AbstractA current source inverter (CSI) IEEE 2013 requires a capacitor filter for the commutation of switching device as well as for attenuating switching harmonics. Hence, the CSI-fed ac machine has a second-order system in the continuous time domain. This paper presents a design methodology for the closed-loop current controller of the CSI-fed ac machine drive

system. A multiloop current controller design using a pole/zero cancellation method is employed with a transfer function matrix. To decouple the crosscoupling terms which cause mutual interferences between the dand q-axes in the synchronous reference frame, two types of controller are proposed and implemented using different decoupling method. Additionally, active damping methods are incorporated to enhance the stability of the system. A stability analysis in discretetime domain is investigated to verify the feasibility of the proposed closedloop current controller. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed current controller, computer simulations and experimental tests were performed and the results are discussed. A DCDC Converter AbstractThis paper presents a pulsewidth IEEE 2013 Based on the Three-State modulation dcdc nonisolated buck converter Switching Cell for High using the three-state switching cell, constituted Current and Voltage by two active switches, two diodes, and two Step-Down Applications coupled inductors. Only part of the load power is processed by the active switches, reducing the peak current through the switches to half of the load current, as higher power levels can then be achieved by the proposed topology. The volume of reactive elements, i.e., inductors and capacitors, is also decreased since the ripple frequency of the output voltage is twice the switching frequency. Due to the intrinsic characteristics of the topology, total losses are distributed among all semiconductors. Another advantage of this converter is the reduced region for discontinuous conduction mode when compared to the conventional buck converter or, in other words, the operation range in continuous conduction mode is increased, as demonstrated by the static gain plot. The theoretical approach is detailed through qualitative and quantitative analyses by the application of the three-state switching cell to the buck converter operating in nonoverlapping mode (D < 0.5). Besides, the mathematical analysis and development of an experimental prototype rated at 1 kW are carried out. The main experimental results are presented and

A High Step-Down Transformerless SingleStage Single-Switch AC/DC Converter
adequately discussed to clearly identify its claimed advantages. AbstractThis paper presents a high stepIEEE 2013 down tranformerless single-stage single-switch ac/dc converter suitable for universal line applications (90270 Vrms ). The topology integrates a buck-type power-factor correction (PFC) cell with a buckboost dc/dc cell and part of the input power is coupled to the output directly after the first power processing. With this direct power transfer feature and sharing capacitor voltages, the converter is able to achieve efficient power conversion, high power factor, low voltage stress on intermediate bus (less than 130 V) and low output voltage without a high step-down transformer. The absence of transformer reduces the component counts and cost of the converter. Unlike most of the boosttype PFC cell, the main switch of the proposed converter only handles the peak inductor current of dc/dc cell rather than the superposition of both inductor currents. Detailed analysis and design procedures of the proposed circuit are given and verified by experimental results. AbstractAnovel high step-up converter is IEEE 2013 proposed for a frontend photovoltaic system. Through a voltage multiplier module, an asymmetrical interleaved high step-up converter obtains high stepup gain without operating at an extreme duty ratio. The voltage multiplier module is composed of a conventional boost converter and coupled inductors. An extra conventional boost converter is integrated into the first phase to achieve a considerably higher voltage conversion ratio. The two-phase configuration not only reduces the current stress through each power switch, but also constrains the input current ripple, which decreases the conduction losses of metaloxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). In addition, the proposed converter functions as an active clamp circuit, which alleviates large voltage spikes across the power switches. Thus, the low-voltage-rated

MOSFETs can be adopted for reductions of conduction losses and cost. Efficiency improves because the energy stored in leakage inductances is recycled to the output terminal. Finally, the prototype circuit with a 40-V input voltage, 380-V output, and 1000- W output power is operated to verify its performance. The highest efficiency is 96.8%. A High-Performance AbstractThis paper presents the design of a IEEE 2013 SPWM Controller for high-performance sinusoidal pulsewidth Three-Phase UPS Systems modulation (SPWM) controller for threephase Operating Under Highly uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems Nonlinear Loads that are operating under highly nonlinear loads. The classical SPWM method is quite effective in controlling the RMS magnitude of the UPS output voltages. However, it is not good enough in compensating the harmonics and the distortion caused specifically by the nonlinear currents drawn by the rectifier loads. The distortion becomes more severe at high power where the switching frequency has to be reduced due to the efficiency concerns. This study proposes a new design strategy that overcomes the limitations of the classical RMS control. It adds inner loops to the closed-loop control system effectively that enables successful reduction of harmonics and compensation of distortion at the outputs. Simulink is used to analyze, develop, and design the controller using the state-space model of the inverter. The controller is implemented in the TMS320F2808 DSP by Texas Instruments, and the performance is evaluated experimentally using a three-phase 10 kVA transformer isolated UPS under all types of load conditions. In conclusion, the experimental results demonstrate that the controller successfully achieves the steady-state RMS voltage regulation specifications as well as the total harmonic distortion and the dynamic response requirements of major UPS standards.

of Interleaved Single-Stage Flyback ACDC Converter for Outdoor LED Lighting Systems
(LED) lighting systems, there are a lot of applications. Depending on the output power rating, the power stage to drive an LED can be classified into single-stage and two-stage structures. The single-stage structure is for lowpower LED lighting applications. However, it is difficult to apply at over 6070 W of output power because of its low efficiency and huge transformer at high power. On the other hand, the two-stage structure is usually used for high power applications. However, it is undesirable to cover wide output power range because of its poor power factor (PF) under the light load condition. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a new pulse duty cycle control method with pulse frequency modulation for an interleaved single-stage flyback acdc converter. The proposed converter provides high efficiency under heavy loads with low ac line condition and under light loads with high ac line condition. In addition, the proposed converter shows high PF and low total harmonic distortion even when the output power is very low. As a result, a single LED acdc converter can cover wide power range for outdoor LED lighting applications. To verify the validity of the proposed converter, an 81-W prototype converter has been implemented and experimented on.

system efficiency, and reduces cost. In addition, this paper proposes a new anti-islanding technique for dc distribution as a system protection scheme. The operating principle is presented in detail and analysis shows that the proposed injected current perturbation technique is an effective solution for anti-islanding operation. A prototype converter features a simple structure with no electrolytic capacitor, which ensures a longer lifetime of the PV power circuit. Experimental results of the prototype circuit show a maximum efficiency of 98.1% and a European efficiency of 97.5%. The proposed anti-islanding technique shows fast response to the islanding condition in less than 0.2 s. It also shows that the average maximum power point tracking efficiency is 99.9% in normal conditions, which verifies the performance of the proposed scheme.

