Modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based high-voltage direct current (HVDC) presents attractive technical advantages and contributes to enhanced system operation and reduced oscillation damping in dynamic MMC-HVDC systems. We propose an advanced small-signal multi-terminal MMC-HVDC based on dynamic phasors and state space for power system stability analysis to enhance computational accuracy and reduce simulation time. In accordance with active and passive network control strategies for multi-terminal MMC-HVDC, the matchable small-signal stability models containing high harmonics and dynamics of internal variables are conducted, and a related theoretical derivation is carried out. The proposed advanced small-signal model is then compared with electromagnetic-transient and traditional small-signal state-space models by adopting a typical multi-terminal MMC-HVDC network with offshore wind generation. Simulation indicates that the advanced small-signal model can successfully follow the electromechanical transient response with small errors and can predict the damped oscillations. The validity and applicability of the proposed model are effectively confirmed.

A large-signal average model for the controlled on-time boost power factor correction(PFC) circuit is developed and subsequently linearized resulting in a small-signal model for the PFC circuit. Ac analyses are performed using the small-signal model, revealing new results new on small-signal dynamics of the PFC circuit. The analysis results and model predictions are confirmed with experimental measurements on 200W prototype PFC circuit.

The fundamental small-signal modeling of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries and a parameter evaluation approach are investigated in this study to describe the dynamic behaviors of small signals accurately. The main contributions of the study are as follows. 1) The operational principle of the small signals of Li-ion batteries is revealed to prove that the sinusoidal voltage response of a Li-ion battery is a result of a sinusoidal current stimulation of an AC small signals. 2) Three small-signal measurement conditions, namely stability, causality, and linearity, are proved mathematically proven to ensure the validity of the frequency response of the experimental data. 3) Based on the internal structure and electrochemical operational mechanism of the battery, an AC small-signal model is established to depict its dynamic behaviors. 4) A classical least-squares curve fitting for experimental data, referred as Levy's method, are introduced and developed to identify small-signal model parameters. Experimental and simulation results show that the measured frequency response data fit well within reading accuracy of the simulated results; moreover, the small-signal parameters identified by Levy's method are remarkably close to the measured parameters. Although the fundamental and parameter evaluation approaches are discussed for Li-ion batteries, they are expected to be applicable for other batteries.

In this paper, a small signal model for grid-connected inverter with unipolar pulse width modulation method is presented. Small-signal analysis allows to predict the stability and dynamics of the inverter. To regulate output voltage and to achieve power factor correction, inverter has two control loops. Loop gains are useful to identify the stability for multi-loop controlled system. Based on small-signal model, controllers are designed to improve audio susceptibility and output impedance characteristics. Proposed small-signal model and controllers are verified by PSIM simulation and experiments.

Small-signal modeling and controller design methodology are proposed to improve the dynamics and stability of a DC-DC dual active bridge (DAB) converter. The state-space average method has a limitation when applied to the DAB converter because its state variables are nonlinear and have zero average values in a switching period. Therefore, the small-signal model and the frequency response of the DAB converter are derived and analyzed using a generalized average method instead of conventional modeling methods. The design methodology of a lead-lag controller instead of the conventional proportional-integral controller is also proposed using the derived small-signal model. The accuracy and performance of the proposed small-signal model and controller are verified by simulation and experimental results with a 500 W prototype DAB converter.

A new small-signal model for the controlled on-time boost power factor correction (PFC) circuit is presented. The proposed small-signal model is valid up to high frequencies over lKHz. The model can be used in designing the voltage feedback compensation of PFC circuits, the control bandwidth of which is maximized with auxiliary means of removing the low-frequency ripple from the output. The accuracy of the model is confirmed by a 200W experimental hardware

This paper presents a novel close-loop control scheme based on small signal modeling and weighted composite voltage feedback for a three-phase input and single-phase output Matrix Converter (3-1MC). A small non-polar capacitor is employed as the decoupling unit. The composite voltage weighted by the load voltage and the decoupling unit voltage is used as the feedback value for the voltage controller. Together with the current loop, the dual-loop control is implemented in the 3-1MC. In this paper, the weighted composite voltage expression is derived based on the sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) strategy. The switch functions of the 3-1MC are deduced, and the average signal model and small signal model are built. Furthermore, the stability and dynamic performance of the 3-1MC are studied, and simulation and experiment studies are executed. The results show that the control method is effective and feasible. They also show that the design is reasonable and that the operating performance of the 3-1MC is good.

본 논문에서는 평균전류모드제어를 이용하는 컨버터의 전류응답을 예측할 수 있는 새로운 이산시간 소신호 모델을 구한다. 평균전류모드제어는 최대전류모드제어와 달리 전류제어를 위해 복잡한 보상기 회로를 사용하므로 컨버터의 동작 특성 해석이 어렵다. 평균전류모드제어를 사용하는 컨버터의 소신호 전류응답을 예측하기 위해 샘플러모델을 제안하고, 이 모델로부터 새로운 이산시간 소신호 모델을 구한다. 제안된 방식은 기존 방식과 달리 복잡한 형태의 보상기를 사용하는 컨버터에도 적용 가능하다. 제안한 새로운 이산시간 소신호 모델을 이용한 예측 결과를 스위칭 모델 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 PSIM을 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과 및 실험결과와 비교하여 제안한 새로운 이산시간 소신호 모델의 우수성을 보인다.

A discrete time domain modeling is presented for the pulse-width modulated series resonant converter (PWM-SRC) with a discontinuous current mode. This nonlinear system is linearized about its equilibrium state to obtain a linear discrete time model for the investigation of small signal performances such as the stability and transient response. The usefulness of this small signal model is verified through the dynamic simulation.

CMOS 소자의 높은 주파수 특성의 증가로 인하여 높은 주파수 범위에서의 RF와 아날로그 회로 설계가 가능하게 되었다. RF와 아날로그 회로 설계는 실수와 허수의 쌓인 S-파라미터의 특성 분석으로 가능하다. 높은 성능을 활용한 CMOS 기술들은 신뢰도와 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 소자의 열화로 인한 S-파라미터의 변화가 소신호 모델 파라미터들에 미치는 영향을 정확하게 분석하는데 매우 중요하다. S-파라미터의 열화로 인한 다양한 물리적인 현상들 특히 트랜스컨덕턴스와 게이트 커패시턴스의 성능 저하를 자세히 분석하였다. 측정에 사용된 H-gate와 T-gate 소자의 S-파라미터를 0.5GHz에서 40GHz 주파수 범위에서 측정하였으며, 소자의 모든 내부와 외부 파라미터들은 포화영역인 하나의 전압 조건에서 추출하였다. 이 논문은 게이트 구조가 다른 소자에 스트레스를 인가하여 소신호 등가 모델을 추출하였으며, 파라미터들의 변화를 비교 분석한 것이다.
