The performance of synchronous reluctance motor (SynRMs) is strongly dependent on the current loop dynamic characteristics. However, existing drawbacks in simplifying the nonlinear behaviors restrict the complete decoupling of the dynamics, inducing current overshoot and oscillation. In this article, a cascade hybrid decoupling control scheme is proposed to mitigate the negative effects of magneti...Show More
Free-piston linear generator (FPLG) is considered as a potential technology in the field of hybrid vehicles due to its unique operation characteristics. However, the special structure of no crank-link also leads to the difficulty of piston control. In the presence of frequent combustion variations, the stable operation of FPLG is the biggest challenge it currently faces. In this respect, this arti...Show More
In this article, an improved reference voltage decomposition method (RVDM) that takes account of neutral-point (NP) voltage balancing and common-mode voltage (CMV) reduction for NP-clamped three-level converter (NPC-TLC) is proposed. Based on the analysis of the space vector diagram (SVD), CMV is simply reduced by injecting zero-sequence voltages at two-level SVD. Then, according to the principle ...Show More
A novel control scheme for a high power factor (PF) Buck LED driver with a reduced compensation capacitor is proposed in this article. The proposed control scheme is composed of a novel output current estimation circuit based on an accumulator and a novel adaptive compensation circuit with a half-line-cycle step control. The proposed output current estimation circuit can achieve the information of...Show More
The harmonic injection and fault-tolerant control can significantly increase the torque density and dependability of induction motor systems without raising the hardware cost. In terms of fault-tolerant control, the conventional maximum-torque strategy (MTS) and minimum-copper-loss strategy (MLS) are commonly used in motor systems to, respectively, realize the widest postfault torque range and the...Show More
An enhanced virtual vector-based model predictive control (MPC) method is proposed in this article to eliminate the common-mode voltage (CMV) spikes and reduce the current total harmonic distortion (THD) at the same time. As switching between non-adjacent non-opposite active vectors of the inverter can lead to zero vector during dead time, which produces much higher CMV than that of active vectors...Show More
This article presents a new modulation method based on nearest level modulation (NLM) and phase voltage level reconstruction for the four-level single flying capacitor (4L-SFC) converter. The reconstruction procedure addresses the voltage balancing issues of the 4L-SFC converter and performs the per-phase modification of the phase voltages. In the proposed reconstructed NLM (R-NLM) method, the mod...Show More
A dynamic load profile is experienced by the power topology to which the induction melting furnace (IMF) is coupled when an iron scrap is being melted in the furnace. This load profile necessitates continuous correction in silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR)-based front-end converter as well as adjustment in the switching frequency of an inverter in a conventional 12-pulse SCR current source invert...Show More
Model predictive control (MPC) is a well-established approach for applications using grid-connected inverters. However, because the MPC is a model-based method, its performance may degrade due to parametric errors and large perturbations in grid voltage or load current. Predictive repetitive control (PRC) combines the conventional MPC with repetitive control (RC) and presents an improved potential...Show More
This article proposes a moving discretized control set model predictive control (MDCS-MPC) strategy with a simple parameter identification scheme for dual-active-bridge (DAB) converters. The value of the leakage inductance of the high-frequency transformer is estimated online within the digital microcontroller with an easy-implement gradient descent method. The identification scheme is isolated fr...Show More
Power synchronization control (PSC), one of the common grid-forming (GFM) controls, is an emerging grid support technique for converters in the converter-dominated power system. However, its application to modular multilevel converters (MMCs) with dynamic grid conditions and varying grid strength, exposed some instability issues. This article studies the essence of the MMC internal voltage couplin...Show More
Hybrid active neutral point clamped (HANPC) inverter has been recently considered in motor drive applications, while its control with multiple objectives remains quite complicated. The finite set model predictive control (MPC) is very attractive for multilevel inverter (MLI) drives due to its powerful ability to handle multiobjective optimization. However, tuning the weighting factors (WFs) with m...Show More
In the conventional active disturbance rejection (ADR) controller for position control, a classical third-order extended state observer (ESO) is used, and thus, the system is only able to reject a constant disturbance. Though generalized ESO (GESO) has been reported in speed control systems to enhance the low-frequency disturbance rejection property, its implementation in position control system d...Show More
This article introduces a method called geometrical modulated model predictive control (GM2PC) for three-phase power converters. Its objective is to guarantee voltage synthesis, current limiting, fixed switching frequency, no need for weighting factors or cascaded control structure, and fast dynamic response, while also addressing overmodulation issues and distributing PWM signals in cascaded H-br...Show More
To suppress the torque ripple caused by zero-sequence loop (ZSL) in open-winding permanent magnet synchronous motors, a ${q}$ -axis current injection strategy has been proposed. However, in this method, the torque ripple cannot be effectively suppressed and will even be augmented when the third flux linkage mismatch occurs. First, an extended state observer (ESO) based on the ultralocal model is ...Show More
Mitigation of the leakage current components represents a critical issue in transformerless photovoltaic (PV) inverters. Recently, PV inverters with inherent common-ground (CG) connection are becoming promising proposals for nearly total elimination of leakage current components. However, developing multilevel output while injecting grid currents with high quality is a challenging task for classic...Show More
Multisampling is considered as a direct path toward inherent admittance passivity because it can directly reduce the control delay. However, the phase lag caused by the switching ripple suppression filter weakens the advantage of multisampling, making it difficult to extend the dissipativity of the high-frequency band. In this article, to address the challenge of phase lag limiting the dissipativi...Show More
This article focuses on the linear inductance model-based sensorless position estimation for medium- and low-speed switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive. With the developed model reshaping schemes, the position estimation error caused by magnetic saturation is effectively suppressed. Given the specific constant sum characteristics of phase inductances under unsaturation condition, a virtual induct...Show More
The design of the weighting factor in model predictive torque control (MPTC) is a tricky and time-consuming problem. To obtain the optimal weighting factor without the tedious tuning process, a finite control set MPTC (FCS-MPTC) based on equivalent weighting factor is proposed for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SMPMSM) drive system. The torque-flux error plane is first establi...Show More
This article introduces a prescriptive control approach that improves the performance of grid-tied inverters. The current mainstream of contributions is predominantly based on combinations of canonical feedback actions, i.e., proportional ( ${P}$ ), integral ( ${I}$ ), derivative ( ${D}$ ), and resonant ( ${R}$ ). However, this classical view cannot synthesize suitable “intermediate” controller st...Show More
A power electronic transformer (PET) is expected to be an important device within active distribution networks due to its high flexibility and controllability of ac/dc conversion. However, the multiple power conversion stages of a PET increase its volume and decrease its efficiency. Therefore, we present novel time-sharing multiplexing control using the basic H-bridge unit of PETs. This control sc...Show More
Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) system suffers from parameter variations, external disturbances, complex control structure, and slow dynamic response speed under traditional cascaded double-loop control strategy. The friction loss is always ignored in DFIG model, and a large switching coefficient is required to resist the influence of time-varying term of friction loss, which would cause lar...Show More
Parallel-connected power device is an extensively applied solution in the industry to increase the current rating of the converter system.