A Single-Phase GridAbstractIn this paper, the boost-inverter IEEE 2013 Connected Fuel Cell topology is used as a building block for a System Based on a Boost- single-phase grid-connected fuel cell (FC) Inverter system offering low cost and compactness. In addition, the proposed system incorporates battery-based energy storage and a dcdc bidirectional converter to support the slow dynamics of the FC. The single-phase boost inverter is voltage-mode controlled and the dc dc bidirectional converter is current-mode controlled. The low-frequency current ripple is supplied by the battery whichminimizes the effects of such ripple being drawn directly from the FC itself.Moreover, this system can operate either in a grid-connected or stand-alone mode. In the grid-connected mode, the boost inverter is able to control the active (P) and reactive (Q) powers using an algorithm based on a second-order generalized integrator which provides a fast signal conditioning for singlephase systems. Design guidelines, simulation, and experimental results taken from a laboratory prototype are presented to confirm the

A Three-Level Converter AbstractThis paper proposes a pulse-width IEEE 2013 With Reduced Filter Size modulation threelevel converter with reduced Using Two Transformers filter size using two transformers. The proposed and Flying Capacitors converter hasmany advantages. All switches sustain only the half of the input voltage and since the secondary rectified voltage is a three-level waveform, the output filter inductor can be reduced. Also, because of the power sharing of transformer and reduced output inductor, high efficiency can be obtained. The operational principle, analysis, and design considerations of the proposed converter are presented in this paper. The validity of this study is confirmed by the experimental results from a prototype with 600W, 500600V input, and 60V output. (Index TermsReduced filter size, three-level converter.) Adaptive Dead-Time AbstractThis study presents a new software- IEEE 2013 Compensation for Gridbased plug-in dead-time compensator for gridConnected PWM Inverters connected pulsewidth modulated voltage-source of Single-Stage PV inverters of single-stage photovoltaic (PV) Systems systems using predictive current controllers (PCCs) to regulate phase currents. First, a nonlinear dead-time disturbance model is reviewed, which is then used for the generation of a feed-forward compensation signal that eliminates the current distortion associated with current clamping effects around zero-current crossing points. A novel closed-loop adaptive adjustment scheme is proposed for fine tuning in real time the compensation model parameters, thereby ensuring accurate results even under the highly varying operating conditions typically found in PV systems due to insolation, temperature, and shadowing effects, among others. The algorithm implementation is straightforward and computationally efficient, and can be easily attached to an existent PCC to enhance its dead-time rejection capabilitywithout modifying its internal structure.

Adaptive Theory-Based AbstractThis paper presents a hardware IEEE 2013 Improved Linear Sinusoidal implementation of three-phase distribution static Tracer Control Algorithm compensator (DSTATCOM) using an adaptive for DSTATCOM theory-based improved linear sinusoidal tracer (ILST) control algorithm for different functions of DSTATCOM such as reactive power compensation for power factor correction, harmonics elimination, load balancing, and zerovoltage regulation under linear/nonlinear loads.AnILST-based control algorithm is used for the extraction of fundamental load currents and their active and reactive power components. These components are used for the estimation of reference source currents. A prototype of DSTATCOM is developed and its real-time performance is studied using a digital signal processor. The performance of DSTATCOM is found satisfactory with the proposed control algorithm under various types of loads.

Adaptive Voltage Control AbstractIn the case of photovoltaic (PV) IEEE 2013 of the DC/DC Boost Stage systems, an adequate PV voltage regulation is in PV Converters With fundamental in order to both maximize and limit Small Input Capacitor the power. For this purpose, a large input capacitor has traditionally been used. However, when reducing that capacitors size, the nonlinearities of the PV array make the performance of the voltage regulation become highly dependent on the operating point. This paper analyzes the nonlinear characteristics of the PV generator and clearly states their effect on the control of the dc/dc boost stage of commercial converters by means of a linearization around the operating point. Then, it

proposes an adaptive control, which enables the use of a small input capacitor preserving at the same time the performance of the original system with a large capacitor. Experimental results are carried out for a commercial converter with a 40 F input capacitor, and a 4 kWPV array. The results corroborate the theoretical analysis; they evidence the problems of the traditional control, and validate the proposed control with such a small capacitor.

An Adaptive Output AbstractA primary-side controlled method is IEEE 2013 Current Estimation Circuit commonly used in flyback LED driver to for a Primary-Side regulate output current by employing an auxiliary Controlled LED Driver winding. However, owing to intrinsic propagation delay in real-world circuits, a primary-side controlled flyback converter experiences a worse line regulation. This paper proposes a smart output current estimation scheme to improve line regulation for constant on-time control, and it can be compatible with the current flyback topology. A 9.5-W prototype of the proposed flyback LED driver has been fabricated in Nuvoton Technology Corporation 0.6-m 5-V/40-V CMOS process. The maximum switching frequency is set to around 100 kHz with universal-line input, single-stage power factor correction for LED lighting applications. Experimental results prove that the proposed scheme can improve the line regulation within 1.5% and the power efficiency can be up to 89.7%.

An Optimal Control AbstractBoundary conduction mode (BCM) IEEE 2013 Method for Photovoltaic and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) Grid-Tied-Interleaved control strategies are widely used for the Flyback Microinverters to flyback microinverter. The BCM and DCM Achieve High Efficiency in control strategies are investigated for the Wide Load Range interleaved flyback microinverter concentrating on the loss analysis under different load conditions. These two control strategies have

different impact on the loss distribution and thus the efficiency of the flyback microinverter. For the interleaved flyback microinverter, the dominant losses with heavy load include the conduction loss of the powerMOSFETs and diodes, and the loss of the transformer; while the dominant losses with light load include the gate driving loss, the turn-off loss of the power MOSFETs and the transformer core loss. Based on the loss analysis, a new hybrid control strategy combing the two-phase DCM and one-phaseDCMcontrol is proposed to improve the efficiency in wide load range by reducing the dominant losses depending on the load current. The optimal design method based on the boundary condition of the hybrid control is also presented. The experimental results verify the benefits of the proposed control.

