EMC Aspects of PWM Controlled Loads in Vehicles Sabine Marksell-Department of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation Lund University-Licentiate Thesis
EMC Aspects of PWM Controlled Loads in Vehicles Sabine Marksell-Department of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation Lund University-Licentiate Thesis Abstract The number of electrically driven loads in a modern vehicle is constantly increasing. Many loads that former were mechanically driven will in the future be driven by electricity. This implies that a number of electronic systems have to be packed together in the limited space in a vehicle. When different electronic systems are placed close to each other, there is always a risk for electromagnetic interference between the different systems causing malfunction or even failure. It is important to ensure that this does not happen, and this concept is called electromagnetic compatibility, EMC. EMC implies that different electrical systems should be able to work in close proximity without affecting each other. From the EMC point of view, integration of electric traction drives in present vehicles represents a considerable challenge. In order to save energy, many electrical loads can be controlled on demand. A common and energy efficient way to do this is to use a method called pulse width modulation, PWM, where the load voltage is pulsed in order to create the desired average output voltage. When this method is employed, the voltage pulses are present on the conductors between the power electronic converter and the load. Since the space in a vehicle is limited, it is often not possible to place the power electronic converter close to the load. Consequently, long conductors are often required between the power electronic converter and the load. The steep edges of the voltage pulses and the fundamental of the square wave, called the switching frequency, together with the long conductors cause electromagnetic interference problems. These disturbances could interfere with, for example, the radio in the vehicle. In this thesis, different electromagnetic compatibility aspects of a pulse width modulated system are investigated. Some solutions are proposed in order to mitigate the disturbances. The solutions involve increasing the rise and fall times of the voltage pulses and employing a randomly varying switching frequency. Also the effects from different conductor layouts, such as using the vehicle body sheet metal as a current return path or having the lead-in and return conductor close to each other, are investigated. In order to evaluate the results from the different setups, the voltage across the load and the radiated magnetic field are measured. The experimental results in this thesis show that a conductor should be used for current return and that this conductor should be placed as close to the lead-in conductor as possible in order to suppress electromagnetic noise. It is also shown that a randomly varying switching frequency will give a more broadband noise in the switching frequency range. Increasing the resistance of the gate resistor mitigates the disturbance in the higher frequency areas at the expense of increased switching losses.

Abstract: The pulse-width modulation (PWM) scheme is an algorithm for inverter switch control. A two-leg bridge and
three-level PWM are typical solutions in voltage source inverters in uninterruptible power supply systems. The three
PWM schemes that are used in inverters are compared herein. Each scheme has different features, including the level
of noise generated and interference in the different frequency ranges. The aim of this study is to analyse the
characteristics and electromagnetic interference that is generated by an inverter using different PWM schemes.

Design and Implementation of Hybrid Active Power Filter (Hapf) for UPS System Mahendar Kumar1*, Zubair .A Memon1, M .Aslam Uqaili1-1Institute of Information & Communication Technologies (IICT) Mehran University of Engineering & Technology (MUET), Jamshoro Sindh, 76090, PAKISTAN
Design and Implementation of Hybrid Active Power Filter (Hapf) for UPS System Mahendar Kumar*, Zubair .A Memon, M .Aslam Uqaili
Abstract:
Hybrid Active Power Filter (HAPF) is designed and applied for Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) System to mitigate harmonic currents in UPS during the power conversion from rectifiers to inverters (AC-DC-AC Converters). Various UPS types and topologies are used for continuous power supply without delay and protection to connected loads. In spite of the fact that UPS is one of the power quality apparatus but it has also drawback of disturbing the power system quality of system by current harmonics and voltage distortion during conversion of power. Passive and EMI Filters could not eliminate harmonics effectively from UPS system therefore it requires modern, rapid filtering method as well combination of Active and Passive Filters. Proposed model of HAPF for UPS System could mitigate current harmonics for optimal power transfer and minimize losses, increase overall efficiency, reliability and life span of equipment. Higher harmonic current and higher voltage distortion leads to greater power loss. In this paper the (d-q) theorem is applied for the identification of harmonic currents. The d-q theorem and calculation creates the signal of reference compensation current and this produced signal of current is tracked by the yield current of the voltage source converter.. Hysteresis based controller for HAPF is applied to create the switching signals to regulate and maintain the voltage source converter output currents. Harmonics and efficiencies are analyzed at different loads and on charging and discharging of batteries of various UPS System in different industries and sectors on the basis of experimental investigation then HAPF is designed and implemented. In simulation results, it is observed that THD reduced from 46 to 10%, the harmonic currents were compensated and eliminated effectively which improved power quality of UPS System. Furthermore, addition of proposed HAPF could save the power up to 15 % which lost due to poor power quality of UPS System.

