Zero Dynamic DC-Link Voltage Control for Current Source Converter Under Grid Disturbances

Abstract

DC-link dynamic is one of the most important issues for current source converters (CSC). In practice, the dc-link voltage suffers from the slow dynamic due to grid disturbances, which will affect the quality of output waveform and damage the converter. Many solutions have been presented to cope with it, but none of them achieve the zero dynamic dc-link voltage control. In order to fill the technical gap, a novel solution is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the impact of grid disturbances on the current source converter (CSC) is discussed with instantaneous power theory and small signal model analysis. Secondly, a new solution is presented to eliminate the adverse impacts of grid disturbances, so as to achieve the zero dynamic dc-link control concept. Meanwhile, the power quality of grid current is improved. Finally, the experiments for the proposed solution under grid disturbances are carried out with TMS320F28335 DSP + XC3400 FPGA digital control hardware platform. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

Classification Strategy for Power Quality Disturbances Based on Variational Mode Decomposition Algorithm and Improved Support Vector Machine

“…They first obtained wavelet energy entropy through transformation, constructed combinations to find the sub-decision tree classifiers, and finally performed simulation experiments under different noise conditions. The authors of [12] first analyzed the interference signals using the fast S-transform to obtain a one-dimensional vector. Then, they extracted the standard deviation of the modulus coefficients of each frequency band (including the coefficients corresponding to the rated frequency) as the interference feature vector.…”

Study of the Open-Source Arduino DUE Board as Digital Control Platform for Three-Phase Power Converters

“…In every execution of the control algorithm, the state of the power switches is updated, the electrical signals from the sensors are acquired and converted to a digital register, and the controller and modulation strategy defines the states of the power valves for the next sampling period. Some typical digital platforms used to control power converters are Digital Signal Processors (DSP) based platforms [10]- [14]. Simultaneously, dSPACE systems are popular to implement new control strategies because they allow straightforward programming [15]- [19].…”

“…The Arduino DUE board was launched in October 2012 and costs 40 USD [30]. The main difference between the Arduino DUE and the other Arduino boards is the use of a 32-bits SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 [14], a RISC processor with more resources than those used in the Arduino UNO and Arduino MEGA. Moreover, compared with Arduino Portenta H7, the last Arduino board launched, which is based on a dual Cortex-M7+M4 processor.…”