HighSystems power MV dc/dc converters with high-step-up conversion ratios are the key components for the internal MVDC grid. In this paper, a highefficiency step-up resonant switchedcapacitor converter for offshore wind energy system is studied, which is characterized by the soft-switching condition for all switches and diodes. This significantly reduces switching losses and higher switching frequency is feasible to reduce the overall system volume and weight. The comparisons with other two kinds of topologies are also presented; moreover, the possible specification requirements of high power MV dc/dc converters are analyzed and set.

Analysis and Design of a PushPull Quasi-Resonant Boost Power Factor Corrector
AbstractThis paper proposes a novel IEEE 2013 power-factor corrector (PFC), which is mainly composed of two-phase transition-mode (TM) boost-type power-factor correctors (PFCs) and a coupled inductor. By integrating two boost inductors into one magnetic core, not only the circuit volume is reduced, but also the operating frequency of the core is double of the switching frequency. Comparing with single-phase TM boost PFC, both the input and output current ripples of the proposed PFC can be reduced if the equivalent inductance of the coupled inductor equals the inductance of singlephase TM boost PFC. Therefore, both the powerfactor value and the power density are increased. The proposed topology is capable of sharing the input current and output current equally. A cut-inhalf duty cycle can reduce the conduction losses of the switches and both the turns and diameters of the inductor windings. The advantages of aTMboost PFC, such as quasi-resonant (QR) valley switching on the switch and zero-current switching (ZCS) of the output diode, are maintained to improve the overall conversion efficiency. Detailed analysis and design procedures of the proposed topology are given. Simulations and experiments are conducted on a prototype with a universal line voltage, a 380-V output dc voltage and a 200-W output power to verify its feasibility. (Index TermsCoupled inductor, power factor corrector, push pull topology, quasi-resonant (QR) converter.) AbstractPower transformer is one of the IEEE 2013 most complex parts of power converters. The complicated behavior of the transformer is usually neglected in the power converter analysis and a simple model is mostly used to analyze the converter. This paper presents a precise analysis of a fifth-order resonant converter which has incorporated the resonant circuit into the transformer. The derived model, which is based on the accurate model of the power transformer, can fully predict the behavior of the fifth-order resonant converter.

The proposed fifth-order resonant converter is able to effectively reduce the range of phaseshift angle fromno load to full load for a fixedfrequency phase-shift control approach. Therefore, the converter is able to operate under zero voltage switching during entire load range with a fixed-frequency control method. Also, the proposed converter offers a high gain which leads to a lower transformer turns ratio. A 10-kVDC, 1.1-kW prototype has been prepared to evaluate the performance of the proposed converter. The experimental results exhibit the excellent accuracy of the proposed model and the superiority of the performance compared to the lower order resonant converters, especially for high-voltage applications.

Analysis, Design, and AbstractThis paper proposes a new novel IEEE 2013 Experimental Results of a snubberless currentfed half-bridge front-end Novel Soft-Switching isolated dc/dc converter-based inverter for Snubberless Current-Fed photovoltaic applications. It is suitable for gridHalf-Bridge Front-End tied (utility interface) as well as off-grid Converter-Based PV (standalone) application based on the mode of Inverter control. The proposed converter attains clamping of the device voltage by secondary modulation, thus eliminating the need of snubber or active-clamp. Zero-current switching or natural commutation of primary devices and zero-voltage switching of secondary devices is achieved. Soft-switching is inherent owing to the proposed secondary modulation and is maintained during wide variation in voltage and power transfer capacity and thus is suitable for photovoltaic (PV) applications. Primary device voltage is clamped at reflected output voltage, and secondary device voltage is clamped at output voltage. Steady-state operation and analysis, and design procedure are presented. Simulation results using PSIM 9.0 are given to verify the proposed analysis and design. An experimental converter prototype rated at 200

Application and Stability AbstractThis paper presents a novel IEEE 2013 Analysis of a Novel Digital technique to suppress common-mode Active EMI Filter Used in a electromagnetic interference (EMI) using a Grid-Tied PV digital active EMI filter (DAEF). The DAEF Microinverter Module control technique is concurrently implemented with a digital controller of a grid-tied photovoltaic microinverter. A brief description of the microinverter architecture and its inverter circuit is illustrated. The inverter stability is investigated using the overall transfer function. Accordingly, the system compensation is designed based on the direct quadrant (DQ) reference frame control technique. Finally, the proposed digital controller is tested on a gridconnected 200-W dcac microinverter. The experiment results validate the effectiveness of the proposed technique. Compared with the conventional passive EMIfilter, the proposed digital controller can achieve an equivalent or better performance in terms of EMI suppression and maintain stability within the operation bandwidth. Therefore, the embedded DAEF can significantly reduce the size, cost, and space of the overall power inverter printed circuit board without the need of a conventional passive EMI filter.

presence of partial shading, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) on PV modules is more important than the conversion efficiency. In this paper, a new control method for a three-level inverter is proposed.With the proposed method, each dc-link voltage of the three-level inverter can be asymmetrically regulated. When PV modules are split into two and each split module is connected to the respective dc-link capacitors of the inverter, the asymmetric control can be helpful because separateMPPTs are possible. The effectiveness of the proposed method was examined through experiments with a T-type three-level inverter, where each dclink capacitor was supplied by a PVsimulator emulating two separate PVmodules under different shading conditions.

