrids is further constructed.Then,a voltage synchronization analysis method based on the main stability function is proposed,and the synchronous characteristics of DC bus voltage are deeply studied by analyzing the size of the minimum non-zero eigenvalue.In view of the situation that the line coupling strength between distributed power sources is insufficient to achieve bus voltage synchronization,this paper innovatively proposes a new improved adaptive controller to effectively control voltage synchronization.And the convergence of the designed controller is strictly proved by using Lyapunov’s stability theorem.Finally,the effectiveness and feasibility of the designed controller in this paper are fully verified through detailed simulation experiments.After comparative analysis with the traditional adaptive controller,it is found that the newly designed controller can make the bus voltages of each distributed power source achieve synchronization more quickly,and is significantly superior to the traditional adaptive controller in terms of anti-interference performance.

文摘Voltage source converters(VSCs),equipped with Pf and Q-U droop characteristics,can support a power system from both frequency and voltage.Unfortunately,overcurrent and power angle instability are still challenging aspects of VSCs under fault conditions.Therefore,fault current limitation and power angle stability are essential conditions for the safe operation of a VSC.Thus,the transient characteristics of a VSC are analyzed to guide transient control.Then,a transient control method for a VSC,considering both fault current limitation and power angle stability,is proposed.With the proposed method,power angle stability is realized by optimizing the P-f controller.On the basis of power angle control,the Q-U controller and inner current controller are improved to effectively suppress the fault current.Finally,relevant tests are performed to verify the proposed method.

文摘With the development of More Electric Aircraft(MEA),the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(PMSM)is widely used in the MEA field.The PMSM control system of MEA needs to consider the system reliability,and the inverter switching frequency of the inverter is one of the impacting factors.At the same time,the control accuracy of the system also needs to be considered,and the torque ripple and flux ripple are usually considered to be its important indexes.This paper proposes a three-stage series Model Predictive Torque and Flux Control system(three-stage series MPTFC)based on fast optimal voltage vector selection to reduce switching frequency and suppress torque ripple and flux ripple.Firstly,the analytical model of the PMSM is established and the multi-stage series control method is used to reduce the switching frequency.Secondly,selectable voltage vectors are extended from 8 to 26 and a fast selection method for optimal voltage vector sectors is designed based on the hysteresis comparator,which can suppress the torque ripple and flux ripple to improve the control accuracy.Thirdly,a three-stage series control is obtained by expanding the two-stage series control using the P-Q torque decomposition theory.Finally,a model predictive torque and flux control experimental platform is built,and the feasibility and effectiveness of this method are verified through comparison experiments.

文摘Fuzzy control of robot manipulators with a decentralized structure is facing a serious challenge. The state-space model of a robotic system including the robot manipulator and motors is in non-companion form, multivariable, highly nonlinear, and heavily coupled with a variable input gain matrix. Considering the problem, causes and solutions, we use voltage control strategy and convergence analysis to design a novel precise robust fuzzy control （PRFC） approach for electrically driven robot manipulators. The proposed fuzzy controller is Mamdani type and has a decentralized structure with guaranteed stability. In order to obtain a precise response, we regulate a fuzzy rule which governs the origin of the tracking space. The proposed design is verified by stability analysis. Simulations illustrate the superiority of the PRFC over a proprotional derivative like （PD-like） fuzzy controller applied on a selective compliant assembly robot arm （SCARA） driven by permanent magnet DC motors.

文摘ype-1 fuzzy sets cannot fully handle the uncertainties. To overcome the problem, type2 fuzzy sets have been proposed. The novelty of this paper is using interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller （IT2FLC） to control a flexible-joint robot with voltage control strategy. In order to take into account the whole robotic system including the dynamics of actuators and the robot manipulator, the voltages of motors are used as inputs of the system. To highlight the capabilities of the control system, a flexible joint robot which is highly nonlinear, heavily coupled and uncertain is used. In addition, to improve the control performance, the parameters of the primary membership functions of IT2FLC are optimized using particle swarm optimization （PSO）. A comparative study between the proposed IT2FLC and type-1 fuzzy logic controller （T1FLC） is presented to better assess their respective performance in presence of external disturbance and unmodelled dynamics. Stability analysis is presented and the effectiveness of the proposed control approach is demonstrated by simulations using a two-link flexible-joint robot driven by permanent magnet direct current motors. Simulation results show the superiority of the IT2FLC over the T1FLC in terms of accuracy, robustness and interpretability.
