Balancing of Common DC-Bus Parallel Connected Modular Inductive Power Transfer Systems

2021-01-01
The aim of this paper is to design a modular, fault tolerant multi-transmitter(Tx)/multi-receiver(Rx) parallel connected common DC bus inductive power transfer(IPT) system to replace slip rings in wind turbines or brushless exciters. In parallel connected common DC bus systems, current unbalance is a major issue that results in thermal stresses and over current or voltages. In this paper, two different new current balancing methods are proposed: Cross-coupled Rx modules and intentional de-tuning of Rx side resonant frequency. These methods are investigated both analytically and experimentally for a single Tx and two Rx system for a 500 W prototype. The proposed methods are tested independently, and then the combined current balancing method is also investigated. For the same misalignment case, cross-coupled/de-tuned has a 55.8% current balancing improvement compared to de-coupled/fully-tuned topology.

Grid impedance estimation based adaptive controller design for back-to-back wind turbine power converters for stable operation in distorted and weak grid
Temiz, Hakan; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
This thesis involves grid impedance estimation based adaptive controller design for back-to-back wind turbine power converters for stable operation in distorted and weak grid. The study focuses on the low frequency harmonic elimination of injected current to the grid under distorted grid conditions and maintaining system stability under wide range of grid impedance values for Voltage Source Inverters (VSIs) connected to the grid via LCL filter. To eliminate 5th and 7th harmonics of the injected current, a c...
Modelling and control of a wind energy conversion system
Sarıbatır, Behçet M.; Sezer, Mesut E. (Informa UK Limited, 1987-7)
The dynamical model of a novel low power wind energy conversion system consisting of a wind turbine, an induction generator, a PWM a.c. inverter and a d.c. battery group is obtained. A feedback control law is developed to provide optimum power conversion and arbitrarily fast responses at steady-state. The feedback does not require measurement of the wind speed and therefore is suitable for real applications. The stability of the closed-loop system is analysed using a Liapunov-type practical stability criter...
Design of a fully-static differential low-power CMOS flip-flop
Yalcin, T; Ismailoglu, N (1999-06-02)
A fully-static flip-flop structure is proposed and compared to both the conventional CMOS flip-flop and the Cascode Voltage Switch Logic (CVSL) static flip-flop proposed by Yuan and Svensson [1], in terms of speed, power consumption and silicon area. Then an add-and-delay circuit is implemented using all three flip-flop structures to demonstrate the performance of the proposed flip-flop. The add-and-delay structure is chosen since it is a widely used block in digital signal processing. The proposed structur...
Seismic design of lifeline bridge using hybrid seismic isolation
Dicleli, Murat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2002-03-01)
This paper presents the merits of a hybrid seismic isolation system used for the seismic design of a major bridge. The bridge is analyzed for two different arrangements of seismic isolation systems. The first arrangement consists of friction pendulum bearings at all substructure locations; the other incorporates a hybrid system where laminated elastomeric bearings are used at the abutments and friction pendulum bearings at the piers. Analysis results have demonstrated that the hybrid seismic isolation syste...
Design and Performance Analysis of a Grid Connected PWM-VSI System
Kantar, Emre; Usluer, S. Nadir; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2013-11-30)
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSIs) are favorable interface devices to the power grid for renewable energy systems. This paper deals with the design of the LCL-filter and inverter for the grid-connected VSI. A complete design procedure for both reactive and passive components of LCL-filter is demonstrated with a new iterative approach in selection of the filter inductors. The design process for a two-level VSI is clearly illustrated through an example and the dynamic response is inv...