AbstractThis study presents a study of the IEEE 2013 reduction in battery stresses by using supercapacitors (SCs) in a 500-kVA rated UPS. We aim at investigating the optimal supercapacitors-battery combination versus the SCs cost. This investigation is threefold; first, supercapacitors and battery models developed using MATLAB/Simulink are presented and validated. Second, the architecture and the simulation of the designed system that combines the SCs and the battery are shown. The supercapacitors are used as high-power storage devices to smooth the peak power applied to the battery during backup time and to deliver full power during short grid outages. By charging the SCs through the battery at a suitable rate, all impulse power demands would be satisfied by the supercapacitors. Third, extensive simulations are carried out to determine the gain in batteryRMS current, the gain in energy losses, the energy efficiency and the elimination rate of surge load power. These four performance parameters are determined by simulation and then analyzed. The influence of the SCs

PE22 Bridgeless SEPIC Converter With a RippleFree Input Current AbstractConventional power factor IEEE 2013 correction (PFC) singleended primary inductor converter (SEPIC) suffers from high conduction loss at the input bridge diode. To solve this problem, a bridgeless SEPIC converter with ripple-free input current is proposed. In the proposed converter, the input bridge diode is removed and the conduction loss is reduced. In addition, the input current ripple is significantly reduced by utilizing an additional winding of the input inductor and an auxiliary capacitor. Similar to the conventional PFC SEPIC converter, the input current in a switching period is proportional to the input voltage and near unity power is achieved. The operational principles, steady-state analysis, and design equations of the proposed converter are described in detail. Experimental results from a 130Wprototype at a constant switching frequency of 100 kHz are presented to verify the performance of the proposed converter.

Cascaded Multicell Trans- AbstractInverters with high-output voltage IEEE 2013 Z-Source Inverters gain usually face the problem of high-input current flowing through their components. The problem might further be exaggerated if the inverters use high-frequency magnetic devices like transformers or coupled inductors. Leakage inductances of these devices must strictly be small to prevent overvoltages caused by switching of their winding currents. To avoid these related problems, cascaded trans-Zsource inverters are proposed. They use multiple magnetic cells in an alternately cascading

Simulation and experimental results have shown that the multicell inverters can produce the same high-voltage gain, while keeping currents and voltages of the components low. The inverters can also step down their output voltages like a traditional voltage-source inverter without compromising waveform quality.

Class-D/DE Dual-Mode- AbstractInduction heating (IH) technology is IEEE 2013 Operation Resonant nowadays widely present in domestic appliances Converter for Improvedbecause of its cleanness, high efficiency, and Efficiency Domestic faster heating process. All of these advantages Induction Heating System are due to its heating process, where the pot is directly heated by the induced currents generatedwith a varyingmagnetic field.As a result, the glass where the pot is supported is not directly heated and, consequently, efficiency and heating times are improved. IH systems are based on dc-link inverters to generate the required alternating current to feed the inductor. Usually, resonant converters are used to achieve higher efficiencies and power densities. In such systems, themaximum output power and efficiency are achieved at the resonant frequency, and the switching frequency is increased to reduce the output power. As a consequence, in these converters, the efficiency is also reduced in the low-medium output power range. This paper proposes the use of the halfbridge inverter in two operating modes to achieve higher efficiency in a wide output power range. The power converter topology can be reconfigured by changing the resonant capacitors through electromechanical relays. As a consequence, the entire efficiency of the cooking process is improved with a costeffective procedure.(Index TermsInduction heating (IH), inverter, resonant power conversion.)

in Medium-Voltage Drives source-fed drives. By analyzing the CMV values at all switching states under different operating conditions of a currentsource-inverter (CSI)based motor drive, this paper first indicates that the CMV peaks are produced by the zero states in most of the cases. The nonzero-state (NZS) modulation techniques employed in voltagesource converters are adapted for use in a spacevector- modulated current-source converter (CSC) to reduce the CMV magnitude. For NZS modulation in CSCs, the nearest threestate (NTS) modulation sequences are designed with good loworder harmonic performances in their linear modulation region of ma 0.67 and with no increase in the device switching frequency. A combined active-zerostate (AZS) modulation technique is also proposed as compensation, for a lower modulation index in the range of 0.40.67, when a compromise is made between the dc-link current minimization and high input power factor control. The simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the CMV reduction effects and harmonic performances of the NTS and combined AZS modulation methods in CSI-fed drives.

DC-Voltage Fluctuation AbstractUnbalanced grid voltage causes a IEEE 2013 Elimination Through a DC- large second-order harmonic current in the dcCapacitor Current Control link capacitors as well as dc-voltage fluctuation, for DFIG Converters which potentially will degrade the lifespan and Under Unbalanced Grid reliability of the capacitors in voltage source Voltage Conditions converters. This paper proposes a novel dccapacitor current control method for a grid-side converter (GSC) to eliminate the negative impact of unbalanced grid voltage on the dccapacitors. In this method, a dccapacitor current control loop,where a negative-sequence resonant controller is used to increase the loop gain, is added to the conventional GSC current control loop. The rejection capability to the unbalanced grid voltage and the stability of the proposed control system are discussed. The second-order harmonic current in the dc capacitor as well as dc-voltage fluctuation is very well eliminated. Hence, the dc capacitors will be more reliable under unbalanced grid voltage conditions. A modular implementation method of the proposed control strategy is developed for the DFIG controller. Finally, experiments are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.

Design Methodology for a AbstractThis paper introduces a IEEE 2013 Very High Frequency designmethodology for a resonant boost Resonant Boost Converter converter topology that is suitable for operation at very high frequencies. The topology we examine features a low parts count and fast transient response, but suffers from higher device stresses compared to other topologies that use a larger number of passive components.Anumerical design procedure is developed for this topology that does not rely on time-domain simulation sweeps across parameters. This allows the optimal converter design to be found for a particular main semiconductor switch. If an integrated power process is used where the designer has control over layout of the semiconductor switch, the optimal combination of converter design and semiconductor layout can be found. To validate the proposed converter topology and design approach, a 75-MHz prototype converter is designed and experimentally demonstrated. The performance of the prototype closely matches that predicted by the design procedure, and the converter achieves good efficiency over a wide input voltage range.

