In voltage-source converter systems, utilization of filter inductors with deep saturation characteristics is often advantageous because of the improved size, cost, and efficiency. However, with the use of conventional current regulation methods, the inductor saturation results in significant dynamic performance loss and poor steady-state current waveform quality. This paper proposes the saturation compensation with resistive decoupling (SCRD) method to overcome these performance issues. The method converts the nonlinear inductor of the plant to a fictitious linear inductor such that linear current regulators can perform satisfactorily. The steady-state and dynamic performances of SCRD are investigated in detail in comparison with other methods and advantageous performance attributes of SCRD are demonstrated on a 1.5-kW grid-connected system via simulations and laboratory experiments. In addition, identification of L-R parameters is performed, parameter sensitivity issues are addressed, and satisfactory performance is demonstrated.

The analysis, design, and implementation of an active clamped ZVS forward converter equipped with a soft-switched synchronous rectifier (ACFC-SR), proposed for high-efficiency low output voltage DC-DC converter applications, is presented. The converter efficiency is maximised due to soft switching of the main, active clamp, synchronous rectifier, and freewheeling MOSFET switches. The operating principles of the ACFC-SR are analysed in detail, and the converter performance is compared with that of alternativ...

Adaptive controller based on grid impedance estimation for stable operation of grid-connected inverters under weak grid conditions
Temiz, Hakan; Keysan, Ozan; Demirok, Erhan (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2020-10-01)
An electric grid having high impedance seen from the connection point is considered as a weak grid and it adversely affects the system stability of grid-tied voltage source inverters in renewable power devices. In this study, an adaptive controller is proposed by configuring the settling time of the phase-locked loop based on the estimated grid impedance. Pseudorandom binary sequence injection and Fourier techniques are carried out for grid impedance estimation. Impedance-based stability analysis is perform...
OPTIMAL CONTROLLER DESIGN FOR SPEED GOVERNORS OF HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT
Altinoz, Okkes Tolga; KOŞALAY, İLHAN; Gezer, Derya (VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, 2020-06-01)
Speed governors have critical importance on hydroelectric power plants, which are adjusted to the rotating speed of hydroelectric generation based on load demand of the grid. The rotating speed is the main factor to balance power generation and load demand. The well-designed controller is needed to control speed governors with high accuracy. A well-defined model is needed to obtain desired control structure. Therefore, in this study, initially, the mathematical model of a hydroelectric power plant is obtain...
