Abstract:Inverter voltage control is an important task in the operation of a DC/AC microgrid system. To improve the inverter voltage control dynamics, traditional approaches attempt to measure and feedforward the load current, which, however, needs remote measurement with communications in a microgrid system with distributed loads. In this paper, a load current observer (LCO) based control strategy, which does not need remote measurement, is proposed for sinusoidal signals tracking control of a three-phase inverter of the microgrid. With LCO, the load current is estimated precisely, acting as the feedforward of the dual-loop control, which can effectively enlarge the stability margin of the control system and improve the dynamic response to load disturbance. Furthermore, multiple PR regulators are applied in this strategy conducted in a stationary αβ frame to suppress the transient fluctuations and the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output voltage and achieve faster transient performance compared with traditional dual-loop control in a rotating dq0 frame under instantaneous change of various types of load (i.e., balanced load, unbalanced load, and nonlinear load). The parameters of multiple PR regulators are analyzed and selected through the root locus method and the stability of the whole control system is OPEN ACCESS Energies 2015, 8 7543 evaluated and analyzed. Finally, the validity of the proposed approach is verified through simulations and a three-phase prototype test system with a TMS320F28335 DSP.
Flexible and robust multifunctional electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are playing an increasingly important role in areas of aerospace, electronic communication, artificial intelligence, and wearable electronic devices. Herein, the magnetic and conductive Ti3C2T
x
/(ANF@FeNi) EMI shielding composite films are fabricated via in situ growth and vacuum‐assisted filtration methods. The introduction of magnetic FeNi nanoparticles can effectively enhance the electromagnetic recombination losses, leading to improved EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of the composite films. The obtained Ti3C2T
x
/(ANF@FeNi) composite films show excellent EMI shielding and electrothermal conversion performances. When the mass fraction of Ti3C2T
x
and FeNi fillers is 60 wt% and their mass ratio is 4:1, the EMI SE of the composite films (50 μm) reaches 60.7 dB in the X‐band (8.2–12.4 GHz). When a low voltage of 3 V is applied, the surface heating temperature of the composite films quickly reaches 111.2 °C. Moreover, the composite films possess satisfied long‐term heating stability under the constant applied voltage. In addition, the composite films exhibit excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. The thermal conductivity (λ) and thermal diffusivity (α) reach 4.72 W m−1 K−1 and 4.36 mm2 s−1, respectively, and the tensile strength and tensile modulus reach 113.4 MPa and 3.1 GPa, respectively.