The Unbalanced Grid Voltage behaviors of the DFIG system with SGSC Conditions during network unbalance are described. By injecting a series control voltage generated from the SGSC to balance the stator voltage, the adverse effects of voltage unbalance upon the DFIG, such as stator and rotor current unbalances, electromagnetic torque, and power pulsations, can be removed, and then the conventional vector control strategy for the rotor-side converter remains in full force under unbalanced conditions. Meanwhile, three control targets for the parallel grid-side converter (PGSC) are identified, including eliminating the oscillations in the total active power or reactive power, or eliminating negative-sequence current injected to the grid. Furthermore, a precise current reference generation strategy for the PGSC has been proposed for the PGSC to further improve the operation performance of the whole system. Finally, the proposed coordinated control strategy for the DFIG system with SGSC has been validated by the simulation results of a 2MW-DFIG-based wind turbine with SGSC and experimental results on a laboratory-scale experimental rig under small steady-state grid voltage unbalance.

Generalized Multicell Switched-Inductor and Switched-Capacitor ZSource Inverters
PE38
AbstractTraditional voltage-source inverter IEEE 2013 is limited by its only voltage step-down operation, while current-source inverter is limited by its only current step-down mode. In order to add an extra boosting flexibility while keeping the number of active semiconductors unchanged, voltage-type and current-type Zsource inverters were earlier proposed. These new classes of inverters are generally more robust and less sensitive to electromagnetic noises. However, their boosting capabilities are somehow compromised by high component stresses and poorer spectral performances caused by low modulation ratios. Their boosting gains are, therefore, limited in practice. To overcome these shortcomings, the generalized switched-inductor and switched-capacitor Zsource inverters are proposed,whose extra boosting abilities and other advantages have already been verified in simulation and experiment. (Index TermsCascaded inverters, multicell inverters, switchedcapacitor (SC), switched-inductor (SL), Z-source inverters.) Grid Interfacing of AbstractThis paper investigates the suitability IEEE 2013 Multimegawatt Photovoltaic of selective harmonic elimination (SHE) for Inverters low-loss multimegawatt gridconnected photovoltaic (PV) inverters. The proposed system is able to meet utilities regulations, IEEE and IEC standards. In an attempt to substantiate the potential superiority of SHE over carrier-based or space-vector pulsewidth modulation (PWM), this paper demonstrates that SHE may allow grid-connected PV inverters to be controlled using a switching frequency of less than 1 kHz, while the inverter is still able to provide necessary operation features such as independent control of active and reactive powers and operation control simplicity. For system validation, experimental results with SHE are compared to the case when the inverter is controlled using third-harmonic injection PWM, with a 2-kHz switching frequency. Furthermore, the paper proposes a new implementation technique for SHE that

utilizes the third harmonics to spread the switching angles over 90 instead of being located in a narrow range as generated when using conventional techniques, along with increases in modulation index.

High Boost Ratio Hybrid AbstractThis paper presents a nonisolated, IEEE 2013 Transformer DCDC high boost ratio hybrid transformer dcdc Converter for Photovoltaic converter with applications for low-voltage Module Applications renewable energy sources. The proposed converter utilizes a hybrid transformer to transfer the inductive and capacitive energy simultaneously, achieving a high boost ratio with a smaller sized magnetic component. As a result of incorporating the resonant operation mode into the traditional high boost ratio pulsewidth modulation converter, the turn-off loss of the switch is reduced, increasing the efficiency of the converter under all load conditions. The input current ripple and conduction losses are also reduced because of the hybrid linear-sinusoidal input current waveforms. The voltage stresses on the active switch and diodes are maintained at a low level and are independent of the changing input voltage over a wide range as a result of the resonant capacitor transferring energy to the output of the converter. The effectiveness of the proposed converter was experimentally verified using a 220-W prototype circuit. Utilizing an input voltage ranging from 20 to 45V and a load range of 30220W, the experimental results show system of efficiencies greater than 96% with a peak efficiency of 97.4% at 35-V input, 160-W output.

(Index TermsCalifornia energy commission (CEC) efficiency, energy sources with low dc voltage, European union (EU) efficiency, high boost ratio dcdc, high efficiency, hybrid transformer, photovoltaic (PV) module.) AbstractIn this paper, a new method is IEEE 2013 proposed to eliminate electrolytic capacitors in a two-stage acdc light-emitting diode (LED) driver. DC-biased sinusoidal or square-wave LED drivingcurrent can help to reduce the power imbalance between ac input and dc output. In doing so, film capacitors can be adopted to improve LED drivers lifetime. The relationship between the peakto- average ratio of the pulsating current in LEDs and the storage capacitance according to given storage capacitance is derived. Using the proposed zero-low-level square-wave driving current scheme, the storage capacitance in the LED driver can be reduced to 52.7% comparing with that in the driver using constant dc driving current. The input power factor is almost unity, which complies with lighting equipment standards such as IEC-1000-3-2 for Class C equipments. The voltage across the storage capacitors is analyzed and verified during the whole pulse width modulation dimming range. For the ease of dimming and implementation, a 50WLED driver with zero-low-level squarewave driving current is built and the experimental results are presented to verify the proposed methods. (Index TermsConverters, dimming, LED driver, lighting, pulsating driving current.) AbstractDue to their high reliability and IEEE 2013 luminous efficacy, high-brightness light-emitting diodes are being widely used in lighting applications, and therefore, their power supplies are required to have also high reliability and efficiency. A very common approach for achieving this in acdc applications is using a two-stage topology. The power factor corrector boost converter operating in the boundary

conduction mode is a very common converter used as first stage. It is normally designed without electrolytic capacitors, improving reliability but also increasing the low-frequency ripple of the output voltage. The asymmetrical half-bridge (AHB) is a perfect option for the second stage as it has very high efficiency, it operates at constant switching frequency, and its output filter is small (i.e., it can be also easily implemented without electrolytic capacitors). Moreover, the AHB is an excellent candidate for selfdriven synchronous rectification (SD-SR) as its transformer does not have dead times. However, the standard configuration of the SD-SR must bemodified in this case in order to deal with the transformer voltage variations due to the input voltage ripple and, more important, due to the LED dimming state. This modification is presented in this paper. Another important issue regarding the AHB is that its closed-loop controller cannot be very fast and it cannot easily cancel the previously mentioned low-frequency ripple. In this paper, a feedforward technique, specifically designed to overcome this problem, is also presented. The experimental results obtained with a 60-W topology show that efficiency of the AHB may be very high (94.5%), while the inherent control problems related to the AHB can be overcome by the proposed feed-forward technique.

