 (Abstract) 

Recently, as awareness of the finiteness of fossil energy, environmental pollution, and the dangers of nuclear power generation has grown, the direction of energy policy in domestic is changing to improve economic efficiency including denuclearization and a stable supply. In accordance with this policy direction, the operation of aging nuclear power plants is suspended and the construction of new nuclear power plants is being canceled. However, the power supply and demand problem due to the decrease in nuclear power generation sources can be overcome with distributed power using renewable energy and active idle resources. In the smart grid using distributed power, demand management, power quality, and power reliability improvement are important factors, and related research is ongoing. In this paper, we proposed an uninterruptible system consisting of an emergency generator and a short-cycle ESS, and proposed an integrated operation algorithm that can provide stable power to the consumer and improve power reliability

 Research on uninterruptible systems using ESS has been conducted before. However, in order to secure a long back-up time, a large-capacity battery system is required. This greatly increases the overall system cost, so there is no problem in the functional part, but in the field of construction cost, the economical efficiency of the unit price was not suitable, so the commercialization stage was not progressed. Recently, various studies using emergency generators, which were temporarily used for emergency power supply in case of power failure, have been conducted. Public institutions and for-profit institutions are also increasingly participating in DR projects for demand resources using emergency generators. In order to use the emergency generator as a demand resource, a power changeover switch is required, but in the beginning, ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) was widely used. ATS has a disadvantage that power failure occurs within about 100[ms] when switching over. It is participating in the DR project by replacing it with a CTTS (Closed Transition Transfer Switch), which is a complementary uninterruptible power changeover switch. In the case of CTTS, there is a grid tied CTTS (G-CTTS) that directly controls the AVR and governor of an emergency generator to operate in a grid-tied type, and by using this, parallel operation with a power converter is possible. 

The system proposed in this paper is composed of G-CTTS, emergency generator and short-cycle ESS. The rated power capacity of the proposed uninterruptible system is 360kW, and for each component, the inverter is 500kW, the G-CTTS and the emergency generator are 360kW. For short-cycle ESS batteries, 500kWh of carbon batteries were used, and a PC-based PMS operation program was used for power management of the entire system.

 This paper proposes the operation and element technology for the uninterruptible system consisting of an emergency generator and short-cycle ESS. The factors proposed in this paper are largely summarized into five categories.

 First, a large-capacity uninterruptible system configuration consisting of an emergency generator and a UPS was proposed. In a system composed of two voltage sources, power control is mainly handled by the inverter, but in this system, power control is performed by the emergency generator using G-CTTS. When G-CTTS performs power control during two types of parallel operation, the required function of the inverter is lowered, and a large-capacity uninterruptible system can be implemented only by applying a commercial UPS. 
Second, in order to improve the reliability and quick response of the emergency generator in parallel operation, it is necessary to precisely detect the phases of different voltage sources and control the frequency. To this end, we propose a high-precision PLL method that synchronizes the phase of the voltage source to be synchronized at high speed using a virtual d-q coordinate method. 

Third, high-speed response and output of the inverter are important for non-power failure operation. In the case of the output quick response of the inverter, the time required to the rated output increases depending on the capacity. Therefore, it is possible to operate stably only when the time for detecting a power failure is reduced as much as possible. In the case of a site with a large system impedance, the voltage THD increases when the load contains many harmonics. If the voltage condition for power failure detection is sensitively applied, it can be recognized as a power failure even if it is not a power failure. Therefore, we propose a high-speed blackout detection algorithm using Perid Time Shit that can accurately detect blackout at high speed. 

Fourth, as the short-cycle ESS is additionally installed, the capacity to supply power to the customer side increases. When the instantaneous load power increases due to nonlinear loads such as inrush current when starting the motor, the reliability of the system voltage can be enhanced through power cooperation. In case of PCS with uninterruptible function, it has fast output speed, and by using this, we propose an algorithm to cooperate power of two types of power for peak load. Fifth, to secure the reliability of PCS, we propose a PCS structure that allows parallel operation with three power stack modules even if one power stack fails by configuring a 125kW power stack in 4 parallel. In this paper, we proposed a long-cycle uninterruptible system using an emergency generator and a short-cycle ESS, analyzed and proposed the necessary technology to operate it, and developed and manufactured a 500[kW] class G-CTTS and inverter. The proposed study was validated through simulations and experiments.

