PhD thesis, University of Sheffield. 

 Abstract This thesis is focused on the modelling and analysis of DC-DC converter topologies used for bidirectional charging of electric vehicles. Bidirectional converters are used in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems to allow bidirectional power transfer between the vehicle and the grid. Following the investigation in the literature review of potential converter topologies used in V2G applications and modelling techniques, this research proposes the application of the cyclic-averaging method for analysis of the Dual Active Bridge, 4th order resonant CLLC converter, and series compensated Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) converter. First, the cyclic-averaging method is applied for analysis of a phase-shift modulated Dual Active Bridge converter (DAB). For implementation of the cyclic analysis, the operation of the converter is first analysed using a Spice simulation to determine the system’s operation modes and duty cycles. The cyclic-averaging model is validated against a Spice simulation and employed to predict the converter’s output and to perform harmonic analysis of the inductor current. Following the analysis of the DAB, a 4th order CLLC converter is evaluated considering frequency and phase-shift modulations. The cyclic-averaging model is derived to model the behaviour of the converter’s output and state-variables in steady state. Additionally, a Fundamental Mode Approximation (FMA) model and a novel piecewise-linear state-variable model are also implemented for comparison. The models obtained are validated using Spice and, for the phase-shift modulated converter, experimental results. Finally, the series compensated IPT converter is analysed considering operation under phase-shift modulation. A FMA model is derived and, using circuit transformation, the state-variable and cyclic-averaging models previously defined for the CLLC converter are adapted for the analysis of the IPT converter. A prototype is built for validation of the cyclic model. Overall, for all converters analysed in this research, the cyclic-averaging method showed good performance with considerably fast execution and accuracy similar to Spice simulations.

 Feed-Forward Compensation Technique in Stationary Reference Frame for the Enhanced Disturbance Rejection Performance in Parallel Operation of Double-Conversion UPSs

Abstract 

Generally, a proportional-resonant controller is used to eliminate steady-state errors during the voltage– current control of a double-conversion uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in a stationary reference frame. Additionally, the feed-forward control compensating for the load current, which can be considered a disturbance of the voltage controller, can be used to improve the disturbance rejection performance. However, during the parallel operation of UPSs, circulating current can occur between UPS modules when performing both feed-forward control and droop control because feed-forward control reduces the circulating current impedance. This study proposes a feed-forward compensation technique that considers the impedance of circulating current. An additional feed-forward compensation technique is developed to enhance the disturbance rejection performance. The validity of the proposed feed-forward compensation technique is verified by the experiment results of the parallel operation of a 500 W double-conversion UPS module.

A Comparative Review of Three Different Power Inverters for DC–AC Applications Ali Abdel-Aziz 1 , Mohamed A. Elgenedy 2,* and Barry Williams 1-25 October 2023

 A comparative review of three different power inverters for DC–AC applications

 Ali AbdelAziziMohamed ElgenedyBarry Williams25 October 2023DOI: 10.3390/EN16217254

 Abstract 

This paper presents a comparative review of three different widely used power inverters, namely the conventional six-switch inverter; the reduced switch count four-switch inverter; and the eight-switch inverter. The later inverter can be reconfigured as a neutral-point diode-clamped inverter at the failure of one inverter leg. The three power inverters are compared and discussed with respect to cost, complexity, losses, common mode voltage, and control techniques. The paper is intended to serve as a guide regarding selecting the appropriate inverter for each specific application. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the three power inverters, followed by a comprehensive comparison between the three power inverters .

Abstract: The balanced output of three-phase voltage is an important index to measure the function of alternating current .In order to obtain high-grade output voltage in the case where the load is out-off-balance, this paper analyzed the mechanism and result of threephase voltage caused by unbalanced load, and some existing solutions to solve this problem. A new three-phase UPS inverter system is also raised which use △ /ZO transformer to provide a current path for zero-sequence current that caused by three-phase unbalanced load. What’s more, it controlled the component of negative sequence voltage in the unbalanced load by designing the doubled PI controller (of positive and negative sequence). In these ways it could solve the imbalance of three-phase voltage caused by Zero-sequence voltage and， making the three-phase UPS inverter system able to load the three-phase unbalanced load. A 60kVA three-phase UPS prototypes was built and the results were given based on the experiments.

 Abstract—This paper presents a performance evaluation of a proportional-integral (PI) with proportional-derivative (PD) feedforward control for the output voltage of a single-phase off-line uninterruptible power supply (UPS) without using additional sensors. The control system is explained and simulation results are presented to analyze the steady state and transient response of the implemented voltage control. A laboratorial prototype was developed, and acquired experimental results considering linear and nonlinear loads are presented and discussed, corroborating the obtained simulation results.