Abstract
Wind-Diesel Hybrid Systems (WDHSs) integrate wind turbines into diesel power systems,
reducing costs and emissions in isolated grids. Due to the no-load consumption of the
Diesel Generators (DGs), fuel savings are only possible when the DGs are shut down.
This requires a proper implementation of the frequency control to avoid perturbations
because of the wind speed variations. During wind-only (WO) operation, the Synchronous
Machine (SM) generates the isolated grid voltage and the frequency controller varies the
energy stored/supplied by an Energy Storage System and consumed by the controllable
loads to balance the power. In this paper, a Battery-based Energy Storage System (BESS)
uses Li-Ion batteries with a Dual Active Bridge (DAB) and a grid-tie inverter connected to
the isolated network. The controllable load is an Irrigation Water Supply System (IWSS),
consisting of a pump supplying water to a reservoir tank. The pump is driven by a variable
speed drive that uses a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The coordinated
control of BESS and IWSS gives full priority to the BESS for harnessing the wind potential whereas the IWSS consumes the excess of wind power. The full Wind Diesel Power
System (WDPS) is modelled and simulated to validate the proposed system for different
case scenarios.

Abstract: Higher cost and stochastic nature of intermittent renewable energy (RE) resources complicate their planning,integration and operation of electric power system. Therefore, it is critical to determine the appropriate sizes of RE sources andassociated energy storage for efficient, economic and reliable operation of electric power system. In this study, two constraint-based iterative search algorithms are proposed for optimal sizing of the wind turbine (WT), solar photovoltaic (PV) and thebattery energy storage system (BESS) in the grid-connected configuration of a microgrid. The first algorithm, named as sourcessizing algorithm, determines the optimal sizes of RE sources while the second algorithm, called as battery sizing algorithm,determines the optimal capacity of BESS. These algorithms are mainly based upon two key essentials, i.e. maximum reliabilityand minimum cost. The proposed methodology aims to avoid over- and under-sizing by searching every possible solution in thegiven search space. Moreover, it considers the forced outage rates of PV, WT and utilisation factor of BESS which makes itmore realistic. Simulation results depict the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Abstract
Battery storage is usually employed in Photovoltaic (PV) system to mitigate the power fluctuations due to the characteristics of PV panels and solar irradiance. Control schemes for PV-battery systems must be able to stabilize the bus voltages as well as to control the power flows flexibly. This paper proposes a comprehensive control and power management system (CAPMS) for PV-battery-based hybrid microgrids with both AC and DC buses, for both grid-connected and islanded modes. The proposed CAPMS is successful in regulating the DC and AC bus voltages and frequency stably, controlling the voltage and power of each unit flexibly, and balancing the power flows in the systems automatically under different operating circumstances, regardless of disturbances from switching operating modes, fluctuations of irradiance and temperature, and change of loads. Both simulation and experimental case studies are carried out to verify the performance of the proposed method.

Abstract
This dissertation focuses on improving the dynamic behavior of microgrids during the abnormal
conditions. For this purpose, novel approaches are presented to turn the conventional
inverters implemented in distributed generation (DG) units into smart inverters capable of
dealing with disturbances. In the context of microgrids, the smartness of an inverter is tied
to its ability to cope with abnormalities such as sudden load changes, loss of generation, and
transitions between different modes of operation. Founded on these principles, this dissertation
advances the state-of-the-art in enhancing the dynamic response of microgrids. To
this end, firstly, a new approach of forming smart loads in a fleet of nanogrids, which is
also referred as a grid of nanogrids (GNG), is presented in this dissertation. The proposed
smart load configuration is obtained via series connection of electric dampers (EDs) with
critical loads to cope with disturbances at the point of critical loads. A systematic approach
is presented for modeling of the proposed smart loads considering the switching states of
EDs. The stability of the smart loads is then studied using the developed state-space model.
Secondly, the conventional controllers of battery energy storage system (BESS) and photovoltaic
(PV) units are modified in this dissertation in order to enable them to participate
in dynamic-response enhancement of islanded mixed-inertia microgrids. For this purpose,
two piecewise linear-elliptic (PLE) droops are proposed and employed in BESS to improve
the voltage and frequency profiles during abnormalities. Besides, the controllers of PV units
are equipped with an adaptive piecewise droop (APD) to cope with disturbances. Lastly,
an approach is presented in this dissertation for seamless interconnection of three singlephase
feeders at distribution level for residential communities that are suffering from power
imbalance within the phases during islanded mode. To attain this, a seamless transition
algorithm is presented which monitors the system condition in real time and sends appropriate
commands to the static transfer switches (STSs) and modified controllers of single-phase
inverters. Using the proposed method for interconnecting the isolated single-phase feeders
results in forming a unified single-phase residential microgrid and maintaining the power
balance and voltage level within all three phases. Moreover, the proposed approach enables
the residential community to seamlessly reconnect to the main grid after resolving the abnormal
condition on the grid side. In this dissertation, numerous case studies are carried
out in PSCAD/EMTDC environment to validate the viability of proposed approaches in
improving the dynamic behavior of microgrids.

