Title: Development of a Power and Voltage Control Scheme for Multi-Port Solid State Transformers
Solid State Transformers (SSTs) are being considered as a replacement to the classic transformers especially for renewable energy and energy storage systems mainly due to their much smaller size and controllability and regulation over the transferred power. Multi-Port SSTs share one high frequency core for the isolation between several devices and hence are even more compact and efficient but the system is complex and the control of such a system is a challenge. This paper considers a four-port, MPSST connected to a renewable source, battery, load, and the grid and discusses various scenarios and operating points. It is shown that several factors including the ratio of the renewable power to the load, battery SOC status and role of the battery in the system change the desired power flow in the system and there are several control structure needed for each mode of operation. These modes of operation and the boundary between them are recognized and eventually a MIMO control scheme is suggested that includes several switches to changes the structure of the controller to adjust the controller structure to the operating condition. Eventually, input-output linearization technique has been adopted to the system to linearize the model and achieve a better control performance.  more » « less

    In this paper, design of a compact high frequency four-port transformer for a Solid-State Transformer (SST) arrangement is presented. Unlike other SSTs, the four-port system integrates three active sources and a load port with galvanic isolation via a single transformer core. In addition to this feature, one of the three source ports is designed to operate at Medium Voltage (MV) 7.2kV for direct connection to 4.16kV AC grid, while other ports nominal voltages are rated at 400V. The transformer is designed to operate at 50kHz and to supply 25kW/port. Thus, the proposed system connects the MV grid, Energy Storage System (ESS), PV, and DC load to each other on a single common transformer core. Based on the system power demand and availability of renewable energy resources, utility and energy storage ports can either supply or draw power, while PV port can only supply power, maintaining the required demand for the load. This work focuses mainly on the High Frequency Transformer (HFT) design. An extensive study is carried out to obtain the optimal, compact, cost effective, and high efficiency model. Modeling, mathematical, and simulation results are derived and presented to demonstrate the viability of this design.

    The cascaded H-bridge multilevel active rectifier is a prominent converter configuration. It presents compelling advantages, including high adjustability for a number of applications, such as in solid-state transformers, traction applications, medium and high power motor drives and battery chargers. However, when the H-bridge is operating under an unbalanced load and asymmetrical voltage conditions, it becomes important to design advanced control strategies to maintain the stability of the system. In this study, a Lyapunov-function based control method is proposed for controlling the single-phase cascaded H-bridge active rectifier to achieve global asymptotic stability. A capacitor voltage feedback is added to the conventional Lyapunov-function based stabilizing control method to minimize the resonance of the LCL filter. Additionally, a Proportional-Resonant (PR) control approach is adopted to obtain the reference current signal. This increases the robustness of the current control scheme. A DC voltage balancing control procedure is also employed to prevent the unbalanced DC voltage conditions among the H-bridges. The DC voltage is controlled via a PI controller. The capability of the control approach is verified with simulation and experimental studies.

  3. Abstract

    This paper presents the genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) based frequency regulation for a wind‐based microgrid (MG) using reactive power balance loop. MG, operating from squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG), is employed for exporting the electrical power from wind turbines, and it needs reactive power which may be imported from the grid. Additional reactive power is also required from the grid for the load, directly coupled with such a distributed generator (DG) plant. However, guidelines issued by electric authorities encourage MGs to arrange their own reactive power because such reactive power procurement is defined as a local area problem for power system studies. Despite the higher cost of compensation, static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a fast‐acting FACTs device for attending to these reactive power mismatches. Reactive power control can be achieved by controlling reactive current through the STATCOM. This can be achieved with modification in current controller scheme of STATCOM. STATCOM current controller is designed with reactive power load balance for the proposed microgrid in this paper. Further, gain values of the PI controller, required in the STATCOM model, are selected first with classical methods. In this classical method, iterative procedures which are based on integral square error (ISE), integral absolute error (IAE), and integral square of time error (ISTE) criteria are developed using MATLAB programs. System performances are further investigated with GA and PSO based control techniques and their acceptability over classical methods is diagnosed. Results in terms of converter frequency deviation show how the frequency remains under the operating boundaries as allowed by IEEE standards 1159:1995 and 1250:2011 for integrating renewable‐based microgrid with grid. Real and reactive power management and load current total harmonic distortions verify the STATCOM performance in MG. The results are further validated with the help of recent papers in which frequency regulation is investigated for almost similar power system models. The compendium for this work is as following: (i) modelling of wind generator‐based microgrid using MATLAB simulink library, (ii) designing of STATCOM current controller with PI controller, (iii) gain constants estimation using classical, GA and PSO algorithm through a developed m codes and their interfacing with proposed simulink model, (v) dynamic frequency responses for proposed grid connected microgrid during starting and load perturbations, (vi) verification of system performance with the help of obtained real and reactive power management between STATCOM and grid, and (vii) validation of results with available literature.

  4. As technology advances and cities become more innovative, the need to harvest energy to power intelligent devices at remote locations, such as wireless sensors, is increasing. This paper focuses on studying and simulating an energy management system (EMS) for energy harvesting with a battery and a supercapacitor for low power applications. Lithium-ion batteries are the primary energy storage source for low power applications due to their high energy density and efficiency. On the other hand, the supercapacitors excel in fast charge and discharge. Furthermore, supercapacitors tolerate high currents due to their low equivalent series resistance (ESR). The supercapacitor in the system increases the time response of the power delivery to the load, and it also absorbs the high currents in the system. Moreover, the supercapacitor covers short-time load demand due to the fluctuation of the renewable source. The EMS monitors the proposed system to maintain power to the load either from the renewable source or the energy storage. The power flow of the energy storage is controlled via DC-DC bidirectional converters. The lithium-ion battery is charged via a constant current (CC) using a sliding mode controller (SMC) and a constant voltage (CV) via a typical PI controller. The response of the SMC current controller is compared with PI and Fuzzy current controller. Furthermore, the performance of a system having and not having a supercapacitor is compared. Finally, MATLAB modeling system simulation and experimental implementation results are analyzed and presented.

    With the growth in penetration number and power level of renewable energy resources, the need for a compact and high efficient solid state transformer becomes more important. The aim of this paper is to design a compact solid state transformer for microgrid application. The proposed transformer has four ports integrated on a single common core. Thus, it can integrate different renewable energy resources and energy storage systems. The transformer is operating at 50kHz switching frequency, and each port can handle 25kW rated power. In this paper, the ports are chosen to represent a realistic industrial microgrid model consisting of grid, energy storage system, photovoltaic system, and load. The grid port is designed to operate at 4160V AC, while the other three ports operate at 400V. Moreover, the grid, energy storage, and photovoltaic ports are active ports with dual active bridge topologies, while the load port is a passive port with full bridge rectifier one. In this paper, an extensive and complete design and modeling of the entire solid state transformer is presented. The proposed design is first validated with simulation results, and then the proposed transformer is implemented. Some preliminary experimental tests are also performed and the obtained results are reported.
