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.

Design Methodology for Interfacing DERs to Power Systems through VSC

2021 , Valderrabano-Gonzalez, Antonio , F. Beltran-Carbajal , R. Tapia-Olvera , O. Aguilar-Mejia , Rosas-caro, Julio , David Bigaud

This paper presents a methodology to connect distributed energy resources via an 84-pulse voltage source converter to three-phase system grid or load of standard or nonstandard voltage values. Transfer function blocks are included to illustrate interfacing among converters. The main input-output values to be considered in the application are detailed and the system can be modified to be included in other systems without loss of generality. The definition of the reactive component for supporting grid or load variations without degrading the overall performance is carried by for the DC-DC converter. A control variable for reducing the DC gain is used to improve the settling time. Our proposal defines the capacitive and inductive component values for an operating point and gives the option to reduce them when adding smoothed variations and adaptive controllers.

A Symmetric Sixth-Order Step-Up Converter with Asymmetric PWM Achieved with Small Energy Storage Components

2024 , Dueñas García, Iván , Rosas-Caro, Julio , Robles-Campos, Héctor R. , Posada, Johnny , Valdez-Resendiz, Jesus E. , Valderrabano-Gonzalez, Antonio , Gabbar , Hossam A. , Bhanu Babaiahgari

This research explores an improved operation of a recently studied converter, the so-called two-phase sixth-order boost converter (2P6OBC). The converter consists of a symmetric design of power stations followed by an LC filter; its improved operation incorporates an asymmetric pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme for transistor switching, sometimes known as an interleaved PWM approach. The new operation leads to improved performance for the 2P6OBC. Along with studying the 2P6OBC, one of the contributions of this research is providing design equations for the converter and comparing it versus the interleaved (or multiphase) boost converter, known for its competitiveness and advantages; the single-phase boost topology was also included in the comparison. The comparison consisted of a design scenario where all converters must achieve the same power conversion with an established maximum switching ripple, and then the stored energy in passive components is compared. Although the 2P6OBC requires a greater number of components, the total amount of stored energy is smaller. It is known that the stored energy is related to the size of the passive components. Still, the article includes a discussion of this topic. The new operation of the converter offers more streamlined, cost-effective, and efficient alternatives for a range of applications within power electronics. The final design of the 2P6OBC required only 68% of the stored energy in inductors compared to the multiphase boost converter, and 60% of the stored energy in capacitors. This result is outstanding, considering that the multiphase boost converter is a very competitive topology. Experimental results are provided to validate the proposed concept.
