A Single-Output-Filter Double Dual Ćuk Converter

2024 , Robles-Campos, Héctor R. , Rosas-Caro, Julio , Valderrabano-Gonzalez, Antonio , Johnny Posada

This study introduces an innovative version of a recently studied converter. A Double Dual Ćuk Converter was recently studied with advantages like the possibility of designing it for achieving a low-input current ripple. The proposed converter, called the Improved Double Dual Ćuk Converter, maintains the advantages of the former one, and it is characterized by requiring one less capacitor and inductor than its predecessor. This allows addressing the challenge of optimizing the topology to reduce component count without compromising the operation; this work proposes an efficient design methodology based on theoretical analysis and experimental validation. Results demonstrate that the improved topology not only retains the advantages of the previous version, including high efficiency and robustness, but also enhances power density by reducing the number of components. These advancements open new possibilities for applications requiring compact and efficient power converters, such as renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and portable power supply systems. This work underscores the importance of continuous innovation in power converter design and lays the groundwork for future research aimed at optimizing converter topologies. A detailed discussion of the operating principles and modeling of the converter is provided. Furthermore, simulation outcomes highlighting differences in steady-state duration, output voltage, input current ripple, and operational efficiency are shared. The results from an experimental test bench are also presented to corroborate the efficacy of the improved converter.

Adaptive Neural Trajectory Tracking Control for Synchronous Generators in Interconnected Power Systems

2022 , Ruben Tapia-Olvera , Francisco Beltran-Carbajal , Valderrabano-Gonzalez, Antonio

The synchronous generator is one of the most important active components in current electric power systems. New control methods should be designed to guarantee an efficient dynamic performance of the synchronous generator in strongly interconnected nonlinear power systems over a wide range of variable operating conditions. In this context, active suppression capability for different uncertainties and external disturbances represents a current trend in the development of new control design methodologies. In this paper, a new adaptive neural control scheme based on differential flatness with a modified structure including B-spline Neural Networks for transient stabilization and tracking of power-angle reference profiles for synchronous generators in interconnected electric power systems is introduced. These features are attained due to the advantages extracted of these two approaches: (a) a control design stage based on a power system model by differential flatness and (b) an adaptive performance using a correct design of B-spline Neural Networks, minimizing parameter dependency. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by simulation results in two test systems: single machine infinite bus and an interconnected power system. Transient stability and robust power-angle reference profile tracking are both verified.
