In this thesis, we presented Kalman Filter based control methods for two different DC/DC converter systems. In the first application, we proposed an observer-based control method for sensorless output voltage regulation of a Full-Bridge converter. We introduced the modeling and design of the proposed observer-based control policy, and we demonstrated its performance and robustness through simulation experiments. Secondly, we proposed an hybrid Extended Kalman Filter based state, parameter (load resistance), and operation mode estimator for the Buck converter. Through extensive modeling and simulation studies, we showed that the algorithm can predict the operation mode effectively and estimate the states and unknown load resistance accurately. We believe that these studies can contribute the development of more robust, high-performance and sensorless voltage control policies for DC/DC converter topologies.

On-Line Application of SHEM by Particle Swarm Optimization to Grid-Connected, Three-Phase, Two-Level VSCs with Variable DC Link Voltage
Guvengir, Umut; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK; Ermiş, Muammer (2018-08-01)
This paper is devoted to an otablen-line application of the selective harmonic elimination method (SHEM) to three-phase, two-level, grid-connected voltage source converters (VSCs) by particle swarm optimization (PSO). In such systems, active power can be controlled by the phase shift angle, and reactive power by the modulation index, against variations in the direct current (DC) link voltage. Some selected, low-odd-order harmonic components in the line-to-neutral output voltage waveforms are eliminated by c...
Kalman filtering based approach for light flicker evaluation of power systems
Kose, N.; Salor, O.; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2011-01-01)
In this study, a Kalman filtering based approach is proposed to measure the light flicker of the electricity transmission systems. Analytical expressions of the instantaneous light flicker sensation are used to obtain a flicker estimation method based on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) flickermeter. In the proposed method, the frequency domain components of the voltage waveform are obtained by Kalman filtering and these components are used to obtain the light flicker. The method is teste...
State estimation of induction motor using unscented Kalman filter
Akin, B; Orguner, Umut; Ersak, A (2003-06-25)
In this paper, a new estimation technique, unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is applied to state observation in field oriented control (FOC) of induction motor. UKF, a recent derivative-free nonlinear estimation tool, is used for estimating rotor speed and fluxes using sensed stator current and voltages. In the simulations, UKF, whose several intrinsic properties suggest its use over EKF in highly nonlinear systems, turned out to be very similar to EKF in flux estimates. The simulation results also show that UK...
Control Strategies for Grid Connected PWM-VSI Systems
Kantar, Emre; Usluer, S. Nadir; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2013-11-30)
This paper evaluates the current control methods for three-phase voltage-source-inverters (VSIs) connected to the grid via LCL-filters. Current feedback methods from both line and converter sides are compared and theoretical analysis is stated. The analysis is based on the existence of a critical resonant frequency dividing the controlling frequency interval into two regions; namely low and high resonant frequency regions. The feedback types and damping methods are evaluated for both low and high resonant f...
Gaussian mixture PHD filter for multi-target tracking using passive doppler-only measurements
Guldogan, Mehmet B.; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2012-05-17)
In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter in tracking multiple non-cooperative targets using a passive sensor network. Non-cooperative transmissions from illuminators of opportunity like GSM base stations, FM radio transmitters or digital broadcasters are exploited by non-directional separately located Doppler measuring sensors. Clutter, missed detections and multi-static Doppler variances are incorporated into a realistic multi-target s...