This thesis was presented by Aidan Mac Phillips It was defended on July 13, 2020 and approved by Dr. Brandon Grainger, PhD., Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Dr. Alan George, PhD., Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Dr. William Stanchina, PhD., Professor Emeritus, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Thesis Advisor: Dr. Brandon Grainger, PhD., Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering 
 ABSTRACT
Gallium Nitride (GaN) devices show particular promise for space-rated power conversion applications that rely on MOSFET technology whose performance is severely limited by the radiation hardening processes. Though GaN failure mode classification and radiation hardened device variety is limited, the current space-rated selection pool can still yield significant efficiency and power density improvements. However, the context of GaN research is often future oriented such that the application of GaN to common, proven, space-rated converter designs are rare. The presented work quantifies the performance benefits of market available, space-rated GaN HEMTs over radiation hardened MOSFETs for a synchronous forward converter, which remains an extremely popular topology for isolated, medium power, DC-DC conversion on NASA satellite systems. Two 75-Watt, space-rated forward converters were designed, implemented, and benchmarked, with the power switch technology being the single variable of change. By forming pareto-optimal fronts of the key device metrics, optimal Rad-hard MOSFETs were chosen so that the baseline converter performance was considered best-case. The frequency limitations of common, available, Rad-hard PWM controllers limited power density in the GaN and Si converters alike, however, efficiency gains proved sizeable. The GaN based converter saw a peak efficiency of 86%, which was a 4.54% improvement over the Si baseline. Detailed efficiency and loss differential plots are presented which show the GaN converter’s reduced sensitivity to input voltage. Extreme similarity between the waveforms and functional characteristics of the two converters verified the design of the experiment. Furthermore,the performance of the baseline Si converter proved very similar to that of a large sampling of space-rated forward converters, making the experimental results have a high degree of utility for manufacturers.

 Advanced Control Design for Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System and Electric Drives
 By Kamran Zeb August 2020 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering The Graduate School Pusan National University 

