In order to improve power efficiency of medium voltage photovoltaic dc transmission system, a novel topology based on current source actively commutated converter (ACC) is proposed. It mainly consists of ACC on the medium/low voltage side and uncontrolled rectifier bridge unit.

Energy balancing control in cascaded multilevel energy storage inverters (CMESIs), which consist of distributed energy storage devices across power modules (PMs), poses a significant challenge. Existing studies have identified limitations and shortcomings in achieving energy balance through differential power distribution to individual PMs. This paper presents a comparative analysis of two establi...Show More
In this paper, a model predictive current control method based on boundary restriction (BR-MPCC) is proposed for the medium-speed maglev train. Compared with the traditional switching frequency decreasing method based on the cost function (CF-MPCC), the proposed novel method is free from weights and without changing the cost function itself. Simulation results show that the BR-MPCC scheme reduces ...Show More
A hybrid synchronous and phase-shifted control strategy is proposed for DC transformer (DCT) in this paper. This configuration of DCT is composed of multiple series resonant dual active bridges (SRDABs).

The maglev train is a large inertia system. In order to improve the dynamic response of the train speed, it is usually necessary to add feedforward compensation with a mass term to the speed loop. However, the mass of maglev trains changes as passengers get on and off. In this paper, a fuzzy control strategy is proposed to estimate the mass of the maglev train, which avoids the problem that the ma...Show More
Accurate and efficient electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation of various types of solid-state transformers (SSTs) is extremely time-consuming due to the complex module structure, flexible topology connections, large number of electrical nodes, and simulation time steps limited in the range of microseconds. Therefore, it is urgent to develop the EMT equivalent modeling and fast simulation of SS...Show More
Due to the power interaction between the phase-shifted dual active bridges (PSDABs) and series resonant dual active bridges (SRDABs) in the hybrid modular dc Transformer (HMDCT), it is difficulty to optimize current stress based on the transferred power.

Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) -based solid-state transformer (SST) consists of CHBs and dual active bridge (DAB) converters. Series-resonant DAB converters (SRCs) are widely used for its advantages of soft switching characteristic and simple control. However, the high-frequency-link (HFL) currents of SRCs contain double-line-frequency harmonic fluctuation in three-phase CHB-based SST, resulting in high ...Show More