Comparison Between Different Droop Based Control Techniques and a Virtual Control Oscillator Carlos G. C. Branco1,*, Jordi El Mariachet Carreno1, Mingshen Li1, Francisco Kleber de A. Lima2, José Matas1, Josep M. Guerrero3
Comparison Between Different Droop Based Control Techniques and a Virtual Control Oscillator Carlos G. C. Branco1,*, Jordi El Mariachet Carreno1, Mingshen Li1, Francisco Kleber de A. Lima2, José Matas1, Josep M. Guerrero Abstract: This work presents a literature review about control techniques for parallel connected power inverters under microgrid applications. Some control strategies, based on droop control for parallel inverters of distributed generation units in an ac distribution system will be presented in this work. Finally, an important method called Virtual Oscillating Control (VOC) is suggested for connecting voltage source inverters. Inverters are able to work in parallel with a constant-voltage constant frequency system, as well as with other inverters and also in standalone operation. The different power sources can share the load also under unbalanced conditions. Throughout this work several simulation results are presented in order to demonstrate the behaviour.

Compensation of Voltage Sags and Swells Using Dynamic Voltage Restorer Based on Bi-Directional H-Bridge AC/AC Converter Yu-KChen , Xian-Zhi Qiu , Yung-Chun Wu , and Chau-Chung Song Citation: Chen, Y.-K.; Qiu, X.-Z.; Wu, Y.-C.; Song, C.-C. Compensation of Voltage Sags and Swells Using Dynamic Voltage Restorer Based on Bi-Directional H-Bridge AC/AC Converter. Academic Editors: Chang-Hua Lin and Jahangir Hossain Received: Published: 30 August 2021 Department of Aeronautical Engineering, National Formosa University, Hu-Wei 632, Taiwan
Abstract: In this paper, the compensation of voltage sags and swells using a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) based on a bi-directional AC/AC converter is presented for stabilizing single-phase AC line voltage. The H-bridge AC/AC converter with bi-directional switches and without bulk capacitor is adopted as the power topology of the proposed system. The proposed novel topology of DVR is adopted to compensate both voltage sag and swell conditions. Additionally, the power factor is closed to unity because a bulk capacitor is not required. The inner and outer loop control is proposed to improve the response with gain scaling; gain control is adopted to reduce the overshoot. Finally, a 2 kVA prototype has been implemented to verify the performance and accuracy of the control method for the DVR system. The peak efficiency of the system is up to 94%, and it can compensate 50% voltage swells and 25% voltage sags.

A Study of Control Technique in Stationary Reference Frame for Improving the Disturbance Rejection Performance in Parallel Operation of Multi-Modular UPS--Hyo-Jun Ryu-- Department of Automotive Engineering (Automotive-Computer Convergence) Graduate School of Hanyang University
A Study of Control Technique in Stationary Reference Frame for Improving the Disturbance Rejection Performance in Parallel Operation of Multi-Modular UPS--Hyo-Jun Ryu-- Department of Automotive Engineering (Automotive-Computer Convergence) Graduate School of Hanyang University
ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a control technique for improving the disturbance rejection
performance of a voltage controller during the parallel operation of multi modular
UPS. In a single operation of the modular UPS, it is possible to improve disturbance
rejection performance by conducting the feed-forward compensation for the load
current, which is the disturbance of the voltage controller. However, a circulating
current may occur when the modular UPS operates in parallel with the feed-forward
control compensates for the load current. As a result, load sharing between UPS
modules becomes uneven, and in severe cases, the parallel operation may not be
possible. In this paper, the circulating current impedance model according to the
load current feed-forward compensation gain explains the circulating current
occurrence during the modular UPS parallel operation. In addition, a control
technique, which is the feed-forward compensation for a portion of the load current
considering a decrease of circulating current impedance, is proposed. However, the
load current feed-forward compensation technique that considers circulating
current impedance deteriorates disturbance rejection performance compared to a
single operation of modular UPS, which is possible to apply for the load current feedforward
compensation regardless of circulating current impedance. Therefore, this
paper proposes another feed-forward compensation technique with a 2-DOF voltage
controller structure to improve the reduced disturbance rejection performance. This
technique ensures the cascade control performance of the structure of the voltagecurrent
controller by maintaining the voltage controller's reference tracking
performance and improving the disturbance rejection performance of the voltage
controller. The effectiveness of the proposed feed-forward compensation technique
is demonstrated by experimental results obtained through the operation of the fourparallel
connected the 500 W modular double conversion UPS.
