This paper proposes a comparison of Voltage Oriented Control (VOC) and Direct Power Control (DPC) under command mode transition for PMSG Wind Turbines (WT). Based on a neutral point clamped three level back to back type Voltage Source Converter (VSC), proposed control scheme automatically control the generated output power to satisfy a grid requirement from the hierarchical wind farm controller. Automatic command mode transition based on the dc-link voltage error provides a command mode changing between grid command and MPPT mode. It is confirmed through PLECS simulations in Matlab. Simulation result shows that proposed control scheme of VOC and DPC achieves a much shorter transient time of generated output power than the conventional control scheme of MPPT with optimal torque control and VOC under a step response. The proposed control scheme makes it possible to provide a good dynamic performance for PMSG wind turbines in order to generate a high quality output power.

본 논문은 수학적 모델링이 간편하고 제어기법의 적용이 쉬운 MATLAB 기반으로 태양광 셀과 모듈을 모델링하고 기존의 P&O MPPT제어 알고리즘을 분석하고 구현하였으며 전력전자 회로의 구현이 간단한 PLCES를 사용하여 부스트 컨버터 구현하였다. 이로써 일사량 변화와 온도변화의 영향이 고려되고, MATLAB 기반이므로 시뮬레이션 시간이 단축되며, 다양한 제어기법을 쉽게 적용할 수 있는 PV 발전시스템을 구축하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통해 태양광 모델의 성능과 MPPT 제어 성능을 검증하였다

A lumped model is proposed to predict liquid ejection characteristics of a thermally driven inkjet print head. The model is based on a two-dimensional heat conduction equation, an empirical pressure-temperature equation and a nonlinear hydraulic flow-pressure equation. It has been simulated through the construction of an equivalent R-C circuit, and subsequently analyzed using SIMULINK and a circuit simulation tool, PLECS. Using the model, heating and cooling characteristics of the head are predicted to be in agreement with the IR temperature measurements. The effects of the head geometry on the drop ejection are also analyzed using the nonlinear hydraulic model. The present model can be used as a design tool for a better design of thermal inkjet print heads.

This paper provides a comparison of high power semiconductor devices in 5MW-class Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) Medium Voltage (MV) wind turbines. High power semiconductor devices of IGBT module type, IGBT press-pack type, and IGCT of both 4.5kV and 6.5kV are considered in this paper. Benchmarking is performed based on neutral-point clamed 3-level back-to-back type voltage source converter supplied from grid voltage of 4160V. The feasible number of semiconductor devices in parallel is designed through the loss analysis considering both conduction and switching losses under the given operating conditions of 5MW-class PMSG wind turbines, particularly for the application in offshore wind farms. The loss analysis is confirmed through PLECS simulations. The comparison result shows that IGBT press-pack type semiconductor device has the highest efficiency and IGCT has the lowest cost factor considering the necessary auxiliary components.

This paper investigates characteristics of high power semiconductor device losses in 5MW-class Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) Medium Voltage (MV) wind turbines. High power semiconductor device of press-pack type IGCT of 6.5kV is considered in this paper. Analysis is performed based on neutral point clamped (NPC) 3-level back-to-back type voltage source converter (VSC) supplied from grid voltage of 4160V. This paper describes total loss distribution at worst case under inverter and rectifier operating mode for the power semiconductor switches. The loss analysis is confirmed through PLECS simulations. In addition, the loss factors due to di/dt snubber and ac input filter are presented. The investigation result shows that IGCT type semiconductor devices generate the total efficiency of 97.74% under the rated condition.

This paper provides a comparison of power converter loss and thermal description for voltage source and current source type 5MW-class medium voltage topologies of wind turbines. Neutral-point clamped three-level converter is adopted for voltage source type topology while two-level converter is employed for current source type topology considering the popularity in the industry. In order to match the required voltage level of 4160V with the same switching device of IGCT as in voltage source converter, two active switches are connected in series for the case of current source converter. The loss analysis is confirmed through PLECS simulations. In addition, the loss factors due to di/dt and dv/dt snubber and ac input filter are presented. The comparison result shows that VSC-based wind turbine system has a higher efficiency than that of CSC under the rated operating conditions.

This paper proposes a Direct Power Control (DPC) scheme of improved command tracking capability for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) Medium Voltage (MV) Wind Turbines. Benchmarking is performed based on a neutral point clamped three-level back-to-back type voltage source converter. It is introduced to design the DPC modeling and propose DPC scheme of a three-level NPC (3L-NPC) converter. During the fault condition in wind farms, the proposed control scheme directly controls the generated output power to the command value from the hierarchical wind farm controller. The proposed control scheme is compared with conventional control scheme as respect to loss and thermal analysis. The DPC scheme of improved command tracking capability is confirmed through PLECS simulations. Simulation result shows that proposed control scheme achieves a much shorter transient time in a step response of generated output power. The proposed control scheme makes it possible to provide a good dynamic performance for PMSG MV wind turbine to generate a high quality output power under grid fault condition.

본 논문에서는 직렬 연결 구조의 밸런싱 회로에 대한 정상상태 분석과 소신호 분석 및 제어기 설계를 진행하였다. 부하의 직렬 연결 구조는 전체 시스템의 도통손실을 감소시켜 효율을 극대화 할 수 있기 때문에 최근에 많이 연구되고 있다. 해당 구조는 직렬 연결된 부하들의 불균형을 맞춰주는 밸런싱 회로가 필수적인데, 이 회로의 특성 및 제어기가 전체 시스템의 동작 특성을 결정한다. 본 논문에서 진행한 밸런싱 회로의 소신호 분석을 바탕으로 직렬 연결된 2개의 부하와 밸런싱 회로의 전류 모드 전압 제어기를 설계 하였다. MATLAB과 PLECS 시뮬레이션 결과, 두 모델링의 결과가 0.13 % 이하의 오차를 가지는 것을 확인 하였으며, 이를 통해 해당 분석이 타당함을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 단일 2-level 3-leg 전압형 인버터를 사용하여 직렬 연결된 3상 및 단상 표면부착형 영구자석 동기전동기(SPMSM)를 가변속 운전하는 기법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 두 영구자석 동기전동기를 독립적으로 가변속 운전하기 위해서는 각각의 인버터가 필요하지만, 본 논문은 옵셋(Offset) 전압을 사용한 전압 펄스 폭 변조(PWM) 방식으로 인버터를 제어하여 단일 인버터를 사용한 3상 및 단상 전동기 동시 운전이 가능하다. 제안된 방식은 전력용 반도체 소자 수를 줄여 전동기 구동시스템의 가격을 절감시킬 수 있으며, PLECS 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 토폴로지의 유효성을 검증하였다.