In this study, a coupled-inductorbased dcdc converter scheme utilizes only one power switch with the properties of voltage clamping and soft switching, and the corresponding device specifications are adequately designed. As a result, the objectives of high-efficiency power conversion, high stepup ratio, and various output voltages with different levels can be obtained. Some experimental results via a kilowatt-level prototype are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed SIMO dcdc converter in practical applications. (Index TermsCoupled inductor, high-efficiency power conversion, single-input multiple-output (SIMO) converter, soft switching, voltage clamping.) AbstractThis paper presents a unique IEEE 2013 modulation method for extending the input range of pulse-width modulation (PWM)- integrated resonant converters, such as the isolated boost resonant converter, while maintaining high conversion efficiency. The technique includes primarily the hybridizing of constant-on, constantoff, and fixed-frequency control depending only on the required duty cycle. The modulation scheme reduces core loss and conduction loss dramatically by decreasing the applied volt-seconds at the transformer and improving the switching period utilization. With hybrid-frequency control, the circuit alsomaintains zero current switching for the output diodes, minimizes switching loss, and eliminates circulating energy at the transformer across the entire operating range. It also allows for a predictable voltage gain, dependent only on duty cycle and transformer turns ratio. A detailed loss analysis is provided and verified against a 180 W experimental prototype, with an input range of 1248 V and a switching frequency range of 3070 kHz. Implementation issues are also handled with a variety of solutions for realizing the modulation scheme. Experimental results show greater than 4% weighted efficiency improvement in the

The use of voltage source inverters in such cases leads to motor overvoltage and harmonic quality problems. The current source inverter (CSI) is ideally matched to these applications because of its motorfriendly voltage output. Speed sensorless operation is mandatory due to the longmotor feeder. Although the model reference adaptive system (MRAS) is a powerful and proven speed estimation tool, its implementation in long motor feeder drives faces many challenges. Among them, and addressed in this paper, are inherent dc offset in its stator model, the need for actual motor voltage and current values, and oscillations in the estimated speed due to errors in the motor current measurement signals. In this paper, a sensorless CSI vector-controlled drive, suitable for long motor feeder applications, is studied. Improved speed estimation is achieved by proposing 1) a modified dc-offset eliminator for an MRAS speed estimation and 2) a compensation technique for motor currents measurement errors. Intensive experimental results, for a low-voltage scaled model, along with simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

Zsource inverters, for the same transformer turn ratio and input and output voltages, the improved inverter has a higher modulation index with reduced voltage stress on the dc link, lower current stress flow on the transformer windings and diode, and lower input current ripple. In order to produce the same input and output voltage with the same modulation index, the improved inverter uses a lower transformer turn ratio compared to the conventional inverters. Thus, the size and weight of the transformer in the improved inverter can be reduced. This paper presents the operating principles, analysis and simulation results, and compares them with those of the conventional trans-Z-source/-quasiZ-source inverters. To verify the performance of the improved converter, a laboratory prototype was constructed based on a TMS320F2812 digital signal processor with 100 Vdc input and 115 Vrms output voltage.

In order to solve this issue, two new alternative vector sequences are proposed and compared.

sequences, voltage-source converter (VSC).) AbstractIn this paper, the differential-mode IEEE 2013 (DM) electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise of a single-phase boost power factor correction converter operating in critical current mode was analyzed. The DM noise spectra are calculated based on the mathematicalmodel of EMI receiver and the required corner frequencies of DM filter are obtained. It can be seen that the minimum corner frequencies are determined by the maximum noises at 150 kHz. With the relation between the magnitude of the inductor current ripple and theDMnoise, the characteristics of noise at 150 kHz are obtained by analyzing the current ripple magnitude at 150 kHz; thus, the worst conditions which have the maximum noise value are figured out. Meanwhile, the maximum noises at 150 kHz for different input voltages are identical, so the DM filter can be designed based on one worst spectrum at one input voltage without testing the spectra in other conditions. (Index Terms Boost converter, critical current mode (CRM), differential mode (DM), electromagnetic interference (EMI), power factor correction (PFC).) AbstractThis study is focused on integration IEEE 2013 and operation of a single-phase bidirectional inverter with two buck/boost maximum power point trackers (MPPTs) for dc-distribution applications. In a dc-distribution system, a bidirectional inverter is required to control the power flow between dc bus and ac grid, and to regulate the dc bus to a certain range of voltages.Adroop regulation mechanism according to the inverter inductor current levels to reduce capacitor size, balance power flow, and accommodate load variation is proposed. Since the photovoltaic (PV) array voltage can vary from 0 to 600 V, especially with thin-film PV panels, the MPPT topology is formed with buck and boost converters to operate at the dc-bus voltage around 380 V, reducing the voltage stress of its followed inverter.

Interleaved Boundary AbstractAn interleaved boundary conduction IEEE 2013 Conduction Mode (BCM) mode powerfactor- correction buck converter Buck Power Factor that maintains high efficiency across entire load Correction (PFC) and line range is proposed. The adaptive Converter master slave interleaving method maintains stable 180 out-of-phase operation during any transient. By interleaving two parallelconnected buck converters, the input current ripple is halved while the ripple frequency is doubled, which leads to a smaller differential mode line filter. The line current harmonic distortion is analyzed to examine the allowable output voltage range while meeting harmonic regulations. The operation and performance of the proposed circuit is verified on a 300 W, universal line experimental prototype with 80 V output. The measured efficiencies remain above 96% down to 20% of full load across the entire universal line range. Even at 10% of full-load condition, the efficiency remains above 94%.

save power losses. This letter addresses this problem by using a buck topology for the PFC stage of the single-stage single-switch converters as it can be completely turned OFF by operating the converter only near the zero crossing of the input voltage, due to the presence of the dead angle of input current. Hence, the switching and conduction losses to the transistor and diodes, and passive devices are reduced. Also, further improvement is made by finding the best combination of dc-bus capacitor charging time and discharging time to achieve the lowest power loss. A recently proposed converter topology which combines a buck PFC cell with a buckboost dc/dc cell is used as an example. Experimental results are reported and confirmed that the proposed lightload power loss reduction scheme on the converter can improve power stage efficiency by up to 7% at 1 W of output power as compared to that without the proposed scheme.

