ABSTRACT

 CubeSats, miniature satellites, are playing an increasingly larger role in space exploration, technology demonstrations, scientific research and educational investigations. These miniature satellites provide a low-cost platform for various missions, including planetary space exploration; Earth observation; fundamental Earth and space science; and technology demonstrations such as cutting-edge laser communications, energy storage, in-space propulsion and autonomous movement capabilities. They also allow educators an inexpensive means to engage students in all phases of satellite development, operation and exploitation through real-world, hands-on research and development experience. There has been a rising emergence of researchers, universities and professional institutions constituting towards the development and launching of these CubeSats. CubeSat is a generic term for a miniature satellite which is designed using commercial offthe-shelf components for development of its electronics framework [1] which capcitates anyone to build a satellite. A CubeSat has a volume of 1 liter, which translates into a cube having a 10 cm edge. A typical CubeSat weighs approximately 1 kilogram. The most remarkable feature of such satellites is the simplified development cycle; the use of off-the-shelf hardware and easy access to software resources has led to rapid rise in the number of the CubeSats deployed. They provide an economic approach for academia to contribute towards space research. CubeSats are highly modular and can be used to form larger satellites. The electrical system of a CubeSat is driven by the EPS, the powerhouse of the CubeSat. It is responsible for powering the various components of the CubeSat which includes the control unit, servo mechanisms, scientific equipment and communication modules.

 Abstract

 Renewable Energy Sources (RES) showed enormous growth in the last few years. In comparison with the other RES, solar power has become the most feasible source because of its unique properties such as clean, noiseless, eco-friendly nature, etc. During the extraction of electric power, the DC–DC converters were given the prominent interest because of their extensive use in various applications. Photovoltaic (PV) systems generally suffer from less energy conversion efficiency along with improper stability and intermittent properties. Hence, there is a necessity of the Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm to ensure the maximum power available that can be harnessed from the solar PV. In this paper, the most important features of the DC/DC converters along with the MPPT techniques are reviewed and analyzed. A detailed comprehensive analysis is made on different converter topologies of both non-isolated and isolated DC/DC converters. Then, the modulation strategies, comparative performance evaluation are addressed systematically. At the end, recent advances and future trends are described briefly and considered for the next-generation converter’s design and applications. This review work will provide a useful structure and reference point on the DC/DC converters for researchers and designers working in the field of solar PV applications.

 Abstract: 

conventional microinverters with transformers and multiple-stage system increases the cost, weight and size, lowering the effectiveness and power density of PV system. It is therefore desirable to prevent using these methods for a microinverter. However, extra care must be taken to prevent component stress, excess switching and conduction losses, ground leakage currents and harmonics. Several transformerless buck–boost inverters have lately been suggested to address various issues. Due to the availability of a number of buck–boost inverter-topology for the solar PV system, it is often difficult to identify when to choose the appropriate topology. Therefore, in order to present a clear view of the advancement of transformerless buck–boost inverters for next-generation grid-integrated PV systems, this article seeks to explore multiple buck–boost topologies with an extensive analytical comparison. Computer simulations for the 70 W system have been conducted in PLECS software to strengthen the results and comparisons, as well as to provide more insight into the features of the distinct topologies for the building-integrated photovoltaic implementation. At the later part, voltage and current stress in each component, efficiency and total harmonic distortion of the system are provided with a general summary, as well as, a technology roadmap.

Design and Implementation of a Low-cost Back-to-back Dynamic Voltage Restorer -Authors Chao-Tsung Ma and Yi-Hung Tian -Department of EE, CEECS, National United University, Taiwan

 

Design and Implementation of a Low-cost Back-to-back Dynamic Voltage Restorer Chao-Tsung Ma  and Yi-Hung Tian 

ABSTRACT

 The dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a power converter-based device widely used in power distribution systems to improve voltage quality. A conventional DVR includes an energy storage device (ESD) to provide the required power for a limited duration of voltage sag. However, the employment of ESD increases the DVR costs and limits its functionality. This research paper investigated a single-phase back-to-back DVR with simulation and small-scale hardware implementation. The proposed DVR includes two inverters connected in series and parallel with the distribution system, respectively, to enable bidirectional power flow. The advantage of this topology is its ability to compensate for longer voltage sags and swells, thus achieving a low-cost design. Using digital control scheme, the proposed DVR is able to perform multiple control functions simultaneously, including voltage swell/sag compensation, power factor correction (PFC), and harmonic current compensation. Based on the aforesaid, this paper reviews the related literature on DVR and then introduces the working principles of DVR and the proposed control scheme. Also, two sets of simulation studies and hardware tests were performed to do so. The typical results derived from the software simulation and small-scale hardware implementation are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed DVR and the related control scheme. Keywords: Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR); power quality control; back-to-back converter; digital controller.

This study proposes an optimized design method of LCL filter in grid connected inverter system using various pulse width modulation (PWM) methods. Recently, many contries around the world are implementing low carbon policies to prevent glob al warming. Importance of new renewable energy such as photovoltaic power , fuel cells and wind power generation is coming to the fore significantly . And also many countries are interested in the development of smart grid technology because it is necessary to develop a technology which connect s distributed power sources to power systems in order to introduce renewable energy. The Smart Grid means operating an effective power network by combining ICT (Information and Communication Te chnologies) with existing power grids. As the photovoltaic power generation and fuel cell power generation are DC power generation units , they are used in conjunction with the power grid like as electrical power system with converting DC to AC using inverter The harmonics is caused by switching control of the inverter and these harmonic components should be compiled with standard of IEEE (IEEE 519, IEEE 1547.2) and also THD (Total Harmonics Distortion) of output current should be limited to within 5 % based on this standard . For this reason, it is necessary to reduce harmonics by using filters at input and output sides of the inverter. In the past, L filter was used mainly , but drawback is increasing volume and weakness of dynamic characteristic as L filter capacity is increased. Therefore, recently LC filter or LCL filter are mainly used and various studies in terms of the filter design are under progressing. LCL filter has a combined structure with L filter and LC filter of inverter and has same characteristics with the third order low pass filter, furthermore same level of harmonics can be reduced with using only small capacity compared with L filter. However, there are some disadvantages that design is complicated and unwilling resonance might be happened. This paper proposes on optimized design method of the LCL filter based on the inverter topologies and switching methods. There is no different of design value from others in the low range of voltage modulating factor but the higher tolerance is happened, the bigger voltage modulating factor is incresead, This paper shows optimized design method related to this improvements. The simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods: 3 phase 2 level, 3 level topologies and SVPWM, DPWM switching methods for the grid connected inverter. Moreover, 3kW experimental setups are used to identify the feasibility of their methods.
