In three-phase three-wire (3P3W) voltage-source converter (VSC) systems, utilization of filter inductors with deep saturation characteristics is often advantageous due to the improved size, cost, and efficiency. However, with the use of conventional synchronous frame current control (CSCC) methods, the inductor saturation results in significant dynamic performance loss and poor steady-state current waveform quality. This paper proposes an inverse dynamic model based compensation (IDMBC) method to overcome these performance issues. For this purpose, two-phase exact modelling of the 3P3W VSC control system is obtained. Based on the modelling, the inverse system dynamic model of the nonlinear system is obtained and employed such that the nonlinear plant is converted to a virtual linear inductor system for linear current regulators to perform satisfactorily. Further, to control phase currents in the synchronous frame a two-phase coordinate transformation (TCT) is proposed. The IDMBC method is tested via dynamic command response and waveform quality simulations and experiments that employ saturable inductors reaching down from full inductance at zero current to 1/9<sup>th</sup> inductance at full current. The results obtained demonstrate the suitability of the method for 3P3W VSCs employing saturable inductors.

Inductor Saturation Compensation With Resistive Decoupling for Single-Phase Controlled VSC Systems ÖZKAN, ZİYA; Hava, Ahmet Masum (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-02-01) 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 ...
Current control of single-phase VSC systems with inductor saturation using inverse dynamic model-based compensation Ozkan, Ziya; Hava, Ahmet Masum (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-12-01) In voltage-source converter (VSC) systems, utilization of filter inductors with deep saturation characteristics is often advantageous due to the improved size, cost, and efficiency. However, with the use of conventional current regulation (CCR) methods, the inductor saturation results in significant dynamic performance loss and poor steady-state current waveform quality.

LCL-Filter Design for Low-Voltage High-Power Grid-Tied Voltage-Source Converter Considering Various Damping Methods Kantar, Emre; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2016-06-30) The limited switching frequency, size and weight concerns, and the stringent limits for the injected grid current harmonics challenge the implementation of LCL grid filters for low-voltage multi-megawatt (multi-MW) renewable energy converters. Traditional design procedures of such filters employed in low power and high switching frequency converters may not hold for a multi-MW filter interfacing a low-voltage converter switching at low frequency to the electric grid. This paper proposes an LCL-filter design...
High performance near/short wavelength infrared megapixel InGaAs focal plane array fabrication development and new design proposals Karaca, Utku; Kocaman, Serdar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) In0.53Ga0.47As is the most appropriate material system for Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) detection at ~1.7 μm cutoff wavelength with its relatively lower cost and high performance. Ultra-low dark current (~ nA/cm2) has been recently demonstrated in InGaAs photodetectors with planar type process by eliminating surface leakage current. Here, a fabrication procedure for planar InGaAs photodetectors with unique pixel isolation methods has been developed and ~10 nA/cm2 dark current density levels were obtaine...
Comparison of multi-phase interleaved boost converters with various coupled inductor topologies Gökmen, Raşit; Bostancı, Emine; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-2) Multi-phase interleaved boost converters are widely used in high power applications thanks to their high efficiency, high power density, increased output power capability and low input current ripple features. However, increasing the phase number results in an increase in the overall volume of the converter. In order to reduce the volume of the converter, inductors in multi-phase interleaved boost converters can be coupled. For a two-phase interleaved boost converter, loosely-coupled inductor (LCI), close-c...