voltage single-phase inverter with an inductive filter, and a step-up transformer interfacing the grid is considered. Ideally, this topology will not inject any lower order harmonics into the grid due to high-frequency pulse width modulation operation. However, the nonideal factors in the system such as core saturation-induced distorted magnetizing current of the transformer and the dead time of the inverter, etc., contribute to a significant amount of lower order harmonics in the grid current. A novel design of inverter current control that mitigates lower order harmonics is presented in this paper. An adaptive harmonic compensation technique and its design are proposed for the lower order harmonic compensation. In addition, a proportional-resonant-integral (PRI) controller and its design are also proposed. This controller eliminates the dc component in the control system, which introduces even harmonics in the grid current in the topology considered.The dynamics of the system due to the interaction between the PRI controller and the adaptive compensation scheme is also analyzed.

In this paper, the coupling between coils in terms of impedance is derived. The coils are modeled as axisymmetric current density distributions with parallel revolution axes. The mutual impedance between the coils is obtained considering two media representing the load and the ferrite, respectively. Experimental measurements have been performed to validate the results.

Nonlinear Behavior and AbstractThree-phase voltage source IEEE 2013 Instability in a Three-Phase converters (VSCs) are commonly used to Boost Rectifier Connected convert ac power from a three-phase grid to a to a Nonideal Power Grid regulated dc voltage with unity input power With an Interacting Load factor. The control of the VSC is normally achieved by an outer voltage feedback loop and a sinusoidal pulsewidth-modulated inner current loop. However, the nonideal power grid and the presence of other interacting loads give rise to nonlinear operation and drive the VSC to enter an irreversible instability region. In this paper, an irreversible bifurcation phenomenon in a three-phase VSC connected to a power grid with an interacting load is reported. The converter can also be regarded as exhibiting a catastrophic bifurcation in which the input current expands to impose undesirable component stress. A large-signal analysis is adopted to identify the physical origin of the phenomenon and to locate the boundary of the instability. Experimental results on a 4-kVA ac/dc converter prototype provide verification of the instability phenomenon.

and ultracapacitors. The proposed system (multimode single-leg power converter) substitutes the boost converter and bidirectional converter with a multifunctional bidirectional converter and has cost effectiveness and fault tolerance, preserving the same energy conversion functionalities of the conventional energy conversion system. To verify the performance of the proposed system, its operations are categorized and explained to four different modes. Then, each mode of the proposed system is simulated and implemented experimentally using a prototype test bed. The results present that the proposed conversion system is feasible and applicable for a wide range of applications including alternative/renewable power systems and electric vehicles (EVs).(Index Terms Bidirectional converter, energy conversion, hybrid vehicles, renewable energy.) Origin of Cross-Coupling AbstractLong strings of photovoltaic (PV) IEEE 2013 Effects in Distributed DC modules are found to be vulnerable to shading DC Converters in effects, causing significant reduction in the system Photovoltaic Applications power output. To overcome this, distributed maximum power point-tracking (DMPPT) schemes have been proposed, in which individual dcdc converters are connected to each PV module to enable module-wise maximum power extraction. There are twomain concepts to implementDMMPTsystems: series and parallel configuration, describing the connection of the output terminals of the converters. Both systems are studied intensively, with innovative solutions to encountered operational challenges and novel control methods. However, a comprehensive dynamic model for neither system has been presented so far. This paper fills the gap by presenting small-signal models for both configurations, explaining the observed operational peculiarities. The analytical claims are verified with a practical system comprising two maximum power point-tracking buckboost converters. (Index TermsCascaded converters, dcdc power conversion,

Precise Accelerated AbstractIn this paper, precise accelerated IEEE 2013 Torque Control for Small torque control for a small inductance brushless Inductance Brushless DC dc motor (BLDCM) is achieved by Motor electromagnetic torque control and disturbance torque suppression. First, the electromagnetic torque ripple is reduced in commutation and conduction regions. In the former region, the ripple is suppressed by overlapping commutation control and optimizing the duty ratio of the active controller. In the latter region, the unbalance ripple caused by the unbalanced three phase windings is reduced by the proposed asymmetry compensation function, and the disturbance ripple created by the back electromotive force (EMF) is compensated by feedforward control. Second, the disturbance torque has been observed and compensated through the improved disturbance torque controller whose compensation coefficient is obtained by line-to-line back EMF coefficient estimation. And, both the disturbance observation and speed measurement are all synchronized with the encoder pulse alteration. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed accelerated torque control scheme.

PE61 Problems Incurred in a AbstractThis paper presents several of the IEEE 2013 Vector-Controlled Single- problems encountered with vector-controlled Phase Induction Motor, single-phase induction motor (SPIM), and and a Proposal for a discusses about the complex implementation of Vector-Controlled Two- a vector controlled SPIM drive. The vectorPhase Induction Motor as a controlled symmetrical two-phase induction Replacement motor (TPIM) is presented as a viable replacement for the vector-controlled SPIM. The implementation of the proposed vectorcontrolled TPIM is simple compared to the vectorcontrolled SPIM. All the TPIM parameters can be calculated simply and precisely. The proposed strategy for TPIM is derived from the indirect vector control strategy used for three-phase ac machines. Several differences between the vector control strategies for the TPIM and for three-phase ac motor are discussed. The validity of the proposed vector-controlled TPIM was verified by simulations and experiments.

