In this paper, the Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) control of the small scale wind power generation system with a three-phase diode rectifier and the grid-connected inverter is studied. Without the need for the converter circuits to control speed of the generator, it is economical and the structure is simple. Compared with existing systems, it can be to reduce the power semiconductor switches and passive elements, and to implement the MPPT control with only DC-Link voltage control of the grid-connected inverter. In order to allow MPPT control without the characteristic information of the wind turbine, the P&O algorithm is applied, and these are verified by the simulation and experiment.

This paper presents DC voltage recovery time improvement method in DC link of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) with offshore wind farm. The wind farm should be satisfied Low Voltage Ride Through(LVRT) control strategy when grid faults occur. The LVRT control strategy indicates actions which have to be executed according to the voltage dip ratio and the fault duration. However, The LVRT control strategy makes between wind farm and power system through DC Link voltage when grid fault occurs. The de-loading scheme is one of the method to control the DC voltage. But de-loading scheme need to long DC voltage recovery time. Thus, this paper proposes an improved de-loading scheme and we analysis DC voltage and active power reference through a simulation.

This paper proposes a grid-tied power conditioning system for the fuel cell power generation, which consists of a 2-stage DC-DC converter and a 3-phase PWM inverter. The 2-stage DC-DC converter boosts the fuel cell stack voltage of 26-48V up to 400V, using a hard-switching boost converter and a high-frequency unregulated LLC resonant converter. The operation of the proposed power conditioning system was verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. Based on the simulation results, a laboratory experimental set-up was built with a 1.2kW PEM fuel-cell stack to verify the feasibility of hardware implementation. The developed power conditioning system shows a high efficiency of 91%, which is a very positive result for the commercialization.

This paper presents a new orthogonal signals generator (OSG) with DC Offset rejection for implementing a phase locked loop (PLL) in single-phase grid-connected power systems. An adaptive filter (AF) based on the least mean square (LMS) algorithm is used to constitute the OSG in this study. The DC offset in the measured grid voltage signal can be significantly rejected in the developed OSG technique. This generates two pure orthogonal signals that are free from the DC offset. As a result, the DC offset rejection performance of the presented single-phase phase locked loop (SPLL) can be enhanced. A mathematical model of the developed OSG and the principle of the adaptive filter based SPLL (AF-SPLL) are presented in detail. Finally, simulation and experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed AF-SPLL.

The AC/DC converter, which connects the AC grid to the DC grid in the microgrid, is a critical component in power sharing and stable operation. Sometimes the AC/DC converters are connected in parallel to increase the transmission and reception capacity. When connected in parallel, circulating current is generated due to line impedance difference or sensor error. As a result of circulating current, there is deterioration and loss in particular PCS(Power Conversion System). In this paper, we propose droop control with novel adaptive virtual impedance for reducing circulating current. Feasibility of proposed algorithm is verified by PowerSIM simulation.

Optimization technique has been implemented to optimize the current and voltage controller gain parameters and duty ratio increment of DC-DC converter. Simulation results reveal that the proposed control has better response.

High-gain DC/DC converters have become one of the key technologies for the grid-connected operation of new energy power generation, and its research provides a significant impetus for the rapid development of new energy power generation. Inspired by the transformer effect and the ripple-suppressed ability of a coupled inductor, a double-coupled inductor high gain DC/DC converter with a ripple absorption circuit is proposed in this paper. By integrating the diode-capacitor voltage multiplying unit into the quadratic Boost converter and assembling the independent inductor into the magnetic core of structure coupled inductors, the adjustable range of the voltage gain can be effectively extended and the limit on duty ratio can be avoided. In addition, the volume of the magnetic element can be reduced. Very small ripples of input current can be obtained by the ripple absorption circuit, which is composed of an auxiliary inductor and a capacitor. The leakage inductance loss can be recovered to the load in a switching period, and the switching-off voltage spikes caused by leakage inductance can be suppressed by absorption in the diode-capacitor voltage multiplying unit. On the basis of the theoretical analysis, the feasibility of the proposed converter is verified by test results obtained by simulations and an experimental prototype.