 Abstract 
The application of Photovoltaic (PV) in the distributed generation system is acquiring more consideration with the developments in power electronics technology and global environmental concerns. Solar PV is playing a key role in consuming the solar energy for the generation of electric power. The use of solar PV is growing exponentially due to its clean, pollution-free, abundant, and inexhaustible nature. In grid-connected PV systems, significant attention is required in the design and operation of the inverter to achieve high efficiency for diverse power structures. The requirements for the grid-connected inverter include; low total harmonic distortion of the currents injected into the grid, maximum power point tracking, high efficiency, and controlled power injected into the grid. The performance of the inverters connected to the grid depends mainly on the control scheme applied. In this thesis, the global status of the PV market, classification of the PV system, configurations of the grid-connected PV inverter, classification of various inverter types, and topologies are discussed, described and presented in a schematic manner. A concise summary of the control methods for single- and three-phase inverters has also been presented. Finally, the criteria for the selection of inverters and the future trends are comprehensively presented. In addition, Grid-Connected PVS required advance DC-link controllers to overcome second harmonic ripple and current controllers to feed-in high-quality current to the grid. This thesis successfully presents the design of a Fuzzy-Logic Based PI (F-PI) and Fuzzy-Logic based Sliding Mode Controller (F-SMC) for the DC-link voltage controller and Proportional Resonant (PR) with Resonant Harmonic Compensator (RHC) as a current controller for a Single-Phase Two-Stages Grid-connected Transformerless (STGT) PV Inverter. The current controller is designed with and without a feedforward PV power loop to improve dynamics and control. A Second Order General Integral (SOGI)-based Phase Lock Loop (PLL) is also designed that has a fast-dynamic response, fast-tracking accuracy, and harmonic immunity. A 3 kW STGT-PV system is used for simulation in Matlab/Simulink. A comparative assessment of designed controllers is carried out with a conventionally well-tuned PI controller. The designed controllers improve the steady-state and dynamic performance of the grid-connected PV system. In addition, the results, performance measure analysis, and harmonics contents authenticate the robustness, fastness, and effectiveness of the designed controllers, related to former works. In this thesis, Smart Grid Initiative of the U.S department of energy based Single Phase Voltage-Source Smart Inverter (SPV-SSI) 5 kVA is designed and analyzed in detail that has the combined capability of supplying power to local load, injecting power into grid, supplying power to the utility load up to rated capacity of the inverter, store energy in lead acid battery bank, the ability to control voltage at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) during voltage sags/faults, and decision making capability on real time pricing information obtained from the utility grid through advance metering. This thesis also includes complete design of Smart Inverter in dq synchronous reference frame, bidirectional DC-DC Buck-Boost converter, IEEE standard 1547 based islanding and recloser, and STATCOM functionalities. Moreover, optimal and advance controllers i.e. F-PI and F-SMC are designed. The performance of F-PI and Fxvi SMC is superior, stable, and robust in comparison to that of conventionally tuned PI controllers both for voltage control loop (islanded mode) and current control loop (grid connected mode). The simulation results effectively validate the efficacy of the proposed controllers. This thesis also presents modeling and design of a digital PR with RHC to feed-in high quality current. The novelty is on designing the control in a different approach than the conventional methods. As a result, practical engineers find an easy, fast and accurate way to design the control strategy. The proposed system has the capability to inject both active and reactive power in an effective manner. Synchronous reference frame-based phase lock loop that works well under nonideal and distorted grids, is used for synchronization. The platform used for simulation and auto code generation is PSIM 9.1 while code composer studio 6.2.0 is used for debugging. The feasibility and effectiveness of the design controller is also validated using Typhoon (Hardware in Loop) HIL 402 device for real time testing on the DSP board TMS32F28335 from Texas Instruments. The designed controller is tested under various distortion, disturbance, and non-ideal condition. The simulation and HIL results authenticate the robustness, fastness, and efficacy of the designed controller. Recently, the Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC) scheme for Induction Motors (IM) has gained wide acceptance in high performance applications. The IFOC has remarkable characteristics of decoupling torque and flux along with an easy hardware implementation. However, the detuning limits the performance of drives due to uncertainties of parameters. Conventionally, the use of a PID controller has been very frequent in variable speed drive applications. However, it does not allow for the operation of an IM in a wide range of speeds. In order to tackle these problems, optimal, robust, and adaptive control algorithms are mostly in use. The work presented in this thesis is based on new optimal, robust, and adaptive control strategies, including an Adaptive PI controller, sliding mode control, Fuzzy Logic (FL) control based on Steepest Descent (SD), Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithms, FL based on Newton Algorithm (NA), FL based on Gauss Newton Algorithm (GNA) and Hybrid Control (HC) or adaptive sliding mode controller to overcome the deficiency of conventional control strategies. In addition, The main theme is to design a robust control scheme having faster dynamic response, reliable operation for parameter uncertainties and speed variation, and maximized torque and efficiency of the IM. The test bench of the IM control has three main parts: IM model, Inverter Model, and control structure. The IM is modelled in synchronous frame using 𝑑𝑞 modelling while the Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique is used for modulation of the inverter. Our proposed controllers are critically analyzed and compared with the PI controller considering different conditions: parameter uncertainties, speed variation, load disturbances, and under electrical faults. In addition, the results validate the effectiveness of the designed controllers and are then related to former works.

Control Design of a Single-Phase DC/AC Inverter for PV Applications--By Haoyan Liu University of Arkansas, Fayetteville


 Control Design of a Single-Phase DC/AC Inverter for PV Applications 

 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering by Haoyan Liu 
Harbin University of Science and Technology Bachelor of Engineering in Automation, 2012 

 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville 

 Abstract
 This thesis presents controller designs of a 2 kVA single-phase inverter for photovoltaic (PV) applications. The demand for better controller designs is constantly rising as the renewable energy market continues to rapidly grow. Some background research has been done on solar energy, PV inverter configurations, inverter control design, and hardware component selection. Controllers are designed both for stand-alone and grid-connected modes of operation. For standalone inverter control, the outer control loop regulates the filter capacitor voltage. Combining the synchronous frame outer control loop with the capacitor current feedback inner control loop, the system can achieve both zero steady-state error and better step load performance. For grid-tied inverter control, proportional capacitor current feedback is used. This achieves the active damping needed to suppress the LCL filter resonance problem. The outer loop regulates the inverter output current flowing into the grid with a proportional resonant controller and harmonic compensators. With a revised grid synchronization unit, the active power and reactive power can be decoupled and controlled separately through a serial communication based user interface. To validate the designed controllers, a scaled down prototype is constructed and tested with a digital signal processor (DSP) TMS320F28335.