Reconfigurable Solar AbstractThis paper introduces a new IEEE 2013 Converter: A Single-Stage converter called reconfigurable solar converter Power Conversion PV(RSC) for photovoltaic (PV)-battery Battery System application, particularly utility-scale PV-battery application. The main concept of the new converter is to use a single-stage threephase grid-tie solar PV converter to perform dc/ac and dc/dc operations. This converter solution is appealing for PV-battery application, because itminimizes the number of conversion stages, thereby improving efficiency and reducing cost, weight, and volume. In this paper, a combination of analysis and experimental tests is used to demonstrate the attractive performance characteristics of the proposed RSC.

input-voltage requirements. In the proposed converter, two half-bridge modules with series configuration are adopted in the primary side to reduce the switch voltage stress to half of the input voltage.Moreover, the series half-bridge cells share the same transformer and leakage inductance, which simplifies the circuit structure. Zero-voltage-switching transition is achieved for all the active switches by employing the asymmetrical control scheme to reduce the switching losses. Furthermore, the voltages of the input capacitors are automatically balanced without any additional components or complex control methods. In addition, a family of dcdc converters with series half-bridge structure is explored to give a universal discussion and extensive applications of the proposed contributions for the high input-voltage systems. Finally, a 500600-V input 48-V output 1-kW prototype operating with 100 kHz switching frequency is built and tested to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SA-HBC converter. The efficiency of 95% at full load is realized. (Index TermsHigh voltage applications and voltage autobalance ability, series asymmetrical half-bridge converter (SAHBC).)

The proposed converter is composed of two symmetric half-bridge inverters that are placed in parallel on the primary side and are driven in a phase-shifting manner to regulate the output voltage. At the rectifier stage, two full-bridge rectifiers sharing two low-current-rating diodes are employed.

Space-Vector-Modulated AbstractThe Z-source inverter is a relatively IEEE 2013 Three-Level Inverters With recent converter topology that exhibits both a Single Z-Source Network voltage-buck and voltage-boost capability. The Z-source concept can be applied to all dc-toac, acto- dc, ac-to-ac, and dc-to-dc power conversion whether two-level or multilevel. However, multilevel converters offer many benefits for higher power applications. Previous publications have shown the control of a Zsource neutral point clamped inverter using the carrier-based modulation technique. This paper presents the control of a Z-source neutral point clamped inverter using the space vector modulation technique. This gives a number of benefits, both in terms of implementation and harmonic performance. The adopted approach enables the operation of the Z-source arrangement to be optimized and implemented digitally without introducing any extra commutations. The proposed techniques are demonstrated both in simulation and through experimental results from a prototype converter.

Synchronous-Reference- AbstractSwitched boost inverter (SBI) is a IEEE 2013 Frame-Based Control of single-stage power converter derived from Switched Boost Inverter for Inverse Watkins Johnson topology. Unlike the Standalone DC Nanogrid traditional buck-type voltage source inverter Applications (VSI), the SBI can produce an ac output voltage that is either greater or less than the available dc input voltage. Also, the SBI exhibits better electromagnetic interference noise immunity when compared to the VSI, which enables compact design of the power converter. Another

advantage of SBI is that it can supply both dc and ac loads simultaneously from a single dc input. These features make the SBI suitable for dc nanogrid applications. In this paper, the SBI is proposed as a power electronic interface in dc nanogrid. The structure and advantages of the proposed SBI-based nanogrid are discussed in detail. This paper also presents a dq synchronousreference- frame-based controller for SBI, which regulates both dc and ac bus voltages of the nanogrid to their respective reference values under steady state as well as under dynamic load variation in the nanogrid. The control system of SBI has been experimentally validated using a 0.5-kW laboratory prototype of the SBI supplying both dc and ac loads simultaneously, and the relevant experimental results are given in this paper. The low cross regulation and the dynamic performance of the control system have also been verified experimentally for a 20% step change in either dc or ac load of SBI. These experimental results confirm the suitability of the SBI and its closed-loop control strategy for dc nanogrid applications.

The proposed rectifier also offers automatic voltage balancing across the two output capacitors connected in series,whichmakes it possible to use downstreamconverters designed with lower voltage-rated component that offer better performance and are less expensive than their high-voltage-rated counterparts. In addition, the proposed rectifier also exhibits low commonmode EMI noise. The performance of the proposed rectifier was evaluated on a 2.8-kW prototype with a 780-V output that was designed to operate in 340520-VL-L,RMS input-voltage range.

Triple Loop Modulation AbstractThe proposed triple loop IEEE 2013 (TLM) for High Reliability modulation (TLM) can ensure reliability of the and Efficiency in a Power power factor correction (PFC) system due to Factor Correction (PFC) the improvement of transient response. In System conventional design, low bandwidth of less than 20Hz that rejects ac source of 60/120 Hz coupling deteriorates system reliability in case of output load variation. Contrarily, the proposedTLMcan automatically adjust bandwidth to rapidly increase or decrease inductor current to shorten transient response time. Besides, in the steady state, system stability can be guaranteed by low-frequency compensation pole without being affected by the TLM. The test circuit fabricated in a VIS 500 V UHV laterally diffused metaloxide semiconductor transistor process demonstrates that the highly integrated PFC controller with the proposed TLM has high power factor of 99%, high efficiency of 95%, and high power driving capability of about 90 W. The improvement in transient response is twofold faster than in conventional PFC design with output load variation from 90 to 20W and vice versa. (Index TermsFast transient response,

Unterminated Small-Signal AbstractThe black-box modeling of dcdc IEEE 2013 Behavioral Model of DC converters has always been an attractive topic DC Converters widely used in engineering practice. However, in order to obtain unterminated model of dcdc converter, the one had to be removed from the original environment and connected to the highbandwidth voltage source and current sink for easier decoupling of the source and the load dynamics. This paper addresses an online dc dc converter characterization procedurewhere converter under test can remainworking in the original environment, at the particular operating point, and be connected to any type of the source and the load while the terminated frequency response characteristics are obtained. The source and the load dynamics can then be decoupled from the measured frequency responses using here proposed linear transformation matrix. The verification and validation of the proposed technique will be both presented in this paper. (Index Terms Behavioral model, dc power systems, decoupling, electronic power converters, unterminated transfer functions.) -Z-Source Inverters AbstractVoltage-type -Z-source inverters IEEE 2013 are proposed in this letter. They use a unique shaped impedance network for boosting their output voltage in addition to their usual voltagebuck behavior. Comparing them with other topologies, the proposed inverters use lesser components and a coupled transformer for producing the high-gain and modulation ratio simultaneously. The obtained gain can be tuned by varying the turns ratio Z of the transformer within the narrow range of 1 < Z 2. This leads to lesser winding turns at high gain, as compared to other related topologies. Experimental testing has already proven the validity of the proposed inverters.
