“…It can be obvious to see that the optimal torque curve doesn't pass through the points of maximum torque. The reason is that the maximum torque points correspond to the maximum powers, while the optimal torque is equal to that the maximum power divided by the mechanical speed as described in Equation (3).…”

“…The placed five-phase PMSG is able to contribute more reliability and availability for the conversion chains since it has higher structural redundancies relative to classical three-phase generators. Its main advantage is that it can still operate with a degraded mode when one or two phases are absent [2,3]. In practice, the phase losses are mainly attributed to disconnected phase windings, fails of rectifier leg or isolating actions of the protectors.…”

This paper firstly adopts a fault accommodation structure, a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with trapezoidal back-electromagnetic forces, in order to enhance the fault tolerance of tidal current energy conversion systems. Meanwhile, a fault-tolerant control (FTC) method is proposed using multiple second-order generalized integrators (multiple SOGIs) to further improve the systematic fault tolerance. Then, additional harmonic disturbances from phase current or back-electromagnetic forces in original and Park’s frames are characterized under a single-phase open condition. Relying on a classical field-oriented vector control scheme, fault-tolerant composite controllers are then reconfigured using multiple SOGIs by compensating q-axis control commands. Finally, a real power-scale simulation setup with a gearless back-to-back tidal current energy conversion chain and a small power-scale laboratory prototype in machine side are established to comprehensively validate feasibility and fault tolerance of the proposed method. Simulation results show that the proposed method is able to suppress the main harmonic disturbances and maintain a satisfactory fault tolerance when third harmonic flux varies. Experimental results reveal that the proposed model-free fault-tolerant design is simple to implement, which contributes to better fault-tolerant behaviors, higher power quality and lower copper losses. The main advantage of the multiple SOGIs lies in convenient online implementation and efficient multi-harmonic extractions, without considering system’s model parameters. The proposed FTC design provides a model-free fault-tolerant solution to the energy harvested process of actual tidal current energy conversion systems under different working conditions.

“…M ULTI-PHASE machines are popular in high-power drives, electric vehicles and railway traction, safetycritical electric aircraft, ship-propulsion etc. due to having advantages of reduced power rating of per-phase powerelectronic drive unit, better fault-tolerance, lesser susceptibility towards space and supply harmonics, [1]- [4]. Asymmetrical six-phase machine (ASPM), one of the most common multiphase machines, has two sets of balanced three-phase (3φ) windings with spatial angular difference of 30 • electrical, as shown in Fig.…”

Linear modulation techniques (LMTs) of an asymmetrical six-phase machine (ASPM) with two isolated neutral points synthesize the desired voltage vectors by applying at least five switching states. Different choices of applied voltage vectors, sequences in which they are used, distribution of dwelltimes among the redundant switching states give rise to a large number of possible LMTs. It is desirable that these LMTs avoid more than two transitions of a particular inverter leg within a carrier period. Only a subset of existing LMTs of ASPM follows this rule. Through an innovative approach, this paper finds a way to account for all possible infinitely many LMTs that follow the rule of at most two transitions per leg. Another important criterion for the selection of an LMT is its current-ripple performance. Therefore, through numerical optimization, the paper finds optimal LMTs among the above infinite possible LMTs for all reference voltage vectors in the linear range and for the whole feasible range of a machine parameter. This parameter is related to the leakage inductance of the machine and impacts the current ripple performance of ASPM. An optimal hybrid strategy is proposed with these optimal techniques, which outperforms all existing techniques in terms of the current ripple. The theoretical analysis is validated through simulation in Matlab and experiments performed up to 3.5 kW on a hardware prototype.

This paper presents a new control approach with an optimal third harmonic injectionbased nearest level modulation (OTHI-NLM) technique for a large-scale solar photovoltaic (SPV) system. This system uses a single-source multilevel converter to feed solar power into the grid. The merits of the optimal third harmonic injection (OTHI) and nearest level modulation (NLM) are considered for switching the SPV converter. A unique analysis to have an adaptive optimal injection with varying solar irradiance is conducted and compared with the well-known carrier-based high-frequency switching technique. The variations of harmonics for OTHI-NLM, an optimal third harmonic pulse width modulation (OTHI-PWM), and a constant third harmonic injection method are analysed at different irradiance levels. This optimal injection provides benefits such as enhanced DC bus utilization (DBU), better harmonics performance at different solar irradiance levels. The detailed methodology of the OTHI algorithm, nearest level modulation (NLM) technique with an optimal quotient calculation, and an instantaneous optimal third harmonic injection (THI) in closed-loop are presented. The comparative analysis shows the effectiveness of the SPV grid-tied structure over well-known ones. The power quality of the renewable energy system is investigated in dynamic solar irradiations. Moreover, simulation results are presented and validated in a real-time test bench.
